95. THAT CANNOT BE JAKES
Last Updated:
2022-12-03 08:03:00In my rage I turned to the wall, strategizing on how to react. I could still hear them arguing but I could not make out what they were saying because my mind was preoccupied with different thoughts.
I don’t understand why they both are trying to ridicule me.
Just when I turned to give them a piece of myself, Kathy was no longer where she was earlier. I didn’t notice her walking out of the room so I was surprised.
I turned to the door and was quick enough to catch her back as she walked out in a rage, not even bothering to shut the door behind her.
“You are lucky you got out on time,” I said to myself.
I could, to an extent tolerate Lucas's excesses because he is a Halloway, my boss. But Kathy? Hell no. whoever she thinks she makes no difference to me.
I returned to Lucas who was fuming with rage. It was as if he wanted to burst. Though

“Jakes cannot be moving like that,” I thought. “This must be an intruder.”I stopped the shower to listen, and the person that opened the door also seemed to stop moving. My heart skipped several beats, wondering who it could be that is walking into my room.“Could it be Bale? Maybe he has come back to finish what Sebastian could not allow him to finish. Unfortunately for me, Sebastian is not here to defend me today.”A thousand and one thoughts were flashing through my mind. If I had listened to Walter, I wouldn’t be home by today. But where do I go? Sophia’s house is already out until I know what is truly going on. I could not reach Sebastian, my defender.“Oh my God! I would have gone to my former hospital to spend the night there with whoever was on the night shift. Or maybe go to the medical director’s house since he was a very good fri

“Yes, I need to tell him what is likely going to happen to me. That way, he would be ready if I don’t make it through cancer,” I thought. My heart was resolved but my lips were not cooperating. Tears were already forming in my eyes, threatening to come pouring down any moment. I quickly moved my eyes from him to the picture of his girlfriend on the wall. “You are yet to tell me who she is, I mean her name,” I said instead, unable to tell him what I wanted to say. I changed my mind because today seem not to be the right day for the bad news. He is in such high spirits, happy that he would finally be going to college. Let me allow him to enjoy this moment and not spoil it for him. “She is Alicia,” he said, his eyes on her picture and not even blinking as he speaks. I could see the joy on his face. The worried look he had on earlier when he saw how moody I suddenly b

As I picked up the phone and inputted my password, I discovered Joan had called me severally and left a message when I didn’t pick up.“Why was she calling?” I wondered.I quickly opened the text message and it reads, “Concerning Sebastian, I want you to see me immediately after you get to work. Something just came up and I need to talk to you. Make sure it is at least twenty minutes before the ward round. Treat it as urgent!”“Treat as urgent?” I muttered.“If anything is wrong, then I would find out once I get to work,” I reassured myself.I wanted to leave the food because I was so anxious to get to work on time so I could see her before the ward round as she said but I know Jakes won’t like it that he took his time to cook me. Besides, it was French toast, dipped in cinnamon egg batter, there’s no way I’m

Have you ever been in a situation and could not find the perfect word to use to explain how you were feeling? That was the situation I found myself in.The mist that covered the woman's figure could not allow me to see the face of this dreadful being that came out of my mom’s grave. She is not her because the shape I saw was thinner than her when she was alive.“Whoever this is, she does not mean good for me,” I thought.I could not see her clearly, yet I knew she was walking towards me, but slowly because for several minutes, I could not see her yet.Gradually, the mist started clearing away and I could now see her coming toward me. I was terrified. I wanted to run but could not, and neither could I shout for help. I was held spellbound by this spirit.My heart was beating so fast and loud, in a very harmonious way that you can hardly tell between it and when a

“Falling in love is not for doctors,” that’s one of the philosophies of one of my lecturers back in medical school.His reason? He said when a doctor falls deeply in love and got heartbroken because of the uncertainties of life, he or she might mistakenly give a patient the wrong treatment and even end up killing him.Though he used to say it as a joke, those words have always been a part of me, partially a philosophy that might be partly responsible for my approach to dating.As I was seeing Sebastian lying on that bed, nothing crossed my mind but the joy that I have finally seen him.As a doctor that I am, I had witnessed such scenes several times. Yet I could not read between the lines so I ran and fell on him, placing my head on his chest, my hair resting freely over his body.“I am so sorry sweetheart. It was all my fault!” I said al

