Chapter 319 - Vicious And Devious

"Jake stop, that's him!" Kyle exclaimed loudly making Jake abruptly step on the brake in the middle of the road not minding how dangerous it was. He turned to look in the direction Kyle was looking at.

"Where?" Jake asked in a frantic tone.

"There, the man in a blue shirt." Kyle pointed out.

Jake could hear the horn blaring from behind him but he ignored them as he looked at the person Kyle was pointing at. His brows furrowed when he saw who it was.

'What the hell? What was the meaning of this?' He asked himself confusedly.

"Kyle are you sure?" He asked skeptically. He didn't think Kyle was right about who he was pointing at.

Kyle turned and looked at him, while Jake did the same, keenly observing his expression, "I know what I'm saying. That's the man who hypnotised me and I'm sure he was the one who did the same thing to dad!" Kyle told him.

"That's impossible!" Jake looked back at the man, who was about to board a taxi.

'This can't be right' He thought to himself. There was no way the man he was pointing at was the culprit he has been looking for?

He glanced at Kyle again, "Do you know who that is?" Jake asked in a deadpan tone. "Have you seen him before? Maybe somewhere else?" Jake raised a curious brow at him, his voice desperate to know that what Kyle had just said wasn't true because if it was he doesn't know what he'd do.

"I swear I haven't seen him before until that day." Kyle firmly replied.

"Not even at home?" Jake asked slightly raising his voice.

"Not even at home," Kyle replied, he squinted his brows when he realized what Jake had just asked him. Jake didn't want to believe what Kyle was insinuating was true. He had a feeling he couldn't trust Kyle's memory at the moment. He had read somewhere that hypnosis doesn't really help people regain lost or suppressed memories, because it was only suggestive and the patients might come up with memories that are not entirely true but would believe it was. Just like the way he had been hypnotised in the first place. He had done his research, but other than that he just wanted to believe he hadn't been stupid to bring the accomplice of his father's murder into his home.

"Why would he be at home?" Kyle asked with a suspicious tone.

"Because he fucking lives there!" Jake snapped at him. He looked at him again, a bit more intently this time. "Are you really sure, he's the one you saw and you're sure you remembered correctly?" Jake asked while Kyle nodded his head convincingly.

"Fuck!" He slammed his hand on the wheel as he turned the car around in one swerve move.

What the hell was going on in his life recently?

"Was that the man they had sketched out?" He asked without looking at Kyle, his eyes were centred on the road as he drove at full speed.

"Yes," Kyle confirmed.

"Jesus!" Jake exclaimed again. He had messed again. He should have gone with Kyle on the first day of the sketch or asked for a picture of it. What sort of clumsiness was this?

.....

"What's the update?" Hillary asked as she swirled the glass of wine in her hand. She was in a good mood today. As a matter of fact, she was in her best mood and it was probably going to be far better than this in a few hours.

"Everything is going as planned. He's gotten it and also Black has done what you asked him to do. All we just have to do now is wait." Shirley replied.

"Wait a few more hours?" Hillary asked her lips curling upward delightedly.

"Yes," Shirley nodded.

"I don't mind. I've waited over a decade for this. The things I've done for this day to come to pass has been innumerable but finally, I'm going to get it. A few more hours won't kill me right?" Hillary asked in a cool manner.

"No, it won't Hillary," Shirley replied. She looked at the glass of wine in Hillary's hand and the bottle of wine she has been drinking from. Wasn't she overdoing it recently? Shirley looked at her worried eyes but she couldn't say anything.

Hillary sunk into her seat as she took a sip of her wine. "Shirley order some black clothes for us. I'll be mourning my father-in-law and stepson soon. The heavens have finally decided to be faithful to me." She lot out a round of eery laughter.

"And get a glass for yourself too, let's drink and wait for the good news of mourning." She threw her head backwards and laughed heartily. She laughed so hard tears seeped out of the corner of her eyes. She couldn't wait to see Jake's reaction a few hours from now. It should be epic! She thought to herself.

That boy has lingered for too long, thwarting all her plans along the way. Even his father wasn't as bothersome as he was, but now she'd finally have the last laugh in this fight.

Shirley felt goosebumps crawl over her skin as she watched Hillary acting in this fashion, she sighed and nodded her head before walking away. She couldn't say anything but one thing was certain Hillary was getting more vicious and devious by the day.
