After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness Chapter 18
Henry was seated in his suite now covered by the lingering smoke that he puffed out of his mouth, and nostrils. His leg was crossed over the other, and he leaned back, ignoring the chain of women trying to get his attention. He has a more serious situation at hand. “Fuck! How haven't I been able to bring that fool down yet!” he cursed, asking himself a question even he couldn't answer. Henry's face was arched in a frown, his eyes squinted, and the cigarette he held dangled in his hands. His mind was restless. “How can I take down that brat!” He continued to ask himself questions he wasn't sure he could answer. Well, at least not yet. He still needed to get some valuable information. As he thought about that, his phone buzzed in his pocket, and the moment he pushed his hands in, pulling it out, he found the call he had been waiting for. Henry pushed himself up, and excused himself from the room, taking the call almost immediately. “Hello boss,” the information greeted, but Henry

The next day, Bethany walked through the hallway. She had a neutral expression on her face as she walked through the cell's hallway. The metal rods, and the smell of sweat caught her attention, but she didn't mind. However, she paused when her eyes caught sight of Norman. He was doing some work out, so she stood there silently, her eyes fixed on his figure. His muscles were perfect, and she couldn't take her eyes off him. She thought he didn't notice her so she stood there, watching him with an enticed gaze. It was obvious she was watching him. Her eyes moved along his movements until he stood up, and faced her, catching her unawares. “Oh, um…” “What are you doing here?” He asked, picking up a towel he kept there, and using it to wipe his face. She pressed her lips together, but smiled in an instant. “I came to check on you, and you seem to be doing good.” He hummed. “I see. Well I'm good.” Norman continued to do sit-ups when he answered her question, and there was a serious

Bethany’s face immediately squeezed into a frown. Her brows kneaded, and her jaw clenched. “And what's the meaning of this rubbish you're saying to me, what!” Henry, not wanting to back down, frowned as well. He was at first calm, but it seemed like Bethany's reaction provoked something inside of him, something he couldn't seem to shake off. “Listen I know you might not believe me, and that's why I came with proof. My source of information is never wrong, and the sooner you start to understand this, the better for you. You aren't getting the picture here.” He was still trying to explain, and then pulled out a document from underneath the desk. Bethany had creased lines on her forehead, wondering what he was up to, but Henry was damn serious. “You don't seem to be understanding what's going on. You doubt my words, here's proof.” He pushed the documents that were in the file towards Bethany who took at one glance at the file, and pushed it back. “You seem to be obsessed with this, b

Bethany sighed. “You're right. This is too much for someone to have. Especially someone with a job like his, or status like his. I'll look into the matter.” “I'm coming with you. There's no need to worry, okay? We are going to uncover all that's needed. You don't need to worry.” There were no words, silence reigned, and she sighed. “Fine. Then let's get moving. Whatever we need isn't going to be found out here, we both know that.” “Yeah, you're right,” Bethany responded as she pushed herself up from her head alongside Henry. They walked towards the door, and then he paused. “Let's take my car. I'll be delighted to drive you.” He added. Not really having a choice, she decided to let him tag along, but warned him sternly. “I'll be the one doing the topic. There's no need for you to put your mouth in businesses that do not concern you, and also, I'll ensure that everything is uncovered if you cooperate.” Henry smirked. “You wouldn't even know I'm here, but there are so many houses

Bethany looked around to see that there were more suitcases stuffed with letters when she tried to open them. At some point, she got tired. She squeezed her face, and immediately fisted her hands. However, she wanted to make sure the investigation was complete. “What if the letter was something bad. You should check it out. Maybe there's more. Let's pour out the letters, check deeper. Something's definitely wrong.” He urged and the next thing she did shocked him. She walked over to where the letters were and made sure to pick them up, and then she stared at the envelope for a few seconds before pulling out the letter that was inside. Bethany's eyes darted around the lines, and the frown that was there slowly started to turn into a smile. She stared at the letter with so much compassion it got him worried about what it might be. “What does the letter say? Does it incriminate him?” Henry asked. He seemed more interested in what the letter was saying, so he inched closer to

