Alex took Jason indoors and held him down to his underpants and into the shower. At the same time, Caleb took his phone and headed to the living room, working as fast as he could to get all the information that he needed. He then went out, took Alex's suit by the pool, and returned it to him with the phone in it. Even though he was tempted to go through the details immediately, he had to make sure that Alex was gone first. Alex shot him a suspicious glance before he headed for the door to move out of the house."I see what you did there, " Alex said as he turned around. Caleb's heart began to thud. "You should not have pushed him in intentionally. He could have gotten hurt badly," he added, and Caleb let out a relieving sigh. Once Alex was out the door, Caleb took a seat by the kitchen counter and began to look through his tablet. There was nothing suspicious at first, but his recycle bin seemed so full from the past few months. Caleb decided that it was probably work informati
Jason settled down immediately as soon as he arrived at the office. They had a Thanksgiving break from college, but he seemed like the only student who was not having a break because of his work. He did not plan these things. They were suddenly the new span of his entire life, and he had accepted it as a good fate. Caleb had not been to work since the incident at his place, but he was not too bothered about that. He was more concerned about Beverly. Two weeks had passed, and she had still not come to work. He had tried calling her several times, but she would not answer his calls at all. Other times, her phone was switched off. He had not found time to go see her at her home because of the amount of work he had to do. He sent someone to watch her, and they confirmed that she was in good condition and was faring nicely. It left him wondering if he had done anything wrong. His mind trailed back to the events of the night that she had come to his place, just after the failed engag
Jason was still reminiscing about the events of the evening when he came home. He still had an hour before he met with his Nigerian investors, and he thought he would have a bath first. His dinner was already on the kitchen counter when he entered his apartment with Alex, but they were already too full from Beverly's house. As he entered the bedroom, he saw his father seated on the sofa in his bedroom. He was surprised at first, but his father smiled in a way that calmed him down. "I didn't know you were back," Jason began as he tore his suit from his body. "I see that you had some sweet love with your wife," he added
Once her alarm went off, Beverly got out of bed to get ready for work. It was safe to say that she had been anticipating Monday morning.She had contemplated if it was safe for her to return, and she thought it best.She needed the money to take care of herself and her brother. She had asked Sammy to stop working and focus on his studies, so she could take care of him like he had been doing.She was still not speaking to her parents, but she did not let it bother her one bit.She wanted to focus on her life and not be mindful of people who bore so much hatred for her.She was soon on her way to Jason's apartment. She had put so
Jason headed to the bed and lay on it, facing the ceiling, as Beverly watched him. As she approached him, he pulled the duvet over his face and turned around to the other side. His anger was bad to behold.He looked like he was going to break down at any point, and it melted her heart. She had promised herself that she would never harbor any form of affection towards him. But he had proven himself over the months that he was serious about her. After the scandal, she had not hoped to hear from him. But he had kept an eye out for her, gave her a house, and even gave her a job in an environment where she was supposed to be cautious. He had proven that he would be there for her no matter what happened. She walked towards the bed, took her time taking off her shoes, and joined him on the bed. Even though he felt the bed dip on the other side, he did not turn around. She moved to where he was and held him lightly from behind. He still did not budge, and it bothered her. Her eyes wi
"I'm home!" Sammy called out as he entered the house with a pack of tacos. Micheal rushed out first and hugged him. He dropped the pack he was holding and lifted the lad into the air and down. "You seem so excited today," Beverly said as she walked out of the bedroom. "Guess who passed all his papers this semester," he said excitedly. Beverly broke into a blissful smile as she walked towards him and hugged him. "I'm so proud of you," she said. "This calls for a celebration. We are going out," she announced, and Micheal was the happiest. Beverly had been so busy with work that she had not had so much time for him. Since she was dismissed early, she decided that she would as well spend time with them. Sammy's news was a good reason to do so.They soon got dressed and filed up in Sammy's old truck, which Sammy said that he only used because it could still move. They headed to the park since they were in the mood to have some fun. Sammy and Micheal headed to the games section while
Beverly was still wailing when they got to the house. It was difficult for them to find a cab that could get them home after the incident. Sammy tried to console her, but she was too wrapped up in the spur of the moment. He held her close to him as they got into the house. She sat on the sofa, tears streaming down her face, as she thought of what to do."I strongly think that this is not a coincidence," she said. "Someone must have planned this.""I agree with you," Sammy said as he paced about thoughtfully. His instincts were not going to lie to him. He knew that something was off the moment he saw the accident scene. He knew that the accident scene looked so unreal, and the policemen around grew some beards, were without badges, and looked quite ruthless. He would have just waited there with the other cars. But a thought came to his mind. They probably planned for those vehicles to be there as well, and they would have eventually attacked them even though they had chosen to stay
Mr. Abbott walked towards her in a black suit with a black hat on top of his head. He was not just the villain, but he had made an effort to dress the part. Jason had once cracked a joke about how much effort he put into his dressing, saying that he should have been a model and not a businessman.But as she looked up at him now, the expression on his face was stern. He looked at her with so much disgust, as though he would spit on her. The last thing she wanted to do was be associated with these brutal, wealthy men who would not hesitate to put someone six feet into the ground in a split second. She trembled as he reached out and touched the top of her head, his other hand casually in his pocket as he looked down at her. She looked like a puppet to him in this position. She had been forced to kneel before him."I guess by now, you should know why you are here," he began in a surprisingly soft tone that almost calmed her down a bit. "I don't think I do, sir," she answered, her voi
