Chapter 110

John's POVThe warden seemed quite suspicious. Everyone has a skeleton in their cupboard. But it looks like Edward has a big skeleton in his. “How did the case go? It must have been rough, judging from the look on your face,” Louis asked. “They're going to give the final judgement in three weeks' time,” I replied. “Sucks for you, I guess,” he said. “Yeah man. I need enough evidence to win this case,” I sighed in frustration. “How about you and the warden? You both seem to be so attached lately,” he asked curiously. I hesitated a bit. “He just found interest in me.” “But you seem troubled whenever he calls you into his office,” he added. “Louis, you've been in this prison for a long time. Can you tell me something that you have noticed about him?” I requested politely. “By ‘him’ you mean the warden?” “Yes.” I affirmed. “Mr. Edward Smith has been a crafty man since the day I saw him,” he explained. My instincts flared. “What do you mean?” “Edward is hard to understand. One

Chapter 111

John's POVSurprised or shocked, I couldn't actually place my emotions at the moment. Why would the warden do something like that for me, right in public? Questions reeled through my mind, and I couldn't get answers to them. I didn't feel pity for the lifeless body next to me. All I cared about was what risks or threats this action could pose to the warden's job. After our meals, we were asked back to our cells by the guards. A few minutes later, I was interrupted by a guard who came into the cell to take me. “The warden wants you in his office right away,” he demanded. Left with no choice, I followed him as he led the way to his office. “Mr. Stones. The man of the game,” he smiled as I was ushered into his office. “You seem too excited for a man who just murdered a man down there,” I said shockingly. He smirked. “What's with the sudden act? I did it to save you. Besides, you can't deny that you're a torturer yourself.” I locked my gaze onto him as I took a seat. “What ar

Chapter 112

Sarah's POVJohn's plan was certainly hard to pull off. What if I mess this up? What if it doesn't go as planned? A lot of questions reeled through my mind. It was barely two weeks until the final judgement, and I was certain that Charles had everything in his favour. On my way back from doing some grocery shopping, I decided to pay Mum a visit. We haven't been on good terms, but she has been trying to see if she can come to a term of unity with me. “Hey mum,” I announced my presence as I walked into her house. “Sarah, is that really you?” She says surprisingly as she saw me standing in the sitting room. Tears of joy started flowing through her eyes as she rushed to hug me. “I'm so happy to see you,” she said joyfully. “I won't say I am happy. But I guess I had a little change of mind. You deserve a chance,” I replied. “What do you want me to do in order to make things right?” she asked softly. “At this point, mum, I don't know. You took away a man I cherished,” I lamente

Chapter 113

Sarah's POV“Hit it, we're running out of time. We don't have much time on our side,” I yelled. “I'm doing my best, ma'am,” he replied. “Just shut up and drive.” In no time, we got to the prison. I quickly rushed out of the car and ran towards the visitors section. “I'd love to see Mr. John Stones,” I requested urgently. My voice reeked with urgency and impatience. “The warden has strictly instructed that we should reject any visitors today, ma'am,” he replied. “You've got to be kidding. You know John, right? Ti's is urgent, please,” I pleaded. “I'm afraid there's nothing I can do,” he replied. “You need to…” “Leave now!” he instructed, his voice reeking with so much command. I observed the environment and realised that it wasn't so welcoming for me. This isn't a coincidence. This must be one of his plans, knowing that I would get to the truth eventually. I need to come up with a plan. Mum! I rushed out and went back into my car. “Let's go back to my mother's house,” I

Chapter 114

John's POVIt was time for the mission. We were all geared up to face the worst. Even though I strictly instructed that we should avoid violence, we were ready for violence as well. “I'm counting on this, man,” Edward said as he gave me a soft pat on the shoulder. He looked very excited and happy to embark on this mission. “Let's have our mind in the plan. I'll love to do a quick review with the crew when we get into the van,” I requested. “They're all yours,” he replied. When we arrived at Charles' house, one of our men silently took out the front men, giving us access into the house. We slowly progressed into the mansion without encountering any troubles. “You're going to lead the way now,” I whispered to Edward.He affirmed positively and quickly moved to the front to lead us into the secret room.Our torches were on, and we slowly progressed. We eventually got to the door and tactically opened it. Surprisingly, it was an ambush. “Let's retreat immediately,” I commanded.

