After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness Chapter 55
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

“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.

“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
After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness Framed and imprisoned
“Mr. Norman, you're under arrest!” the officer barked, stepping forward, with handcuffs. Norman glanced up from his desk, unfazed, his eyes cool and steady. “Under arrest? For what?” “For accepting a bribe!” The officer’s gaze hardened, but Norman didn’t flinch, though a flicker of confusion passed through his mind. “There’s been a mistake, Officer,” Norman said, keeping his voice steady. “I’ve never accepted a bribe. Who made this accusation?” “I did, Norman.” Before the officer could respond, the door swung open, and Lana, Norman’s fiancée, stepped inside, her expression twisted with disdain. “I reported you to the police. Now to save yourself from more embarrassment. Go with the police and pay for your crimes.”She said coldly.Norman’s calm wavered slightly as he turned to face her, his brows knitting in surprise. “Lana?” he asked, disbelief creeping into his voice，“What are you saying?““Don’t play innocent,” she snapped. “You took a bribe, and I did what was necessa
After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness Meeting the police Chief
As the two officers escorted Norman through the city streets toward the police station, curious onlookers gathered, whispering and snapping pictures. The acting Mayor, in handcuffs—how could this be?Amid the crowd's murmurs, Norman remained unfazed. Instead, it was the officers escorting him who lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact with the townspeople, as though they were the ones guilty of a crime.As they arrived at the station and were about to escort Norman inside, a convoy suddenly pulled up, halting directly in front of them. The officers caught sight of the license plate on the lead vehicle and immediately froze, their faces shifting into expressions of involuntary panic. It was Chief Bethany's car.The high-ceilinged lobby of the police station fell silent as Chief Bethany entered. The officers straightened instinctively, her reputation of iron discipline preceding her. With every step, she commanded respect—sharp suit, polished boots, and an unbreakable gaze.Betha
After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness Norman arrested?
When Norman was in the police station, a black Mercedes-Benz pulled up smoothly in front of The Grand Heavens, Valkoria’s most prestigious hotel. Known for its unmatched luxury, it was a place where only the wealthiest elites could even think about reserving a room. Tonight, however, Lana, her father Lucas, and her new boyfriend, Henry, were here to celebrate their recent success. As they stepped out, Lana tightened her grip on Henry’s arm, proudly presenting him to her father. Henry, dressed impeccably in a custom-fitted suit, looked every bit the part of a wealthy young man from Capital City. As they stepped into the lobby of The Grand Heavens, Mr. Divine, the hotel manager, approached them quickly, a wide smile breaking his typically stoic face. “Mayor Lucas, Miss Lana,” he greeted warmly. “It’s a pleasure to welcome you here. We’ve made arrangements for you in our finest suite.” Lana raised a brow, surprised. Divine had barely acknowledged her the last time she was here,
After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness The hotel owner
Seeing that their little lies would be exposed, Lucas intervened. “We have proof, but it's not here. You can see we're in Grand heavens, is this the right time to talk about this?”Harris shook his head. Arresting Norman was a grave mistake. And he hoped this wouldn't bring the downfall of Valkoria. “Removing Norman as the acting Mayor is a big mistake, Mayor Lucas.”Henry, seeing the opportunity, chimed in. “I will be the new Mayor.”“And who are you?” Harris turned to him and scoffed, but his grave expression remained.“I am the second son of the Havord family from the Capital City. I'm sure you will know about my family, we're among the elites of—”Harris rolled his eyes and cut him short. “I clearly don't know who nor your family is, and I don't care either. And for that position you're clearly not fit for it!” He said coldly.“How dare you!” Henry gritted his teeth.Lucas was also displeased with Harris’s behavior towards Henry. “Henry is right, he'll be the next acting Mayor.”
After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness Donald waive the bill
“He committed bribery and embezzlement. So I got him arrested.” Lana responded proudly. Donald was getting annoyed by her gestures. “How's that possible, Mr. Norman would never do—” “Well maybe he's just been pretending, hiding in the shadows. A hypocrite and a liar!” Lana interrupted Donald from completing his speech. Donald had been tolerating her disrespect because she was Norman's fiancee, but with what he was hearing he had no reason to remain nice anymore. “Mr. Norman is a good man, he'll never do such a thing!” Grand heavens was worth a billion dollars, and yet Norman bluntly refused 90% of the shares. How can such a man accept a bribe? Lana boiled in rage, she hated the way Donald was defending Norman. “You think you know him better than I do?” She gestured, her fingers pointing at Donald's chest. “He's my ex, and if I say he's a criminal then he is. He's a corrupt pest!” She exclaimed. “You're getting too arrogant. And I'm afraid, your meals are no longer complime

