“Tell her I’ll be down soon”Miss. Marie turned back to to show that she heard his request ”Yes Sir”Vincent quickly went to freshen up and put on good clothes.He came downstairs eager to meet Jane.He walked into the sitting area to meet a female figure that backed him, staring at one of the portraits on the wall and running her fingers through an animal sculpture that stood in the hall.“You didn’t tell me you were coming over,” Vincent said with a smile as he slowly walked over to where she stood.“Wasn’t necessary” Vincent’s eyes widened in shock as he immediately recognized this familiar voice that spoke back.“What are you doing here?” Vincent asked impatiently as he slowly started to get furious.“What are you doing in my house!”Jessica calmly turned back to look at a raging Vincent.“Calm down,” She replied in a soft voice.Her words made him even more angry.She had so much guts to even show up at his place with not a single hint of shame on her face.“Relax, I come with b
Vincent was completely confused, he had no idea how to handle the situation.He started pacing back and forth in the room, scratching the back of his head.The deed had already been done and there was no use putting blames on anyone.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.Vincent froze, having an idea of who he thought it might be.“Oh no, wrong timing!”Seeing the look on Vincent’s face, Jessica immediately realised who was at the door.“Won’t you get the door?”Having to watch Vincent express shock and disbelief for a while now, Jessica rolled her eyes in disdain.She stood up to open the door and immediately replaced the look on her face with a smile when she saw who she was expecting.“Jane…” Jessica squealed in a high pitched voice as she attempted to hug Jane who reluctantly returned her hug in confusion.“What is she doing here?” Jane questioned herself as she slowly trailed b
Vincent spent the rest of the evening wallowing in misery.He was in a very bad mood and he felt so terrible.He tried calling Jane’s phone number multiple times, but her phone was switched off.He decided to go to her house and talk to her the next day.The next day, very early in the morning Vincent set off for Ms. Anna’’s residence.He turned down Samuel’s offer of driving him, instead he drove himself.The minute he arrived, he didn’t bother driving into the building.He alighted the car and hurriedly walked in.He knocked on the main entrance for a while until it was answered by Ms. Anna who welcomed him in with a void expression on her face Unlike the way she usually did in the past, ushering him in with a smile.Noticing this, Vincent realised that Jane must’ve already told her mother what transpired the previous day.She asked him to sit, which he did while she went to get him
Vincent headed home right after he finished the glass of wine he poured for himself.The only thing he had on his mind at that moment was how to uncover the truth.He so badly wanted to confront Jessica but he knew that if he did, it could ruin everything.She would get alarmed and would quickly attempt to cover up her tracks.That evening when Vincent got home he paced continuously around his room.After pondering on the issue for a while, he realised that the only way to get any form of clue or proof was to get a hold of Jessica’s phone. Vincent knew Jessica well enough to know that she was always with both her phones, she never let go of them and she never let them out of her sight or grip either.Getting Jessica’s phone from her seemed like an almost impossible task, but he was willing to do anything to free himself from her shackles and at any cost.He had to get his hands on that phone as soon as possible.While Vincent was still pacing in his room, he heard a knock on the door
They maintained the loud silence in the room for a while until Vincent walked back to his seat looking unbothered “Fine then". Now he was certain about which phone contained the information he needed but he still hads to check them both. He went off to bring them a drink and two glasses On his way back to the main parlour, Vincent felt something vibrate in the left pocket of his shorts. It was his phone. When he got back to the main parlour, he dropped the wine and glasses on the table in the middle of the room. Vincent brought his phone out of his pocket and glanced at the screen. It was a notification from a messaging app, he tapped it to see a P*F that Jessica had just sent him. He opened it and studied its contents carefully. According to the test results, Jessica was actually pregnant but were these results even real? Vincent wondered to himself because he knew Jessica very well and there was absolutely nothing that she couldn't go out of her way to do. “How am I sure
Vincent had successfully gotten himself stuck in this sticky situation.What could her password possibly be?When she wakes up, she would eventually realise that she had been drugged and he would be at a very big disadvantage if he is unable to achieve his aim.A thought came to his mind and he decided to try the closest thing to a four digit pin password.He entered her birth year but he was immediately notified that the pin was not correct.Seeing how close she was to her father, Vincent decided to try his birth year, but he got the same message.A notification that the pin was incorrect.Vincent wanted to go through her handbag but that was completely off the charts, he saw such a violation.Just as he was about to try another pin, a message popped up on the screen, notifying him that he had one more attempt to make.At this point, the worst that could happen was that the phone could go into anti theft mode and wipe off everything on the drive.Vincent was very certain that it was
Vincent spent the entire afternoon worrying, he didn’t realise that it was getting late by the minute. As these thoughts ran through his mind while he paced the halls, the tiny voice of a female nurse alerted him.“Mr. Vincenzo”Vincent immediately turned to face a small light skin lady with a small brown envelope in her hands.“How is she?” Vincent said, referring to an unconscious Jessica he brought in a while ago.“She’s absolutely fine,” The nurse replied, handing him the envelope in her hands “The test results”“Thank you” Vincent said as he eagerly collected the envelope, almost snatching it away from her hands.“Is she awake now?”“Yes Sir, you can come in to check up on her”Vincent speechlessly nodded his head in agreement as she walked back into the room.He nervously looked down, staring at the brown envelope he held in his hands.The information it contained could either f
“How did he overhear the conversation she had with her best friend Evie?”Jessica felt the world beneath her sink as she sat up in the hospital bed in a frozen state.A whirl of emotions ran through her, all at the same time.Anger, surprise, confusion and even fear.Both of her hands were cold but she was sweating profusely in the properly air-conditioned hospital room.For the first time, she was utterly speechless and she wasn’t able to defend herself. Her plan was about to backfire fiercely and blow up in her face.It was already retreating towards her like a bomb tied to a boomerang.She maintained eye contact with Vincent as the air in the room seemed to cease while the tension seemed to increase.“You know, I feel really terrible for you” Vincent finally spoke, breaking the deafening silence that enveloped the room for a while as he slowly walked towards her.“Now that the person respon
