Javon“And what about the financial reports for the first quarter? Is that being evaluated?”A file was passed to me and I opened it and dropped it on top of several other files that had been passed to me. Today was another meeting between the Heads of Departments and my butt was already sore. It sounded like they all had had the same voices now since everyone had been talking for the past three hours. I was barely even listening.“Can we take a break after this? Half an hour and we’ll get back to it.”They hastily agreed and we wrapped that section up quickly. As I walked back to my office, I couldn't sit so I just stood by my window and faced outside. Gaia’s call had come in earlier today to set the time for our meeting. Hopefully, we’d be done with today’s meeting by the time I have to be there. Even if we weren’t done, I would have to leave. I couldn’t miss today for anything. The door opened and my secretary walked in.“Sir, there’s someone here to see you.”I don’t remember

GAIA“Tell me what you want me to do for you.”“My father was killed. Murdered in cold blood like an animal that didn’t matter. I need justice for him.”My mouth hung open for a couple of seconds because I was trying to think about what to say. I mean, this man knew who I was right?“Mr Miller, I sympathize with you for your loss but I have to tell you that I am a corporate lawyer and I’m sure you must have known that before you reached out to me so I don't think I can help you with this. Perhaps I can refer you to someone else.”He laughed.“I knew that, Miss Everly. I wanted the best to handle my father’s case, and I knew that only you could do that so I reached out to you. I’ll pay you any amount you want. All I need is for you to find my father’s murderer.”For the first time, I didn’t know what to say. As I stared at him, wondering whether he could hear what I was saying at all, the waiter came with the food. I’d lost my appetite though.“As I was saying, tell me if you can help

GAIAIt didn't take long for me to dash out of the office after hearing that. I mean, how could that happen? How could he escape? I brought out my phone on my way out and saw the amount of calls that I had missed and I didn't even know where to start from. “Gaia!” I turned to the sound of the voice. “Where are you going?” “I’m going to check whether this is true, Javon. If he's really escaped, then I'm in trouble.”“Just give me a moment.”He ran back inside his office and came back out.“Let’s go.”I tried calling back some of the numbers that called me earlier. “How could they let this happen? I mean, how could he escape from under their noses?”“From what Heath tells me, it happened last night and they just discovered this morning while on their rounds. They think he had help.”Of course, he had help. How would he be able to escape a military prison all by himself? That plan alone would take a lot of time and masterminds to accomplish. “How could they let this happen?”“It’s

GAIAJavon helped us move out of Bella's house while she sat on the sofa and sulked. Up until last night, she still found it stupid that I wanted to leave when there was a crazed criminal out there waiting to take any of us. I'd told her times without numbers that she had nothing to worry about but she didn't listen. When he heard we were moving out from Juan who couldn't seem to control his mouth around his father, he opted to help us move. And I couldn't say no. I could use all the held I could get. I made sure to tell the real estate guys that no one just knew that I was the one who was staying here. Evan was even the one who had done all the signing and all that. “You know what's funny?” She gave me a side eye. “To me? Nothing.”“You haven't even bothered to ask me where my new house is.”She froze for a moment and then perked up. “That’s true. Where is it?” her excitement died almost immediately “What does it matter? It's going to be far away.”I grabbed her hand. “Come w

JAVON “What did you say?”“Javon, you knew this would happen. It was only a matter of time before he found out and started making moves.”This guy is a bastard. “What exactly is his case? What does he want from her?”He sat down in the chair in front of me. “What do you think? He wants to cause trouble. He told her about his father and he wants her to investigate his death and you know what that means.”Of course, I knew what that meant. It meant trouble. “What’s she saying about this?”“Nothing but I can see that she's scared. She doesn't know I know but she doesn't sleep anymore. She stays up all night looking out of the window and at the security cameras. Juan hasn't gone to school in a week.”Damn, I knew something was wrong. I noticed the way she always spaced out and the way her mind was always far off but when I asked, she didn't give an answer. “He’s threatening to reveal the truth about you. She thinks he's talking about your marriage to her but we both know he's not. He
