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,
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
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
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
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
THE PARCELReuben took the parcel from the front desk and walked hurriedly to his motorbike.He had only a few minutes left for the due time for delivery, and this client seemed like a wealthy and arrogant person from his voice.In all his one year of being a delivery Captain, he had always tried his best to deliver his parcels on time and in good shape to avoid being scolded by angry and frustrated clients and worse, his company.This parcel seemed unusually lighter but he had no concern about it because his only duty was to deliver.He qúickly flipped the parcel carefully into his backpack and swiftly tucked it on his back.He took his checklist to find out that the supposed parcel was a pack of condoms.He frowned. ‘ Who orders a whole pack of condoms?’ He thought.At that moment, he got angry at the receiver of the parcel..‘ Well maybe there is a reason to celebrate’ he said.Suddenly, he remembered that the day was his first marriage anniversary with his wife Louisa.He smiled f
FED UP WITH IT ALLReuben left the premises of the hotel and headed back to the office. He was angry about all the things that had happened in the past few minutes.Although he had had enough humiliations from and maltreatment from his wife's family, he never knew his wife could cheat on him with another man simply because she thought he was broke.Yet he smiled againIn his family, a series of tests was run for the person to inherit the family property. On his own side it included staying with his wife and her family and acting like a broke man.True to their assumptions, he had been maltreated by every member of the family from the oldest person to the youngest including Louisa herself.Now it was time to reveal the truth to Louisa and let her know his true identity but thinking about what had happened a few minutes ago, he concluded it was not necessary to do so. He headed straight to the office and after confirming the delivery of his order he went back home.*******In the house
MEGA BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION Everyone of Louisa's family had gathered for grandma's birthday party in the family house.The party was a befitting one for grandma considering his status in the family.Everyone was happy.Grandma called Louisa to enquire from her the whereabouts of her husband, Reuben.She needed him to clean the mess at the party. “ Louisa, where is that wretched Reuben of yours?. Summon him here now to clean up this place” Grandma said to Louisa“ Sorry grandma, he did not show up for the party today. He refused to attend your party despite me telling him it's compulsory for him to attend. Louisa said, faking a sad face.“What!! ” Grandma shouted.Grandma's shout brought everyone's attention to her. The music playing in the background was stopped immediately and everybody's gaze and focus was on grandma and Louisa.“ Why would that stupid poor brat refuse to attend my birthday party. Who the hell does he think he is? What impudence!Call him here now!! ” Grandma said an
