“And I don't need to remind you that we're here to do our jobs, so don't interfere.” The police chief added and got Nicolas enraged. “What do you mean I shouldn't interfere when my son is involved?” Nicolas shot out in a raised voice, glaring daggers at the man who didn't utter another word. Nicolas's face turned to the substance, and he inspected it with his eyes, furrowing his brows. “Where did you find that thing?” He asked, pointing at the white substances. “We found it in his room. So this is proof that he's not innocent.” The police chief declared seriously. “My son has no reason to deal with drugs, so you're mistaken. That doesn't belong to him.” Nicolas said in defense, closing the distance between him and the police chief. “We found it in his home and his room. What do you expect us to do when the evidence is here, glaring at our faces. Mr. McAllen, I'll advise you to allow us to do our job.”“Those things do not belong to me. I don't know how it came here.” Adolphus fi

“Just focus on getting out of here, and don't worry about Abigail. We'll take care of her.” Donald replied to Adolphus, looking very concerned. “Yeah, Adol. Just leave her to us. We'll do our best and make sure she's fine.” Glover added. “However, it's more important that you come out of here very fast. And we'll do our part and best to see that you're out soon.”After that, the three friends left Adolphus, and he was led back to his cell.Outside, Donald, Glover, and Abigail stood together for a few more minutes, discussing Adolphus. It was really heartbreaking for them to see someone like Adolphus confined in a prison cell. A vibrant young man with so much energy and a lot of smartness. If unfortunately he was convicted, it'll be a waste of his youth and his intelligence. Adolphus may spend many years in prison, serving jail terms for what he knew nothing about. “How do we help him?” Abigail inquired, finally letting the tears fall. She's been holding the tears and pulling hers

A week later, Adolphus was tried and convicted when his lawyers could not prove him innocent. The drugs were strong evidence against him, and his lawyer could not destroy his character just to prove him innocent. They could have easily come up with evidence to prove that Adolphus was not mentally stable and should be sent to rehab instead of a prison. Unfortunately, that would be worse as Adolphus's character would be completely destroyed. He'd be known as the drug addict and that would negatively affect Nicolas. Although he was already affected but believed there was still hope for his son.The maid who planted the drugs was still on the run. Fortunately, Nicolas's men have closed in on her, and it wouldn't be long before she was captured. After Adolphus's conviction, life went back to normal. Doris continued her restaurant business, still holding onto hope that her son would be vindicated soon.Many customers left, but that didn't stop many others from coming. All they cared abo

Adolphus was going home from work days later when their car suddenly stopped. He was alone with Bradley, and the path was lonely. Only a few cars drove by occasionally. He had worked so hard that day and decided to go home and rest. His mother would join him afterward. It was almost getting dark at that time, and their car suddenly stopped in the middle of nowhere. A place where they weren't sure of their safety. “I'll go and find out what happened to the car.” Bradley said to him and hurried down from the car to check it out. He noticed that the fault wasn't serious and began to fix it while Adolphus waited for him inside the car.The next minute, a black van pulled over before their car, and three men in black came down from the van. They were all dressed in black and covered their faces properly. One of them pointed a gun at Bradley, who was engrossed in what he was doing. He had to stand straight and raise his hands in surrender. The men were armed, so they must be careful.

“That's more reason you should be extremely careful.” Abigail spoke. “You already know who the enemy is, yet you're not being careful.”“It hasn't been long since you came back from prison, and the same woman sent you there. You mustn't take her for granted.” Abigail added.“You shouldn't get ahead of yourself. That woman is out to get you out of the way. Be extremely careful.” Donald also warned him.The friends talked for a few more minutes before Donald and Glover left the conversation, leaving just the couple to talk alone.“Adolphus. Please listen to us and do not get your mother worried again.” Abigail and Adolphus spoke for a few more minutes before the call ended. Inside the house, he found his mother seated on the sofa, waiting for him. As soon as she saw him, she stood up and walked up to her.“What did your father say to you?” She inquired seriously with raised brows. “He's imposing some bodyguards on me. Well, he's also worried like you, so I just have no choice.” Adolph
