Isabel was feeling uneasy. She was very worried about Antoine and all she did was think about Antoine ever since she got that message from him. Isabel could not help but remember the day when Antoine told her that they were moving back to the town where they used to live in and he will be working at Zion again. Isabel was thrilled but same could not be said about Antoine. He was indeed happy about the promotion and position but regarding moving back was a bitter sweet moment for Antoine. He did not looked as ecstatic as he should be and Isabel knew that although she ignored it but thinking about it now made her feel anxious. Isabel was clueless about the past and that is why she was facing difficulty in handling present. Only if she could have some answers then maybe she could have done something rather being dense about everything even about her husband. Antoine was becoming difficult to read day by day and things were getting out of hands from Isabel. She started at her cell phone
Jerika had been driving alone from quite some time. She stopped driving and parked her car in from t of a dilapidated building. She looked around to see someone but the place was quiet with no soul around her within the numerous miles around her. It was a destroyed building with no inhabitants. The place looked a bit of scary and sun was about to go down. The surroundings were not much appealing to Jerika but still she saw no other option than to go inside. No matter how much she despised the fact and the voice from inner core which was telling her not to go inside, she still decided to go. She brought a gun along just in case and now she felt a bit safe although she hardly knew to use it. She believed that if any danger does come towards her, her senses would guide her in using the only arm she had as a precaution. After glancing all around her surrounding and placing her gun closer to her hidden in her overlong jacket, she stepped inside the building.It was messy all aroun
The middle aged man pushed Brian out of his car. Brian’s hands were tied but his mouth was not. Brian was cussing and swearing his abductor whereas the abductor was whistling and enjoying himself, he was not paying any attention to Brian. Brian was being ignored and that was making him more grumpy and annoyed.“You swine, you dog, untie my hands, you pig and then I will tell you. You bastard attacked me from behind like a coward. Release me and face me like a man and then I will show you what it cost to mess with me” Brian was letting his frustration out on his abductor when he was forcing Brian out of the car.Brian was resistant and not cooperating but his abductor was surely older but he had a heavy build and he was strong so he had no problem handling Brian and his tantrums besides he had experience in the past. Brian saw the surroundings he was familiar with. It was his abductor’s place or one could more appropriately say, a dumpster. The p
Jerika was moving around the hospital in order to find Daulat when her cell phone rang. She picked up. It was a call from Martin. ***** Phone conversation starts ***** Jerika: Hello Martin Martin: Hi boss. I was just informed about what happened. Are you alright? What about Mr. Mark? Jerika: I am fine Martin. Thanks for asking and Mr. Mark is hanging in there. He is getting help he needs. Martin: Do you need me there? Jerika: Oh no… everything is covered. I can take care of everything besides I already have help. I will see you tomorrow okay. [some loud, high pitch screaming, shrieking voices were coming from the backgrounds] Jerika: What’s that? Is someone’s… puppy dying? Martin: No… it’s a g… girl Jerika: Why is she making such voices? Martin: Apparently she is crying Jerika: Why is she crying? Is she in pain? You know what you should help her Martin: I really can’t Jeri
Isabel went to her husband ward immediately but she was stopped by few policemen on the guard outside his room. Isabel was furious at that time and she had no desire to tackle cops but what she desired no longer mattered.“Ma’am you can’t go inside” one of the officer stopped Isabel as she was entering Antoine’s room.“He is my husband. I need to meet him. I am family. You can’t deny me going inside” Isabel said in a bit loud voice than usual.“I can ma’am. Your husband is giving his statement and there should be no disturbance not even from the family which means you” Officer said in his rude and mean voice. Isabel clenched her fist in frustration. First it was Jerika and now this man. What was wrong with everybody? Why she was the target for everyone? Jerika thought everybody was behaving in this manner purposely. She was just angry and disappointed but she did not know who to blame exactly.
***** Zion mansion *****Daulat was standing in Greg’s study room with lowered head because of shame. He failed Greg and it was for the first time. Greg was disappointed and Daulat could sense he messes up big because it involved Jerika.“I was hoping for things to get better and I had trust that I trusted the right man” Greg said in as a taunt to Daulat.“I know I let you down” Daulat said shamefully.“Oh no son, you did not let me down. I just lose my trust and I promise it won’t happen again” Greg continued with insulting Daulat right on face.“I will find her. I promise” Daulat said.“Don’t make promises. We are not in fairy tale and besides what other options do you have but I still don’t understand how could this happen?” Greg said with calm voice but he was suffering from anxiety.“Antoine is on loose but he is in radar” Daulat said.
