Holding cell
*Jake POV*“Here comes the vultures,” the police captain says before all the chaos breaks loose.In a split second, we are surrounded by journalists, each one shoving their mics on my face.“Mr Anderson, is it true that you assaulted Advocate Brent?”“Is it true that you arrested Mr Spencer as revenge for him sleeping and impregnating your ex-fiancée’?”That question catches me by surprise. I know that George dumped Leticia like a used toilet paper before his arrest. I also know that George’s mother chased her out of the her son”s apartment that very same day. The pregnancy is the first I am hearing of.“Do you not think it was a conflict of interest to have been the one handling the president’s case when you clearly have history with Mr Spencer?”I don’t even know which one is asking what and I don’t care. I flash them my innocent smile before following the captain to his car.“You look too relaxed about this, Mr Anderson,” the captain says, worriedly.“That’s because I have no reaso

Aftermath
*Jake POV*The following morning is chaotic at the police station. The paramedics are in and out of the cell, while the officers who were on duty last night are running around like headless chickens. They must have been so engrossed by those girls because the whole night none on them came to the cells to check what was going on. The bastards must have thought I would be dead by now. I wonder what they planned to write on their reports because their expressions when they found me standing instead of the rich idiots, was speechless. “Can anyone tell us their names?” the senior paramedic shouts. It’s really amusing because these guys are very well known yet the paramedics can’t tell them apart now. “George, Lance, Mathew, Rick and Mark,” one officer responds. The paramedic sighs. “Maybe my question was not clear. We’ve been given the names, we need to know which one is which for us to record in our assessments and for the hospital handover.”The officer looks closely at the five ma

Gold digger
*Jake POV*The reporters are on my face the moment I step out. Do these people ever sleep?It’s Mr Anderson this and that. I don’t know who is asking what and I don’t care. I walk towards Tom’s car at my usual pace with them firing questions I have no intentions of answering. I am about to open the passenger door when the reporter behind me asks a question I can not ignore. “We know that your ex fiancée turned out to be the gold digger who betrayed you with Mr Spencer. Are you not worried about the gold digger you are currently dating?”Some people have guts. I turn around and walk straight to him. He must be one of those faceless people on the social media who are always calling Tanya names. Len rolls down the window. “Jake,”he warns while the rest of the reporters suddenly shy away. I guess they can tell that I am pissed. I don’t care what they think of me, but Tanya cares and will definitely be hurt by this. The idiot is now shaking, as if I can do anything to him with so many p

The beginning
*Jake POV*Two weeks later…The crooked cops who tried to hand me over to George and his friends are all fired. The captain has been under a lot of pressure with all the reports and disciplinary actions for his staff but he is slowly becoming my new ally. Even though all stretched out with limited staff, he informs me that the good guys would rather work harder than have rotten potatoes in their organisation. I can’t wait to see their response to the state of the art crime- embarking new technology I have anonymously donated to the department. Tanya says that makes me more like an ARF agent, combating crime behind the scenes, but it’s not the same. Checking the time, I have a few minutes to get downstairs, grab a quick bite before I am late for work. I find my Babe in the lounge, all sweaty and provocative. “Morning sleepy head,” my gorgeous fiancée beams, planting a kiss on my cheeks. Her rosy cheeks, sexy sports bra and shorts tell me that she’s coming back from her morning run.

Playing along
*Jake POV*The missing footage of the president’s attempted assassination is already breaking news. No one is even talking about the deputy president stepping down. The whole country is shocked when the police department cannot explain how the vital piece of evidence just vanished from their secured storage. The media is already speculating that the culprits are most likely the expelled corrupt police officers. I roll my eyes when the presidential spokesperson relays the highest office’s shock at the news. I really do feel for Captain Swart who has to answer for another case of his department failure when I know the real culprits.I find Tanya, Mia and Mercy having tea at the balcony. They are not surprised to learn that Len and Tom are behind the missing footage. I don’t think they quite understand how all our lives will change when those idiots are released. “So, you quit your job?”“Not really. I am on official highly classified mission,” I clarify to my fiancée, who is looking s

