  • The price of loving Jennifer.   Tracking the blackmailer.

    Chapter Forty sevenTracking the blackmailer After Jack’s arraignment before the court, his lawyer met with Moses and Jack’s brother in a private office. The lawyer looked deeply concerned. The charges against Jack were serious, and the evidence presented so far appeared overwhelming.“There has to be something we can use in his defence,” the lawyer said. “I need anything that can create reasonable doubt. Anything that can establish that Jack was framed, or that the evidence against him was deliberately planted.”Moses and Jack’s brother exchanged a worried glance.“We have been asking ourselves the same question,” Moses replied.The three men spent several minutes going through everything they knew. They discussed the robbery at Jack’s workshop, the disappearance of money from his account, the drugs allegedly discovered in his apartment, and the other evidence that had suddenly appeared against him.Then Moses remembered something.“The vigilantes,” he said.Jack’s brother looked at

  • The price of loving Jennifer.   Jennifer is in critical condition.

    Chapter 46The quiet inside the intensive care unit was suddenly shattered by the sharp beeping of the monitoring machine beside Jennifer's bed.The sound came repeatedly, each beep warning the doctors that something had changed.Nurses rushed toward the bed while one of the doctors examined the monitors. Another doctor checked Jennifer's pupils while a nurse adjusted the oxygen supply and checked the intravenous lines connected to her body."Her readings are changing," one of the nurses said."Get the neurologist," the doctor ordered.Within minutes, several doctors gathered around Jennifer. Her body remained motionless beneath the hospital sheets, but the machines showed that something was happening inside her.Victoria stood outside the glass partition, watching anxiously."What's happening to my daughter?" she asked.The doctor stepped out to speak with her."We have detected some changes in her condition," he explained carefully. "The scan has shown that Jennifer has developed a

  • The price of loving Jennifer.   who framed Jack.

    Chapter Forty fiveWho framed Jack?Moses and Jack's brother sat across from each other in the quiet sitting room, surrounded by files, documents, photographs and several sheets of paper covered with handwritten notes.Neither man spoke for several minutes.They had already gone through the evidence several times, but every time they examined it again, another question seemed to emerge.Moses leaned forward and placed his elbows on his knees."We need to start from the beginning," he said. "If someone really planned all of this, then there must be a point where the plan began."Jack's brother nodded."The robbery at Jack's workshop.""Exactly."Moses picked up a file containing the preliminary report."That robbery still bothers me. It was too convenient.""Because of the CCTV cameras?""Not only the cameras."Moses opened the file."Every CCTV camera covering the immediate area stopped working around the same period. That alone is suspicious. But then we discovered that none of the v

  • The price of loving Jennifer.   The blackmail is about to begin.

    Chapter 44The blackmail is about to begin.The mysterious phone call left Julian deeply unsettled.He remained in the hospital corridor for several minutes after the caller disconnected, staring at the screen of his phone as though the number might suddenly reveal the identity of the person behind it.Then he walked away.Raymond followed closely behind.They entered a quiet lounge in another section of the hospital. Julian closed the door behind them and dropped into a chair."How could anyone know?" he asked.Raymond remained standing."That is the question we need to answer."Julian looked at him."The caller knew about Jack. He knew what happened to him. And he specifically said I was responsible.""He could be bluffing," Raymond replied."Maybe. But what if he isn't?"Raymond said nothing.Julian leaned forward."Think about it, Ray. Nobody was supposed to know what happened. Nobody."Raymond finally sat opposite him."We need to consider everyone who could have had access to in

    Chapter forty three Someone knows too much .Julian had just finished his usual evening of pleasure.Three girls had spent the last few hours in his mansion, laughing, drinking, and entertaining him. Now that they were leaving, Julian barely looked at them. He simply instructed his driver to take them wherever they wanted to go.When the car disappeared through the gates, Julian walked toward the balcony.The evening breeze brushed against his face as he settled into a chair. Raymond stood nearby, as silent and watchful as always.Julian poured himself a drink.For several moments, neither man spoke.Then Julian smiled."At least Jack is finally where he belongs."Raymond glanced at him."You mean prison?""Exactly." Julian took a slow sip. "After everything that man has done, I was beginning to think he was untouchable."Raymond said nothing.Julian studied him."You know something, Ray?""What?""You are a dangerous man."A faint smile appeared on Raymond's face.Julian leaned back
