I came back from work as usual and she was in the bathroom. Her phone is always on lock but on that graceful evening, it wasn't. I heard a pop-up sound from her phone, and upon having a glance, I saw an email from Mike.
" Hey baby, I am waiting for you to transfer the money you collected from that idiot. Our documents are ready and the house is almost ready for us to move in. I need to finish up with the interior decoration. We need to leave by next Friday. Love you."
I had to read the message several times just to ensure I am not seeing double. I couldn't believe that Mike could go to this extent to get his revenge, moreover, we reconciled some months back. As for Jennifer, I was dumbfounded to read her previous emails to Mike. She described me as a toy she plays with at will, that I am not man enough when it was the case of trying to love her perfectly. At this moment I couldn't think of anything, other than to call my friend, Johnson. We met in a bar and there, he advised me that I need to treat this with caution, less, she can sue me for invasion of privacy. We agreed that I will ask her to take me to the sick father, this way, I will be able to have somewhere to start my case.
Two days later, I told her that I would love to see my soon-to-be Father-in-law in the hospital. The expression on her face can tell anyone that she is tense and scared.
I. I.. Sorry, he has been transferred to another hospital outside the town, it is like 6 hours drive and there is no Airline to the city due to a low number of people taking the route by air.
She said with a shaking voice.
Well, I set out today to visit him. At least getting to see him before the transplant, will mean a lot to him.
I replied quickly.
Wait. Are you doubting me or what? Why the sudden interest in seeing my sick dad? So you don't trust me? I will take you to him if that's how you want me to prove that I am not lying… I….
I interrupted her.
Hey, don't be mad. I only want to see him but it is ok, we can reschedule for another day convenient for you.
I told her this just to give myself enough time to get the police. That day, she was possibly planning to watch her clothes and prepare for her departure with Mike. Within 30 minutes, the Police arrived at our house and I arrested her and charged her with extortion and fraudulent acts. I was bold enough to charge her with that crime because my source informed me that her Father died two years ago in an Auto crash. Seeing what was happening, she began to confess. Through her, Mike was also arrested. I recovered the last $100,000 I sent to her and Mike was made to return the earlier $200,000 she gave her. I got my money back while Mike and Jennifer were sent to 10 years imprisonment.
