"I am Nathaniel Green, your father," The man said and Jeremy frowned"My father? I was told my parents died when I was just five years old. So what are you talking about?" Jeremy said recalling how he met Ethan. Jeremy was in high school when his grandfather passed on. He received a call informing him of his grandfather's passing and he broke down. His grandfather was the only family he had. He sat down alone in the canteen in tears. Ethan walked into the canteen and after getting what he came to the canteen for, he drew closer to Jeremy. They became friends and Ethan supported Jeremy throughout his education till he was done with school. Ethan left the country but never forgot about Jeremy. It was through Ethan Jeremy got his job until Olivia happened and Jeremy ended up in jail. "Yes, that is what you were told but your grandfather said that to you. I didn't know about you," Mr Green said to Jeremy."This is not the place for this conversation. I came here to get you out. Just g

At Mr Green's new location, he was sitting on a chair looking at Jeremy who had been tied up a chair. Jacqueline sat on the side enjoying a lollipop"What do you want from me?" Jeremy yelled and Mr Green frowned"Do I look like the enemy? I got you out of prison after Ethan left you there to rot for a crime you didn't commit," Mr Green yelled at him and Jeremy just stared at him."Ethan put me in prison. You showed up out of the blue and decided to release me from prison," Jeremy scuffed. "How old are you?" Jeremy asked and both Mr Green and Jacqueline exchanged glances returning their gaze to Jeremy with a frown. "What do you need that for?" Mr Green asked with a frown, annoyed Jeremy was not cooperating with him. "I just want to be sure your grey hair and looks came with time," Jeremy replied and Mr Green frowned. Jacqueline felt she had heard enough insults from Jeremy directed at the man she loves. She got up and entered the first bedroom of the two-bedroom apartment they were

It was soon 6 p.m. and Olivia was not back home. Ethan had started the process for a divorce and had returned to Olivia's apartment after helping his father with a few things. He called Olivia's phone when it was quarter to 7 p.m. and there was still no sign of her but her phone was off."Dad, Olivia is still not home," Ethan announced to his father"I am coming over," Mr Carter replied and ended the call.Mr Carter dialled Andrews's number and brought the phone to his ears and patiently waited for it to connect."Andrews, meet me at Olivia's apartment," Mr Carter said and ended the call after Andrews had acknowledged. Mr Carter grabbed his car keys and headed for the exit. He pressed for the elevator and entered once it was open. Waiting for the elevator to get to the ground floor felt like forever. The beeping sound of the elevator brought some relief to Mr Carter for the long wait inside the machine. He stepped out of the elevator and quickly sat behind the wheel and drove out of

"Before I met Olivia's mother, I was a con artist, just like Mr Green," Mr Carter said and Andrews and Ethan's jaw dropped. "I was raised in the orphanage but they schooled me to a senior high level. I don't know what happened to my parents but that was something I was not interested in so I never bothered to find out. Life as it is was already difficult. I needed to survive after running away from the orphanage. The treatment there was bad. I could not get any proper job and ended up living off people either by asking or stealing," Mr Green narrated "I met Mr Green, also a teenager like my life. He had lived on the streets longer than me who just run away from the orphanage. He taught me everything I knew about con. We were making good money so I never saw anything wrong with it. I lived this life for a year. One day, Mr Green came to me talking about a big con," Mr Carter narrated; ******** A couple of years back ************** "Hey, Carter," came Mr Green's voice "Green?" Mr

"So now what do we do? How do we recover what we have lost?" Ethan asked."I have a plan," Andrews said after being silent for a while."What do you have in mind?" Mr Carter asked and Ethan moved his gaze to Andrews, both waiting to hear what Andrews would say. Andrews leaned forward and shared the plan he had in mind. Ethan and Mr Carter listened attentively."What do you think?" Andrews asked their opinion after sharing his plan with them. "That will work but it means Olivia would have to keep going back to the office," Mr Carter said."I don't like the idea of Olivia going back to the office. I lost her before, I don't want to lose her again. So what other options do we have?" Ethan asked"We can't get a new person employed and neither if you can go there either. That leaves us with Olivia," Andrews explained and Ethan lowered his head. "It's late, let's discuss this further tomorrow. I like your idea but I don't want to endanger Olivia too," Mr Carter added his voice "That is
