Chapter 35
"Honey... I know how you feel but it his mum's sake we are doing all of this... if your mum is in his shoe, I'll do the same for you... for the sake of God and man... let help him... we were once his friends" Jennifer rubbed Dean on his back, telling him to calm down as he was hitting his steering with anger
"I just can't... you won't understand... it is not in my mind right now... and I don't even know what to do or think next" Dean turned and looked at her with tears covering his eyes... Despite the fact that he couldn't help, he found his heart aching as tears gathered in his eyes.
"I have been here with you for some time now, why don't you trust me and tell me what is going on with you right now... I can be helpful with the little things I can do... I promise..." She continued to rub his back while staring at him to calm him down.
"It's difficult... When you were gone, the kidnapper asked for a Ransom of 6 million dollars and it was hard for me to raise it and now you are asking for a favor... it's not that I don't want to help but gathering such money now will be hard for me..." He was sober while Jennifer brought out a napkin and cleaned his tears.
"I know you used 6 million..." Dean interrupted her before she was able to complete the statement.
"Who told you," he asked while staring at her but she looked sideways.
"Your mum told me everything but I pretend not to know anything... I know you have been a lot lately because of me and I appreciate the efforts you put to make me smile... Honestly, I'm grateful but I'm also asking a favor from you... not because we are close but this is for the sake of Jeffrey's mum. Even though I'm not with my mum, for now, it doesn't make me think I don't deserve my mum's love... I love her even though I'm far away and I miss her every day of my life... If Jeffrey's mum leaves this world because of us, I will always blame myself for trusting you in helping him. Dean... please...do this favor for me" As she explained with a pitiful voice, her cell phone rang and she looked at it but refused to pick it up since Jeffrey called him.
"I can see you promised him the money... now he's calling you... anyway... let me text a friend to send me the money..." He brought out his cell phone and dialed his friend but he didn't pick up before he texted him and also the account number.
"Let's just hope, God touches him to send me the money... sometimes, he can be annoying" He started up the car and drove off.
"He'll" She responded as both of them were quiet during the journey.
As both of them drive, Jennifer was tempted to tell Dean what he saw on Jeffrey's hand but she kept doubting since Jeffrey needed their help with the one million nairas... she kept asking herself if the scar is truly the scar from one of the kidnappers but she's certain it's but she doesn't believe Jeffrey is one of the operators
As she was thinking, her phone rang but she is already far away to notice... her phone rings again and Dean looks at it, but it was Jeffrey so he thought Jennifer is avoiding him because of the money.
Jennifer is still far away... thinking about what happened when she was kidnapped...
immediately, Dean's friend sent the money to Dean's account and he just received the alert.
"Jennifer... he sent the money" he smiled while staring at the road... he was so happy but Jennifer didn't respond. He turned and looked at her but because he was at high speed he quickly looked back in the road.
" Jenni... the money has arrived" He was still staring at the road where he uses his right hand to touch Jennifer's boobs accidentally.
"Are you mad?" Jenni woke up back in reality and slapped Dean in shock while he was driving.
"It's a mistake... I'm sorry... my friend has sent the money" The slap makes him lose control of the road so he holds his brake in the middle of the road.
"Wow! Thank God... why did you touch my Breast... don't try it next time" she froze herself and composed as she was about to slap him again.
"Chuckle" " I never knew boobs are so soft... can I touch it again?" Dean laughed, stretching his hand slowly toward Jennifer but he was threatened.
"You are sick... I'm calling Jeffrey right away to send me his account details before he said I'm a bad person for not picking up his calls" She dialed Jeff's number while Dean was staring at him.
"Hello sir, please can you send me your account details let my husband send the phone for you" She requested while Dean was shocked hearing her husband from her mouth.
"Thanks" Jeffrey ended the call and forwarded the doctor account details to her.
"Hi... I just forward the doctor's account details... it will be difficult if the money will be with me... And... that's why I sent the doctor account details... THANKS, Jenni... I appreciate" Jeffrey ended the call while smiling and deep down in him he was happy for playing a nice role.
"Take... this is the doctor's account details... please forward the money to him" He kept my hand hanging as Dean was staring at him.
"Wait... did you just call me your husband?" Dean continued to smile at her but she remained speechless as she forced her phone into Dean's hand.
"I have forwarded the money... you can call him and tell me that" Dean continued to blush as he got down from his vehicle. immediately, Jenni called Jeffrey and he picked up immediately.
"I have forwarded the money...please talk to your doctor and confirm it..." she commented as watched as Dean opened her door for her like a gentleman.
"Thanks" He ended the class and I slowly came down in confusion about what was going on.
Jennifer followed Dean into the new site where is building his next company and Jenni was surprised since he was unaware and shocked from keeping this a secret from his family.
As both of them glance around the environment, Jennifer got a video on her phone and she tried looking into the video herself but before the video started, it stated clearly that it should be watched with Dean by her side so she drew Dean closer to watch the video.
"Hello, lovely couple... I know both of you will be wondering who this is but it's not important at this time... I bring you good news to meet one of the kidnappers in charge of Jennifer... before I proceed... he's very corny and good-looking but his good-looking bring a lot of damage to people around him. Before he kidnapped Jennifer, he plans on spending the rest of her life with her but the rest of his colleagues refuse, and they all bargain to deal with Dean and this is how Dean falls for the trap and pays the ransom.
It's difficult to believe the person in charge of all of this is your very close friend... I'm exposing this because he cheated me on the deal in respect of the money shared and I decide to sell him out. It's good you now know the head of the kidnapper... The only evidence you'll have with him is his wallet where he stores all the sims involved in this operation...His name is Jeffrey and he has worked with you, Dean...
"Damn... is it not Jeffrey we sent one million dollars not quite long" Dean brought out his phone and called the head of Operations to track down the hospital Jennifer and his mum are currently in.
"Oops... I knew it... something felt fishy... how do I even fall for a trap like this...Fuck" Jennifer cried in tears and entered an uncompleted building where she shed tears.
"Hey... Okay... please rush to the hospital now and arrest the young man... he's the one who kidnapped Jennifer and now we have a clue that he's the one... please ever you are doing... leave it and rush to the hospital now" He ended the call while searching for Jennifer all over the premises but nowhere to be found.
The policeman rushed to the hospital and surrounded the hospital. Few men walk inside where they explain to the doctor what is going on, so the doctor leads them to Mr. Jeffrey.
"Hello, Mr. Jeffrey. please you'll have to follow us in our custody... you are under investigation for the kidnapping of Mrs. Jennifer... I'm sorry but you will have to follow us" The inspector brought out handcuffs from his back pocket and placed it on Jeffrey's hand when he was having fun with his mum.
"What did my son do... " his mum sat comfortably and cried out, wanting to leave the sickbed but the doctor refused.
"What is going on?" She continued to cry while Jeffrey was staring at her with tears in her eyes without saying a word.
The inspector took Jeffrey into their vehicles without him saying anything but with tears gathered in his eyes.
