Jake and Zara are seen in the restaurant preparing to have dinner together as they earlier planned.They chose to have dinner in an Italian restaurant this time. The waiter comes forward, offers them the menu, and asks if they're ready to order."Umm not yet, you can leave the menu. We'll let you know when we're ready, for now, we'll just have a glass of water each" Zara says first."Instead of the water, bring us your best wine, a glass for both of us, or just bring the bottle" Jake counters while smiling at Zara causing her mouth to hang open."What color sir? Red or white?" The waiter asks Jake."White wine please, thank you," Jake says as the waiter nods before leaving. "Why'd you do that Jake? Why did you ask for wine when we could have just had water and why ask for the whole bottle?" Zara asks Jake, still in shock."I presume you told the waiter to hold with the food because you wanted to say or ask me something and you didn't want to have to share your attention between the f

Jake is in his office, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows opposite his office door, resting even though it is very early in the morning. He seems tired because of the turnout of events at the restaurant where he and Zara alone were supposed to have dinner.He tried calling Zara last night but she didn't pick up and it got him worried. If he was to look at it properly, if he were her he wouldn't pick up either so he just stopped calling her and let her decide to call her the next morning.She was so humiliated yesterday by his brother and Sandra and she took everything without saying a word in her defense.The one thing she asked of him, he couldn't do it for her. She begged him that she didn't want to be involved in any kind of drama at all but the exact opposite happened.He had already tried calling her this morning, it just kept ringing, and she didn't pick up. Maybe she was still mad at him, if she still was, he couldn't blame her.He had already made up his mind to go to the fou

“Could Georgina have been the one who tried to kill Zara? Otherwise, why would she ask after her all of a sudden? I actually thought it was Sandra or Jefferson, I forgot about Georgina and how vile she can be when she wants something.”“I need to talk to Max and find out if he has any leads on Zara's attempted murder. I won't be able to rest easy until all of this is over and Zara is safe and sound, out of danger.”Walking through the hallway on his way to his office absentminded, Jake suddenly stopped at his secretary's desk to ask her a question but she wasn't there which was very unusual for her, she was always at her desk if she wasn't there then maybe she was in his office or downstairs so he decided not to think too much about it.Jake decided to put a call through to Max to ask how Zara was doing since he couldn't go back to the hospital yesterday. Max picked up on the third ring. "Hey Max, how's it going? How is she doing now, any improvements?" Jake asks Max who just sighs d

She said

“What do you mean Sandra?” Jake questioned irritably as he glared at Mike.“I know it's hard to believe, but she was the one who hired those hitmen. I don't know what she had against Zara though.” Mike sighed as he brought out his phone.“I can't believe Sandra would do such a thing,” Jake mumbled in disbelief. Of all people, he never expected Sandra to do this to Zara. From what he knows, Sandra only encountered Zara twice and those times were explanatory since he introduced Zara as his best friend then.“How sure are you about this information?” Jake asked seriously and Mike handed him his phone. “I'm sure. And yeah, she's got an accomplice, they were in cahoot. I was able to tap through her phone and hack her social media account. There's some guy she chats with. His picture is there, have a look.” Mike urged and Jake gulped down nothing as he grabbed the phone from him.As soon as he saw who the man that was in cahoot with Sandra was, his eyes bulged in shock and dismay.” What th

Everyone turned to look at Mr Osborne Robinson and wondered why he stopped the cops from taking Jefferson away. Mrs. Rosalie heaved a sigh as she knew at this point Mr. Osborne wouldn't want to tarnish his reputation further.“But Dad, Jefferson is guilty of everything, he cahooted with this bitch to ruin my wedding!” Jake half yelled and his Father sighed.“Even at that, I wouldn't want Robinson to spend the night in the prison cell. If this matter leaks, don't you know you will get affected? The company and everything you owned would be affected. And nobody would want to partner with us because of our fucked up family!” He spoke the last word in anger as he glared at the embarrassed Jefferson.“Have you seen where your foolishness has gotten you? Because of you, this family is about to lose its reputation. Your scandalous activities to bring your brother down have finally led you.” Mr Osborne Robinson spat out and Jefferson bowed his head low in shame. “Now take a look at you, hand

Georgina didn't know if she was in panic mode or not. She thought she had pushed her just a few steps back, not something that could have landed her on the floor. “Oh, geez what am I supposed to do? This is so much blood!” Georgina panted frantically as she stood up from Agatha's body. She looked around and sighed at the brown Envelope she had seen with her earlier while coming from the hospital. Slowly, she walked towards it with fidgeting hands and grabbed it…Georgina opened the envelope and slowly brought out the paper attached to it. “Oh no!” Georgina exclaimed as she fixed her hands to her mouth, making the paper dropdown. Tears filled her eyes as she glanced at Agatha.“She…she has cancer?” She mumbled these words as tears rolled out of her eyes uncontrollably. Soon after she thought of an idea and phoned the ambulance before escaping from the house without looking back.Yes, she had to run. She had endangered her best friend due to her useless thinking and jealousy. Thanks t

Jake gripped his phone tightly as he heard Maron's smirk from the other end. How could he not remember who the devil he was?“How did you get my number?” Jake asked coldly.“Chill bro, you don't need to get worked up. And as for your number, I've got ways too.” Maron replied.” Now back to why I called, you must be wondering how your dare Agatha died right?” Maron spoke in mockery“The fuck! Did you do this? How dare you!” Jake gritted his teeth in anger.“Me?” Maron started As he let out a short laugh.” I could engage in malicious acts but killing is not my thing.” He spoke casually.“Don't you dare lie to me!” Jake yelled angrily.“If you want answers, I'll text you an address, meet me there by 5 pm this evening. If you come with cops or anything related to the law, then forget about the truth. Bye.” Maron concluded before ending the call.Jake gritted his teeth as he banged his fist hard on the table.” How dare he!” He muttered, breathing frantically.Soon, Secretary Steve knocked o
