Chapter 31

"What is wrong with you...I thought we had a deal... Are you insane..." Rachel bounced into the house while Jeffrey was busy jumping around. The moment Jeffrey sees him, he froze and stopped what he was doing.
"I'm sorry but I'm no longer interested in Jennifer... I'm sorry" His mood changed while he was staring at her.
"Not interested? I don't get it... are you insane? What made you change your mind... don't you have a better plan" She yelled while walking toward him... and... slapped him.
"Ma'am... what this for" I played my hand in my jaw while staring at Hazzard's eye.
"You are mad for asking such a question... I brought you here for a deal but you went ahead to do something else... dammit... that's why I love working alone... I hate you... I hate you Jeffrey" She slapped me again and I felt my hands wanting to slap her back.
"You left me... I was thinking of an idea but you left... you left me, Rachel... What was I supposed to do... I needed you but where were you... where were you Rachel... you see... you can't say anything and I did what my mind asked me to do and you are mad at me... you know what... why don't you take the international passport and start a new life somewhere else... There are a lot of handsome guys down there... why are you just stressing yourself over someone who doesn't have a dime feeling for you... Rachel... grow up... you are not a baby... Once you leave this country, you will find a lot of guys and you'll even get tired of choosing... you know what Rachel... I'm fed up living my life under someone else shoe... now all I can think of is starting a new life with my mum... you too try and do the same" I yelled back at her as I controlled myself from doing something stupid... I was pained in my heart and kept telling me to give her a beat of her life for slapping me twice but I quickly let go.
"You see... you are so ungrateful... I brought you here to do a simple business for me but now you have just gained 6 million dollars... you want me to frustrate myself right... Let me tell you... I'll kill Jennifer with my bare hands... trust me... I have never failed a promise and I won't fail this one" She sited her finger in anger and tried leaving the room but Jeffrey stopped her.
"I'm sorry dear... why don't we forget about them... who knows, maybe both of us can be together and live happily...Who knows? I'm begging you in the name of God, don't hurt Jennifer... I care for her and I won't want to let her get hurt..." I held her hand from stopping her from getting out of the room as she turned her face on me with the hazard look.
"Oh... you care about her? It is funny... And by the way... what will make you want to have feelings for you... you poor bastard... Do I even look like someone you can make happy? I didn't ask for this but you just want me to do this... I'm sorry Jeffrey... soon, Jennifer will be out of the world" She yelled again and Jeffrey slowly removed his hand as she left with anger.
"Damn... Jennifer is in trouble... what should I do now... it's all my fault... fuck... What should I do... should I turn myself in... dammit... I shouldn't have signed into this dangerous plan... Oh... God... what should I do now... I feel frustrated right now... my mum is in a sickbed battling with her life and now Jennifer is about to still lose her life... What should I do? God, answer me... I need you now... God... I mean right now..." He scratches his head and continues to murmur while scattering all the phone and equipment nearby in frustration.
"Fuck... fucking tired... " He yelled again trying to throw away the monitor before the door opened and he turned his neck.
" What is..." He stammered as he turned his neck and saw that the money had arrived.
"Sir... this is the money... What's the next plan, sir..." One of the boys in charge of the operation grabbed the box toward Jeffrey.
"Woah..... Woah... we made it ..." Jeffrey opened it slowly and yelled as all of them followed him.
"Enough... we all did a nice job but I know we all planned to keep this a secret... No one is allowed to leak any information out, we all go down" I brought one of the hard Currency wraps with leather and gave it to each of them.
"Thanks... we are expecting your call soon sir..." They all left after collecting all their part of the money from him.
"Wow... I just became the boss right now... wow... The kidnapping case is easy as I comprehend... they all respect me but if it was Dean... damn... I could have been insulted" I quickly dressed properly as I prepared to see my mum.
"I think I should not go with the money... it better I go with a different thing entirely but also... I have to keep part of the money for Rachel... yeah this is not her idea but all of this came from her... Yes... Anyway... I should visit my mum... I'll be back for the money." He locked the room after putting on his black suit and went further to see his mum in the hospital.

"Hello sweetheart...hope you are fine... dis you get hurt... fuck... did anyone touch you?" Dean ran out of his car immediately he saw Jennifer standing outside and confused.
" What just happened... How did I get here... oops... so I have been standing there for more than a house now... damn... why is everyone staring at me... what happened Dean..." she complained looking around and seeing everyone staring at her... She was shocked to see herself back in the boutique and if not for Dean... she won't notice because her face is covered and no one even cares to open it.
