James ran to the other side and opened the door. He was happy that he had been able to convince Miguel but he knew what was going to happen next. “ how much are we talking about? " he asks Miguel. “Two million dollars sir” said James. “That's is a lot of money my dear. Tell me now,his did these men get your mother. You had business with them didn't you?“. Asked Miguel. Games were like this one were not new too him. He was the grand master of it he thought to himself. James feared that Miguel would change Hus mind but he knew too well the consequences of lying to someone like Miguel. He nodded his head in affirmation to what Miguel had said. “ well don't play me cause I won't be so kind as to give you a chance to save a relative. I will make all of you go down at once”said Miguel giving James a stern look with his bulging eyes.James sat anxiously on an arm chair in Miguel's office. He had been able to convince him to give him a chance but he was uncertain of what would await him now
James had spent hours on his way back rehearsing how he would lie to Jewel. He would look serious and would not allow his eyes give him away. Now he stood in front of Jewel speechless and fidgety. He thought he had it all planned out but he was so wrong. It could have been as a result of the consciousness he had that Jewel trusted him so much or his knowledge of how wrong it was to lie to a friend. It was not his wish to get involved in Miguel's messy games but he had no choice. He was going to tell her the truth and hope that she understood. Jewel would just have to see reasons with him. It was against her principles and moral ethics but he hoped that she would ignore these principles this one time. “Pardon me, you look exhausted please come in”said Jewel ushering James into her house. It looked better than the last time he had seen it. He remembered well when he had insisted on paying her a visit, she had not approved of it but after much persuasion, she allowed him to come over. She
“Any thing would be appreciated “came a reply from Joan. Jewel was willing to be as homely as possible to Joan provided she did not know that she had been the one who came in disguise to kill Aidan. She returned with a galss of juice complemented by some biscuits in a saucer. Please feel comfortable she said placing the tray on a side table close to Joan. “. You did not ask me who I was when you ushered me in. Do you know me by chance?“ Asked Joan. It set Jewel a little bit off guard but she soon regained her composure. “Well you don't look harmful to me. You seem to be a nice oerson.“ Said Jewel. Her compliment flattered Joan. It made her smile before she said.“well be careful. It was a good deed like this one that made me lose someone I cherished so much”. Jewel knew where the story was going to and it made her uneasy. She wanted to go away. To excuse herself from Joan was something she wanted to do but did not know how to. She would just have to sympathize with her if she chosed t
“I am so sorry,it won't happen again” jewel tried to apologize when Micah came into the room. She did not see the exact reason why she was apologizing but she felt that it was right to do so.“You did nothing wrong dear. It is fine” said Micah as he held her in an embrace. “Now where were we” he said grinning.“I should take you out today”“Where are we going to?““Where ever you wish to go to” he replied as he sniffed her neck.“I always have the urge to remark you when ever we are together and during intimacy. You smell sweet my darling” complemented Micah and it made Jewel to blush. “It has been a long day Micah, you should rest”. She said disentangling from him. It was too much for her. Every touch and every affection he showed her made sparks fly and made her feel butterflies in her stomach. Just as she was about leaving, Micah caught hold of her hands and brought her close to himself again.“where do you think you are going to? I am not done with you my princess”. He said caressi
“Jewel,are you OK" Mr Daniel asked Jewel. He looked sick but his faced showed concern.“I am fine sir. What is wrong with Mary”she asked. “The strange woman, where is the woman? ".inquired Mary with trembling hands. “ I don't know what she did to me,all I remember is she chanted something. I am so scared. I have never experienced something like this before”. She said without facing either of them. “ Jewel, you must tell me the truth now. Did the woman hurt you or did she say anything threatening to you”asked Mr Daniel. It was up to Jewel to end the issue or cause a progress in it. She was not sure if the wolf that carried Joan would spare her. Further more,there was really nothing they could do about it. Here in Malibu,she doubted if there were much wolves. Further investigation on what had transpired would blow her cover and it could affect other wolves who were hiding their identity.“ No sir,she ran away and I went after her but could not catch her "Jewel lied. “ she did not tak
She could not find any vehicle leading to the train station so she decided to walk some distance. It was a risk because her father or someone who knew her well might see her but she still chosed to walk. She had this feeling that she would come across someone she knew but she hoped that it would not be her father. It was getting late now and the last thing she wanted was to sleep in NYC. She finally got a cab and she waved her hands to indicate for the vehicle to stop. It did and she got in. There was a familiar face inside the cab. It took her time to remember who it was but when it hit her,it came as as a shock. He was the least person she had expected to see. There had been very little communication between them and after her mother died, she had not heard from him.“Henry "she called out. The young man did not recognise her at first but he soon did and gave her a warm smile.“ Jewel is it really you?,where have you been?““ it is a long story” she replied.“I heard about everything
Henry waited for Jana in anxiety. He had no idea what she wanted to tell him she had called using a cold tone to ask him to meet her later in the day and she had said nothing else. He had placed calls but she did not respond yo his calls neither did she reply to his text messages. It had made him very worried and restless.Jana walked up to him from behind”Henry” he turned and he saw an expression he had hoped not to see on her face. Jana looked sad and anxious. He feared that she had come to tell him that she would not go on with the proposal but what she said was far from what he had bargained for.“we need to talk”she said.“well that is why we are here. How are you doing my love?““I want to ask you to do something. It is bizarre but I still wish that you will agree”“What is it dear?. You know that I have your best interest at heart and will do all in my power to make sure that you are happy” he said edging close to her and taking her hands into his. “Its about our consummation
“Welcome dear,I thought you would not be able to come” said Jana extending her arms to hug Asher. He did not resist,he hugged her too. “How are you doing Jana” asked Asher“Well I am fine thank you” came a reply from Jana . “Oh… Jewel is on her way. She is with Linda "he said trying to stop her from staring at the entrance. It was obvious that she was anxious to see Jewel.““Thank you Asher” she said forcing a smile.“You are welcome. I am quite tasty. I hope its not too early to ask for a drink?“he said smiling. “ sure its fine. Please come with me”she said as she ushered him to a table. It had a variety of drinks on it.“please make your choice "she said pointing at the drinks. She would save the poison for later when Jewel was here. If she gave Asher biwzit would ruin the fun and as well stop Jewel from drinking at the picnic party. “wow!I don't know what to choose. You really put so much work into the party” he said being mesmerized by the many options that laid out on the table
