As soon as Diana spotted the gun Jeffrey held, she gasped and moved backward, though she was still on the floor.“I told you to choose an option, not move backward!” Jeffrey yelled, then, Diana paused as she trembled.“I’m sorry, please, don’t shoot…” Diana pleaded, causing Jeffrey to chuckle like he was victorious or anything of that sort.“Better! Now, get back to that spot,” Jeffrey instructed, and instantly, Diana moved to the spot where she was tied up.With that, Jeffrey tied her up quickly, then he wrapped the thick fabric around her mouth. Afterward, he lay on the bed and dozed off. Meanwhile, Diana tried to escape while he was asleep, but she was too exhausted to even think of an escape plan. Whatever happened earlier had taken a large toll on her, and it drained her energy. The only thing she was able to do was to sleep and prepare an escape plan the next morning.***The next morning, Jeffrey left the apartment very early in the morning to buy some cooked food, before he w
“I didn’t do anything!” Jeffrey yelled, while a police officer led him to the investigation room, and the police officer muttered, “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.”“This is a misunderstanding! I was helping Mr. Alex!” Jeffrey lied, hoping the officer would believe him. Instead, the police officer pushed him into the investigation room, as a detective enters.The detective sat across from Jeffrey, then he uttered in a husky voice, “Mr. Private investigator, you know you are in a lot of trouble, right?”“Look here, I didn’t do anything,” Jeffrey replied, while looking at the detective directly without glancing away, “I was only trying to help Mr. Alex. He told me that his wife was missing, so I helped him to find her.”“You are very funny, Mr. Jeffrey. You found his missing wife, yet you shot her.”“I swear... It was a mistake, as a result of my nervous self.”“Well... I don't know what to say, because all what y
“Mr. Jeffrey, you have a visitor. Keep it civil,” A prison guard exclaimed, before leading Jeffrey to the visitation area.Meanwhile, Jeffrey was a little surprised to know that he had a visitor, since none of his family members appeared at his and Diana’s wedding, talk less of visiting him when he is in prison, so who could it be?He sat down at one of the visitor booths, expecting the so-called visitor, and shortly afterward, a woman, dressed in a short, red gown walked over to the other side of the glass barrier. She picked up the phone on her side and she muttered softly, “Hey, it’s Bella. Long time no see.”With that, Jeffrey rolled his eyes, recognizing Bella as soon as she said her name. To be honest, they met each other at Rex’s villa, and the only conversation they had was that of Bella. She introduced herself to him, and she also tried to flirt with him, though, he disregarded her quickly, because he was still crazily in love with Diana.Then, Jeffrey sprang to his feet, n
Alex walked out of the restaurant and a few minutes later, his Mercedes car was parked neatly in Rex’s villa. Then, Alex spotted a debit alert notification with a sum of 10,000 dollars sent to an orphanage home a few minutes ago. He shook his head, assuming that he sent the money, but he didn’t recall associating with any orphanage home. Or did someone hack his account?No, that’s impossible. His account is a premium account with robust security measures, and possibly, Diana might have done it, since he gave her access to all the money in his premium card.He walked into the villa swiftly, then questioned Diana, who had a wide grin on her face, “Huh? You came early?”“Yes, I-” Diana stammered, before glancing over his shoulder to cook up a lie, “I took a leave because I had a throbbing headache, and I had to meet a doctor.”“Gosh, are you alright now?” Alex asked with curiosity tinged in his voice.“Yes, yes, I’m fine,” Diana replied, causing Alex to sigh in relief before he glance
“Great!” Jeffrey muttered to himself, then he turned around and picked up the phone.“Great choice, Diana,” he uttered softly, causing Diana to close and open her eyes before sighing.“What do you want from me? Money?” Diana questioned quickly.“Rude, but I don’t need your money, I want to get out of here,” Jeffrey replied, before whispering, “Withdraw all charges against me.”“What?!”“That is not the only thing I want from you… but, I want to be out of here within 48 hours, understood?”“Yes, I understand,” Diana replied with a quivering voice, while she nodded. Afterward, a prison guard barged in, then he exclaimed, “Time’s up!” before approaching Jeffrey.***At Rex’s villa, Diana was quick to approach Alex who was having his lunch in the bedroom.“Alex, are you busy? Can we discuss?” Diana questioned softly, before fiddling with her fingers since she was nervous and was not aware of how Alex would react to her next statement.With that, Alex glanced up at Diana and he responded
“What? Orphan? But Diana did not inform me about that visiting any orphan…” Alex muttered, his voice trailing off with disappointment.With that, he questioned Theo, “Is that all the information you have? Or is there more?”“There is… Mrs. Diana and Jeffrey made a reservation at that famous restaurant that is your favorite, and sir, I think you need to go there too,” Theo responded, causing Alex to huff.“Go there? I know Diana, it’s possible that she may be trying to settle things amicably with Jeffrey.”“Sir, I don’t think so… It seems like a date instead…”“Date?” Alex paused, before his fingers traced the furrowed lines that were over his eyebrows. Afterward, he clenched his fists and continued his statement, this time, with an angry tone, “How dare you say that about my wife?”“I’m sorry, sir,” Theo uttered with a quivering voice. He knew Alex would yell at him, or maybe sack him, but it itched him to tell Alex the truth. “If you mention such again, you will be dismissed from yo
“I’m worse? Oh, come on, what can be worse than a mother abandoning her biological daughter?” Bella scoffed, then, when she noticed that Alex tried to stand again, she rushed towards him and she placed his arm around her shoulder.She helped him to his room, and afterward, she returned to the dining room to confront Diana who watched how Bella assisted Alex to his room.“What are you doing here?” Bella inquired, folding her arms quickly.“I came to meet Alex,” Diana responded, then, she moved to the other side to walk away, but Bella blocked her path.“You can’t. He is fast asleep,” Bella hissed.“Then I will wake him... It’s something urgent I need to talk about,” Diana mattered, before walking past Bella hastily.“You have no shame at all...” Bella hissed, making Diana pause in her tracks.“First, you abandoned your daughter at an orphanage home, then you deprived her of the parental love she deserves-”Before she could continue her statement, Diana replied, “Yes, I did! But now, I
Jeffrey’s voice rang throughout the room, causing Melissa to mutter softly, “Please, Daisy is here.”“Yes, mother-in-law,” Jeffrey replied calmly, while Alex walked out of the house, with Bella trailing behind him hastily.“Get into the car, we are leaving,” Alex uttered tartly.“What?!” Bella exclaimed, “We are here, now... You want us to leave?”“Yes,” Alex replied firmly.Meanwhile, in the dining room, Diana returned and she was a bit surprised to notice Alex and Bella’s absence.“They left,” Jeffrey uttered after he sensed her surprise.“Oh,” Diana replied, before her gaze fell on Melissa who had a worried expression on her face.“Are you alright?“ Melissa inquired with concern tinged in her voice and Diana responded with a nod, “I’m fine.”“Maybe you should consider seeing a doctor... You know, it might be a kind of disease or so,” Iris suggested quickly, causing Melissa to nudge her elbow and stop her from talking.“Sure, I will,” Diana replied, then she turned to her plate.Inw
