The turned billionaire heir

chapter 6

The both of them were handcuffed and dragged to the police station while Jack looked at his girlfriend angrily. She hurriedly hid her face because she did not want him to see her.

Feeling so embarrassed, she decided not to go. All through the times in the van, his best friend would not stop smirking at him. He wished he would rub him off the earth at that very moment. The person he trusted? He kept on wondering till they got to the interrogation room.

" Tell me, how did it happen? What you did could have led to murder, do you know?" The police officer said and brought out his pen and notepad.

" He cheated me and…"

" Officer, that's not even the truth. If I tell you the truth, you will be so scared to the bones!" His best friend said.

Thinking that he may want to tell the truth, he paused and looked at him.

" This guy here is a rapist!"

" What?" Jack exclaimed in shock. A rapist? What has that got to do with what was going on? Hold on, was he being framed or what?

" A rapist? Can you kindly expansiate on that?" The officer said, getting interested by what he wanted to say.

" I visited his girlfriend today because of how close we are at work and he knows about it! But however, when I got there, I was shocked to see that this dick headed friend of mine wanted to rape his girl because she would not give her consent."

" Did you just to there to visit her or you had other motives?"

" No, officer. I went there because we had works that required us to work late at night. It's a mini project and she's also my partner. I had gone there because this man is my best friend, so, it wouldn't look as if I was visiting another man's woman at night.

Unfortunately, when I got there, he wanted to rape her. Can you imagine? I wanted to stop him from hurting the woman but he punched me and that was when the fight occured!"

Jack looked at him in shock. His story was just too convincing. He knew at that moment that he had lost it already. How could this happen to him?

In a system that was already corrupted, so far, it was a rape story, they tend to listen to just one side of the story and put the blame on the other person. That was what was happening now.

" I don't blame him anyway. That's how strippers behave!" He said again and looked at him with scorn.

Jack could not believe what was happening at the moment. Now, he would have to go to jail for what he did not do?

" Officer, this is not true and…"

" It's clearly obvious that this man is saying nothing but the truth! But if this is true, I have no choice than to tell you that you will have to be charged for two crimes: rape and assaults!"

" What? You did not even listen to my side of the story and you dare to just say this?" He asked in shock.

" The story is very convincing enough. Seriously, you're a stripper and so, I'm not surprised that you can do such!" He said again and looked at him with scorn.

" But…"

" I'm sorry to say this but you will have no choice than to go to jail for your actions. If we can do this for more of you, I'm sure that rapists will reduce. As handsome as you are, you're a rapist?"

" That's not even …"

" Listen, it won't be good for you if you contradict yourself. There are so many evidences against you already!" The police man cautioned.

" Listen! There's someone that can shed more light on this issue, I'm sure of that!" He said hurriedly.

It wasn't making any sense to him. How can he go to prison for a crime he did not comit making it seem as if the other party was the victim? He wondered.

He was sure that even though he had been betrayed by his girlfriend, she would want to assist him.

" My girlfriend is my witness. She knows everything that has happened. Please, let me just have a minute with her. I'm sure that she is around now!" He said desperately.

The police officer nodded and walked out of the interrogation room. He sighed and looked at his best friend.

He had trusted the wrong person!

" I loathe you!" He said while John smirked.

" The worst mistake you made is you punching me and now, you have gotten us here. So, you've got to pay for the mistake!"

" You fool!" He half yelled.

" Go on! Hit me and complicate yourself!" He replied

Just when he was about to say something else, the officer entered.

" Can I see my girlfriend now? She's the only one that can tell the truth!" He said in desperation.

". unfortunately, you can't!"

" Why?"

" Mr Jack, I am sorry but you are already charged for two crimes and will have no choice than to go to jail!"

" What? Let me see my girlfriend at this instant!" He yelled out and almost stood up.

" Young man, behave yourself!"

" What do you expect from rapists anyway? They will always want to find a reason to defend themselves!" John replied.

" You have the right to get a lawyer," the officer said and turned to his friend.

" You can leave now, we are sorry for the damages caused by this young man!"

With that, the handcuffs were removed.

" What? He's the one at fault and you just let him leave like that?" He asked but no one relied him.

" Get yourself a lawyer!" He replied again and left while he sighed.

Now, he was all alone. Where the hell did he want to get money to get a lawyer to defend him? He thought and sighed.

Maybe he was destined to be unfortunate. Maybe he was destined to just be unlucky. He would just have to spend the rest of his life in prison without trial if he was not lucky and if he was, he may lose because there is no one to defend him!

He stayed in the room thinking until he fell asleep till the next morning when the door barged open.

He believed that he had come to be sent to the prison already since he was not saying anything about lawyer.

Accepting his fate, he looked at the officer with a sulken eyes.

" You can leave now!" He said and removed the handcuffs. He became so confused. Was this not the same man that told him that he was charged with two crimes? How come he was leaving now?

He thought and looked at him for the last time before he left. It looked as if someone paid for him to leave.

Just as he predicted, the moment he opened the door, he saw a black car waiting outside.

He looked away and was about to walk ahead to get a cab when someone opened the door and walked up to him.

" Sir, I'm here to pick you up!" He said and lowered his head.
