The laughter that erupted from the crowd that gathered to watch what was going on rang continuously in Tessa's ears, it was like she was being spun on a wheel of embarrassment. She didn't bother picking the gift up and neither did Jimmy. She didn't know when tears dropped down her eyes and she was more embarrassed to even lift her hands to wipe them off. Nobody stood up for her to shut Dominic down for her misdeeds. Samantha was not here or she would have stood up for her, she was still in class. At the back of her mind she hoped that Jimmy would shout at Dominic for her rude behavior or at least have said something to her that would put her in her place. This was it for her, the end of high school,her life would be more miserable than before.

Jimmy steadily walked to Dominic who smiled like she had achieved a medal or some sort of other award, then Tessa turned and round pushing through the throng of people that were pointing at her and still laughing, she couldn't believe it. Jimmy,

    “It's not like I'm saying it so you can have the chance to comment or judge on my relationship life, I'm just being honest the best way I can, what Dominic did to you wasn't right, but it doesn't make her bad person to me. I know she can be mean but I can't still write her off. She is still my friend”. Jimmy said, not trying to make it look like he was defending her.Tessa did not agree with him “You are mistaken there, the fact that she has never been mean to you doesn't mean she isn't a bad bad person, let's say you are not Jimmy McPherson, how do you think she would have treated you, or does she treat your other friends the way she does to you or there's some slight difference. But you are right, you definitely know her more than I do so it's your call to make if she is a bad person or not, besides I didn't come here to discuss Dominic”.“You are right, let's forget that tonight and focus on us, so what do you say about my proposal or should I call it a request?”.“I don't know wha

    She did it. She couldn't not believe she retaliated. It felt so good, but why is she crying? That was the confusing thing right now. She dried her eyes,but more tears still came out from it.

It was about an hour before Jimmy woke up to the blinding light of the ward, it took a few minutes before his eyes adjusted to the light, and he tried to make sense of where he was at the moment. Looking at the sheets and around the room, it was clear that he was in a hospital, but why he was there was unsure to him. Then he caught sight of Tessa sitting on the chair then his mind went back to the party.He tried to remember, he was with some of his old friends as he could not stand Dominic's words anymore, then the next thing he knew was Tessa and Dominic fighting, everyone knew that Dominic would be in the wrong and would have done something to provoke Tessa, so he took it

    Her voice came out as a squeak betraying the confidence she felt inside her, she could not even look Robinson McPherson in the face, it was not like he a threatening look, but he exuded this aura of authoritativeness that could not be denied in any room. She managed to step closer to him so he could see her fully and assess that she was in no way a harmless person and it was just an accident.“So you did this?, Where you drunk or was ait something else”.Jimmy didn't want his father interrogating Tessa she might feel intimidated so he tried to speak up for her but she did for herself surprisingly. “No Sir,I wasn't drunk, neither did I take anything at that party,it was a honest mistake. I came to the parking lot to leave the party, no one was around and it was dark,so I assumed it was safe to drive off like that,I admit that was a wrong move and could have cost his life, but fortunately it wasn't at all bad”. She hoped what she said will allay his anger. That was the truth and she ca

Elizabeth said not displaying any fear.Jake released her.“I'm letting you go, not because I am too weak to kill you buy because you deserve a better punishment, you will live the rest of your miserable life, thinking about how you failed in this world, and the deaths of all these people will be upon you alone”.Elizabeth did not know when a tear dropped from her eyes, she would have preferred death over leaving like this, when no one was looking she grabbed a gun and shot herself in the head. Jake didn't say anything, he didn't even feel anything, he only held Sarah close to himself and said, “Let's go”.They drove back to the house, and this time it was finally over, when they got in neither Cassandra nor the old man was at home, and a maid told them that

    Aiden's grip on Tyler was strong, he pulled him along to a safe spot away from the bullets that flew recklessly, “What has gotten into you, do you want to die? is your life not important to you, how can you rush head on just to get the deed”.Tyler was not listening, his mind was roaming,“Aiden, I've got a plan, since it's just the two of them and we have more men that are armed, why don't you distract them, while they try to catch up with you, I will just round up around the back and pick up the deed, he dropped it when he shot that guy I saw it”.Aiden was not okay with it, but Tyler can be very persistent, “Okay, but make sure to come to the car in ten minutes, I will try to hold them off for that time”.

Sarah gave a nod to show she understood everything that he said.“Good girl”. He tapped her cheeks and left the room with Tyler.“So what do we do now?, Do we just sit and wait?” Tyler asked Aiden.“That is the only thing we can do, wait for him to come to us, don't worry y

Max said with a tone of finality.The next day Jake had assembled the top members of his board and Important executives from different branches, he also got a small amount of media personnel to be in the room with them, he was making a statement to Aiden and Tyler, that he was doing as they asked.“Gentleman and ladies, you all must have been wondering the reason for this gathering, as you all know, my grandfather your former chairman found me after plenty of years of searching, and when he finally did, he did not bother that I did not grow up learning the family business, or that I had no idea how to keep his legacy running, but he entrusted me with it all the same, I have tried all I could from when I resumed my responsibilit

When he got inside he slumped in the chair and signaled for the maid to get him a cold refreshing drink.“Do you want to kill yourself by running that long?, I saw you when you started you know, I just didn't imagine you would go that far,you do not have to stress yourself like that”.

When Jake became chairman we were aware of it but decided to give him time to adjust instead of throwing the big news at him that we are his grandparents, and knowing Robinson he would have declined us coming close to you both, he would have been angry as we did not help look for you both, but it wasn't easy on us, we lost the only daughter and child we had, there was no we could have been comforted, we were jealous of him at the same time, which was wrong, he s
