ANNIVERSARY AFTERMATH-- WHERE IS LOUISAFor fear of getting rejected by the heir, she needed not talk to anybody at the moment.At least till the end of this ceremony or maybe after she had finished her mission.Grandma was seated in her luxurious chair still eager to hear the arrival of the would-be heir of the Brooks family.She was looking around when she chanced upon Williams standing beside Louisa and speaking to her.She frowned“ What is he doing with her at this time? " She asked herself.For fear that the expected guest might enter at the same time these two would be in each other's company. Maybe the heir would think Louisa was a cheap slut or something. Hence her frownShe couldn't let all her carefully laid out plans go down the drain just because of Williams.At least, having dealt with Reuben's trouble was enough to handle for the dayShe was about to order one of her guards to go alert Louisa when she saw her (Louisa) walking away from Williams who wore a frustrated loo
WHERE AM I NOWGrandma quietly went to bed in a bad mood that day.The next day, she stayed up in bed late and was awoken by a call from her granddaughter Louisa.She could not answer on the first ring but did so on the second ring.“ Good morning Grandma, I'm very sorry for not being able to answer your calls yesterday.Can I come over to your place now? ” Louisa requested. There was a tone of urgency in her voice. At first grandma was angry at her but on a second note she was relieved on hearing her voice again and knowing that she was safe“ I'll be waiting, ” Grandma replied.“ Thanks, I will be there in thirty minutes” Louisa said and dropped the call.Twenty five minutes later, Louisa drove into the apartment of grandma.She quickly rushed into Grandma's suite to find her subtly waiting for her.She looked unkempt and her face was not as bright as she used to be.“ I'm sorry Grandma, I want to speak to you for a moment but pls can you send your guards away from the door” Louisa
THIS SHOULD BE OUR DEEPEST SECRET“ What!! What am I doing in your hotel room? What happened to me? How did I get here?” She shouted at Williams with a confused face.Williams kept on smiling “ Easy.. easy . One question at a time.First of all. You got here with me. You came with me last.And we enjoyed ourselves very well right. I guess we burnt a lot calories to be honest.But wait. Are you trying to tell me that you don't remember anything? ” Williams asked feigning surprise.Louisa went numb. She needed so soothsayer to tell her what had happened.Williams has had his way with her.She buried her face on her palm in utter regret.“ How on earth did I get here? How on earth did this happen? Was I too drunk? I only took two glasses of wine. Or was I drugged?Oh no what have I done? ” she questioned herself.She looked Reuben who was smiling.Looked around and saw her dress on the floor.At this point she broke into tears.Williams saw her cry and quickly tried to console her. But
KEEP AN EYE ON HIM. HE WOULD BE PUNISHEDNo other man on this earth should hear of this. ” Grandma said.Louisa nodded in affirmation to all she said.She stood and sat beside grandma. Silence engulfed the room again. After about 10 minutes of Silence in the room and knock came on the doorLouisa quickly distanced herself from the misfortune and sat on the couch opposite her. She had stopped crying and her tears were dried up.After checking that everything was alright in the room, Grandma feebly asked." Who is there?" She enquired." It's Robert ma'am " the reply came.Louisa stood up after grandma nodded in affirmation for her to go open the door.She opened the door and it was the guard whom grandma sent to go investigate about Reuben's profile the previous day. " Good morning ma'am. You sent me on an errand and I'm here with the report." Robert said as he walked in and stood in front of Grandma.He stood in full attention waiting to be ordered to go on." So Louisa, the reason
THE CAREFULLY LAID PLAN AND A NEW DELIVERY CAPTAIN Grandma and louisa sat in the room for a few minutes more before she finally left.Louisa drove out of Grandma's house after bidding her farewell. She drove straight at low speed to her house.On her way, she branched at a pharmacy to get an effective contraceptive.On reaching home,she sank in an armchair and began to ponder on what Williams had done.She was teary eyed as she sat lazily in the chair.Williams had caused him so much pain and she had lost her pride. Maybe not known by everybody but to herself, she was not whole.The whole family would be against her if the family is ruined because of her. And the family would only be ruined when Williams released those videos online." Thank God I have someone who still likes me. I would have been dead by now" She thought.She then began pondering on Grandma's words.This was surely a grave secret to keep.No one needed to remind her to keep her mouth shut about this whole issue. B
I HAVE HIM IN MY DEN NOWLouisa walked into Grandma's study breathing heavily as if she was being chased by someone.Grandma quickly stood up on seeing her in that manner." What is going on? Who is chasing you?" She asked looking at her gate to see if someone else would barge in after Louisa." I'm not being chased, Grandma. Just that I am shocked."Louisa replied after gaining composure" And what makes you shocked to the extent of you running around?" Grandma asked with a raised eyebrow." Well you remember the message I sent you some few minutes ago about…" Louisa paused and looked around her. She wanted to confirm if there were no guards around to listen to their conversation. After being sure there was no one, she continued."... the message I sent you about Reuben. Right after that I ordered food online after taking the contraceptives.I was not in the mood to cook then so that was the only option.When the delivery man arrived, it was none else than Reuben" Louisa said in a
