Chapter two
Jesse p.o.v
The guards already took him to the hospital
My tears dropped.
Isn't his life a pain already, why should anyone want to kill him?
Ever since his childhood,he had always been attacked by assassins and even now, they still want his life
I wonder what crime he did to deserve this life.
My face was full with tears.
I angrily walked into the museum.
Nobody was there, all the tourists left.
The guards already held the lady.
I walked to them and slapped her
The guards held her well
I took a gun from the guards and lay it on her head
" You ungrateful, what did he do to deserve this, tell me, what?! " I shouted in pain
She looked at me
" I. didn't kill Him...." she said and I laughed.
" You really want me to believe that, huh...... tell me what you were offered, money, houses, gold, just tell me Maya , tell me!!! "I screamed in tears
" Do you even know who he is?........." I stopped, dropping the gun to the floor
" Finally I get it ,the puzzle is fitting in, so you came here just to do this,you planned everything,framing as a painter so you could just kill him after helping him win many investors with your talent, I mean whoever stare at your painting would be in awe of how talented you are not knowing you hide a demon underneath.." I said pained
She kept quiet
I angrily punched her.
" Say something you bitch.. I screamed
She slowly looked up
" I don't want to hurt you, I said I didn't touch him,I didn't even know he was the CEO!!." she almost shouted
" Hurt me?? You mean kill me like you did to him." I shouted to her face.
Just then my phone rang
It was from the CEO's personal guard
I picked it
" How is him, is he alright, can I talk to him, is he okay?." I said,my eyes open.
" you can rest now miss Jesse,the CEO is safe and recovering well." He said and I let out a hot breath
" ah, thank you Lord" I breathed and stared at Maya,I saw something flash in her eyes.
" did the doctor said he was stabbed or what" I asked
" The doctor said that he was poisoned, he called it a name but I can't remember,he said it was a powerful poison that took exactly two hours before reaction..." He said and my eyes widened.
" Wait, that mean he had been poisoned before even coming to the museum.."
" Exactly , maybe what he ate or drank must have contained the poison, I have dispatched teams to the mansion to hold every single person down till we find the culprit" he said and I swallowed nothing.
" Ok, thanks,bye" I said and dropped the phone.
So it wasn't Maya.
Then who? Who could it be?
I slowly turned to her,her eyes were on the floor.
I didn't even know what to say.
I felt sorry
" Leave her" I said and the guards dropped her,she fell to the floor.
I bent to her
" Uhm Maya, am terribly sorry for what just happened, I really didn't know what I was doing then..... I was stupid not to believe you, I got terribly blinded with grief I didn't know what I was doing, please am sorry " I said feeling bad.
She slowly smiled making me shiver.
She then stood up and quietly walked away
I felt sad.
" Maya, Maya! .... Am sorryy " I said and rushed out.
The guards followed
I ran into the car and hurried to the mansion.
Soon we arrived and I got down.
The guards already surrounded the mansion and the maids and cleaners lined before me.
I coughed and looked at everyone of them before walking in....
Am sure one of them is the culprit
I walked in and to the table
The glass was still on the table and I silently bent to it.
Wait, the juice...this could be the answer,could it be that the juice was poisoned
I got up and rushed out
" who served the CEO this morning?." I asked and they all looked at each other.
A girl raised her hand.
Good.
She stepped out
" ma, it was Ella." She said, fear in her eyes.
" Ella. Who's Ella?.." I asked
" the new girl, she was admitted here yesterday" she said.
I faced the chief guard.
" what!... on who's order, who brought her in." I asked in a haste
"Have you forgotten, it's you miss Jesse, she came with a document stating she should be brought in and your signature was on it.." He said and I almost fell.
" wait, wait...." I said thinking.
" S**t!, it was fake, I didn't sign any document, It was orchestrated, i didn't know anyone was marked in yesterday, where's she.....S**t! Find her!!!" I said and the soldiers hurried around..
" you, get the juice inside tested and see if traces of poison can be found" I said and another soldier ran in.
" you, follow me"
I rushed into the house and ran into the control room with the chief guard
They bowed on seeing me.
" guys, show me any footage we have of this Ella, her entries, movements and exits and also what she have done since her last 24 hours in the mansion." I said and we all faced the computer
" show me anything you manged to find on her! " I said again
" Miss, I got something." One said and I rushed over.
I face the screen.
It was a video of her on mask sneaking outside the mansion behind the gate.
" check other footage and see what other things you can find" I said and he turned to me
" nothing miss, have checked everything" he said.
" how did this happen." I said as I faced the chief guard
" how did she get away, I mean how did she even plan all this, we have no clue who she is, where she's from, who sent her, no hand or footprint,it's like she was never here ." I said looking at them.
" and the big question is- " one of the soldier ran in.
" " we found this ma, the maids claimed it belongs to her." He handed it to me
I collected the wristband from him and started at it.
“ B4 ” was clearly written on it.
I turned to them
" scan the net for any information on B4, anything you can't find now! " I shouted and they started typing.
Jason p.o.v
I slowly opened my eyes and sat up.
I looked up and smiled in pain
Am here again
One of the guards ran to me
" are you okay sir." He bent to me.
I turned to him
" where's Jesse " I said quietly and looked around
" she's not here sir, she's currently working on finding the culprit who poisoned you sir, she ordered us to stand watch here sir" he said and I managed to smile.
" just like the last time.." I smiled.
" sir! " he said, I turned
I nodded for him to leave and he left.
I tried standing
I felt so much pain that I fell back to the bed.
The soldiers ran to me.
" sir!!! "
" am fine,it's alright " I said and they slowly walked back.
I sat well.
Am tired, so tired.
Throughout my whole life,I never felt safe.
it has always been like that.
Running from assassins and escaping death has been my life.
I wonder who is really behind this death threats.
I smiled.
I don't even know who I am
The doctor walked in and I turned to him.
On seeing me, he smiled.
" hey mr Brandon, you're up " he smiled and walked over.
I smiled back.
I tried taking my phone on the bedside but my hands were not moving.
I tried again
" doc, what's happening to me, why can't I feel my hand. " I said in shock.
He rushed to me
" you have to calm down, Mr Brandon, the tests we conducted shows that the poison contained a powerful, strong toxin which has attacked your nervous system, mostly the primary cortex motor in your brain, therefore temporarily causing a paralysis in your right hand... It's fine, it's just temporary" he said.
My heart was hitting my chest but I managed to smile
" so I can't use this arm again.."
" no, it's just for a while, a month or two with therapy and you are fine, you are going to suspend your drawings and business till then, am sorry Jason.." He said looked down.
I stared at my arm quietly,I tried lifting it again but nothing happened.
I felt my tears drop.
