James was done with his work and was heading to the hospital where Ellen was now alone. Lana had also had to go at some point.
He was stepping in when he accidentally bumped against someone because he was on his phone.
“I’m sorry I didn't mean to do that, I wasn’t looking.” James said.
“It’s okay, I wasn’t either.” she said.
He looked up and realized that it was the girl who harassed Jaxon earlier on.
“Hey, it’s you from earlier. Look I just want to say I am sorry for how things happened with you.” he said.
She just gave a weak smile, why are you the one saying sorry?” she asked.
“I don’t know, it’s just I think guys, men should be more responsible and on any occasion I see one not behaving that way, I get ashamed of being a man myself.”
The next morning, Lana walked into Ellen's hospital room with a bunch of flowers in her hands.James was already there, he has been there since yesterday after bumping on Paula.He was afraid that something may go wrong and so had decided to stay by her side all through yesterday.“Good morning El, here this is for you.” Lana said, handing Ellen a bunch of flowers.“Oh Lana, thank you. But I wasn’t expecting you here, James told me you had this meeting to prepare for and that it’s by ten o’clock, it’s just five minutes to an hour.” Ellen said.“Yeah that’s right, I did have a meeting but it’s been moved so I just thought I’d run here come see you off, you are getting discharged after all.” Lana explained.“But you are ready for the meeting, yeah? I could always handle everything on my own.” James said.“It’s fine. I said it. I am beginning to think that you two would rather not have me here.” Lana said.“Oh don’t even start with your teasing.” Ellen said.“Come on, what are you even t
“So, what do you all want me to do?” Paula asked when they had all sat and she had offered them a drink of water, she didn’t have much in the house. ‘I briefly explained it to you, and I want you to understand what you are doing and that there would definitely be opposition and you would probably take some risks and this set of people wouldn’t stop at anything to stop you or make you suffer.” James explained. She looked at each of their faces for a while before she answered, “Yes, I understand and I have decided to go along with you guys and besides I feel protected with you three. And if anything were to happen to me, that would be at least more evidence to prove that Jaxon is as vile as anything from the pit of hell.” Paula said, gritting her teeth at the last words. “Think well about this Paula, you sound like you are making this decision just from your emotions, you have to be clear headed, I mean if you don’t want to speak out we would still be glad to help you. Just breathe, a
Meanwhile, at the same time in the Sterling mansion. Jaxon and his dad were having a troubled conversation.“I saw him with my own eyes, that bastard. He is going to help her.” Jaxon was fuming.“Saw him where and with who?” Thomas Sterling, Jaxon’s father asked him.“With Paula, at her house.” Jaxon answered, pacing to and fro in the room.It looks like he was going to punch the wall or break a vase.“You fool! You went there, I asked you to lay low. Do you know the implication of what you’ve done?!” Mr. Sterling screamed.“What? I didn’t do anything…” Jaxon trailed off.“You did do something and the earlier you tell me about it, the better for us all and for you most of all.” Mr. Sterling said.“Well I hit her, but that wouldn’t create more problems would it?” Jaxon asked.“Would it? Why don’t you tell me? You have once already been accused of assault and you hit her again? Are you really thinking with your brains or with your lower half? What problem would it cause you to ask me? T
"Sir, I do not think there is anyone here. We looked around and it seemed like someone had packed a bag. Whoever you hoped to find, they left before we showed up.” a man said to Jaxon.“The damned witch! I’ll make sure I find her and torture her slowly, maybe take her all over again. My dad is in that condition because of her.” He said and upended a table.“So what do we do now?” The man asked him.“Trash it. Whoever left shouldn’t return to a house, at least not in one piece. But first I have something to do.” Jaxon said and made his way to the bedroom.He had had a lot of girls before, willingly and by force and most of them had been grateful and those who didn’t feel that way were only too scared to speak out. He couldn’t bear the thought that this one not only spoke up but was also trying to destroy him.All of this got to him in different ways and he was suddenly excited. He went into the room, locked the door behind him and pulled down his pants.“Sir, can we go ahead now?” the
Barry and his team had already arrived and began to set up for the interview.James had everything under control. With the help of Eric, he was able to restore Augustine's position as a janitor and make him do James shift while James has been taking care of things.He's still yet to reveal himself to the world and only acts as a puppet to Lana. Atleast that's what people think. Even Alisha.“Hey Barry, are we ready?” “Yes James, we are ready but I have a question.” Barry answered.“Yes, what is it?”“I suggest we go live with the interview, there is just no time for us to record it first and then release it.”“So as the interview goes on, everyone can watch it and no time whatsoever would be lost. That is a good idea, let’s roll.” James said.“Paula, you ready? Cameras are going to roll soon.” James asked.“Yes, I am. Let’s do this.”“1,2,3…we’re on.”“Good afternoon everyone, this is Newsweek and I am your host for today, Barry Ortiz and with me here is Paula Raven. It’s good to hav
“I just want to say thank you to everyone for listening to my story and I know there are other girls out there with similar stories but too scared to speak out like I did, I hope the courage to tell my story gives them strength to tell theirs too but most importantly I hope they find good people like I did ready to help them.” Paula concluded.“Thank you so much Paula, I’m sure you are a lot of inspiration to other girls and women out there and thanks once again for being here. And that is it for today, thank you very much, this is Newsweek and I remain your host, Barry Ortiz.” And with that, the interview came to an end and cameras stopped rolling, Paula was free to go back to James, Ellen and Lana.“Thank you so much Paula.” James said and Lana and Ellen took turns to hug her.“No, thank you guys. I couldn’t have done this without you.” she said and they all smiled at her, Lana patted her hair.“I’ll talk to Barry.” James said and strode off to where Barry was arranging stuffs.“Hey
Not for long, Someone caught Jaxon and he was tackled to the ground.“You are under arrest Mr. Jaxon for…” a policeman started.“Wait!” James interrupted.“What do we do for you?”“Paula here would like to say something before you proceed.” James said.“Okay then, she can go ahead.” the policeman said and Paula stepped forward with Lana and Ellen.“You, what more do you want?” Jaxon asked. He looked broken.“True, your face is the last I want to see and I don’t really care what happens to you and so I do not have a lot to say to you right now. You hurt me and up until now you destroyed my life or so I thought. But I found good people and everything and it’s going to be good for me. I just want to let you know that you don’t really hurt me anymore and I forgive you. I have decided to drop the charges. You are free Jaxon.” Paula said and there were tears in her eyes. That must have been a hard decision for her to make.“Wha…What?” Jaxon stammered.“Yes, you are free.” she turned around
“James, El, Paula!” Lana called from outside the door. They were all in Lana’s office, waiting for Lana and then they would all go and have lunch together.“What is it, Lana? You are bursting.” Ellen commented.“Well I should, I’ve got good news.” she said.“Spill then.” James said and Paula just chuckled.“I spoke with that and Mr. Price was there with him. Firstly, he would be leaving tomorrow and so we need to either get you in seat or bring Mr. Wood back and secondly he would not invest in the movie…” she was saying and Ellen cut in.“That is your good news?” Paula looked scared and Ellen looked so confused Lana began to laugh.“No no, I’m not done.” she said between laughter. “Well out with it!” Ellen commanded.“Mr. Price would not invest in the movie ONLY but he is also sponsoring Paula as an actress in Hand of God! She is to fly tomorrow evening after him!” She screamed the last part.Ellen hugged Paula, Lana came in to join and three of them squealed excitedly like a group o
