Arthur let out a dry chuckle. “Really? So he's the one who has something to offer.”

“Well, Ma'am Jesse did not spare him a bit. She vehemently told him off.”

“She even told him to go and check himself for STDs.”

“Really? She said that to him” Arthur asked with furrowed brows.

“Yeah, she said that.” Nick replied. He was wondering why Arthur was not impressed with the news he just gave to him.

“You don't look good. You should be happy that Jesse was able to confront him and put him in his place.”

“Yeah. I'm impressed with Jesse. However, I can't be happy until I get justice for all his victims. Who knows if he hasn't infected any of them with STDs.”

Arthur's phone soon began to ring and he said to Nick. “See you later.”

It was Benita calling and he didn't want to answer the call before Nick.

Swiftly, he hurried out of the place, leaving Nick confused.

“Hello, did he call you this morning?” Arthur asked the lady at the other end of the line.

“Sir, I just got off a call with him. He said

    “I hope you did not call anyone here?” Hans shot her a glare before lifting himself from her body.“Stay here.” Without another word, Hans went ahead and opened the door slightly to behold two policemen standing outside the door. He was startled at first but decided to compose himself. While standing at the door and blocking the men from having access to his office, Hans asked them.“Yes, officers. Is there anything I can do for you?”One of the men wanted to say something when he saw Benita standing behind Hans. She looked distressed and like someone who fought with someone or something.“Who's she and why is she like that?”Hans turned around and saw Benita. “Oh, she's a staff member who I asked to buy some things for me. She was about to leave when you guys knocked on the door.”“That's not true officer.” Benita added and the two men exchanged looks.“Miss, what did you say?”“He tried to force himself on me.”Hans turned around and glared at her.“What are you talking about?

    “That is no conspiracy. Everything is staring right before your face.”The officers scrutinized him and saw that he was putting on the same clothes as the one in the video. It was also the same for Benita. She was still putting on the same clothes they also saw in the video how she looked when she came to the door.“Officers, that's not the only thing that happened today. He also tried to molest and blackmail a married woman earlier.” Jesse took the phone and brought out the video of what transpired between him and Mrs Vivienne.After careful scrutiny, the policemen decided to arrest Hans.“We're sorry Mr Hans, you have to follow us to the station.”Without wasting any more time, the policemen began to take Hans away. Arthur, Jesse and Benita followed behind. Because of the noises that came from Hans’ resistance, most of the staff at the place came out to watch what was going on. Nick also happened to be passing by at that time and was dumbfounded to see Hans being whisked away by so

    Arthur got Benita to the hospital and her samples were collected for running some tests. They were asked to wait for the results.After a few hours, they got the results for the various tests that were run on Benita. Fortunately, she was safe. Benita was smart enough to clean herself up after every intercourse with the man. She was afraid of getting pregnant because Hans never uses protection on her.Benita regretted ever letting him have his way with her.“It's negative. I'm clean.” Benita said to Arthur and went ahead to thank him for all his help.“Thank you so much Sir. I would have still been a slave to that dreadful man if it weren't for you.”With a smile of satisfaction, Arthur patted her on the back and said. “You're welcome.”He dipped his hands into his pocket and took out some cash. “Here, take this money and get your mother out of his house. You both can lodge in my hotel first while you look for a good place to rent.”Benita was at a loss for words. She wanted to refuse

    “Are you the man I've been speaking with?” Arthur asked the man and he nodded and handed over the phone to him. He didn't dare ask Arthur any question after confirming that he was the one on the line “The police are on their way.”“Thank you for informing me and for this.” Arthur collected Jesse's phone before inquiring. “What really happened here and how did it happen?” Arthur tried to inquire about what happened at the place.“The lady stepped out of the mall and was making his way to her car. I guess she was still on a call with you when some men on black clothes and masks came out of a van and took her away.”While the man explained the whole incident to Arthur, the police arrived at the place and he also told them what happened.Arthur waited for the policemen to retrieve the footage at the place. Nick also came to meet up with him.“I heard what happened. Jesse has just been kidnapped.”Arthur was still puzzled and didn't say anything to him. He just kept shaking his head.“I'

