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

Zara glanced at him in shock as she stepped back. Not only that but Jake chuckled at her expression and folded his arms together on his chest.Bathe? What was Jake getting into? There was no way she'd get into the bathroom with Jake. Things got awkward the last time they got very close and now he was suggesting they bathe together?"You don't want to bathe with me?" Jake asked intently."N..no.. it's not like that, I mean..." Zara stuttered in confusion."Or you think I'm going to touch you inappropriately? Is that what was going through your head when I said we could bathe together?" Jake asked seriously and Zara looked at him, trying to understand his expression."That's not the case... Don't get me wrong... I..." Zara's voice trailed off and her eyes darted left and right. She wished the floor would open up and swallow her at this instant because she didn't understand what Jake wanted to do."Well, I was joking." Jake started as he picked his face towel from the hanger." I was just

It's been a week now since the incident and as expected, the media didn't release or spread any rumors concerning Jake's health. Although people were worried and were dying to know how he was doing there was no way they could know the truth. Moreso, Jake had told his secretary to fix a schedule for him to have a meeting with the media. At least, to announce to the world that he was still alive. Even though the entire Robinson family didn't visit him apart from his uncle who always stood by him. Jake couldn't be bothered because he didn't need Their fake care and support in the first place. Also, he knows they'd wished he was dead so what's the point of visiting him?Jake sighed for the umpteenth time this morning as he prepared for work. Zara had gone back to her Father's house yesterday evening because Mr Gabriel wanted her to come back. At least, Jake was better now and he wasn't mourning the death of his Father again. Not only that, but Mr Gabriel felt it wasn't right for them t

Mrs. Rosalie walked briskly down a dark aisle, there was evident fear on her face as she turned back occasionally to be sure no one was following her. Likewise, she held her bag tightly as she kept on moving.Strausser had given her this address and she found everything odd with it. But she couldn't complain, she wanted to let Jake down, and she was going to do it at all cost.Suddenly, she saw a shadow coming towards her, and she stopped walking abruptly. “Gbim Gbim!” Her heartbeat was louder than her hitched breath. Who was coming closer to her? Should she run or wait? What if it was Strausser? Well, thank God I have a pepper spray with me. At least, I'd be able to protect myself.These thoughts occupied Mrs. Rosalie's mind as she stepped back a little. The shadow kept coming closer until she was able to decipher who it was. The shadow was of a man whose hoody cap was covering his face. Not only that, but he fixed his hands in his hoodie pocket as he walked closer to Mrs. Rosalie.“

Zara had got off from work and decided to pick up some groceries from the store nearby Before booking a cab home. Just before she got to the store, she felt someone was following her and when she turned to look back, she found no one.“I thought someone was behind me,” Zara mumbled slowly as she held her bag tightly. She was having an unusual feeling already. She glanced at the store ahead of her and sighed in relief.“Thank goodness I am almost there.” She stated before walking briskly on the lonely road. Just as she was about to look back again, she suddenly felt a strong arm grip her hand and fixed a handkerchief on her nose before dragging her to the corner.Zara struggled forcefully with all her might, but it seemed the man was more powerful. Not only that but she felt herself going drowsy and weak every second. Tears filled her eyes as she couldn't struggle again, she was good as paralyzed and was losing consciousness, slowly and painfully, Zara closed her eyes and fell into th

If Zara was kidnapped, this was the right time for her kidnapper to demand a ransom or if she was killed, someone was meant to find her body and call them, but there was none of such.This greatly disturbed Jake to the extent that he didn't have time for work. He spends most of his time at the park or near the ice cream shop, hoping to catch a glance of his lost soulmate. Meanwhile, Mr. Gabriel was grievous, there wasn't any hope left again.

“900 Billion!” Jake exclaimed in shock and the inspector widened his eyes in bewilderment. Ever since he started taking cases involving kidnapping, never had he heard of a Ransom as huge as this. The highest was about millions none has ever asked for!Strausser chuckled at Jake's reaction and walked closer to Zara whose expression was epic as she glared at him. Before he began the call, he had taped her mouth so she wouldn't bluff out where they were, that's if she knew the place.“Isn't your beloved woman more than billions huh? And besides, you're wealthy, your stocks are more than a trillion, 900 billion won't be huge huh?” Strausser spoke rhetorically.Suddenly, the police made signs with Jake and he covered his speaker.“How do we trust he is with her? Ask him if you want to speak with her.” The inspector whispered and Jake nodded.“ How am I sure Zara is with you? you could be a scammer.” Jake asked and the inspector gave him a thumbs up

Not only that but if Strausser gets caught, it would be dangerous for him because Jake would find out also that he killed his beloved Father. “Did you kidnap Zara?” Mr Usman asked Again and Mrs Rosalie gulped nothing down her throat. What was she going to do? She had tried her best not to make it obvious and this happened? She glanced at Mr Usman and faked a smile, she already knew what to say.“Why would I kidnap Zara?

Jake had just gotten to the train station, his eyes caught sight of a camera and chuckled. He glanced back at the truck and sighed. He hoped Strausser had seen the truck and let Zara go.

Just In case their plan flops and Strausser demands double the amount or probably kills her?Just as he is still in these thoughts, he receives a call from the inspector.“Hello, have you freed Zara?” He asked in excitement.“Yes, but there's a bigger problem.” The inspector spoke reluctantly and Jake's heart began beating unusually.“Tell me, what are you spilling about!” Jake half yelled.“Uhmm… Zara was shot before we came there and…” “What!” Jake's eyes bulged in shock to the extent his veins popped out of his head.“We have rushed her to the hospital. The hospital is at…” The inspector continued talking.Without wasting much time, Jake left the truck swiftly, got into his car, and drove like a m

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.

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

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.

What if he drops him off at the airport and they note him as the wanted criminal accomplice?

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?
