Chapter Twenty-Eight

The Hidden Enemy

Jennifer finally left for the NYSC orientation camp in Jos.

Before she departed, she made Jack promise that he would come and visit her.

“You will come, won't you?” she asked, holding his hands.

Jack forced a smile.

“I promise.”

Jennifer searched his face for a moment before smiling.

“I'll be waiting for you.”

Jack watched her leave with mixed feelings.

He knew he had made a promise he might not keep.

The last thing he wanted was to provoke her father again

  • 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

  • The price of loving Jennifer.   Someone knows too much

    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

  • The price of loving Jennifer.   Unanswered questions.

    Chapter Forty twoUnanswered questions The question hung heavily in the lawyer's office.If not Emelda, then who?Moses sat forward in his chair, his eyes fixed on Jack's brother. The older man had arrived from the village with nothing more than a small travelling bag, yet the expression on his face showed that he had already understood the seriousness of the situation.“My brother has enemies,” he finally said. “But none of them has the kind of influence required to make this happen.”Moses nodded slowly.“That is exactly what I have been thinking.”Jack's lawyer leaned back in his chair and folded his arms.“Someone did not simply want Jack arrested. Whoever did this wanted him destroyed.”The room became silent.Moses remembered the box found in Jack's ceiling. Crystal meth. Forged passports. A pistol. Everything had been arranged to make Jack look like a dangerous criminal.But there was something that bothered him.The evidence was almost too perfect.“Whoever planted those thin

She had explained that Jack had been arrested and that she believed something was terribly wrong.But Douglas remained unwilling to get involved.His responses had become increasingly frustrating.“Jennifer, there is nothing I can do right now. The authorities are handling the matter.”“But Dad, Jack is innocent,” she had insisted.“You cannot know that.”“I know him.”“You are emotional. Let the investigation take its course.”That was the last conversation they had.Jennifer sat on the edge of her bed in the NYSC camp, staring at her phone. Her eyes were swollen from crying. Her heart was filled with fear, anger and helplessness.She could not remain in Jos any longer.If her father would not help her, she would find another way.She picked up her phone and booked the earliest available flight to Lagos.She packed hurriedly, barely paying attention to what sh
