…Vera peeped through the window and watched and Jojo was being drugged away. She smiled brightly.“Let me see how you get out of this, b*tch!” She said.She was happy. She was finally getting rid of her. If things went as planned, and Jojo never came back, she would have Finn to himself.She was going to be Mrs. Daniels. Every woman in the country would admire her.Just then, she saw two guards run over and check around. They seemed to have heard something.One of them picked up something from the ground. They looked at each other and we're about to go around looking.But Vera quickly got out of the house. “Is something wrong?” She asked.The guards looked at each other again. “We heard some struggle here, ma'am. And we found this phone too,” one of them said.Vera's expression changed a little. If the guards knew that Jojo had been taken, they would go looking for her. And it was still early. There was a possibility that they would find her.“Um, that's my phone. I was working out a
The old man stood up. “What? So he is back and he couldn't even contact me?” He asked.The guard looked on the floor. “Yes, sir,” he said.“Such an ungrateful bastard!” The old man cursed again. “He chose that girl instead of me. I'm his family!”“I'm sorry, sir,” the guard said.The old man looked at him with ridicule, buf he didn't say anything.He had to worry about Finn at that time. He knew that if he didn't take the right steps, he would lose everything.First, he was scared that Kelly might have told Finn everything by that time.The only reason he wasn't scared in the past was because he knew he had power. Finn wasn't stupid. He would never go after him if he had power.But the company was going down. Even if he had the majority of the shares, it would still be useless.“Should we get him, sir?” the guard asked when he saw the worried look on the old man's face.But Old Danike shook his head. “No, not him,” he said. “Go for what hurts him the most.“The guard seemed a little c
Jojo looked at Finn tensely. He had his lips pursed and wore that look that he usually wore when something was wrong.“Penny,” she called when she picked up the call.But Penny's crying and hoarse voice from the other side scared her.“Jojo, they killed her,” Penny said.JoJo's heart began beating so fast in fear. “Who? Who did they kill?“ She asked.Penny was heard sniffling on the other side. “My mom,” she said. Penny felt like her soul had just left her body. “What? Who killed her?“ She asked. “Penny, tell me. What happened?““I don't know,” Penny said, still crying. “She was just a woman who didn't want any trouble. She never fought with anyone. Why would they kill her?“Jojo's eyes were filled with tears too. Penny's mom was good. She treated her as her mom.She would visit them often, and she was a bad person at all.Thinking that she was no more, Jojo could hide her sadness.“She was the only family I knew. Now I'm all alone,” she said.Jojo swallowed hard. “Penny, I'm coming
Finn looked at Vera and sighed. “Are you asking that?” He asked.Hd felt annoyed that even up to that time, she was still pretending. All she did was hurt Nill.Jojo realized that things were getting out of hand. So she sighed. “It's late. Why don't we all sleep and talk tomorrow?” She asked.Nill immediately wrapped his arms around Jojo again. “Mommy, can I sleep with you and Daddy today?” He asked. “I'm scared.”Vera's eyes opened wide in shock. “Is he calling you Mommy?” She asked.Jojo looked away in embarrassment. It was not like she could do anything about it. Nill insisted on calling her that.Vera burst out laughing. “I see it now,” she nodded her head. “I understand why my son is scared of me. What have you been polluting her mind with?”“Vera!” Finn called angrily.But Vera shook her head. “No! You can't stop me from saying that, Finn! You are all on her side. What would you do if Nill began calling another man Dad?”Finn was silent for a second. Then he shrugged. “If he thi
Bradley's eyes dilated when he heard what Penny called the woman. He watched in fear, but just for a split second.Penny quickly checked up on her mom. She tried to feel her pulse, but there was none. Her body was very cold too.“Mom! Wake up!” She shouted, tears falling from her eyes. She was feeling terrified.Bradley knelt beside her and looked at the woman. He did not need to check on her. He knew with a glance that she was dead.“Help me, Brad. We have to get her to the hospital,” Penny said, crying. And she even tried to lift her up.Bley held her up. “Penny…” he called. He didn't know what he was supposed to tell her.“She could still be alive, right?” She asked, shivering.Bradley pulled Penny into his arms and hugged her tightly. He just held her, even when she struggled against him. She still thought that there was hope for her mom.He couldn't tell her that everything was okay because none was.“Is she dead?” Penny asked, tears clouding her eyes. She just couldn't believe i
Finn had just realized that Jojo was no longer in the tent. Scared that something could happen to her, especially at that time when he had just made a lot of enemies, he decided to look for her.He didn't expect to see her behind the washrooms. She was just staring into the distance.Was she okay?“Um…” Jojo pursed her lips. “I thought I heard some struggle over here. I came to take a look.”Finn's expression turned a little dark. “That could be dangerous. What if you got hurt in the process?” He asked.How could she go where she thought there was a fight? What if those people hurt her?Jojo sighed. She knew that all Finn wanted was reassurance that she was fine and that she understood she had done something wrong.“I was stupid. I just didn't think,” she said. But she also relaxed. She knew that Finn hadn't seen Jeff.“Yeah, don't come out here by yourself, okay?” He said. “If you have to come, tell me. I'll bring you.”Jojo nodded. “Okay.”…The weekend passed by quickly, and it was
