Chapter 89

Mrs. Jane pov
Damn... I have lost a lot... doing evil is bad and there's nothing compared to home... I could have been serving prison now... but look at my life... turned around because of a random guy I choose to love...
I need to change my ways.. what if I become a free man... will I be able to look the dean in the eyes... after everything I have done to him?
My life is already messed up from the day I flew out of this country... if only I serve my prison... by now I'll be out...
look at Jeffrey... a low guy... now he's out of the prison and I'm here sleeping from place to place...
Now I know that the people I have aren't worth calling my friend... they only want to be around me because of money... it's not bad anyway... I have the money but won't they help me when I need their help... I can remember how I helped them in their struggle, and now look at me... they are giving me space because I did a terrible thing in the past.
just two days that I came back... my life is messy... damn... I need my business back... I don't want it to be controlled by a random person... it's unfair...
How can someone take my business just like that... if only I have the gut to walk up to him... I swear... he must give me an account of every detail he spends...
He didn't even bother to look for me... Lord... please don't bring my business into a pitfall... I begged you...
Since yesterday, I haven't eaten a damn food... if not for the water Jeffrey bought for me... I guess I must have fainted by now...
Damn! I have the money again... but too scared to walk into the restaurant...
My body is so weak... I can't carry my leg but I barely walk...This house I'm staying in is not even mine... someone might come in anytime and take it from me...
" Why do I have to live so low like this?" She sat on the floor with her two hands across her head.
What do I do now? Should I call someone if he can help me again... do I need to put my hope on Jeffrey...
He's not trustworthy... or is he trying to collect my money as a payback for what I did to him?
Damn... I can't even think straight... I just gave him the money as if it was not important to me...
How will he even help me... someone, who doesn't know anyone except Dean...
fine... if he agreed to tell Dean... I'm sure... Dean won't have me released... he'll want me to suffer a bit before thinking of what to do to me...
"Ummm... I can't suffer to be in prison" Tears began to drip from her eyes.
Should I call Jeffrey now and ask him to return my money... he can't help me... Damn... I just made a big mistake for calling him in the first place... or should I contact Dean myself...
She slowly brought out her phone while staring at Dean's number but was tempted to call him.
Shortly, after staring at it, she dialed the number... with full confidence.
Dean picked up the call but she didn't say a word to him... she just wanted to clarify that Dean was still alive and indeed he's...
Dean couldn't capture who called him because she placed her phone on a private number... And that was why Dean kept saying hello without an answer.
Holy shit! He's alive... I guess he's doing great now... should I walk straight to his office? No... Dean won't tolerate that and I'll be handcuffed in seconds...
What should I do that... Damn... my stomach hurts...
"Ouch..." She stood up quietly as she forced herself to leave the house but immediately, as she opened the door, the owner of the house was about to enter.
"My house... What are you doing here?" The lady yelled at her but while seeing her holding her stomach she quickly rushed in and closed the door.
"I'm sorry ma'am...I was about to leave" Jane echoed as she fell to the floor...
The lady went into the kitchen and searched for the remaining noodles she cooked...
She started cooking... and in less than 14 minutes, she placed the hot food on the dining table.
She helps Jane stand up and walks straight to the dining room.
"What happened," The lady asked but Mrs. Jane was in no position to answer...
She kept on eating like an angry beast while the lady kept staring at her face...
She even drew her face close and tried to recognize this woman... it seems she has seen her somewhere
Shortly she went to her room and brought out a picture of the wanted criminal...
"Oops... she's wanted... such a beautiful girl..." She feels sorry for her...as she continues to stare at the book...
"2 Million... damn... cash prize... if found... this will be enough for me..." She uses her phone and texts the phone number on the paper, telling them the address and location.
She begged them not to come in serene so she wouldn't notice... and they should come as fast as possible... she'll try to keep her busy.
After texting her... she heard back from the dining and was shocked to see that the lady had already finished the bowl of noodles.
"Oops... you didn't leave a dine for me and this was my only food for tonight" The lady complained while joining her in the dining room.
"I'm sorry ma'am...I haven't eaten since yesterday... I'm sorry ma'am..." she kept bowling her head on the woman.
"Why were you sleeping here... didn't you have a house to go... or did something happen to you on the way?" The lady continued to stare at her and make sure that she contacted the right people.
"Something happened ma'am... but don't worry... I'll leave soon... I promised..." she stood up and stretched her body... indeed she has fully regained her true strength.
