“Under arrest?” Jake asked, jumping off his feet, “For murder of people I have never met in my life before? Are you sure you are not spilling nonsense, detective?” “Your fingerprints were found at the murder scene, are you going to deny that?” she asked furiously, clearly disappointed in him. She always had the thought that maybe he was different from the rest of them since she met him at night and he told her to cooperate with him in putting a bad guy behind the jail, only to find out that he is just as heartless as the rest of them or so she has been led to believe. “Fingerprints? I don’t even know where the murder scene is” he said, flaring up. “Then are you going to deny agreeing to have committed the murder yourself a few minutes ago?” Aiden asked, pressing a recorded sound and what played next was the voice of Jake agreeing to have committed the crime with a loud maniacal laughter. “What about that?” the detective asked, clenching her jaw, “I will advise you to just comply w
"Sarah pull yourself together and answer my question,what is your relationship with Aiden and what woman walked up to you filling your head with plenty of garbage"This was becoming tiring to him, he only followed her out of respect, if he wanted to play stubborn the whole office would be in an uproar by now.She turns from the driver's seat and looked at him, hate filled her eyes. If looks could kill he would be dead in the backseat of her police vehicle."You seat there and ask me such questions when you and I know that you orchestrated the murder of my family". She was in so much pain her words were coming out in gasps.Jake was soaked up in confusion, until now he has never met Aiden McPherson. Could this be senior Mrs McPherson's plan all along?. He wondered to himselfTo make him fall bait to her tricks, how many more McPherson's will he still have to encounter before knowing what he is really into.The words coming out of Sarah's mouth had no meaning to him anymore, all he coul
The fake Madison tried to twist her way out of Jake's grip,"there's no use for all this it's futile, you are coming with me" he said to her."This is abduction, I can call the police on you" she threatened him, using her eyes to search around for any cop that might be on stand by.He gave a wicked smile "I'm sure you wouldn't want to cause a scene here miss?-She ignores him and calms down "fine I'll go with you". They both walked back to his car together and entered.Max was shocked to see Jake's ex wife in the car. "It's not Madison, just her lookalike" Jake said on seeing the shock on Max's face. This settled him a bit."So what's with her, you plan to use her against them" max asked as he started the car."I don't know if she can be useful at the moment, she was working for them before and anything she does might not come as a surprise" he then proceeded to tell Max about how he was deceived and thought she was Madison, including Jackson's first kidnap.He then turned to face her
As he stepped out his phone buzzed, he refused to open it as it felt liy his world just came crumbling on him.The phone buzzed again and he still ignored it. Then it started ringing, he brought it out of his pocket and picked up."Where are you at?" The voice shouted into his ears it was Max's. "Cassandra has been shot and she's in the hospital right now, I have been trying to reach you""What?" I asked this can be happening, can the day get any worse. "Send me the location" he ended the call and zoomed if to the hospital where Cassandra was admitted.Max was already there and together they went to her room. Immediately she saw them she started shouting. "Get out, I don't want to have anything to do with you"."What are you saying Cassandra?", Jake asked her, "It is I your twin brother". "I was comfortable being a cashier at the bank, then you waltz into my life and now I have people after me" she sobbed.Jake tried holding her close to himself but she rebuffed his advances towards
Her words came as a shock to him "you have got to be kidding me Charlotte, reopen what case?"."First you came to me and told me what you are telling me now, after two weeks you came to me to close it, I didn't question your rationale behind it "."And now you are here with this request, what exactly are you after?""Does your grandfather know about this recent development?" He asks her."He doesn't need to know, this is between the two of us, and don't forget that my grandfather isn't the only one that can make and break you".The smile that plastered his face was not attractive, he edged closer to her, his thick cigar still hanging from his mouth. "You do know that I will be questioned , playing with this case the way you are requesting will soon attract the top dogs"."And when the top dogs are involved, my hands would be tied , I won't be able to help you then".She rolled her eyes, I that what he is so worried about? She wondered. Playing along with his smile and removing her han
"Your grandmother?" She asked him."I see you know her, but I would like to get the full information from someone and that someone is your grandfather" he pointed out to her "That's not going to happen, he will become suspicious at once" "I don't care, just get me what I need" he yelled at her."You did not even ask what I did to get the chief to answer me" her face was twisted already. It was obvious she did not like the way the conversation was going.There was silence for some minutes and he didn't respond to her, he just paced about not saying a word."Are you even listening to me?" She stood and tapped him on the shoulder."Oh I can hear you alright, if my guess is right you slept with the Chief of police to make him do your bidding, you can also try that method on your grandfather-" He didn't complete his statement before catching her hands mid way, she tried to slap him, his words had struck a nerve and she was visibly angry."Don't you ever think of doing that again" his vo
The shock on Jake's face was evident to everyone in the room as he watched Aiden closely, what could he be doing here? He wondered.His legs froze to the ground and he could not move a muscle, his mouth opened a bit and his eyes were not blinking.Aiden sat among the board members feeling quite comfortable at the reaction Jake was exuding, his face showed no reaction to Jake stopping at the door but his insides were delighted.When their gazes met as the door opened he showed no expression of someone who had met Jake before, he looked just like everyone else there, although he was pretending to have never met him before."And this must be him," Aiden said and stood up with a broad smile."I've heard so little but enough about you, my long lost cousin".Jake felt a gentle nudge from behind him, it was Max prodding him to move further instead of standing like a pole.He went along with the flow from Aiden, "I can't say the same for you, since I've never had the opportunity to meet any o
It came on fast and he dived into it, there were some segments that were not corresponding with the transactions that have been recorded.Something seems fishy somewhere, it could be that money is being laundered and they might be aware but pretend not to know.The amounts being imputed were correct but on a closer look the balance had a fraction of differences.Now this came as a surprise, someone is sneaking away company's money for their own selfish benefit and trying to blame him for the lackadaisical attitude he wasn't even showing.He'd admit that with the things that have happened, he was a bit detached from work and cared less, but doing this and trying to pin it on him is nowhere near acceptable.He called Max into his office "have a look at this", and turned the computer screen for Max to see it."I don't see what you are trying to imply" Max told him."Come on now, have a closer look, you'll get it soon enough"Then it dawned on Max, "whoever is doing this must be clever as