Two officers dragged Antoine and forced him to sit on a chair in an interrogation room. Antoine looked exhausted. He was tired and he looked upset too. Antoine looked at his thumb as he did not want to focus anywhere else. Officer Barney too came in. Barney eyes Antoine curiously up and down and then looked at his subordinate for questioning. Barney was surprised to find him, Antoine sitting there. Barney was only informed that a man was caught but it was quite surprising for him to find that the man was none other than Antoine himself.“How come he is sitting here?” Barney asked his subordinates in disbelief.“Sir we found him” one of Barney’s subordinate answered.“Where?” Barney asked looking at Antoine whereas latter continued to gaze at his thumb by lowering his eyes.“Outside… He was trying to…” subordinate said but he got interrupted by Barney.“Get away” Barney
Jerika was sleeping on a simple cot sound asleep. She looked like tired even in her deep sleep. A man walked towards her with handcuffs in his hand. He looked at Jerika who was sleeping like an exhausted creature in the most unsophisticated manner. If it had not been the exhaustion then definitely someone might had guessed that she was intoxicated or something. Some hairs were on Jerika’s face and the man removed the hair and flocked them away behind her ear. Jerika realized in her sleep that someone was near her, touching her. It seems like she was not in as deep sleep as it seemed like watching her. Jerika lazily opened her eyes and scanned the room she was sleeping in. As she was about to get up, the man handcuffed her from her bed she was sleeping in before. This came as shock for Jerika. She did not gather anything which just happened for some time but as soon as she understood, horror spread on her face. She looked up to see who did that to her.***** Back in the
“Here enters the devil showing his fangs and dirty horns” Barney commented when Antoine admitted that he did fired the gun indeed on the video. Antoine was about to react on insulting remark of Officer Barney when someone barged inside the room getting attention from everyone. Barney was annoyed by that disturbance and he rudely asked, “What is it? And it better be something worthy?” The man on the door nervously looked around. He gets a bit intimidated looking at everyone staring back at him. “Hey, boy… Are you on vacation or sight-seeing? What do you want?” Barney said in annoyance. “There is a man outside. He claims to be an attorney for Mr. Antoine Mark” the man on the door answered. “It’s Dr. Dr. Antoine Mark” the lawyer made his way and barged inside the interrogation room followed by few other officers trying to stop him entering but all in vain. “And who are you?” Barney asked rudely. “I am his lawyer and here are the o
Antoine was brought in an isolated cell after a very long interrogation and questioning. He was drained of all the limited energy he had. He had not got any sleep whole night. He was all alone in the mess. John Riley, for whom he was working, was dead and Antoine was the main suspect. Whenever he got in any trouble it was John Riley who brought him out but now Antoine had no escape. No one was standing in his side and he was pretty sure that even his wife, Isabel thinks that he was guilty and how could she not. He was standing there doing nothing when John bled to meet his end. Antoine was in shock when he saw John in that dreadful situation. Nobody saw that coming and Antoine could not expect any least. Antoine saw someone standing behind when he was sitting in a chair in a small room which included few more chairs and a square table. The room was spacious for few people but could not accommodate many. The environment within the room was cold and scary and it would be understatemen
“What proof is it? Can it prove his innocence?” Brian asked. “No… not really. But it helps in proving someone else’s involvement” Jerika said. “Who?” Brian asked. “You… it is the proof against you” Jerika answered. “I want to look at this proof. I want to know why you so persistently believe my involvement in your late husband’s demise” Brian said. Jerika had been blaming him and Brian was more than eager to know why? Brian knew he was not a saint and he silently prayed that whatever the proof Jerika holds against him should not be enough. He remembered nothing of the sot Jerika was talking about but Brian knew exactly what he was capable of and that worried him. He did not wish to become the reason of causing pain to Jerika. But Brian also knew he cannot run away from the truth… the least he could do was to find out what the commotion was a;; about in the first place. Jerika grabbed her laptop and played a video saved on the pen drive. The vi
