Janelle Later that day, At home …..6:00pm The doorbell rang loudly echoing throughout the house, I looked down at Tehilla who was sitting in between my legs on the floor as I assisted her with her assignment,“Dada,” she said looking up at me, I gently dropped her pencil on the floor, got up from the floor and headed towards the door.I pulled the door open and my heart unintentionally skipped a beat as soon as I saw who it was! Ma’am Becky.I cleared my throat immediately as I tried to adjust my dress, I pulled the door open wider for her and stepped away for her to come in.Her face held no expression, with her shoulders up high, she walked into the house with a confident stride.“Grandma!” Tehilla greeted as she stood up from where she was seated, ran towards her and wrapped her hands around her legs where her height stopped.I saw a look of disgust cross her face but it disappeared as soon as it came, she gently took her hands and pulled her away from her.“I can see you’re go
Janelle.He took out an handkerchief from his pocket and my head got calculating, what a sloppy method of trying to get me, the alley was very deserted and quiet, he placed the handkerchief over my nose, I held my breath deeply and struggled with him for some seconds, after some seconds, I let go of myself in his arms and stopped struggling with him as I slowly pushed myself to the floor, as soon as I saw that his grip on me had loosened, I grabbed his arms and flipped him over slamming his back on the floor.As soon as I did that i rushed for the handkerchief that had now fallen down on the floor, I placed it over his nose and pressed him to the floor tightly.Immediately I was sure that he had gone unconscious, I gently stood up from his side my breath heavy and just then i looked up and saw three other guys infront of me, I gently tried to stabilize my breathing as I stepped back slowly, it was a close and there wasn’t actually any way out except for where they stood.My gaze moved
Adil.“I need you to monitor your wife,”“She’s showing symptoms of depression,”“I need you to bring her to the hospital for an MRI, I really can’t confirm what I’m not sure of,”“Janelle will never come with me to the hospital,” “Then for now, just make sure she’s not stressed and let her use the drugs I gave until you’re able to convince her,”My conversation with the doctor could not stop running through my mind, and I couldn’t stop thinking about what would have happened if I hadn’t shown up there, I shuddered at the thought that she could have died.I just felt like she was taking too long already, Atleast if she wanted to take an angry walk she should have been back, I couldn’t stay back anymore and then I decided to go check for her.Even the doctor’s diagnosis I couldn’t really understand what he meant he spoke like she had one terminal illness and nothing I said to him made him tell me exactly what was going on.He just kept on asking me to bring her to the hospital for a
Janelle That morning …..“Are you fine?!” My team members asked rushing towards me immediately I walked into the office, a smile touched my lips, they didn’t stop walking they just followed me to my office.“You don’t have to worry guys, it was nothing serious!” I replied, they exhaled deeply with a sigh of relief and my smile even widened, Atleast some people were genuinely worried for me.“My husband have the guys who attacked me in jail, so I would want you and Serena to go speak with them,” I said and they nodded slowly in agreement, I gently turned to look at Bella,“Bella and I would speak to John Max’s assistant together,” I said and they all nodded.“But there a small tiny problem though,” Chad said and we all turned to look at him, he cleared his throat and continued speaking.“I’ve tried to get to speak with his assistant but it seems like she doesn’t want to speak to anyone, they have decided to not pursue the case,” I exhaled deeply nodded slowly as I tried to digest his
Janelle ….Evening that day ….I gently picked up my notepad and placed them in my bag as I prepared to leave, the door to my office slowly went open and I looked up to see Serena walk in.“You guys are back quite late,” I muttered as she walked towards my table,“We ran into a bit of traffic on our way back,” she replied and I nodded slowly.“Have Chad send the report of your outing today to my email, and I gave the report of our meeting today with Alyssa to Bella, she’ll give it to you, I need you to verify the veracity of that report,” I said and she nodded slowly, she was our intelligence office, so before we act on any lead it has to go through her.“Okay then,” she replied and with that she turned around and walked out of the office.I exhaled deeply, it was time to go home.****I hummed the lyrics of my favourite song -oceans as I drove down to the house, just as I turned onto our close, I saw I black jeep packed in front of our house, and just as I got closer, I saw a lady wa
Adil.“When I asked you to protect her, did you think I was talking about just her crappy ex!” I growled over the phone to one of my body guard, “I’m sorry boss, I’ll do my job better,” he replied, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head and kissed my teeth angrily,“You had better! Nothing! I repeat no harm must come to my family!” I growled.“I had one of them taken to your basement, do whatever it takes to make him speak up!” I instructed.“Copied!” He replied, I removed the phone from my ear and ended the call immediately, dropping the phone careless on the bed.I just knew Janelle was going to be stubborn about it, I knew very much that she wasn’t someone to be controlled, but recent circumstances has made her bend and do things she doesn’t want to do.I picked up my phone immediately and dialed Jerry’s number (my assistant), he picked on the first ring and I got talking.“I need you to book me an appointment with the head doctor at Caramel hospital on Monday, do whatever you ca
Janelle The next weekMonday Afternoon, 3:00am The door to my office opened and Bella walked in, she was carrying a small paper bag and her tablet and some other documents in her hands as she struggled with them walking into my office, I looked up at her confused as I stood up from my table and walked up to her to assist her with it, “What’s going on?!” I asked as I took all the documents she was holding and set it carefully on the table,“A delievry came in for you,” she replied as she stretched out the paper bag she was holding, delievry for me ?! I muttered surprised as I took the back from her and slowly pulled the edges apart to see what was inside and it was food, who did I know that would probably bring me food.“There’s a note inside,” I muttered as I dipped my hands inside and took out the note to read what is on it.“I’m sure you haven’t had lunch today, Eat up, Tehilla can be very energetic!” I read the note out loud and I just knew immediately who it was from. Weird!“A
Adil.Later that Evening, 6:00pm ….I slowly turned the keys in the lock and pushed the door opened, I gently closed the door behind me and walked in.“Really?! So what did you learn?!” I heard Janelle’s voice, I paused in my tracks and looked up to see Tehilla and Janelle seating side by side on the dinning chair, they were seated with their backs to the entrance and I guess they were so engrossed in their mini conversation they didn’t really notice that someone just walked into the dinning area.Tehilla gently dropped her spoon on her plates and looked up at her probably trying to think of an answer to Janelle’s question.“I would never eat things from strangers without permission from Dada and Mama,” she replied, Janelle beamed as she tapped her nose playfully with her index finger, and Tehilla chuckled at that, my heart swelled as I stared at the both of them, I felt a tingling feeling in the pit of my stomach, Janelle slowly packed up their plates and stood up from the dinning, s