I didn’t know it would be difficult to die. Even though I wanted to die, ironically I found myself struggling to survive. I changed my mind and decided to swim back to the surface but it was too late for me. I gathered the little strength left in me and pushed myself upward but I went not more than a few feet.My eyes began to close as the grip of death finally got a hold of me. In that moment of the throes of my journey to my final abode in the afterlife, the thought of how Jakes would survive without me is all that remained in my memory.Yes! Sebastian needs me in the afterlife, and so does Jakes. I got caught between choosing the one I love, and the one with whom the blood flowing through my veins I share.Regretting my action and thinking Jakes might forever remember me as being selfish, I decided to give my last fight, if perhaps I could win against death and remedy the damage that I was about to cause t

It was a hell of a night. After taking multiple bullets until I lost count of how many bullets found their way into my body, all hope that I would ever survive disappeared. My only fear was for those for whom I was fighting. If I die now without laying my hand on that paper, all I have been through are a waste!I wish I could speak one more time. I would have begged Debby to do all she can to find her dad’s paper and see that my mom comes out of prison. I wanted to show her how to access where I kept the papers to the shares that I have in my grandfather’s company because I had already instructed my lawyer to make her my beneficiary.I would rest in peace wherever I’m going if that is done. But that is not to be because my teeth are already clenching and had refused to part so I could mutter, even if it would be the last time I would ever speak to her.Oh, I hate this world, so unpredictable.&nb

As I entered Walter’s car, I don’t know what I was going to see. My dream terrified me so much that I almost started mourning Sebastian even before I get there. I already have a mental picture of what lay ahead of me.I wish he would have answered even one of the numerous questions that I asked him but he was just mum, focusing only on the wheel. My fear knew no bounds. My heart was pounding loudly. My hand was holding tightly to the car seat as if I was afraid of falling off.“God! Let this dream not come to pass this time around,” I prayed silently.My fear tripled when Walter pulled up in front of a house that was the same as the one I saw in my dream.“Walter, where are we?” I asked curiously just to confirm my fear and my dream.“This is Sebastian’s private apartment, this is where I brought him,” he said coldly.&

When my phone started ringing, I had the least intuition that it was going to be another twist of events.Now my brother is taken. Since I came to know about this paper, it has been nothing but heartache.“They have my brother,” I announced to Sebastian and Walter after getting off the phone.“Shit!” he cussed.We drive silently for a while, no one was talking. My mind was on freeing my brother and nothing else. They had asked for the Rubik’s cube and the necklace in exchange for him. I have nothing to lose if I hand them over to them. They said they are calling in the next two hours to tell me where to meet them and I must come alone and tell no one. That’s exactly what I am going to do, not even Sebastian would stop me from this.“Don’t worry. I will get your brother back to you with no harm done to him,” Sebastian had assur

Mr. Edwards noticed the look on Lucas’ face. “What is it?” Mr. Edwards asked curiously.“The Rubik’s cube is gone! Yet my office did not look like it was mobbed when I got in this morning! So how did he gain entrance in?”“He played you by using Ace as a distraction to get in,” Jack said.With the Rubik’s cube in hand of Sebastian, Lucas and his grandfather knew that the Halloways Company is bound to fall, just like Leo took out other companies if nothing is done.“Involving police and asking me to standby last night was the biggest mistake you made, Mr. Edwards,” Jack said. “I have my boy, trailing both Sebastian and Debby since they met at the Wreakin’ club. I am the only one that knows how he operates. I would have gotten him last night if I was allowed but you said you don’t trust me.”M

The next morning at the police station, Ace is sitting in the interrogation room. Shortly, Officer Steve walked into the room with a folder and dropped it on the table in front of Ace.“I thought you were the good guy until you started killing innocent people,” Officer Steve said as he sat opposite Ace.Ace chuckled. “You got the wrong guy!” Ace said.Officer Steve looked at him for a while then said, “The records in front of you said otherwise.”“Your records might be correct. But they are not talking about me, they are talking about Leo, and I am not Leo.”“So who are you?”“I am Ace! A-C-E! in case you can’t spell it.”“The information that reached us last night said that Leo was invading the Halloways Hospital. If you are not Leo, then what are you doi

