All Chapters of Cold Vengeance: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I tense under his touch as he leads me towards his car after stepping out of the elevator.What's in his mind?What's this important thing that Jeff want to talk to me about?As he reverses out of the parking lot towards his office, I can't help but notice the nervousness in his eyes.It's so evident.I'm so much engrossed into thoughts such that i don't realise that we just branched and we're heading towards his house.“Jeff, you've missed your way to the office?!”“I know...” He replies absentmindedly, still focusing on the road ahead.“We're going to the house. It's safe there.”I just nod.I can't keep on pestering him so I give him the benefit of doubt.Ten minutes later, we're in his house and I'm seated on the couch as he pours me something to drink. “Darl... ”He nervously calls my na

I'm trying to cope with life here. It's not a smooth ride but through thick and thin, I'm making it. For the past one year, I've been recognised by the prison's officials for being of good discipline.My family and friends haven't gotten tired of visiting me in prison and I'm glad they've all been understanding.As for my lawyer, he hasn't gotten any tangible information about George or Geoffrey  or Kate. Apparently, they shifted from where they used to stay to an unknown place.Geoffrey's house has been secured with a lock ever since and no one has been seen anywhere near it. My instincts tell me that he's still alive...somewhere.According to my family, my house in the other town is still intact and they're still collecting rent from the one my parents left for me. Today is one of those days when I wake up in high spirits.The other inmates are busy doing one thing or the other but I'm seate

 DARLENE“This city has changed a whole lot!”I exclaim as we drive past the city centre towards a leafy suburbs in the outskirts of the city. Geoffrey's driver is on the wheel and Sandra is seated in the passenger seat. Geoffrey and I take the back seat and his arms don't seem to let my body go.All I do is to lean on him, relishing all the memories of the time we had together a over a year ago.“You've lost a lot of weight love. You haven't been feeding well!”He observes. “What's there to be fed on behind those steel doors?”I chuckle, making Sandra chuckle as well.Doesn't  it feel great to be in the arms of someone you love? Someone you've been thinking about all through, wondering why he abandoned you while you needed him most, not knowing that he is lying in a hospital bed  somewhere fighting for his dear life!Prison is

JEFF I'm in a warm room when I finally come around.I can feel some parts of my body but my vision is blurry.I strain to open my eyes but I'm met with semi darkness.The more I struggle to open them, the more they hurt. “He's awake!”I hear someone whisper beside my bed. I open my mouth to speak but I realise I can't.It's like it's sealed or there's a mask covering it.I try to lift my hands but it's like I'm pinned down coz they can't move. I can feel someone hovering over me, his/her hands on my face, trying to open my eyes. They hurt!Really hurt like shit. “Geoffrey!”Someone calls from a far. Yes. Geoffrey is my name.The voice sounds familiar too.Wait a minute!That must me Jasper... My lawyer. Wait!Where the hell am I?

DARLENE “I have good news...”Sandra says one evening after dinner.She has been working in George's company, the only one he could take over, for almost two weeks now.She has been monitoring George's and Jayson's movements all along. “Yeah. What have you found out?”Jeff asks excitedly. “See, Kate has been visiting the company despite her husband warning her against it. She wants to be made the managing director despite the husband being the CEO. I overheard them arguing, Kate threatening to expose him if he doesn't make her the MD.” “Trouble in paradise already!”I say absent mindedly. “Do you think he'll make her the MD?”Jeff asks. “Yeah, I think he will. I overhead him telling Jayson that he's considering doing so.” &ldq
