Chapter 45

"Yes, you may," the chief said asking his men to bring out the handcuffs.
Simon was just standing there and observing the whole time without uttering any words and seeing how Max and his bodyguard were glancing at Georgia, he pulled Georgia to himself, as he told her that he did not like the look on their faces.
Georgia had not understood the gravity of what she was doing as she had no idea of the person that she was going up against. The police took Maxwell out of his premises and people were already taking pictures of the incident. it was a shocking situation as many saw him as a stainless man but knowing the way the country was, he knew that his name was going to be rubbed in the mud as he tried to cover his face with his hands each time they approached him.
Georgia and Simon were walking behind the police officers when suddenly Georgia felt that someone held her hand behind. Stopping to look who was holding her from behind, she was surprised to see Max's right-hand man holding her hand tightly with fore in his eyes. Georgia was terrified with his look and Simon noticing that Georgia's pace had slowed down, immediately turned back to know what was happening with her.
"Let go of my hand you pig," Georgia spat out looking straight into the guard's eyes but what he said, made goosebumps to fill her body leaving her in a state of complete fear.
"You and your boyfriend need to watch your backs from this very moment because you both do not know who you have messed with."
Tears were seen forming in Georgia's eyes and Simon reached to take her hand out of the man's own, Georgia was trembling in fright. Looking at Simon and seeing how his threat had gotten whole over Georgia, he gave them a demonic smile as he walked out on them in order to follow his boss to the police station.
Max had already called his lawyer and agreed to meet him there, his adviser asked him not answer to any questions that will be asked of him unless he had arrived there. Max accepted and without any worries, his mind flashed back to Georgia and what she had done.
Crystal and Blaze had already reached the office to meet with his Lawyer and stepping out of the car, she breathe in and out before turning her eyes to look at Blaze with a smile. Her life was going to become more complicated at that very moment as she was going to go up against the man she saw as a second father and she had looked up to all these years.
A man she reached and obeyed every request not thinking about whether it was right or wrong just because she wished to please him. All those things were going to be settled down in a few minutes as she was going to narrate everything she knows without leaving anything behind.
Standing at looking at the building, she felt Blaze's hand slipping into hers, and turning her head, she saw a smile on his face as he whispered,
"I am here babe, you at not alone."
His words consoles her heart but still, she was scared of the possibility of being jailed for all the thefts she had committed.
Her heart was putting up and letting out an encouraging smile she told Blaze that she was ready for what was going to happen. Blaze walked her inside where his friend was waiting for him already.
Taking the elevator, Crystal held on to blaze like her life depended on him, and seeing how scared she was, he kissed her forehead as a way of assurance. They did not take up to two minutes to reach the floor where his friend works and walking to a door, Crystal's grip got tighter on his hand and he told her to calm down as there was nothing to be scared of.
Max was already at the police station and in a twinkle of an eye, there were many reporters from different television channels together with their cameras wanting to have a one on one with him. Forcing their way as the police officers held them back, Max's right-hand man was very mad at the situation as Max had become his second father. He had always treated him like his own son though he never had children and that alone was very touching to him.
Zane looked at the unrest that was outside and his blood boiled inside his skin. Veering around his head and sighting Georgia coming in with Simone and his teeth ground in his mouth. Georgia was bent on making Max confess to his sins and telling her where her friend was if not she was going to sound his illegal dealings to the whole world.
Her mother was in her office when her friend and colleague walked into her space panting as though someone was chasing her just to tell Georgias mom to switch on her television and watch what was going on there.
"What is it Vivianne?" she asked in panic before grabbing the tv remote to switch on her television. Seeing her daughter on tv, she rose to her feet as the environment was a place that she was not expecting to see her there.
Wondering what Georgia was doing in a police station, she turned to her friend saying,
"I have to get to this station like what is going on with my daughter and why is she in a police station?" she asked her friend in a mad rage but her friend asked her to look well as she was not understanding that it was not Georgia who was in trouble, she paused for a minute to understand what she meant by that.
"Georgia had sued one of the most influential men in the country and she claims that he is keeping her friend and no one has seen her for weeks," she narrated. Her words drew her attention to the screen and that was when she saw Max in handcuffs.
