Chereads / The Brilliant Wife / Chapter 16 - SIXTEEN

Chapter 16 - SIXTEEN

Another explosive content was posted. Owner of JeJu boutique a drug addict and peddler. This time around proves were posted alongside the post. Different pictures of Jerry smoking, sniffing and selling of drugs. Attached also was Juanita who was a smoker. In reality, Juanita doesn't smoke but the picture made it look like she was smoking. Only those with sharp eyes could see she was not smoking. It just showed that she was aware of everything her husband was doing.

......

The IP address was also traced to the shop of the suspect. The police had no choice but to take Jerry and Juanita to the station for questioning.

Juanita had never been embarrassed this way and she bursted into tears. Jerry felt for her and blamed himself though for doing those stuffs. He was kept in detention and wrote his statement. Juanita was taken for questioning and she began crying. She knew about Jerry's bad way of living but she wasn't ready to tell the police.

.......

After searching the couple's apartment and nothing being found, they released them and explained to the public. But this was a bad reputation, many people refused to shop there and preferred to go into town.

......

Henry was watching everything but he refused to help . His business was stabilizing and he had regained his loss. Their products were widely marketed and that brought joy to him.

.......

"What is happening?" Juanita asked Jerry when they arrived home.

Jerry was slowly loosing it and was partly angry with Juanita for the pregnancy but realized he was the one who made it happen, "I don't know," he replied her.

"Jerry I'm scared," she cried and felt her tummy. She was currently entering her 6th month which is second trimester ending. Risk of miscarriage was also high.

"Don't be," he replied and sat with her on the couch hugging her.

He couldn't do anything in this matter and it hurt him. He just sat with Juanita on the couch and held her until she fell asleep.

Was this retribution? He wondered. He thought about how he removed all his family members and how he ventured into black magic just to bring down Henry. He had made it that if any woman conceives for him apart from his wife, he was going to lose his business and die but no matter how he went into Patty, it never worked. He thought about the mysterious wind that often blew on Juanita and made her sleep. He was losing it. He was very young and would have accepted to learn the family business but he thought it was waste of time. He had enough shares in the company but when his father died he withdrew it all and signed a document that he wasn't interested in the business. Wasn't interested, why would he be interested? He just wanted the money and that's why he wanted to push Henry away. Was it not just go to the company, attend useless meetings and approve some things then money comes flowing? He sighed and carried Juanita who was partially awake to the bedroom and lay her down. It's been long he drank and he went to drink away his sorrows.
