"We have a swarm of reporters at your gate trying to get in," the guard reported and Jeremy frown"Ethan, what is your game?" Jeremy thought almost crushing the guard's phone in his hands. There was a knock on the door drawing Jeremy's attention to the front door. One of the servants quickly went to answer the door. "Jeremy, what is going on here?" Mr Green asked entering the living room looking angry with Mrs Carter trailing behind him together with Jacqueline. "I don't know yet but I am sure Ethan pull a fast one on me," Jeremy replied dismissing the guard after giving him back his phone and turning off the TV. "I told you that Ethan guy can't be trusted but you wouldn't believe me. We need an aggressive move. Where is that Olivia girl," Mr Green asked. "She is still inside the room," Jeremy replied "You have Olivia here? Perfect, time to slap the shit out of her for touching my husband," Jacqueline said taking her hand gloves off. "No one is touching that girl," Jeremy objec
"Andrews go get him. If he goes to Jeremy, I am not sure how things will turn out," Mr Carter said and quickly fetched his phone and made a call to someone"Be on standby, the worse may happen. If it does please, move in," Mr Carter said and hoped Jeremy would do the right thing.Outside the penthouse, the garage, Ethan got behind the wheel and drove out of the garage heading out of the compound. Andrews got there just in time to see Ethan drive out. He also got behind the wheel of another car and drove after Ethan. Back at Jeremy's apartment, Jeremy was on the phone with someone."Get those reporters out of my front door," Jeremy said "I don't want my apartment all over social media," Jeremy added"Good," Jeremy said and ended the call."Jeremy, did you ask them to send the reporters away?" Mr Green asked"Yes," replied Jeremy"Why? You could have used them to your advantage?" Mr Green said "How?" Jeremy questioned pacing up and down the living room."Simple, you go to them. Answe
He turned on his laptop. He sent a message to someone on his phone and then decided to get some work done waiting for nightfall. At a bar nearby, Ethan was sitting behind a table with a bottle of whisky in front of him. Andrews sat down on the chair opposite and tried to reason with him. "Ethan, I understand your concern for Olivia's safety but the way you are going about it is all wrong. Trust your dad. He knows what he is doing," Andrews. "Yes, he does. I have a question for you," Ethan said. "How did you and Davis escape leaving Olivia behind?" Ethan questioned and gulped down a glass of whisky "We were in the basement, Olivia was in the main house and the place was heavily guarded. We had no weapons," Andrews explained. "Convenient. Very convenient. So what you are trying to say here is that you guys were kept at an easy-to-escape place and Olivia was kept at a heavily guarded place. Very convenient, don't you think?" Ethan said sarcastically and Andrews sighed. "Ethan,..."
"You are right. I will be there early hours of the morning so we can discuss how we will get him out of police custody," Mr Green said and Jeremy acknowledged after which he ended the call. Jeremy sat on the bed staring at his phone screen after the call had ended. He shifted his gaze to Olivia who was lying on the sofa with her leg chained to the sofa. She appeared to be asleep but Jeremy knew she was lying down crying within or lost in thought. Jeremy shifted his gaze back to the phone and dialled a number. He brought the phone to his ears and waited for the call to connect."Hello, Mr Martin is in police custody," Jeremy said once the call was answeredTrue to Jeremy's thought, Olivia was lying on the sofa facing the back of the sofa awake. She was listening to what Jeremy was saying on the phone and trying to make meaning out of it. Olivia did not know what Mr Martin did but she was sure that if Mr Martin was in police custody, it was because he did something bad and Ethan got h
The servant hurried to the door and opened it. Jeremy was sitting calmly on the sofa while Mr Green watched the entrance wondering who would walk through the front door. Mr Green frowned seeing the person who had entered Jeremy's apartment. Davis and three other officers in uniform were standing in the living room of Jeremy. Mr Green turns to look at Jeremy hoping for an explanation but rather sees Oliva descending the staircase into the living room walking free. "Son, what is going on?" Mr Green asked looking at Jeremy "Dad, that is not how you welcome a good friend from the past," Jeremy said and sat down on the sofa crossing his legs. "Karma came to visit," Jeremy added. Olivia walked into the living room and found herself a seat. Mr Green looked at the Jeremy and Olivia. He turned his gaze to the officers who were just standing. One of them was holding a handcuff in his hand. "I don't suppose they are here for me," Mr Green said already concluding the officers were there for
"What is this punk doing here?" Ethan asked angrily"Ethan," Mr Carter and Olivia said in unison.Jeremy got up from the floor with his hand on his nose. Olivia quickly went to his side to check on him."Mr Gustav, I am so sorry. Are you alright?" Olivia asked helping JeremyEthan got annoyed seeing Olivia helping Jeremy. He wanted to hit Jeremy again but Mr Carter stopped him."Ethan, calm down. What is wrong with you? I know a lot had happened for you not to like Mr Gustav here but he is in my apartment and I am not angry at him, and neither is your father. At least know why we have welcomed him before you act on old feelings," Olivia said."I see," Ethan said and raised his eyebrow"This is what I get for defending you," he said raising his hand and making a fist.He walked out of the living room and Olivia went after him. Mr Carter sat down on the sofa and sighed. Jeremy cleaned his bleeding nose with his handkerchief and sat down."I have been Ethan's friend for many years and I
"Mr Green, only went for Jeremy to do to him exactly what he did to me. In the end, Jeremy will go to prison, we will lose some of our properties and Mr Green will get to walk free. Jeremy reached out to Officer Davis and he brought him to me. He was very delighted to see me alive. We planned this together and it was through Jeremy we found evidence of Mr Green's life work documented by Jeremy's grandfather but as usual, your perception about Jeremy got in the way. You need to forgive and forget, Ethan. You guys were children back then. Let go of it. Be an adult for once when it comes to life and stop being childish," Mr Carter said and left Ethan to his thoughts. At the Garcias, Mr Wilson was with Mr Garcia and Isabella. Camila was sitting on the balcony while the therapist engaged her in a conversation. Camila was still not herself but was better them before. She had refused to speak with anyone but now feeds herself and cleans up after herself. In the living room, Mr Wilson share
"Ethan, I am sorry for all the trouble I caused you during our college days. They were not deliberately done," Jeremy apologised and the two hugged each other. "Ethan, please stay and work with me," Jeremy requests and Ethan obliges.Ethan put aside his resentment towards Jeremy and they did a great job at the company together. All the guards Mr Martin brought on board to monitor everyone were sent away. The guards were unhappy but since they didn't have any contract with the company and the one whom they had a contract with had been arrested, they had no option then to leave. The operations of the company were placed back in the previous working system. Employees who were terminated by Mr Martin were all called back and compensated for the injustice done to them. While Ethan and Jeremy handled restoring the operations of the company, Olivia was tasked with handling the new client's request.It was soon 6 p.m. and Ethan asked Olivia to call it a day while he stayed back with Jeremy t