“You must actually be kidding me. Do you think I would want to cover up a crime? Checking those boxes will take forever, and you want us to do that now because you're insecure, or sure of a crime when clearly the letter says it's for charity.” He frowned. “That's the point. The letter. That letter contained a huge help that he offered. How was he able to get that kind of money? The case isn't closed. If you close down the case then I guess it's because you want to, but as for me, I don't think I want the case closed now until every letter is open.” His voice was certain, with no remorse. Bethany clenched her fists, her glare sharp. As much as she wanted to argue, she knew Henry had a point. Still, the thought of dragging her team into unnecessary trouble made her hesitate. She sighed, anxiety settling in her chest. She had made a promise to herself to make sure Norman comes out of prison, but she still needs to follow certain procedures. “You know why I’m doing this,” Henry said fi

Mr Lucas the mayor was now seated with Mr Havold, Henry's father. They seemed to be having a good time, sipping wine, and enjoying themselves.A laugh erupted from Lucas' lips. He was the happiest at this time. However, Havold was quiet, watching him speak. “I must say, your son is really something. He was the one who uncovered everything. I'm so proud of him. You must be really proud as well.” Havold chuckled. He seemed to be enjoying the conversation. His eyes were fixed on the mayor who was still busy praising his son.“Yes of course I'm proud of my son. Besides, he was the reason a fraud star like Norman was caught. I really want to make sure he stays in jail forever. Thankfully he has video evidence that can change everything. But it's not such a big deal.”Lucas raised his brows. “What did you say, not a big deal? Are you kidding me?” Lucas exclaimed it seemed he had a lot in mind as well. His lips were parted, and he stared at Havold for a while. It seemed Havold wasn't as i

Havold was seated in the conference where a lot of big shots had been announced. He couldn't help but look around, and smile. This was his moment to shine, and his son had given that opportunity, he was going to make the best of it.Soon, their family name was going to spread, and a lot of people were going to know their family name for the good things they did, with the positive reviews from the public, they'll become one of the most important people in society.A smirk plastered on their lips, and there was a bit of confusion. No one knew what was actually going on here, at least not yet. There were many murmurs. Some say that Havold had come to tell the truth.Suddenly, Havold cleared his throat, his eyes glued to the crowd.“Good day ladies, and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and even Amazon journalists. I want to thank you for honouring my person, and for coming here to uncover the mask of a very corrupt man.” He spoke with a loud voice that demanded attention.As soon as he s

“I knew he was never a good person. I should have known from the start. All the while it seemed like he was a good person, but he wasn't. He was just trying his best to act like he was one but he was the reason why I was always this way.” Lena complained with tears in her eyes. She had always loved Henry, and had always been there for him, but this was how he shattered her heart into bits.He had been a bit distant. Infact, Their relationship took a big turn when all of a sudden, he started ignoring her. She had tried to reach out to him, but he seemed more interested in other things.

He could recall his son was amongst a group committing crime, but he didn't go for the operation which involved his friends being caught. However, for some reason his son got involved, and was sentenced to execution by Drake, but she was able to stand by his side to ensure nothing like that happened.

“Maybe he's not lying…” she expressed, and immediately tried to make sense of everything that had been happening.Andrew on the other hand wasn't ready to listen. There was already a lot on the ground. She was trying her best to ensure that things went well. “One of the lessons you learn as a detective is never to trust anyone. I know you have been seeing a lot lately, but I need you to understand that things would be good enough.”Silence reigned. But she was still convinced that he was taking these things too far. He was trying to calm them down, but unfortunately, it seemed they were unable to be calmed. She was worried about the way things were. Her heart drummed, but she tried to make him understand.“Listen… maybe we should–” she was still trying to convince Andrew when all of a sudden the door to the emergency ward was opened and the doctor immediately came into the house.

