I opened the door for John the journalist.
“Come on in man, close the door behind you” I said.
“Thank you, Mr. Steve,” he replied.
I led the way to the TV room as John followed me, we went and sat down on the sofa. John put his belongings on the table.
“So, what do you have for me?” I asked.
“Okay, I do have information on Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jackson including some of their companions” he said.
“How do I fit in into this whole thing?” I asked “I mean if you have information about them, report about at your news channel”
“That’s where you come in sir” he replied “our news channel has been blocked for exposing these guys so I was hoping that if we had the backing of someone as influential as you are we could at least get a bit of a break through and come back to the main stream”
“Okay, what do you need?” I asked.
The next morning…I woke up early in the morning and left the house before Christine even woke up. But the previous night I had told her that I was going to leave a little bit earlier. I arrived at the same time with the receptionist, she was pretty much the first one to arrive every day.“Good morning” I greeted her “wow, you look pretty today”“Thank you so much sir” she blushed.I walked past the reception and headed for my office. I sat on my chair thinking about how things were unfolding at this point, and how everything was going my way. I sat in that quiet office being in deep thought and then a call came through the telephone that was in my office.“Hello” I answered and it was my receptionist.“Sir, there are men here looking for you”I wasn’t expecting anyone at that moment but I assumed that it might’ve been Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jackson because we h
Later that day…I grabbed the file and left my office, I found Kevin having a conversation with the receptionist, she was blushing and giggling, it felt good to see Kev building relationships with new people.“Let’s go Kev” I said as I walked past him and the receptionist.“Can I call you tonight?” Kevin asked the receptionist as he followed me.I looked back trying to see her response and I saw her just smiling and nodding, it was no doubt that she kind of liked Kevin. I jumped into the backseat of the SUV as Kevin headed to the front seat.“She likes you” I said.“Who?” he asked.“The receptionist” I replied “she likes you”Kevin just chuckled with no response and then he started the engine, that was sign enough for me to see that he was also into the girl.“Where to boss?” he asked.“There’s an old jewel
“What is doing here” Charlotte asked.“Why are we here?” Cindy said.Without saying a word, I took the file and tossed it to their feet.“What is this” Cindy asked as she was picking it up.“You know I used to see this file in Charlotte’s laptop” I said “but I never dared to open it”Charlotte started shaking, realizing that the tables have actually turned and the chess game was now controlled by me.“I can explain” Charlotte replied as Cindy her gave a stare.“Your father used you too, to get to me” I said “and you guys just tamed the clown in me”Cindy tossed the file on the bed.“Listen,” Cindy replied “my dad used us and I know that what we did to you was unfair but we thought that we were doing the right thing”“The right thing?” I asked.“We were just young an
Charlotte and Cindy glanced at each other then stared back at me.“Uhm, Lesly is just a contract killer” Cindy said “he was hired to date me so that he could get a reason to do anything to you.”“So, the story you told me in the guest house about me and you dating, then this Lesly guy stabbing you is all real?” I asked.“Yeah” Cindy nodded.“Where is he now?” I asked.“He is the one who is managing the drug route that comes from Thailand, he was promoted after injecting you” Charlotte said.I couldn’t believe what my ears were hearing, in fact I just didn’t know what to say next because my whole life was basically a lie. Charlotte came towards me and tried to touch me.“Don’t touch me” I violently pushed her hand away from me “you ruined my life.”“We are so sorry Kat” Charlotte said.“What
After watching the news, I was now confident that these bastards were going to pay for everything they put me through. I could imagine Mr. Jacksons’ face when those news about the gala dinner were reported. My time to celebrate about the small wins was over and now it was time for me to go get my memory back so I met up with John the journalist in the city and we were going to meet the person who was going to help with it. I parked my car at one of the buildings as John instructed me to then we started walking by foot. “So, who is this person we are going to meet and what does he do?” I asked. “He’s just a private psychologist,” John replied “he helps people like you.” “What the heck is a private psychologist?” I asked. John just laughed a little “you’ll see,” he said. “I hope you are not taking me to those creepy voodoo psychics,” I replied. “No not at all,” John said. I took out a piece of paper with the details of the first
The following day I had a meeting with the clan leaders so Christine helped me prepare in the morning and then I was on my way to Mr. Jackson’s house. Since Kevin was busy with his granddad’s funeral I had to drive around alone, but his time as a driver now up and he also deserved to be driven too. I didn’t trust Jones’ men so the was no one that I was going to let any of them drive me. I finally arrived at the Jackson premises, and it was a very big house, this one was castle it felt like a king resided in that place. I parked my car in the drive way, then walked to the front door. Looking around, every corner of the yard had a security guard holding an AK. I rang the door bell and a helper opened the door. “Hello,” she greeted me “they’ve been waiting for you, this way.” She led the way to a certain room and opened the door, I looked at her. “Get in there, take off your clothes and grab a towel and leave your phone then follow me,” she instructed me
At 10 PM, I got into my car and drove all the way to the place I met John when he took me to Dr. Johnsons for the first time. John was already there, so when I got out of the car, he had one of his guys drive my car to a safe place. We walked all the way to Dr. Johnsons’ office with me feeling nervous about this treatment because it was an experimental treatment, we weren’t even sure if it would bring back my memory. We walked into Dr. Johnsons’ office and we found Dr. Johnsons and the middle-aged man ready to start the treatment process.“Are ready?” he asked.“Yeah,” I said “let’s get on with this.”“You have to go through these papers first,” the middle-aged man said.“What is this?” I asked.“This is proof that you actually agreed to this treatment, in case something goes wrong,” the middle-aged man said.I went through the page and everything
I thought that the process was going to take months and months but fortunately for me, I just went out for a week. It was unfortunate that I couldn’t get my memory back but I did remember that my dad mentioned something about the bookstore. So immediately when I woke up, I told Johnsons to send on of his men to go search for a small safety deposit box which might have been in the bookstore. Christine and I were booked into a guest house because we couldn’t go home, Mr. Jacksons’ men were surely watching my place.“So, who brought you to that room because I told Kevin not to bring you?” I asked.“John fetched us,” Christine said.“Okay,” I replied.I took my phone and dialed John’s number and after a few minutes of ringing he answered.“John listen, I want you to report about that file in your news bulletin tomorrow,” I said.Christine glanced at me.“Okay no
“Who do you think you are?” Mr. Jackson asked.“I think I am the guy that makes you shiver,” I replied.“Give us our property and we’ll leave you alone, we won’t come for you or any of your family members,” Mr. Jacksons said.“Speaking of properties,” I scoffed “I found out that 99% of everything you too own is actually mine,”“Where did you get that nonsense?” Mr. Zhang replied.I raised the contracts.“Here’s the proof right here,” I said.They gave each other a look of shame as I threw the contracts on the ground, they just stared at me with no word coming out of their mouths.“So, I give you, your property,” I said “you give me my property. Deal?”“I told you that we were supposed to kill this fool,” Zhang yelled at Mr. Jackson “feed him to the dogs just like we did with his
