Janelle looked round her surrounding. Well there was no one around. "Father, father am coming to you. I don't like it here any more. I just... I just want to see you again. Tell me my coming to you would mean something. And I wouldn't have to suffer like this when am with you?" Janelle asked no one in particular. "Daddy, why didn't you protect me and why am I being wronged? I miss you so much. I miss you." Janelle sobbed. "I guess we would finally be together." She was about to jump when someone grabbed her hands. "Don't!" Charles said sternly. "Let me go, just let me go." Janelle yelled. "Hey kid, you can't just go on killing yourself." Charles said."What do you care? Just let me go." Janelle said trying to get Charles' hands off of hers. Charles pulled her from the edge. Janelle struggled to free herself but Charles' grip was tight. Janelle passed out and Charles asked his men to take her to the hospital and he would be there when he was done with something. Janelle woke
"Yeah, I wished you did too. Maybe then your mom would have believed you." Theodore said. "Don't even bother, my mom is so unreasonable these days. They'd all just claim since he wasn't paying attention to my advances I just wanted to kill him and be over it." Janelle said and Theodore touched her head. "Let's stop talking about them." Theodore said. "You're right." Janelle nodded. "So, other than the fact that you decide to be open with me I wanted to take you out today. Would you go on a date with me?" Theodore asked a smile on his face."Huh?" Janelle asked surprised. "Just a friendly date, am not asking you to be my girlfriend. So you don't have to be nervous." Theodore uttered."Would you?" He asked. "Okay." Janelle nodded.Theodore smiled at her and patted her head. They left the hotel and went shopping. "What exactly are we buying?" Janelle asked. "A bikini." Theodore replied. "What?" Janelle asked. "We're going swimming. Am taking you to the beach." Theodore said.
Theodore felt like slapping his friend from the other side of the phone. "Hey, I want to talk to you, it's very important." Theodore said seriously. "Oh, I didn't know this was an official call." Jasper said. "That's because you didn't let me speak. Anyway, I need you to check something for me." Theodore said. "What is it?" Jasper asked. "Dalia, she came to your bar to get something." Theodore said. "What is it?" "I think a temporary membership. I need you to check it out from your manager." Theodore said. "Okay, am on it." Jasper said soon he got the information Theodore requested. "So this temporary membership, she isn't exactly the person that would use it." Jasper said. "Then why go through... Okay, listen to me I need you to keep a close eye on that room. Or give me access to that room's security feeds I want to see what Dalia is up to." Theodore said. "Hey, just focus on your trip. I'll handle it and I promise when you get back you would see whatever it is you want to
"Fine, do it your way. But hey, why are you so intent on keeping a close eye on Dalia? Okay, other than the fact that she poisoned Karina like you told me why else?" Jasper asked. He wanted to know why Theodore was suspicious of Dalia's movements. Other than what they already know."That witch killed my mother." Theodore said. "What?" Jasper asked confused."Yes, I have a hunch she has something to do with my mother's death. I know you'd say it just speculations and there's no proof of what am saying but I would find proof and I would send Dalia to jail for killing my mother and for poisoning Karina." Theodore said. "I would help however way I can." Jasper assured. "Thank you, but I still have to keep a close eye on Dalia, and probably Albert too." Theodore said. "Why Albert?" Jasper asked. "There's something about him, and I still haven't gotten my revenge yet." Theodore added. "Just be careful Theodore, the revenge path is... Terrifying sometimes." Jasper said. "I have to mak
Albert was watching Karina from a distance. Robert came to the party even though Karina didn't invite him. He wondered why his own daughter didn't invite him to celebrate her success. He knows he wasn't the best father there is but... But he loved her. And yes, he might have acted like he didn't care, or maybe he hadn't had the chance to be a father to her but why would she opt him from her invitation list? "Ma'am, your father is here and is trying to cause a scene." A guard reported. "Just send him away." Karina said coldly. "No, let him in." Charles said. "Dad..." Theodore called out surprised. "Don't worry Theodore, there's nothing he could do. And am sure he wouldn't want to cause a scene so the spotlight be on him. Let him in." Charles said and Karina nodded at the guard and he left to carry out the order. Robert walked into the banquet hall with hurried steps he searched for Karina and found her standing next to Theodore."Karina." He called out."Hi." Karina said plain
"Well I've had friends over the years but it turns out they're all fake. Including Frank." Janelle sighed."I see, I guess I can be a true friend to you. If you want." Theodore said and Janelle smiled. "I'll take that as a yes." Theodore smiled back.~ The Next Day ~ Janelle already had her luggage ready. She was going back to her home. Her comfort. She had been living alone for a few years and it was a bit soothing for her. Except when Frank came to visit. Only then does she have company. She had promised she wouldn't go see her mom even when she calls or texts her to come. Charles was right it was time she forgot about them. She shouldn't think too much about her mother cause she would only be more saddened by the past.She heard a knock on her door."Come in." She said. "Hey, I see you're already packed." Theodore said. "I guess." Janelle uttered. "I'll drive you home." Theodore offered."No, you don't need to." "Dad asked me to. And I want to as well so... Please." Theodo
She couldn't believe Theodore bought it for her. Theodore saw her longing stare and he thought the dress would look good on her. She had given up on dressing up really pretty and was used to dressing up like the secretary she was. While she was living with her mom and step father they never let her dress up nice she was always on pants. And even at that Emilia was still jealous of her. She saw a smaller gift box and opened it. It was a beautiful necklace and there was also a card in it. 'Hey, I know you're going to say 'this is too much I can't accept it.' But don't, the necklace isn't a parting gift but of agreeing to be my friend.Let's just say it's a bribe. I'll see you at the office.' The card read and Janelle chuckled.~ The Next Day ~ Janelle arrived at the office with the necklace on her neck. Theodore saw it and smiled. He didn't think she'd really accept it but she did. It would seem the little card did play it's role. He couldn't be more happy. After work hours J
"I guess you finally got revenge for me hitting your bitch of a daughter." Janelle said coldly. Holding her cheeks."Are you ready to leave?" Janelle asked. "You're such an ungrateful daughter. After everything I've done for you and because of you." Vanessa said. "You did most things because of yourself. If there was anything you did for me, it would be before you started dating Mark." Janelle said her voice devoid of emotions. "Just come to the party." Vanessa said. "Don't bother expecting me." Janelle said. Vanessa angrily left Janelle's house and she broke down in tears. She dialed Theodore's number as she was struggling to breathe."Hey, don't tell me you miss me already?" Theodore joked."Theodore." Janelle called out with a choked voice."Janelle what's wrong?" Theodore asked surprised and worried at the same time. "Theodore, please help." Janelle sobbed. "Hey am on my way. Just try be okay before I arrive." Theodore said. He had just finished taking a shower and changi
