"Where should I start from?" She mumbled to herself.She paced the room, her mind consumed by worry. Her husband, Jamal, lay motionless in a hospital bed, his once vibrant spirit reduced to a mere flicker.Determined to uncover the truth, she had called Dennis to tell him exactly what Doctor Richester had told her."He is right." Dennis nodded in agreement after listening to her narration."Dennis, we can't just sit here and do nothing." She said, her voice tinged with desperation."We need to find out what caused Jamal's condition and if possible, find the antidote that might save him." She said abruptly and Dennis nodded in agreement, his face etched with concern."I couldn't agree more, Melanie. We need answers." Dennis said."But, where can we get this evidence? How can we find those bastards who tried to ruin my husband's life?" She questioned anxiously, staring at Dennis."I think we should visit the last place he was at. That was the only place I can think of." Dennis suggeste
"Fuck." The detective grunted under his breath.The detective stared at Natalie, who sat across from him in the interrogation room. He sighed, frustrated by her refusal to cooperate."Look, Natalie, we know you're involved in Jamal's condition," The detective said, his voice firm."We just need you to tell us who asked you to harm him." Another statement followed.Natalie remained silent, her gaze fixed on the table in front of her. The detective signaled to Officer Smart, who had brought her in, and motioned for him to leave the room. This was a conversation he needed to have alone with Natalie.Officer Smart nodded and exited, leaving the detective alone with the uncooperative suspect.The detective leaned forward, his voice taking on a softer tone. "Natalie, you're not just hurting Jamal, but also yourself. By cooperating, you might be able to mitigate the consequences." The detective warned her calmly.Natalie's eyes flickered with uncertainty, but she still refused to speak. The
"Damn, this is bad!" Madam Felicia hissed.Madam Felicia paced back and forth in her small study room, frustration engraved across her face. She had just ended a heated phone call with her accomplice, London, who had refused to help them any further. The plan was unraveling, and their grip on control was slipping away."You and your family are on your own now." London's words echoed in Madam Felicia's mind. She had relied on him to keep Natalie in check and also help silence Melanie, but his sudden change of heart had left her seething with anger and uncertainty."What do we do now?" Madam Felicia mumbled to herself, her hands trembling as she turned to leave her room but almost bumped into James."What the fuck are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay in your room?" Madam Felicia yelled at him almost immediately."I- I- I- I w- wanted t- to- re-- report- -" James didn't finish his statement when she sighed and pushed him away."Don't approach me if you keep stuttering like a fro
"Come in." She led Natalie into the spacious, newly purchased apartment, a sanctuary away from the chaos they had left behind. Natalie gazed around, overwhelmed with gratitude for Melanie's unwavering support."I can't thank you enough, Miss. Melanie," Natalie said, her voice filled with genuine appreciation."This place is incredible, and I'm forever indebted to you," Natalie added in excitement.Melanie smiled warmly, a glimmer of satisfaction in her eyes. "You don't owe me anything, Natalie. We're in this together, and I'll protect you till the end." She said with a smile on her face and Natalie nodded, feeling a renewed sense of purpose.It was time to confront the truth and seek justice for both herself and Jamal. Natalie took a deep breath, gathering her courage."Miss. Melanie, there's something you need to know," Natalie began, her voice steady."Oh?" She knew what Natalie wanted to say and would have asked first but pretended to be clueless."The poison used on Mr. Jamal to k
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
They finished packaging everything in the car.“ Can I talk to you for a while?” Paula asked, as she flipped her hair to her back. “ Sure,” Melanie answered. They walked inside the house. “ I wanted to properly apologize to you about what happened between Jamal and me, I know you still resent me but I am here now to say I am sorry for the pain I caused you and your family”Melanie was not expecting that to come out in that manner. They had stayed quiet while packaging the things they needed for vacation. No words or laughter were exchanged. They minded their business. “ It is fine, apology accepted” She smiled at her, it was genuine. “ Can I get a hug?” Paula askedMelanie pulled her into a hug. “ We are going to go late, ladies,” Jamal shouted from the window. He had been watching them. He wanted to let them be but they were running out of time. They got into the car. He drove them to a resort. He got down and opened the car door for them. “ Such a beautiful place to be in” M
Jamal had to sit close to her to see it. “ I had my suspicions about this,” he said.“ I was on it and this just confirmed it, I will send this to the police” It was a video that contained the things he did to little girls that were brought to him. “ He can't escape this” Mitchell smiled at the laptop in front of her as she forwarded it to the police. “ Hey dude, thanks for this” Mitchell got herself a glass of wine. She was happy because that was the only thing left to find out. She figured that Reuben would be able to get it for her. He had kept that for the last fight against Sam. The flash that Paula had taken just had little of what he was doing. “ Glad I kept that safe,” Reuben smiled broadly. The door opened and Dave walked in. He went to Mitchell and kissed her passionately.“ Didn't see that coming” Reuben was shocked to see them that way. “ Get used to it dude” Dave replied to him.“ Getting a toast? We've worked so hard to save everyone from that disaster” Paula go
