Judeโs side of the story continues from same evening of last episode
As I headed out of the hostel to get some snacks at a shop close by, I spotted my Tracy alighting from a Toyota SUV.
ย At first my heart froze on sighting her before a smile gradually appeared on my face as my heart began beating rapidly. I just wasnโt expecting her to return to the hostel so soon and somehow I felt she was badly missing me, hence her sudden return.
Unfortunately my joy was cut short the moment my eyes fell on the driver of the SUV as he equally alighted and headed to the car boot to bring down Tracyโs things.
I instantly smelt danger the moment my eyes fell on the young man. He was well dressed in a striped shirt and well ironed plain trouser. The air and charisma in which he carried himself sold him off as a very rich career guy. I swallowed hard as I stood like a frozen image, watching him hug my Tracy before jumping into his car and driving away.
Nervously I approached Tracy not exactly knowing what to say to her. Yes of course I was very jealous. I was very mad; I was very pained over what I just witnessed.
โโhey dear welcome backโโ I muttered, forcing out a smile as I approached her.
โโhey Jude whatsup?โโ she greeted causally as if we were just nothing but old pals. It really got to me but since we were still far from being cool with each other, I simply let it go.
โโhmmm you really brought in lots of thingsโโ I joked, dutifully carrying two of the heavy sacks I saw on the floor. She rolled her eyes and shook her head.
โโJude I never asked you to help me. I can take them to my room myself. Werenโt you going somewhere?โโ she asked coldly. I bit my lips as I flinched, fighting hard to control my pride. Yes of course I cheated on her, I lied to her, I played with her feelings but I never deceived her into loving me because I was very much in love with her but she was just carrying on as if she was gold, diamond or something so highly special.
โโTracy come on, why are you acting so uptight?โโ I breathed.
โโbecause I know you are just looking for a way to blow more lies into my ears. I moved on. You just saw my new guy right?. So just let me be and face your life with your Pamela or whatever sheโs calledโโ she hissed arrogantly, freezing me with her annoying words. Of course it was my entire fault but she wasnโt just giving me the chance to explain things to her.
โโletโs go to your room first. We will talk when we get thereโโ I muttered with a controlled voice. She rolled her eyes once again.
โโJude my room is no longer open to you. Iโm sorry but I know you never loved me, you needed someone who would be your companion, your helper and cook over here and I fell for it. Just look for another girl to fool or simply manage for these few remaining months and return to the lady of your class who would probably be waiting with a white baby for you by thenโโ she hissed, grabbed two of her bags and headed to the hostel, leaving me standing like a fool.

Kelvinโs side of the story continues from the last scene of the previous episode
Instead of opening up to me, the inspector simply changed the topic after a little hesitation.
โโyour girlfriend or should I call her your fiancรฉe is waiting to talk with you. We will finish our discussion laterโโ he muttered with a smile while I shrugged. I couldnโt help but wonder what he meant exactly by me playing ball since he wasnโt yet ready to make his demands open.
He soon left the room while Jessica walked in with a food flash. She wasnโt exactly looking bright and I stared at her curiously.
โโthey denied you bail. You will be spending the night here my love. But I believe by tomorrow you will be freed. I never knew you had a gun. You could have given it to me to hide for youโโ she said softly as I quickly devoured the food she brought for me.
โโI hid the gun very well Jessica. I still canโt believe how they found itโโ I replied slowly.
โโthey said you are being held for kidnapping and possession of fire arm and that granting you bail is still impossible until they are done with the investigations but i believe itโs all about money and you shouldnโt be worried. I will get you out before the end of tomorrowโโ she promised softly. My eyes brightened, she just had a way of appearing like an angel before me.
โโbut one more thing my loveโโ she added, staring deep into my eyes.
โโdonโt you want me anymore?โโ she asked, leaving me amused with her question. Of course there wasnโt any way I was going to be honest in that situation.
