THE BARGAIN

"We're not going to do that Chloe, not after all we've been through, I refuse to accept that," Jefferson replied, his anger evident as he ignored Chloe's words.

His heart was pounding, his nostrils flaring as he tried to catch his breath.

"You don't have a choice in this Jefferson, and besides you're not the one making the decision here, you're just Jeremy's worker," Chloe countered to spite Jefferson, her eyes just as bold as she hoped the message had gotten through.

Jefferson was so angry, but he had to keep his anger under control as he didn't want Chloe to think she had won. She was nothing like the person he had known, the person he had loved and trusted. It was more like looking into the face of a complete stranger and he hated that feeling.

"I'm not going to let you go Chloe, you're very much part of my investigation and I was planning on unravelling every missing plot," Jeremy finally replied, his voice was deep and firm but the anger seeping out of him was just a

    CONFUSIONThe sound of Jeremy's phone jolted him back to reality. He wanted to curse who was on the line, but his heart immediately melted when he realised it was Avery calling."Babe, how are you?" Jeremy asked as soon as he answered, his voice was calm but he knew Avery would be able to sense the anxiety emanating from his body.He was trying as hard as he could to regain control of his emotions, but it was clearly proving difficult."I'm fine babe, what's going on love? Have you seen the news?" Avery asked, her heart beating relentlessly. She hadn't been able to put her emotions together since she'd seen the news, her head clearly spinning over the possible solution.She was also worried about Jeremy and how the situation would affect his mood."Yes, dear, I've seen the news, you don't have to worry about that," Jeremy replied, trying to take her mind off things.He knew it wasn't going to help her to dwell on it and worry about their current predicament, and knowing Avery, he com

    DREDGE UP Jefferson was very sad about everything that was happening. His supposed fiancée was proving to be difficult and there was nothing they could do about it."I'm so sorry Jeremy, I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I didn't know she came to me with another motive. I actually thought she loved me, but I didn't know that she was playing me the whole time, biding her time until she would strike," Jefferson said to Jeremy. He was so worried about how this was going to turn out. If he had known that something like this would happen, he never would have agreed to date Chloe, not to talk of proposing to her."Sorry is not going to cut it, Jefferson, everything is a disaster, especially now that we know who your fiancée works for," Jeremy muttered. His face was thinner than usual. It looks like he has not been eating or sleeping well for a while, Jefferson observed."Stop calling her my fiancée. I don't know how I got mixed up with that devil. She presented herself to me like

    SOMETHING ODD"There's evidence?" Chloe asked Jeremy, her confusion was palpable.At first she had assumed that Jeremy was bluffing because of how unserious they were about everything, but the pair of eyes that had stared intensely into Chloe's told her that he was as serious as he could be."Of course there is evidence Chloe, do you think I'm joking this time or thinking about playing with you, I'm as real as you get, so I would suggest you don't play any silly games with me," Jeremy warned, his eyes pointing in anger.He was tired of playing this game with Jefferson and now his bitch Chloe, he just wished it could all be over before it even started, so he could have some peace and quiet for once."I don't know what you're talking about and I don't care about the evidence you have," Chloe said, her tone showing that she wasn't ready to give up, not even for a second. Jefferson was disgusted by her attitude."You don't know Chloe? I'm sure when you see the evidence against you you'll

He looked at no one in particular."She's definitely not who she says she is. We've tried to analyze everything we found on her, but things don't add up. We still have one missing piece," Agent Thompson said. He moved over. To the water cooler and got some water to drink.He looked a little dehydrated, with all the cases he's had on his desk lately, it hasn't been easy for him.His superiors are all over him for working with Jeremy on this case. They are trying to keep it out of the public eye and on the down-low. They do not want to be called incompetent, so they told him to leave the case.But he and Jeremy have come a long way apart from this case they're working on. He believes Jeremy is innocent. The controversy was too much for him to not see foul play in everything that was going on, so he refused to step down from the case."I think this case is even bigger

    FALSE IDENTITY Jeremy ended the call and looked at Agent Thompson and Jefferson. His expression was unusual."Is everything okay?" asked Agent Thompson, trying to read Jeremy's expression."Avery just called me and said she got some information on Chloe and wanted me to come over to the house right away," Jeremy spoke up. He wondered how Avery could do that in such a short amount of time when he couldn't."That's great news, please, there's no time to waste, do you need one of us to come with you?" asked Jefferson, looking at Jeremy for an answer."There won't be any need for that, let me go and meet with her first, then whatever she says I'll tell you later," Jeremy replied."Okay then, just keep us posted on any new developments." Agent Thompson said as they left the hospital. Leaving Jefferson behind.Jeremy drove down to his house at full speed. He was in a hurry to find out what his wife had discovered. If the information could help their case against Chloe and the rival company

