The stranger, Mr. Keith, is Mark Hankins' assistant, who came to pay a visit to the chief lieutenant of the police since he was driving past the police station.

Mr. Keith immediately saw and quickly recognized Jamie's mom's face.

“Victoria,” Mr. Keith called as Jamie's mother turned to see him.

“Mr. Keith,” she called as he laughed.

“Please just call me Keith. You were never able to call me by my name in the past. Just Keith, please,” Mr. Keith said as Victoria nodded.

“How long has it been since we last saw each other?” Mr. Keith asked as she just shrugged her shoulders.

“I don't know. I just lost count,” Victoria said as Mr. Keith nodded before remembering where they were.

“So, what are you doing here in the police station? Don't tell me you got into some sort of problem?” Mr. Keith asked anxiously.

“My son was locked up,” Victoria said, using the situation at hand to get her son out. Keith was her last trump card.

“Your son? You have a son?” Mr. Keith asked, confused as Victoria nodded.

“Don't worry. I'll explain later but please help my son,” Victoria said as Mr. Keith sighed then nodded.

“Don't worry. I'll help you but you have to tell me in detail what happened. That's the only way I can help your son,” Mr. Keith said as Victoria nodded okay. “But if he's at fault, I won't help,” Mr. Keith added sternly.

“I know my son. He can't do anything wrong,” Victoria said.

“Okay. Let me hear it,” Mr. Keith said as Victoria explained her situation and why she showed up at the police station.

“Hmm…,” Mr. Keith said, lost in his thoughts before raising his head to see a mother who looked like her hope was lost. “There's no need to panic. The Boswell's are quite troublesome. We usually stay out of their business but that doesn't mean I can't do anything,” Mr. Keith said as Victoria sighed in relief.

Getting to hear her son's situation, he used his influence on the chief lieutenant to get Jamie out of the police cell when something struck him when he saw Jamie.

Jamie was still lost in his thoughts looking devastated when an officer came to his cell.

“Hey kid, you're free to go,” he said but Jamie couldn't hear him because he was still lost in his thoughts. “Are you dear? Do you not hear me?” The officer asked, hitting the cell gate hard before Jamie came back to reality.

“Sorry sir. What were you saying?” Jamie asked, standing up from the floor.

“You're free to go. The charges have been dropped,” the officer said, making Jamie look confused.

“Are you sure officer?” Jamie asked to confirm if he heard really well or he was going crazy.

“Do I look like I came here to joke around with you? Get lost,” the officer said, quite annoyed as he opened the cell for Jamie to come out but Jamie still looked confused as he came out.

“What's Lucas's plan? I don't understand what's going through his head. I'm sure he has other plans. I'll just have to find out,” Jamie thought as he left the station when he heard his name.

“Jamie,” he turned to see his mum. He smiled when he went to meet her.

“Mum,” he called when he noticed a man standing next to his mother. “Who's this man and what is he doing with my mum?” Jamie thought of weighing Mr. Keith with his eyes who stared back at him.

Jamie was interrupted by the voice of his mother who threw herself at him weeping. Jamie immediately felt bad.

“I'm sorry mum. I made you cry. I'm a bad son,” Jamie said, holding his mother to see her face.

“It's okay dear. I trust you. You wouldn't hurt anyone for any reason,” Victoria said as Jamie nodded, pulling her in for a hug.

Mr. Keith watched the mother-son duo until he looked at Jamie closely and something struck him.