As I wanted to leave the room, my eyes fell on a Rubik’s cube set on a sizable fridge in the corner. “I have seen something like that,” I thought. I tried to remember where and when but I could not so I decided to forget about it and leave.But as I made to go out, my mind was still on the Rubik’s cube. It was as if there was a rope tied to me from the Rubik’s cube, making my going out without dragging it along impossible. So I decided to carry it along.Just as I stepped out of the room to go, I felt a piece of metal touch my head. As I turned, there was Joan with a gun. She moved backward to leave some space between us.“What are you doing with a gun, Joan?”“Nothing. I just want that Rubik’s cube.”“And why should I give it to you?”“Because I have a gun.

When Sebastian initially approached the building, there was no sign of policemen around, not even the hospital security. Not seeing any security in sight only meant one thing to him; they cleared everywhere just to lure him into the building easily, so they could lock down the building and hem him in. But he was not going to make it that easy for them.“This is going to be tougher than I thought.”That was why he changed his plan and decided to create some panic by going behind the building to the powerhouse to knock out the power source.But just when he turned to go, a bright halogen light flashed at him, and every darkness that hid him before left!“Shit! I just caught made before I even started,” Sebastian muttered.“Oh! It’s you!” Ace said and turned off the torch.“Ace what are you doing?”

Sebastian and Debby kept arguing without making any progress. She was determined to go.“You don’t have to be worried about my safety,” Sebastian said. “Jack and Ace are going with me. I already notified them. So you just rest right here.”“If you are going down, I want to be there to go down with you. I’m ready to take this risk.”Debby felt it was a risk worth taking, besides she has cancer anyway. Dying from a bullet or getting caught is better than dying slowly of cancer.“Even if you stop me from going with you, I will still come after you. I love you too much to let you walk right into the danger zone all alone,” Debby persisted.“You are so stubborn,” Sebastian taunted her.“Oh yeah!” Debby chuckled and put her arm on his neck then continued, “A trait I picked up

Mr. Edwards brandished the gun with a mischievous smile on his face then said, “I sent you to do business for me and you were not afraid to run away with my money? You deserve not to be heard but to be killed!”Jack knew what he did. He knew Mr. Edwards was not blabbing. He knew what he can do.“Now tell me why I should not shoot you right now for betraying my trust for you and running away with my money?” Mr. Edwards threatened.Jack was unmoved. “That’s why I’m here,” he said. “I am tired of running. I want to be free, I want to be able to pay you back all the money I stole from the company.”“And you are sure you will be able to pay that money even in your entire lifetime?”“The information I brought is worth more than your entire company. That is nothing compared to whatever I’m owing.&r

When Debby walked through the hospital that day with her things, everyone was looking at her, wondering why she was packing. She was so ashamed.Her life since she joined that hospital kept going up and down, from one trouble to another and now she is been sacked.“Life has been fucking unfair to me. So fucking unfair!” she cussed under her breath.From the corner of her eyes, she could see Joan smiling at her as she made her way through the door. She is probably happy that she lost once again. It was only Brian that came to help her with her things. He stood with her until she entered a taxi and left.She had wanted to go home to pick up her necklace after work before going over to Sebastian’s place but no more. The pain she was feeling was so much that only a good cry with her head on his broad chest could be the only remedy. If it were before, she would be thinking of going
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 126. YOU ARE FIRED!
It was a Monday morning already. It’s almost two days since Sophia my friend lured me to a club and made me get drunk. All through the weekend, I didn’t go home apart. I had several calls from Jakes saying he wanted to see me but after getting drunk, all the promises I made of coming home to see him were history.But there was something else. Before I left Sebastian’s house for work, he told me to stay away from my house as much as possible and also try to get Jakes to do so. I agreed. But I know I lied to him. I might not be going home to sleep, for the time being, moreover, I like being with him at all times. But I cannot let my necklace in the room. I need to get it.My dad gave it to me a few days before he died. He told me I would be needing that necklace one day but never told me why nor do I know what it would be useful for apart from just wearing it as an ornament.That’s
