An hour later, the doctor came to inform Jerome that Eleanor was awake. He went to her ward and saw her staring at the ceiling."Thank God, you are finally awake." He sat beside her bed and held her hands happily."Jerome," Eleanor called out. Her complexion was better, and her tone wasn't that weak."Yes," Jerome responded in a gentle tone."Even after leaving that house, they still wouldn't let me be. Because I was sold to them, they don't think of me as human. Why is it that way?" Tears welled up in her eyes as she complained bitterly. To them, she was nothing but an object that could be bought with money."Don't worry, I wouldn't let anyone hurt you again. They will pay for it. And who said you belong to them? You are on your own. You belong to only God and nothing else, okay." Jerome's tone made her feel better."Thank you very much. Thank you for always saving me." She held his hands and said sincerely."Don't thank me. This is nothing. All thanks be to God.""So how am I going t

Elidad went to his study room. He walked to his filing cabinet, which had three drawers. He pulled the middle one and picked a gun that was fully loaded. "Mia, Cambridge, you have stepped in the lion's den. It was around one o'clock when he drove to the Cambridge mansion. He stepped out of his car and rang the bell. The security personnel was surprised to see him there. "Sir, is there an emergency?" He yawned. "Shut up and let me in," Elidad said in an impatient tone. Since he was no stranger and was the young mistress' fiance, he had no choice but to open the gate for him. "Weird, why would he come here at this hour?" The security man was puzzled. "Anyway, who am I to interfere in the love life of my madam?" He shrugged his shoulders and went back to his tiny room. Since there was a security personnel in the mansion, the hall of the mansion wasn't locked. He walked to the hall and walked upstairs to Mia's room. The servants were all asleep and so he wasn't questioned by any of
It was Wednesday, and Jerome was sitting in his office going through his files. After he was done, he checked his time and saw it was three o'clock p.m. Since he didn't have much work, he decided to pay a visit to his guest. "Bright, drive me to the basement. It is time to visit the guest." He said with a playful tone. Bright could feel his skin prickling. It seems the guest would suffer today. He followed his boss who was walking towards the garage. When they got to the garage, he entered the car with his boss and drove to the basement. "When they got to the basement, he took him to where Mrs Jackson was tied. " Long time no see, Mrs Jackson." Jerome clapped his hands to grab his attention. "You, how dare you kidnap me." Mrs Cambridge said with arrogance in her tone. " Aww, you are still dreaming. You think they will be able to save you. It's been three days since you have been, has anyone found you? No, let me ask it this way, do they even have time for you?" Jerome sat on his
Boss, should we wake her up?" one of the men asked."Leave her. I guess she won't be able to walk, and she will be traumatized forever.""Bright, are you done with the task I gave you?""Yes, boss. The Jackson family will announce bankruptcy tonight," Bright replied."Good, release her tonight," Jerome said."Boss, you have a meeting with Miss Ruth.""Okay, let's go," he said and followed, while Bright trailed behind.... At Jackson's family...Elidad paced back and forth in his room while Mr. Jackson sat on the couch with his hands on his mouth. His wife was missing, his mafia group was destroyed, and his company was now bankrupt. Just what crime did he commit to deserve this?"Elidad, whom did you offend?" Mrs. Jackson asked. He was sure they had offended some bigshot. Someone more powerful than them. "Father, I haven't offended anyone. I don't know what is happening." He too couldn't understand what was happening. He would have known if he had offended anyone but no, he hasn't.
She picked a bottle of wine. She poured some wine into the glass that was on the table. She seductively walked to Jerome. Her head was full of pride. "Hello, handsome." She said in a coquettish tone. Jerome stared at her with no emotions in his eyes. The lady thought Jerome was mesmerized by her beauty and so it boosted her confidence. She decided to take the first step. She was about to lean in his arms when Jerome suddenly kicked her. "Bitch, do you not know your boundaries? How dare you touch me with your smelly body." Jerome's tone was cold. " Mr." The lady cries out. It was so embarrassing. The people presented all turned their attention to her. She pitifully bit her lips. Hoping he would regret his actions. Her expression would have moved any ordinary man but who was Jerome? He didn't care about her and felt disgusted. "Mr. Swift, is this why you invited me here?" He was angry. " I'm sorry, Mr Jerome. I thought it was good to be entertained. I didn't mean to offend you." S
"So Jerome, when are you getting married? You are now rich and have everything; at least you should have a woman by your side," Gaius said."Don't mind him; women are troublesome. Just be single and enjoy your wealth. You can pick a woman anytime you are in the mood," Steve disagreed with him."Tsk, tsk, no wonder your grandmother is busily arranging dates for you. With this mindset, you would die single," Gaius clicked his tongue and said like a disappointed father."Of course, being single is the best thing. At least I won't die young," Steve said in a proud tone."And who said you would live long if you don't get married? Poor you," Gaius said."Jerome, what do you think?" Steve turned to Jerome, hoping he would back him."I think I will have to tell the old lady what you said. My dear, it's not good to die single. No wonder, you don't have sense.""Hahaha," Gaius couldn't hold onto his laughter and laughed out loud."Hey, man, you should be careful of what you say. Who said I don
"And who claimed I couldn't afford such a meal?" Jerome inquired."Oh, Jerome, you remain the financially challenged person we know. How do you plan to pay? With your inexpensive attire? Or perhaps you'll take on a cleaning job?" His voice projected loudly for all the present customers to hear."Indeed, I doubt he can manage this meal. Why subject yourself to disgrace if you lack the funds.""If I were him, I'd have left in shame.""Such a shameless man."The customers ridiculed him, ceasing their meals to stare at him disdainfully."Manager, he is also a customer. Why treat him this way?" The waiter thought his boss was being unreasonable. Does he hold a grudge against him?""Just be quiet. Who are you to meddle in my affairs?""But boss, every customer should be treated fairly, whether rich or poor." The waiter retorted."How dare you instruct me on what to do? You're fired. I don't need you here." The manager angrily dismissed the waiter."I'd rather be fired than work under someon