THE PERFECTLY LAID PLAN ( PART II)Send the order details of the food you ordered to me and I would take it from there " Grandma said and grinned happily." Right away " Louisa said and quickly reached for her 📱 phone.She quickly sent her details.Grandma made a phone call asking the receiver to report to her immediately. At that very moment ,the cook came around with lunch and served the two of them.The room was quiet. Only the sound of the cutlery set could be heard as Grandma and louisa went on with their food.Louisa was devouring the food fast. She had starved herself for far too long.At the very moment they finished eating and the cook came to clear the table, a knock came on the door." Come in," Grandma permitted.Robert walked in and bowed slightly " you require my presence ma'am " Robert 🕸 said" Yes I did. I asked you to assemble men here for a job tomorrow, how far have you gone with that?" Grandma asked." I have them ready and at your disposal madam." Robert sai
ONE OF OUR ENEMIES GOES DOWN TODAYAfter listening to Grandma's instructions Robert spoke." I have a few questions to ask you ma'am " He said" Go on " Grandma permitted him.Robert cleared his throat " Firstly, ma'am, you talked about locations but you did not mention the names of these places.Secondly about the van, where will it be and when would it be arranged?Thirdly, Reuben would come on his motorbike, so are we supposed to take him with his motorbike, or are we to take him and leave his motorbike behind?" Robert asked.Grandma smiled." Those are good questions Robert. Now listenThe car will be here in five minutes and you will be introduced to the doctor.The car would take you to the first and second locations by the driver. I have everything under control on that side.Now the two locations would be unknown to you, to avoid any discrepancies. However as I said the driver would convey you to both locations.With his motorbike, one of your men would ride it off to a thi
I AM GOING TO BE A FATHER Grandma had just returned home from the courtroom and was in her mansion. Madam Martha and Madam Rebecca were with her, still trying to console her. Grandma could just not bear to see her going to jail. She had broken down in tears right from the courtroom and had to be brought home. They had to bring her to the house forcefully. As they sat down weeping, a knock came on the door. “ Come in please” Madam Rebecca said The door opened, and a guard walked in. “ There are some people here to see you ma'am” the guard said. Grandma was absent-minded about the whole surroundings as she kept weeping. “ Who is that?” Madam Rebecca asked. The guard did not reply. Instead, he stood aside. Three policemen walked in with one other man. The man without a uniform came forward. He had an ID in his hand and a paper in the other hand. “ My name is Mr Andrews, and these are inspectors Jack and Jill, we have an arrest warrant against Mrs Evelyn Anderson, and we
CHAPTER 267Monday morning. CourtroomThe courtroom was set for the proceedings to take place.Reuben was seated with Annabelle and their family lawyer.They sat on the side of the plaintiff.On the defendant side sat Grandma Anderson, Jake’s father, madam Rebecca, and a few new unfamiliar faces.They had two lawyers on the defendants side, The Jakes family lawyer and the Anderson family lawyer.They were all seated and waiting for the proceedings to start.Earlier in the previous day, Grandma, together with her family lawyer, had visited Louisa and Jakes again, and they had spoken.According to the conversation with their lawyer, they were better off by pleading guilty to the accusations and pleading for mercy, in that case, they were going to be pardoned and their sentence was going to be released.They had come into an agreement with the family lawyer for the Jakes family to do that.Both families had no money left in their accounts to drag th
THE VISITThe driver drove into the premises of the police station.The sun shone high above the sky, and everywhere was bright light.Grandma got down from the car and hurried towards the entrance." You are welcome ma'am" one of the policemen who knew her greeted her as soon as she entered." I want to see Louisa now," she fumed, ignoring the greeting from the policeman." Certainly ma'am, you have to wait for just a few minutes. I will be right back with you, " the policeman said with a dry smile and walked back in.Grandma stood in front of the policewoman at the reception.She looked at her with a deadly look, and the woman did her best to avoid the gaze and ignore her.Grandma stood there shaking vibrantly.She could feel her knees hurt from the stand, but she ignored the pain and stood there.Her only aim at that time was to see Louisa and speak with her, and that was exactly what she was doing.After standing for about three minutes, she was already losing her patience.Just
