CHAPTER 9:THE BATTERED PARTNER Jude had taken the next two days off to heal. After all, he couldn't get back to school with the way he looked. He had made sure to call the principal and let him know he wasn't coming for a few days. The principal had promptly cut the phone on him, even when he had said he would provide a medical report when he came into work. He had gotten Brady to get him a couple of shirts and official pant trousers so he could have appropriate attire for work. He had also gotten a pair of shoes and at least, this one didn't pinch his toe like his other old pair. He borrowed Brady's bike, riding all the way to school and parking in the teachers parking space before he went to the general office. He had actually made up his mind that if he ended up choosing to go home, he would resign. But he still wasn't sure. He still had his old battered car as he had driven it away from the house that day, but he didn't drive it because the old thing wouldn't start. He coul
CHAPTER 10: BOWING TO HIS WIFE'S LOVERJude had to look again and again to be sure. He didn't want to know what principal Donald was saying at that moment, nor did he care. The man who had stolen Alicia was here. And he was a shareholder on the school board. Jude had to swallow his breath and part of him hoped the man wouldn't recognize him. “I'm surprised that you have this sort of man working for you Donald.” The man said, looking Jude up and down derisively and with a heap of scorn. Donald paused, head walked out from behind his table and came to personally bow and shake the man's hand. He stood beside Jude and he threw his arm over Jude's waist, trying to force Jude to bow. But Jude had never bowed to anyone before and he was not going to start now. Jude stood straight, like the proud heir that he was. Even if these people did not know it, he knew it himself and he could never bow before this caricature of a man who deceived others with his wealth.The man, Linus, chuckled,
Hearing the words that Linus had said, Donald already had been looking for ways and opportunity of dealing with Jude but couldn't because of him being the best physicists in the school, Donald then looked at Jude with a smile in his face."You held what he said, you should have apologized to him, now look at the situation you've put yourself and yet you called yourself a teacher" Donald said in rage….. Already with the thought of resigning Jude then looked at Linus and smiled, he would never bow down to anyone ever and would gladly resign.Linus after hearing what Jude had said, not wanting him to resign but to make him work under him to be in his control so as to punish and get his revenge on him for the first blow he had gave him in his face….."If it pleases you, I would not only remove from being the head physicist teacher but I will make sure to send him out of the school premises" Donald said "I don't want him to leave the school rather I would love it for him to keep working
Jude walked out of the Donald office in a fit of rage, coming out he then stopped for a while he knew what is going to happen and how the decision he made is going to affect him, but then again, "it's not like his going to avoid it forever, better late than never" he sigh and walked straight to his office where he had been before being called out by Donald. Just getting to the office, the door was wild open he stood by the side and heard gossip still going on in the office all about him, walked in immediately the atmosphere became quite just like that of a thief being caught in the act of commiting a crime,"What's going on" Jude spoke curiously… Wth no respond, Jude ignored them not caring about what's they were saying anymore or even gave a fu..uuck about it, he walked to his seat opened the drawer where he had kept his things, brought them out and cleaned his desk though he was a little reluctant about leaving the school but had no choice, he walked to the door of the office, la
After settling the event that had happened down at the entrance of the company, secretary Jin and Jude took an elevator and went straight to his father’s office. Secretary Jin had asked Jude to tell him all that he experienced living alone and Jude began to narrate everything to him just as they were seated. After a while of long interaction and conversation between them, secretary Jin shook his head, shocked that Jude had gone through all of that as he saw the swell on his face. "So, tell me everything that happened in my absence and what exactly happened to my parents." Jude asked. “Well, it's quite a long story. Your father’s accident is still under investigation because it might have been planned, luckily, he survived with a slim chance and he is currently in a coma.” Jin sighed. “The news gave your mother a heart attack and she’s currently in a coma with your father, I couldn't give a concluded solution to what had really happened so I told the police exactly what I knew, I
Chapter Jude walked out of the company with secretary Jin who had offered to drop him off at the hospital. Jude politely rejected his offer saying he could go on his own. Hailing a cab, Jude got in and went off leaving secretary Jin behind who walked back into the company. Getting to the hospital, Jude got down, paid the driver and stood at the entrance of the hospital. He walked into the hospital and on getting inside, a lady with snacks and tea who was in a hurry bumped into Jude, the contents in her hand flying into the air. The tea spilled all over her clothes and a little on Jude's clothes. She turned towards Jude immediately, her face red. "How dare you, what's wrong with you? Can't you see? Didn't you see me coming?” She asked, her voice echoing in the room. She had drawn the attention of others who were also at the hospital, blaming Jude for bumping into her and asking him to apologize to her, that she could have fallen and hurt herself badly. The noise distracted a lot o
She called her boyfriend, who she believed would not let Jude go without dealing with him. Jude stood there with the thought of finding a way to leave and go see his siblings and parents. After a while of silence with the lady staring at Jude angrily, a group of gangsters walked into the hospital noisily putting everyone in fear, the crowd began to lessen leaving the place where the scene had been taking place. The lady seeing the group smiled, she knew that the group belonged to her so-called boyfriend whom she had called a while ago to come deal with Jude. Though she didn't expect her boyfriend to come with his group of gangsters to scare staff and patients away, but she ignored seeing it wasn't in her control anymore. After causing a ruckus and making so much scene, they walked to the direction which the lady was standing and she pointed towards Jude. “He is the one who misbehaved with me and he is still so reluctant to apologize, he is so arrogant and stubborn.” She spoke in an
Chapter 16 Looking shocked from the shout, they all looked ahead. Jude was so surprised when he saw who it was. It was Brady. Jude was so shocked, he wondered what Brady was doing there. If it was good or bad for him, he didn't have a conclusive judgment yet. Brady walked towards Jude’s direction hastily, "Good day sir, how are you doing?" Brady added. “You must be kidding me; does it look like I am having a good day? Can't you see what's going on man or are you short sighted that you can't see or understand the situation? What are you doing here, Brady?” Jude asked curiously. "Oh well, I came to see someone, a friend of mine, who's admitted in this hospital, I saw the commotion and was shocked to see you. That was why I shouted." Brady replied. Gang leader frowned, he immediately tried to fawn when he saw it was Brady, he knew Brady well and knew well of his capabilities and all the illegal activities he had been involved in, and also what he does to his enemies. Brady turn
