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
The price of loving Jennifer. Jennifer in a ghastly accident.
Chapter Forty OneJennifer had tried everything.She had called her father repeatedly. She had pleaded with him to intervene. 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
The price of loving Jennifer. The planted boxes
Chapter FortyThe planted boxes At almost the exact moment Jack was being taken away from his workshop, another team of law enforcement officers arrived at his apartment.They did not waste time knocking repeatedly.The door was forced open, and several officers rushed inside with their weapons drawn.“Search every room,” the team leader ordered. “Check everything. Leave nothing untouched.”The apartment was turned upside down.Cupboards were opened. Drawers were emptied. Clothes were thrown onto the floor. The mattress was lifted from the bed. Even the bathroom was searched thoroughly.For nearly an hour, the officers found nothing.There were no drugs.No weapons.No suspicious documents.Nothing that could connect Jack to the criminal activities they were investigating.One of the officers looked frustrated.“Nothing here,” he said.The team leader glanced around the apartment.“Search again.”They searched again.Still nothing.Then one of the officers noticed the ceiling.“Sir,
The price of loving Jennifer. Jack, in chains
Chapter Thirty NineJack was confused and frightened.The officers surrounding him showed no interest in explaining why they had stormed into the workshop and taken him away. Their faces were stern, their movements calculated, and the weapons hanging from their bodies made it clear that they were not ordinary policemen.Jack kept looking from one officer to another as they pushed him toward the waiting vehicle.“What have I done?” he demanded. “Where are you taking me?”Nobody answered.“Officer, at least tell me what this is about.”One of the men turned sharply toward him.“Keep quiet.”Jack stared at him.“I have a right to know why I am being arrested.”“You will know when you get there. Until then, keep your mouth shut.”Jack was about to respond when another officer grabbed his arm and pushed him into the vehicle.The door slammed shut.For the first time, Jack felt genuinely afraid.He had faced dangerous men before. He had been threatened, beaten, and betrayed. He had even rec
The price of loving Jennifer. The weird call.
Chapter Thirty eightThe phone began to buzz repeatedly on the bedside table.Jack stirred beneath the sheets, still half asleep. The persistent vibration continued until he finally reached for the phone and answered the call without checking the screen.For several seconds, there was nothing but deliberate breathing from the other end.Jack opened his eyes fully.He checked the number.Unknown.He frowned and pressed the phone closer to his ear.“Speak or I cut the call, buffoon,” he whispered.The breathing stopped.Then a low voice spoke.“Run! While you still have the time.”Jack sat upright.“What did you say?”The caller had already disconnected.Jack stared at the screen.His heart began beating faster.He immediately remembered the voice.There was something about it that felt familiar, something buried deep in his memory. He had heard that voice before, although he could not immediately place where.Then the memory struck him.Degree 45.The bar.The mysterious voice that had
