Jessica’s pov
They were really trying hard for the peanuts they are given, too bad I wouldn’t allow it,
“Everyone of you shut the fuck up!!!”
The whole place became calm immediately, I took out the files and slammed it in the table in front of them, they flinched,
“Your clients are innocent?, haa, you want to let them off? Never not on my watch, as long as my husband is there fighting for his life, you are will rot in jail and I will make sure the whole world knows how evil you all are”
The leader took the files and went out and in the next few minutes, he came back with an arrest warrant,
“Arrest all of them, four people follow me to search their offices and houses, the rest arrest everyone listed here”
It was chaos all around the town, the media (my company included ) were all talking about it, the police swing into action immediately, I left after making sure Xavier lawyer will handle the rest perfectly, I went to the company, they have already prepared for the interview as I told them, the taxi driver was still outside waiting for me, he took me to the company and went to the company’s cafe to wait,
“Ma’am we are ready”
“Good, give me a minute ”
I went into the bathroom and made my hair messy, made my face look very tired, wary and in pain, I went into the interview room and sat down and it commenced,
“Welcome everyone to the Global live with Mrs McCartney, we all must have heard everything that happened now we will talk to her and hear the truth ”
“Thank….. You everyone for giving me this opportunity, am really grateful ”
“No problem Ma’am, so is it true that the Universe company is involved in what happened to Mr McCartney your husband?”
I wiped a tear from my eyes, making my voice as unsteady as possible I replied,
“You are right, the chairman of Universe company was involved in my husband’s condition, we… we were invited to their art auction on Friday and I saw a drawing I took interest in…. Sorry, am just so emotional right now”
“Don’t worry Mrs McCartney we understand, take your time”
“Thank you, ack, tha… nk you ”
“…….”
“So, I told my husband and he wanted to buy it but they were not on sale so we left and the next day during my husband’s launch party, I….. I… I was kidnapped, waaahhh, my husband tried to find me and then when he did, he….. he w…. was shot and now he is in a critical condition ”
“Wow, this is intense, we are sorry for making you experience this all over again, but how did you know the universe company was involved? Because if am correct you were rescued at the company roof of W&E company?”
“They were asking me what I know about the portrait, they also said that the chairman instructed them on what to do, they were responsible for that artist death, the poor girl…. waaah!, she was just trying to tell my husband what she saw but….. th…. they killed her”
“What is that if I may ask Mrs McCartney?”
“My husband, he has really suffered since was a toddler, they tried to kill him after killing his… his parents, the artist saw the person who killed his parents, it was the chairman of Universe Mr Marcus’s father”
I watched how the comments section blow up, and the views increased, I need to leave now to the hospital, I have kept Xavier waiting for too long, he might wake up and look for me and I wanted to be there,
“Mrs McCartney… this is really sad ”
“My husband is in the hospital battling for his life while the culprits are pleading not guilty, I need justice for my husband and his family, please everyone, waaahh, wahhaahh, sorry I need to go be with my husband now, he needs me”
“Okay Mrs McCartney ”
I stood up dizzily and wobbled outside, I went to the restroom and washed my face then I went outside and the taxi driver drove me back to the hospital, my bills were a six hundred dollars, I gave him that and a tip of two thousand dollars, I thanked him profusely, he made things easy by driving me around,
“How is my husband doing?”
I asked once I arrived, I have managed to do everything within an hour and few minutes, and Xavier isn’t out from surgery yet, they said there was no exist for the bullet and where it’s located is very dangerous, and they don’t know when they will be through,
This was nearly a breaking point for me, my head was banging from severe headache, my whole body was aching, I sat down but I didn’t allow tears to fell down my cheeks, I wouldn’t cry because he is alive, he will be fine so I won’t cry just then grandfather and my aunt entered,
“Oh my poor baby, you look exhausted, oh my dear”
My aunt said while hugging me, I almost broke down at the warmth but I held it in, I won’t cry, grandfather patted me on the shoulder and sat down,
“Am sorry grandfather, he was trying to save me, am so sorry ”
“AHH this child, why are you apologising, he did well, I would have blamed him if he didn’t save you, he did well and it isn’t your fault okay ”
“…….”
“Stop, he is fine, stand up, he is fine okay, but you need to rest before you break down too, I heard you fell from a big height, go rest”
“Am fine grandfather, am worried he might look for me when he wakes up and I won’t be there”
“Uhumm, what did they doctors say?”
“They said the bullet had no exist and it’s location in his body is dangerous but they will try, and I know Xavier he is a fighter ”
“Yes, he will be fine”
