“ Okay then, close your eyes,” Jack said.

Jane obeyed at once and tried to touch the phone screen.

She could do that effortlessly, but because she had her own plans, she intentionally moved her hand away from the screen, as though she was unable to touch the screen.

Jack noticed that Jane was having a hard time locating the screen with her eyes closed.

He held her hand and directed it to the phone screen.

He left it and watched it as she clicked on a picture.

Jane had intentionally acted as though he was unable to touch the phone screen.

Just as she was expecting, a tender and manly hand held hers and directed it to the face of the screen

A smile played on the corners of her mouth, but she forced it back.

She finally touched the screen, and the picture opened.

    A PLAN THAT WORKS“ I think you have a point here” Jane said and heaved a sigh. “ So can i know what happened exactly” Jack askedHe had already parked the car totally and had switched off the engine.Jane finally began speaking about what really transpired between the mayor and her mother“ It all started when my mother went in looking for a job just so she could take care of me. She happened to meet a man who then was the mayor of this city. With her desperation to get a job for herself, she approached the man and spoke to him about helping her get a job.

He was furious about what had gone on at the dining table“ And what do you mean by that question? What is the meaning of what?” Mr Daniel fired back.“ Why would you have to say that in front of my girlfriend? This should be said between me and you” George said with a serious face.“ What difference does it make anyway? It does not make any difference dies it?. You have vowed never to listen to me anyway, right? I Hav

    THE DILEMMA George stood in the middle of the room and watched his father leave.He stood in the middle of the room, contemplating what he was going to do next.Although his father said everything he said out of anger, they all seemed true.He just could not stop thinking about it, as the words kept resonating in his ears.He stood there for a while and placed his hands on his waist.He did not know whether or not to go to his ‘ girlfriend’ or just get her out of the house.On a second thought, he discarded the latter idea and went for the former. After all, he was the one who wanted her to be his girlfriend.He stood there for a while without anything coming into mind until he started moving towards the dining hall.Jack opened the door and entered.His face was down, and he was no longer smiling.He looked at Tracy, who was already sitting at the edge of her seat, waiting to hear what was going on.

Now that you have sent him away, we are in some deep shit” Mr Daniel shouted at him.“ Calm down, Dad. Alfred knows nothing about us. Besides, if he knew, who was he going to tell? Who will even listen to him rant in the first place?” …He remembered the little conversation he had with his father about Alfred, which became incomplete because of the topic of Tracy.He had just realised that what his father had said about him was a bit of a cause of alarm.Although Alfred did not really know much abo

    AFTER THE SENTENCEAfter the audio ended, everywhere in the room went quiet.Jack had a wide smile on his lips.Alfred looked shocked as he gave Jack a deadly stare. He knew he was not in a position to say anything at that point, and whatever he said at that time would not be considered.The judge went on to speak.“ We have heard your piece of evidence counsel, however, I don't think it is going to alter our judgment today looking at the fact the accused have already pleaded guilty to all the accusations levelled against them, and the details of the audio happen to be one of them.However, his property will be confiscated and handed over to the state, who will decide what to do. Now, before we pronounce judgment, does anyone have anything to say?” the judge repeated his earlier question.The whole room went silent for a while until the judge spoke again.“ Okay, after reviewing all the evidence provided, and listening to the accused and their statements, here is the court's ruling Fo

Alfred slowly directed his cuffed hands to the car door.He heaved a heavy sigh, pushed the locker to open the door, and dived out of the car in a split second.Everything happened so fast that he did not have time to think of what to do next.The moment he fell out of the car, he could feel pain in his whole body, and within another split second, he saw a car coming towards him at top speed.Alfred screamed out his lungs loudly in fear as if his shouts were going to stop the car from coming towards “ NOOOOOO” He could hear the car tyres screeching loudly on the road, but it was useless; the car was already close, and he had no time to run.Apparently, when Alfred threw himself out on the road, he sustained serious injuries, but he co

He handed it over to Newman, but to his surprise, Newman did not throw it nor activate it, instead, he buckled it on his belt.“ Guys, we have twenty-five minutes on the clock.” Max's voice came in on the line.“Okay, Roger that” Emry was also heard on the line.Neither Jack nor Newman spoke.Newman turned and whispered at Jack.“ Masks on now. We barge in the room on three.