Bethany had arrived at the rally, and she has asked for a bottle of water from her colleague before she stood up from the place, and arrived at where the masses stood.Cheers were heard, and it seemed they didn't really know what was going on. She was just silent, and tried her best to understand what was going on as well.She felt dizzy, but stood strong, waving her hands, and wearing a smile.As soon as she reached the podium, she adjusted the mic, but as she opened her mouth to speak, she noticed everything around her spinned faster.“I, I, I am…” she was breathing heavily, trying to contain herself. The faces of the people changed from smiles to something else. Everyone was more than shocked. Confusion, and worry rested on each furrowed brows, and creased lines that was crafted on their forehead due to the expression that they had. “Chief, are you alright?” Her colleague asked, moving closer to her, but she held out her hands to stop her colleagues from approaching.“But you're c

“Are you sure you can do this? You seem a little bit down. What's the matter? I'm sure There's a lot going on with you. You look so sick, and I'm getting worried about you. I mean, I can tell you aren't fine…”“Well, there's nothing wrong. I'm just stressed, but there's no need to worry, I'll make sure I make the speech. Norman must be set free okay?” “When does you being ever affect you this much? You're pale, and your eyes are baggy. In scared for you, and I don't even know how to say it. Please understand what I mean. Can you do that for me?” She asked with raised brows, and Bethany smiled.“Yeah… I do, but we're getting late. Just get the car ready. You'll be driving me. How about that?” She asked, and her female counterpart smiled. “Of course, but after this we're going to take you to a hospital. Do you understand?” Bethany wanted to be stubborn, but she knew that she wasn't going to go anywhere with the attitude. She had to just play along because if she didn't, she was never

“Please.. please…” There were distant chatters when the man was brought before the bishop who had his head lowered the whole while, but was still somehow able to see the man who was begging for his life.“Please, don't kill me. I'll tell you all you need to know. I promise…” there were so many things involved at this moment, but whatever the man said finally got the bishop interested.“Hmm, anything right? I heard you worked closely with Norman. Didn't you?” The man who was on his knees, shaking and sweating like there was no tomorrow was unable to answer. He had so many reasons not to. First, he was scared, and secondly, he knew answering didn't guarantee his freedom.“Are you going to speak, or you're like those strong heads who prefer to be tormented because that's my favourite game.”“T-tormented?” He stammered, breathing hard. Confusion reigned in his heart, and he felt as though a lot of things were wrong.“No, no I don't like to be tormented. Please just let me go. I am the

“She must be stopped! I thought you said you were going to handle it!” He screamed, and there was a lot going on. He needed time to understand what was actually going on.“Yes. We did, but she's a renowned detective and most times her guys are afraid to arrest her. She's just too–” the bishop shot him a glare which made him feel weak. He swallowed, and tried to control himself, but it seemed like things were going out of control.He didn't even know how else to handle it. He bit his lips, and immediately lowered his head.“I’m sorry. I didn't mean for all this to happen this time, but it's really going to be hard to do something like this. You need to understand that things are really hard at this point.”“Hard? Do you mean hard?” he asked with raised brows, and there was no response. The bishop was making his life a living hell. At this point, he didn't wish he should sign up for something like this. He was extremely worried that he was going to face this kind of judgement from him.

Drake is doing everything right to please the bishop because he knew his position was at risk. Besides, everything was going well for him. The power, the respect, and the fame. It was all he ever wanted, and now he was getting everything he ever wanted.Drake's cell rang, and upon staring at the screen, he saw it was Jackson. His face instantly filled with creased lines, but instead of being mad, there was concern on his face. He has been doing everything right.He hummed and then immediately proceeded to take the call. “Hello?” His voice showed how skeptical he was, and how he was trying to know what the issue was.“We need to see immediately there's something we need to discuss. Is that alright?” Not having any choice, Drake hummed in agreement, but before he could ask what the matter was, he noticed that the call had already ended. Since he knew where they were already getting at, all he needed to do was to make sure he got to the meeting place on time. “Jackson? What's this all
