He flippantly told me he hasn't brought any other woman here besides me and his wife. He was casual about it, but it didn't go down well with me.
He was talking about his wife. It implies, besides his wife, he hadn't thought of anyone else worthy of accompanying him to the Confluence hotel?
It was like a volcano was going to erupt inside me. He has a wife and am sure he loves her considering how sweetly he said it.
My inner part felt sweaty and I totally lost interest in food. I am not interested in eating anymore.
I smiled and nodded though as if nothing was happening, but something was actually happening in me.
He said that
"Bastard!!" Dare Wilson thundered and I couldn't help but shiver. How can he yell on a woman like that? Is she a kid?He didn't care if she was injured on such a sophisticated, slippery Marble floor? He should be more concerned about her safety rather than being upset."I'm sorry...I..a..m really sorry….sir" Rebecca stammered. The wine splash on my feet and I saw her rushed in and came out with a napkin."You are so irresponsible! What is difficult about serving an ordinary wine? You are an Imbeciles from the lifeline of idiots…" Dare Wilson was raining insults at the woman."I am sorry sir...I was not looking.." Rebecca was apologising with a shivering hand and bent to clean my sneaker
Jordan glanced at Tina. He knew the whole show and drama that they both put up. It's only Dare Wilson that is blind to such minor details.Instead he was insulting the woman. The thing he was supposed to pay attention to was different from what he was doing.And at the end of the day, he was trying to bribe him. He was being paid for the job he was doing. Why should he be looking for another encouragement from a victim's father?Tina chuckled aloud and glanced back at him. She didn't know Jordan got it, that means he also is the type that pays attention to details."I didn't know you got the drama. Hahahaha, that Rebecca of a woman should have been an actress" Tina said aloud, putting two of he
Kunle sat before the fidgeting Collins. He stared at him and saw beads of sweat rose on his forehead. His hands were sweaty as well and he shakingly cleaned it on his shirt.He seemed to swallow several lumps of saliva within a minute and his eyes were portraying fear."Hello Collins Bruno" Kunle began and Isabella sat with half of her ass on the edge of the table separating the two men.Collins raised his head and said hello. But his voice was shaking, an indication that he was scared." Relax and be sincere in answering our questions. Just a few questions and it would be over.We m
Jordan paused and looked at Tina. The latter looked at an empty space, thinking and analysing a possibility." The autopsy report for the fingerprints found on Kitty's is here right?" She asked, now glancing at Jordan whose head was placed on the back rest of his seat." Yeah" he answered, thinking and contemplating on his own thoughts. Maybe Tina can think and analyse things faster than him."Compare the fingerprints with Pascal's. The probability is there that he killed Kitty and he was shot to conceal it.." Tina asked.Jordan squinted and glanced at Tina. That is possible though. Such things happen in movies and home com where they destroy any evidence or link that might get them implicated.
"Thank you all. I will do the necessary" Tina said and sent them away. She doesn't want to disclose her identity that she's a detective.And she isn't going to let them call the police to her home. She is a Police herself. She will do what is expected of her.Her neighbors all left and she was left alone and Jordan. The two of them went in and saw the interior parts turned upside down.Was it the recording they were after and scattered everything in her room or was it something else? For instance, her groceries in the refrigerator were poured out on the floor and the refrigerator left open.She can't possibly keep such things like a microchip inside a refrigerator. Why would they waste her food and d
Jordan stared at Isabella, he was not pleased with her actions nor Kunle's. They keep arguing at the slightest provocation.Can't one of them learn to ignore the other for the sake of peace? They bring their personal grudges into the work.Even Tina the new detective will soon guess there's something about them, that is if she hasn't guessed already?Tina is the smart type. She can read things by just giving it a glance. He expected them to behave themselves properly if not because of him at least for Tina's sake.Isabella glanced at Kunle and saw the latter staring at her. They both locked eyes for a few seconds until Isabella took her eyes away.&
Jordan went to check on the patient in the hospital. He was not out of coma yet. He looked at him properly and told the doctors when he wakes up, whatever time it is, he should be called.If it were possible for the nurses not to be aware of it, it would be better. But if that is impossible, he should be contacted immediately without letting anyone else know.The doctors said ok. He left for his house. His best moments of the day were those spent in the office or out there with people around him.Whenever he arrives home, he will be greeted with the absence of Rachel. She was his life and gave his existence a meaning.He didn't just get to know her when they got married, on the contrary, he had known
The surgery was successful and Rachel was wheeled out of the theatre. She was weak and couldn't even raise her fingers. She looked pale and dying.The baby had been transferred to the Neonatal ward and placed in the incubator. But he was concerned about his wife, about Rachel's recovery.It was a preterm labour and the baby was born premature. If Rachel hadn't experienced the hell she went through at the hands of those heartless beings, what happened wouldn't have been, they probably wouldn't have had Jora as premature.When she was taken to the private ward, he sat by her and held her hand, watching her to sleep. But rather than sleeping, Rachel seemed to be getting worse.The doctors came, attendin
