Chapter 77
Max was already at the police station and in a twinkle of an eye, there were many reporters from different television channels together with their cameras wanting to have a one-on-one with him. Forcing their way as the police officers held them back, Max’s right-hand man was very mad at the situation as Max had become his second father. He had always treated him like his own son though he never had children and that alone was very touching to him.
Zane looked at the unrest that was outside and his blood boiled inside his skin. Veering around his head and sees Georgia coming in with Simone and his teeth ground in his mouth. Georgia was bent on making Max confess to his sins and telling her where her friend was if not she was going to sound his illegal dealings to the whole world.
Her mother was in her office when her friend and colleague walked into her space panting as though someone was chasing her just to tell Georgia’s mom to switch on her television and watch what was going on there.
“What is it Vivianne?” she asked in panic before grabbing the TV remote to switch on her television. Seeing her daughter on TV, she rose to her feet as the environment was a place where she was not expecting to see her there.
Wondering what Georgia was doing in a police station, she turned to her friend saying,
“I have to get to this station what is going on with my daughter and why is she in a police station?” she asked her friend in a mad rage but her friend asked her to look well as she did not understand that it was not Georgia who was in trouble, she paused for a minute to understand what she meant by that.
“Georgia had sued one of the most influential men in the country and she claims that he is keeping her friend and no one has seen her for weeks,” she narrated. Her words drew her attention to the screen and that was when she saw Max in handcuffs.
“What?!” she exclaimed seeing the gravity of what her daughter was putting herself into. Her hands trembled and her lips could not speak further the fear that had settled inside her heart.
Her eyes were wide open and asking herself why she had such a stubborn daughter, her friend interrupted her question when she asked what was going on.
“Are you having a problem in your family Yvonne?” she called out but Georgia’s mother making her way out of the office in a hurry, remembered that she had not picked up her car keys so she ran back inside to get her keys. With her heart pumping inside her chest, Yvonne ran out of the building heading to the parking lot to get her car.
She knew the kind of man Max was so she did not want her family to be involved with his madness. Starting the engine of her car, she drove off like a hysterical woman in the direction of the prison.
“Welcome bro,” Blaze’s attorney spoke outstretching his hand to him.
“Thank you, man,” Blaze responded shaking his hand and turning his gaze to Crystal with a smile. Freddy looked at Crystal and he was wowed by her beauty. Her innocent face and captivating lips were what attracted everyone to her and he found it difficult to close his mouth.
“You might swallow a fly if your mouth stays this open for some more time,” Blaze teased him and Freddy laughed out horribly. Stretching his hand to Crystal, he asked Blaze whether that was his client and he nodded while adding,
“She is also my woman,” Blaze snatched the words from his mouth before he could say anything further.
“Nice to meet you Barrister…,” she paused for a while noticing that she had not taken his name and Freddy responded with a disappointed smile on his face saying,
“Freddy Duncan.”
“I am Crystal Melody Taylor, and it is my pleasure to meet you, I hope that we will get along well,” she said.
Freddy asked them to please have their seats and his stare was on Blaze the whole time. He has always known him to be a bad boy who flirts with the heart of women but never could he have imagined that, the client he was waiting for was his woman.
That could only mean one thing which was that Blaze loved her. Noticing that Freddy could not stop staring at Crystal, Blaze let out a smile as if it was normal, she was a very beautiful lady that no man in his right senses could resist. But having the full confidence that she was his woman, he was playing with that knowing that Crystal was different from what she looked like.
“So let us begin, I need all the details you can remember Ms. Crystal because my client here, has already explained some parts of your problems to me over the phone,” he spoke out in a friendly but professional voice to make Crystal feel comfortable.
“Do you have anything to say concerning what Ms? Georgia Eyong is accusing you of?” the officer asked getting ready to write his statement but Max following strictly what his Attorney had told him to do, said that he was not going to respond to any of their questions unless his lawyer was around.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
The officer saw that he was playing tough so he turned his gaze to Georgia and Simon knew that they had no other choice but to wait for his attorney. Maxwell was tightening his grip under the table that he was sitting on but his eyes ran through Georgia’s face thinking of how he was going to deal with her after he must have been released from where he was sitting. His lawyer had arrived at the prison at the same time as Georgia’s mom.
“Excuse me, officer, my daughter is here please where is she?” Mrs. Yvonne asked in a panic wanting to know where her daughter was, in fear for her life ignoring that they were at the police station. The officer asked what her daughter’s name was and she responded quickly.
