Before he could open his mouth to talk, a whole bunch of police men started coming out from their hide out. He was surrounded by the policemen who were all along in ambush.
“Daniel, whats the meaning of this? James asked. “The law is just taking its course” Daniel said.THE PAINS OF A LONELY HEART-Episode 25

James was immediately handcuffed right after they had taken the illegal drugs from his possession. It was now difficult for him to even defend himself, cause this time around he was caught right in the act. It will only take a very powerful and influential person in the society to come to his aid. But as it stands now, James will be put in jail for a long time after he has been found guilty. They led him away and placed him behind bars with the illegal drugs kept as an evidence.

Mrs. Johnson had scheduled a meeting with Jax at a restaurant which was away from their town. At least, with this location, it was difficult for anyone to find or even trace them.
Jax got there before Mrs. Johnson arrived. She was late. “What took you so long? Jax asked.

The relationship between Jax and Mrs. Johnson had changed over the few months ever since they began engaging in such unscrupulous deeds. Jax had virtually lost all the respect she had for Mrs. Johnson. “Sorry, Ben was a hard nut to crack” Mrs. Johnson said.
“Do you think he knows anything? Jax asked. “I can’t trust him, but I know what to do. ” Mrs. Johnson assured her. “Ermmm, don’t you think this is the time you have tell him about me? he has not noticed me and he just sees me like any member of the church. ” Jax asked.THE PAINS OF A LONELY HEART-Episode 25

“Not yet, but you know I always keep my promise. Besides I have a plan. He is my son. I know him so for this reason, don’t worry.” Mrs. Johnson said. Apparently, Mrs. Johnson had promised Jax that, apart from her being paid for her services, She was going to make sure Ben marry Jax.

Jax was all along in love with Ben right from when he arrived from the states with James.
She had tried everything in her power to get noticed but Ben on the other hand Ben never looked at her direction. This was actually part of the reasons Jax was helping Mrs. Johnson out with her deeds aside the money she was earning. “Mrs. Johnson, can I ask you a question? Jax asked ” Sure, go ahead” Mrs. Johnson said. ” At least you know why I’m helping you out, you know my intentions and everything. But I don’t understand where you’re coming from, why are you doing all these things? ” Jax asked. ” Young girl, don’t forget your boundaries, you do what I ask of you and pay you for that. I don’t expect such questions….. ” Mrs. Johnson said but was interrupted by a phone call from an unknown number.

It was from the police, they informed her about the arrest of James her son. She had to postpone all other matters that was pending to be discussed with Jax and attend to her son James. It was amazing how Mrs. Johnson handled this issue. Ben was arrested right in front of her however she never took the risk to visit him. But with James, she had to stop whatever she was doing and go to the police station. James has always been her favorite. She has always treated him specially, than Ben.

Juliet on the other hand was returning from her mother’s place. Her mother had told Juliet not to reveal whatever she knew about herself and her maternal existence to anyone.
Juliet felt complete. For the very first time she was happy. She was happy that Ben and James are actually her siblings.
What actually got her worried was the fact that Daniel was no where to be found. She thought of him and the support Daniel had given her. What would have happened if Daniel never came into her life. She would have still remained in darkness.
She then decided to go to where Daniel and herself had been staying before her miscarriage.
She found it very difficult to locate the place, but after several hours of looking, she was successful.
To her surprise, she found a gate man at the place.
“wow, Daniel has finally decided to get a gate man” She said to herself as she approached the house.
Another thing that amazed her was how the gate man welcomed her too when he saw her, it seems he had known her.
“Madam welcome” Said the gate man.
“Thank you, I’m looking for your boss” Juliet asked.
“Oh Madam, you are my boss, I don’t know how to answer you again oo Madam” said the gate man.
” You are very funny, I’m looking for Daniel, the one who lives here” She asked.
The gate man looked confused and said.
” Madam, I am the only one that lives here oo, I have lived here alone for the past three years until you showed up last two weeks” The gate man said.
“How come I didn’t see you when I came? She asked.
“Your mother told me you will be coming, I was in my quarters when you arrived. That’s why you didn’t see me. I wanted to introduce myself to you but I later on realized that you had left without me noticing. Forgive me madam, it won’t happen again” The gate man said.
” So you mean, you were all along in this house and I never set my eyes on you? Juliet asked.
“Yes madam, myself I was surprised that you stayed indoors all the time” The gate man said.
” Anyway, the man I came here with, he is the one am looking for” Juliet asked again.
“Madam, you came here with someone? I didn’t see any one with you oo” The gate man said.THE PAINS OF A LONELY HEART-Episode 25
As much as the issue seemed strange to Juliet, the gate man was smelling of alcohol, so Juliet didn’t take him serious. She thought he was drunk
