COMPLICATION

"I suggest you tell the truth, Jefferson, or you won't like the consequences," Jeremy demanded, his eyes glowing.

He had asked Agent Thompson to gather information on Jefferson's fiancée, but after two days Agent Thompson hadn't been able to gather anything, which had left Jeremy frustrated.

Time was ticking and if something wasn't done soon, he was sure he would lose his mind.

Since the start of the investigation, everything had just gone wrong and nothing seemed to make sense, no matter what puzzle he tried to put together.

Jeremy had decided to play a mind game with Jefferson and admit to information against his fiancé that they didn't have, hoping that it would make Jefferson talk about what he wanted to hear.

"Are we back to this Jeremy again, there's nothing to tell," Jefferson countered, he wasn't ready to go through this Jeremy as he didn't trust him.

He had been asked this question several times and it was still the same answer he had to give, there was nothing

    THE SUSPECT PART ONE"You left your copy of the blueprint at home?" Jeremy asked, as if he hadn't heard properly. His eyes were wide with awe."I didn't leave it at home carelessly, I left it in a safe that only I know the password to," Jefferson defended himself, his eyes meeting Jeremy's. He knew he had made no mistake so far, so it was clearly impossible that the safe had been opened by anyone."You weren't discreet Jefferson, you had the blueprint at home and you know perfectly well that you weren't the only one at home. The blueprint must have been compromised," Jeremy explained, his eyes shining with anger. He wasn't ready to tell Jefferson how stupid he had been, hoping that he had seen it.After days of searching for evidence with a dead end, he was finally seeing things for what they really were."There's no way it was compromised Jeremy, it was in a safe and I'm the only one with the password," Jefferson countered, his voice harsh and deep, he wasn't going to believe the br

What if you were wrong, have you thought about that?" Jeremy muttered. He watched Jefferson's every move and took note of every gesture he made. Although he tried to believe that Jefferson was not in league with his fiancée,he had to be sure."Yes, I trust her. If she were anyone else, I would have agreed with you that she could be guilty, but she's not just anyone. She's my fiancee and I believe she wouldn't do something like that knowing how damaging it would be to me," Jefferson replied confidently They've been together for over five years now, so he trusts that she won't do anything to hurt him. He knows she loves him and he loves her too."Your love for her is very praiseworthy. How many men will take on the bur

    THE PHONE CALLJeremy was about to say something when Jefferson's phone rang. Jefferson picked it up and to his surprise, Chloe's name appeared on the screen."She's calling," Jefferson mumbled as he got up and looked at both Jeremy and Agent Thompson, who were giving him instructions on what to do next."Take the call," Agent Thompson and Jeremy said at the same time. They were so eager to hear what she had to say,their anticipation was apparent.She left in such a hurry and from the looks of it, she only took the things she felt were important and left the others behind.Jefferson was sceptical about taking the call, especially in the presence of Jeremy and Agent Thompson. What if the answer was something that could implicate him, but he pushed the thought aside and answered the call,dismissing doubt from his mind."Hello Chloe, where are you, I'm in your apartment and everywhere is scattered. What is going on babe," Jefferson asked hurriedly, he needed to be convinced that she was

    JEFFERSON'S REQUEST "Shut down the airport, we can't do that, Jeremy," Jefferson quickly disagreed when Jeremy brought up the idea, the more he thought about it, the more he dismissed the idea from his mind."We can't do that," Jefferson added. Even though he wasn't the one who had the final say on the matter, he had thought that he might be able to influence Jeremy's decision a little."What are you saying, this is the perfect way to reprimand her and get her to talk," Jeremy explained, his eyes shining with certainty and positivity.In his opinion, shutting down the airport was the perfect way to get to Jeremy's fiancée Chloe and find out what she knew.Jeremy understood that because of the relationship Jefferson had with her, it would be very difficult not to misjudge him and his way of doing things."Reprimand her, like a criminal, you mean? You're practically going to make things difficult for her," Jefferson explained with noticeable anger, his mood completely disoriented as he

    CHLOE After Jefferson and Jeremy had come to an agreement, Jeremy quickly turned to Agent Thompson to give the order."Agent Thompson please get the airport police on board,they should secure all exits,no one is expected to board and all flights should be delayed," Jeremy instructed Agent Thompson,his voice heavy with expectation.According to him, he was finally getting clarity and he wanted to know what Jefferson's fiancée Chloe had to say and maybe she would be able to solve the puzzle of the investigation."That's not a problem," Agent Thompson replied and began to make phone calls, leaving Jeremy and Jefferson still standing at the scene."Please Jeremy, I don't want Chloe to be manhandled or anything, she's not a criminal or even a suspect, just someone we want to ask some questions," Jefferson reminded Jeremy. He wouldn't like it if they got there and the airport arrested Chloe like some criminal, he would clearly be offended by the whole thing."It's all right, I don't intend

