The Titan War God Returns

At Once

Nesse had already reached her limit.

“Can I have my lawyer?” She questioned angrily. “I am being kept here against my wish and without due evidence,” she added.

But she didn’t get any tangible response.

Apparently, the detective who had earlier spoken to her wasn’t at the station, and no one else could take his place. Nesse didn’t like that she was being prevented from speaking with her lawyer, which was even the first thing that she could have done.

“How could I have been so stupid?” She asked herself.

The truth was that she had thought that this wouldn’t be anything serious. Nesse never thought that anyone in their right mind would accuse her of killing someone, but she had also learned not to take anything for granted.

She would have to wait until the uncouth and nasty detective returned, but the moment he did, Nesse would not be spending a second here. She was placed in the VIP segment because of her power and reputation, but that didn’t make Nesse feel any better.

“Your mother is here to see you,” one of the officers informed Nesse.

“Sure,” she said drily.

She knew that her mother was going to come right here and say things that would probably make her feel worse, but now wasn’t the time to reject her mother’s visitation.

If only she hadn’t listened to her mother in the first place, she wouldn’t have been in that party.

“Nesse, are you okay?” Jules asked the moment she was brought to Nesse.

She sounded very worried and concerned, and it felt almost surreal to Nesse. This wasn’t the mother she was used to.

There was barely any form of affection between them.

“If I was in my house, this would have been a good question to ask,” Nesse said, rolling her eyes. “I need my lawyer,” she added.

How the heck did she go from getting divorced to being arrested for murder all in the space of a few hours?

Her life was really in a crazy stage at the moment.

“I am going to contact him as soon as I leave here,” Jules said.

Nesse looked at her mother with surprise, and Jules noticed.

“What is it with the stare?” Jules asked. “I am your mother, Nesse, and I care deeply about you, and I have always wanted the very best for you,” she added.

“And you waited until a moment like this to make me feel this way?” Nesse asked, hardly moved by her mother’s show of affection.

She had already spent most of her life without it, and she was now too old to be dwelling on it.

Jules sighed heavily.

“I visited the Loreson’s,” Jules told Nesse.

Nesse also smiled.

All her resolve broke the moment she heard that name. She could not even begin to imagine what they might be going through as a family. Vince was their only son, and he had only recently become the CEO after years of waiting for his father to step down.

It was sad, and although Nesse never liked any member of that family, she did understand that this was a tough time for them.

“They are still insisting that you are responsible for Vince’s death,” Jules added.

Nesse became upset.

“I know they are hurt and grieving, but I am not going to take this, mum,” Nesse declared. “Which is why I need my lawyer immediately,” she added firmly.

She would really hate for the Loreson’s to act like their dead son; very unreasonable.

“I hope he is able to get you out of this,” Jules said pitifully.

“Are you also suspecting that I am guilty?” Nesse asked her mother, already preparing to lash out at her, but Jules shook her head.

“No, it’s not that,” she said. “It’s the threat that came from them that worries me,” Jules added.

“They threatened you?” Nesse asked, surprised.

“They did, Nesse, and they weren’t just empty words. They want revenge,” she told Nesse.

“On me?” Nesse asked, almost unable to believe what she was seeing.

“Yes,” Jules answered sadly. “I thought Benita was my friend, but grief had taken over her and I have now come to see that she is a woman with venom,” she added.

“I never liked them,” Nesse said. “But somehow, you always insisted that it had to be them, now see where it has landed me. If you hadn’t forced me into that party, I wouldn’t be here dealing with this,” she added.

“They used to be very nice,” Jules said defensively.

“They are businessmen and women, mum. Do you think they would have given a shit about you if you were of the average class?” Nesse asked her mother.

“You should be more worried about what they intend to do to you,” Jules snapped.

She didn’t like being corrected, especially when it was coming from Nesse.

“Just get my lawyer,” Nesse told her mother, sucking her teeth.

Before her mother could leave, an officer returned.

“Ma’am, you need to get out,” he said, opening the door wide enough for Nesse.

“Where are you taking her?” Jules asked frantically.

“Mum, please,” Nesse said, rolling her eyes.

She was acting as though Nesse was being taken away to be killed, which was a little bit dramatic. Even if the Loreson’s are vengeful towards me, they would have us go to court to deal with it,” Nesse stated.

She was so confident that they couldn’t harm her here, but Jules knew better.

“Where are you taking her?” She asked, insisting on an answer.

“An immediate release has been called for Miss Nesse, ma’am,” the officer told Jules.

Both Nesse and Jules were very shocked at the same time.

“Who pulled that off?” Nesse managed to ask when she got over her shock.

She and Jules knew that the last thing the Loreson’s would do was to ask for her release when they hadn’t gotten what they wanted.

“A certain man,” the officer responded before giving Nesse a card.

When she looked at it, she knew without a doubt that it was still this same secret person who had been sending her money.

Nesse was more confused and perplexed than she had ever been, and as she left the station, she decided that her next big assignment would be to find out who this person was.
