Chapter 42: Letting More Cats Out of The Bag

2025-06-03 03:12:18Tony Woods's POV
That was the second time Marcus has amazed me in the space of ten minutes. If he wasn't my friend, I would have doubted that he was a magician. I have never witnessed anyone exhibit such brilliance before. Marcus barely said a word to explain how he managed to call the cops unnoticed. All he did was smile at me and touch his chest, signaling me to stay calm and that he had everything under control. Some moments later, I heard the siren of a cab heading towards my company's premises. I needed no one to tell me that the policemen had arrived. “That was fast, Marcus. I never expected that. How did you manage to pull that up again,” I said to Marcus while still trying to fathom how the policemen showed up so quickly. It wasn't too long before I questioned Marcus about how he invited the cops without my consent. “Don't worry about that. It's not necessary for now. I don't want us to waste our time on irrelevance when we have other issues to be bothered with,” Marcus responded while pointing at Sean just to refer. I kept the questions to myself, knowing that Marcus would never satisfy my curiosity. Rather, I set my focus on a different thing. What matters to me is getting Sean locked up in prison until he confesses everything I need to know about my so-called wife, Angela, who has chosen to mess with my life. “I'll be back shortly. I need to go speak with the cops. I promise to return with the cop in a matter of seconds,” Marcus disclosed as he stepped down from the car. A few seconds after his departure, he returned. But this time, with a different motive. “Sorry, I forgot to say this before leaving. Please keep an eye on him. Ensure he doesn't escape. I bet he's thinking about that already. He's the only one who can provide us with the answers we need,” Marcus warned me. That was the last thing he said before leaving. What a coincidence! That was the same thing on my mind. It's safe to say that Marcus and I were on the same page. While seated next to Sean, I couldn't even look him in the eyes. Everything about him became irritating to me. I couldn't wait to see him spend the rest of his life in jail. “Sir, please. You have got to believe me. I am not the father of your son. Your wife and I dated in the past. We never had sex,” Sean continued to plead as though his life depended on it. Ignoring his tears as though they never mattered, I whined down the windscreen and glanced outside to examine the conversation between Marcus and the policemen. They were far away from me, which made it difficult for me to hear their voices. But somehow, I managed to read their lips and noticed the discussion was about Sean. Suddenly, they stopped talking and started approaching my car. I looked away and focused my gaze on Sean. As much as he claimed to be innocent, I still refused to take him for granted. There's a high possibility that he might escape should I take my eyes off him for a second. But with cuffs wrapped around his hands, his chances of fleeing will be very rare. Just then, Marcus and a police officer joined Sean and me inside the car. Sean's tension increased drastically the moment he saw the police officer. He went from plotting his escape to dodging the police officer. He tried his best to avoid eye contact with the police officer. Unfortunately for him, it didn't last too long. It was only a matter of time before he started noticing that. “Hey, mate. Can you please turn around? I want to see your face,” the officer requested politely. It took him a while to notice the snub from Sean as he was so engrossed in seeing more details from me “No, sir. I would rather not look at you. You won't understand,” Sean begged. At that point, he wished the ground would open and swallow him. It would have been better than the calamity that was about to befall him. “You are not making this easy for yourself, young man. If you truly want to come out of this mess, then you have got to comply with the law. Otherwise, I'm going to have to apply force, which won't be pleasant for you,” the officer warned Sean for the second time. The only difference was the tone used in addressing Sean. He was fed up with Sean trying to play smart when it was obvious that Sean wasn't going to get away with it. Despite the officer's use of force, it still did not affect Sean. The Sean that sat next to me suddenly became so confident and brave. I haven't witnessed him in such action. It got me second guessing herself if he was the same person I employed. Or perhaps, a different person was cloned inside his body. Upon realizing that Sean was still proving to be a hard nut to crack, the officer lost his cool. “I guess this is where I have got to be unfriendly,” Leaning forward, he forced Sean's head to look in his direction. It was difficult at first due to the gigantic distance between them. But in the end, he was successful. Sean gave up too soon as he got tired of hiding his face. The moment the officer caught a glimpse of Sean's face, his countenance changed. With a loud voice, he screamed, “Sean Carter?” His voice was so loud that it nearly damaged my eardrum. It was as though the officer saw a ghost. It now dawned on me why Sean was trying to avoid eye contact with the officer. “Wait a minute! You two know each other before?” Marcus and I popped the question immediately as though it were planned. Marcus and I looked confused. But the same thing can't be said about Sean and the officer. I was damn certain that something was wrong somewhere. From the look of things, Sean, and the officer might have a history together.

