Chapter 129 Sub 15

Something to prove!

Its really horrible to stay overnight in a place like this for the second time. I could remember the last time i stayed overnight, it was a unexplainable, i assumed my parents despised and now what should i think?! I'm a grown ass man, expecting rescue would be a waste of time, I reasoned.

Hours had gone by, i've seen no one. I reached for our family lawyer, Pharell. Its really ugly to be in a place like this, i sighed to calm down since i had been pacing back and front to get myself together.

The same cop that drove us here aproached the cell then unlocked the locks.

  "I guess you're lucky today, your part time saviour is here!" He chuckled with sarcasm

I was hand cuffed all the way to the interrogation room, that asylum. I sighted my lawyer from his back, Pharell. I sat as well exchanged faint smiles. The cop excused us instantly then he turned to me finally.

  "Good to see you son but i never imagined us to meet here, in this manner!" He began

  "Unfortunately for me! Do you actually think I'd rape or attempt murder?" I asked him

  "Informally, no, but logically, she claimed so and the law believes and would penalise such offenses." He Stopped. I asked a question and he gave ore than an answer. "Tell me everything you know and what you've got to do with Tiana Dawson." He requested

  "She's a..." I stuttered but then i cautioned myself that it wasn't a time to stutter. Stuttering about the whole truth actually got me to this stage, it had  a hand. "She was a lady i met with before i met my wife, Gia! We had a few nights of intimacy...just thrice and we separated." I stopped

  "What sort of relationship?"

  "A fling kind..just business...it wasn't something serious, it was only a normal thing bachelors do!" I defended 

  "I see! Then what?" He questioned again writing down some notes.

  "My wife told me about a friend who'd come for some business that would last for two werks and i affirmed to it but i had no idea that Tiana was the friend she talked about..." 

  "Did you tell your wife?"

  "No, I couldn't! I didn't find the right time." I turned away in guilt

  "Your family or friends?"

  "No one at all!"

  "Any threats?"

  "Hell, yeah!" That question pricked me "She threatened to tell Gia, my family and go out to the public...she threatened to hurt me real bad..."

  "Did you threaten her as well..i mean, it's a case of vengeance; you'd be retarded!" He stated

  "Like...i told her that she can do nothing..." I stopped

  "I get it! What really happened on that night she called the police?"

  "I returned home from the hospital then i asked Jane for a glass of whisky. I headed to my bedroom and minutes later, Tiana came in with a glass of whisky. The cologne she had on was like a sorta allergy, i was sneezing over and choking, she reached for the glass and i unconsciously drank it.. I felt drowsy, i sent her to the bathroom then i struggled to the door. She came out after she figured i tricked her, she threw vases at me and that was when i locked her in the room. I really don't what my offense is. All i did was try to save my life...she tried to seduce after drugging me...." I explained in the best way i could.

  "I've listened and understood but she stands a better chance at this, she had bruises..."

  "...That she faked..." I interrupted. I couldn't help it being defensive

  "Yes but you've got to understand that we need evidence against her to prove your innocence. Think of something..anything!" Pharell demanded

  "I really don't have one but..." I stated calmly

  "Jordan, i'd get to the bottom of this. I'd prove your innocence, i know so well that you would never do such a thing like that even if i know that people change up only when they're pushed to do so...most times." He assured

  "Thanks alot, this is a lot!" 

  "Sure I'd see you soon!" He stood up to leave taking his brief case then I asked

  "Uhm! Er! Er..Did my father or mother talk to you before coming?"

He stopped to reply

  "Oh no! Your sister called me up so i came through as soon as i could, good thing i hadn't left the city. Should i call them up..."

  "No! Not at all! They must be angry at me. Thanks again, Mr Pharell!"

  "I'd get to work immediately! Bye!" 

I watchrd Pharell storm out of the room, the cop came to perform his duties, cuffing abd taking me back to the cell.

Few hours on,

While i was sitting and brainstorming, the same cop interrupted.

  "Hey Cub, someone's here to see you. You seem to have good biddings in here...come on!" He beckoned at me with a smirk. "You've got thirty minutes though!" 

I was shocked to see Jeff sitting and waiting. We hugged, whether or not it was against the rules. We sat staring at each other, he had a lot to ask again then i broke the silence.

  "Ask me anything Jeff, I'd answer it!" I coldly inquired. He sighed heavily and proceeded.

  "The last time you asked for that, we ended up choking ourselves by the neck; so i wouldn't ask you any further questions." He added as we both smiled "You look better off in here, asshole, jail is yours baby." He teased, i couldn't submerge the smiles that followed. Seeing Jeff around brightened my day. Just a night, it feels like hell and i really don't know how long I'd be locked up in here.

  "How's Jeff? Is he fine?"i asked because I was really concerned.