Visitors
*Jake POV*Three days later…I wake up the to find Mia in the lounge all sweaty and breathless and Mercy having tea in the lounge. I turn to the Mia after planting a kiss on Mercy’s cheeks. “Where’s my fiancée?”She had reluctantly agreed to run with Tanya in order to get rid of her new ‘running partners’ but I don’t see Tanya anywhere. She urns around and peeps through the balcony. “There she is, limping like a crybaby. I can’t …”“Why is she limping?” I cut her short, my heart already pounding. “She fell and..”“She what? …and you left her behind? What’s wrong with you?” I am really freaking out now and yelling at Mia, who is looking at me like I’m crazy. Tanya has never injured herself running, she can’t afford to be falling now with a precious cargo on board. “Ahem!” Mercy clears her throat. She thinks I’m overreacting but I can’t help it. Mia rolls her eyes at me. “Tanya is a softie, but a sprain never killed anyone.” She heads upstairs while I’m cursing myself. I can feel

Kali agents
*Agent Paul (Joey) POV*It’s been over five years since I was planted in this county. Working in DC’s office makes my life easier. I get first hand information on everything that’s happening, from high profile corruption crimes, to classified information. It is the later I am most interested in and it is all accessible here. Well, except the so called ARF files. I was starting to think we are chasing our own tails when Spencer senior searched for that ring. I sent him bait and he took it. He was curious about its value and roots but I was curious about the owner. That’s who I and others were planted here for. It’s who our predecessors and their predecessors were also planted here for. Alias names, fake citizenship papers, with one goal, to solve the highest profile assassinations of our country. It’s been years, I was starting to think everything has gotten too cold to trace, but I am so close. Five of our presidents assassinated with no suspect, I finally had a lead. I’m was a few

Karma
*Len POV*Fuck! Fuck!I can’t stop cursing as I kick Kali’s lifeless agents. This was a blunder, which was too close for comfort. We thought we had everything under control, but we were wrong. “This was too damn close! What happened Lo?” Tom is yelling at our agent. She was undercover, it was her responsibility to stall these two until we got here. They were never meant to even reach Jake’s mansion. Too fucken’ close!“I tried to buy time, Sir, but they were adamant on attacking right away,” she explains. “Joey (AKA agent Paul), was also starting to become suspicious of me,” she adds. I don’t doubt her capabilities. She is one of the bests. Tom and I personally trained her, like we do all our agents, but this is something we can’t afford to fail in. We failed his parents and have already failed Jake in so many ways, we just can’t fail at protecting him and his family. It’s the only way we can redeem ourselves. “Noted. Let’s get this place processed and cleaned up ASAP.”She nods an

Ghost from the past
*Jake POV*It’s been a week since we saw Leticia begging on the streets and Tanya just won’t let it go. She somehow relates to her because they are both pregnant and she’s always had a soft spot for the poor. I now hear about Leticia when I wake up and before I go to sleep. I wake up to find her looking at me and I already know what she has to say. “Jake.”“No.”I don’t even have to ask, her puffy puppy eyes say it all. “You have not even heard what I was going to say,” she cries. “I love you to bits, but you will not bring that witch here.”“Babe..”“No, Tanya.”“She can work in the garden and stay in the maid’s quarters. You will never have to see her. Babe, please. Think of the poor baby.”She’s obviously been thinking a lot about this. I am very sympathetic to the homeless because I have been there, but I don’t feel like that with Leticia. Unlike others out there with no one to turn to, she had a loving family and a future, but gave all away for the love of money. “That poor b

Family
*Jake POV*Two days later, I get home to find Tanya standing in the garden appreciating the colorful flowers before her.She gasps when I wrap my arms around her waist and plant a kiss on her neck.“How’s the nausea?”“Much better. Too expensive, but the medication works. I feel less tired and more alive now,” she confesses with a grin. She was against me buying the expensive medication the doctor recommended for the nausea because of its price. In the end I bought it without her consent.“Good to hear,” I say as I go around and kneeling in front of her to have a word with my baby.“Hey there little one. Did your mom feed you today?”Tanya rolls her eyes and giggles. She sometimes skips meals to avoids being nauseous. That’s the reason I insisted on buying the ridiculously expensive medication.“Can’t trust beauty pageants with this stuff, but daddy got your back, always.”“Tell your daddy not to worry because I am eating like a pig now,” Tanya responds, still rolling her eyes. She th
