When Zolabin returned from Las Vegas after cutting short his honeymoon, he was highly

infuriated with Jackson.

According to him, Jackson was becoming ” too soft” for his liking. He therefore gave him an ultimatum to recapture Rosaline but Jackson had a brilliant idea and after telling Zolabin about it, he agreed and told him to ensure that operation was successful.

It has been several hours since Jackson left Gina Ojukwu in the room with the excuse of going to his boss Zolabin.

When he left, Cassandra had a reflection of what went on between Jackson and her; The hot sizzling romance. She told herself she knew why she was always attracted to criminals. To her, criminals are perfect lovers.

Jackson was a real lover. He was indeed a maestro in bedmatics.

His handsomeness drove her so crazy. No one feature made Jackson so handsome, though his eyes came close. She couldn’t help but allowed the alluring features of his eyes to attract her though his whole being was almost flawlessly made.

She was sure it was his inherited genes that created the wonderful features for the man she was admiring.It made her want to feel his lips one more time but he was gone.

She remembered how his hands followed the curves of her body. She didn’t know him that much but the little experience she had with him could last me for a life time. Minutes by minutes she thought about how handsome he looked,

as if his soul shone through his skin.

Gina felt satisfied and happy. Just telling him the location of Cassadra and earning $2000?

But come to think of it. “These people were criminals,” she reasoned .

She hope they would not do anything to Cassandra.

She began to feel uncomfortable but decided to pushed the self recrimination thoughts out of her mind.

What was done was done. Jackson said he was called by his boss. She glanced at her watch. It was getting late. A little close to 9 O’clock p.m.

It was really getting late.

She called his phone but he didn’t pick her call.

She couldn’t leave too because his house was controlled by technology so without his physical presence,it’s difficult to manoeuvre her way through.

She saw something in Jackson’s room which surprised her though it needn’t be.

It’s like seeing a condom in a prostitute’s room and saying you are surprised. She knew Jackson was a criminal and seeing a gun in his room shouldn’t surprise her at all.

She was contemplating on those issues when she heard the sound of a car. She rushed to the window side and Peeped. The light outside was very clear as if it was day time .

Jackson got out of the car. He moved to the car boot and then brought out a lady.

“Oh, God,” Gina exclaimed as realisation dawned on her.

” She realised the $ 2000 was used to lure her to betray her friend.

She felt like modern day Judas Iscariot. She had betrayed her friend for $2000 dollars!!

Her intuition told her to take the gun and hide it in her bag because it may become useful and she did just that.

Then she rushed out to meet Jackson. When she got out, Cassandra saw her and was surprised. At first she thought she was kidnapped to but when Jackson said, Dear, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting ” she knew it was they were in a relationship.

Before Gina could utter a word, Jackson pulled Cassandra away but she ordered him, “Leave her alone, Please, she’s my colleague !!!!!”

Jackson ignored her plea and kept pushing Cassandra towards a cell. Cassandra casually looked at her and say, “God will punish you for betraying me to your _____”

She was finally pushed into the cell and the door banged.

Jackson was a happy man because “Operation Catch Cassandra” had been successful. He had gotten another feather in his cup. Zolabin praised him for coming out with such a brilliant idea but underneath that praise was a fountain of sorrow.

Zolabin’s Honeymoon had been turned into a bitter moon. Despite his momentary joy of capturing Mike’s Girlfriend Cassandra, his wife Cynthia was in grief. She was mourning the death of her brother Roberto who was killed by Rosaline in self defence.

Of course it is said that those who live by crime would die by crime.

Cynthia became bitter and in the midst of his bitterness, she blamed her husband Zolabin for the death of her brother for two reasons.

She said if her husband were not to depost her brother, he wouldn’t have ended in death. She also accused Zolabin for been in love secretly with his brother’s killer, Rosaline. Zolabin was quiet. He knew what his wife Cynthia said was true.

{Rosaline’s Viewpoint}

In Ghana

Behind the bush , I saw three of the robbers. They stopped behind the tree.

Then..hmmm…….A phone beep.

I turned round and realised it wasn’t my phone. I sighed. The Robber began talking , “Yes, Boss, we couldn’t find the girl,” said one of the robbers.

“Nooooo, ok. Boss. We will try.”

I tiptoe gently to a corner with another huge tree just close to the bush. It was covered with weeds.

I heard their footsteps getting more closer. I peeped through a small hole between the leaves and saw two of them holding guns.

They scanned through the bush in search of me. One of the robbers holding the gun started walking towards my direction. we were hiding. He moved closer and closer.

He raised the gun and pointed it towards my direction, the scariest thing in life is when you’ve seen your death and you can’t do anything about it.

I started to say my last prayer.

My heart stopped beating for a few seconds and came back , beating in quick succession. I breathed in and out but my lungs had suddenly tightened as if it was a crime to breath. Starved for air, my heart raced at tremendous speed and my shallow lungs rose and fail.

I opened my eyes and saw the gun still pointed towards my direction.

I was about to come out from my hiding place with my hands in the air when the thug changed his direction and shouted to his colleagues “Guy let’s go. We lost her.”

As if by miracle, they walked away.

I thought he saw me, not knowing he was just practicing how he will shoot me when he found me.

I watched them as they departed. Ten minutes later, I came out of my hide out. I bowed, holding my knees as I pant.

I don’t know where my soul will be landing if they were to catch me.

I’m sure even the grave would reject me when I was killed.

I was still confused of what just happened, why have they given up at a time I was cornered.

I followed the track from which I came from. Then I came out from the forest and there it was; our bus which was attacked by Armed Robbers. I moved towards it. No one seemed to be in sight.

I was just about to take another step when I heard a voice, ” Hei, stop Right there!!!
