Claire's heart almost exploded the moment the Doctor said something wasn't right. What if there wasn't any baby in her womb? What would happen? All these thoughts filled Claire's mind as she stared at the monitoring screen. “What do you mean doctor, is anything the problem?” Jake asked in concern.“The position of the fetus, it would be very difficult for any gyn to see the fetus. Only if the doctor is skilled.” The doctor analyzed.“But is there a baby there?” Claire asked.“Yes, Miss Claire. Look over there.” She pointed to the screen and showed them a dark round spot. “ That's your tiny human.” She explained and Claire smiled emotionally. Jake watched the screen intently, He couldn't believe that tiny spot would make him a Father. He was going to be a Father and these thoughts brought joy to him.“Can we know the gender of the baby now?” Jake questioned and the Doctor shook her head.“Not yet, Mr Jake. The fetus hasn't formed properly. But, she should keep coming regularly for c

Jake had gotten to Mrs Rosalie's house at exactly 9 p.m, he knew it was late, but the earlier he saw her the easier this case would go. Likewise, he got to the front porch and looked back. That was when he realized there was a third car parked in a corner.“Is she meeting with someone? Doesn't she live alone?” Jake mumbled quizzically before pressing the doorbell. Since it was dark, he could not decipher the color of the car or the plate number.Meanwhile, Mrs Rosalie was already in a state of panic, she didn't know what to do at the moment. She doesn't want anyone to know about the affair she was having with Mr Osman and wasn't expecting anyone at this hour.“What are we going to do?” Mr. Osman asked hurriedly“Maybe you should hide somewhere, I need to check who's at the door.” Mrs Rosalie replied and Mr Osman nodded. “Quick, hide in my closet. I will be right back.” Mrs Rosalie stated before rushing out of the bedroom. She got downstairs and pressed the system to show her who was

Jake couldn't get his mind off what he saw in Mrs Rosalie's house, the fact that she was having an affair with someone else and that too in secret. There was nothing to hide if she told everyone she was seeing someone already, at least their Father had died more than six months ago.It now started occurring to Jake what Mrs Isabella said about Mrs Rosalie the first time he settled their fight. She was always going out and didn't dress like a woman who was mourning her husband. He further remembered Mrs Isabella saying something about her going out before their husband's death.“Does this mean she was already having an extramarital affair before Father died?” Jake questioned rhetorically. There was a lot to study in this matter and he couldn't help but feel uneasy about Mrs Rosalie. Just as he is still in his thoughts, he receives a call from Mike. “ Hello Mike, good morning.” Jake started.“Good morning Jake, I saw your message the night before and I am happy you took my advice and

“Gabe Riley?” Cyrus mumbled slowly as he watched Strausser go into the building.” Is that his house?” So he thought as he came down from his car. Likewise, he looked around the house and folded his arms across his chest. Now that he knew where Strausser was living, he'd have to wait for him to come out before carrying out his plan. Cyrus went back to his car and sat inside. Not only that but he decided to give Jake a call to update him on what he found out. “Really? I knew it, there was a man with her yesterday.” Jake spoke in disappointment immediately Cyrus explained everything that happened.“But he didn't stay longer than expected. I was able to fix a tracking device under his car. We would be able to monitor his movement.” Cyrus continued.“What if he has numerous cars, how are we sure he'd ride that car tomorrow?” Jake questioned thoughtfully.“Hmm, that's a problem. But I know his house already. That's better right?” Cyrus questioned as he brought a chocolate bar to eat. “T

Jake couldn't believe what he just heard, the person he supposed was Mrs. Rosalie's lover was an ex-military man. How did she get with him, how come he had never seen him before?“ Check why he left the military,” Jake spoke and Cyrus typed and continued scrolling through the system.“ Here,” Cyrus answered as he pointed at the screen. Jake bent over to take a proper look at the system and his eyes bulged in shock. “ He killed someone at the military base so he got suspended indefinitely.”“Do.. does it mean he is dangerous?” Jake questioned.“ We can't say yet, I'd still be monitoring him until I find something,” Cyrus replied and Jake nodded.“Thank you so much for everything, I really appreciate it. I will wire some amounts into your bank account.” Jake appreciated it.“Alright, that's a good thing. Thanks for hiring me as your spy.” Cyrus also appreciated it. Jake decided to host Cyrus with a meal before going, Cyrus couldn't help but feel thankful. After about two hours, he le

At exactly 9 a.m. the next morning, Mike and Jake left for the late Lawyer's house. Through the help of the internet map, they were able to locate his house.When they got there, they found it rather odd that everywhere was peaceful, no paparazzi or reporters at their doorstep, no one was wailing. Although people were there, he didn't expect such serenity.“Are you sure we are not in the wrong house?” Mike whispered as they made their way to the living room after being ushered in. When they got to the living room, Jake's expression changed to a sad one as he saw Mr Andrew's wife staring at his picture.“Thank you for coming Mr Jake, I know you have no hand in my brother's death. I am sorry for everything.” A man came up to Jake and spoke these words. Jake was quite surprised at the turn of events, he was expecting harsh and insulting words from there. “Come here and have a seat, we have been expecting your arrival since my brother's death, that was the reason we felt you killed him.

Claire blinked her eyes countlessly, trying to understand what Jake said. There was no way she was marrying him, but how would she tell him?“Umm, should we be thinking about marriage now? I mean, there's a lot on the plate and marriage shouldn't be a priority right now.” Claire finally spoke, shifting uncomfortably in her seat “I know, once all the charges against me are gone, we will get married and have our baby. I don't want this child to be out of wedlock, the baby would be a legitimate child of mine.” Jake boasted and Claire faked a smile“Are we.. really going to get married?” Claire asked before scratching her head.“Why? Don't you want to get married to me?” Jake asked, slightly hurt.“Of course, I'd love to marry you, but I just feel we should still calm down a bit till when I give birth, then we can properly plan a wedding. I don't think it's wise to get married with a pregnant belly.” Claire suggested as she touched her stomach. “Are you worried about what people would s

“What!” Jake yelled in shock and stood up from his seat. The maids thought something had happened to their boss so they rushed to the living room to understand what was happening. Mike just called Jake to deliver the news of Cyrus's death. It came as a shock to him and his hands fidgeted as he held the phone to his ear. “The police are inspecting the house at the moment and have already taken his body to the mortuary. Sadly, he was found dead early this morning by one of his neighbors. His front door was open and curiosity made her check why his door was open. “ Mike sighed dejectedly.“Oh my Goodness, this is so sad. How did it happen? Did he commit suicide or what? Was he sick? We still spoke yesterday afternoon.” Jake spoke and Mike sighed again.“He was stabbed countlessly till he breathed his last. Unfortunately, the killer didn't leave the knife behind. “. Mike explained.“Who could have killed Cyrus? Does he have enemies? Or what exactly?” Jake questioned.“Cyrus was a very