A SCARY REALITYGrandma Andersons Mansion.Three hours later, Grandma had just alighted from her car with the factory manager.She saw madam Rebecca and Martha coming towards her.They all wore sad faces to meet her.There was an awkward silence amongst the trio as they welcomed Grandma, but Grandma did not say anything.She was just smiling through the whole process.The two wondered what there was to smile about the trouble they had at that moment.They went to the living room, and all of them sat around." Where is Louisa? I was told she was coming to the hospital to see me but she never came.Where is she now?" Grandma asked.She noticed that everybody else's face changed at once.She suspected that something was wrong." What is it? Why is no one talking to me?" Grandma asked.She was eager to know what was going on.The manager looked at Madam Rebecca." Have you told her yet?" She asked him.The manager shook his head in the negative" What is there to tell me, someone to speak
ALL IS UNDER CONTROLLouisa and Jakes were pulled out of the police van, with the handcuffs on their hands.They both looked surprised as they could not fathom how they had just been intercepted in the middle of their operation and arrested by the police.The police had confiscated their phones and all that was with them.Louisa had seen Reuben and Annabelle earlier at the scene, while they walked away, after Reuben told the policeman something.She was sure Reuben had found out about their plan and had laid ambush for them." Is this what your plan led us to? In prison?" Louisa screamed out to Jakes when they were arrested.All she got was a caution from the police to keep her mouth shut, with the addition that whatever she said at that time could be used against her in the court.Louisa knew that was the end.They had been caught in the act, and she was sure that the boys were going to confess that Jakes was their leader.She was caught with Jakes at the same time at that scene,
ITS A STRIKEGrandma was in her room in a phone call.It was time for dinner and she needed to go eat.The househelp had served her meal and informed her about it.Grabdma came out to the dunning room when one of her guards entered, with an envelope in her hand." Excuse me ma'am, there is a parcel for you," the guard said as soon as he walked in." Who is it from?" Grabdma asked " There is no sender's address, only the delivery address, and that is here." The guard said.He handed over the envelope to Grandma.Grandma took the envelope and muttered a " thank you" as the guard left.She was curious as to who would send an envelope without a sender's address.Grandma did not touch any of his cutlery. Instead, he opened the envelope to see the contents.The envelope contained a single sheet.She took out the paper and read the contents of the paper." Dear Mrs Anderson, We have not8ced your recent activities, and we know where you invested all your money..We can assure you that the
THE PLACE WHERE IT ALL STARTED"What is going on here?" Annabelle asked in surprise.She could not just fathom what was going on, although she knew she was just about being kidnapped.Reuben held her hand and led the way back to the car, away from the sirens and the people who were being arrested. " What just happened here? Why is Louisa and that man being arrested? Who are those men? " Annabelle asked all at once." Let's sit in the car and speak for a bit.There are still a lot of things you need to know, " Reuben said as he unlocked the car with the remote.He opened the door for Annabelle to sit down and closed the door.He walked to the driver side and sat behind the steering, roaring the engine to life." I'm ready for the questions now, but before to ask, let me begin with narration," Reuben said as he drove out of the parking lot and out of the premises." I know you have a lot of questions. First of all, our date has not been canceled. We are on our way to a new restaurant.
STAGED KIDNAPFriday Evening, 4:30pm, Honeymoon Hotel.Louisa and Jakes were out of the hotel and were heading towards the garage.They were done with all their planning for their mission ahead, and everything was carefully laid out.Everything they needed to make their work successful was ready.They walked into the garage, and Jakes unlocked the door to a new car.They both sat in it as they talked.Louisa had gone there with a car, but according to Jakes, it was too risky to use her car, as it might be identified by Reuben.They had hired a new car they were going to use.They sat in the car as the driver drove out of the premises of the hotel." So we are going there earlier, so we can monitor their movements, they should be there around 5pm, and we should get there about ten minutes before them.Everyone else is ready over there, and this should not take a long time.We will pull out quickly, " Jakes said.Louisa nodded.She was okay with the explanation and how things were go
TWO WAYSLouisa went to the hotel and met with Jakes as they talked for the last time.Jakes made it clear that he had confirmed news from the Brooks mansion that Reuben and Annabelle were going out on a date the following day.He, however, stated that they did not know exactly where and when they were planning to go.Louisa rejoiced with the news as she knew they were getting closer to victory.Jakes told her he had the vans ready, and they also knew where they would be sending Annabelle after they had gotten hold of her.He had a private ship that was on the shores of the seas, waiting for him.He planned on going back home with Annabelle on the ship instead of air.He was doing that for his own safety, at least,until things went calm.After about thirty minutes of talking with Louisa, they finally dispersed, and Louisa went back home to prepare for the day ahead.It was a careful and nice plan they had laid out there, and they were sure it was going
