Chapter 31
The news of Jaxon and Henry's release came as a shock to James even though he had wanted to release them later on for the sake of letting Anderson keep his job.He knew Mr. Sterling doesn't have authority over the ESU and wondered how they were able to do it.He decided to call Eric and ask him to find out how it was possible, since Eric used to be a policeman.“Hello, James. Good morning.” Eric greeted him from the other end.“Hello, Eric!” How are you doing and how's Mary and Claire?”“They are fine... Diamond Ville is such a nice place, I'm really grateful for letting us own it.” Eric replied. After Claire was discharged from the hospital, just as James promised, he couldn't not let them return to their small apartment and so he handed over Diamond Ville to Eric and his family, and had taken residency at Sky Suites for the meantime.“You're welcome my friend.” He said and proceeded to ask, “Have you heard Jaxon and Henry are on the loose.”“Yea. The informant also told me about it

A day passed by very quickly and the awaited Press Conference was to begin at 11:00 am.James put one final call across to make sure everything was in order and they don’t get any more surprises. He was going to be around the venue but he himself would of course not make an appearance, he planned to just sit in the car and wait.“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, for your availing yourself and letting us take from your precious time…”Mr. Sterling was saying inside. The conference had begun. Game time.“I would like to invite Mr. Richard Carl, a good friend and business partner of mine, dating back for some years now up here to address you all and I promise whatever he says is the truth, he has always been known to speak truths backed by facts and substantial evidence.”“Hello everyone, I am Richard Carl. Thank you for your patience and kindness. What I am going to be telling you today isn’t exactly good news but as the saying goes, ‘A Stitch in Time Saves Nine’. it has come to our

"Miss Ellen, there is a call for you.” Katrina, Ellen Princeton’s PA announced through an intercom on her work desk.“Who is it? Direct them to my line.” She said.“She didn’t give a name, just that you’d know who she is after speaking with her.” Katrina answered.“Okay then, put me on.” was Ellen’s reply. She couldn’t be sure who it was on the other line but she definitely had her suspicions.“Good morning, Ellen Princeton here. And please who am I speaking with?” She asked, unknowingly holding her breath.“Oh Ellen, how are you? God knows I have missed you and have been trying so hard to get in touch with you. What has been going on?” the caller asked.Ellen kept holding her breath for some seconds and then breathed out with both relief and a pang on her heart. The caller is as she had suspected.“I am doing well and you, how are you Lana?” she asked back.“I am okay, just dying of boredom here and I have missed you so much we need to hang out again, what do you say?” Lana Wane sugg

The next day was here faster than anyone thought and not even fast enough for Ellen.“Ellen? Ellen! It really is you, I was scared you wouldn’t want to see me.” Lana said, running the remaining steps towards Ellen.“Why wouldn’t I want to see you?” Ellen asked. They both stared at each other in the eye before hugging. None of them had thought they would cry but they did and for a long time.“Come on now, are we really going to just sit here and cry? That is not the reason we met today.” Ellen said still sniffling and wiping her nose with one of the tissues on their table.Lana reached out and held Ellen’s hand in hers, “`I know Ellen, I just cannot help it. I just thought of all this things, when we first met too-God I felt so stupid-and then everything that has happened since then, how we almost lost that friendship and it all just hit me in a strange way and I couldn’t help the tears that came…” she was still talking and the tears threatened to come again.She tilted her head up and

It took Lana three days before she could finally convince El to see James for just one time. They had been talking on the phone when Lana brought it up again. “...so what do you say El? Would you see him please?” She heard Ellen audibly sigh and then held her breath in wait for the response. “Okay then, fine. I’ll see him, today, 4pm.” Ellen finally said. Lana could breath easily now she could even scream, “Thank you so much El, thanks.” she said. “I’m doing this for you Lana, I hope you know that?” Ellen said sighing. “I know, I know and I am grateful, I love you El.” she said. “Okay okay, let him know, same place we met the other day.” Ellen said and somehow Lana could hear her smile in her voice although she couldn’t exactly say what it was that could be making Ellen smile so much. “Okay bye then. I’ll call you again.” Immediately Lana finished the call between herself and Ellen, she rang James. James was mopping in the company when his phone rang. He brought it out from

“All good?” he asked through her window, she looked a little startled but answered.“Yes. No, I don’t know. My car was all fine and now it just wouldn’t start.” she said.“Why don’t I bring you home instead and we can figure out what to do.” he said repeating himself from earlier.“I called someone already, they should be here soon.” she said.“It’s late now, El. I’ll take you home.” he said not asking anymore.She picked her bag again, got out and locked the doors then went with James.“Really sorry for the inconvenience.” she said as soon as they began to roll out.“Inconvenience? Not at all, taking you home can’t possibly be an inconvenience though, never.” he added that last part in a whisper that made her smile.“If you don’t mind my asking, what happened between you and Alisha, I heard from Lana.” she said.He explained everything to her as it had all happened.“She is very ambitious and well she chose that ambition, there isn’t much one can do in such cases. I just get the feeli

The next morning, James and Ellen returned to the restaurant not to dine this time, they went there with a skilled mechanic to take a look at Ellen’s car and to find out what really happened to it.“So how is it?” James came around and asked the mechanic, his name is Victor.“Someone tampered with the car, you see this place here where it looks like a couple of cuts were made? The person who did this was either an amateur or simply that he had limited time to do whatever he had to.” Victor said.“So was it just something done to stop movement in the car or?…” he didn’t finish speaking but Victor was already shaking his head.“The miss here has to count herself lucky that she didn’t drive this car, ultimately she’d have gotten into an accident that would have probably ended her life.” Victor said.Ellen’s gasp turned them both around, she had been coming to ask about what was wrong with the car and if it was drivable.“Why would someone want to kill me?” Ellen asked. She was shaken, any

Meanwhile, back at the Sterling mansion, Jaxon was pacing to and fro, with anger evident in his face.“What do you mean she’s alive?” Jaxon screamed at the cab driver.“I tried but she jumped surprisingly quick out of the way and I just was able to knock her unconscious.” he said.“You tried…you tried?! I pay you good money and you just tried? Go find her and complete the job or else consider yourself dead.” Jaxon threatened.“I am sorry to be so nosy sir but according to what you told me, the lady in question hasn’t exactly done anything to you, you just want to get back at this guy right? don’t you think we have done enough to her, she is not your major target after all.” he said.Jaxon glared at him until he lowered his gaze, “You are giving me orders now I see?” he asked, his body language threatening the poor driver.“No sir, I’ll get at it immediately. I’m sorry.” he apologized.“You had better be. Now scram.” Jaxon commanded.The cab driver turned around and out of the building,

Charlie had taken his leave, different person now, a salary earner. “So James what do you plan to do with Jaxon now that the truth is out in the open?” Lana asked. “I’m thinking about, I probably should go confront him.” James answered. “Do you really think that would be a good idea?” “What else would you have me do?” James asked. “Let us take it slow, we would catch him in his own net.” Lana said. “And how do you propose we do that?” “Just wait.” Lana said. “James? Lana?” El spoke weakly. “El you are awake.” Lana and James both said at the same time. “Come on lie back down, you still need to rest.” James said, gently pushing her back down. “What happened? It all occurred too fast. Why was he trying to kill me?” El asked. She was just waking up and still confused and she couldn’t make head or tail from what had happened. “Just relax El, we got it under control, I promise you no harm whatsoever is going to come you anymore.” Lana promised, patting Ellen’s hair. “I’m tired.
