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
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
“You thief!” A sharp female voice filled with anger yelled, he stopped at a spot unable to take another step. He faced back, looking scared and confused. It was Audrey, his college mate.“What do you mean?” He questioned rhetorically, then he followed the lady’s eyes until it landed on the phone in his hand.“No. I think it’s a misunderstanding, madam. I was cleaning here and found this phone - -” His statement was left incomplete as she hastily interrupted him.“That’s my phone in your hand! How come it’s with you if you haven't stolen it?” She questioned in annoyance, impatiently drawing to a conclusion. He shook his head.“It’s not what you think. I saw the phone on the floor and wanted to hand it over to the director. I didn’t steal it.” He explained to her rashly but she let out a dirty laugh.“Don’t lie to me, you thief! Do you think I will believe you?” She snarled with a loud voice. They are not on good terms after Jamal has refused to help her with a course assignment. She ha
He sighed at the sight of his account balance and wanted to turn off his phone when the alarm started ringing displaying “Girlfriend’s birthday.” A happy smile engulfed his face and he quickly changed his outfit, picked up his dollar bills, and left his apartment.All eyes were on him as he strolled in the bustling street.“Isn’t it that clown? He still had the guts to step out.” One said “Latest poor thief.” Another screamed. They couldn’t stop laughing at him, insulting and mocking him but he ignored them. He looked from one mart to another searching for the one that matched his girlfriend’s taste. He was wearing a pair of jeans that had changed its color to off-white because of too much washing and his polo had some torn spots and was saggy on his neck.He walked into a shopping mall in the area, looking confident and excited meanwhile he had just $150 on him. The director and his wife were the ones running the business thus when they saw him, they exchanged knowing glares before
“Get him! Get him!” A thin feminine voice shouted in the street as two men quickly grabbed Jamal’s arms.He struggled to set himself free, looking perplexed.“What’s this? Let me go!” He rebuked but the men overpowered him.The woman walked over to them and crossed her arms, standing gallantly before them.“It’s you again? The rumor of theft has been spreading since morning but I never knew you would have the mind to do it again.” The woman pointed a finger at him, speaking arrogantly as crowds started gathering.“Madam, I don’t know what you are talking about.” He was already tired and hopeless coming back from Mia’s place. He was heading back home to drown in his sorrow since that was his birthright before crossing paths with these people.“What do you mean you don’t know what I’m talking about!” The woman cried out in anguish, he looked scared.Shortly, the men searched him and brought out a silver wristwatch from his pocket, Jamal shook his head continuously as he tried to step ba
Jamal cleaned his eyes over and over again, pinching himself as he consciously denied the reality. He was in a grand expensive mansion. What was happening? Who were they and what was he doing here?Rather than admiring the interior breakthrough, he was bothered, and eaten by anxiety."Old master would love to see you now." The middle-aged man's voice unintentionally disrupted his reverie, he swallowed hard on nothing before following the man through the hallway."Please, who are you? And where is this place?" The hallway seemed endless and he couldn't endure his curiosity. "Maybe you shouldn't answer that but, why am I here?" He asked seriously with anxiety lancing in his sharp eyes."Your questions will soon be answered, please be patient." The middle-aged man said and suddenly paused beside a door. It was the only door in the hallway they were in."Old master is at the brink of death, please don't make him worry or ask too many questions." The man warned him politely before the door
Even before the fat receptionist came to wake him, Jamal had already left the motel room. He arrived at the bank so early that even the bank wasn’t fully open to accept customers.“Good morning, Miss.” He greeted the female banker at the counter but she ignored him, concentrating more on the handsome-looking man that was behind him. The same thing happened with the next cashier lady, he was harshly treated until he decided to check back in the customer care service desk.There was no queue other than customers having their account officers manage their cases, so he decided to try his luck with one of the customer care ladies.“Good morning Miss.” He greeted politely. The lady gave him a long look before sighing and narrowing her eyes back to her keyboard.“What was that for?” He thought inwardly, clenching his fist in anger. He tried to control himself since it was something he was used to.“Miss, please can you attend to me? I have been standing here since God knows when.” He cried o
Jamal has never been proud, excited, and happy in his entire life until this day. He had money. He was a rich heir. Everything was under his control. He started seeing himself in a new light and by the street transparent glass, he admired how handsome he was.His sharp ocean-blue eyes sparkled and his face was smooth and admirable. He had a brown trendsetter hair. It was now he realized how handsome he was. Maybe Mia was right, with money every man is hand-some.He confidently walked into the most expensive mall in the street with gallant strides and walked over to the racks of things that caught his attention. Who would have thought that a time would come when he got to visit it?The attendants were busy with other rich-looking customers and even when some of them saw him, no one agreed to follow him because of how he looked. His outfit was stale, patchily sown, and outdated. He decided to do the shopping himself and make payment.He picked a white can from the rack and smiled.“The e
