Chapter 116
THREE MONTHS LATER…Everyone gathered in the courthouse, to hear the most influential people in the country get punished, the media hovered around the premises of the courtroom to await the judge's order before creating Their own story. It was a thing of shock when the people realized the masterminds behind everything and they couldn't help but feel bad for pointing accusing fingers at Jake and equally dragging his name to the Mud. Those online trolls deleted their accounts and went to hide in order not to face the wrath of the people. Jake had just arrived at the courthouse, looking more handsome, polished, and smart. It may seem as though Jake had gotten over what they did to him and had moved on. Everyone was happy to see him and prayed he lived longer to enjoy all he had labored for.Mike, who has become Jake's best friend, also arrived and entered the courtroom. He was quite surprised at the number of people gathered to hear the final judgment which was to be passed on by the j

After Jake left the cell where his Family was kept, he went back to the reception and sat silently on a bench. There was this urge to break down and cry uncontrollably. He had suffered from those he regarded as family including Claire.Everything felt like a dream to him and he wanted to wake up to the time his Mother was still alive, probably when he was still young, he could have cajoled his mom into running, but his mother was an orphan, they had no family. Jake bowed his head and placed his hands at the sides of his cheek to support his head. Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching and he raised his head slowly to look at the person. It was none other than Claire. The anger in him rose as he glared at her coldly, he couldn't believe he had anything to do with Claire. Likewise, he didn't believe she was capable of doing such a thing to him. “Jake…I..” Claire started.“Don't you dare mention my name again,” Jake warned and Claire gulped nothing down her throat. Claire moved clo

Jenny Larryson has been feeling troubled since the beginning of the day. There have been ominous instances happening and she feared something bad was about to happen. Firstly, the mirror in her room mysteriously cracked. Then while she was cleaning the kitchen, she broke her husband's favorite mug which had never happened before. Jenny told all these to her husband who shrugged and told her nothing was about to happen. “ Once I catch Strausser, everything will be over. I'd go out very soon. Maybe the feeling you are having is of good luck, I might find a Strausser today.” General Ismael Larryson spoke to his wife who nodded. “It's almost afternoon, should I make tea for you?” Jenny asked and her husband nodded.“Alright. I will be back in five minutes.” Jenny announced and she rushed to make tea for her husband. A few minutes later, she came back with a tray containing a kettle and tea cups. Likewise, she placed it before him and poured some tea from the kettle into the tea cup.

It's been a day since Strausser was captured and put in the cell. Jake had warned the police not to relay anything to the media until Strausser's questioning. He didn't want the remaining culprit to run away. He was tired of playing hide and seek.Very early that morning, Jake prepared himself and went to the police station. Once he got there, he met Detective Paul and Mike waiting for him. “You are just in time for his interrogation. But you'd have to stay in the waiting room while I go in to interrogate him.” Detective Paul spoke and Jake nodded.“I will go with you too. I have some questions to ask concerning Zara's case.” Mike spoke and Detective Paul nodded. He couldn't refuse because Mike was also a detective, but a private detective.“There's this room where you can see and hear everything we speak about. The transparent window is just the barrier. I will lead you there now.” Detective Paul spoke and all of them began walking to the room. Once they got there, Jake met their ch

It was early the next morning when Strausser woke up to prepare to go to the airport. Vanessa was kind enough to run him a water heater so he could use it to take his bath since the weather hasn't been considerate lately.Also, she decided to prepare breakfast early too so he could partake before going. There was this unfathomable join on her face that even she too was surprised. But she knew deep down that she was happy that Strausser was finally leaving her house for good. Not only was she happy because he was leaving, she was also happy that Her husband wasn't taking him to the airport. What if he drops him off at the airport and they note him as the wanted criminal accomplice? Most especially when he once had a criminal record with Jake and he is an ex-convict, it'd be very easy to arrest him and jail him for doing nothing.That was the reason why she kicked against the idea of Strausser staying in her house together with her little kids. She didn't want them to know their Dad wa

Claire held the phone tightly in fear, fingers crossed hoping Jake hadn't found out about her involvement in everything.“I can't believe you'd do such a thing,” Jake spoke again and Claire gulped in fear.“Wh… what have I done?” Claire stuttered“You are still asking what you did? What did you do?” Jake asked and her breathing changed to a heavy one.“I don't know what I have done,” Claire stated“You went to see the doctor without me Again. Why do I have to find out through the doctor!” Jake yelled and Claire heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness that wasn't what Jake wanted to say. She almost lost it at that moment.“I'm sorry babes, It wasn't time for my check-up but I had to go and explain some symptoms I was having. She prescribed some drugs which were supposed to be delivered today.” Claire explained.“It's the same drug the doctor called me to pick up, why didn't you tell me about your symptoms? Aren't I part of the responsibility?” Jake asked in disappointment.“You're part