When the door opened, Richard was trying to suffocate Dave. He was immediately handed over to the police. He was taken away from the hospital. The doctors had to urgently attend to Dave and make sure he was okay. They all went back to their houses. Paula could not afford to stay alone so she joined Mitchell at her place. After a while, Reuben came by. “ What was that about? The thing between you and Melanie” Mitchell asked Paula. “ Melanie and Dave had something in the past. We are just here because Sam took my daughter, and I knew how dangerous it was that my daughter was with him” “ Excuse me, you have a daughter?” Mitchell's mouth dropped open, she had never seen her or heard her talk about her daughter.“ Yes, my daughter, Jamal's daughter, Rose. Rose is my daughter, I was not ready to handle a baby so I left her at the playing ground, luckily for me, Jamal and Melanie took her” Mitchell was surprised to hear that. She wondered how Paula must have felt seeing her daughter a
She got downstairs and could not see Paula. She looked around the place. “ Where is she?” She asked Sam who stood there looking shocked as well. “ She was right here when I left this place” Michelle was not having any of it. She charged at him. “ Where did you keep her?” “ This was all planned by the both of you, you saying you wanted to pee, and then I left her here, you two planned this” He left Mitchell there and went upstairs. Mitchell ran to the door that the maid had pointed. She got to the door and saw that it was locked. She tried to hit it open but it was not working. ” Who is there?” Mitchell heard a faint voice coming from the room. She leaned in on it. “ Anyone there?” She asked. “ Mitchell” That was Reuben calling faintly. He had woken up and could not recognize where he was. He tried to stand up but could not do so. He was weak.He crawled to the door and tried to open it but it would not open. He struggled with the door but could not open it. He stayed ther
Reuben got to the address and quickly sent it to Mitchell. He walked closer to it. It was a massive building. “ How possible!” He exclaimed as he saw the house. He walked into it. Sam Anderson went to the door to get him. He had seen Reuben outside. He got there and opened the door for Reuben. Reuben walked in and could not believe how well-decorated the house was. “ You own this?” He asked “ No, I do not,” he answered as he sat down.Richard was upstairs looking at them. Sam raised his face and looked up. Richard nodded at him. He was still talking with Reuben when the maid brought a drink. “ You should have this,” he said to him.Reuben took it from the maid and drank it. He continued to talk with Sam till he began to feel dizzy. He stood up. “ Where can I get some rest, I am so tired,” he said to Sam. “ Take him to the room,” he said to the maid. Richard came downstairs when Reuben had been taken to the room. “ He will be there for a long time,” Sam said to Richard. I
She quickly told Dave about the man that had met her at the pack. It sounded surprising to him at first but was no longer funny when he remembered that someone was following Mitchell as well. “ Maybe it is just some coincidence,” he told Paula. Paula was not satisfied with it. She went to her bag and brought out the card he had given her. She called him up. When Richard saw her call, he smiled. “ Such an easy catch,” he said as he picked it up and answered. She wanted him to meet her up in a place, that same place. He teased her about missing him already. He got dressed and drove out of the house. He got to the place and saw that she had already gotten there, and even had a drink on the table. He walked to her. “ Wanna give me a hug?” He spread his hands at her. “ Not today” She waved at him to sit down. He had a disappointed look on his face. “ So you missed me?” He ordered his drinks as well. “ You wish, far from that” She took a sip. “ Did you follow me home t
He smiled as he sent the last apology message to her. He had been pleading with her to forgive him. He sent flowers and gifts as well. He stayed on his bed, looking at his phone and waiting for a reply from her. It came, she had forgiven him. He immediately asked her to fix a place for them to meet. He told her how badly he wanted to see her. She accepted and sent him a location. She stood in front of the mirror as she dressed. “ You look great,” Dave said to her as she stepped out of her bedroom. “ Thank you” “ Why did you put so much effort into looking this good, going on a date?” He had fear in his heart that she was going to see a lover. “ Is that so? I do not want to appear like that, I will go change” She rushed into the room and had to change the way she styled her hair and had to also change her clothes. She came out in front of Dave. “ Is this okay?” She asked him. “ Yes, where to go?” “ To see someone” was all she said before she left the house. She entered her
He had everything set. He looked so flashy and smelt of wealth. He smells good as well. He got into his car and drove to the expensive restaurant that was in town. He parked his car and got out. The ladies there blushed as they flashed his smiles. He waved at one of the girls, she could not believe that he was waving at her. She smiled broadly as she held her chest. He walked into the restaurant. He looked so good, his hair and the way his lips looked, soft and inviting. He entered and the attention he got was beautiful. He looked around like he was searching for someone. He walked to a table and pulled the chair. “ I wish I was the one he sat with,” one of the ladies at the opposite table said, she was loud enough to be heard. He kept his hands on the table, with his fingers making a tapping sound on the table.Mitchell raised her face and looked at him. He smiled at her. “ Thought you would never look at me or notice that I have been sitting down here” he smiled again. Mitch
He drove back to the house feeling down and dejected. He could not explain why everything was beginning to turn against him. He got home and noticed that the domestic staff were not there. He called out to them but did not hear anyone answer. He went around his house and saw that no one was around. He called the security man at his gate and asked where his domestic staff had all gone. “ When I asked them, they answered that you asked them to leave, I had to let them go” He was angry, he slapped the gatekeeper. He went back inside the house and had to go to their rooms. He got there and saw that their belongings were no longer there.“ I never gave any order,” he screamed. He went inside and for the first time in a long while, he entered into his kitchen to get a drink. He sat down, he was scared to open his phone, he was also scared to turn on the television as well. The door opened and Reuben walked in. He saw the bottle of drink with Sam, he rushed to Sam and took the drink a
