Vanessa was kind enough to run him a water heater so he could use it to take his bath since the weather hasn't been considerate lately.Also, she decided to prepare breakfast early too so he could partake before going. There was this unfathomable join on her face that even she too was surprised. But she knew deep down that she was happy that Strausser was finally leaving her house for good. Not only was she happy because he was leaving, she was also happy that Her husband wasn't taking him to the airport. What if he drops him off at the airport and they note him as the wanted criminal accomplice?

She didn't want them to know their Dad wa

Once he got there, he met Detective Paul and Mike waiting for him. “You are just in time for his interrogation. But you'd have to stay in the waiting room while I go in to interrogate him.” Detective Paul spoke and Jake nodded.“I will go with you too. I have some questions to ask concerning Zara's case.” Mike spoke and Detective Paul nodded. He couldn't refuse because Mike was also a detective, but a private detective.“There's this room where you can see and hear everything we speak about. The transparent window is just the barrier. I will lead you there now.” Detective Paul spoke and all of them began walking to the room. Once they got there, Jake met their ch

Firstly, the mirror in her room mysteriously cracked. Then while she was cleaning the kitchen, she broke her husband's favorite mug which had never happened before. Jenny told all these to her husband who shrugged and told her nothing was about to happen. “ Once I catch Strausser, everything will be over. I'd go out very soon. Maybe the feeling you are having is of good luck, I might find a Strausser today.” General Ismael Larryson spoke to his wife who nodded. “It's almost afternoon, should I make tea for you?” Jenny asked and her husband nodded.“Alright.

On a cold winter night, Jake had returned from the little company where he worked. Little drops of sweat broke out on his forehead as he stepped into the house panting hard from exaggeration.“Honey," he called, but there was dead silence in the sitting room. On his left hand was a beautiful red flower he had gotten on his way home. Today marks his 3rd marriage anniversary, and he has returned late already. As he walked towards the sofa, a beautiful young lady walked out from the corner. It was Georgina, his beloved wife. She was the epitome of beauty. Her ebony hair cascaded behind her back like a waterfall of silk. She was tall and endowed with wonderful features.

Her striking blue eyes pierced deep into his eyes, and an ugly frown spread across her features. “Hey baby, I'm back," Jake said with a childish grin on his face.

He couldn't hear them, but he could see them.A Few months ago, Maron had promised to make Georgina the manager of the company if she agreed to be his wife.