"No... nothing is happening... let's just go home... Are you hungry... come... " He held her hands and walks her toward his car
"Yeah... I'm hungry... but can you please tell me how I got back to the boutique..." She entered the car with her weak body and her dirty body.
Dean didn't say anything to her until they got to a big restaurant where Jennifer was able to wash her body and put on different clothes Dean bought on the way.
"Damn... glad you look clean and beautiful now... can we eat... come" He smiled as she came out from the dressing room with the news gown he bought for her.
"I'm starving... waiter gets us food as fast as possible..."She yelled as the joy in her accompanied her smile.
"How are you doing..." Dean asked, staring at her beautiful smile he has missed for a long time.
"What do you mean how am I doing... Am I supposed to be fine? It's like you have taken something else" She yelled while giving Dean a knock on his head.
"I'm sorry for asking... Honestly Jennifer... I'm sorry for not being there for you... you know what I mean... if I was at your side... those kidnappers will not be able to take you... I'm sorry Jenni... but I promise to be by your side for now... every minute and every time..." He apologized with his remorseful voice making Jennifer feel pity for him.
"What do you mean... it's not your fault... why do you have to sound like this right now... anyway... it's over now... why don't we just think about the future for now" She commented as the waiter dropped the food at their table before taking his leave.
"What did those kidnappers do to you...I saw a video sent by one of them killing someone close to you" Dean was still shining his teeth as the first thing he took from his food was the turkey.
"Another person... No... I'm certain, I was the only one... I am sure about that..." She stops eating for a moment and stares at one of the beggars on the roadside...
"You know... I could have been one of them if it wasn't for you... this my life is complicated and I'm grateful to you every day..." Her voice lowered as she continued to look at the beggars.
"Don't say that... wait... do you mean no one was with you... then... what was that beggar trying to do... or..." Dean paused his food as his eye clips wiggle upward. " Or maybe they were trying to catch my attention... wow... it's a nice game" Dean commented again and continued to eat.
"So how did I get out... how do you know I was supposed to be there... I've been scared to ask but since you opened up the topic... please, I'd like to know..." She questions while looking away from the beggars and continues to eat.
"Madam... bring me another plate of food... hurry up" Jennifer shouted at one of the waiters.
"I don't know what happened but I got a text that you are at the boutique... I was scared if it was another trap but I still decided to check... and that is how I found you" He lied staring at her beautiful lip which he's always tempted to have a taste for.
"It sounds strange... they kidnapped me and still brought me back... Hmm.. let's just eat" She cracked her skull but couldn't stop eating.
"So... when you were kidnapped... did you notice anything, any sign... any interaction between them...It will be useful if we inform the police on time so that we can be able to catch them red-handed" Dean commented after being filled with the meal with the drink in his hand and watching her wife smile.
"Hmm... I don't even know what to call that place... but I know that every hour, a suffering person used to come in and check on me... And... when the person does, every other person will go out... I don't know what to say to him but he was too nice to me... just as if we had met b4... but I can't judge..." She slowly explained and stopped eating.
"Hmm... nice to have you back... can we go home now?" she concluded while turning all the wine into his mouth.
"Hmm... yeah but I'm pretty sure that the person who is so nice to me has a scar in his hand... yes... I can see it clearly but didn't see his face because it was covered... let's just go home... I haven't slept well in days" She concluded as they both stood up and about to leave the restaurant...
Before Dean was about to leave, he quickly paid the waiter for the services offered and paid two times the money in case of the next time.
Dean took her to his vehicle where he drove her home, to his greatest surprise, she slept on their way home. Reaching the house, Dean had to wake her up before stepping down from the car.
"Hi... as soon as we entered, you can go to your room and sleep as you like... don't worry... no one will disturb you" Dean held her hands as both of them entered the house together...
As they entered, the first person they saw was his mum.
"Jenni... I have missed you" Dean's mum rushed to Jennifer and gave her a tight warm hug and did not want to let go.
"Mum... what are you doing in my house again...I thought you told me each time you are coming, you'll call me..." Dean murmurs and walks into his room, leaving his mum and Jennifer alone.
While Dean's mum continued to hug Jennifer, a call intersected into Jenni's phone.
"Hi... it Jeffrey... Can we see tomorrow please?" Jeffrey asked as Dean's mum stopped hugging her.
"Okay... no problem... just text me the address" She responded awkwardly and ended the call.
"Has this phone been with me? how did I not notice..." She murmured, staring at her mum with a fake smile.