Chris Wyatt, the Chief Security Officer, stepped out with an air of authority that silenced the murmurs and drew all eyes to him. “Stop right there!” Chris barked, his voice cutting through the noise. The guards, momentarily stunned, froze in their tracks. He strode over, his eyes scanning the scene with a mix of anger and disbelief. “What’s going on here?” he demanded, his tone sharp and commanding. The guards, unsure of how to react, started to stammer out their version of the story. “We were just following orders, Chief. Lucas said—” Before they could finish, Chris held up a hand, his face darkening with fury. “Enough! You’re all fired. Right now.” The guards, taken aback by the sudden dismissal, looked at each oth

This guy is a thief!” Lucas’s voice was accusatory, and the patrons of the restaurant turned their heads, their curiosity piqued by the sudden commotion.Bella, who was an accomplice, stepped back, she was smirking looking at a confused Jamie. “This serves you right Jamie. This is going to teach you to always stay in your lane” she whispered, fuelling an already angered Lucas who was already too consumed by his own anger. His eyes were fixed on Jamie, who just stared at him. Several security guards, alerted by Lucas’s shouting, quickly made their way to the scene. They moved with a sense of purpose, their expressions stern and ready to handle the situation. The maître d’, who had been attempting to maintain o

Jamie's stomach grumbled at the sight of the building. He needed a break, a chance to treat himself after what happened today.Pulling out his premium card, he decided to buy himself a meal that would both comfort him and distract him from the day's troubles.As Jamie approached the entrance, he noticed Bella and Lucas standing just inside, their voices low but filled with laughter.

  • CHAPTER THIRTEEN: TRUTH AND HUMILIATION

    As Jamie stepped out of president wiebe Hills office, he was relieved. “God, that was close,” Jamie thought to himself when Lucas appeared out of nowhere, his sneer cutting through the air like a blade. “Hey, Jaime,” Lucas taunted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Did you finally decide to come clean about all those loans you took out? Or maybe those fancy clothes are from the local thrift shop's designer selection?” His words were sharp, each one aimed to sting. The surrounding students, who had been watching the drama unfold, now gathered closer, their eyes wide with curiosity and delight at the scene. Jamie felt a surge of anger. The mocking tune, the accusations were just too much to bear. He took a deep breath, trying to control the boiling rage within him, but Lucas wasn't done. “You know, Jaime, I always knew you were a fraud. But look at you now, pretending to be someone you're not. All this money, these clothes… it's all a big joke!” Lucas continued, his laughter r

  • CHAPTER TWELVE: UNMASKING CONNECTIONS

    “Yes Emma. I want you to clear all my appointments for the next two hours,” president Hill stated. “Okay sir. I would definitely do that,” Emma said, smiling politely but when her eyes met with that of Jamie's, the smile disappeared. She gave him an icy glare which threw him off guard. Jamie just had to throw his face away before she would kill him with her eyes. “That would be all, Emma. Thank you,” president Hill said. “Okay sir,” she responded before turning to Jamie. “Hmm, I wonder how a poor church rat got that expensive stuff from. You better come clean if you stole them because when you're caught, I'll make sure you get the right punishment you deserve,” she started walking out. “Don't take anything my secretary says seriously. That's how she is. She's not a people's person. That's to say she's not good with people,” president Hill said. “Well, I can see that,” Jamie said, nodding his head. What he wanted to say was, “are you sure she's not good with people or it's ju

  • CHAPTER ELEVEN: SECRETS AND ACCUSATIONS

    Bella grabbed Jamie to the side, grabbing his arms, her eyes burning with suspicion and resentment.“How did you get all this stuff, Jamie? Did you take out loans? Get involved in some shady business? This doesn't make sense!” Her voice was a mix of anger and disbelief.Jamie, caught off guard by her accusations, was sad. His emotions were all over the place and then it turned to anger. Who was she to ask him such questions? Bella, his ex-girlfriend who had left him for Lucas. She was always too quick to judge and too fast to speak her mind, but she was insinuating that he had resorted to illegal means or that he was involved in something as bad drug dealing hurt more. He clenched his fists, trying to keep his composure.“Bella, you don't know what you're talking about. How can you say that?? You think I would do drugs or get involved with bad people? Jamie asked, shaking his head. “Everything I have, I earned. I've been working hard, saving up. This is all mine. I don't need to expla
