One True Heir Chapter 115
After Jake left the cell where his Family was kept, he went back to the reception and sat silently on a bench. There was this urge to break down and cry uncontrollably. He had suffered from those he regarded as family including Claire.Everything felt like a dream to him and he wanted to wake up to the time his Mother was still alive, probably when he was still young, he could have cajoled his mom into running, but his mother was an orphan, they had no family. Jake bowed his head and placed his hands at the sides of his cheek to support his head. Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching and he raised his head slowly to look at the person. It was none other than Claire. The anger in him rose as he glared at her coldly, he couldn't believe he had anything to do with Claire. Likewise, he didn't believe she was capable of doing such a thing to him. “Jake…I..” Claire started.“Don't you dare mention my name again,” Jake warned and Claire gulped nothing down her throat. Claire moved clo

THREE MONTHS LATER…Everyone gathered in the courthouse, to hear the most influential people in the country get punished, the media hovered around the premises of the courtroom to await the judge's order before creating Their own story. It was a thing of shock when the people realized the masterminds behind everything and they couldn't help but feel bad for pointing accusing fingers at Jake and equally dragging his name to the Mud. Those online trolls deleted their accounts and went to hide in order not to face the wrath of the people. Jake had just arrived at the courthouse, looking more handsome, polished, and smart. It may seem as though Jake had gotten over what they did to him and had moved on. Everyone was happy to see him and prayed he lived longer to enjoy all he had labored for.Mike, who has become Jake's best friend, also arrived and entered the courtroom. He was quite surprised at the number of people gathered to hear the final judgment which was to be passed on by the j

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

“Excuse me, sir, you can't be here. You should either go inside or leave this place at once," a security bouncer said to Jake, as he hid behind the transparent glass, staring at Georgina.She was having a good time with a young man in his early 30s. The handsome stranger appeared rich and powerful in his black tuxedo suit. He was Maron, the director of C&C Global Company Ltd. Jake clenched his fist, watching as she laughed heartily at whatever Maron was whispering to her. 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. When she confided in her mother, Rebecca had advised her to accept the proposal and divorce Jake who had always been there for her. “Sir?” the guard tapped Jake on the shoulder, and Jake sighed. To avoid causing a scene, Jake gave in and returned to the entrance. With a grin on his face, he walked into the hotel but his whole smile disappeared as his eyes fel

As Jake walked down the lonely road, his mind drifted back to the day he first met Georgina. After the demise of his mother, he relocated to Burutan to begin a new life far from his family. 2 weeks after he arrived in the city, he ran into a pretty college girl sobbing by the bridge. He approached her and she told him about the financial crisis in her family that was about to hinder her education. Jake fell in love with her instantly. He was 3 years older than her and had just graduated from college before he left home. With the money he had saved while at home, Jake promised to send her to school. He sponsored her education and her family's financial crisis, thereby abandoning his initial plan of setting up a workshop for himself. A few years after her graduation, they got married and became one of the youngest couples in Burutan. How could he have known that a day like this would come? A day when Georgina would forget all the sacrifices he had made and move on with a rich fel

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,"

Mr. Robinson Osborne was sitting in his penthouse, inside his lucrative compound when he heard footsteps approaching from behind.“If you're not here with news of my son then get out," he roared without looking.“Sir, I came to inform you that Usman is bringing the young master as we speak. They're close, I'm sure they'll be here soon," the guard said from behind. There was a loud car horn from the main gate.Robinson Osborne jumped to his feet with a huge anticipation on his face. “It seems like they're here, sir." The guard announced, and Robinson Osborne ran out of the house to welcome Jake. Outside the compound, Jake darted his eyes in amazement as a shred of unshed tears hung in his eyes. “Home sweet home," he muttered, fighting back his tears.The gate went wide open, and they drove into the large compound. Jake widened his eyes with his mouth open agape as he admired the beauty of the compound.Everythi

It had been two weeks since Jake took over his father's businesses, and he had won the hearts of many already. Earlier today, he had left for Burutan to complete his divorce process in court. Outside the courtroom, Jake stood next to a car with a sunglass in his eyes when he saw Maron walking towards him. “Not again," he muttered and turned to walk away, but he bumped into Georgina.“Hey, watch your steps," he yelled. “What is it? You have the divorce, right? What else do you want? Shouldn't you be planning on your new marriage with that asshole behind me?" Georgina swallowed hard and sucked her lower lips. “Listen Jake. I just want to know why you beat up my Mom before leaving the house that day. That wasn't cool, and my Mom has refused to let that slide.”Jake raised his brow. “Seriously?” He asked in surprise. “First of all, I didn't beat your Mom. Yes, I slapped your Mom because she broke my mother's gift. But what do you intend to do anyway? How do you intend to punish me f

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. I will be back in five minutes.” Jenny announced and she rushed to make tea for her husband. A few minutes later, she came back with a tray containing a kettle and tea cups.

It's been a day since Strausser was captured and put in the cell. Jake had warned the police not to relay anything to the media until Strausser's questioning. He didn't want the remaining culprit to run away. He was tired of playing hide and seek.Very early that morning, Jake prepared himself and went to the police station. 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

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

Claire held the phone tightly in fear, fingers crossed hoping Jake hadn't found out about her involvement in everything.“I can't believe you'd do such a thing,” Jake spoke again and Claire gulped in fear.“Wh… what have I done?” Claire stuttered“You are still asking what you did? What did you do?” Jake asked and her breathing changed to a heavy one.“I don't know what I have done,” Claire stated“You went to see the doctor without me Again. Why do I have to find out through the doctor!” Jake yelled and Claire heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness that wasn't what Jake wanted to say. She almost lost it at that moment.“I'm sorry babes, It wasn't time for my check-up but I had to go and explain some symptoms I was having. She prescribed some drugs which were supposed to be delivered today.” Claire explained.“It's the same drug the doctor called me to pick up, why didn't you tell me about your symptoms? Aren't I part of the responsibility?” Jake asked in disappointment.“You're part
