Falling For Innocence - Episode 23

Sarah:

Its been more than two hours since i left that coffee shop

heartbroken. I still can't wrap my head over the fact that Jake is a

father and he plans to get back together with his baby mama. What is

more heartbreaking is that he told his baby mama about us. A fling.

That's what she said he called what we have. He told her I have a

little crush on him. The first thought I had when I left that place

was to pack my things and go lounge in an hotel for the remaining two

weeks of my community service in orphanage. I didn't want to live in

the same house with him anymore. I had already packed all my things but

my heart keep telling me to hear from him first. I know I should

follow my head which is always wise but I can't bring myself to leave

without looking into his eyes when he breaks my heart. I want to hear

it from him that he's getting back with that woman. Our relationship

has been doomed from the start because of the fact that our parents

are getting married but it still hurt as hell for it to end like this.

I've sent him a text asking him to come home so we can talk and its

being almost an hour but i haven't gotten even a call from him. I tell

myself to be patient. Maybe he can't leave his daughter right now. Or

maybe he is busy smooching with that woman.

I shake my head at that thought. I dont want to hurt my self with

visuals of the both of them together. Maybe i should just leave

without talking to him. He should be here by now if he really wants to

be here. I grab my suitcase and roll it towards the door. I stop when

my phone vibrate in my pocket and bring it out to see an incoming text

from an unknown number. Curiously, I click on it.

Unknown number- i have found information about your mother. Enter the

taxi you'll see at the entrance of your house and it will take you to

where i am. Don't worry, Jake is also here.

P.s. Am the private investigator

Jake found information about my mom? Why didn't he text me instead? I

dial his number to find out it's switched off. No wonder he asked the

private investigator to text me. I leave my suitcase by the door and

walk out of the house to find the taxi. I can't just go into that taxi

like that. This could be a prank and i could get kidnapped. I roll my

eyes at my thinking. who would want to kidnap me? Too much action

movies have gotten to my head. The taxi driver get out of the taxi and

open the back seat door.

"miss Sarah? Amelia's daughter right?" he ask and i nod.

"okay. Get in." he continues. Something tells me to call the unknown

number so that i can confirm that Jake sent them. I bring my phone out

to dial but the taxi man grab my phone.

"what are you doing? I have to confirm something!" i yell at him.

"am sorry but you can't" he says

"why not?" i ask but he shrug. Something is suspicious.

"I'm not getting in" i say and start walking away. The taxi driver grab

my shoulder then throw me over his shoulder. I scream and kick but no

one is around the neighbourhood. He deposit me in the backseat then

cover my nose with a white handkerchief which takes consciousness away

from me.

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

Jake:

"ah! You are here. I knew you would come when i sent you that text.

Always so stubborn."my dad is saying to Hannah. He is sitting on a

plastic chair in the middle of the spacious room. Hannah has a gun

pointed in his direction but he doesn't seem fazed by this.

"You killed my mother you piece of garbage!" Hannah spit out and my father laugh.

"Am sorry for the mix up. You were actually the target but your mother

wanted to play hero. You should have known better than to go against

me. I told you not to tell Jake about my involvement in your kidnap

but your obsession with my son Made you confess everything." he tells

her.

"How could you be so cruel? Do you even realise that you made two

brothers kill each other? Jake's brother had to kill my brother

because of your sick plan! Doesn't it bother you that they were both

your sons?" she sob out, her hand shaking violently. Hannah's brother

was my father's son? Does that make Hannah and i siblings? How sick is

all this?

"sick plan? I just wanted my share of the money my son has. Afterall

as his father am entitled to a share right?" he ask and i gasp in

horror. When did my father become this evil? Did i hit my head

somewhere and now am having an absurd dream? I brush my palm over my

eyes but the scene is still happening before me.

"You should have just asked him directly not mess with everybody's

lives" Hannah sob out. She is now closer to my father with her gun

against his temple.

"Well i could have, but his mother threatened to tell the police about

my business which would be quite unfortunate. All those girls i

prostitute need the money and all my clients need the girls."

prostitute? So my dad is a pimp? He sell girls for money. Oh my God

and mother knew about this.

"enough of the chitchat Hannah. Drop the freaking gun. You are getting

on my nerves" my father grind out.

"You must be crazy if you think i am walking out of here without your

brain plastered to these walls" Hannah tell him

"pull the trigger then. What are you waiting for? You can't, can you?

Let me just make this known. This place is wired with c4 explosives so

if you so much as pull that trigger, I'll blow this place up with the

both of us inside. Now, I'll tell you for the last time. Drop the gun

Hannah" i watch as Hannah nervously throw the gun on the floor.

"Good girl, now kneel. You knew you had to die the moment you told him

about me right?" my dad ask her then stand up. He brush his knuckle

across her cheek and grin.

"Such a shame. I have always wondered how sweet you would taste. My

son was hooked on that for years so it must be phenomenal" he says. I

can't take this anymore. I have to do something. Maybe cause a

distraction. The sound of a phone ringing break my thought and i watch

as my father says something into his phone. His demeanor changes as he

ends the call.

"Come out Jake. I know you are out there" he says
