Ben was taken into a car and dropped exactly at the same spot where he was abducted. "It's best you do what you have been told." Drip said to him and kicked him in his mid section while Ben was lying face down on the ground.He heard them giggle as they drove off. He was there for about five minutes before he began to get up himself.He sat down like a monk and looked up at the sun that was smiling down on him. "What a morning." He managed to say with the mouth that was swollen and bloody."Please excuse me." He said to lady that was about to walk past him. The lady stooped and gave him a total look over but she did not walk off fortunately."What is it by the time?" He asked the lady. The lady obliged him by telling him the time. "It's mid-day." She said and walked off but she kept glancing back at him until she was nowhere in sight."What a way to begin the day. It's way past morning time." Ben said and struggled to get up on his feet.He did not know where to go. He contemplated
It's been two days since Ben was abducted. Tomorrow was the beginning of the trial regarding the accusation that was labeled against him.He had moved on from that because he looked energetic and focused. The injury on his nose had healed although there was a scar on the lower part of his lips whixh would heal up would in some few days time.He was at home because his boss, Mr. Andrew gave him two days off. Ben had undergone some growing up in the short time that he had been in the United States.He knew that he still had a long way to go as regards looking for his father but he wanted to build a life for himself and have a foot hold on the country and then he would properly look for his father.He was reading some files given to him by his lawyer and he was going through them when he heard the opening of the door and the sound of it closing almost immediately it was opened.He suddenly got up to his feet as if he was preparing for an intruder who was coming into the house to hurt h
Ben was able to see the on-coming vehicle and escape it by running across the road very fast. The car sped away and did stop.Ben got up and he was breathing very fast. He just went through a death and life situation where he could have died from a careless and reckless driver.The reports came across to him and swamped him like bees on honey.Mics were pointed at him. Cameras focused on him to explain how he escaped the near death experience."Please let him be. He has nothing to say at this time." Mr. Murdoch came out of the court and whisked him away from the army of reporters."Where have you been? I have been waiting for you for about half an hour." Murdoch spoke to him in a less harsh but assertive way."I am sorry." Ben said. Ben was still shaken by what almost happened to him some moments ago. "What has gotten you shaken up?" Murdoch asked him feeling concerned for him.Today was the day that the battle to get out of this quagmire started and he needed Ben to be up to it. He
"Do you know my client?" Murdoch asked him. "I don't know him but I have seen him before." Drip said. "Apologies Mr. Drip. Let me rephrase that question again. Have you seen my client before now?" "Yes! At the hotel where he works." Drip said."Be specific with the hotel please." Murdoch said. "Mandarin Oriental Hotel." Drip said."So what were you doing there at the hotel?" Murdoch asked. "I went there to see Mellisa." Drip said. "So did you happen to see her on that day of the incident?" Murdoch asked."When I called her phone, she sounded like she was in trouble. So I asked her to direct me to where she was." Drip said. "So what happened next when you found her." Murdoch asked."She was disheveled because of what had happened to her." Drip said. Murdoch now brought out the video where Melissa was shown to have been raped by Ben."Your honor, allow me to play the video that shows that my client was raping Meliisa, according to the prosecuting council. This was the evidence provided
Mellisa got up from bed and headed downstairs. She looked at the time and it was 12 midnight.On the staircase she had to stop as though she was trying to recollect where she was going to.Suddenly she continued her descent down stairs until she got down to the sitting room which was expensively an extravagantly furnished.She went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, when she saw someone pass by her in the shadows.She switched on the light as it was the moonlight sweping through the window that she used to find her way around the kitchen.On switching the light, there was no one there. After getting the water and consuming it she put off the light and she was on her way up stairs when she saw a silhouette of a figure blocking her path."Who are you and what do you want?" The figure just stared at her. She halted and did not move.Suddenly, the figure began to move down the stairs towards her. She did not show any fear but when the figure was about four steps away from her she ran
As Jackson ran to take cover expecting the whole place to go off in smokes, he was surprised that nothing happened.He now went closer to check and he saw that the masked man had not removed the pin.Throughout all of this, Jackson wondered why the man standing watch at the door did not come in to help his comrades.It was when Joe came in that he understood what had happened. Joe had neutralized the threat. "So your suspicion was right about the James guy." Joe said. He looked around as if looking for someone. "Where is your woman?" Jackson cast him an angered look. "Oh! Apologies. I meant to say, your Shelly. Where is your Shelly?" Joe said and a mischievous smile played on his lips."She should be somewhere hiding." He said and as he said it, she appeared. "How are you?" He asked her. "I am fine. So what happened here and where is James?" She asked in one breath. He should be somewherei hidng." Then on cue James came out and Jackson went straight to him and held him against the
Gerard was on his laptop reading an email he got from the same person who sent him an email about Casey not being his biological daughter.He was not longer shocked about it because he now knew that this was no longer rumour nor a lie.His wife, Rose did not totally deny it nor did she admit to it. But the fact remains that this person knows or has facts about who Casey's real father is."If you want to know more, please come to this address. I can not show myself right now because Rose is after my life." The email read.Gerard was a bit taken aback by the email especially the part that had to do with Rose trying to kill the sender of the email. Gerard do not know anyone who was a friend to his wife. Of course he was always hardly ever around so it would be hard to know the people that his wife kept company with.After writing down the address he decided on going to see this mysterious woman the next day but he wanted to bring up the subject to Rose again to see if she was finally g
Unknown to Rose someone was watching her. She was in James ward. Looking at him. She even touched his hands.The truth was, James made Rose feel like a woman. He made Rose feel wanted and desired.Gerard had never loved her. She realized that now. She wished that was not the case. It was the neglect that made her fall into the arms of James, his friend. Rose would not want Gerard to find out because if he found out, he would have the power to divorce her and she would stand to lose a lot.Looking back at it all, their marriage was an arranged one even though she willingly agreed to it because she instantly fell in love with Gerard at first sight.She knew James would do his best not to divorce her so that it doesn't go public.Especially the fact that Gerard was not the biological father of Casey. It would hurt Gerard but it would destroy her.Gerard knew what he did when he threw it at her as regards her seeking for a divorce. She knew that Gerard would have the edge if she went thr
