Brielle sat lazily in a chair, staring blankly at the app on her phone. She was actually enthusiastic a while ago, but after a while of watching the motionless red dot on the phone, she was starting to get exhausted and somewhat sleepy.‘I’m starting to think that the tracker might be faulty or damaged,’ she thought to herself, sitting up. ‘What if the satellite connection has gone bad and Martins has already left?’ She bit her lips and tried refreshing the app, but nothing changed.“Hey, Nikki,” she turned to her friend. “Are you sure this thing is actually working? What if he has moved?” Brielle voiced out her fear.“If he moves the tracker will alert us, you need to calm down a bit,” Nikki said and groaned silently. She was not going to say it out, but Brielle’s lack of patience was starting to get on her nerves.‘I swear, if she complains one more time, I will leave her and find something else to do,’ Nikki decided in her thoughts.“…” Brielle opened her mouth to say something af
As they continued to discuss their plan, Brielle and Nikki listened in horror, their hearts racing with fear. “Okay this is insane,” Nikki said and opened the car’s door with anger, ready to confront the scheming devils, but Brielle quickly stopped her.“What are you trying to do?” Brielle asked, eyes wide open. “I’m going to confront them of course,” Nikki said. “What kind of devils are they?”“The kind of devils that will do terrible things to keep the truth hidden, including killing you if you try to act without thinking,” Brielle said. She was now the calm and decisive one suddenly. “Look, we have gotten what we want, let’s just go and you can build a case on it, and then devour them as you please in court. Okay?” she said, and although Nikki was hesitant at first, she eventually accepted and got back in the car.Just as they entered the car and ended the recording, Brielle’s phone rang. It was an unknown number, but Brielle had mistakenly answered the call as she tried to pick
"I'm sorry I can't help you." Mr. Temple responded leaving her a bit stunned. She didn't know what else to say when he already greeted her with such a response. "I didn't come here for..." She trailed off. "What? Help? I didn't peg you as a liar." He responded, staring at her with an unreadable expression. Nikki sighed, feeling slightly deterred. She could have sworn that he was going to help her but with the way he spoke, she was having a hard time believing that this was the man that trained her. "You said I could come to you for anything." Mr. Temple stroked the few strands of beards on his chin. "that was a few years ago. You can't expect me to be here for you after all these while. You didn't think it necessary to call to check up on me. What if the firm had folded up? Would you be able to come to me now?" He demanded, causing her to be a bit awestruck. The only thing that went through her mind right now was the fact that there would probably not be any help from him. So
Nikki still didn’t want to give up even if Martins was so too good at covering up his tracks. She knew that he wanted to cheat Brielle and she wasn’t going to let that happen. Apart from the fact that he and Brielle were friends, she knew she was also a lawyer and it’ll be very easy for her to sue him if she got any evidence at least.She knew that they’ll be no one to give her the information that she needed so she decided to take matters into her own hands. She decided that she would follow Martina for some time as she knew that eventually, he was going to slack off and leave some of his tracks Uncleaned.It was going to be stressful but she was willing to do anything for the sake of Brielle. She was pregnant too and she didn’t want her bothering herself.She knew that her father’s condition was already affecting her and she was trying her best notTo act like it and Martins was barely adding to her problems. She hated everything about Martin including his guts and how selfish he
“I’m here to see Alex.” Amelia told one of the prison wardens who stared at her as though she was speaking Greek. She returned a matching glare not wanting to be intimidated at all. They had nothing on her."Who are you and why do you think that you have the right to see him before visiting hours?" He asked her."I don't know why I don't have the privilege to see my in-law, last time I checked, this is the visiting time or is there something you don't want me to know about?" Amelia replied angrily. She had no respect for people who were after their bellies. The warden was tapped by his colleague who nodded to allow her in. She was a family member who was not restricted from seeing him. The first warden didn't just want to allow her in like that. There needed to be peace and orderliness. “Who are you?”“Amelia.”“Wait in the visitors room, I’ll call him for you.”Amelia was seated as she looked around and waited patiently for Alex to be brought to her. It was minutes and minutes wer
"Why don't you stop by my house later tonight?" Brielle inquired from Nikki the next day. She has something very improved to tell her that required that they brainstorm.Nikki glanced at her watch and realized that there was a problem. It was almost three p.m. and she still had a meeting to cover before she could call it a day. However, since Brielle needed her, it was high time that she agreed on what to do."Okay, I'll be there. I hope you have food though because I'm famished," She replied. "Yeah, you don't need to worry, I just need to put some things together, that's a little repayment for your time and energy," Brielle responded half-heartedly. She wasn't really in the mood to cook but had no choice anyway since that was what her beloved friend wanted. "You don't need to stress yourself to prove a point, I could order but I feel like having a home-made meal. You know what? Why don't I make a quick stop at home so I don't stress you out? I could also bring some for you. Whatcha
Nikki's eyes wandered toward the duo who were staring at her eagerly like she was bringing salvation to them."I feel weird." She chuckled nervously but their stares continued."I know, right? We have been waiting for you all day, why don't you get some juice in the fridge? I made it specially for you." Brielle suggested so that she didn't feel weirded out.Amelia on the other hand tapped her foot impatiently as she tried to understand what might be going on."Do you realize that we have a lot to do and I would really appreciate it if we get right into it." She muttered impatiently."Right. I guess we can dive right into the topic. So why are you here, Amelia?" Nikki challenged her. Amelia scoffed at the audacity that this lady possessed to challenge her about her presence in her cousin's house. "You're just a friend but that's beside the point. Now, why I called is to inform you that there will soon be a party, the culprits would be present so we need to be fast about it." She said
Nikki tapped her feet in the car impatiently as they waited for Brielle to come out of Sean's apartment. They had gotten someone to set a camera inside the house to watch what was going on so that they knew the next step to take Amelia also tapped her fingers against the window as she counted one to ten in her head. The plan was simple, Brielle was to go in, seduce Sean and get him to confess to many crimes that he committed so that they could present in the court in three days. "What could be keeping her too long?" Nikki murmured angrily. They still had a lot of places to reach before midnight. Shs wanted to make everything done and over with so that she could take a nap but this was not going the way she wanted."She's not even in the line of vision. We told her to remain in the living room so that we could capture the real footage and present unmistakable evidence." Amelia muttered, their initial ire forgotten.Nikki rubbed a hand across her face as she kept on waiting for the fo
