All Chapters of Echoes Of Redemption : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

(Jonathan's POV)I couldn't shake off the anger that pulsed through me as I watched Matthew's hand firmly placed on Claire's waist, pulling her in for a kiss. It took every ounce of self-control to keep myself composed."Calm down, dude," Simon leaned close and whispered in my ear, sensing my distress."Why don't we go say hello? It'll be weird if we don't," I suggested, turning to both Simon and Tracy.Tracy had joined us for the entertainment gathering, and I thought it would be nice to bring her along. Claire would be pleased to see her. Tracy had been a loyal worker for Claire before joining STAR ENT.I approached them, my eyes locked on Claire. It had been a week since I moved out of Claire's apartment. As much as staying at the hotel was comfortable, I suddenly missed seeing her messy hair every morning, and her annoyed expression when I left the sink dirty.I longed for the scent of her that seemed to fill the whole house. The hotel felt lonely without her. If it weren't for th

(Jonathan's POV)Matthew's eyes flicker, he stares at the files in front of him, and his eyes widen."W-Where did you get this, you invaded my privacy, does Claire know about this" he questioned."You want her to find out about the truth, Are you that sure, do you think she can handle it." I leaned back, watching his expression go from scared to confused."Why are you doing this, what do you want" He asked.I laughed, trying to hide my satisfaction. "Your wife ruined me, she destroyed everything I worked hard for, and now you want to ruin Claire."He said nothing not expecting my answer, his fist clutched tight as he tried to endure the humiliation."We want to keep this as quiet as it is, no problem, but here are my conditions, stay away from Claire and put this bar under her name, how dare you use her apartment as collateral, you greedy and wicked bastard," I said in anger."Am not scared of you, how dare you make unreasonable terms and conditions, you should be careful about how yo

(Jonathan's POV)"Who has been arrested" I questioned again, trying to understand Calvin's words at the other end of the line."The Trainee has been arrested" He repeated, this was more than I expected, I thought her arrest might take time since she went into hiding."How did you guys catch her" I asked curious."Well, Miss Jessy was caught with hard drugs and a knife stained with blood on her way to the train station" Calvin explained."It wasn't too long before the cops suspected something, she also had a gun and shot two people who are currently in the hospital" he continued.I was shocked by the news. Jessy had gone completely off the rails. I couldn't believe she had resorted to such dangerous and criminal behavior. I knew she was desperate, but this was beyond anything I could have imagined.I was grateful she was out of STAR ENT. Before such an incident, this could have badly ruined My company's image.I have to call Tracy and ask her to deny all association with Jessy if the r

(10 years ago)(Tracy’s Pov)“Where is the document I asked for Tracy?” Claire's voice called out from her office. But that wasn't what stole my attention, He did, there he stood, all dressed in that perfectly tailored suit.That brown hair and green eyes were so alluring. I felt numb, Grabbing hold of the printer machine for support. “By the heavens, Is that a Greek god, maybe the brother of Eros, God of love?” A co-worker of mine said as she stood beside Me.I turned to stare at her, she couldn't be more wrong. How can a man be so perfect and alluring at the same time?Curious to know who he was and why he was there, I walked towards where he stood talking to Mr. Franklin the manager.“Mr Franklin” I called out.Mr. Franklin turned to face me, “yes can I help you Tracy” he asked in an irritated tone, he was never a happy person.I smiled, taking in his rudeness, “I was thinking if there might be anything I can help you with” I chipped in.He raised a brow, confused. “Aren't you bu

(Claire’s Pov)If running into Jonathan's past was going to be a thing then it best I stay clear from anything that would lead to such a scene.“You know me” I finally asked herLaura smiled, her eyes mischievous, “why wouldn't I, the last time I met Jonathan he wouldn't stop talking about you” she trailed off.She met Jonathan, this is getting interesting, what other lies has Jonathan been hiding from me?So much for getting to trust one another my foot. “Well since you know our history, it was nice meeting you,” I told her Turning my attention back to my car.“At first I was pissed when he got married, I thought I was going to be the one,” She said.I paused again, what the hell was she saying, why wouldn't she just quit talking?“Jonathan and I have been college sweetheart, I had to leave to chase my dream, and he promised to wait and when I got back.., well you know the story from there” I turned to look her in the eye, “I know nothing dear, you should finish your story next time