    BREAKTHROUGH "Who would that man be?" Jeremy asked, his brow furrowed in confusion. There are so many clues and pieces to the investigation and Jeremy is sure that if he isn't careful enough he won't be able to find any trace that would be positive for him."I don't know Mr Jeremy, but from how upset she was and how rich he is, I think he had something to do with your family. Maybe he was working for your family or part of it," Linda explained, her eyes glittering with sincerity and certainty.She didn't know what Susan was involved in, but from all indications it was something serious."You're going to have to help us with this Linda, anything you can do to help us catch him would be greatly appreciated," Avery added. She was rather shocked that someone who was part of Nathaniel's family was involved in the incident, but whoever it was, they had to bring him to book."I don't really know, he usually comes to see Susan at the hostel and I wasn't really involved in what Susan was doi

    EVIDENCE Jeremy laughed out loud, much to the surprise of Chloe and Agent Thompson. "Are you still talking about evidence, what makes you think we have nothing on you?" asked Jeremy with a grin on his face. "If you have something on me, then present it, I want to see it, otherwise you will get nothing out of me," Chloe muttered defiantly. She wasn't going to spill until they told her the evidence they had against her. "You must be so stupid to think that I am bluffing after all this time, especially now that my company is on the line, what do I have to gain by doing this," Jeremy asserted. He doesn't understand what she was feeling like, why was she feeling so important. Jeremy pulled his phone out of his pocket and flipped through it, looking for something. When he finally found it, he turned the phone around and showed her the picture of his uncle. Chloe's eyes went wide. She was shocked that her connection to Jeremy's uncle has been exposed. She saw Jeremy's pictu

    THE TRUTH Chloe felt her body weaken and shivers run down her spine as she thought about what they had said. There was no denying that Jeremy was sure of his words.Looking into his eyes, she could see how determined he was, there was practically no way she could deny that, not with the evidence staring her in the face."You'd better tell the truth Chloe, I'm not kidding this time, I'm bloody serious," Jeremy threatened, his eyes weren't friendly. He was so irritated by the defence Chloe was putting up and wished she could just get over the charade and get on with things. Time wasn't on their side lately.Chloe looked at Jeremy and back at Jefferson before nodding in agreement, "It's all right Jeremy, I'll tell the truth," Chloe finally murmured, her eyes glowing with her sincerity, the face that said she wasn't kidding this time."You can speak Chloe, I'm listening," Jeremy urged her, his patience was wearing thin and he needed to hear what she had to say."You were right Jeremy,

    CHAPTER 496PREREQUISITEJeremy was shocked that Mr. Valentine turned down his offer. Who turns down such a huge offer when you know you're already in a position of power.Most of the time wealthy people are always greedy and want to fill their pockets even more, especially with money they didn't work or fight for."Why are you shocked? You look like someone who has heard something that has never been heard before. You can close your mouth now," Mr. Valentine said to Jeremy, who was stunned and didn't know what to say.Jeremy closed his mouth, not realizing that his mouth was open because of the shock he was experiencing."From my experience with some wealthy people, they will not refuse money or any free valuable gifts you can offer them. In fact, they'll milk you for more until you're completely dry and have nothing left to offer them before they throw you away," Jeremy said. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.Knowing that Mr. Valentine was a very wealthy man with connections

    CHAPTER 495THE CONDITION Jeremy couldn't deny how he felt as he listened to Mr Valentine pour his heart into his words.There was something inside him that he couldn't deny, and that was the pity he felt for Mr Valentine.Jeremy couldn't stop imagining how he must have felt. The emotions that must have raged inside him, knowing that things weren't in his court any more, and the fact that he had to succumb to the choices already laid out before him."I don't know what to say Mr Valentine, listening to you and everything you've talked about has left me completely at a loss as to how best to describe my feelings," Jeremy said in all honesty, his eyes locked with Mr Valentine's, making sure he saw all the emotions raging within him and the fact that he understood him."You don't have to say anything Jeremy or even try to make me feel better. I have already spent years trying to deal with my emotions and get back on my feet," Mr Valentine cut in with words of his own, his voice calm and

