Buying another one is too much money,” she said.Even though she was mad because there was another woman in Bradley's house, she didn't want to be so unreasonable. She did not see the need to change the house.Bradley burst out laughing seeing her like that. Then he sighed and held her hand in his. “I'm sorry about today. It won't happen again,” he said.…Finn stood on the balcony of his room facing the backyard. He held a cigarette and calmly smoked.His phone rang. Seeing that it was Bradley, he picked it up.“How is it?” He asked.Bradley sighed. “We've been able to handle most of it. We have also paid some people to say some positive things. After a while, it will all be gone,” he said.“Mmh,” Bradley nodded. “What about you? Are you back?”“Yes, boss. I'm back,” he said.Finn nodde
…Penny and Bradley reached the country late and headed straight to Bradley's home.But Bradley hadn't expected the surprise that awaited him.He had just taken out his keys to open the door when he realized that it wasn't locked. Then someone pulled open from inside.“Brad, you are back,” a lady said, opening her arms wide for him.She was a young woman, probably the same age as Brad. But it was what she was putting on the surprised Penny.She had a large white man shirt, with nothing underneath. As she raised her arms to Bradley, her thighs could be seen.She saw Penny and paused in her actions. She looked at Bradley, then back at Penny.Penny was surprised. She hadn't expected to meet a woman here. Was Bradley married? Why didn't he say anything?Bradley was beyond surprised. He looked at the girl standing before him and his mind went blank.“Merline? What are you doing here?” He asked in shock.Merline forcefully hugged him. “Auntie said you were coming back. So I decided to surpr
“What?” Penny asked with a pout. “Don't you want me to come with you?”Bradley quickly shook his head. “No! I want you to come with me. But yous till have school…”“Just over the weekend and a few other days then I'll come back,” Penny said cutely. She wanted to be there both for Bradley and her friend.Bradley sighed and pulled her into his arms. “How can I turn down such a beautiful soul?” He asked.Penny smiled happily. “So is that a yes?” She asked.Bradley nodded. “Get your bag ready,” he said, pinching her nose.…Finn, Jojo, and Nill left through the back gate once again. They had guards who facilitated everything.A few minutes later, they were standing in front of a camera, a smile plastered on Finn's and Nill's faces.Jojo looked a little lost. She wasn't sure what she was doing anymore. She looked at the red booklet on her hand and sighed.“So we are married?” She asked.Finn wrapped his arm around her. “You better get used to being Mrs. Daniels now.”He seemed super excite
Jojo looked at him with a sigh. “Finn… we…”Finn held her cheeks with both of his palms and looked into her eyes. “You don't want Nill to go back to Vera, right?” He asked.Jojo was a bit confused. “Yeah, I don't,” she said. “But what does it have to do with anything?”Finn sighed. “They won't let me keep him when I'm not capable of raising him. She could say that I'm always busy and I can't take good care of him,” he said with a shrug.“But… you are powerful. You could just…” she tried to speak. He always got everything he wanted, didn't he?But he creased his brows. “Do you think that's what I want to do? He is my son. I don't want to keep him if I'm not capable of raising him.”Jojo looked away in embarrassment. It was stupid for her to say that.Seeing this, Finn sighed. He seemed a bit disappointed. He turned to look at Nill and sighed.“I'm sorry, Buddie,” he said. “I've tried. I think you have to go back until I find another solution.”The expression on Nill's face turned sad a
Jojo shuddered. The expression on Finn's face was cold and scary. “I… it was the watch…”Finn squinted his eyes at her. “You recorded them with the watch? Do you know that this is illegal?” He asked.Jojo swallowed hard. “I… I just wanted to make sure that Nill was okay…”“So it's true? This is not fabricated?” he asked. He could already feel his blood boiling.Jojo slowly shook her head. “No, it's not,” she said. “Finn, I know I did the wrong thing by recording it. But this is the evidence you wanted. Nill is not okay living with his mom. He is suffering.”Finn slowly took the recording and listened to it. His expression turned colder and colder the more he listened.[Bang! No wonder nobody loves you. Your dad left you here with me. You are of no use.][Jojo? Let me hear you say that stupid name one more time. I cut off both your legs and arms.][Get out of my face! You make me sick. I wish you never talked.]Finn paused it and put it back on the table. “I don't want to listen anymor