Chapter 115

Sarah's POVThe scene displayed on the television shocked the audience. They showed John walking into a room, armed to the teeth. “Don't worry, darling. I know everything is going to be alright,” I whispered to him. “This evidence has ruined everything we have against them,” Russell sighed and sank on his seat. “Your honour, as you can see, John isn't just a sadist. He is also an armed killer,” Robert announced. I looked around in court, expecting to see Rosaline. I knew I was wrong to have trusted her. Because of her, I've screwed the whole plan up. “Mr. John Stones, do you have anything against the evidence before us?” The Judge asked. John cleared his throat as he looked at me again. “Your honour, this evidence is a lie,” John claimed. “Is your lawyer aware of this?” She asked. “No, your honour,” he replied. “So, not only were you found guilty of this crime, you also kept away such useful information from your lawyer,” the judge said. Things were getting heated up in

Chapter 116

Sarah's POV“What! Impossible!” I yelled. Silly quickly hung up the phone without saying any other thing. I quickly got out of the bed and dressed up. “What's going on, baby? You seem worried. Can you calm down?” John asked worriedly. “I am in no condition to be relaxed right now. I need to get to my mother and fast,” I explained with a perplexed expression. “Can we talk about this?” He asked softly. I ignored him and quickly rushed out of the house. I rushed to my car, and my driver quickly sped off to my mother's house. As the clock kept ticking, my heart raced immensely. I didn't want to believe this news, but it sounded so real. Is this one of her plans to lure me in again? That's totally impossible, Lily has been avoiding her since she turned against me. My brain reeled with several questions as the driver approached my house. “Wait right here!” I ordered as I rushed out of the car. “Mum, mum!!” I screamed as I rushed into the house. I pushed the door open immediat

Chapter 117

John's POV I felt so helpless as I watched her cry out her heart. My clothes were getting soaked in her tears, and she wasn't ready to stop. I have never seen her in such a devastating state, and I am not willing to see her like this again. Eventually, she fell asleep on my lap. I quietly carried her to the room and made sure she was comfortable. I pressed a soft kiss on her forehead and headed out immediately. I needed to have a personal meeting with the inspector. He insisted that I shouldn't tell Sarah about it. “Hello, Johnson,” I shook his hand as I walked into his office. “Mr. Stones. You're highly welcome. Make yourself comfortable,” he gestured towards a sofa before me. “You have a perfect sofa,” I complimented. “Thank you. Here is the bullet we acquired from the scene,” he handed me a nylon file where the bullet was. “It looks like it had a writing inscribed on it,” I observed. “That's the reason I gave it to you. I'll love you to read it,” he suggested. I looke

Chapter 118

John's POVNot again? I can't lose you now. My heart dated as they rushed Sarah in an ambulance to the hospital. After hearing a gunshot, Sarah fell to the ground. Time seized as I thought the bullet was aimed at her. But when I looked closely, I realized that it just grazed her skin, and she slumped during the shock. Things are really getting out of hand. This is a clear message that the killer lurks around us. “Doctor, what is going on?” I asked desperately as the doctor walked out of the ward she was admitted into. “Are you here for Sarah?” He asked. “Yes, sir. How is she doing?” I asked. “She's fine. It was just a little trauma. She'll be fine. I suggest that you allow her to get enough rest,” he highlighted. “No problem, doc,” I replied. “Can I go in now?” “Yes, of course you can. She's resting anyway. I'll love it if you don't wake her up,” he replied. I slowly walked into the ward, with my eyes scanning the whole ward for my beautiful damsel. I walked towards her

Chapter 119

Sarah's POVIt was a long day. I mean, this is the longest day I have ever had in a while. When we arrived at the hospital, we requested a file bearing my name. But it took longer than I had expected. Unfortunately, we didn't get what we were looking for as well. “This is useless,” I sighed. “We'll get what we want. We just have to be persistent,” John assured. “Any lead in my mother's killer?” I asked curiously as the question just popped into my mind. “I'm afraid no,” he replied. “Today is the worst day for me. Everything isn't going well,” I lamented. “I guess I have something that will cheer you up. Let us leave this place,” he suggested as he gave me his hand. “What are you up to?” I giggled. “Let's make it a surprise, I'll be driving anyway,” he said. We quickly got into my car, and he sped off. I had no idea where he was talking to me, and I didn't want to keep throwing silly questions at him. My heart raced in expectation as he drove. Eventually, we came to a st
