One True Heir Chapter 61
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
One True Heir Chapter 62
It was a gloomy day in the Robinson's residence, everyone was rather shocked at the turn of events, it was just too much to believe that they just lost their Father and husband. 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. The news of his death hasn't gotten to the media as the family wanted to mourn Mr Osborne Robinson before any third party.“Father didn't deserve to die,I don't recall Dad beefing with anyone, he was always easy going!” Freddy exclaimed bitterly before wiping his

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
One True Heir Chapter 64
It was an awkward moment for Zara and Jake as they stared at each other in shock. Initially, Jake had told Max that he wanted to sleep and he should direct him to his room but Max decided to show him his room.After Max left the room, Jake lay on the bed and brought out his phone. He began surfing the internet and his social media accounts until he stumbled on something catching. It was a picture of a little girl who looked exactly like Zara. That was strange, right? “Does she have a twin?” Jake mumbled softly as he checked the picture again. Curiously he stood up to ask Zara directly. “ I hope she isn't asleep already.” Jake continued as he searched for Zara's room.“There are two rooms on this floor,” Jake stated as he remembered what Max had told him. He walked slowly through the passage until he got to the end and saw a door. The door was decorated pink and had Zara's name written boldly on it. “They are at loggerheads, even though their rooms are far apart. There's no room for

Jake was currently at the Robinson's residence, he sat at his late Father's chair and watched as his family argued amongst themselves. Sighing for the umpteenth time, he checked his wristwatch and glanced at their angry faces.“Can someone please tell me the reason for this argument?” Jake finally questioned and everyone looked at him in disgust.“Oh stop acting like My late husband, you would never be anything like him!” Mrs Laura Robinson snickered before rolling her eyes.“If I wasn't like him, he would never have given me his position. Don't you think so?” Jake smirked and the older woman glared at him. “What's the reason for this unnecessary argument? If in the next 5 minutes, no one is ready to speak, I might just let the law take over.” Jake started nonchalantly and every person present there looked at him in shock.“Are you going to call the cops on us? How dare you!” Mrs Rosalie barked.“Then it's best if you start talking before I do so. And by the way, where are your sons?
One True Heir Chapter 66
It's been three months since the death of Mr Osborne Robinson. Jake's responsibility to cater and look over the household was quite tiresome for him. At a point, he felt they were having issues purposely to get on his nerves.He had also wondered why everyone was always present in the Robinson's residence. Last he remembered, every member of the family had their houses, excluding his late Father's wives who rather had penthouses or mini islands which they used for vacation purposes.Meanwhile, Jake had been preparing for his company's dinner party which was expected to be held in the next two days. The party was the first ever official party in the company and the staff members were rather excited to grace the occasion. The party was expected to create awareness as Jake was going to launch the project he and his team had been planning for a while now. He hoped the appliance they were about to introduce would increase Their stocks and bring more sales across the country. Currently, J

Jake paced around his living room as he checked the time with his Rolex wristwatch. He sighed for the umpteenth time as he glanced at the stairs occasionally. Jake was waiting for Zara to come down so they could go together for the dinner party. He wondered what was delaying her from coming.“Zara was never like this.” He muttered bitterly before sighing once more.” Why did I have to invite professionals to get her dressed? She could have done it on herself and we might probably be at the event hall, greeting people by now.” Jake continued grumbling.After a while, the people who had helped Zara with her dress came down and bowed slightly In Front of Jake.“Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Zara is ready and will be down in the next few minutes.” One of them spoke and Jake Frowned.“It's almost 9 and we are supposed to be there at 7! I invited you both by 5 to get her ready before 7. Was two hours not enough? You used a total of 4 hours!” Jake expressed his displeasure and they bowed t

CHAPTER 68“Good day ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to this Dinner party, the first of its kind under the power and authority of Mr. Jake Robinson. The chairman of the C&C Global Company Ltd. I remain your host for today, Stan.” The host started and everyone clapped with a smile.“Thank you… thanks for the applause, this little man appreciates such gestures. Today isn't a day to be sad, but rather a day to rejoice. Everyone should eat their fill. It's quite strange that there aren't many stewards available in the hall, probably they are bringing in something. But be rest assured, there are lots to eat and drink.” Stan continued and everyone clapped cheerfully.Jake Gazed at Stan and tried signaling him to come down from the stage. There was trouble, too bad he had thrown his phone away, he could have texted Stan… “Shit!” Jake groaned in frustration. Zara glanced around, searching for the terrorist he saw.“I see no terrorists around. What are you talking about?” Zara asked, in

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

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

Jenny Larryson has been feeling troubled since the beginning of the day. There have been ominous instances happening and she feared something bad was about to happen. 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. Likewise, she placed it before him and poured some tea from the kettle into the tea cup.

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

It was early the next morning when Strausser woke up to prepare to go to the airport. 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? Most especially when he once had a criminal record with Jake and he is an ex-convict, it'd be very easy to arrest him and jail him for doing nothing.That was the reason why she kicked against the idea of Strausser staying in her house together with her little kids. 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

Claire sighed for the umpteenth time this afternoon as she thought about everything that happened. She couldn't help but think she was at fault and blamed herself. If only she didn't call Strausser to warn him, probably Mrs Rosalie would still be alive. Claire feels guilty that things had to end that way for Mrs Rosalie but then, she has to be extra careful, no one knows where Strausser is at the moment, what if he comes for her and kills her?“My baby.” Claire unknowingly touched her slightly protruding belly in fear. She didn't want to do anything that would harm the baby.“My Father is a military man, why should I be scared?” Claire tried to console herself but deep down she knew her Dad might not be able to save her. Suddenly, General Ismael Larryson came into Claire's room and stood in front of her in worry.” What is the problem, Dad?” His daughter asked.“I haven't seen Osman in days, I went to his hideout but found only his phone.” Her father answered.“What? That's strange…