    Arthur picked up the call. “Hello Jenn.” Arthur was nervous as he answered the call.On the other end of the line, Jenny was confused. Why does Arthur have Jesse's phone? After thinking about it, she deduced that the couple must be together.“Hi, Arthur. Where's Jesse? Why do you have her phone? Is she so busy that she had to give you her call to answer?”“Jenn, uh, Jesse is actually not busy.” Arthur kept thinking of a way to break the news to Jenny.“Come on Arthur, talk to me. You're getting me anxious. Did anything happen to Jess?”Arthur turned to Nick and he nodded at him. Nick wanted him to go ahead and reveal the truth about the incident to Jenny.“Arthur.” Jenny's loud voice jolted him out of his thoughts. Arthur's silence was getting her worried.“Actually, we're at the police station.”“What's happening at the police station? Please, give the phone to my sister, I need to speak with her.”“Your sister is not here. She's been kidnapped.” Arthur managed to tell Jenny and the

    Jenny hurried to meet up with him while Nick continued to leave the place.“Arthur, where's my sister? Where's Jesse?”“Calm down Jenn. The police are already working on the case. I believe that Jesse will soon be found.”Arthur was holding her by the shoulders as she remained restless.“How do you expect me to calm down when my sister has just been kidnapped.”Jenny struggled and broke free from Arthur's hold. They were outside the police station and she began to pace around the place. Oftentimes, she'll turn around and glance at the building as if to run into the place and hold onto one of the policemen's uniform and ask him to find Jesse quickly.Turning back to face Arthur, Jenny stared intently at him for a while before uttering. “I'm sure it's your ex-girlfriend who did this. For the past days, Jesse and I have been seeing some strange movements around our residence. It's as though we were always being followed.”“What?”“Yeah, the last time a car stopped after we've alighted fr

    Arthur stood speechless at a spot. He could not believe that Jenny was blaming him for Jesse's kidnap. She was even calling Janet his girlfriend.“She's not my girlfriend and will never be one. Jesse is the only woman I love.” Arthur spoke to the retreating figures of the ladies. However, no one replied to him.Once Jenny was out of sight, he took out his phone to make a few calls. He also contacted Axel to make the necessary arrangements for Benita's education. He had already made the promise to the girl and won't go back on it.After forcing himself to eat something, Arthur tried to plead with Jenny to eat. However, she was able to come out of the room after much persuasion.“Please, come and eat something.”“Have you heard from the police?” Jenny asked Arthur with a serious face, she was already looking sick from getting worried for her sister's safety.“Nothing yet.” Arthur replied with his eyes glued to hers. “Please, eat something first so you can have the energy to worry about

    “Please, just go back home and let us do our job. We understand that you're trying to help. However, the best way you can help now is by not getting involved so as not to escalate the whole situation.”After a long pause, Arthur nodded at the policemen and instructed Dario.“Please drive back home.”“Right away Sir.”The officers drove away from there while Dario turned to the direction leading to Arthur's home.Meanwhile, the policemen that had been following Janet were surprised to see her pull over at her mother's coffee shop. From where they were watching, they saw her alight from the car and started towards the door of the shop.They had thought that she had other places to go. After waiting fruitlessly for some time, one of the men stylishly went closer to her car and placed a tracker on it. After that, they left the place.The police were certain that Janet knew about their presence which was why she stayed put at the coffee shop.After successfully placing the tracking device

    “Dad?”Arthur could not help but to panic when Gregg suddenly went mute. He had just said something to Bryan. Why was he not speaking again?Tilting himself, he reached out and began to shake his father. “Dad?”“Doctor, please find out what is wrong with my Dad. He's no longer moving.”Swiftly, the doctor went ahead to check Gregg's vitals while Arthur turned to glare at Bryan. He was praying in his heart and hoping that nothing happens to his father.After about a minute, the doctor lifted himself and turned to them with a very sad face. “I think we should take my dad to the hospital.” Arthur suggested even before the doctor was able to say something.He beckoned on Kimora and the guards to come and carry Gregg. However, the doctor stopped him.“There won't be any need for that because your Dad is gone. He's dead.”“No.” Arthur screamed and fell on his father's body, shaking it vigorously.“Dad, no. Please don't do this to me. Wake up and talk to me.”Bryan, who was kneeling on the

