Chapter 62“No, that's all I promise,” Katrina said as tears rolled down her eyes.Hayden's anger burned like a raging fire, consuming him from within. The revelation that Martin was the mastermind behind everything left him seething with a mix of anger and disbelief. How could he stoop so low just to get back at Owen?“That motherfucked will pay!” Hayden said as his fists clenched, he struggled to control the surge of emotions coursing through his veins. The room seemed to shrink as his anger grew, the walls closing in around him. Maya, sensing the intensity of his rage, stepped forward. "Hayden, I understand how furious you must be right now," Maya began, her voice steady and soothing. "But lashing out in anger won't solve anything. We need to think clearly and find a way to expose the truth. With Katrina’s confession, we have all we need to get Owen out of jail.”“Didn't you hear her confession, that man is a monster,” Hayden said breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling wi
Chapter 63Owen's heart raced as he sat in the cold, dimly lit interrogation room, his mind swirling with questions and uncertainty. The weight of the accusations against him had been suffocating, and he had resigned himself to the possibility of a lengthy legal battle. He knows he hasn't done anything wrong and they can't keep him here without concrete evidence. But as the heavy metal door creaked open, revealing a stern-looking police officer, confusion washed over Owen's face.The officer's words hung in the air, echoing in Owen's ears. "You're free to go," he said, his voice laced with a hint of surprise. Owen's eyes widened, his brows furrowing as he tried to make sense of the sudden turn of events. The room seemed to spin around him, the walls closing in as his mind struggled to process the unexpected news."But... how?" Owen stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. He couldn't help but wonder if Hayden had gotten to the bottom of the case. The confusion etched on Owen's fa
Chapter 64“I will see you at home,” Maya said to Owen as he hopped into his car and drove off. She decided to stay back with Hayden to help with the paperwork.With a wide grin on her face, Maya turned to Hayden and exclaimed, "Can you believe it? Owen is finally free! We did it!" Her voice was filled with excitement and a sense of accomplishment. “I am so happy and relieved honestly” Hayden replied happily.“This is a call for celebration, Martin is finally behind bars,” Maya said and Hayden's eyes sparkled with pride as he nodded in agreement, his happiness radiating from within.As the excitement of Owen's release filled the air, Hayden couldn't help but feel a surge of courage and hope. Amidst the jubilation, he turned to Maya, his heart pounding with anticipation. With a nervous smile, he asked, "Maya, would you like to go on a date with me? Please say yes this time”Maya's eyes widened in surprise, her cheeks flushing with a mix of emotions. Memories of their previous encounte
Chapter 65Owen stopped kissing Maya, and his eyes lingered on her for a bit, he was a bit sober but looking at her pouting lips he wanted more, he doesn’t want to stop, but he had to, he had to think of something else, "Maya," he said as his hand trailed down her back and cupped her ass. "Hmmm?" she hummed, she was still in a daze from the kiss they just shared. "I want you so bad right now."he said as his lips brushed against her neck. "Oh, I want you too," she said as she reached for his shirt and pulled it off. "Fuck me," she said, her voice was hoarse from the kisses they shared. "I want to make love to you right now," he said as his hands reached for her tits, he was just about to unhook her bra when she pushed him away. "What's wrong?" he asked, his eyes were still filled with lust. "I don’t know, I’m just..” Owen kissed her to make her stop talking, she wrapped her hands around him and kissed him back "Let’s do this," she said as she pushed him on the bed and climbed on top
Chapter 66Maya gasped as she realized what had just happened between her and Owen. It was as if her eyes were clear now, and she knew she kissed Owen. She took a few steps backward, staring at Owen. She was caught with the sofa, and she fell on it. She heaved a sigh as she sat on the sofa, holding onto her head with her hands as she went deep in thought about what she had just done. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart as it pounded hard in her chest as if it were about to explode.Owen could only watch her as she stepped backward, falling on the couch. He contemplated whether to meet her and talk to her or not. He heaved a sigh as he finally decided to go and talk to her about it.“Maya!” He called out softly as he sat slowly beside her, but she heaved a sigh, raising her head to gesture to Owen that she was not interested in his talk. Owen leaned forward again, this time, bringing his mouth closer to her ears to whisper, but she stood up immediately and went insi
Chapter 67Maya stood up from the bed and quickly changed into the outfit she wanted to wear for the date. She looked all nice and beautiful as she stood in front of the mirror, admiring her beauty. She went out of her room to the sitting room and stood there in shock as her gaze suddenly fell on Owen, who was watching television. He was so engrossed in it that he did not notice when she entered the sitting room. Maya made up her mind to talk to him, even if he did not want to speak with her after last night's encounter.“Good afternoon Owen.” She said as she walked towards him, he tilted his head, surprised that she greeted him, but it was not evident on his face that he was surprised.“Good afternoon Maya.” He said as he tilted his head back to concentrate on what he was watching. Maya stood there, thinking of what to say next, but nothing was coming forth. She expected him to ask her why she had dressed nice or why she was not at work by this time, but he did none of that. He only
Chapter 68Owen glanced at himself in the mirror in his room, it was finally the day for Martin's trial and he would give nothing to attend the trial, he wanted him to know he lost and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. He stepped out of his room and saw Maya, she was dressed and he thought she was going to the hospital. "Are you leaving for the hospital?" he asked "No, I will go to the court with you"Maya replied and Owen wasn't really sure about that. "Are you sure you want to go with me, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable" he said and Maya laughed "I can assure you that I will be fine, let's go," she said and walked out of the house, Owen had no choice but to give up and leave the house with her, they went inside the car and the ride to the court was filled with silence. As soon as the car came to a stop, they both came down and at the same time Owen saw Hayden coming down from the car. He walked towards him. “We came at the same time,” Hayden said snd Owen nodd
Chapter 69Hayden and Owen are inside the hospital room. “Where is my uncle?”Hayden asked immediately he saw a nurse “Mr Richard is in ward 10. You will see him there” the nurse replied and they walked away immediately. They went inside the room and pushed the door open, they saw the doctor attending to him and luckily he wasn’t hurt like they had thought. “You are here,” the doctor said with a smile on his face.“Yes, is he alright?” he asked “Of course he is but I would like to talk to you in my office,” the doctor said and walked out of the room, Hayden went with the doctor and they both went to his office.“You wanted to see me,” Hayden said as he took a seat. “Yes, it’s relating to your uncle, he had a high sugar level so he is suffering from diabetes, it will take a while for his injuries to heal and I also want you to take care of him, we know accidents are unplanned unfortunate events but it will be great if you can help him, to prevent further accidents that can cause inj
