Chapter 1

“A news reporter of UFC news has been arrested by the police for murdering Earl Harrison and has been announced for lifetime imprisonment.”

0

This was the news all over the newspapers, all of the reporters were talking about this and why not? This was the hottest news and the TRP’S of these news channels were exploding like crazy.

0

People on social media were going crazy with their unrealistic and more bullshit news. Some people were even saying that the court has made a wrong decision of life imprisonment rather they should have announced a death sentence.

0

In jail, Jordan was in a very serious depression, he never thought of himself but as a man, he worried more about his family. He was not imagining what is going on with him but he was more worried that his family would have been suffering.

0

He was in constant depression and everybody around him had no sympathy from him. Jordan never talked to anybody and he had not eaten anything for a whole day straight. People around him never hesitate to comment on him.

0

Whatever the situation was, it was clear that it was not in favor of Jordan. Jordan was constantly thinking about first, his guilt and then his family. But the thought that he had not done anything wrong also struck his mind.

0

After some time someone knocked on the steel bars of his cell. That voice dragged Jordan out of his thoughts. He then looked outside and a man as fat as a buffed pillow was standing outside the cell.

0

He wore a blue shirt, with classic and expensive pants stood there, glaring at Jordan with anger that he wanted to kill him. Beside him, a police officer was standing who Jordan thought that must have been dragged forcefully with this guy.

0

This guy was none other than Earl Harrison’s father. Earl Harrison and his family are the families of rich, billionaire people. They run many businesses like their fabulous tobacco one.

0

“Please leave” Ten Harrison requested him and the police officer went without any questions.

0

“I am not allowed to do anything, otherwise you would have not been sitting here, I just wanted to kill you so badly.” Ten Harrison threatened Jordan with anger. But it had no effect on Jordan who has already lost seeing downside and lost in his own world.

0

This made Ten angrier so he picked up his gun, he directed it towards Jordan but then someone caught his wrist and when Ten noticed he was the police commissioner himself.

0

“Please, sir, you can’t do it here. I know that you are angry but please, it will make a very serious issue in public,” he told Ten Harrison and Ten also then drank away his anger but the anger in his eyes was not fading away and why not? A billionaire with so much popularity, his son was killed by someone and the killer is in front of his eyes but he can’t kill him. Then what is the profit of becoming a billionaire?

0

Jordan continued looking downwards and lost in his endless journey of thoughts. But what was the guilt of Jordan? He just did the thing that he thought was right.

0

Then again someone knocked on the bars. Jordan now didn’t even want to look outside but he did and the person was none other than Kian, his fellow mate who was junior to Jordan in his journalist job.

0

“I am not allowed to enter, Jordan,” he told Jordan and Jordan replied, “If you could enter then also you will pretty much be a burden on me.”

0

After such a long time Jordan spoke a few words and that was because of Kian, Kian was the best buddy of Jordan before he came to jail.

0

“So you accepted the money from Ten, right?” Jordan asked while glaring at Kian “You know Kian, I already anticipated that. You are such a backstabber.”

0

“It is not like you are thinking, I was just horrified that if I go against Ten Harrison then he will surely kill me and my wife.” at this point Kian could not match his eyes with Jordan, he spoke very loudly this time “I KNOW THAT YOU WILL HATE ME FOR ENTIRE LIFE BUT I CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, IF YOU WERE IN MY POSITION I KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME.”

0

There was complete silence in the cell for 3-4 minutes. Then Kian’s eyes filled with tears “I am sorry, I am so hopeless.” But now Jordan ignored him and Kian has already anticipated that. After seeing Jordan for one more minute, Kian left.

0

Jordan was now more into the thought that if he was in the place of Kian then what would he have done. After some time he came to the conclusion that he would have done the same, that he would have protected his family and break all the relations with the so-called criminal.

0

Now the question was what was happening here and who are all these new people that are coming in to see Jordan and is there a relationship between these scenes that had been going on here.

0

Jordan was a nice man. He was pretty much-respected wherever he went and that was because he was a hardworking young man who has made his living working without any second thought. He was so talented and he started coming to his moves in his start of the career. That was why he was also called Genius.

0

And there was a good reason why he was called Genius, He understood the basics of journalism at the age of 15, which is incredible. He was a passionate speaker and never hesitated to speak the truth against the crowd.

0

He was the one who could stand in the crowd leaving everyone behind. But after this incident, he was completely shattered into tears. His whole career has already ended and he was having no means to live anymore.

0

After some time he went to sleep and this was the end of his shameful day in the jail. Jordan was now also in the doubt about, what he did wrong.

0

That was a hell fo sleepless night for Jordan, he could not sleep but just think and think and think.

0

The next day he wakes, he heard knocking of steel bars again. Actually, he now became fond of the knock of steel bars. A normal person would have gotten irritated but Jordan didn’t.

0

For him, that was the only way he could get out of his constant and useless thinkings alright. But the man there was not recognizable by Jordan, who was this guy? He thought.

0

“Are you William Jordan?” that guy asked in his very heavy voice. The guy was complete emotionless like no one has ever seen before. Jordan looked at him “Yes, I am Jordan.” and both glared at each other for some time.

0

“I want to take an interview of you.” that guy spoke while entering the cell, “I think I am allowed to enter.” Jordan let loose his head to face downwards. But then that random strange guy got a hold of Jordan’s hair and pulled him up “Don’t try to act cool, I am in charge here.”