  "Lamar is at his parents', they insisted. Your wild video actually made a mess and some repairs, Riley is thinking about returning to Lamar!" Jeff explained

  "That's thoughtful! Won't you ask about wgst happened? Tiana? The rape and attempted murder?" 

  "If you wanted to say something to me or Lamar then you'd not hesitate, would you?" He cautioned, he was getting infuriated already.

  "C'mon Jeff, i didn't know how to say it. Look man, i'm sorry; i thought i could handle it..." I added defensively

  "Of course you did, you had it all. You let a cheap ass treat you like some street punk? Just look at you Kareem, you are stuck in jail over some shit a girl like Tiana said and cooked up! You should've said something not shut your mouth, who would let a billionaire just go...Scot free? If you could fix Lamar's mess how come you can not fix yours?" Jeff cautioned almost yelling out loud

  "Bro! I really thought i had this..." I was trying to make him understand but he wouldn't let me

  "...thought you had this? Do you realize that you could never make it out if you've got no proof?"

  "Right! I was gonna tell you both, i was gonna telk everyone." I stopped rubbing my head "Jeff I'm lost for words, i'll  fix this shit!" I assured regardless

  "Well that's too late, Gia's up. She's awake. Howcare you gonna fix her?" He blurted then walked out on me. That was unbearable but i mellow instead.

Jeff was hurt and i understood why, he was concerned as well as my family i assumed.

A day later,

I had to endure another day of emotional torture. Jeff mentioned that my wife had regained consciousness but i felt he said that to hurt me or perhaps out of anger. After i had discussed with the investigator, Chris, i had to explain and narrate the whole story to him to support his investigation. I was perturbed. I was treated like the criminal i was painted to be yet all i wished for was to be out of police custody and back to my wife, Gianna. I was told that someone had come to see me and i suspected that person to be a family member or friend . it was Jane. 

   "Sir Jordan, i really feel bad about this!" She began "You shouldn't suffer for a crime you didn't commit. You'd never do such a thing.." She blurted out confidently. I felt some sort of confidence too, Jane was someone who loved and appreciated her job yet loved the people around it. I didn't expect my employee to come around no but she did regardless.

  "Thanks for the trust bout there's no way i can tell and prove to the whole world that i would never rape a woman not attempt to kill her."

  "Yes sir! And do you know what makes it worse? She's out in public making the situation worse. She's told alot of people, even your family that you raped her and got her brutally bruised, everyone seems to show some affection and compassion over her pretence." Jane stopped as a tear rolled down her cheek, i was moved at her concern for me "Is there anything i can do to help? Just anything?" She asked calmly. I smiled faintly

  "You, coming around is enough comfort and kindness from you Jane. You should go home and rest, right?"

  "I'm sorry to disrespect you but no!" She replied defiantly while my face squeezed a bit in disbelief "I want to help in the littlest way i can. I was cleaning the kitchen yesterday then i decided to empty the trash can, i found something really disturbing..."

 "Which is?" I was interested to hear it like i didn't ask her to leave earlier.

  "I found a syringe that had a few drops of some liquid in it, i was shocked to see a thing like that in the kitchen knowing fully well that i  wouldn't dare to use such object around the kitchen and definitely not the others..." She said

  "So what are you implying?"

  "That msy/nhave drugged you with that syringe, I'm certain. You instructed me to serve you some whisky and while I was serving it she said that she'd take it instead, she wanted to talk to you about madam

 Gia...this could help, Sir!" She stopped trying to persuade me. I looked and back to her again, she had a point.

  "This is alot Jane, thank you! Where's the syringe?" I asked

  "I hid it instead, i figured it might be useful!" She added

  "Great!" I snapped. I gave her the name of my lawyer and his email address so that she could reach him after our conversation. "Do it, immediately. Thanks again!"

  "Anytime, Sir! You don't deserve prison, never would you ever! Especially now that madam had regained consciousness." She added excitedly

  "My wife's alive....like she's awake?" I asked for clarification, i tilted my head towards hers a bit

  "Yes Sir, you...you didn't know?" She asked in shock

  "Apparently! No one has told me, its crazy! Anyways, do as i say ok, if you really want your boss back home!" I teased. My ego really knows how to take charge, even in Prison? I muttered within. She smiled.

  "Definitely sir! I'll take care of my Madam too! Keep faith." She walked away briskly and i was returned to the cell.

What Jane had arrested to me was a big head start to finally get out and if there was no evidence tiana could provide agsjnst me, then I'm a total free man who got his time wasted in the police station.

I really didn't take Jeff's words into consideration, i assumed he wanted to get me over the edge. If Jane could utter the same thing then there's some truth in it, they wouldn't conspire to lie yo me, that would be total absurdity. I still wondered why no one has come to see me nor ask me what happened earlier, it's devastating.
