MOMENT OF TRUTH.
CHAPTER 26: MOMENT OF TRUTH.Jessica sat in her car, caught in traffic behind a couple of cars as the traffic light turned red at an intersection. It was daytime, but she was living a nightmare. This was the worst day of her life. A bunch of negative thoughts ravaged her mind. Right before her eyes, she watched everything slip out of her hands. They weren't hers to begin with. Overwhelmed with grief, she screamed, slamming her hand against the steering wheel, causing the horn to blare. It startled some of the people who were also caught in traffic. Folks who from the side looked at her, talking amongst themselves."Are you okay, honey?" A woman, up to her mother's age inquired from the side. But Jessica didn't even spare her the courtesy of a look, not even a response. She buried her face between her hands on the steering wheel. Shortly after, there was an eruption of horns honking. "Hey! Move it, will you?" the commuters yelled at Jessica. The traffic light had turned green, but
SAVING THE DAY.
CHAPTER 25: SAVING THE DAY.Jack's heart thumped at that moment. He looked in shock at the level of anger and hatred that had overwhelmed the young girl. And who could blame her? She was subjected by that bastard to the most heinous of experiences by that bastard. The lady managed to stop herself just right when she would have split his neck open. She had the knife right to his throat. He bled just from the knife being placed on his neck. Her assailant sweated profusely, gripped with terror as he was the one now faced with death. Now he understood what he had subjected her to, and worse. "Just, take it easy, okay? Calm down," Jack meditated, reaching toward her hand gently. "I'm sure you're not as dumb as he is. I know you wouldn't want to do anything stupid that would jeopardize your future, now would you?" The girl was in tears as she looked hatefully at the young man, Jack, subdued. A lot of wicked thoughts ran through her head."Hand me the knife," Jack requested with his hand
UNEXPECTED SCENES.
CHAPTER 24: UNEXPECTED SCENES. Jack was home that morning. It was the weekend. So he used the opportunity to kick back and relax. It was quite an eventful week. He was up early as usual, so he went out for a jog, alone. Wearing an Adidas tracksuit, he ran comfortably. His phone was strapped to his arm for effective movement, and he had on his AirPods, listening to his favorite playlist. The neighborhood was quite lonely as most of the neighbors hadn't woken up. It was 7:45 in the morning. Well, not many of the rich folks were given to physical fitness as he was. Most of them start out late after they have turned fifty years of age. Well, not Jack. He was thirty minutes into the jog when he heard his phone ringing. He checked to see the caller ID. Seeing it was his lawyer, he halted and answered the call. "McQueen.""Good morning, Mr Rosker. I hope I didn't wake you up?" McQueen said. "Not at all," Jack replied. "Okay, sir. So, the FTB paid the Seans a visit this morning.""Oh,
HOW ART THE MIGHTY FALLEN.
CHAPTER 23: HOW ART THE MIGHTY FALLEN.Jessica didn't even change into something else. She rushed out of her room wearing just her pajamas. Michael was startled awake by the urgency with which she jumped off the bed. He was still a bit drowsy.Wearing just her flip flops, she raced out of the room, her hair still ruffled, as expected of one who had just woken up. "Babe?" Michael called to her as she opened the door but she ignored him, heading down the stairs. He got up and followed her, wondering what was going on."Babe? What's the matter?" he asked from the top of the stairs. Jessica had already grabbed the car keys and was at the door. He knew there was definitely trouble."Jess, wait up, would you?" he called out as he rushed down the stairs. "I don't friggin have time to waste!" she replied and hastened out of the house, slamming the door behind her. Michael stopped in the living room and sighed. "What could be the matter?" he asked himself, pondering for a bit. Jessica got
UNEXPECTED TROUBLE.
CHAPTER 22: UNEXPECTED TROUBLE.Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Jessica is getting ready for the meeting with the potential buyers of her company. She just finished taking a shower. As she combed her hair, her mind journeyed far. Although she faced the mirror, it wasn't her image that was before her. The angry faces of the miners were all she could see. Their angry voices re-echoed in her head.She couldn't even address the workers. She didn't have the balls to do so. What was she going to say even? She wasn't the one who decided to shortchange them, depriving them of what's theirs. As she drove out, the workers stood in her way, chanting and ranting what they had been chanting all the while they were there. Some of them angrily slammed their hands against her car. Another who stood in front threw his lemonade at her windshield, causing her to cringe and duck. She had the same reaction as she sat before her mirror, unconsciously ducking in fright. Jessica quickly realized
THE HARSH REALITY.
CHAPTER 21: THE HARSH REALITY.All morning, Jessica was home. She decided not to go anywhere. She was exhausted - It had been an eventful evening the previous day as a result of the incident with Samantha's husband. She needed some rest. Michael, on the other hand, had headed out about an hour before this time, leaving Jessica all alone at her penthouse.She binged a romcom after she woke up, barely sleeping for up to three hours. Her mind was not at rest. Ergo the reason she had to distract herself with the marathon episodes of the romcom. Sighing frustratedly, Jessica tossed aside the TV's remote control and got up. She headed to her room and got dressed. She couldn't sit at home. She needed to go to her company. She took the elevator down, got into her car, and drove off. It was already 2:30 pm. About twenty minutes later, she arrived at the company. But she met a sight that caused her to furrow her brow, looking a bit perplexed. "What the hell's going on?" she asked herself a