Tony Woods' POV “Did you just hear that? He fucking uttered something,” I called Marcus attention to the voice I heard. I needed to be certain that I wasn't imagining things that weren't real.In a delicate situation like that, the last thing I'll consent to is jokes or pranks.“Of course, I did, Tony. You weren't the only one who heard the voice. It is safe to say that your ears lead you in the right direction. Let's listen to what the son of a bitch has to say,”Marcus replied.I was relieved by his utterances. It confirmed that I wasn't losing my mind after all.Patrick stepped forward. He stood before everyone to ensure he was closer to Sean than any of us. “Start talking now! This is your chance to make it right again. Tell us what you know about Angela's whereabouts. And don't you dare miss out on any details,” Patrick ordered Sean.For a moment, I was impressed by his moves. That was the only sensible thing that has been done over the last couple of hours. If he had rec

Tony Woods' POV “Stop that man.Don't let him get an inch close to the interrogation room. He's going to do something crazy," Officer Patrick instructed his other officers.Instantly, they stood before me and formed a shield to block my exit.Soon, Patrick joined me as he panted heavily. I gave him the run of his life that he would never forget rushing. “What's the meaning of this madness, Patrick? Have you suddenly lost your manners? Is this how you treat a man of my age?Tell them to get the fuck out of my way before someone gets hurt," I demanded.I used my age as an advantage to get past the officers, but I failed.The officers in front of me were ruthless. It was as though Patrick had cast a spell on them, that made them obey his command without grudges.“This ain't got nothing to do with ageYou brought this upon yourself. If there's anyone that might end up hurt, it's you," Officer Patrick said to me. It was starting to sound like a threat to me. I couldn't handle the r

Chapter 55Tony Wood's POV“Wait a minute, did you just hear that?” I called Patrick's attention to the tiny voice I heard. “Heard what? What are you talking about? Are you starting to hear things that aren't real?” Patrick mocked me. He didn't think I was telling the truth. “Have you forgotten the reason we are here? Let's go inside quickly before she escapes,” he urged me, but I refused. I was resilient and focused on my instincts. “I might be old, but certainly not dumb or stupid. I knew what I heard. That was Kelly's voice,” I challenged Patrick.I didn't allow him to control my thoughts. I left the doorway and strolled around my mansion, trying to trace the voice I heard. “Papa, please come,”I heard the voice calling me for the second time. I traced the voice to the garage and saw Angela and Kelly seated inside the car. I tried to get closer to them, but she drove off. I didn't try to run after the car, knowing it would be pointless to do that. For the second consecut
Secrets and Second Chances Chapter 54: Angela On The Run
Tony Wood's POV“Where's Angela?Where's Kelly?” I popped the question without a direct lead. I was hoping that someone would sacrifice themselves to speak up.“Oh, shit. She fucking escaped. How did this happen? Where are the fucking nurses?” The doctor screamed. He slammed the wall to demonstrate his rage. He was about to leave when I held him back. “Where the heck are you going?”“What the heck is this? Let go of me,” he requested.“I want to summon all the nurses to know who was on duty,” he explained.I was ruthless!I refused to let him go, knowing that he was the reason for Angela's escape. If he hadn't hesitated when I called for her arrest, Angela would be sleeping behind bars already.“Oh, come on, Tony.You know I have nothing to do with this. I was only trying to protect the image of my hospital,” he claimed.That was the lamest excuse I've ever heard. The excuse made me even more angry. I wasn't conscious of my act anymore. And the next minute, I was already draggi
Secrets and Second Chances Chapter 53: Arrest Gone Wrong

The people you think you know.You come to realize that maybe you don't know them after all.And that shakes you.I usually have answers, but now, I'm the dumbest man alive.I'm used to having directions.

Why did you invite the police to my hospital?” The Doctor asked me in a faint tone. He was panting heavily after running to m

Tony Woods POV“Are you sure you are ready for this moment, Mr. Woods? I want you to take your time and reflect on it before coming up with a decision. What I'm about to disclose might sound partially devastating and heartbreaking to you. And I am sure you wouldn't want that for yourself. Remember your health status. I don't want to be the one to escalate your blood pressure,” The doctor retreated just when he was on the verge of disclosing my son's test results. It wasn't a question I found quite intriguing. But somehow, I was able to control my rage. “Really? Are we going to do this all day? Come on, Doctor. I am not interested in any of your jokes. Just hit the nail on the head. Doctor, if I weren't ready, I wouldn't be here. As we speak, I am involved in an ongoing police investigation,” I revealed.What Ignorance!If only he knew what I've been through in the last 48 hours. “Oh, shit.
