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
Aidan was in her living room when she walked in. She was not surprised, he had the keys to her apartment and sometimes he did come in this manner. “You came” she was not sure if what she said came out right. She was not sure if she wanted to continue with the relationship. Not that she no longer loved him but she feared that he was too dangerous for her. All her life,she had hoped that she never came across any of them and now she was even in a relationship with one. She had not been fair on her part to hide her identity from her but he had done the same thing too. She avoided his gaze and walked away without waiting for a response from him. He followed her. “Joan cut me some slack,I defended you didn't I?I told them that I want to marry you”. He said.“ and when you are not there,what will they do to me”“They will protect you”“They don't seem to me as people who would do that”“Its in their nature to command fear*“ I…”“Enough” he interrupted "you decide, are you going to marry
Chapter 23 “ there is still no sign of him. That son of bitch” yelled Miguel from across the table. He had bouncers answering to his questions. James had been gone for almost a week and it had been impossible to connect to him.“ I entrusted that boy with so much of my babies. What is he going to do. Oh if I get that boy,I willake him pay dearly”he said in rage. “Go out and keep looking for him. Search every possible place you think he could be. Find him and bring him to me. Surely I won't spare him for his carelessness”. He gave the final order before the bouncers left. Miguel had returned to Cuba and James was no where to be found. He felt that James had ran away since he did not need his help anymore and it hurt his pride. He was still panting in rage when a call came in. He was hesitant to pick the call but after it rang a second time,he was prompted to pick.“ well hello Miguel”“You” his eyes widened in disbelief. He recognized the voice even in his sleep. “You lack call ethics
“How long have you been in this town?“ Asked Jewel as Lucia ushered her into her house.“Been around for a while”“Wow,I guess it didn't take you so much effort to set up your house” said Jewel as she fed her eyes with the beauty and comfort of Lucia's living room.“I am not you” replied Lucia with a grin. Jewel understood what she was impying and chose to let it slide. Lucia was actually saying the truth. She had done so much to get to the level she was in now. All she wanted was a safe and comfortable environment for her child. Her belly had grown over the months and she was already six months gone. Luckily for her,she had stopped working at the bar. She had a new job that paid almost what she received from the bar.“What should I offer you?“ Asked Lucia.“Anything would do” replied Jewel with a smile.“Make your self at home” said Lucia before living the room. J
Jewel eyes opened a little to let in light. They closed up immediately. it seemed as though she had been unconscious for a long time. "where am i?" she asked not directing her question to any one. There was no one in the room and the room looked unfamiliar. one thing was clear to her, it probably belonged to a soceror. The room had so many strange looking objects and Jewel guessed that the room belonged to Mr Daniel. He was not in the room and she wondered where he was now. It still seemed unreal to her. it was still hard to believe that the melancholeric Mr Daniel was also a mystic being. He had been extremely careful to not get detected. she wondered now why he had taken so much risk for her. All thesame, he had saved her and she owed him a big appreciation."Jewel are you alright" said Lucia as she rushed into the room."i am fine" she said trying to fake a smile. she knew that she was not fooling Lucia. she had not been the one who went into combact with Joan but the whole sceneri
Jewel felt very weak. She could sense that a part of her was leaving her body. She could not make out the words Lucia and Ramiel spoke and then when she tried,she found out that they were chanting spells. This was her chance to end Joan. She would do it when Joan had not been unsuspecting of her. The more the chants were uttered the weaker she became till she completely lost consciousness of what was happening around her. Boom! She was at Aidan's house again. "It worked!" She thought to her self. It felt so exciting. She was sitting on the bed again. Thesame bed that she had slept on when Joan welcomed her into her home. She knew how important it was to carry out this mission perfectly but she also felt bad again for what she was about to do. The children ran into her room. They were captains just the way they had been when they entered the room. She watched them play quitely and when they noticed her and ran away,she was not surprised. When Joan came to apologize on the child