Finn hadn't slept even a bit. Hearing this, he sat up straight. “Okay, let me check it,” he said.He opened the clip, and his eyes turned grave. It was Vera.“Miss, Furries, before we start, we would like you to answer this important question that everyone is worried about,” the interviewer said. “Have you found your son? And if you have, is he fine?”Vera had a sad look on her face. Someone could even think that she was just from crying. She sighed deeply and smiled, but tears fell from her eyes.“I don't know how to say it,” she said. “Nill was found. His dad picked him up. But I haven't had a chance to meet him afterward. You know how it is. I'm worried. The first thing I wanted was to pull him in my arms and tell him that everything was fine. But I have not had that chance yet…”The interviewer gave her some paper towels. She seemed shocked. “So you haven't met your son yet?” She asked.Vera nodded. She had a pitiful look on. “You know… he is with his dad. I wouldn't have to worry
Penny paused and sighed. “Ooh, I should have known it,” she said. “You are never a social media person.”Jojo felt even more confused. “What's wrong Penny? Is there something that I don't know about?” She asked.Penny knew that she couldn't keep hiding the truth from Jojo. So she told her. “Everyone is talking about you on social media,” she said. “But don't even look at it. They are all stupid. They don't know the kind of person you are.”“They are?” Jojo asked in a small voice. The reporters were everywhere at the airport. She had just almost forgotten about them.“Jojo, it doesn't matter what they think. You have us. We love you,” she said. She felt bad for her friend. Jojo had gone through a lot of things already. Why would people never leave her alone?Jojo's expression fell. She knew that the situation was bad if Penny talked like that.She nodded. “Thanks, Penny,” she said and hung up.Then she looked at Finn. Finn seemed a little on edge. He could already guess what the call w
Vera tensed up and was quiet for a while. She didn't know how much Nill had said.She planned to have Nill be taken back immediately after they were found. But things got a little complicated and he was taken by the cops.“What do you mean? I was just scared that our son could be in danger,” she said, her voice soft.Finn was silent for a while. He didn't know who was right between the two of them. But he was going to find out.“Okay,” he said. “Nill will stay for a few days.”“What?” Vera asked. “But… I'm worried about him. He is also supposed to go to school.”She was sure that Nill would be tempted to talk if he stayed away. She didn't want anyone to learn the truth.But Finn didn't listen to her. “He is a bit traumatized by everything. He needs some time to cool down.”Vera was silent again. Things were getting out of hand for her.She knew Finn. Once he made his decision, it was difficult to change it. So she had to do something.“Can I talk to him then?” She asked, faking sadnes
Finn was relieved only when he confirmed that she hadn't been hurt anywhere. He knew that officers at times could be rough.“Let's go home,” he said gently and helped her up. But his expression didn't say a lot.Jojo nodded. “Nill,” she said. “Have you seen him yet?”Finn nodded. “Yeah, he is in the car. He is fine. He was just worried about you.”Jojo sighed in relief when she heard that. She walked faster to the car. And when Nill saw her, he immediately jumped into her arms. “Jojo…” he called emotionally.Jojo hugged him back. “Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?” She asked.Nill shook his head. “No,” he said. “I was worried about you.”Finn stood at the side and observed them quietly. He had a complicated look on his face.“I'm tired,” Jojo said, getting into the car. “Let's go home first.”“Okay,” Finn said and got in too. He asked the chauffeur to drive.But they were quiet for so long. Jojo looked at Finn. “Don't you want to know what happened?” She asked.She didn't kno