  • CHAPTER 494 ISABEL AND VALENTINE

    CHAPTER 494ISABEL AND VALENTINE Jeremy was taken aback by the intensity of Mr Valentine's voice and the way he was taking the whole situation.He had thought he wouldn't be too angry, given that he had invited him into his home, but the man Jeremy was staring at was full of visible anger and it was obvious that he hadn't got over what had happened to him years ago."I don't know why I find it so hard to believe anything you say, or maybe it's because it's too bad to be true. I know my father and if there's anything I believe in it's the fact that he loved my mother very much, I'm actually sure of that," Jeremy quickly disregarded Mr Valentine's words. As far as he was concerned, he'd never believe the words of another man, especially one who had such hatred for his father."I know it's going to be hard for you to believe me or my words, and it's not that I blame you, it's bound to happen anyway," Mr Valentine said, looking at Jeremy as if he felt for him.He had thought that meetin

    CHAPTER 493THE INCIDENCE Jeremy was very surprised by what Mr. Valentine had just said. He didn't understand what was going on, the idea he was presented with was something he couldn't even imagine, it wasn't possible."You dated my mother, how is that possible? I can't believe it, it can't be true. My mom never told me she dated anyone but my dad," Jeremy said with shock written all over his face.Jeremy wanted to laugh at what Mr. Valentine was doing. He was actually trying to pull a fast one on him, but the seriousness on the man's face made him think otherwise.And if that was true, why would his father send him to Mr. Valentine knowing that he had stolen his mother from him? The story didn't add up for him, he needed clarity."Yes, me and your mother had a relationship before your father came into the picture and ruined it for us," Mr. Valentine muttered, his voice thick and clouded with anger.Looking at his face, you would think the anger was directed at Jeremy, but it was re

    CHAPTER 492NEW DISCOVERY Mr Valentine's words left Jeremy in complete awe as he tried to make sense of what he was saying and what he actually meant.He was stunned and equally confused, his eyes glued to Mr Valentine and his behaviour, equally lost for the right words to use.To say that the words he had just heard were absurd was an understatement, his heart filled with displeasure and obvious confusion."Are you all right Mr Valentine?" Jeremy asked, his eyes locked with Mr Valentine's as he searched for the problem.Mr Valentine on the other hand didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on Jeremy, staring intently into his eyes as if searching for something that Jeremy couldn't fathom."Are you ok?" Jeremy asked again, the tone of his voice quite bold, drawing a response from Mr Valentine who took a deep breath."I'm fine," Mr Valentine managed to say, his eyes avoiding Jeremy's, but the emotion that was coursing through him was completely captured by Jeremy who was still lookin

He wanted to see if he could get any valuable information from her."I haven't been here long," Vivian replied with a straight face."You must know everything there is to know about Mr. Valentine since you've been working with him for so long," Jeremy said with a small smile on his face.Vivian stopped in her tracks as she faced Jeremy. Her gaze narrowed on him like a predator watching its prey. Her demeanor changed almost instantly, she was no longer the girl who had smiled at him a few moments before."Why are you asking so many questions Mr. Nathaniel," Vivian asked, she didn't like the question Jeremy had asked earlier.She worked closely with Mr. Valentine, so she's very conscious of what she says. She could get into trouble, and you never know who might be watching."Well, I didn't ask for a bad reason. I'm very sorry if I offended you, b

  • CHAPTER 489-THE ISLAND

    CHAPTER 489THE ISLAND Jeremy was very shocked because he doesn't understand why the man's tone suddenly changed.This was someone who didn't want to speak with him a few moments ago. Jeremy was already thinking that it was a lost battle but now the man has suddenly just changed.Immediately he had told Jeremy that he had nothing to say to him after mentioning his father's name, Jeremy was very disappointed.He still Wondered why the man had said such a thing to him. They've never met before and he has never done anything to offend him, so why did he speak to him in that manner. What could be the reason he thought.His father only mentioned that they were rivals in some areas back when they were still in school because they were both very intelligent.They also had done some businesses together in the past, doesn't that mean that they are friend enemies, Jeremy reasoned but he didn't want to think much about it.Mr Valentine had promised to cancel his travel appointment just to meet

    CHAPTER 488CHANGE OF HEARTThe words that came out of Valentine White's mouth sent a feeling of unease through Jeremy, who looked at him with obvious surprise.Valentine White, on the other hand, couldn't stop looking at Jeremy, noting the resemblance between him and his father.He had never thought that Nathaniel would send his son to call him. Still, he wasn't willing to change his decision and was determined to stick to his word."You won't help me?" Jeremy asked again, his heart pounding against his chest as he thought about the words Valentine had said to him.It came out too soon, as if he knew him even though they hadn't met or had any kind of introduction.It was obvious to Jeremy that he would have a hard time changing Valentine's white heart to his favour."Of course I won't, as long as your father is alive, I won't help his son," Valentine White said on the phone, his voice thick with determination and the clear fact that he wasn't going to go back on his words.Jeremy was
