He picked his call and his words were….

Vanessa, Campbell is, he was shot!” He said and my phone slipped from my hands, I blinked my eyelids in utter disbelief.

Campbell was shot, I couldn’t grab hold of his words or what happened.

My baby was shot, by whom?

The police barged in and I gave a sigh of relief, I actually thought I was going to die by her hands, well, till the police men handcuffed us both and threw her into the van while I was attended to by the medical team.

But wait a second, why am I handcuffed? Does it mean I have been arrested.

No, no, no!!! This can’t be, Faith, Vanessa that family has finally ruined me.

This is the end?

Right after I heard Joe’s word I drove straight to the hospital with great fear, who could have shot my son.

I was taken into his ward where I met Joe sitting closely by his side.

“Vanessa!” He called my name at first glance.

“Joe, what on earth happened?” I asked and walked towards him.

“Don’t worry too much, it was just a graze he will be fine.” He said and my heart heave a sigh of relief.

“My baby.” I whimpered moving closer to him.

“Don’t wake him the doctor said he needs some rest because of the shock.” He said.

It was clearly obvious that he was worried the look on his face shows it too.

“Am just confused who could have done this.” I asked Joe who seems lost in thought.

“I don’t know, it just happened so fast, we have reported this to the police and they said they will be back for more investigation. ” He stated scratching his back which was sweaty and his clothes smeared with blood.

“This seems off, there’s definitely more to it.” I said suspiciously.

“I know too, let’s wait and hear from the police first.” He said and hugged me.

Thank God my baby is alive!

The following morning, I woke up to find Joe by Campbell’s side looking so worried and my foster mom who has heard the news make her entrance into the ward.

“Oh my God, Vanessa is he alright.” She asked showing some affections.

“The doctor said he will be ok.” I replied and sighed.

Minutes later the police men came in with the doctor to ask some questions.

“Good day sir.” The police man asked facing Joe’s direction.

“I hope you have good news.” Joe replied.

“Yes sir, the culprit has been arrested, he’s Thomas Jefferson.” He said and my thoughts went wild.

Thomas? Why would he shot the son he claims to own.

“Did you just say Thomas Jefferson?!” We all chorused.

“Yes, why? Do you have something that might help this investigation.” He asked and yes am more determined to send that bastard to jail.

“Yes I do, infact I have more than enough, Thomas Jefferson is a rapist and I have evidence.” I responded.

“Did you just call him a rapist?” He asked surprised.

(In the interrogation room where Thomas is been questioned)

“I will ask once again why did you shoot him.” The investigator asked and slammed his hand on the desƙ but no response came from Thomas, he was being obstinate.

“I see, well just so you know you are definitely rotting in jail, you attempted murder and even committed rape.” He said and Thomas looked up at him seems like he has finally gotten his attention.

“What did you say, rape?” He asked eagerly.

“Yes, the victim confessed everything and there’s evidence to this your despicable acts, a recording was given to us where you confessed everything.” He said, referring to Jessica’s recording .

“No, this can’t be, that bitch! How dare she report me.” He said feeling no ounce of guilt.

“What to do because I will make sure you rot in jail and pay for your sins.” The officer said and walked out of the room.

(In the interrogation room where Faith is been interrogated)

“So you confess to your crimes, you are an accomplice to rape and even tried to attempt kidnapping” the investigator asked and she nodded in agreement.

“Am so filled with nothing but regret, all I have ever wanted will lead me to my doom, it was all because of Jealousy, I wanted something that wasn’t mine, I just hope she forgives and forget, I wish her a happy life.” She said shedding tears.

“It’s such a pity.” The investigator said and exited the room.

It all started with this evil intent and jealousy, a devilish plan and an evil pawn.

But yet everything that happened was a recipe and plan in line for them to have a taste of karma.

Karma do exist!
