As he jogged, he feasted his eyes on different people, some were on their way to church while some were also just like him. This was the first time he jogged outside of his home and he kind of loved it. Probably he was going to do it more. After about an hour of jogging, Jake went back to his home and freshened up before having his breakfast. While eating, Claire comes in and joins him for breakfast.“You don't even tell me when and what time you'd be coming anymore.” Jake started and Claire gave him a pout.“What do you mean by that? Am I disturbing you already?” She frowned.“Of course not, I was just saying because… let me give an instance, What if you come in and find everywhere untidy or you catch me dancing embarrassingly?” Jake questioned.“Don't tell me you don't know how to dance?” Claire asked and covered her mouth from laughing too much.“At Least I can still wiggle my body. Isn't that what

Umm, there's something you need to do, Conversations we had… I mean, check his phone and delete my number and all the conversations. There's a recording he sent to me too, just do something about it.” Mrs Rosalie Instructed.“ What if I put the blame on Jake? I mean, you also want to get rid of him right?” Strausser asked the moment he grabbed the lawyer's phone and began playing the recording. “Yes, but if it's about killing Jake, I disagree.” Mrs Rosalie replied.“I'm not going to kill, we would set him up and blame him for the lawyer's deat

No fingerprints were found on the gun.

Hire more bloggers to write articles concerning it.” He spoke before ending the call. “Can you imagine!” He yelled as he banged his fist on the table.“You need to calm down Osman, Everything is going according to plan. Forget the fact his fingerprints weren't found on it, the bloggers would do a good job. I have also paid some online trolls to attack him.” General Larryson stated as he sipped his wine with crossed legs.“I'm not totally satisfied with the outcome, I know Jake better, he is someone who doesn't give up especially if he's right about something.” Mr Osman countered.“Then what should we do? As far as I'm concerned, we have done our part, it's left for you to do yours. For now, Jake thinks you have traveled out of the country. Make sure y

I can't stay here any longer!” She replied.“But… this house… It's unwise for you to move out.” Mrs. Laura reasoned. “ Anywhere you'd go still belongs to him, are you aware?” Mrs. Laura questioned.“I am aware, but this house is too toxic for me.

While Jake had all these in mind, Claire came in and he was quite surprised to see her come over. “I thought I told you not to come over till everything is settled,” Jake said the moment she sat beside him.“Do you know how hard it is for me to be away from you for two weeks?

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.

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.