    UNKNOWN Chloe was still in hospital recovering, but the world thought she was dead.They did this to divert attention from her. Jeremy didn't know what to do next, as the person he thought was the culprit,but the attempt on her life had proven her innocent.Jefferson has been devastated since they took her to the hospital. He blames himself for everything that has happened to her. He has been on her side ever since.Jeremy felt guilty, like he was the cause of what happened to her. He didn't know how to console Jefferson, but the doctor assured them that she had passed the dangerous stage, so they had hope.Jeremy was still deep in thought when Agent Thompson approached him in the waiting room."Mr Jeremy, it is done. I've stationed my men to guard your room and others around the hospital to alert us in case of an emergency," Agent Thompson said as he took a seat next to Jeremy."How is he," Agent Thompson inquired of Jeremy about Jefferson's well-being."I don't think he's all right

    DUBIETY Jeremy didn't understand what the statement meant, he tried to confront the man, but the call ended before he could even ask his question.Why would the man say that he's about to fall off a cliff when they're the ones who are going to fall off the cliff because they stole a project that doesn't belong to them and when Chloe wakes up from her coma, she's going to give them information that will bring them down.Jeremy ponders on the man's word. He found it very surprising and disturbing that the man would ask him such a question, when they're the ones in the wrong.He went upstairs, had his bath and ate his dinner before retiring for the night. Although he was still thinking deeply about what the man had said.The next morning, Jeremy was still lying down when his phone rang. He ignored it at first, but the phone rang again and he decided to answer it."Hello, who is this," Jeremy said immediately as he answered the call because the number wasn't one he was familiar with."He

    SUDDEN CHANGE The news the doctor dropped on Jeremy was like a thunderstorm in his ears, leaving him speechless and equally confused.If it was indeed self-inflicted, it meant that Chloe was still at the top of his list of suspects, making it all the more likely that she had been faking it at the airport."I don't know what to say, Doctor, but I'll have to see Miss Chloe myself and decide what to do next," Jeremy said, the thought still lingering in his mind.The anxiety he had dispelled earlier returned and his stomach instantly had an unsettling feeling, he felt sick at this point."I suggest you be careful Mr Jeremy, if she is indeed pretending as you suspected it would mean she is clearly aware of her situation and it would be bad if you did anything to tip her off," the doctor encouraged, his words were filled with encouragement and Jeremy knew it was best to listen to him.It was obviously difficult to pretend that nothing had happened, but it was a decision he had to make in o

It had been a very intense conversation and it hadn't been easy before they had come to an agreement."I will come by tomorrow morning to check on you so we can spend more time together," Jeremy said to Mr. Valentine. He felt this was the best way to foster their relationship.Being the son of two very powerful men wasn't going to be easy, but he knew he was up to the task and he was going to do it to achieve his goal."I'll be expecting you, but don't think you're off the hook just yet. I'll be watching you closely now that you're going to be my son," Mr. Valentine muttered to Jeremy.Mr. Valentine was glad that Jeremy had agreed to become his adopted son, but he was a little skeptical about the whole process, but he was willing to give it a try.If this was the only way he could connect with his long lost love, then he would do it."I know you have men at your beck and call, you can do whatever you w

    CHAPTER 502SEALEDJeremy held the signed document in his hands. He didn't understand the emotions he was feeling but somehow he was glad that everything was finalized."Should I just hug you and call you my son now," Mr. Valentine asked, he was so excited that they'd finally signed the contract and now Jeremy was his son by adoption.Jeremy didn't say a word. Mr. Valentine calling him his son felt strange to him, but there was nothing he could do about it.Jeremy nodded his head in agreement. Mr. Valentine called him his son and smiled.Mr. Valentine had made Jeremy his heir, his name was written as his next of kin and all his property was in Jeremy's name.This wasn't what Jeremy had planned. He had come to ask the man for help, but now he was his adopted son. How did he get from where he was to where he is now?Should he thank his mother for giving him this fortune? Maybe it was just too soon, he thought to himself. They still had a lot of work to do, and only time would tell how l

