    Chapter 81


    Jaxon made a call after walking Rowena to the ward. He was on a time bomb to end every business


    transaction today to enable them to leave. Canada to their pack early tomorrow morning. Yesterday, he


    left the meeting half way for which reason he was sure to pay some penalties to cancel the


    transaction..


    It was quite a lot of money and Jaxon did not mind since it was relevant. for, he and Rowena’s peace


    and sanity. However, he could still get some discount on the penalty if he spoke to the CEO to exins


    his reason.


    After a little thought, he dialed the office of the secretary to book an appointment to see the CEO. The


    secretary answered the call on the first. ring and without formalities, Jaxon went on to say,


    “I wish to have a meeting with the CEO concerning termination of the


    recent contract.”


    The secretary remembered him from yesterday when he run out of the meeting due to an emergency


    and her boss had informed her to alert. him and Jaxon called back. Thinking that what ever made him


    to leave. such an important meeting half way was a sign that it was more important that the meeting


    itself.


    As such, she was not expecting him to call back so early. Also, the CEO had left the country as he said


    to Jaxon yesterday and she wondered if Jaxon would be willing to deal with their managing director as


    their CEO suggestion.


    “Mr. Clinton, our CEO already left the country,” the secretary said politely. Jaxon had forgotten that bit


    but also recalled it suddenly.


    “Yes, he said so. Kindly arrange the meeting between me and his managing director.”


    The secretary sigh with relief at the fact that he even brought up the option himself what she was afraid


    of mentioning it to him like his father suggestion.


    “Well noted.” She said before asking, “For what time please?””


    Jaxon wanted everything done today so he didn’t want to go there and waste his time waiting for the


    manager, for which result he decided to book the appointment.

    The manager could have still attended to him if he just walked in butt Jaxon wanted everything to be


    perfect, so there wouldn’t be a need toe back again like he nned.


    “An hour is


    now.”


    fine because I’m just forty-five minutes away and setting off


    The line went silent for a few seconds and he knew that she was trying to confirm to the managing


    director. Jaxon wanted to end the call and call againter confirm the time when she said,


    “Your appointment has been confirmed to be in an hour.”


    “That is fast, thank you very much.”


    Jaxon was indeed grateful at the speed with which the secretary booked the appointment for him,


    unknown to him that she had been expecting him toe back since he left in a hurry yesterday.


    “You are wee, Mr. Clinton,” she responded before ending the call.


    Jaxon had reached the car park and about into his car when he was approached by two hefty men in


    police uniform.


    “Excuse me sir.” One of them tapped Jaxon on the shoulder for him to be aware that he was the one


    being addressed. The second one frowned a little, since the face looked familiar. He was an elderly


    man of not less than fifty. As he tried to recall how he knew him, it did not take long before he


    remembered.


    His son used to work with Jaxon and he said a lot of good things about him. It was one of those days


    when his son was attacked on his way. home from work and his phone and wallet stolen, that the


    information reached Jaxon and he felt that the young man needed a car.


    Jaxon bought it for him without deducting it from his sry. It was due to this that this man went to


    thank Jaxon but he was sure that Jaxon would not recognize him since it’s been ages.


    “How may I help you? I have an important appointment,” Jaxon said seriously. The first officer from the


    Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) who was also the young was about to speak, the elder one


    said politely,


    “I’m sorry sir, but we would have to invite you to the station for


    questioning.”

    Chapter 81


    He was very sure that Jaxon was not guilty of what he was used of since to him, Jaxon was an


    angel.


    “Questioning for what?” Jaxon asked impatiently,


    The young officer looked the other way and Jaxon followed his gaze before the understanding settled.


    Beverly was standing there with the man Jaxon showed mercy because he had not touched Rowena.


    Therefore, it was not hard for Jaxon to understand that Beverly had pressed charges against him and


    he had no idea of how to defend himself since he did not have proof.


    If Rowena was unconscious, then how could she recall the thing that happened? That is, she could not


    be Jaxon’s witness. Whereas since. she was the reason why Jaxon was violent, she could not be


    the perfect witness and Jaxon did not have one.


    “The charges of assault,” the younger police said.


    “I wille to the station myself,” Jaxon said after a careful thought. Since he already booked an


    appointment, he had to cancel them and face the penalties. However, since he was doing it all because


    of Rowena, he was certain that it was all for good.


    “Are you sure?” The young officer asked again since the elder one had not contributed anything and


    that is somebody’s pain.


    “I will be right behind you and I’m not going anywhere,” Jaxon said in annoyance before starting the car


    and running out of gas after picking the children.


    The officer agreed for him to report to the station on his own but Beverly was upset, and said to the


    officer, “What if he runs off?”


    “He won’t.” the elderly officer quickly saw it and spoke.


    “He should be arrested, handcuffed, I mean,” Beverly instructed since she felt like the officers were


    being too lenient on Jaxon including allowing him to drive to the station by himself and with no police


    escorts.


    “I know Mr. Clinton from eight years ago. He is a very disciplined man,” the elder officer said and the


    younger one finally understood the reason. for his colleagues’ sudden politeness.


    “But he assaulted me,” Beverly insisted. She was afraid that Jaxon would divert to the airport or drive in


    a different direction and escape.

    “Let’s talk at the station,” the old officer said, since he did not want to engage her in long talks.


    On the way, Jaxon called the secretary again. “I’m very sorry but something came up and I won’t be


    able to make it. Please cancel my appointment until further notice or better still, I will send you an email


    on what I want done.”


    “Yes, Mr. Clinton,” the secretary agreed but though there was disappointment in her tone, Jaxon did not


    discern it.


    When Jaxon was done, he wanted to call Rowena but wasn’t sure if she even found her phone from


    leaving it unattended to thest time so he decided to mindlink,


    ‘I’ve been arrested for assault. Please call Jason to send you to the hotel. when you close from work.’)


    Rowena mind linked back almost instantly with worry through the mindlink, ‘What happened?’


    “You don’t think I made it easy for Beverly and the man she asked to take the pictures you, did you?’


    Jaxon chuckled at his own word whiles. Rowena said,


    ‘Let me call uncle Jason toe over to help you. I can make my way to the hotel,” Rowena said


    seriously but Jaxon refused. For as long as Beverly was still on the loose, he did not feel that Rowena


    would be safe


    without him.


    ‘NO. Your safety is more important and trust me, I will be fine.


    ‘Okay, please keep in touch and don’t tell me to not worry because I am,''” Rowena half-jokingly said


    thought the mindlink.


    ‘I love you, Jaxon said, hoping that it would make her to feel better and she responded,


    -‘I love you too.’ No one heard their conversation except the two of them.


    Jaxon arrived at the police station and so did Beverly and the man she set Rowena up with. When


    Jaxon was following the officer inside the station, Beverly went to the officer and said,


    “Please let me have a word with him first.”


    The elder officer was slightly upset. He did not want any dys.

    “You have to hurry. We need to take his statement before deciding on what to do,” the younger officer


    reminded Beverly. He did not want to waste time but Beverly quickly said,


    “I won’t take much of your time.”


    As Beverly went to Jaxon, she smiled and asked, “Jax, how are you going to get out of this? There


    were cameras in the house and videos could be edited, you know?”Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
