Jane picked up her phone and quickly dialee her father's number. The phone kept ringing but he was not picking up.She couldn't understand the reason why he removed her from the will, and to think that she was his own daughter was even more crazy."Did he find out what I did?" Jane asked herself. So many questions filed her mind as she dialed the number again. And this time, her father picked up the phone"Jane?" He grumbled on the other side of the phone."Father! I just received a notification that I have been removed from your will. What is the meaning of this?" She yelled at him while pacing around the room."I should be asking you that question, Jane. What did you do?" He asked her. Jane's heart skipped a beat while she realized what he was talking about."I don't know what you're talking about," she lied. Her father chuckled over the phone."You sold me out to Jaxson, didn't you? You told that brat where to find me," he said to her and she gasped."What? No, I did not! Father, w
"Alright people, wrap it up. Let's go!" Scott yelled orders at his goon immediately after he dropped the call with Jaxson. He was glad that he could finally repay the debt he owed Jaxson. Years back, when Jaxson was still trying to make ends meet, he worked as a bouncer in Scott's club.One night, there was an attack and Jaxson saved Scott's life. And Scott promised Jaxson that he would repay him back someday. And that day had come."Boss, there's someone here to see you," someone said to Scott and he frowned."Who the fuck is it?" He groaned. He didn't like disturbances."I think it's a cop," the informant said to Scott and his eyes lit up."A cop? What is he doing here? We settle the police weekly. They have no business with us," he blurted out but the informant shrugged his shoulders"Send him in," he added. The informant left the room and soon returned with Detective Parker. Scott faked a smile. He was not pleased."Officer. This is a surprise. I don't believe we still have busi
Detective Parker opened the door that led to Vance's detection room and glared at the older man while Vance had a poker face. He settled some papers on the desk and took his seat opposite Vance who just watched him closely."So, Vance Newbold. You've been on the run from Jaxson Green. Have you not?" He asked Vance who crossed his arms."Why have you arrested me? You have no proof that I did anything wrong," Vance replied to Detective Parker. Parker Chuckled and sighed."You know what, Vance? Rich people like you believe they are untouchable. You think the world revolves around you, that you can get away with anything. Well, I am here to inform you that it doesn't work that way. Besides, I might be your best chance at getting out of here unscathed," Bruce added.Vance arched his brow while he listened to what Bruce was saying. It made him curious."How do you mean?" Vance asked."Jaxson almost killed you had I not intervened. Do you think he'll stop now? He won't. He will just try aga
Jaxson's phone rang while he revised a contract deal that had been sent to him. The details of the contract were somehow shady, but Jaxson wanted to ensure he didn't leave any stone unturned.He picked up the phone and it was a strange number. Jaxson frowned as he picked up the call."Mr Green. Or should I say, Mr Brown?" Detective Parker said from the other side of the phone and Jaxson smiled. The Detective was getting on his nerves."Detective Parker, why did you call?" He asked Parker."I called to let you know that I figured it out. I must say, Mr Brown, you did an excellent job hiding your real identity. I'm certain it was for a purpose. Isn't that why we all do what we do?" "What do you want? I know you didn't just give me a call to say this." Jaxson asked. He was setting a trap for the Detective but Parker didn't know. He chuckled with amusement and then sighed. Jaxson started recording the call."I want you to pay m off to keep your secret. I don't know why you hide your iden
Detective Parker drove back to the station, wondering why his boss has requested to see him in such a notice. He was especially worried about the suddenly revelation that Jaxson had made to the public.What game was he trying to play? Detective Parker wondered. With Jaxson's revelation, Parker couldn't extort money from him. He had become immune.As soon as detective Parker stepped into the station, all eyes fell on him. He suddenly became self aware as he walked past the cops glaring at him with their scrutinizing eyes. The thing about cops was that they had a way of breaking a person with their glares alone and Parker knew all too well."Hey, what's going on? Why is everyone looking at me like I just returned from space?" He asked a rookie who looked around with caution before he replied. Parker could see the hesitation in the rookie's face.He didn't want to talk to him. "Look, sir, I don't want any trouble. Just leave me alone," the rookie replied and tried to walk away but Park
"Jaxson Brown. Why have you called? Have you called me to float because let me tell you, you're late!" Parker snapped at Jaxson who just chuckled. "Detective. I called to extend my sympathy. Your career is over as we speak," Jaxson said to him."And whose fault is that? Huh? You leaked everything. How did you even do it? How did you get your hands on those information? I don't understand it," he said to Jaxson who Chuckled again. The winds of change had blown, and Jaxson had won."I'll advise you, Parker, to change your ways. You may think that you are discreet but I assure you there are people out there who are even more curious. Change your ways so that you will not find yourself in prison," Jaxson said to him. Parker frowned."What do you mean?" He asked. "What else do you know?" He asked Jaxson. Jaxson sighed."Isn't it obvious? I left out details of that particular murder that you committed. Didn't you observe it, Parker? That it wasn't mentioned at all?" Jaxson asked and Parke
Jane sauntered into the police station, her designer heels clicking on the worn linoleum. She flashed a saccharine smile at the officer behind the desk, her eyes gleaming with malice.What Parker just told her still made her uneasy, and the shock had not worn off her. But she had another plan to safeguard herself.It doesn't matter whether Jaxson was engaged or not. She had to get him back, and she was confident that he would.Jane smiled again. Men were tools for her to play with. Plus, she had already dated Jaxson in the past. It wouldn't be hard to get him to submit to her."Visiting my father, Vance," she cooed, handing over her ID.The officer nodded, unaware of the venom lurking beneath Jane's polished exterior.As she entered the cell, Vance looked up from his cot, his eyes weary from days of detention. "Jane, what brings you here?"Jane's smile twisted. "Just thought I'd drop by and share some...enlightening news, Father dear."Vance's instincts prickled. He could see the deme
The soft glow of candlelight danced across the crystal chandeliers, casting a warm ambiance over the elegant dining room. Jaxson Green sat across from his stunning fiancée, Semira, at the city's most exclusive restaurant, Le Coeur.Their table, nestled near the floor-to-ceiling windows, offered a breathtaking view of the city skyline. The maître d' poured champagne, and Jaxson raised his glass in a silent toast.Semira's eyes sparkled as she sipped her drink. "To our future, my love."Jaxson's smile was genuine. "To forever with you."Their dinner arrived, and the aroma of roasted duck and sautéed vegetables wafted through the air. Semira closed her eyes, savoring the flavors."Mmm, this is heavenly," she whispered.Jaxson chuckled. "Only the best for my princess."As they dined, their conversation turned to their upcoming wedding."Have you finalized the guest list?" Semira asked, her brow furrowed."Almost," Jaxson replied. "I've decided to invite a few business associates, but I wa
