Chapter 15: Darlene is pardoned
DARLENE
Jeff has been visiting me since the first time he showed up and to be sincere, I'm in love all over again.
He treats me as he used to treat me before, without minding the fact that I'm in prison. Anytime he visits and leaves, a part of me leaves with him.
I'm no longer at home here when I know he's out there waiting for me.
He has kept me on toes on whatever is happening out there, including George's moves.
He has plans..
That's what he keeps on telling me. I hate George and Kate with all I hold dear. They've brought my once resourceful life to a standstill.
If not for them, I'd be out there making money and making it in life, probably happily married to my prince charming... Jeff.
I've been swearing in my heart that I'll make them pay. As for Kate, I'll fish her out from the hell hole she's hiding and make her suffer...suffer and suffer more than I've suffered!

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*1½years ago*“Hello bro...”George calls me one Sunday morning.I'm already in the office putting some things in place. I don't usually work on Sundays but today I had to.“Hello.”I reply with disinterest..I know what he'll say next and I just hope he says it and gets done with it.Money has been his greetings, vocabulary, speech and everything since he came back from abroad.“I need a favour.”Aggggrrr! Not again!I whisper within myself, banging my palm on the mahogany table.“What is it now?”I ask with irritation.“Can we meet in town in the next thirty minutes? It's urgent.”“George, I'm not lending you any money today! Not again!”I blurt out.“

JEFFI'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?

JEFFBaby.”Darlene calls me two days after her release.. We've been indoors all through out, making crazy love and reminding ourselves of the good past days.I still love her... Infact, more than I used to.She's the only woman I've ever genuinely loved.Having been screened of all possible infections, we're back to being normal couple that we used to be over a year ago.She's getting used to my new facial appearance though I always get rid of the thin mask whenever we're together indoors.“Yes honey.”I reply excitedly as I type away on my laptop.“What did you say we'll do with your brother. He has really messed up our lives!”“Don't worry about that dear. I'm working on something. Come to think of it, I don't want you to get involved.”I assure her.“No babe! I would die only to see George begg

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

DARLENE“So, what are your plans?” Sandra asks me as we prepare breakfast.“I'll gist you with time but first, I'd want to see if they'll work.”I reply.I had a wide discussion last night with Jeff and he's ready to support me in everything.Luckily, I don't have to show up personally in Kate's compound. Jasper has just the perfect plan.“Just be careful my dear. I don't want you to go back to that hell hole. You deserve to be happy beside Jeff. Don't let this revenge thing take a toll on you.” Sandra says and for sure, she has a point.I know the risk involved but thank God after discussing with Jeff, I won't be directly involved.“Thanks for being concerned dear. I'll be careful. And you? How far on your plans? You told me you've started working on something.”I ask.Sandra h

SANDRATo say I'm surprised by Darlene's plans will be an understatement. I'm impressed... completely out of words.That was a great thought there! And to imagine Jasper is involved!There surely will be trouble in paradise. They have to suffer for what they did to poor Darlene. Framing her and sending her to prison after eloping together! They deserve more torture. Speak of karma!***It's on a Monday morning and I'm armed to the teeth as I board a cab to work. Today is Lucy's turn to prepare tea and serve the boss. Unfortunately, Jayson won't be around because I overheard him telling the boss that he'll be traveling to God knows where.

SANDRA“How did it go?”Jasper asks immediately we hit the road.“Great!” I exclaim. I feel like I'm a conquerer. “I had him where I needed him. Carmela will bring the video to us.”I reply excitedly.“In that case, we need to wait for her call.” he says excitedly. “Kate needs to see the video so that she may sign the divorce papers without thinking twice.” he adds, his face a mixture of both delight and victory.“Yeah, sure.” I nod “I promised to call her but I need to dispose these phones and get myself a new one and a sim card to avoid being traced.” I conclude thoughtfully.“It's okay.” He says. “Ben, you need to make a stop at the nearest motel. We need to have some drinks as we wait for someone.”He adds.“Okay sir
