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

Jake had just gotten to the location Maron gave him and was surprised to see it was a rather normal place, void of danger and people going around doing their business. Of course, Jake was expecting to see an abandoned, uncompleted apartment, fitting for a criminal like Maron. Just as he got to the expected meeting point, he saw Maron whose back was facing him, he was currently on a phone call. Moved with curiosity, Jake walked slowly and hid behind a garbage dump. That was when he could hear what Maron spoke clearly.“I've got the evidence against you, I have been following you secretly till you went to Agatha's house.x” Maron snickered and Jake wondered who he was talking to. It was the person who murdered Agatha, but what did he mean when he got evidence against him?“I fucking recorded you, don't act smart, you've been caught, by the way, Jake should be on his way here, I'm going to tell him everything and how you killed your best friend,” Maron spoke and Jake's eyes bulged in sh

The Robinson's residence was rather quiet than usual, it may seem as though most of the family members were not around, probably busy with Their work or other activities. Sat in the living room was Mrs Rosalie, she laid lazily on the couch as she was glued to her phone, grinning and smiling like a teenager in love. It was obvious she was chatting with someone,but who could be the person. Suddenly,her phone buzzed and she checked the caller. A bit surprised, she picked the call.“I thought you didn't want to hear my voice today.” She spoke timidly and a male voice chuckled from the other end of the phone.“I couldn't hold it in any longer, these chatting won't work out, let's meet up today.” The voice spoke and Mrs Rosalie suddenly stood up and rushed to a corner, she looked left then right before speaking in a whispered tone.“He's around today. As I speak with you, he's currently in his study. It would be rather hard for me to come without him noticing my absence.” Mrs Rosalie Frow

Mrs. Rosalie and Mr. Osman Robinson were having an affair, it's rather shocking to think they had been together for over five years and Mr. Osborne Robinson had no idea about it. It was already getting dark when Mrs Rosalie left the hotel room and expected, the bodyguard was waiting outside for her. As soon as he saw his First Madam, he rushed towards her and helped her with her bag after which he bowed slowly.Mrs Rosalie gave him a stern glance before entering the car. She heaved a sigh as she watched him run to enter the driver's seat. As soon as he sat and was about to start the ignition, she spoke to him.“Where did I go?” She asked with disdain on her face.“Ma'am… I.. you went to your friend's house to get together.” The bodyguard replied hurriedly.“And where else did you take me?” Mrs Rosalie further asked as she touched her polished nails.“To the shopping mall ma'am.” He replied politely.“Here, take this and shut your mouth.” Mrs Rosalie spoke as she threw him another bu

Mr Osborne Robinson and his son arrived at the business Event venue, it was to be held at a famous hotel on the northside of Glazzaton. As soon as they arrived, the escorts ushered them to their various rooms to prepare for the forthcoming event in the evening. Jake opened his room door and walked in, he watched as the escorts dropped his suitcase on the bed and bowed before leaving. He sighed slowly as he pulled off his jacket and tossed it on the bed. “Uhmm.” Jake hummed as he sniffed the air of the room. It smelt of lavender oil and scented candles. Seems the last occupant of the room had their honeymoon here. Not only that but the scent reminded him of Zara so he picked up his phone and called her.As expected, Zara picked at the second ring and Jake smiled.” Hey babe, I've been checked into the room.” He spoke and Zara sighed in relief.“That's good to hear,” Zara answered. Jake chuckled softly and walked towards the window.“Why did you sigh, were you worried? I didn't go far,

Mr Osborne Robinson rushed out of the hotel, but not before checking out. He signaled his men to get ready and within a few minutes, the journey started. Mr Osborne Robinson couldn't keep his mind off what his brother just told him. He at first didn't want to get curious, but Rosalie's movement lately was rather suspicious. Not only that but, he tried not to think about any negativity, since Rosalie was his favorite wife. Likewise, he thought inwardly in his mind that whatever Mr Osman had against his wife was valid. And come to think of it, he wondered how Mr. Osman knew about his wife's ordeal… was he stalking her? How Did he know about it? Or did he have an informant? These are questions he would love to ask his brother as he tapped his legs anxiously. Just as he was still in his thoughts, their vehicle suddenly stopped moving and Mr Osborne furrowed his brow.“Why do you stop moving?” He asked his driver who also didn't know why the car in front stopped moving.“I would go down

How unfortunate, how devastating and how pathetic. The doctors tried their best, but it was too late to save him. He was rather brought in Dead. Mr Osborne Robinson was dead and gone, there was no way he could have survived the bullet since it hit right through his head to his skull. After a long time in the hospital, crying and soliloquizing, the Family left the hospital but not before Jake signed the death certificate and watched his Father being wheeled to the morgue. They were currently in the Robinson's residence, including Zara and Mr Osman.

Zara just got off from work and decided to visit her family. Although they spoke quite often on the phone, she missed seeing their faces. Once she got there, she met Max glued to the TV as he watched a movie. Meanwhile, Mr Gabriel was in the kitchen cooking. Zara stood beside Max for a total of fifteen minutes before the latter realized someone was right beside him.“Oh fuck! You scared me.” Max touched his chest as he tried to call himself down.“I have been here forever and you didn't even notice my presence!” Zara exclaimed before rolling her eyes.“This movie is intriguing and fascinating. You need to watch it.” Max spoke with a grin.“How I wish you were this serious with your books, at least you'd get straight As.” Zara countered.“Who says Cs aren't good? At Least I haven't gotten an F,” Max spoke before winking at his sister.“Arrgh!” Zara groaned in frustration.” You are just so difficult and annoying.” She commented.“And that is the main reason why I am Zara's brother, you

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
