“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
Chapter22Jewel received a phone call from James. It had been a while since they conversed. The last time they had done so,they had talked at length about the new improvements at the bar, the incident with Joan, Mr Daniel's change of attitude towards her and all she could think of. James had smartly avoided any form of conversation that would lead to talking about himself and the work he did for Miguel. Jewel had asked about how he was faring and he had said that all was well and immediately changed the topic. He had been really scared of getting caught the first few weeks of working with Miguel but with time,he had become a master of the game. Miguel had taken delight in his work and had entrusted deeper and more critical businesses into his care. He had earned himself a place in Miguel's heart and now he did more than drug trading, Miguel now sent him on assassination tasks and he was beginning to enjoy the privileges he was exposed to as a result of doing the things that pleased hi
As soon as he ended the call,a message came in” I am back "it read and it was sent by no other person but Joan. It made James panic. How possible is this. How was she able to escape such a big wolf. Miguel won't spare me if he finds out about this. He thought as he began to breath heavily. He remembered Jewel. She was in danger. “ oh my goodness!“. He needed to do something but he had no idea of what to do. He needed to save Jewel and himself. He knew that Joan would come for Miguel but it was the least of his problem.He was uncertain of which move to take next. Whatever it was,he had to first be in contact with Joan. Probably, they could reach an agreement or something like that. The thought that Jewel was in danger still worried him but he had been missing out on something… what business did Jewel have with Joan. First the suggestion of getting to work for Miguel and now a dangerous woman was after her life. Who in the world was truly his friend!. Jewel did not disclose much about
Joan kept her eyes on the road expecting to see the man she had met at the baseball match the previous week. It was absurd to think that she would just see him standing at a walk way or some junction but her anxiety took absolute control of her. She wanted to see him but she had not thought of what to tell him. He would tease her for going after him definitely. It was on a weekend and she had spent so much time at work. She had just finished college and well,she got a job as a cashier in a grocery store. There had been much sales that evening and her working time had been extended. It did not bother her since she did not look forward to seeing anyone after work hours plus,it was extra cash she thought to her self. At a bus stop she could swear that her eyes were not deceiving her. She saw him again. He was holding a newspaper and clunched a small bad under his arm. He looked ridiculous. More like some elderly man far different from the attitude he gave her the last time they had talked
It was a cool restaurant, classy too. Aidan sat across Joan and for sometime,they did not speak to each other. She looked very pretty in the Royal blue Swede dress she had worn. Her make up was on point. It seemed she really prepared for the dinner.“Uhmmm. I bet you spent a fortune preparing for this night”he said with a grin. He could not just let the opportunity to annoy her go like that. He expected her to frown,crease her forehead or something similar but she did nothing of that sort. She picked up the menu and read through for a while then placing it down, she said“ I thought we were here to have dinner "He loved her composure this evening and it made him pick more interest in her.“Well what would you like to order”“Is that a question you ask your cashiers when you go out with them. Honestly you are not so of a gentle man if I must say.“said Joan now feeling more confident in her self. She would show him who the boss was she thought to her self.“Waiter” he called and soon a
