4:30pm …

“Thank you,” Janelle muttered as I pulled the door open and she stepped out, just as soon as I closed the door behind her, another car zoomed into the compound and parked closed up behind us.

We both exchanged glances as the headlight went off and we slowly turned back to look at the car, the driver side slowly went open and Enzo stepped out, i stepped up immediately,

I turned to Janelle and she looked equally as surprised to see him, I already decided to not meddle in whatever annoying friendship they might have, I trust Janelle enough to that but that still die t mean that I want to see them together.

He slowly slammed the door shut behind him, tucked his hands into his pocket and walked up to us.

“Hi Janelle,” he muttered, I scoffed raising the corner of his lips irritatingly, the audacity of this guy! If he wanted to see Janelle, he could have done that, but no he chose to come into my house to talk to my wife!

I felt Janelle’s grip on my wrist and I slowly turned t

    Janelle.Police station. 7:15pm I stepped out from my car and slammed the door shut, the entrance of the police station was already filled with crowds of both pressmen and onlookers.The doors of the Station opened, I paused in my tracks as they wheeled his body out covered completely in a white cloth, my heart sunk in my chest as I watched the progress I made settle back into dust, I pushed through the crowd immediately and tried to make my way inside the station.Immediately the pressmen saw me they rushed towards me trying to get words but I pushed my way through ignoring ever one of them, I got into the station and slammed the door shut, Bella was already inside waiting for me.“I was about to check the CCTV cameras,” She said as soon as she saw me and without breaking my stride, we walked briskly together towards the control room, immediately we got into the room, the guy in charge got up and bowed to us in greeting.“Show us the cameras in cell number eleven and all the hall w

    Janelle.Minutes Later …“She’s awake, she held my hands, she answered my greetings,” Adil moved closer to me and gathered me in his hands in a shoulder hug, he patted my shoulders slowly as we stared at the hospital door, the doctor had requested that I leave the room so she’s checked on and moved to a regular room.Dad rushed into the hallway, Adil slowly let go of me as he approached us and looked into my eyes.“What did they say?!” He whispered, I slowly moved closer to him and he placed his hands on my shoulder,“S-s-she woke up,” I stuttered, before he could reply , the door slowly went open and the doctor stepped out, all three of us turned and rushed towards him immediately, “Calm down, she’s alright and ready to see you all,” he said, we exhaled in relief and without wasting time, after he told us everything we needed to do, Adil and I proceeded into the room and dad went with him hurriedly.Tears streamed down from my face as I rushed into the room towards mom, her lips st

    Janelle.Next morning, I stirred awake with a small groan, immediately the ray of light hit my eyes, I winced and turned away from it, I slowly sat up on the bed and turned to my side, a big bouquet of flower lay by my side with a note right beside it.-Good Morning Sunshine, You’re absolutely Beautiful. I have taken care of Tehilla, take your time and get ready, I’ll see you at the party in the evening,- The note read, it was an handwritten note and I blushed shamelessly as I read it, “I love you too,” I whispered as I picked up the flower and smelled it, it was freshly picked and it smelt like the earth, I love this man and I’m unapologetic about it. This evening was the anniversary and launching event Adil has been planning all these months and I needed to be there to support him, it’s the least I can do for him, but first I needed to go to work and sort out some things.I gently hopped off the bed and put on my flip flops, just as soon as I got up, my phone began to ring on t

    Janelle.“My Boss, Sir Adil Carter!” I felt breath catch in my throat for some seconds immediately he said that, his boss Adil Carter ?! How?!I scoffed lightly as I moved closer to him and grabbed him by his shirt immediately, “Do you think this is a joke! Does this look funny to you!” I snorted staring deep down his eyes, he just stood there without any reaction like my grip on him wasn’t affecting him in any way, and his smug behaviour pissed me off further.“Think about it, what reason do I have to lie, ever since I killed him, I haven’t been able to sleep,”“I killed a whole human, I have to turn myself in,” he muttered calmly, I let go of his shirt and stepped back, “I have evidences that I worked with him” he muttered as he stepped back and took out a flash drive from his pocket and stretched it out to me, I slowly looked down at the drive and back up at him, “It’s just a few clips of spies he caught, and I had the opportunity to capture on camera,” he added“Why should I

    “Janelle are you okay?!” Bella asked her brows furrowing in confusion as she stared at me, I cleared my throat noisily and forced a smile at her,“I’m okay actually, I’m just trying to take things slowly and read between every line,” I muttered in reply, she scoffed playfully as she pushed her chair backwards and stood up,“Takes things slowly? Didn’t you say we should get this done with as soon as possible? There’s no time to take things slowly Janelle,” She muttered calmly, I chuckled nervously as I raised my hands with a shrug,“I know right, I’m just trying to make sure we don’t loose any important detail along the line,” I said and she nodded slowly.“No problem, I’ll look into it, and you’ll do the cross checking slowly,” she said and I nodded with a small smile.“So you’re getting off work early today huh,” she said with a teasing smile, I forced a smile in return as I nodded slowly,“I still have a life outside of this case,” I said and she smiled at me,“Absolutely, Absolute

    AdilAt the Anniversary and Launching Event I exhaled deeply as my grip on Janelle’s hand tightened, even if we don’t work together, I insisted that we make the entrance together and she seats beside me on the VIP space, I looked around the hall, the event decorators actually out did themselves, it gave exactly what I wanted it to give, simple but classy.Red carpet had started earlier and now everyone had settled into the hall on their seats for the main event to begin, I turned to look at Becky where she sat, her eyes were on the people I invited as VIP and her face was held in a small scowl, she was obviously not satisfied with my choice of event but at the end of the day, it was my event to plan and there was nothing she could do about it.I gently led Janelle to the table where she would seat and made her take her seat, waves of Awws crossed the hall as i did that, I simply smiled as I made my way towards the podium to address everyone."Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed partners,

    Enzo.“Hello, you don’t have any other option,” I said and with that I removed the phone from my ear and ended the call.I exhaled deeply with a sigh as I turned to the corner where Tehilla sat playing with toys absolutely caught up in her own world, Too bad that she’s about to be caught up in the world her parent created.“Uncle Enzo,” she called and slowly turned to look at me, I dipped my phone in my pocket and turned to look at her with a small sneer at the corner of my lips.“What of Dada and Mama, when will they be here,” She asked, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head as I picked up my car keys, about to head out of the house, the door opened and Diane walked in, I paused in my tracks and slowly turned to look at her close the door behind her and walk in, after her outburst yesterday, I did not expect to see her here again so soon.She slowly walked in and looked around, her eyes went wide immediately she saw Tehilla in the room, she blinked rapidly and slowly turned to me.

She gently turned around and walked up to me.“You finally came to see your father,” she muttered, ignoring her, I dipped my hands into my bag and took out the paper I found yesterday.“Actually I came to see you both,” I replied in a whisper, Adil’s voice begging me to calm down and listen to whatever explanation they had ringing in my ears. I just could not fathom why he is still being calm and nice after everything they have put us through, I slowly looked up at her locked gazes with her and