    CHAPTER 501AGREEMENT Jeremy couldn't deny the shock of Mr Valentine's reaction and what those words meant to him.He was completely immobilised as to the correct answer to give, his heart beating incessantly.It was more like he hadn't heard properly, his eyes bulging with confusion."It's as if you didn't hear me Mr Valentine, I said no to your request. I had no intention of making you my adoptive father," Jeremy said confidently, his eyes searching Mr Valentine's for any reaction.Anything from him would be a good indicator of what was going through his mind."I heard you Jeremy, you said you wouldn't agree to my request, but my decision to help you still stands, I can't think of doing anything else," Mr Valentine said with every bit of sincerity in his voice.He understood where Jeremy was coming from and what he was trying to avoid, and it was that boldness and determination alone that made him change his earlier request.In fact, Mr Valentine was certain that there was no way h

    CHAPTER 500I CAN'T HELP YOUJeremy was still sitting with Mr Valentine, weighing up the options.He knew how hurt Mr Valentine was and, given his father's explanation, he could also relate to his father's point of view and the love he proclaimed for his mother.Still sitting in Mr Valentine's room, Jeremy came to realise what it means to love someone so deeply and that it may not always turn out the way we want it to. It was a miracle that he had ended up with Avery after all that had happened and there was no way he was going to jeopardise the feeling and the beautiful relationship they had."I admire your strength Mr Valentine, I really do, and everything you've survived to get to where you are is no doubt commendable," Jeremy said with a smile, his eyes boring into Mr Valentine's. He needed him to feel his sincerity and how much he cared about what he had done."But I don't think asking me to be your adopted son is the way to go," Jeremy added again with the same sincerity, his e

    CHAPTER 499UNACCEPTANCE "Is that even a thing now, why would he want to adopt you, I don't get it," Mr. Nathaniel burst out in anger. He couldn't believe that Mr. Valentine would make such a suggestion.The man was trying to steal his son. Why would he want to adopt Jeremy, who he had just met and who had nothing in common with him? If he wants a son, he should go to an orphanage and adopt one."I will not allow it, he cannot adopt you as his son. Why would he do that," said Mr. Nathaniel, his phone getting hot in his hands. He felt like throwing the phone away, but he decided to just stay calm."I know this isn't the best news you want to hear, but it's in both our favor. I need his help and I need to do this," Jeremy replied to his father.He knew his father wouldn't accept the idea because who would want another man to adopt their son while they were still alive. That was why he was proposing co-parenting to his father, although he hadn't told Mr. Valentine yet, but he believed t

    CHAPTER 498THE NEWS "Why did you do that, was there no women left for you to chase?" Jeremy asked his father. He was just so disappointed with everything that was going on."I never knew their love ran that deep until I married your mother and there was nothing I could do after that," Jeremy's father defended himself. He wondered what Mr. Valentine had said to his son to make him talk like that.The look on Jeremy's face was one of disappointment and uncertainty. The last time he had seen that look on Jeremy's face was when they had a big fight before he went into a coma."That means you knew they loved each other. Then why did you allow my mother to be forced to marry you? You could have left her alone to marry whomever she wanted," Jeremy muttered. He didn't understand why he felt this way. But the truth was, he could not blame his father for everything."I honestly didn't know they loved each other. Your mother never told me," Mr. Nathaniel said angrily. He didn't understand why

You know your request doesn't change the fact that I'm Blue's Nathaniel's son, nothing can change that fact," Jeremy reminded him with sharp words.Jeremy couldn't believe the emotions that must be running through Mr. Valentine, considering the fact that he loved his mother with everything he had. Jeremy knew he was still hurting from it, and making him his adopted son wouldn't make the pain go away."I know

  • CHAPTER 496-PREREQUISITE

    CHAPTER 496PREREQUISITEJeremy was shocked that Mr. Valentine turned down his offer. Who turns down such a huge offer when you know you're already in a position of power.Most of the time wealthy people are always greedy and want to fill their pockets even more, especially with money they didn't work or fight for."Why are you shocked? You look like someone who has heard something that has never been heard before. You can close your mouth now," Mr. Valentine said to Jeremy, who was stunned and didn't know what to say.Jeremy closed his mouth, not realizing that his mouth was open because of the shock he was experiencing."From my experience with some wealthy people, they will not refuse money or any free valuable gifts you can offer them. In fact, they'll milk you for more until you're completely dry and have nothing left to offer them before they throw you away," Jeremy said. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.Knowing that Mr. Valentine was a very wealthy man with connections

The emotions that must have raged inside him, knowing that things weren't in his court any more, and the fact that he had to succumb to the choices already laid out before him."I don't know what to say Mr Valentine, listening to you and everything you've talked about has left me completely at a loss as to how best to describe my feelings," Jeremy said in all honesty, his eyes locked with Mr Valentine's, making sure he saw all the emotions raging within him and the fact that he understood him."You don't have to say anything Jeremy or even try to make me feel better.