There was silence that followed. Tina felt her eyes teary at his words. What made him obsessed was his love, not entirely because he blamed himself for her death like Isabella told her.He couldn't quite accept the fact that his love was gone. He couldn't take it off his mind that he was never going to see her again in this life.She wished he would love her half like he loved Rachel. She desired to be loved by a man that much. She wants to know the feeling of being loved.She sniffled and that attracted Jordan. He turned her to face him. Why is she sobbing? Tina bowed her head,she didn't want him to see her teary eyes.She turned to walk away,at least that would help her to clean her tears but Jorda
Tina shrugged " I don't have a problem with that" she replied and Jordan started the car. On their way to Duro's Mansion, they both cracked jokes, laughed and smiled along.Eventually Jordan arrived at the gate of the Mansion. Tina was mesmerised by the beauty of the house. The gate itself cost a fortune."Are you Senator Duro's son?" Tina asked, surprised. She just remembered that Jordan's last name was Duro." Yeah...is there a problem?" Jordan asked, driving past the gate towards the garage. She didn't know he was related to the Senator?"Yeah..nope" Tina stammered. He is from such an influential family and yet does the work of a detective?" If
Jordan shook his head. They didn't agree to meet in Duro's Mansion. Why is Jora bringing up a request now? "No my love, we didn't tell her she will be coming to the Mansion" Jordan shook off the idea."But daddy, if you tell her, she isn't going to say no. Why don't you just tell her the lunch will be in the house. Just tell her dad, I trust she won't mind" Jora declared.Jordan disagreed. He can't tell her to come over to the house. He hadn't said anything about it to her, he doesn't want to appear like an opportunist." No Jora. She won't come to the house and if you insist on having it your way, I will call it off" Jordan threatened.The chauffeur was surprised. The young miss was happ
Huh huh? Lunch? Tina wore a forced smile. How can she come over to her grandparent's house for lunch? She is not in some relationship with Jordan and doesn't want to give his parents a false impression." I... actually.. I.. have a date with someone else"Tina was tactically refusing when Jordan frowned. He was wondering who Tina was having an appointment with, is it Greg?"I will come pick you for lunch. Send me your address" Jordan cut in. He wants to know who the fellow was that she was going to see besides Greg." Deal?" Jora asked and before Tina would answer, Jordan said "deal" That way they parted and went their separate ways."Make her my mother, daddy,I really like her" Jora
"... you want to go with me right? I will put that in mind. You want to be like other kids whose daddies bring them to school right? I will work on it and see that it happens just like you want it.But I want you to never doubt my love for you. It hurts me when you do. Is that clear?" Jordan demanded.Why is everything getting complicated for him? First Tina was stealing his heart and giving him a restless mind. Next Rachel accuses him of making her restless in the great beyond. And now it's Jora accusing him of not loving her.Why is there so much mounted on his emotions and mind at once? It's making him feel depressed and unhappy.Jora nodded and asked " That means you will get me a new mum?". 
Jordan slept the entire evening to the next day. He woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and fine. He got out of bed and went to freshen up.He called Kunle and the latter answered with a dull, lazy voice. He wondered if Kunle spent the night in Isabella's place,the bedroom voice cannot be mistaken." Lover boy, you guys can take a break. The commissioner approved of the leave. Ask Isabella to inform Tina.." Jordan instructed.He would stay back and see how fast the healing of his arms went. He would be travelling to see Jora and his parents.His dad had said he wants them to talk. when he is free off duty, he should come around.
Patrick stood with his hands in his pants pocket. He looked expressionless but that doesn't hide his sadness from being noticed.He stared at Kate. He was quiet, this is the woman who has plunged him into the present sorrow he was experiencing.He loved her deeply and she treated his love with hate and rejection. He had thought it would end there, but he didn't know a greater sadness was ahead.He would have forced her to agree to having his daughter but she was married at the time. Struggling with a married woman over her child is like calling her a Married harlot.He calmed down and today, he lost an only daughter. The most painful part of it all was that he didn't get to meet her and she never got
"Let this whole interrogation thing stop Jordan. Tina isn't here anymore, she has moved to a new apartment and that's great. If you don't believe my girlfriend, go in there and see for yourself.Isabella didn't inform you, sorry about that. It was probably an oversight. She didn't know she should have told you.." Kunle was advocating.Isabella can't help but feel excited at the way Kunle was handling the situation. She knew she wouldn't have won the argument with Jordan, if Kunle wasn't here.Jordan just stood up and said nothing else. Tina had left for another apartment? It's probably not her first apartment that was raised by those rascals." Her address?" Jordan asked but was stunned when Is
The last person that Tina thought he would find that afternoon was Jordan. He stood with his huge frame with Kunle. They were also surprised that Tina was also in the restaurant, in company of detective Greg.Greg is a well known detective in the field of a private investigator, a lot of other detectives knows him. Often the detectives from the force headquarters sometimes join forces with Greg to achieve a common goal." Hello detectives Jordan and Kunle" Greg greeted and bowed slightly. He offered his hand and Jordan took it and next Kunle." It's nice meeting you again detective Greg" Jordan chimed but his eyes were fixed on Tina. In fact his entire attention was on her."Good to you detecti
