CHAPTER 65: EMOTIONAL BRIBERY.Detective Savannah reported to the station early morning the next day. She sat on her desk thinking on how to go about the Joey's case. She never wanted Justin to know she was a detective for now so she could achieve her aim.And now that the case had been assigned to her, Justin would definitely find out soon enough. So, she thought of what to do about the situation.'Should I present this to Riley or I should approach the boss?' she thought.While she was still in thought, her partner Riley arrived the office. "Good morning," Riley casually greeted her, as he was upset that she didn't grant his request of going with him to have a drink together the other night.He had planned to let his intension known to her that night but she didn't give him the chance to do that.It wasn't really Savannah's fault, because she thought it was a casual hanging out. So she gave her time to something more important to her, which was making her friendship with Justin str
CHAPTER 66: ON THE RUN."I believe it's something in the house that wasn't properly kept that might have fallen," one of the cops guessed, as they were in the car parked at Joey's house watching to see if he could come home to pick something."Won't that be the guy who just walked passed here?" the second cop asked as he second guessed what his colleague had said."Let's go check," he said, and they both hurriedly came down from the car and rushed to see what it was exactly. The door was locked and there wasn't a way they could go in except broke and entered, but that was out of the plan for now."I told you that wasn't a sound of someone in there," one of the cops said, as he tried to look through the window, but saw nothing.The other cop observed and decided to go check behind to see if there was an entrance to the house, as he wasn't satisfied with them peeping through the window.He got there and saw that there was an entrance to the house. And he noticed that someone had sneake
CHAPTER 67: DESPERATE MOVE.Mr Adams arrived his house as he was done from his office. He had heard the news about what happened at the Cap Industries, and how his son was meant to be arrested.He couldn't tell if what he heard that his son did was true or not. Joey never gave room for his family to be able to tell whether or not he could do such a thing.All they believed was what Joey always told them about the prestigious position he held at the office, hence the reason for his life of extravagance.He thought Joey could be in trouble as he hadn't heard from him, and neither did Joey find his way to Texas. So Mr Adams decided to put a call across to him.His both lines were unreachable. Mr Adams became worried, wondering if anything wrong had happened to his son.Magdalene his wife came out from the room as she noticed her husband had arrived from work, and he was seated at the living room."What was this that I heard about Joey?" she asked, looking tensed up."I don't know as well
CHAPTER 68: A THOUGH PROPOSAL.Joey was staring expectantly at the man who had approached him at the bar, so he could state whatever he wanted them to do as he couldn't wait to be free from the mess he had put himself in."You're sure you gonna do whatever I tell you to?" the man asked Joey so he could be sure."Just go on with it already," Joey said, as he couldn't wait to hear what the proposition was."We're gonna pay some thugs to kidnap Justin and get rid of him," the man proposed."You mean kill him?" Joey asked, opening his eyes in fear. He was a bad guy that had no truth in him, but murder was out of the question. Not even Justin his cousin."That's too much please. I never intended killing anyone," Joey rejected the proposal. "I did hate Justin because he was smarter than me. But to kill him, I can't do that.""Well. In this case you have no choice," the man said."What exactly are you trying to say?" Joey questioned."I mean, you rather do what i want you to do or you will b
CHAPTER 69: UNEXPECTED TRIP.Mr Adams and his wife arrived at the airport and they headed to New York City. They actually did not know how they were going to approach Justin, or where they were gonna meet him.They decided to make the trip nonetheless, believing that after they had arrived New York City, they were definitely going to find a way."You have to shove away every hatred you have against Justin," Mr Adams advised his wife, so she doesn't get there and begin showing herself as usual."I mean why will I behave in such manner when my son is at stake here," she said."I just needed to tell you because of how you get irritated by his sight alone," Mr Adams said."I mean, I should but I will try my best just because of my son," she said."I really do not understand why you hate him so much. You took care of him from childhood," Mr Adams wonderd."All of a sudden you developed some sort of hatred for him. You know I can't say anything about all you were doing to him because he's y
CHAPTER 70: UNEXPECTED SURPRISE.Mr Adams decided to take the advice of his wife, of not heading to Joey's apartment. The taxi driver drove to a nearest hotel. They got to the hotel and the taxi driver parked his car and they both came down from the car Mr Adams looked round observing the place and saw how beautiful it looked outside. He nodded his head in admiration and they walked into the hotel.They approach the reception area, and they saw how the place was classy and welcoming. Mr Adams walked towards a receptionist that was seated at her desk."Hello. We need a room," Mr Adams said, still looking round and observing."Okay. You're welcome to Courtyard by Marriott New York," the receptionist said, smiling softly, as she quickly attended to them.Mr Adams looked at his wife as he heard the amount they were to pay for just a night. She looked at him as well but didn't say anything, as she was trying her best not to provoke her husband further.Mr Adams moved towards her and whisp
CHAPTER 71: NOT GOOD AT ALL"Please Justin do not leave us here without a word," Mr Adams pleaded, as Justin noticed them on their knees and wanted walking away."I know how terrible you feel about us. I most especially, but please listen to what I have to say," Mrs Adams said.Justin walked back to his car and didn't say a word to them. They had deceived and lied to him so he could come to them and be embarrassed in public.His anger towards them had just multiplied. There was nothing they could do to change his mind towards that family.Mr Adams and his wife ran towards the car still kneeing down and pleading. They knew if they let Justin go without hearing from him, they were never gonna get a chance to reach him again.So Mrs Adams ran and laid in the front of Justin's car, crying and asking the driver to run her over if he wanted.One of Justin's guard came out the second car as they had all gotten into the car and wanted to leave. He came out and grabbed her on her both of her l
CHAPTER 72: THE PARTY.Mr Adams and his wife tried all they could to get to see Joey, but they couldn't find him. They wondered where Joey had ran off to and feared the worst, wondering if he was still alive and okay.They were left with no choice than to return back to Texas as they couldn't afford paying for extra nights.They got into a taxi and headed to the airport so they could return back to Texas. Shortly after, they arrived at the airport and came down from the taxi. Mr Adams grabbed his suit case and walked ahead of his wife, as she followed behind.Suddenly her phone vibrated, she stood and reached into her hand bag and brought out the phone. She looked to see who was calling.She saw a strange number, so she quickly picked to know who the person was."Hey mum. You guys need to get out this city," Joey said, as he had seen the parents when they were trying to look for him, but he didn't approach them."Joey is that you?" she asked in shock, gesturing her hand as she called
