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 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
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
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
