The price of loving Jennifer. The information that will seize Jack's freedom
Chapter Thirty FiveThe courtroom was unusually quiet.The prosecutor, and the judge were surprised that John Langer who had been behind bars for offence bordering on drugs related crimes, suddenly decided to make an appeal. There was a brief silence. Then..... John Langer's attorney stood before the judge with a different proposal.“Your Lordship, I am not here to ask this court to ignore my client's alleged crimes,” the lawyer began. “I am here to place before the court information that could assist law enforcement in dismantling a much larger criminal network.”The prosecutor leaned back in his chair.“Are you asking for a reduced sentence?”“I am asking for consideration of a cooperation agreement.”The prosecutor gave a faint smile.“Your client has been accused of running a major drug distribution network. Now that he is facing life behind bars, he suddenly wants to become a government witness?”The lawyer remained calm.“My client understands the seriousness of his situation.
The price of loving Jennifer. Jack is not an option
Chapter Thirty FourMr Douglas Oko returned home in an unusually cheerful mood.The contract signing with the railway corporation had gone exactly as he had hoped. It was another major achievement for his company, another deal that would strengthen his position in the business world.As he stepped into the living room, Victoria immediately noticed the smile on his face.“You look happy,” she said.“I am happy,” Douglas replied, loosening his tie. “Very happy.”Victoria smiled and walked toward him.“So, the railway contract went well?”“Better than well.”He poured himself a glass of wine before settling into the sofa beside her. Victoria poured herself another glass, and for several minutes they simply enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere.Then Victoria raised her glass.“To new beginnings.”Douglas smiled and touched his glass against hers.“To new beginnings.”They drank.For once, there was no argument.No scandal.No angry phone calls.No reporters waiting outside their gates.The sto
The price of loving Jennifer. Jack's birthday
Chapter Thirty ThreeJack was awakened by the sound of his ringing phone.Still half asleep, he reached for it and answered without checking the caller.“Hello?”Instead of a greeting, he heard Jennifer singing.“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…”Jack smiled as he sat up in bed.Jennifer continued with exaggerated enthusiasm.“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!”Then came the familiar question from the birthday song.“How old are you now? How old are you now?”Jack immediately joined her in a ridiculous singsong voice.“As old as my mate. As old as my mate. As old as my mate…”Jennifer burst into laughter.Jack laughed too.For a few seconds, nothing else mattered.There were no scandals, no enemies, no threats, no arguments between their families. There was only the sound of two people who loved each other, laughing over a silly birthday song.“You are impossible,” Jennifer said.“You started it.”“I only wanted to wish you a happy birthday.”“And you had to e
The price of loving Jennifer. The Mexican connection
Chapter Thirty TwoThe Mexican connection John Langer had once been a name that men whispered.In the criminal underworld, his name carried weight from Jos to Abuja and as far as Minna. He was not merely a drug dealer. He was the man who controlled the supply chain.Anyone who wanted to sell drugs within his territory had to deal with the JL Cartel.Those who refused often paid a terrible price.Some distributors disappeared.Some peddlers were found dead.Others simply left town and never returned.John Langer had built his empire through fear, money and ruthless organization. He knew the routes. He knew the suppliers. He knew the distributors. He knew which corrupt officials could be bribed and which ones were better avoided.Then came the Mexicans.A powerful cartel from Sinaloa wanted to establish a major operation in Nigeria. They needed someone who understood the local terrain, the criminal networks and the movement of illegal substances across the country.John Langer was thei
The price of loving Jennifer. Whistle blower plan.
Chapter Thirty OneWhistle blower planThere are moments when a man realizes that his prison walls are not the greatest thing keeping him trapped.Sometimes, it is the absence of hope.John Langer had spent years watching men come and go from Kuje Prison. Some were released after serving their sentences. Others walked out because their lawyers had discovered some legal loophole. A few left in coffins.John had stopped expecting anything.His world had become a predictable cycle of concrete walls, iron gates, prison food, sleepless nights and memories he desperately wanted to forget.Then Raymond arrived.It was not the first time Raymond had visited him, but something about this visit felt different.He carried an envelope.John noticed it immediately.He looked at the envelope, then at Raymond.Raymond pulled out a chair and sat opposite him.John leaned forward.“What is that?”Raymond placed the envelope on the table.“An opportunity.”John laughed bitterly.“Opportunity?”Raymond
The price of loving Jennifer. Setting the stage for a fall
Chapter 30Setting the stage for a fall.Men with money and power rarely move alone.They have connections in places ordinary people never think to look. They have access to information that can remain hidden from everyone else. When one door closes, they find another. When an obstacle appears, they do not always confront it directly. Sometimes, they simply find someone else to remove it.Julian Adams had money.He also had Raymond.Raymond was the kind of man who understood that information could be more valuable than weapons. During his years in military service, he had learned how to study people, understand environments and recognize weaknesses.Julian had given him one instruction.Find a way to destroy Jack.Raymond had taken the instruction seriously.For days, he gathered information.He investigated Jack's movements, his friends, his business and his family connections. He learned about the people around him and, more importantly, the people who had reasons to dislike him.Bu
