JEWEL'S POVI dashed in to the hospital with Henry hot on my tail. My mind was in turmoil and I didn't know what to think. Immediately the call dropped, all my senses heightened. I had tried calling my sister's number again but she didn't pick it and that made me even more scared than I already was.Henry became worried as I had become even more frantic. I kept calling the number again and this time, it was Lyla that had picked up the call. The little girl was crying and had told me that her daddy had beaten up her mummy, before leaving the house in anger, leaving her mummy bleeding on the floor.I was angry, furious but most of all I was scared. I had to assure the little girl that help was on the way. Henry who had overheard the phone call already called his driver to go over to Pearl's house to pick them up and take them to the hospital. Then later, Henry and I were on our

HENRY'S POV"So, when we supply..." One of my contractor was doing a presentation but I was barely paying attention as my mind wouldn't stop going back to two night before. To what happened between Jewel and I, and my lips wouldn't stop stretching in a smile.What had happened between us was nothing short of mind blowing and electrifying. No, we didn't have sex. I just helped her feel relaxed by eating her out. My pants tightened at the simple thought of it, my mind going back to relieve every moment of that night.The way she moaned out my name as my fingers worked inside her and my lips feasted on her core. The way she clawed the bed with one hand and ran her fingers through my scalp with the other, pulling me even closer to her core. How she spat out words that would make a nun blush as I brought her to climax, her sweet nectar on my tongue.Fuck.

HENRY'S POVThe beeping sound pulled me out of the silent comfort of sleep. I opened my eyes slowly, reaching out for the source of disturbance coming from the bed side table. It was Jewel's small digital clock that was sounding an alarm. I dismissed it by pushing a button then going back to lie still on the bed, my eyes adjusting to the dim lit room.I looked beside me and saw Jewel was still very much fast asleep, partially covered underneath the sheets of the bed, wearing absolutely nothing. Her soft skin against mine as I didn't feel any form of material or textile between us.I blinked rapidly as the memories from last night surfaced in my mind, every single detail of it engraved in my head: I recalled everything, how our cloths had been torn off our bodies, how we had moved from the sofa in the living room and finally to her bed room, hands and lips exploring. I wonder how

Recap from the last chapter. I dashed into the police station and went straight to the interrogation room where they were definitely questioning Selene, ignoring the calls of the police men that stood by the reception table. I got to the interrogation room and met Henry, with the DPO and Selene handcuffed. Henry looked at me in awe. "What are you doing here?" He asked me. "She still hasn't confessed." He chipped in, pointing to Selene who just sat motionless in the chair, her eyes blood shot from so much crying. I began to feel pity for her. "That's because she didn't do it." I revealed breathlessly, shocking the hell out of them. Henry's eyes widened. "What did you just say?""I know who did it." I said and he urged me to go on. "It was Tayo that kidnapped Sharon."______________________________

Recap from previous chapterOn cue Ademola came out of the theatre and walked towards them, removing the bloody glove and disposing them. Everyone sitting down, stood up immediately they sighted her."Ademola, how is my son ?" Taju asked even before Jewel could. Jewel could feel him trying to be calm but there was an edge in his tone."He is stable now, but he is unconscious. So, we have wheeled him to his private Ward and we just see what happens." Ademola said."Were there any complications. Is he going to be perfectly fine?" Jewel asked her and Ademola smiled."He is in shape. We were able to remove the bullet before it when deeper into the abdomen. It was so close to damaging his liver but we got there in time to remove it." Ademola explained and everyone heaved a sigh of relief."Can we see him?" Jewel made to move but Ademola stopped her.