Jerika ran inside her house and then inside her room. She opened her cupboard which had a small safe in it. She opened the safe using the code only known to her and there lies a pen drive. She stare at the pen drive intensely and then brought it out as it was time to run away but as she was running to exist, she was startled when she heard a familiar voice. “What’s that?” Brian said looking at the pen drive which was hold tightly in Jerika’s grip. Brian was sitting in the dark on a chair placed on the extreme corner of the room. Jerika did not notice him before unless he decided to speak and come out in a bit of light. Jerika was really surprised when she saw Brian as she was not expecting him but how did he found her and even if he knew where Jerika went, how was he able to reach their before Jerika… it was crazy… truly crazy but then he was Brian. Brian could see surprise and confusion all written on Jerika’s face but he was keener on knowing what was in her hand. She took
Daulat peaked inside the room where Jerika was lying. He started at Jerika helpless lying on the bed, breathing with the help of machines. She looked in pain even in her sleep. Daulat flinched at the sight. He knew he could not surrender to his feelings but he was overwhelmed and there was no question about it. He looked around to see if there was someone around to stop him entering the room as it was restricted as per doctor’s instructions.Daulat sneaked inside Jerika’s room. She was asleep but still breathing and that counts everything at that moment. Daulat sat on the side of her bed and caresses her head and hair out of love and care. He was overwhelmed but his eyes were determined as he knew deep inside him Jerika will be fine and no matter how serious her condition is, she will make it and come back to life. She is lot more stubborn to be defeated by death so easily. He looked at her for few seconds and then he took her hand in his hand and pressed it light
As Jerika fell on the floor, Antoine was dumbstruck. It was Martin who rushed towards Jerika and tried to help her. When he realized that something serious was up, he called on emergency number to call out ambulance. By then more staff was there to help Jerika and everyone rushed to hospital and so did Antoine.Everyone was waiting outside the emergency room where Jerika was being treated. Everyone was evidently worried and there were low whispers. Antoine was standing away from the crowd to avoid their gazes which were accusing him for Jerika’s fallen health. Antoine was not sure why he was there. He just needed to know if everything was alright. He planned to leave once doctor declared Jerika to be okay but doctor was taking his time more than usual. Was it really serious?Suddenly like time froze and silence prevailed except a loud knocking of walking stick on the floor announcing the arrival of Greg Zion. He was not seen by everyone in person but everyone kne
Jerika woke up to put off her alarm as put last night before going to sleep. As she tried to stand, she felt a sharp pain radiating in her head and body. She looked for medicine but found none. She realized that’s he has some back in her office. She went to the bathroom to get prepared for the day as she chose not to miss it.“You getting ready for office?” Isabel said to Jerika rubbing her sleepy eyes.“Yes… what are you doing getting up so early in the morning? Get some more sleep” Jerika said while fixing her hairs.“Aren’t you tired?” Isabel asked leaning on the door to take support. Isabel was exhausted and under after effect of alcohol consumption.“I am and mostly I am hammered from last night. Don’t know how will I get through the whole day?” Jerika said with a faint smile.“Why don’t take a day off?” Isabel suggested.“A lot is going on.
Jerika was dumbstruck when she saw some woman kissing Brian and she felt anger building in her veins when she saw no rejection from Brian. How could he just do something like that especially in front of her? Brian did take his time but he removed himself from the woman and it seemed like that woman was bit hurt when Brian pulled himself off.“You are back” woman said. Her eyes were watery which baffled Brian. “You look good”Brian smiled in irony “thanks for the complement but who are you?”“I am Sandra, your wife” woman said. Brian took a step back and stared at the woman who was claiming to be Brian’s wife. Jerika’s heart fell hearing those words. She too felt like shedding tears but she composed herself and decided to stay strong.“You are my wife!!!” Brian asked as if he was trying to confirm.“Of course I am. How else did I find you? Especially here” Sandra sai
Antoine was standing and looking at Isabel and Daulat whereas Daulat was trying to pacify crying Isabel. Daulat was not comfortable in pacifying some women he barely know but he gathered that he cannot leave her alone and besides she was connected to Jerika who was still missing so she became important for Daulat but only with reason. Isabel could not believe that Antoine was being blamed for Jerika’s disappearance in the beginning but now when she heard with her own ears that Antoine took a shot on Jerika knowingly, she had nothing else to think but to question the basis of her trust on her most trusted people, on her own husband. All Isabel had were questions and chaos in mind but she was devastated even without knowing anything for sure. She was afraid that truth might be hurtful or some kind of deception and she was not sure if she could take it. It was an emotionally trying time for Isabel and she was not handling the situation too well. Daulat noticed Isabel and her stat