"What?!" she exclaimed seeing the gravity of what her daughter was putting herself into. Her hands trembled and her lips could not speak further the fear that had settled inside her heart.
Her eyes were wide open and asking herself why she has such a stubborn daughter, her friend interrupted her question when she asked what was going on.
"Are you having a problem in your family Yvonne?" she called out but Georgias mother making her way out of the office in a hurry, remembered that she had not picked up her car keys so she ran back inside to get her keys. With her heart pumping inside her chest, Yvonne ran out of the building heading to the parking lot to get her car.
She knew the kind of man Max was so she did not want her family to be involved with his madness. Starting the engine of her car, she drove off like a hysterical woman in the direction of the prison.
"Welcome bro," Blaze's attorney spoke outstretching his hand to him.
"Thank you man," Blaze responded shaking his hand and turning his gaze to Crystal with a smile. Freddy looked at Crystal and he was wowed by her beauty. Her innocent face and captivating lips were what attracted everyone to her and he found it difficult to close his mouth.
"You might swallow a fly if your mouth stays this open for some more time," Blaze teased him and Freddy laughed out horribly. Stretching his hand to Crystal, he asked Blaze whether that was his client and he nodded while adding,
"She is also my woman," Blaze snatched the words from his mouth before he could say anything further.
"Nice to meet you Barrister...," she paused for a while noticing that she had not taken his name and Freddy responded with a disappointed smile on his face saying,
"Freddy Duncan."
"I am Crystal Melody Taylor, and it is my pleasure to meet you, and I hope that we will get along well," she said.
Freddy asked them to please have their seats and his stare was on Blaze the whole time. He has always known him to be a bad boy who flirts with the heart of women but never could he have imagined that, the client he was waiting for was his woman.
That could only mean one thing which was that Blaze loved her. Noticing that Freddy could not stop staring at Crystal, Blaze let out a smile as it was normal, she was a very beautiful lady that no man in his right senses could resist. But having the full confidence that she was his woman, he was playing with that knowing that Crystal was different from what she looked like.
"So let us begin, I need all the details you can remember Ms. Crystal because my client here, had already explained some parts of your problems to me over the phone," he spoke out in a friendly but professional voice so as to make Crystal feel comfortable.
"Do you have anything to say in respect to what Ms? Georgia Eyong is accusing you of?" the officer asked getting ready to write done his statement but Max following strictly what his Attorney had told him to do, said that he was not going going to respond to any of their questions unless his lawyer was around.
The officer saw that he was playing tough so he turned his gaze to Georgia and Simon knew that they had no other choice but to wait for his attorney. Maxwell was tightening his grip under the table that he was sitting on but his eyes ran throw Georgia's face thinking of how he was going to deal with her after he must have been released from where he was sitting. His lawyer had arrived at the prison the same time as Georgia's mom.
"Excuse me officer, my daughter is here please where is she?" Mrs. Yvonne asked in a panic wanting to know where her daughter was, in fear for her life ignoring that they were at the police station. The officer asked what her daughter's name was and she responded quickly.
Mrs. Yvonne was panicking when she saw Georgia come out from one of the offices followed by Simon.
"Mom!" she called out in surprise wondering how her mother had managed to know that she was at the police station and her mom seeing her, rushed towards Georgia with tears in her eyes asking why she was so stubborn to follow up that case.
Georgia was surprised by her mother's question so she started herself by her asking how on earth could she say something like that. Reminding her mom of who was involved in what she was fighting for, she also made her understand that if something had happened to her, Crystal would not have given up the search for her so easily but she was disappointed in her mother's words.
"But you cannot understand Georgia, you need to stay off this matter," she spoke out holding her daughter but Georgia was bent on searching for her friend no matter what her mother was going to say to her. She had grown to know her mother to be just and truthful but the woman that she was seeing in front of her was not her mom. Georgia began to suspect her mom and that was the reason why she had not told her about her plans to arrest Maxwell as she has been very dormant with Crystal's case.
Since the day that those goons had stormed at their house and made a mess, her mom had asked her not to get involved even after listening to them saying that they were searching for Crystal. Her heart was in pieces and walking out of her mom, Simon told Mrs. Yvonne to calm down herself as he was going to talk to Georgia.
