2024-10-29 19:42:56The guard opened the cell door and putting his head inside the room, he scanned the room.
"Gerald! Come out!" He instructed.
Gerald came out of the cell room. His cellmates were almost tear-eyed because they were going to miss him.
The guard started walking away without saying another word to Gerald.
Gerald quickly followed the guard from behind. They got to the counter and the guard at the counter gave Gerald his properties.
"Eyes are on you, so be careful else, I will be welcoming you back here in no time." The guard said as he handed Gerald's properties to him.
"Thank you." Gerald smiled.
As the prison gate opened and Gerald came outside, he breathed in a breath of fresh air.
He spent a year in prison, during which time he made hundreds of millions of dollars treating wealthy people outside prison.
Gerald smiled as a luxurious car pulled in. Gerald knew that was his wife Fiona.
She had been the one holding his money while he was in prison.
His smile became more broad as she stepped out of the car.
He was already imagining living a happy life with his wife from the money he had made.
He knew that she was the one who had helped him get out of prison and he could not wait to show how grateful he was to her.
He saw that she was dressed in luxury and designer brands and he knew that it was his money she was spending but he did not care. She was his wife after all.
Gerald opened his arms as he walked towards his wife, but his wife raised her beautiful leg in the air to stop him, he could almost see her underwear.
Gerald squinted his eyes in confusion. He could not understand why his wife was acting strange.
"Honey, what is the problem?" Gerald asked her.
Fiona did not say anything to him, rather, she wrinkled her nose at him in disgust as she handed a file to him.
There was confusion written all over Gerald's face as he took the file from her.
His eyes widened in shock as he brought out the documents that were inside the file and began to read them.
"What is the meaning of this Fiona?" Gerald asked her.
"It is written on it, I don't know what else you want me to explain," Fiona answered nonchalantly.
Gerald did not want to believe that what he was reading was true so he burst into laughter.
Fiona looked at him like he had gone mad.
"What's funny to you?" She asked him.
"You must be joking right?" Gerald said as he tried to compose himself, "You got me out of jail just for this prank?"
"Don't flatter yourself, I'd rather you rot in it." Fiona answered without blinking an eyelid
Gerald's face turned ashen with pain.
He had initially thought that it was his wife who had brought him out of prison but now began to wonder who had pulled the strings to get him out of prison.
"Fiona why? Why would you want to divorce me?" Gerald asked pained.
Fiona folded her hands on her chest and smirked.
"Simple! I do not want to be known as the wife of an ex-convict." She stated simply.
The words hit Gerald hard and he staggered.
He had never thought of himself as that. He knew a lot of people might refer to him as an ex-convict but never for once did he imagine that his wife would be among them.
Gerald was pained and was almost close to tears but he refused to cry because of her.
"Fiona! How can you look down on me because I'm an ex-convict? If it hadn't been for me, you'd be the one in prison." Gerald asked.
"Oh please keep your voice down!" Fiona shouted at him.
Gerald was taken aback by her behavior. Before he went to prison, she had never spoken to him in such a manner.
Gerald wondered what could have made his wife change so much in such a short time.
"What happened Fiona? This is not the you that I know." Gerald said.
"Of course! This is not the me you know!" Fiona agreed.
"Then who are you now?" Gerald asked.
"I am now the CEO of one of the listed companies in the country, I cannot be with someone who has been to prison!" Fiona said.
"Really?" Gerald asked.
"Yes! What will people say about me?" Fiona answered.
Gerald was at a loss for what to say. Everything was looking and sounding amusing to him.
Fiona had pretended to be a good wife to him while he was still in prison and he had trusted her with his money.
He knew then that she had used the money he made while he was in prison to build her company.
Now, he was without his wife and his money. She had played a fast one on him.
"So what about my money?" Gerald inquired of her.
"What money?" Fiona asked him pretending not to understand what he was talking about.
"Stop the pretense Fiona" Gerald demanded.
Fiona's face lit up with fake realization. She was acting like she just understood what he was talking about.
"Oh, the money? Well, that was what I used to take care of myself while you were in prison." Fiona lied.
Gerald had suspected that it was his money she had used to set up her company but hearing her lie about it, he felt nauseated.
"You are lying! You used my money to set up your company!" Gerald alleged.
Fiona flicked her hands to wave away Gerald's accusations.
"You can say whatever you want to say but you must meet me in court tomorrow to finalize the divorce!" Fiona said.