"Oops... I don't have any money with me... I'm sorry" As Mrs. Jane opened the door... the cops were surrounded as she was told to lift her hand...
She did that quietly as tears rolled down her eyes from being betrayed by the woman.
"I'm sorry... I needed that cash to start a living" The woman pleaded with her...
"Where is my money..." She yelled after taking the lady into their van but nobody seemed to answer her...
"Where is my money... where is the manager here..." She yelled running towards the cops but they kept pushing her away...
"I need my money..." She kept on hitting on the cops with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry ma'am... There is no cash prize for this woman... the cash prize was for the man in the other picture..." The cops pleaded with her to let them go but the old woman kept nagging at him.
"It's a lie... I saw it with my two eyes... 2 million dollars... I saw it... give me my money" she kept nagging at him but the cops had no option but to push her away while they drove off.
"Poor woman... you sold me out and got nothing in return" Mrs hand murmured to herself and watched as the woman sat on the floor while sobbing.
After a few minutes, she heads back into her house, after being betrayed by the cops.
She heads back to the paper where she remembers the lady's face...
She looked at it... and it was indeed the woman... While staring at the pictures... She tried to find the cash prize but didn't see anything.
" How come... I saw this here..." She murmured to herself while staring at the paper, looking for the cash prize... she turned the back of the paper... yet, she didn't see any...
"Damn... it's not here... it's on the man who wanted life... I've messed up by selling that lady to the cops... Damn" she dropped the paper on her bed... while holding her head...
She started crying in frustration after putting her hope on the 2 million dollars to start a life with...
"My life is incomplete... Now I'm screwed... how'll I continue to live my life right now... I'm sorry... little lady..." She cried... as she slept off in her bed.

"Hi... sorry... I've been busy..."Jeffrey rushed into the house and saw that Dean's mum was sleeping in the chair.
She didn't hear what he said... because she was deeply asleep.
"Mum! Please wake up..." Jeffrey tapped her and she responded with her tired face.
"What's it... now..." She grumbled as she stood up while walking straight to the dining table...
"We have an unfinished discussion... remember you told me that there is money worth $300 million in that safe... so... how do you want me to do this" Immediately as I called the amount, she became serious as she stared at me.
"What do you mean? It's my money... " She grumbles, trying to take it all for herself.
"It's also my father's money... do you think I'm too dumb to give you all of it... c'mon... aren't you scared that I'll tell the cops how you make this money with the recording?" I brought out my cell phone while showing her a recording but I didn't play it.
"Damn.. you even record... me... Fine... what do you want me to do... right now... I'm confused..." She responded with a changed tune.
"Don't worry... I'll let you know... and besides...I have a favor to ask you... please.... after this favor... I won't ask you for anything... you know... I know I've offended you... but please do this favor for me" my two hands joined together as I was begging her for a favor.
"You know... sometimes... despite what we go through... we still have to forgive those who are willing to ask for forgiveness..." While I was lecturing her, a call came on her cell phone...
It was a number so we can't be certain who called her...
" aren't you picking up your calls?" I questioned her as both of us kept staring at our cellphone.
"You were saying something... I don't pick a strange number..." She replied and silenced the phone with her left hand.
"What if it's important," he asked but she hisses in reply.
"Never mind though... I'm saying that... there is this favor I want to ask for you... It's a difficult one and that's the reason I won't ask anything from you anymore... I promised... the thing is that..." I tried explaining again while the same number kept on calling her and it interrupted me.
"Pick it up..." I ordered and she held the phone in her hand while just staring at it.
"I don't like picking strange numbers" she complained and picked up the call but placed it on the loudspeaker while she placed the phone on the table.
"Please speak up... I'm in a meeting and you are interrupting me" She yelled at whomever voice will come out of the cell phone.
"Hello, ma'am. I'm calling from the district headquarters and we are here to..." she interrupt them immediately as she heard that it's was the station
"Did my son do something wrong? What's happening... talk to me... what did I do this time" she panicked, staring at me while I remained silent trying to know what was going on.
"No ma'am... everything is fine ma'am... I'm calling you to let you know that the lady involved in your son's wife's kidnapping has been captured a few hours ago... and she's in our custody now... you can come to see her at your convenience... We look forward to working with you ma'am..." The person ended the call while I stared at Dean's mum in anxiety.
"Damn... It's a lie... this can't be happening... Howu come? I don't believe this" Jeffrey stood up panicked with his hands on his head while he keeps roaming around the sitting room
