One True Heir Chapter 67
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

Zara had heard the first gunshot and was gripped in fear, She was worried and wanted to know what was going on. She dabbed her wet eyes with the back of her palm as she sniffed. Has anyone been shot? Were they gasping for their last breath? Was everyone covered in the pool of Their blood? Jake?As these thoughts pushed into Zara's heart, more tears rolled down her cheeks. She desperately wanted to know what was happening. But how would she be able to know if she was stuck here? Jake had told her to lock the door and shouldn't open it until he knocked twice. What if he doesn't come?She glanced at the window Jake told her to escape from and began crying silently. How was she supposed to escape knowing fully well that Jake and the rest were trapped in the hall?Suddenly, she heard a squeaky sound and then a creature ran past her leg. Just as she was about to scream, she covered her mouth and breathed frantically.She hated rats and was also scared of them. She wondered how many rats li

Sheikh Akmed touched the Golden items, he placed the gun on the table as he raised the cup made of pure gold to the ray of light. “This real gold.” He stated and his men rushed in to confirm. Jake sighed in relief as he glanced at the real door Zara was in. He didn't want the sheik to suspect that anyone was in either of the doors beside the stage. The Apache sheik was currently the place where valuables are kept while the place where Zara was, was the place where old items are kept.He hoped Zara had found her way outside. He wondered what was taking the cops so long, he had told his uncle to call General Ismael Larryson too. For a moment, he regretted ever collecting Zara's phone. He could have given her so she could make some calls too. Now it was too late. He glanced around the place he threw his phone and sighed in relief, it was still intact.Sheikh finally came out of the room with a lot of gold that even the guests gasped in surprise. Jake likewise didn't know lots of valua

Mr Gabriel was currently in the living room watching the 10 pm news when suddenly the reporter relayed the breaking news. At first, he didn't want to pay attention but after the reporter began elaborating on the issue, he began having his doubts.“Max max!” He called his son who was sulking in the room because his Dad chased him away to read his books. “Now he needs my help after scolding me.” Max grumbled as he walked slowly to the living room.” Here I am.” He spoke nonchalantly.“Come over here, come take a look at this…” Mr Gabriel summoned his son who reluctantly sat beside him.Max watched the News and glanced at his Father in confusion. How was he supposed to understand what they were talking about?“Terrorists are currently in a hotel. They're holding everyone hostage.” Mr Gabriel explained. “Ohh, That's scary. What's the government doing about it?” Max asked absentmindedly.“Why are you acting this way? The hotel belongs to the Robinsons… and Jake and Zara went to one of th

Mr Osman and Mrs Rosalie paced outside the hotel room waiting for the army to rescue the hostages. Suddenly, they sighted the terrorist being bundled and handcuffed by the cops as they led them to their van. Mrs Rosalie sighed in Victory and anticipated her children to come out. Truthfully, she had been quite relieved that it was Jake who was the only casualty and not any of her kids. When she couldn't wait any longer, she decided to go inside and confirm for herself and Mr Osman held her back.“One more thing.” He began and Mrs Rosalie looked at him in confusion.” If anyone asked where you were, tell them you were tied in the kitchen together with the stewards. And if they asked you what you were doing there, tell them you wanted to get a drink and you guys were suddenly attacked.” Mr Osman concluded and Mrs Rosalie smiled.“You're such a smart sweetheart.” She spoke sweetly to him and Mr Osman smiled before releasing her hands. He watched her go and sighed deeply. Now he just had t

Jake had gained consciousness a few hours before Zara arrived. Although, when he opened his eyes, there was no one in his room nor did the nurses come to check on him. His hands were weak and his throat was dry making it difficult to speak or do anything. At first, he was confused about his environment but when the scenes of last night Chao played in his head, he realized why he was in the hospital. His eyes stayed on his chest as he looked at it. He felt that area tightened by bandages and couldn't see it clearly due to the hospital gown he was wearing. Not only that but his hands were too heavy to be lifted. After a while of darting his eyes around, he fell asleep due to the Anesthesia administered to him before the surgery. The moment Zara came in, he felt her presence but couldn't open his eyes since his body was still asleep. He had waited for a while for his body to stand, and what we call good timing was when Zara confessed how much she loved him

In Osman Robinson's residence…Mr Osman Robinson was currently in his study sitting on his chair. His eyes focused on the tiny bottle in his hands as he rolled, reading the brand slowly. “Did it work?” He mumbled as he shook the half-empty liquid bottle. Furthermore, he was placed down and punched on his system. “A few months of paralysis? They didn't give a specific month.” He noted with a frown on his face.” At least he's going to stay there for a month or two.” He chuckled.Suddenly, he poured the liquid into a bin and threw the bottle too. But not before removing the brand. No one must know what he had done. Not even Rosalie.Initially, Mr Osman went to visit Jake immediately after he got home. This was the opportunity and chance for him to completely wipe anything that would remind him of his late brother. Although he didn't have the intention of killing Jake, he wanted him to stay unconscious for a long time. At Least, o

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.

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.

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…
