The ride from the Police Station down to the Palmer resident seemed like the longest ride for Mr Vin notwithstanding the fact that the distance between them wasn’t so far off. He continued to wipe the sweat balls that emerged from his pores at several intervals. “Could you be a little bit faster Mr Vin?” Jason said to the man whose hands were really shaky and clutched tightly on the steering wheel. “Yeah that’s better now.” Jason said with a smile on his face as soon as the Chief of Police increased the speed of the vehicle. “Don’t worry, this would be over very soon. All you have to do is to arrest your lovely daughter for wrongly accusing me, her husband and also Jacob for assault. Very much easy.” Jason said with a smirk on his lips but that made Mr Vin’s heart beat faster as he wished he had not gotten himself involved in such a situation that was about to make him do the unthinkable. “Who arrests his own daughter?” He thought to himself as he shook his head in uttermost d
“What?” Fiona was the first to speak as she came out from the house through the door. The rest of the people standing very close to her raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes to be sure that what they heard was what the Chief of Police said. Maya twitched her eyes severally to see if her father was actually serious or if she was hallucinating but Mr Vin didn’t budge. “Dad? Is this some kind of joke?” Maya asked with a low tune as she stared at her father who bent his face almost immediately avoiding his daughter’s eyes. Andrew could have sworn that the Chief of Police was playing some kind of prank, but he had always known him to be a serious minded person who had no time for silly jokes. He looked at him carefully for the second time and found himself just as confused as his wife. “Dad? Say something.” Maya said again with a shaky voice as she watched her father stand both motionless and speechless at the same time. “Mr Prescott this is really some kind of expensive j
“Isabella?” Chloe called out, but she met only silence as the young lady seemed to be out of words following the way everything had played out. “Miss Fiona?” Chloe turned towards the middle aged woman, but she was as confused as her daughter. “Look, we have to do something. They just took my husband! How the hell is that even possible? How can Maya’s father have her arrested? I think I am dreaming, someone should wake me up.” Chloe continued, then she pinched herself to be certain that she wasn’t dreaming. She truly confirmed it with the slight pain she felt in her hand after she had pinched herself. “I need some drink.” Isabella announced, then she turned towards the door and went into the house ignoring the drama Chloe was acting. “I think I will join you too.” Fiona said almost immediately, then she gradually turned around and met with her daughter. “Are you guys just gonna leave me here alone? We need to go get them, we can’t just let them be taken away like that. This i
“Hello?” Jason called out to the the Mall attendant again wondering why she was acting as though she didn’t hear him but she still didn’t respond for the second time. “Thanks so much for your assistance Judy, I better be going now.” “Oh thank you Mr Billy for shopping with us.” The mall attendant replied to a man in blue tuxedo suit walking towards the exit of the mall with two ladies in stylish gowns following him behind and carrying heavy files bags not so eager to let go of the smiles on their faces. The man turned to face the doors but then his eyes met with Jason who was at a close distance to the mall attendant, he looked at him from the crown of his hair down to his shoes and scoffed, then he left. “Come on ladies, we still have a lot of things to do.” “Yes Mr Billy!” The ladies behind him said at once with so much excitement on their faces as they followed the man almost brushing Jason aside. The look he got from the man made Jason take a careful look at himself, t
Jason turned towards the man who seemed to be in a hurry but not as much as he was, apparently he was trying to meet up with someone as he continuously looked towards the door. “Please Sir, kindly exercise some patience while I finish up with this gentleman right here.” The shop attendant seated behind the counter said to the man with a polite tone and a smile on his face but the man wasn’t in the mood to listen to him. Looking at Jason with close observation, he scoffed at him after he made a snigger, then he looked at the time on his Rolex wrist watch and stumped his right foot on the floor. “I don’t see any gentleman here, are you really going to make me wait while you attend to him?” He said pointing his finger at Jason with an inquisitive stare on his face. Jason felt really offended by his words, but he wasn’t really in the mood to fight with anyone, his major concern was getting back to his son before he would have woken up knowing fully that he would have been hungry b
“I am sorry my love, I would have been out of this place a long time ago, if not for this man that seems to have a problem letting rich people enjoy their privileges.” “Huh? What the hell.” Richard’s Fiancee smirked, then she took a thorough look at Jason following Richard’s eyes that kept on taking looks of disdain at Jason. “What’s his problem? Does he want some cash or something? Maybe you can offer him some.” “That’s a nice idea Annie, how come I didn’t think about that?” Richard said looking at his fiancee with a smile on his face, then he sighed and dipped his right hand into the pocket if his jacket and pulled out a hundred dollar bill. Extending his hands towards Jason, he gestured to him to take the cash. “This should be more than enough to get you a decent meal and probably a change of clothes.” Richard said looking all over Jason’s rough shirt and pants. Seeing what had happened, Annie sniggered excitedly with her eyes still glaring at Jason’s rumpled cloths. She
Jason looked at Annie trying to recall if he could remember her but as much as the face looked a little but familiar, he wasn’t still able to remember. “Come on babe, let’s go. We have an appointment to catch.” Richard said trying to extend his hands towards Annie. “No babe. Wait, this is truly him.” “Who the hell are you talking about?” Richard asked looking to see if he could be able to remember who his fiancee was talking about. “The Live-in-Son-in-law of the Palmers. Or should I say, the ex husband to Isabella Palmer? She really was lucky to have chased you off.” Annie scoffed, then she looked at Jason with so much disdain rolling her eyes at him. “Babe? This is Jason? The same man that was stupid enough to pour a drink on you?” “Yes babe. This is the pathetic lunatic. I kept on wondering what Isabella even saw in him.” Annie replied Richard still looking at Jason with so much contempt. As soon as Jason heard the words Annie spoke, he started to join the dots toget
“What!” Jason’s eyes glared in shock at the words that came out of Richard’s mouth. Betty as well looked very shocked to hear the ridiculous request of the pesky man. “Yes. That’s what I want, you have to kneel and apologize. Saying it is not enough.” Annie said in support of her fiancé. “You can’t be serious. You expect me to kneel before you and apologize, are you a goddess ?” “Well to you I am a goddess and you will do just that, now kneel!” Annie said with an imperative voice but her words only made Jason get really upset. “You sound really so galling right now, I can’t believe I would be here listening to all these things that you are saying.” Jason said looking at the couple who continued to glare at him in a disparage. “I think I have had enough of this mess. Please pack up these items, I need to get out of this place.” Jason concluded with a firm voice as his anger started to rise gradually above the air. Betty didn’t say a word, instead she did as Jason instr
