Adil.The car slowly came to an halt and I looked up at the signboard on the road where she stopped, “Welcome to City Falls” it read, my eyes slowly went wide and I turned to look at her,“How did you know this place?!” I asked my voice barely above a whisper, she slowly turned off the ignition, and turned to look at me, “I don’t know, it just felt really familiar, and I found myself here,” she muttered in reply, I slowly reached out to her and took her hands in mine,“Tell me, what’s wrong,” I muttered, she slowly looked up at me and took out her phone, she typed a few things and stretched it out to me, I swallowed hard as I watched the video playing on her phone, her phone began to ring, it was Bella, she took it from me answered it and placed it on speak out, “Watsup Janelle, where are you?!” Bella said, “Where else?! My husband just disappeared like that, I’m looking for him ofcourse!”“But Janelle, is Adil really capable of doing something like that,” she asked, she exhaled de
Janelle.I drove into the driveway and turned the ignition off, I turned to Tehilla where she lay in the back seat already fast asleep, my heart broke for her, she grew up without a mother and now she is going to be away from a father for quite sometime, with her father’s face pasted around as wanted, I’m just really thankful that quite Adil busy schedule he was able to make quality time for her, my phone began to ring in my bag, I gently picked up my bag in the chair next to me, took out my phone, it was a call from Diane, I swiped on it and answered the call.“Hi, any progress?!” She asked, I shook my head as if she could see me and slowly sat up in my seat, “I didn’t find him, one minute he was at the podium, the next minute he wasn’t , I don’t know what to do Diane,” I muttered intentionally allowing my voice to appear broken, “This is more than a speculation Janelle, the evidences tendered are too much, I want to hand over the case to another team,” she said, my heartbeat shot
Becky.That same night 12:30am Midnight.I sat on the couch in the living room, my legs occasionally tapping the floor as I waited for grandfather to come in, the door went open and Enzo walked in instead.I got up to my feet immediately and walked towards him, immediately he got to my front he slowly tucked his hands into his pocket and looked up at me.“W-what did you do Enzo?!” I asked my voice panicking lightly as I stared at him, his lips stretched into a small smile, he blinked slowly and stepped closer to me.“Why do you seem scared mother?!” He asked instead, I scoffed lightly, softly throwing my head to the side before turning back to look at him.“Don’t play with me Enzo, we both know Adil is not capable of those allegations, what did you do!” I gritted trying my best to not yell, he chuckled and stepped away from me as he retrieved his hands from his pocket and folded it across his chest, he gently turned away from me and walked towards the chair, I spun around and turned t
Janelle.Next day 8:30 am.“Chad, have you been able to hack into his phone?!” I asked walking into their office, they all paused and turned to face me, I quickly looked around the office but Bella wasn’t there, I sighed slightly and turned back to Chad, he shook his head slowly as he moved his chair backwards and stood up, he slowly walked towards me with his tablet in his hands,“I’m still on it, there’s sort of a security system around his business network, it’s difficult to get into that,” he exhaled and I sighed deeply, I gently raised my hands to my waist and looked up at him,“So there’s nothing we can do?!” I asked and he shook his head.“It’s actually getting easier, since he’s dead, there’s really nobody trying to stop the hack, so I’m working on hacking into every company files and important details, it might take a few more days though,” he said and I nodded slowly,“So long as there’s a solution, I don’t mind,” I said to him, he nodded firmly and returned to his seat.I
Becky.My mouth dropped open as I slowly reached for the table and stood up, Janelle?!She slowly walked into the room, she was putting on an army green Blazer jacket that stopped few inches up her knee with silver accents on the neckline, on pink stilettos with a silver ring on the pointy toes, she had the exact same ring design on her shoe as earrings, her porcelain skin was well dolled up in makeup and she had her hair down in coils. She paused in her tracks and slowly turned to look at grandfather with a small smile holding her silver clutch purse tightly,“I’m sorry I’m late,” she whispered, he beamed at her and nodded slowly, “You’re right on time dear,” he replied and with that she chuckled lightly, what she did next sent my head spinning, she walked up to the chairman position and took her seat there, Grandfather slowly turned to me and looked up at me,“Take your seat Becky, let’s continue ” he muttered, with my mouth still hung open, I slowly turned to Enzo as I took my se
Janelle.Flash Back, Last Night.I placed my elbow on the car window and gently rested my forehead in my palm, with my eyes still perfectly on the road, my phone began to ring and I picked it up and placed it on speak out,“What?, just few minutes away and you already miss me?!” I teased trying to sound lively, he chuckled lightly and switched to video call, I accepted the call and gently sat up well in my seat placing the phone on a phone stand in front of me so he could see me well, “I have an idea,” he said and I nodded slowly urging him to go on,“I think we should speak to my grandfather,” he said, I slammed my legs on the brake and came to a screeching halt by the side of the road, I turned off the ignition, took out my phone and held it up close to my face,“What are you talking about?!”“I’m very sure, Grandfather would trust my judgement, just go to him and I’ll do the rest myself,” he said, I slowly leaned into the chair and raised my hands to my hair brushing it backwards.
Adil.“You look stunning,” I said to Janelle immediately her face came into view on the phone, her lips stretched into a small smile, as she turned to look at me occasionally while still driving.“I just left your Grandfather, I’m on my way back to the office,” she said to me and I nodded in reply, I witnessed every single thing that happened today, she made Jerry wear a camera on the left part of his shirt, just so I witness the meeting also, I wont lie I enjoyed every minute of watching Becky sigh in defeat, I knew this far from being over but it was a very successful start.“Babe, don’t you think you were wrong about Enzo, he was among the people who voted that I become chairwoman,” “He even walked up to me to tell me that you’re not capable of what they’re accusing you,” she said, I sucked deeply on air and exhaled, I saw that too, that bastard! I’m very sure he’s driving at something, he waited this long for me to leave the company before getting in and now he’s acting like he’s
Janelle.4:00pm I exhaled deeply as I stepped out of the car, slammed the door shut and began to make my way into the office.I have a whole lot of explanation to do at work, I had left in an hurry earlier without properly explaining and now I’m sure they’ve all seen the news and they have questions for me.I wasn’t wrong, immediately I walked into the office, the other junior staff began whispering among themselves, I was still in the clothes I was putting on from the meeting and they had never seen me in extremely fancy clothes like this around the office, I held on to my clutch purse tightly as I walked towards the elevator, as the elevator door went open, I looked up to see Diane inside, I exhaled deeply for the umpteenth time and stepped in.“What exactly is going on Janelle, you’ve lost me,” she said immediately the doors went close, I slowly turned to look up at her,“You don’t have to worry about me, what you saw on TV today won’t affect my work,”“I can’t go into details rig