Gerald kept staring at her. He could not believe that his marriage which he had thought was perfect was crumbling before his very own eyes."And if I choose not to come?" Gerald asked her.Fiona burst into a mocking laughter. She walked menacingly towards Gerald and used the tip of one of her fingers to brush some imaginary dirt from his body."What are you doing?" Gerald asked her while sounding suspicious. "This is exactly what you are right now!" Fiona said."What? What do you mean by that?" Gerald inquired from her."Just the way I could easily brush the dirt on your clothes off with the tip of my finger, that exactly how easy it will be for me to brush you out of my way!" Fiona warned."Is that a threat?" Gerald asked her."No! It's a warning because divorce or no divorce, I will not let you get in my way of success!" Fiona threatened. "And what will you do?" Gerald's eyes blazed with anger.Fiona smiled ruefully at him."You don't want to know what I am capable of Gerald so yo

Perplexed, Gerald came out of the room and went to meet the nurse who was in charge of the computer where patients' names were saved and cataloged."Excuse me."

"I came to pick up a Mr. Gerald." The man explained. Fiona on hearing Gerald's name burst into laughter. The man was surprised by her sudden laughter and could not help but wonder if something was wrong with her."And why are you laughing?" The man asked Fiona."I think there is a mistake somewhere because the person you are claiming that you were sent to pick up is an ex-convict! I mean he just came out of prison!" Fiona told the man.Fiona could not bring herself to believe that Gerald who just came out of prison would be picked up by a fleet of luxurious cars. The man got tired of Fiona's complaints and asked her to show him Gerald. Fiona still thinking that everything was a prank pointed at Gerald.

The fleet of cars stopped at the Metro Hotel and John quickly rushed down to open the car door for Gerald. "We are here sir," John announced to Gerald as he opened the door. Gerald came out of the car and stood in awe of the magnificent Hotel. Metro Hotel was the top Hotel in the city. It was a thing of pride to tell someone that you went to the Metro Hotel for dinner not to talk about lodging there. "Please come with me, sir," John said. Gerald followed John and they both entered the hotel. John told Gerald that Mr. Wellington was in the VIP section of the Hotel. Gerald followed John to the VIP section but John stopped at the lobby. "I'm afraid this is the limit I can go," John explained. "I don't understand what you mean," Gerald said with a confused look on his face.

The woman had a surprise look on her face as she heard what the old man said. "Grandpa, I don't understand! How can this thug here be the miracle doctor you told me about?" The woman asked, standing up. Gerald was mad at her for calling him a thug but he decided to control his anger out of respect to the old man. "With all due respect sir, I do not appreciate your granddaughter calling me a thug! It's an insult to my person." Gerald complained. "Oh please cut the crap!" The woman shouted at Gerald. "You are not just a thug, but a pervert also!" Gerald became angry. He could not understand why the woman kept insisting that he was a pervert when everything was just a mistake. He regretted his good intentions to help her. He would have just allowed her to fall down and maybe then she would not have been insulting him right now. The old man saw that things were beginning to escalate between Gerald and his granddaughter. So he decided to stop the matter from escalating. "Grace.

As far as she knew, her grandfather had only told her that he had found a doctor who could cure him. Mr. Wellington looked at Gerald and then at Grace. "I called you here because I wish you could marry my granddaughter, Grace." The old man said. Gerald and Grace were both surprised. Gerald wondered why the old man would want him to marry his granddaughter while Grace was also surprised at why her grandfather would want her to marry a stranger. Gerald was thinking if the old man did not trust him enough to heal him, and wanted to use his granddaughter as leverage, because if he get married to a member of his family, he would have no choice but to treat him well. Gerald knew that he was not ready to remarry again, not after the recent betrayal he just experienced from his ex-wife, Fion

Once she got in.She unfolded the wrap from the box and found a necklace. It was gorgeous and made of pure diamond."Not bad" She commented because it was expensive and wow he sure knew she wanted such.

The rain had started falling and Brian intended to leave the office. He was somewhat jealous when he mistakenly found jimmy and Julie kissing. It got him all riled up, he picked an umbrella from his office and dashed outside, however Julie's voice drew him back when she said;"Please wait, let's go together". He glanced at her as she ran through the rain to meet with him, Julie had no umbrella and once she reached out to him, she went under his umbrella while rubbing her palm together annoyed. Brian wished to ask a question but couldn't, he had snubbed her earlier because he didn't want to admit to himself that he was having feelings for this woman.Besides wading off any such feelings was for good because she was going to die someday.He kept staring at her and not taking a step forward neither was she, rather this woman was staring at the rain drop."Let's go Brian" she uttered, turning her gaze to him. He felt like telling it to her face that she should end any relationship she had
