Janelle.“My Boss, Sir Adil Carter!” I felt breath catch in my throat for some seconds immediately he said that, his boss Adil Carter ?! How?!I scoffed lightly as I moved closer to him and grabbed him by his shirt immediately, “Do you think this is a joke! Does this look funny to you!” I snorted staring deep down his eyes, he just stood there without any reaction like my grip on him wasn’t affecting him in any way, and his smug behaviour pissed me off further.“Think about it, what reason do I have to lie, ever since I killed him, I haven’t been able to sleep,”“I killed a whole human, I have to turn myself in,” he muttered calmly, I let go of his shirt and stepped back, “I have evidences that I worked with him” he muttered as he stepped back and took out a flash drive from his pocket and stretched it out to me, I slowly looked down at the drive and back up at him, “It’s just a few clips of spies he caught, and I had the opportunity to capture on camera,” he added“Why should I
“Janelle are you okay?!” Bella asked her brows furrowing in confusion as she stared at me, I cleared my throat noisily and forced a smile at her,“I’m okay actually, I’m just trying to take things slowly and read between every line,” I muttered in reply, she scoffed playfully as she pushed her chair backwards and stood up,“Takes things slowly? Didn’t you say we should get this done with as soon as possible? There’s no time to take things slowly Janelle,” She muttered calmly, I chuckled nervously as I raised my hands with a shrug,“I know right, I’m just trying to make sure we don’t loose any important detail along the line,” I said and she nodded slowly.“No problem, I’ll look into it, and you’ll do the cross checking slowly,” she said and I nodded with a small smile.“So you’re getting off work early today huh,” she said with a teasing smile, I forced a smile in return as I nodded slowly,“I still have a life outside of this case,” I said and she smiled at me,“Absolutely, Absolute
Adil. 4:00pm , Almost Time of the Anniversary.I pushed the back door of corporation open and stepped outside, a gush of fresh air hit my face as I stepped out, Guests have started to arrive through the front door so I couldn’t go through there, and I haven’t seen Janelle yet, “Grandma!” I heard a tiny voice yell excitedly and I slowly turned to the left to see Mrs Adolf , she was one of our VIP guest for todays event and part of the founding members, although as time went on she wasn’t among the board members anymore but her daughter still was, she wasn’t living in ocean depth anymore, so her daughter probably came with her granddaughter to see her.“Ohh Hailey dear,” she muttered her excitement evident also as she made her way towards her, gathered her in her hands and lifted her into her arms tightly, this energy wasn’t one to be forced, the love was very obvious and sincere, it was quite painful that Tehilla would be getting none of this, neither from her mother’s side or fathe
AdilAt the Anniversary and Launching Event I exhaled deeply as my grip on Janelle’s hand tightened, even if we don’t work together, I insisted that we make the entrance together and she seats beside me on the VIP space, I looked around the hall, the event decorators actually out did themselves, it gave exactly what I wanted it to give, simple but classy.Red carpet had started earlier and now everyone had settled into the hall on their seats for the main event to begin, I turned to look at Becky where she sat, her eyes were on the people I invited as VIP and her face was held in a small scowl, she was obviously not satisfied with my choice of event but at the end of the day, it was my event to plan and there was nothing she could do about it.I gently led Janelle to the table where she would seat and made her take her seat, waves of Awws crossed the hall as i did that, I simply smiled as I made my way towards the podium to address everyone."Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed partners,
Adil.The car slowly came to an halt and I looked up at the signboard on the road where she stopped, “Welcome to City Falls” it read, my eyes slowly went wide and I turned to look at her,“How did you know this place?!” I asked my voice barely above a whisper, she slowly turned off the ignition, and turned to look at me, “I don’t know, it just felt really familiar, and I found myself here,” she muttered in reply, I slowly reached out to her and took her hands in mine,“Tell me, what’s wrong,” I muttered, she slowly looked up at me and took out her phone, she typed a few things and stretched it out to me, I swallowed hard as I watched the video playing on her phone, her phone began to ring, it was Bella, she took it from me answered it and placed it on speak out, “Watsup Janelle, where are you?!” Bella said, “Where else?! My husband just disappeared like that, I’m looking for him ofcourse!”“But Janelle, is Adil really capable of doing something like that,” she asked, she exhaled de
Janelle.I drove into the driveway and turned the ignition off, I turned to Tehilla where she lay in the back seat already fast asleep, my heart broke for her, she grew up without a mother and now she is going to be away from a father for quite sometime, with her father’s face pasted around as wanted, I’m just really thankful that quite Adil busy schedule he was able to make quality time for her, my phone began to ring in my bag, I gently picked up my bag in the chair next to me, took out my phone, it was a call from Diane, I swiped on it and answered the call.“Hi, any progress?!” She asked, I shook my head as if she could see me and slowly sat up in my seat, “I didn’t find him, one minute he was at the podium, the next minute he wasn’t , I don’t know what to do Diane,” I muttered intentionally allowing my voice to appear broken, “This is more than a speculation Janelle, the evidences tendered are too much, I want to hand over the case to another team,” she said, my heartbeat shot
Becky.That same night 12:30am Midnight.I sat on the couch in the living room, my legs occasionally tapping the floor as I waited for grandfather to come in, the door went open and Enzo walked in instead.I got up to my feet immediately and walked towards him, immediately he got to my front he slowly tucked his hands into his pocket and looked up at me.“W-what did you do Enzo?!” I asked my voice panicking lightly as I stared at him, his lips stretched into a small smile, he blinked slowly and stepped closer to me.“Why do you seem scared mother?!” He asked instead, I scoffed lightly, softly throwing my head to the side before turning back to look at him.“Don’t play with me Enzo, we both know Adil is not capable of those allegations, what did you do!” I gritted trying my best to not yell, he chuckled and stepped away from me as he retrieved his hands from his pocket and folded it across his chest, he gently turned away from me and walked towards the chair, I spun around and turned t
Janelle.Next day 8:30 am.“Chad, have you been able to hack into his phone?!” I asked walking into their office, they all paused and turned to face me, I quickly looked around the office but Bella wasn’t there, I sighed slightly and turned back to Chad, he shook his head slowly as he moved his chair backwards and stood up, he slowly walked towards me with his tablet in his hands,“I’m still on it, there’s sort of a security system around his business network, it’s difficult to get into that,” he exhaled and I sighed deeply, I gently raised my hands to my waist and looked up at him,“So there’s nothing we can do?!” I asked and he shook his head.“It’s actually getting easier, since he’s dead, there’s really nobody trying to stop the hack, so I’m working on hacking into every company files and important details, it might take a few more days though,” he said and I nodded slowly,“So long as there’s a solution, I don’t mind,” I said to him, he nodded firmly and returned to his seat.I
