Madam Felicia and Madam Theresa sat in their apartment, engrossed in a conversation when a series of loud knocks startled them."Who is that?" Their curiosity piqued, as Martins hurriedly made his way to the door and swung it open.Standing before him was Senior Police Officer Smart, a stern expression engraved across his face."Good evening, officers," Madam Theresa greeted, her voice laced with concern."Is there something wrong?" Madam Felicia raised a brow, staring at him as if they had no business with him.Or was he here for Natalie's case?Officer Smart handed them a warning note, his gaze unwavering. "I'm here to deliver a message." Officer Smart began."You and your family need to keep your distance from Jamal's family. If anything happens to him or his wife, Melanie, or if any of you are reported or found in court again, you will face severe penalties." Officer Smart announced to them bluntly and they looked taken aback by his statement.Who reported them?Madam Felicia and
"Congratulations, Miss. Clara. We look forward to working with you."Clara had just started a new job and had quickly risen through the ranks. She was excitedly sharing the news and celebrating her promotion with her coworker, Nox. Their laughter and clamorous conversation filled the air, drawing the attention of those around them.Among the onlookers was Dennis. Dennis was envious of her closeness with Nox. The flower he had been holding tightly slipped from his grasp as he abruptly turned and fled the hall, his heart heavy with disappointment.Clara, noticing Dennis's sudden departure, hurriedly followed him, desperate to explain herself and salvage their relationship. She caught up with him outside the hall, breathless and filled with remorse."Dennis, please listen to me," Clara pleaded, her voice tinged with sadness."I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just a promotion at work. It doesn't change how I feel about you." Clara said anxiously.Dennis, his face clouded with jealousy and
Jamal had finally awakened from his coma, and the news of his recovery spread like wildfire. Dennis, Mateo, and Melanie rushed into the hospital room, their faces beaming with joy and relief. It felt as if their entire world had been restored.As Jamal sat in bed, enjoying a plate of fruit, his loved ones surrounded him, eager to share the recent happenings and catch him up on everything he had missed during his weeks of unconsciousness."Jamal, you won't believe what happened while you were asleep," she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement."We've been working tirelessly to uncover the truth behind your poisoning, and we've made significant progress."Dennis nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination."We've gathered evidence and identified the culprit responsible for your condition," Dennis added."It's been a tough journey, but we're not giving up until justice is served," Dennis said with certainty.Jamal listened intently, pride and gratitude shining in his eyes as he ob
Madam Felicia, Madam Theresa and Martins kept their eyes fixed on Mateo as he reached into his bag and pulled out a file. The atmosphere fell silent, anticipation hanging in the air as they awaited his explanation."I know this may be hard to believe," Mateo began, his voice filled with a mix of nervousness and determination."But everything I did was to protect our family." Mateo added.Madam Felicia raised an eyebrow, skepticism evident on her face."Protect our family? By working against us and aligning yourself with our enemies?" Madam Felicia questioned, her tone laced with disbelief.Mateo nodded, his eyes darting between his family members. "Yes, I know it sounds contradictory, but I had a plan. I planted a fake deed on Jamal's land, making it appear as if he was involved in illegal activities. My intention was to divert attention from our family and onto him." Mateo explained meticulously.Madam Felicia and Martins exchanged surprised glances, struggling to process Mateo's rev
Chapter 131Natalie felt dragged as she was roughly thrown to the ground, her lips bruised and she could taste the metallic warmth of her blood."Nathan please stop this! Killing me would make no difference," she said trying to stall her death until Melanie could find her."It would shut your running mouth, you slut." He felt disgusted by the fact that he even introduced her to his family and allowed her into his plans to bring Jamal down."You won't get away with this I promise, she would find me and the outcome would be dreadful." Now she trembled at the lengths this family was willing to go to bring harm to their blood."At least it's good riddance to bad rubbish and I don't have to see your despicable face anymore." Blinded by rage, he picked up a rod and hit her on her head thrice, she felt a sharp sting with a ringing sound in her head, and at that moment she felt everything was over, she cursed the day her path crossed with Nathan and what she was willing to do to feel accepte
Officer Smart mobilized a lot of police cars followed by a paramedic to the supposed crime scene with Melanie at the front seat, eager and anticipating a redemption for Natalie. She would never let them go scot free this time, they would pay if any harm comes to her. Their car approached where Nathan and Martins stood with the headlights shining brightly on them. Others trailed behind and surrounded them as Melanie and officer smart immediately stepped out of the car, he held a pistol gun at them.“Come forward with your hands clapped behind your heads, we have you surrounded.” He said with a megaphone, trying to sound as calm as the night. Through the car lights Nathan and Martins could be seen scanning the area for a route of escape but gave up when they saw all the armed men.“I can explain what's going on, it's really not what you think.” Martins desperately let out trying to save himself from being instigated."You have the right to remain silent, you can say your statement at th
It's been a week and 4 days since Natalie was admitted into the hospital and Melanie could be seen sitting on a couch in her ward, her hand on her chin and her face etched with multiple questions unanswered as she ponded on Natalie's narration. She knew there was no reason for her to lie but she also knew that her curiosity would not allow the incident that led to her husband being hospitalized, go uncovered. Yes, they were able to find the culprit, she knew Natalie didn't work alone and Jamal's step families are not so smart to pull such a stunt. She became impatient and decided to play the investigative card. “Natalie” she called out, trying to sound gentle and normal. “Mmmh?” Natalie responded absent mindedly with her eyes shut. “That substance-” she treaded carefully with her words trying to prevent any disastrous reaction, since she hasn't fully recovered yet. “..you used to spike my husband's water, who gave it to you?” she finally said. Immediately, Natalie's eyes sprung o
“Natalie, please put down the fork, we would leave quietly.” Madam Theresa said, with an arm stretched out as if it would change her mind. Natalie held the fork firmly to Nathan's throat as a weapon and all she wanted to do was make him feel the pain she felt when he hit her with a rod.“Natalie please I'm sorry, j-just take it away” he said pointing at the fork, fear evident in his voice as it trembled. Martins wanted to walk up to her but noticed she held it even tighter against Nathan's throat so he backed off. There was no way to make Natalie unaware as the bed was stationed at the wall and the entrance of the word was before them.“You coward! Ohh so you don't want to die but you love going around hurting people and almost killing them?!!” She yelled as her veins popped out in utter rage.“N-no no” he lost his words as he felt like she had completely lost it and would do what she nursed in her heart.“You! And your evil family came here feeling like you can traumatize me again?
