Arrested????
Before he could spell jack Robinson, the police stormed and huddled up on him.
Of course, Gemma must have told them something else.
" Hey!!! I can explain, officers " Theo said calmly staring at the circle of the police officers surrounding him.
" Don't explain, whatever you say or do will be used against you in the court of law. You are under arrest, civilian. Co-operate with us and follow us to the station "
It was unfortunate for Theo as he wasn't spared a little chance to explain his side of the story. The police went behind him and cuffed him aggressively.
" Hey!! Officer, watch my hand!!! "
" Oh!!! Now they are harassing me. She must have paid them a huge amount to frame me " he thought.
His gaze returned to Gemma as a devilish smirk played on her devious face.
" No one will ever hurt you, baby!!! Not even the poor not the rich. That's my sweetie sweetie pie " Gemma pouted touching his wound.
Theo shouted as he was being taken away, " Gemma!!! You know I'm innocent, this is very wrong!!! "
" Tell it to the judge Theo!!! " Richard screamed, mocking him.
*******.
LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT
Theo wasn't given a chance to speak and exercise his rights as a citizen, so he was put behind bars without knowing his offence.
Theo feeling distressed and fatigued, could feel a wave of dizziness come upon him. The environment was very unfavorable for a suspect not yet proven guilty of a crime.
He rested his head on the wall as his butt was getting sore from the hard ground. Then his hands traced to his pocket, where he found his phone.
Why couldn't be have possibly thought of that? His phone.
He pulled it out, unlocked it, and opened the call dialer but stopped midway.
Who was he going to call? Does he have any connection to the outside world? The money he had was still under consideration. Who did he know?
" Useless!!! " Theo screamed, tossing his phone away.
" Hey, keep it down there!! " An officer shouted at him.
Theo heaved a heavy sigh and ruffled his head.
Not long, everyone in the room heard loud footsteps emerging from the entrance of the police department.
A man dressed in an exquisite suit bent down picked up Theo's phone and said, " Here, you'd need this!! "
Theo heard that familiar voice, raised his head, and saw PAUL.
Paul flashed him an ear-to-ear smile, turned around, and went to the police.
What was Paul doing here? How did he know? Is he spying on me?
He stood up and watched how Paul talked to the police in a calm tone. He hopes he gets released in no time.
Minutes later, police came to the prison he was locked in and gave him a dirty look.
" You are freed. Thank your stars he came here. The next time you get into trouble, your family will never see you again "
Theo scoffed, " Like I have a family! "
He got out of the prison and almost fell because the police shoved him aside. Theo walked forward and saw Paul staring at him.
" I don't know if I should trust this man or not!! " He thought making his way to him.
" Did you sign the documents? " He asked ignoring what just happened back there.
" Let's go outside!! This place is not a good place for an heir like you to be " He said, leading him outside.
Theo spotted a nice Lamborghini parking outside the place and Paul casually walked up to it, it was his!!
The doors were opened for them and Paul gestured for Theo to come in. After sitting comfortably in the car, Paul cleared his throat.
" Your answers are needed urgently. Don't tell me you aren't for it. Did you sign the papers??? " He asked.
Theo didn't listen to the words he uttered from his mouth but couldn't help but think about how he got him out.
" How did you do that?? "
" Do what? "
" I...how did you get me out in just a few minutes? A lawyer Can't even best your time " He asked, gazing at him.
Paul smirked and licked his teeth, " You want to know how I did that? Little did you know, the answers were given to you yesterday "
" Huh?? "
" Theo, Theo!! This world is a very easy and complicated one. You can either work against the world or for the world. That was just a simple display of power and influence. I have this power and I intend neither to misuse nor waste it. You have the power, hayes "
Theo averted his gaze from Paul and throbbed his head backward, " All the memories keep flooding back. I want to live a good life but taking over my father's business won't reduce but increase my guilt. The guilt of killing them that day"
" Your past shouldn't interfere with your future. It is what it is. It wasn't your fault and do you think it'll save your father anywhere he is in trouble with his company? His company is going to run down in a few months. The heir needs to take over, you need to take over!!! "
Paul took a piece of paper from a bag and handed it over to him, " Are you going to sign this? "
Wait, what? This was the same paper he had given him earlier today. " Where did you get it from? " Theo asked, curiously.
" Let's just say we've been keeping an eye on you. Sign it "
Theo took the pen reluctantly, stared at the paper for some seconds, and finally signed it.
" Congratulations, Mr Hazyes. Welcome to the business world!!! "

SWISS HOTEL
Gemma was throwing a tantrum in her golden suite when she found out Theo was released. Well, her dad's the owner.
" How can he be released? Who does he know? Who is he? " She screamed.
She picked up her phone from the ground and dialed a number, a very important number.
" I specifically told you to make him spend four days in that dirty place!! Where is he? Don't tell me he was released!!! "
" Ma'am, he was released by a more influential person. There were threats attached to his demands. " the police, his voice fidgeting over the phone.
" Does that make me a less important person? who do you think I am? I have you an assignment and you failed me."
" Ma'am, you need to calm your nerves. A very influential and powerful man came to the station today, though he didn't mention his name. He gave us proof that he was indeed a dark horse. "
" Huh??? Just wow!!!!! "
" Ma'am. I have to go. " the police said and hung up.
" Don't you dare...
Y
Gemma threw her phone again and screamed so loudly that it might have been heard by some passers-by.
Aeeese
" Don't you worry, Theo? I have a plan, and you'd possibly need a protective suit because it's going to wreak havoc on you!!! "
