Long live your majesty, your supremacy is of no match, you are the best of all. Different combos of accolades came from every corner of Priesthood Event Center on the day honourable Gideon was appointed as the C.E.O of Vibes international group of companies.

"I am so happy because today which used to be a fantasy now showed up to be reality." The celebrant smiled and slightly expose his white gapped teeth for a few seconds as he expresses how happy he was. He then continued by thanking his supporters and well-wishers for how well they have supported him before he finally handed the microphone back to the master of ceremony in charge. However, the MC continued with a piece of sentence that consequently brought about a minute silence before the peaceful and melodious priesthood event center turn out to be a battle font where supporters from two different opponents showed their martial art skills, while other people flee for their irreplaceable life.
Mrs. Justin restlessly seated right in front of the chief of police with her eyes filled with tears just kept saying "my husband has been missing for six days, where is he?" though the police officers tried to explain their effort to recover her husband ASAP, however, Mrs. Justin fell on the floor and she continue crying with zero control measure. The chief of police with a face filled with pity begged Mrs. Justin and he promise to use every power under his control to make sure he finds Engr. Justin irrespective of where he may be.
"Good morning sir", everyone greeted honourable Gideon as he mounts the rostrum of Vibes International Group of Companies to address his staff on the first day he resumed duty as the C.E.O of the organization.
"Good morning everyone. Hope you had a tremendous weekend. Here comes a brand new week, I beseech all and sundry to please handle all tasks wholeheartedly, and I pray God will help us all. "Amen", everybody chorused.
Moreover, Engr. Justin has been declared missing for days. Please try as much as possible to reach out to his family; most especially his wife. And don't hesitate to reveal any clue as to how we can find him to his wife; that is if you have any anyways. You may all leave for your various duty posts now. Engr. Collins, please meet me in my office as soon as you can."
Hello, am I on to Mrs. Justin? Yes sir, may I know you? I am inspector Samson, and I am calling from the table of the chief of police to seize this opportunity to let you know your husband is now in our custody. You may proceed to our station as soon as you can to meet him. Oo-okay sir, Mrs. Justin replied as she lunge towards her drawer to reach out for her car key.
Sir, I am Mrs. Justin, where is my husband? Oh! We have him with us now, please follow me. Justin! Justin!! Justin!!! She lunges towards her husband and embraces him with a tight hug. "Ouch! Please go easy on me; my head hurts a lot" Justin wisped to the ears of his wife as he embraces her with great joy all over his face. "Where have you been? Where!" Mrs. Justin Kept asking her husband as tears roll down her eyes like a running tap. "Can you please allow him rest, he is just recovering?" A police officer broke into their conversation as she tries to make her husband explain why he left her to undergo the horrible memory of having her beloved husband missing.
What lead you to it? You are such a terrible creature. The director of police screamed at honourable Gideon before allowing media agents to interview him.

O yes! We have the right C.E.O. The council of Vibes International Group of Companies rejoices as they bring the council meeting to an end.

Woohoo!!! People rejoice as Engr. Justin gently proceeds to the podium of Vibes International Group of Companies. "Though I thought I will never be able to see you again, however, as God will have it; I have comfort at last. I have the comfort of seeing your happy faces, I have the comfort of working with you again, and I have the comfort of freedom once again. Though honourable Gideon and his cop did try to deny me of my comfort by getting me kidnapped to deny me of my rightful post. Thank God some hunters were able to locate me in the middle of a wild scary forest. If you happen to be in my shoe back then, you will join me as I define "comfort as the opportunity to freely sleep under the roof of a house with nothing stopping you from exercising your will." A thousand thanks to all my well-wishers, and I promise to always make you proud as I govern this organization." Engr. Justin dropped the microphone and gorgeously work towards his chair as the master of ceremony called the inauguration service to an end.

Thank your for sharing your story in The Ink Well. You have some good dramatic elements with the kidnapping and the distraught wife who has been missing her husband. It is a little difficult to follow the narrative thread, however, and we never learn why the man was kidnapped. We have some great resources for new writers in our catalog of fiction writing tips that might benefit you. Good luck and keep writing!
