Chapter 45
While her father didn't care about the Carls, Jacelyn was worried.Two of them returned home to meet everyone seated as though they were expecting their arrival.“Look at how good the both of you are looking!” Grandpa Carl said coldly. “For hours, we had no roof over our heads.”“Sorry about that, Grandpa. No one informed us about the situation.” Jacelyn said politely.“Oh please we tried to reach you but it failed.” Yusi spoke with a frown.Grandpa pointed at her. “If you weren't my granddaughter, I would have sent you back to where you are coming from.”They kept saying cold words about Jacelyn and Francis even though he wasn't around. She wished she had stayed longer in Conland.Just then, there was a knock on the door.“It had better not be that wretched live-in-son-inlaw,” Grandpa pouted.Jacelyn was closer to the door so she opened the door.“Kane…!”She screamed as she allowed a man and woman into the house.“Kane!”“What a surprise visit?!”The Carls were delighted to see Kane

The Carls left the bank dejected and sad. They returned home to be greeted by the shock of their lives – a different padlock was used to lock the gate and there was a man leisurely moving around, holding a gun.“Excuse me, what are you doing here?” Grandpa Carl asked furiously.“My job,” the man replied casually. “And you are trespassing.”Grandpa tightened his expression and began to pull the strange padlock.“I have the order to shoot you, don’t let that happened.” The man spoke and pointed his gun to Grandpa. “No one will access this building until I receive the order. Get out!”The man’s cold voice made them scared and they took to their heels immediately.‘If only Jacelyn was around, all this wouldn’t have happened.’ Clara thought inwardly. She knew her daughter now had influence and a call would have sorted it out.They tried to book a room at the nearest hotel but all the rooms were booked for the night. None of their extended family members lived close by so there was no point

Take me to the bank now!” Grandpa Carl gasped for breath. “We are doomed.”“Doomed?!” “What's wrong, grandpa?”The family members were confused and couldn't help but exclaim.With a shaky voice, he narrated his phone conversation with Desmond to the family. They were all speechless.“We need to get to the root of this.”They rushed out of the house and in ten minutes, they were at the bank.Grandpa Carl placed a call to Desmond and uttered. “I am at the bank.”Almost immediately, Desmond was standing before grandpa but he was shocked to see the other family members.“Good day Grandpa,” Desmond greeted.“What went wrong?” Grandpa went straight to the point, ignoring his greeting.“You have to speak to the manager.” Desmond heaved. “I can't intervene in this case.” “What's the cause of all this?” Yusi queried.Desmond looked at her. “The manager will explain better.”“My account can't be locked when I didn't commit any offence. After this, we will meet in court.” Grandpa spoke furious

The next day, Francis was seated in a mansion with Willams beside him. He recounted all his in-law said to him the previous night.Williams frowned, “You have endured a lot from them. It is high time you reveal your identity to them.”Francis shook his head. “I will reveal my identity at the right time.”“What do you want to do next?”Francis responded, “I want to punish the Carls, but Jacelyn and her father would be exempted.” “How do you…” Willams had a question.He was yet to complete his sentence when Francis’ phone rang.“Hello Silas, your call came in at the right time.” Francis uttered happily because he had the intention of calling him when he was done talking to Williams.“I just want to inform you that we’ve concluded all the paper work with Jacelyn Carl. What’s the next step?”“Book a flight for Jacelyn and her father. I want them to be out of town for the next three days. Tell her the trip is for her personal development and her father will be with her to ensure her safet

Bethan on the other hand now stood before an elderly man who was smoking tobacco.“You mean the person you were asked to eliminate is a live-in-son-inlaw who has nothing to his name?” The elderly man uttered as he released smoke from his nose.“I tortured the one I picked and I am not sure if he will survive Cox I left him on a lonely path.” Bethan had to lie to make his words believable.No one cares if he dies.” The man replied with a deep tone.He gestured for Bethan to leave and he obeyed.Meanwhile Jaclyne arrived home and narrated everything to her family.Except for her father, the others showed no concern for Francis.“I need to inform the police.” Jacelyn uttered and picked her phone.Clara snatched the phone, “You won't try it. Can't you see this as an opportunity for Francis to leave our lives for good?”“Mom, not now. What if the kidnapper is on a mission to kill him. How do I explain this to the public?”“No one will ask you for an explanation, rest.” Yusi chipped in. “F

Francis was pressed and needed to use the restroom. He excused himself while Jacelyn waited for him.Just then, a young man looking handsome approached Jacelyn.“Hey beautiful, why are you here alone?” The man said sweetly.Jacelyn didn't acknowledge his presence.“Pardon my manners, I am new in town. I need direction to my destination.”Jacelyn frowned, “I am sorry I can't help. You should use your Google map for better directions.”She was always nice to strangers but at that point she felt there was something odd about the man; that made her treat him coldly.“Really?” The man's tone was now deep and scary.The man exposed the pistol which was in his chest pocket and ordered. “Move.”Fear gripped her and the items she bought all fell to the ground.Soon, Jacelyn and the strange man were seated in a car and he drove them to an apartment.Just a table and a chair were inside the room.“You are not the main target otherwise you would have warmed my bed tonight.” The man said and pushe
