Chapter 4

"Stop!, I agree but I need to see the evidence of transfer right now," Jared said.

"Of course, you will" Donald responded as he transferred half of the money to the hospital of Jared's godmother 

"God no, I can't let this happen to my husband," Elena said crying 

"Don't worry he will be fine it's just for some time and I mean he is of no use to you" Mrs Harrington added 

"Jared I am here for you don't worry all will be sorted out soon enough," Elena said patting Jared slightly on his back, and just as the show was going on, the police siren wailed from a distance 

"Oh they are here already, okay see you in court" Donald said smiling at Jared.

"You are under arrest Mr Jared for embezzlement and you have the right to remain silent until you get to court and you have the right to a lawyer," the policeman said as they handcuffed Jared inside the police van.

 Jared sat in the police van as he watched as Elena and Donald smiled at him sheepishly and wickedly as they drove him off to the police station.

he couldn't help but wonder how his wife whom he had loved dearly would betray him so much alongside her family.

On getting to the court Jared admitted to the embezzlement crime as planned he did and he was sentenced to prison for ten years .

Jared accepted on the basis that he will be bailed out in a few months.

Living life in prison was a very tough one for Jared as he was being beaten, bullied and maltreated by the prison inmates.

Six months into serving his tenure in prison Jared was still hopeful that the Harrington family would keep to their promise and come bail him out.

His wife Elena had never for once come to pay him a visit in the prison and he wasn't surprised until one day when a letter came for him.

" Hey you, this letter came for you ," the prison guard said as he handed the letter over to Jared.

Jared opened the letter with the hope that he would meet something positive that would light his heart up but to his biggest surprise Jared met the shock of his life.

"Jared, please do well to sign the divorce papers and I am glad to announce to you that your precious godmother will be dead as we won't be paying the balance for her cancer operation" Those were the words Jared read as the tears rolled down his eyes uncontrollably.

Jared felt his whole world crumble right in front of his eyes. His wife has just divorced him after cheating on him and his godmother has been left to die at the hospital. Basking in his sorrow and pain, the head guard told him to step out for his daily labor. 

Jared refused to step forward as all he could think about was the pain and betrayal.

"Are you deaf? I said you should step out!" One of the head guards repeated

"I will not move an inch from this spot!" Jared responded authoritatively not caring what consequences his action might cause.

"Then be ready to meet your demise, you worthless bastard!" The guard said as he charged towards Jared to use his iron rod to hit him.

Just before the rod could hit Jared, he fought back. This time with anger. A fight started between Jared and the guard. Jared was on the verge of overpowering the guards when a sudden blow hit in from behind and he fell unconscious to the floor.

"Take him to the infamatory now!" The head guard Steven ordered.

Jared woke up feeling the usual energy as if nothing had happened to him. The head guard Steven was sitting with Jared all through his unconsciousness.

"Young master, you are awake!" Steven exclaimed bowing to Jared.

"What is going on? I feel energetic like… like nothing happened" Jared said as he sat upright.

"You have a call for you young master," Steven said as he handed Jared the phone.

Jared collected the phone reluctantly to know who was calling him and why he was being addressed as the young master.

"Master Jared Sinclair, we are happy to have you back. We thought we had lost you forever. Your seven hundred billion dollars inheritance is waiting for you" the voice over the phone said excitedly.

"I'm sorry, who am I speaking with?" Jared asked confused.

"I am Alexander, the vice president of the legal holdings conglomerate. All preparations have been made for your arrival boss" Alexander said.

Jared was speechless at first, trying to comprehend all that was happening. One moment he was a pauper, one moment he was sentenced to jail for a crime he did not commit, one moment his wife had sent divorce papers, and one moment he is now the president of the legal Holdings conglomerates. All of it seemed like a dream to Jared.

"I am sure you must have mistaken me for someone else. I am just an ordinary Jared, how do I own so much wealth in the blink of an eye?" Jared asked still confused.

"We will explain everything to you young master firstly we need to get you out of this wretched prison," Steven said as he bowed down to Jared.

"Then prove it, prove it," Jared asked.

"Young master, what do you mean?" Steven said, still bowing down.

"I mean you said I am the heir of the legal Holdings conglomerate. Prove it to me now. How do I know this is not one of the Harrington plans to get rid of me finally" Jared said.

 "Okay boss, I will do whatever you want" Steven responded.

"send five million dollars to my account right now," Jared asked.

"Consider it done young master" Steven replied immediately as he brought out a cell phone and showed Jared the amount that had been deposited into his account after he had included his details.

"Jared was shocked, surprised but relieved knowing now he has all the power to get revenge on the Harrington's.

"Well then, get me out of here. It's payback time for the Harrington's" Jared said smiling.
