Chapter 76 – Beacon of light
Jonathan was trapped in his own dreams and dreads and had not found a way out yet.
A part of him was convinced that his wife and Lil were the same. Another part of him was in denial as it meant that the kids were also his and he had not only been a terrible husband but also a worse father.
The dread of his worst nightmare coming true had stopped him in his tracks every time he wanted to seek the truth.
However, every time he felt like he would sink into depression, Liliana’s words about forgiving himself and their marriage being no one’s fault would come back to him like a beacon and save him.
Jonathan had lost a lot of weight in just a few weeks and was also suffering from insomnia.
Liliana had told him several times to relax and forgive himself but so far he had not succeeded.
On the other hand, in a neighboring country, a middle-aged man with a potbelly was losing his mind as everything he had put his money on kept on shutting down and he was about to be homeless.
His name was Romeo but the name did not match his sleazy appearance at all.
Romeo seemed to have fallen into some stroke of bad luck as everything he did ended up in a loss.
His car broke down, his house had a gas leak and exploded, the insurance people denied his claims stating it was either his negligence or deliberate attempt to extort money from them, his investments all turned sour, his store suffered losses, his ex-girlfriend came to make a scene and his current girlfriend ran away with his money, and even worse he lost a lot of money in gambling.
Unable to handle the pressure Romeo visited a renowned astrologer who scared him out of his wits.
He ran away from her place but her words kept ringing in his head giving him nightmares.
“You ruined her life and her daughter’s. She wants vengeance.”
“You killed her unborn baby.”
“Your daughter stole what belonged to her daughter.”
“You have something valuable which belongs to her.”
“She will not rest until it is returned to its owner.”
“Whoever has her daughter’s belongings will suffer her wrath.”
The middle-aged man kept running and even forgot to call a cab. He started to pant after running just short of a mile. Years of living in decadence would do that to anyone.
He was almost hit by a car which nearly gave him a heart attack.
Finally, he managed to hail a cab and return back to his house.
He frantically dug into a marked spot under a tree and took out an inconspicuous box that was locked with a code.
He punched the code and took out another box and opened it to reveal an elegant necklace made of pure gold, sixty small marquise cut diamonds, and a large blue diamond in the middle.
His eyes gleamed as he thought all his troubles would go away if only he could sell the necklace.
He would get a large amount of money and the jinx will go to the buyer.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Romeo smiled a cunning smile and went to sleep after hiding it in a secure place.