Henry was excited with the news. It seemed like things were going in their favour. Lucas was no longer the mayor, this meant there was a new government, but he didn't seem to know what was next. He didn't know what was coming for him.His facial expression showed how serious he was, and how he was ready to make a contract with Drake, but little did he know that there was something bigger for him.Frustration forced on his face when he didn't get to drake via call. It wasn't that he wasn't dialling. The issue was that the call wasn't being picked up which was a huge problem. He was trying to handle it like the adult he was, but it didn't seem it was going well. “Maybe he's busy…” Henry concluded, but at that moment, there was something else. He noticed there was no way Drake was so busy that he wouldn't take his call.“Was it the position? Maybe I should go see him in his office…” he expressed, and immediately grabbed his keys. He was prepared to make things make sense. When he got t

Chapter Lucas had finished work that day,but he had a lot on his mind. He had seen what was done to Raymond, the man he asked to look out for Drake, and he got more concerned. Something was definitely wrong.His facial expression darkened as he tried to get his things ready to leave the office. There was an unsettling feeling in his stomach, and even when he was worried about his position, he still had to make sure he was on the right track. There were a lot of things that were wrong now.Packing his bags, he exited his office, his car keys in his hands alongside his briefcase. Since he didn't trust anyone anymore, he preferred to drive himself around. Once he got to the parking lot, he immediately got into the car, and tried his best to start the engine. He sighed, relaxing his back before sitting up to start driving. When he roared the engine, he directed the car to where it was supposed to be. “So what next?” He asked with raised brows, and a lot of things were in his mind. He

Jackson was standing there, his body nervous. He knew what he was here for, but he didn't know why the bishop had sent for him in such a manner. His heart drummed, and he tried so hard to control himself, he didn't know how to. His chest drummed crazily.“His bishop…” he greeted, his eyes fixed on the ground with so much fear. He was sweating so much, and the lump on his throat refused to go away. It seemed like it was stuck there, and he didn't know how to go about it “Hmm, Jackson, I really don't like what's going on…” The bishop was the one speaking now, but he was so sacred. He was looking for a way to be able to get things done as quickly as possible. He was scared, and tired, and was also very worried.“I’m sorry bishop, I didn't mean to–” “Silence! You never mean anything. Are you trying to tell me you're incompetent?” He asked with raised brows, and there were no words.“Answer me!” This time Jackson received a jolt. “N-o…” he stammered. He seemed to have a lot on his mind,

Bethany had been trying her best to understand what the hell was going on. Now that she had already caught the person involved in sabotaging her plan, she was determined to make things make sense. Her mind ached with worry and she was ready to make her move.She had already seen Norman, and from her last conversation with him, she was ready to start again. “You're doing the right thing by defining your circle. What I need you to do now is to expose those that are involved in this.”“But how?” She asked with raised brows, but there was no response. Bethany then recalled that there was a lot involved in this. She had to put herself together in order to get to where she was aiming to be.“So what's the main issue now?” Her trusted colleague asked, and she sighed. She knew what she wanted to do. It was time to use the media in order to get what she wanted.“Gather the media. The media is needed, and I know you wouldn't understand anything. You need something to be able to understand wher

Lucas paced round his office, his hands on his chin, and a confused look etched on his face. No doubt things had turned worse than he expected. He was tired, and was worried about the way things were. His heart drummed, and he smiled. There was a lot that was already on his plate, but he didn't know what he was going to face when he handed that kind of power to Drake.His face squeezed and he fished his hands. His eyes darkened as he thought of everything that was involved. The fact that things are already upside down was what he didn't understand. He was trying to make sure things fall in place, but it didn't seem right. “I was so stupid!” He slammed the counter top that was in front of him with a frown. So many things were playing on his mind, and he was trying to cause everything to be normal again. “Now he's holding two most Powerful offices in his hands and even when the Robberies had stopped, there were still a lot of things involved.
