Chapter 72

Alex POV:

I was about to sign the documents when I suddenly stopped and kicked the table, sending the gun and papers flying. I caught the gun and pointed it at Jerul. "Alex, we could talk nicely," Jerul said, but I cut him off. "Shut your mouth or I'll shoot it. Put your guns down or I won't hesitate to blow your boss's head off." They dropped their guns, and I ordered Jerul to come to me. I checked his body and removed the small knife and gun.

The police immediately arrived and handcuffed all the men. "Sorry, Jerul. You didn't win this time. See you in court." I told them to take him away, or I would turn into an officer and kill him myself. They quickly complied, and I informed them that there was one person remaining - Franklin. He was arrested, and all were taken to the station.

I went home, where my wife and Jack were waiting for me. We hugged, and I decided to reward those who had stood by me. It was a family reunion. I was shocked when Jack told me they had escaped alone without the help of my men. Jen confirmed it, and I decided to reward him by giving him two months off. He was overjoyed and hugged me. I took my little baby in my arms and smiled.

We didn't tell anyone about what had happened to us, not wanting to worry them. Families and friends came to visit us, congratulating us on our baby. My mom scolded me for not telling her Jen was pregnant, but we just laughed and accepted the many gifts they brought.

The courtroom was filled to capacity as Jerul stood trial for his heinous crimes. The air was thick with tension as the prosecutor presented the case against him.

"So, Jerul, you are accused of killing Tina, kidnapping my wife, baby, and Jack, and selling illegal drugs to sustain your account. How do you plead?" the judge asked, his voice firm and authoritative.

Jerul sneered, showing no remorse. "Not guilty," he spat.

The prosecutor presented evidence, including testimony from Jack and Jen, as well as documentation of Jerul's illegal activities. The defense tried to poke holes in the case, but it was clear that Jerul was guilty.

Finally, the judge delivered the verdict. "Jerul, you have been found guilty on all counts. Your punishment is death, and your company will be shut down. You will also pay restitution to the victims and their families."

Jerul's face turned red with rage as he was led away in handcuffs. I felt a sense of satisfaction, knowing that justice had been served.

As we left the courtroom, Jack turned to me and said, "Thanks, Alex. I'm glad he got what was coming to him."

I nodded, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Me too, Jack. Me too."

We walked out of the courtroom, ready to start our new life, free from the shadows of Jerul's evil deeds.

After that, we had a happy life. We had three kids - Daros, Fred, and Stella - and Jack was happy to have someone to look after, teach, and play with.

******************

My three grandchildren, "Grandma is here!" Mom exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. The three small toddlers squealed with delight, "Grandma is hereeeeee!" they chimed in unison, running to meet her with open arms.

"Mom, I think it's high time you take the kids on holiday with you, so Jen and I can have some private time," Alex said, his voice calm and collected.

"Alex, stop it," Jenny said, playfully rolling her eyes and hugging him. "You two can go and do whatever you want, I'll watch over the kids and don't worry, I'll take them with me," Mom reassured them.

"Thanks, Mom," Alex said, smiling and leaving with Jen.

Tasha had gotten married to her Mr. Raymond, a manager at the prestigious Zuric Bank, and they had two kids together. The bond between Tasha and Jenny grew closer, and they would often spend hours talking and laughing together.

And lastly, Jen's Dad got to play with his grandchildren and cook delicious food for them. Aunty Cathy, Cindy, and Grandma got to spend quality time with the children, spoiling them with love and attention.

The little kids were surrounded by love from their parents, grandparents, and friends of the parents. Happiness and peace, that's all Alex had ever wished for, and now he finally had it.

As they sat on the beach, watching the sunset, Alex turned to Jen and said, "You know, I never thought I'd find happiness again, but here we are, surrounded by our loved ones."

Jen smiled and took his hand, "We've been through a lot, but we made it through together."

And as the sun dipped below the horizon, they knew that their love would last a lifetime.
