In Love With The Heiress

Chapter 20

Jacob dashed back into the studio again, much to the surprise of Razaq. He wasn't comfortable knowing that the identity of the target remained a secret. This had never happened before and so he was highly worried.

"Razaq another contract arrived."
"Okay so you want information on the target, right?" Jacob stared at him without saying a word. Razaq understood it to mean that no information was available.

"Jacob your next target could be extremely high profile."

"Fine, but even the last hit was high profile. Why hide this one?" He sat down and lowered his head to think. Who could it be? Who could the target be? He thought.

"Towers Hotel V.I, that's the location, Razaq." He said.
"Okay Jacob, there's some event going on at Towers Hotel, this Thursday."

"What event?" Jacob's phone rang, and a quick glance at the display revealed Aisha's name. He cut the call, got up and left the studio. Once he got into his car he called her. He wanted them to see so he could ask her if she was planning to host or attend any event in the coming days.

But the moment she answered the call, his mind became flooded with thoughts of Franklin. Aisha you lied to me about him, he thought.

'Hello, JC, I've been trying to reach you but...'
"Aisha, where are you?" He asked sounding quite harsh. Aisha was shocked.
"JC why are you sounding so harsh?"
"Where the fuck are you? Who are you with right now?"
"JC wait. What is this attitude?"
"Aisha, where are you?"
"I'm at home, JC. I haven't gone out the whole day."

"Seriously? And you want me to believe you?"
"JC could you repeat what you said?"
"Do not lie to me okay?" Aisha laughed
"JC if this is a joke just stop it."
"I'm not joking, Aisha. So tell me right now where you are, and who you are with?"
"JC, I've told you I'm at home."
"Where? At the villa hanging out with some dude? Where the fuck are you?"

"Seriously, JC I haven't been to the villa since you left." Jacob kept quiet and took a deep breath making Aisha wonder what was wrong with him.

" Listen, JC it's best we end this conversation, okay?"
"Seriously? Do I irritate you now, that you suddenly want to hang up?"

"JC, I have a lot going on around me right now. So get your head fixed and then we can talk." Jacob laughed

"So I am mental, right? Aisha so I have a mental problem is that what you are saying?" He asked.

Aisha couldn't  continue arguing with him. She just wanted the peace of mind needed, to think about the case being brought against her family. Jacob with his attitude wasn't helping her much. He only reminded her of Florence. She swiped through her phone while she was still talking to him, and brought up Florence's picture.

She sighed as she stared at the woman that twice, had brought Jacob his car.

"JC?  I don't know what you want from me. But I'm sure you have other women that need your attention, right now. I want to be left alone to face my problems, okay?" Aisha cut the call as she still continued to stare  at the photo of Florence.

"What do you want from me if you have her? Idiot!" She murmured angrily. She got up from her bed and went to the kitchen to get a glass of wine. She was alone in the house as her parents had gone out.

They had asked her if she wanted to go out with them but she declined. Jacob, Franklin and the case being brought up by the Ayodeji family were occupying her mind. She was tense and didn't know how the case would go.

Franklin suddenly appearing on the side of the Ayodeji family was shocking. But equally shocking to her was Jacob and the mysterious woman who brought his car to him.
