Overwhelmed with grief, she screamed, slamming her hand against the steering wheel, causing the horn to blare. It startled some of the people who were also caught in traffic. Folks who from the side looked at her, talking amongst themselves."Are you okay, honey?" A woman, up to her mother's age inquired from the side. But Jessica didn't even spare her the courtesy of a look, not even a response. She buried her face between her hands on the steering wheel. Shortly after, there was an eruption of horns honking. "Hey! Move it, will you?" the commuters yelled at Jessica. The traffic light had turned green, but

CHAPTER 25: SAVING THE DAY.Jack's heart thumped at that moment. He looked in shock at the level of anger and hatred that had overwhelmed the young girl. And who could blame her? She was subjected by that bastard to the most heinous of experiences by that bastard. The lady managed to stop herself just right when she would have split his neck open.

I know you wouldn't want to do anything stupid that would jeopardize your future, now would you?" The girl was in tears as she looked hatefully at the young man, Jack, subdued.

CHAPTER 24: UNEXPECTED SCENES. Jack was home that morning. It was the weekend. So he used the opportunity to kick back and relax. It was quite an eventful week. He was up early as usual, so he went out for a jog, alone. Wearing an Adidas tracksuit, he ran comfortably. His phone was strapped to his arm for effective movement, and he had on his AirPods, listening to his favorite playlist. The neighborhood was quite lonely as most of the neighbors hadn't woken up. It was 7:45 in the morning. Well, not many of the rich folks were given to physical fitness as he was. Most of them start out late after they have turned fifty years of age. Well, not Jack. He was thirty minutes into the jog when he heard his phone ringing. He checked to see the caller ID. Seeing it was his lawyer, he halted and answered the call. "McQueen.""Good morning, Mr Rosker.

"I don't friggin have time to waste!" she replied and hastened out of the house, slamming the door behind her. Michael stopped in the living room and sighed. "What could be the matter?" he asked himself, pondering for a bit. Jessica got

CHAPTER 22: UNEXPECTED TROUBLE.Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Jessica is getting ready for the meeting with the potential buyers of her company. She just finished taking a shower. As she combed her hair, her mind journeyed far. Although she faced the mirror, it wasn't her image that was before her. The angry faces of the miners were all she could see. Their angry voices re-echoed in her head.She couldn't even address the workers. She didn't have the balls to do so. What was she going to say even?