    With a stunned look, Arthur rushed towards his father. He tilted himself and tried to lift Gregg's face which was not visible to him. “Dad?”That moment when his father did not open his eyes, Arthur's heart began to pound hard. He thought that Gregg was dead.Turning to face Kimora, Arthur asked him with a raised voice. “What happened to him? I thought you said that he wanted to see me.”“Yes, that's what he said to me a while ago. Maybe he slept off before you came.”Without wasting any more time, Arthur checked Gregg and saw that he still had a pulse before he began to shake him. “Dad, wake up.” “Kimora, call the doctor immediately. I think my Dad's not well.”While he was vigorously shaking his father, the man gradually opened his eyes and called out his name.“Arthur, you're here.”“Oh, Dad. You scared me. Are you okay?” Arthur let out a deep sigh as he kept gaping at his father.He tried to help him sit up but Gregg refused. “I'm ok this way.”“Are you sure?”“Yeah, I'm sure. I

    Jesse stood up and started towards the door but Nick didn't follow him. He was still so dumbfounded.Dazed, he kept staring intently at Arthur and also at the sisters.“Um, Sir….. Do you mean, uh… Did you just promote me as the new manager of this great organization?”With a smile that reached his eyes, Arthur nodded at him. “Yeah, I just did that. You're now the manager of this organization and I hope you'll not disappoint.”Placing his left hand on his mouth, Nick let out a gasp. “Oh my God. Wow!” Out of impulse, he fell on the ground and began to thank Arthur. “Thank you so much Sir. This is really unbelievable.”“Thank you, Thank you Sir.” Nick kept appreciating him. He could not also get himself to address him as Arthur after what he had just done for him.Arthur has changed his status. From a mall guard to a manager. It was indeed a very huge elevation.“It's ok Nick, stand up. You don't have to fall on the ground to show your appreciation. I can already see how grateful you ar

    “But I didn't ask you to kidnap anyone. I didn't ask you to commit a crime. Why did you have to kidnap Arthur's girlfriend? You should have….”“That's enough mom.” Janet replied with her voice raised as she turned around and faced her mother. Her raised voice distracted the others and an officer came to give her a stern warning.When the police officer left, Janet let out a deep sigh before saying to her mother. “It was all your fault, Mom. You pushed me into doing what I did. If you were ever a good mother, I would not have turned out like this and ended up here.”After glaring at her mother one last time, Janet snorted at her. “Just get me a good lawyer. That's the only help you can offer right now.”Stella was about to say something when a policeman came to meet them. “Ma'am, you should leave now. You've had enough time with her. Just go and get a lawyer because she'll be charged to court soon.”Without another word, Stella turned around and left the place to get a good lawyer.Des

    “Please, have pity on my daughter.” Stella's voice was heard as she ran towards them and fell on her knees before Arthur.“Please, forgive Janet. I promise that she'll never do anything like this again.”Stella, Janet's mother, had been informed of her daughter's current predicament. She was also informed of her actions that led to her arrest so she hurried to the station.Even though she pushed Janet into such action, she never asked her daughter to commit a crime just to get money. However, she also took some blame. She had not been a good mother but Janet was still her daughter and she loves her dearly.“Arthur, for old times sake, please don't send my daughter to jail.”The trio watched the woman with disdain and exchanged glances. They said nothing at first. Turning to Jesse, Stella held onto her legs. “Ma'am, I understand that you're the victim. But please forgive my daughter and talk to your boyfriend. I promise you that nothing like this will ever happen again, I'll make sure

    Swiftly, he took out his phone to pick the call. It was from the police and they had found Jesse.Jenny watched in anticipation as Arthur answered the call. She was even distracting his conversations with the police.“Is that the police? I hope they have good news this time?” Although from Arthur's tone, she could deduce that it was the news she had been anticipating.Arthur raised a finger at her and she stopped disrupting his call. However, she was already pacing the place in restlessness.“Ok, we'll be on our way.” With so much delight, Arthur turned to Jenny and nodded at her. “Jesse's has been found. I told you that the police will find her.”“Wow! That's great. Come on, let's go meet her. In fact, I need you to put a call through to that number which just called and let them give the phone to Jesse.”Jenny had started walking towards the car but stopped in her tracks to talk to Arthur.“Hurry up and dial the number. I want to speak with Jesse to find out how she's doing. I hope
