"Jakes, I'll need a sum of $30000 for my sustenance this month. You know that ever since I asked you for $20000 for my last antenatal appointment, I haven't disturbed you. So, I don't expect you to complain about this, from your beloved Michelle."Jakes had just finished reading the text message Michelle sent to him while he sat down in his office.Michelle's demands had now become very excessive lately. He had sent $20000 for her antenatal appointment barely two weeks ago, and now she was asking for another $30000. Her demands were now beginning to bother him, and he thought of what to do to get off her hook. Michelle was in her office downstairs when she sent the message to Jakes, while John and Lucas were with her, as they quietly discussed the next line of action against Jakes. It was their break time, so they decided to make use of the opportunity to talk about their plans against Jakes. "I've sent the message to him," Michelle told John and Lucas. "That's perfect. So let
"Hello, Uncle. We need to see." Michael told Mr Smart over the phone. It was almost closing time at The Class of Verity, and Michael was tidying up his desk and placing some files on his office shelf when he remembered that he was supposed to call his Uncle before leaving."Okay. So can we see tomorrow?" Mr Smart asked. "Tomorrow would have been okay. But it's just that I can't wait to see you today. I can't bear to keep the news till we meet tomorrow. It just has to be today; this evening." Michael said. "Alright then. So where should we meet?" Mr Smart asked. "Let us meet at the usual place - Duncan's house," Michael said. "Okay. Then, that's fine by me." Mr Smart replied. "6 pm to be precise," Michael said, as he hung up the phone.Michael finished clearing up his desk, and then he set out of the company into his red SUV vehicle, heading for his friend's house. Duncan and Michael had been friends for five years, and they seemed to be very compatible because their way of life and cha
"Why did you say that?" Mrs Allison asked in surprise. "His line hasn't been going through, and I just got a call from the company that he has been absent from work since yesterday." Mr Allison said. "Oh, that's not possible. Let me try calling his number right away," Mrs Allison told her husband, as she hung up the phone. She tried calling Michael's number. "Oh, my goodness. Can it be true? I pray it isn't." Mrs Allison muttered under her breath, as she dialled her husband's phone again. "I'll be home right away." Mrs Allison informed. She began to feel nervous and perturbed about Michael's whereabouts.When she got home, it was already late in the evening. She and her husband tried reaching out to friends they knew Michael associated with, but none could say anything about his whereabouts. They discussed what to do next and concluded that they would be going to check on him at his house the following morning.*********It was a bright Wednesday morning. Mr Allison and his wife wer
Mr Allison had informed the police about Michael's fraudulent actions, and steps were been taken to track him down. He decided to call his estate agent, Mr Scott, to keep an eye on his properties, because he wasn't sure of Michael's next move, and he thought it wise to guard his remaining properties and investments.He picked up his phone to dial Mr Scott's number. "Hello, Mr Scott. I'll need you to be careful about Michael. That guy is a criminal. I could assist in providing you with a security agent. Make sure that the estate documents are kept safe and inaccessible." Mr Allison said. "Alright, Sir. I'll take note of that." Mr Scott replied as Mr Allison hung up the phone."The Class of Verity" was now closed down since Michael was yet to be found, and there was no money left in the company's account for its running. Mr and Mrs Allison were bothered about the state of things, and both of them thought of the next steps to take. The shock was so much for Mrs Allison as she wondered wh
"So you think I'll get down with you again, just like I did the last time? Never! I told you that what happened between us the last time was a mistake, yet you still lurk around me as a pest!" Jakes said angrily."Wow! Then it's due time to let everyone know who you are. Since you have refused to agree to my demands, you must be ready to face the consequences!" Michelle threatened as she walked towards the exit of Jakes's office. "Michelle, but does it have to be sex? How much will you like to be paid?" Jakes asked. "Of course, yes. It has to be nothing but sex. Anything asides from sex is unacceptable at this time." Michelle said."Then count me out!" Jakes said angrily. He wasn't ready to do it with her again. He was tempted the first time, but he made up his mind not to go down with her again. However, Michelle insisted on having sex with Jakes because her plans of bringing him down by ruining his finances and that of the company didn't seem to be working. She had tried to get hu
"Mum, I was so helpless. I had no choice but to heed their demands..." Michael said. "Madam, your time is up." A policeman told Mrs Allison. "Alright," Mrs Allison responded. "Michael, I've heard all that you said, and I can assure you that you'll soon be out of here." Mrs Allison promised as she moved out of the room. Later that evening, Mrs Allison and her husband were together in their bedroom discussing. "Darling, do you know I went to see Michael at the cell today?" Mrs Allison said. "Okay. So why did you go?" Mr Allison asked with a frown on his face. "But why? Do you need to ask me such a question? Don't forget that he's still our son." Mrs Allison said."I refuse to indulge a criminal just because he happens to be our son. Leave Michael alone and let him face the consequences of his action!" Mr Allison spoke aloud. "But why? Why will you call your son a criminal when you're not sure if he's in any way at fault..." "Don't tell me that! That boy is a criminal!" Mr Allison interr
Mr Cameron was called to the police station for some questioning. "Sir, we called you to let you know that Mr Michael Allison, your son, will be placed on bail." the police officer said. "Bail?! That is not acceptable. He is guilty of the offence levelled up against him, and he must be charged to court as soon as possible." Mr Allison said angrily.Even if he will be charged in court, he has every right to be released on bail. A woman came here earlier this morning, ready to pay the bail costs, but we decided to inform you about the bail terms since you were the one who ordered his arrest." the police officer said."Hmmm...who could that woman be?..." Mr Allison asked. While he was still speaking, they heard some footsteps at the entrance, so they looked to see who it was. "Oh, here is the woman," The police officer said, pointing at Mrs Allison. "What?!" Mr Allison was surprised. He didn't expect his wife to be so quick and desperate about Michael's release, not even when he knew t
Stephanie had relocated to a small apartment where she planned to be staying with Gerald for the time being. She had some money which she had saved in her account that she intended to use in sustaining herself and her child, till she would be able to get a good job for herself. She sat down in the small sitting room of the apartment she had just rented, thinking of how she started with Jakes, and how he ended up betraying her. As thoughts of Jakes crossed her mind, uncontrollable tears flowed down her cheeks. She was more pained that Michelle was carrying his baby. "Why would he allow another woman to have a child for him?" Stephanie thought to herself. She hated Jakes for that, and she determined never to forgive him.She thought of how she could move on in getting a job, believing that it would help to take her mind off Jakes. "Gerald is a little matured now, so I can register him in a creche." Stephanie thought to herself. She decided to apply to companies around her and put Geral
