CHAPTER 47:PERSONAL TIMES."Who the hell are you?" Joey asked nervously, as he had woken up in a strange room. "I think you should take it easy," the lady beside him said, standing beside him."Ouch. Where are my things? My wallet and my phone?" Joey asked, holding his hands on his head as he felt a sharp pain on his head. "Give them to me, I need to take my leave," Joey insisted. "Fine. Here are your things. But try to be careful on how you drink outside next time," she advised him, handing over his wallet and his phone. "You might have entered into a wrong hand.""You mean you picked me from a bar?" Joey gently asked. "Yes. You were all drunk. I sighted you from afar and decided to bring you here because I couldn't trace your apartment," she disclosed. "But if I may asked, why were you drinking that much?" she asked. "I was really in a bad mood yesterday," Joey said, moving to the edge of the bed. "You should mind how you drink. Anyways, am sure you can find your way now," s
CHAPTER 48: GIVING IT A TRYDetective Savannah was home taking her time to unwind from the stressful week she had had, while she waited patiently for the evening to come when Kyle would come and pick her up. She indulged herself in some romantic movie. She was so lost into the movie imagining herself. She was engrossed in the movie and didn't know time had flown. Her phone rang, interrupting her movie session. She hissed and didn't care to see who the caller was until the call ended. The phone rang the second time. She sluggishly looked at the phone and saw that it was Kyle. "Oh my!" she exclaimed and stood up from her couch. She quickly checked the time and saw it was already some minutes past 8 pm. "Hey, Kyle," she said, as she picked the call. "Hey pretty. Are you set?" Kyle asked. "Yeah. But I still need some time to round up," Savannah responded. "Okay. I will be there in few minutes," Kyle said. "Alright," Savannah responded, and she quickly took a shower and dressed up
CHAPTER 49: A THOUSAND QUESTIONS.Justin and his friends had arrived the Mr Bishop Estate, and they were well received. They were in the living room, when Mr Bishop came down to join them. Alex and Duke were astonished to meet the renown billionaire himself. They respectfully greeted him as Justin introduced them.Mr Bishop asked them to make themselves comfortable as they all sat down together. But Alex and Duke weren't comfortable being surrounded by bodyguards. They couldn't speak freely to Justin as they wanted. All they could do was to listened to Mr Bishop speak and respond to any question he asked them. Noticing how uneasy and uncomfortable Alex and Duke were, Justin bent his head, and chuckled softly.Alex who he knew might have had a thousand questions for him couldn't say a word. Justin thought they would have some bit of freedom to converse openly when they would finally get to his room to sleep. But unfortunately, he heard Mr Bishop instructing the chief Steward to
CHAPTER 50: HEART BROKEN.Detective Savannah quickly stood up and walked to the VIP lounge. One of the waiter walked up to her and informed her that the VIP lounge was off limits. "Yeah. It's the person inside I need to see," she said to the bodyguard. "Do you have an appointment with him?" the bodyguard asked. "Not really, but I'd really love to see him, meet with him. You can't deny a fan of his like me access to see him, would you?" Savannah said, cracking up a fake smile."Am sorry, but you can't go in there," the bodyguard maintained his stand.Justin looked through the glass walls, and saw his bodyguard exchanging words with her and how Savannah was struggling to get in. He stood up and walked towards the entrance where his bodyguards were standing. "What's happening here?" Justin asked, looking at his bodyguard. "I wanted to see you, and he wouldn't let me in," Savannah quickly responded, not letting the bodyguard to say a word. "Was that it?" Justin asked. The bodyguar
CHAPTER 51: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS."Hey, man. Do you want us to ask you before you start talking?" Alex asked Justin, while they were still at the bar and were just done attending to Detective Savannah. "But Alex. Don't you think you shouldn't have given my card to that lady?" Justin asked. "You know am not really familiar with this city and this kind new life, so am just taking things easy.""Don't worry, she's not gonna bother," Alex said. "I think what Alex did wasn't a bad idea. I mean, you need someone in your life," Duke said. "You're just letting the experience you had with Samantha make you lose interest in women.""I told you, am not ready to be with anyone and that's final," Justin said resolutely. "Yes, boss. Whatever you want to do with your love life, it's all up to you," Alex said, as he had given up hope in Justin when it came to relationship matters. "We are waiting to hear man," Alex called Justin's attention. "This is what we are talking about. Here, take a loo
CHAPTER 52: THE BREAK UP.Samantha returned back to her house and did nothing at home. She picked up her phone and went through her social media platforms. She checked out posts on Justin's inauguration, and was going through the comments. 'If I had known I wouldn't have left him for Joey,' Samantha thought regretfully."But I need to know if he's already with someone, to know if I still have the chance to get back with him," she said to herself. "I know how much Justin loves me, so he will still take me back if I just apologized. But then. I have to end things with Joey before I can make that move."She dialed Joey's number again to see if he would pick up. Joey didn't respond to the call yet again.Then she decided to send him a text message. The text was to trigger Joey's anger so he could respond if he was really okay. Shortly after the text, Samantha's phone buzzed. She looked at the phone and saw that it was Joey. She quickly picked up the call. "What was that text all ab
CHAPTER 53:THE LETTER.Detective Savannah had reported to the station and was seated with Riley on their desk, as they just rounded up with some research about a particular case.Riley looked at her and smiled, moving his right leg under the desk touching Detective Savannah's legs, as they had seated facing each other."You haven't told me how your weekend with Kyle went, or don't I deserve to know?" Riley jokingly asked."There was nothing good about the weekend with Kyle and I," Detective Savannah responded, frowning her face."Hey, do not give me that response. You think I don't know that you don't wanna tell me?" Riley asked, leaning his back into his chair."I mean our date night didn't go well, as planned," Detective Savannah said."Huh? What was the issue?" Riley asked, looking at Savannah."I don't wanna talk about it," Detective Savannah replied. "But I never regreted following him out though." Detective Savannah picked her pen on the table and brought out some papers and st
CHAPTER 54: HURTS OF THE PAST."You're not gonna tell me where you heading to?" Riley asked Detective Savannah, as she just stood up and walked out of the office heading to her car."No. Am coming with you," Riley said, as he quickly grabbed his gun and ran after Detective Savannah."You take care of things at the station. I will see you soon," Detective Savannah said, and opened the car door, she got in and drove off.Riley stood at the entrance of the station looking at Detective Savannah as she drove off."Where's she headed to this time without letting me to follow her?" Riley asked himself, wondering."But I must hand it to her. She's got guts. That's most likely one of the reasons she became a Detective at such a young age," Riley voiced out his thought."I like her determination.""Jeez! You startled me," Riley jerked. Detective Cole was right behind Riley."Once she has determined to do a thing, there's nothing anyone can say or do to stop her," Detective Cole said."How long
