Sarah opened her eyes and she smiled as Jasmine walked into her room."Hey, how are your feeling?" Jamsine asked her."I have a slight headache. It is nothing too serious, don't worry. How are you?" "I am all good. How's the food? I hear they have a great cook now." Jasmine teased."Ha-ha, very funny. Actually, the food is really good. Any better than this and I would be back here two days after discharge."Jasmine laughed at her."Look, I think you should really stop listening to your mum, and try to speak to her in a way that she listens to you." Jasmine said."I honestly don't think my mum and I have a communicating ability, Jasmine. I really have tried conversing with her through this but she is adamant and she is bent on making this about her! She is selfish.""I mean, James is wealthy, he has everything we never thought he had before. Yet, somehow, she desires to screw him over just like that." Sarah retorted."Well, she does have that capacity to destroy a man with her words,
"The security team would be here. The entrance to the building will be properly guarded and covered by six officers. Two at the gate, two inside and two at the door."The door to Rizzo's house opened and shut. Causey walked into the room occupied by Rizzo and four of his men. He had a scowl on his face."We close in on the town's edge. We secure the target here and here, place the evidences in the right place and make sure they all point to our man of the day, Johnson." One of the men summarized."Sounds like a plan." Rizzo said and dismissed them.His men walked out of the room leaving him alone with Peter Causey."You look worse than Donald Trump did when he impeached. I heard about your sore failure. He had you again, didn't he?" Rizzo chuckled."When do you plan to get rid of him?" Causey sneered "I told you not to underestimate him. The young man thinks like a forest animal, all nose and instincts.""I want him gone. I want all of them gone. I will deal with him, have his wife i
Mrs Brown sat in the living room waiting for her husband to return. Her expression was stiff and unreadable. At the sound of the front door opening and shutting, she perched up."What is going on?" She asked him."What do you mean?" He placed his brief case on the table."Why are you suddenly in support of James Johnson and his relationship with Sarah?" She queried."Why shouldn't I be? Isn't it time you let go of old wounds?" He asked her back."Old wounds? You call his act of deceiving us into thinking he was poor an old wound? On what account does he reserve the right to deceive us?" She asked him."You really have a problem with Sarah being happy? Well, I am not by any means going to fight her on this one anymore. Sarah has done everything that we required of her. Not once did she ever complain and now, I leave her to be happy with whatever decision she has been led to take." Mr. Brown retorted."You all are impossible! I will never accept that unfortunate child as my grandchild
"One foot after the other." James said to Sarah as he assisted her in walking into the new apartment he had rented for them to live in. It was bigger than the last one and more classynthan the previous one.Sarah marveled at the interior decor which was a smooth cream with a touch of black colour with beautiful artworks and furnitures.He incorporated the high quality technology systems which were his company's signature products.An average height woman in her forties walked out of the kitchen, dressed in a maid's uniform. Behind her was another lady, a much younger girl in her twenties, also dressed in her maid's uniform."Sarah, this is Mrs Sanchez and Penelope. Miss Penelope here and Mrs Sanchez will be your assistants while I'm away. They will stay in the spare room, and will be our very own live in helps." James explained to her.Sarah turned to him with wary eyes. She wasnt certain whether bringing strangers into their home was the best thing to do at the time."Hello. " She
The Captain walked into the room, followed by two of his men."What is he doing here?" Causey asked angrily."He is a very vital part of this plan, Peter. Apparently, you have not associated with the man who helped us hire Dark Clouds. Captain Sean Carlos" Mr. Antonio Rizzo said."He is my cousin from my mother's side." Mr. Rizzo explained.Peter Causey caught the Captain in a staring stand off. He considered it bad enough that they had to deal with James being an Army personnel, now he had to endure a Captain?"James Johnson is not a fool and as much as we all have his gut, the only way we can get to him is through his family. His wife is pregnant, a more sensitive moment for the young man, if you ask me." "Sarah's pregnant?" Viola questioned him. "Well, this is getting interesting. So you've been vying to shag a pregnant woman." She mocked Causey."She did not know about it until recently, or so I thought. That's not the problem now. What do you suggest that we do?" Causey asked t
"You do not see anything wrong with it, do you? James is using you, Sarah. Yes! He wants to get back at you for all the times that we treated him bad.""And he had to include gettyme pregnant to prove what point exactly, Mother?" Sarah retorted sharply."You got pregnant all on your own terms. You let him touch you! That good for nothing show border suddenly wants to make his mark and you are allowing it.""Not mother, what I should not have allowed is James letting you into his house to sit here and insult him. What hasn't he done to prove that he loves me? Why go through the stress of saving me over and over just to destroy me?""He is a psychopath! Don't you read your books? Sarah, I brought you up to be a lot wiser than to let a silly thing like love pull you in. James Johnson is not the man for you.""And why are you so obssessed in proving that? Why don't you let me make my mistake and see for myself? The choices you made for me, I did try them. Frankly, I don't understand why I
Sarah felt an unusual tiredness around the discussion. For certain, this time, she was not going to doubt James again. She turned away from Jasmine and continued eating her food quietly.James walked into the General's office where he had a meeting with the President and the Captain regarding the Security arrangements for the upcoming event."Sir, I have made arrangements for twelve security officers outside the building. It is awareness that there will be certain plans to attack the base while the officers are away. We need to keep some of our able men guarding the post.""Such attacks are meant to be confirmed before action is taken," James commented as he walked in."Johnson, I am glad you could make it. Please have a seat." The President said to him. The President was a tall, white-haired man with grey eyes and straight lips.He smiled at James as he spoke to him. Whereas, the Captain threw James an offensive look."Yes, these claims have been strongly confirmed." The Captain repl
The Captain stared after James angrily, as he picked up his phone and dialed a number on his phone."We need to talk right away, something just came up." He cut the call.As James walked across the street to get to where his car was parked, a car drove past him with such speed nearly running him over.He jumped over the car and fell to the other side of the street where his car was parked. The driver stopped and when they saw he was moving, they drove away speedilyA couple of passersby rushed up to James to check if he was okay, and they helped him up to his feet. He had a little blood on his shirt and from where he scratched his arm on the slab."Are you okay, Mister?" A man asked him."Yes, I am fine. Thank you." James got up."You're bleeding!" One of the women there yelled out. "I'll call a Doctor right away." She said pulling out her phone."Did you see what car it was?" James asked the man who helped him up."Yes an Esquire Jeep. Red, what are you...?""Thank you." James thanke
