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.

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 curves were carved out of her tight white dress, exposing her unimaginable beauty. 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. Staring at him, she shot daggers from her eyes, her gaze filled with

Jake woke up and the sparkling white ceiling was the first thing he saw. It was a beautiful Monday morning. He darted his eyes around the room in confusion, and just in time, the door went wide open. A lady in her early 20s walked in. She was wearing a green robe.“Oh my goodness! Mr. Jake, you're awake. I'm gonna call the doctor immediately," she announced happily, but Jake stopped her before she could move out.“Hold on. Where am I? How did I get here?" He asked, and she furrowed her brow.“You're in the hospital, sir. You don't remember anything? You were brought in half-dead. You've been in a coma ever since, but your wounds are healed.” Jake raised his brow and cast a confusing gaze around the room."I remember that too well, but… hold on, how long have I been in a coma?" He asked with curiosity. "3 months sir,” the nurse responded, and Jake jumped off the bed."What?" He exclaimed.“I've been in a coma for 3 whole months? What the fuck! I need to get out of here right away,"
