For Better And For Worse
Chapter 105

Krist: Please tell me who has been destroying my life all this time, please.

Gordjo: some truths are not good to hear Krist. You might not like it.

Krist: tell me anyway, I’ve endured worse than a simple word.

Gordjo: very good, I’ll tell you, just for your sake. The person who hurt you all this time is BRUNO, your stepfather.

Krist: no…!

Krist receives this news like a bullet fired point-blank in the heart, which throws him against the wall. He slowly slid down to sit up like a dead person. Samuel and Nero come running. They point their weapons at Gordjo who, to their surprise, actually has his hands handcuffed on the table. Nero touches Krist’s neck, his louse is still beating.

Nero: Krist, Krist can you hear me? Krist answer me!

Samuel: what did you do to him?

Gordjo: nothing, I just revealed the truth to him.

Samuel takes Gordjo back to the cell.

Nero: Krist, are you okay?

Krist: Commander, I have to go back tomorrow at the latest.

He helps her get up. Krist didn’t come to that but from the perspective of things, everything is actually explained. He now understands why Gauthier was so angry with him. That’s because he was actually her stepfather. He should have known it, but he didn’t imagine she was capable of such cruelties. Samuel returns and replaces them.

Samuel: Krist, are you okay?

Krist: let’s say it’s okay.

Nero: Are you going to tell us what happened?

Krist: Turns out the one who destroyed my life was actually my stepfather. He’s the one who locked me up, who tried to kill me when I was in prison and who’s happy now that he thinks I’m dead. He will be surprised to see my ghost.

The governor arrives in the cell and Samuel goes to welcome him. He brings him to his office then he receives Krist and the commander. Krist gives him his report which he looks through.

Governor: your service record is truly excellent!

Krist: thank you sir. I would like to return as soon as possible, Mr. Governor, there are also drug traffickers in my home who I must put out of harm’s way.

Governor: I understand, I already called the ambassador this morning and he will see me in a few hours.

Krist: okay, thank you sir.

Krist and Commander Nero return and he goes to work. Krist therefore remained alone at home. The governor goes to the embassy to settle Krist’s matter. When everything is ok, he calls Krist to join him and a national identity card and a pass are issued for him.

Krist: Thank you very much for everything, Mr. Governor.

Governor: Thank you too.

So Krist returns home. He takes out all the money he earned from fights to count. He ends up with 25 million dollars, which is equivalent to around ten billion FCFA. That’s enough and a lot of money to completely change your life. He just realized that his presence here was not negative but very beneficial.

Krist: thank you Lord, everything you do is good, everything works for the good of those who love God. Glory to you my God. If only Isabelle were a little more patient, our life would become better and all her suffering would only be bad memories of the past, but alas… However, before judging her, I must first know the truth, I will not be surprised if this remarriage is the work of his father.

He decides to call Stella.

Stella: hello!

Krist: hello Stella!

Stella: Krist, oh my God, you are really alive!

Krist: Of course, you don’t believe it?

Stella: of course yes, Isabelle never thought you were dead.

Krist: Interesting! Well, I’m just calling to tell you that I won’t be home soon. In a few days I will be there.

Stella: really, what a joy to hear that, we can’t wait for your return Krist.

Krist: see you soon.

He hangs up and goes to the airport to pay for his plane ticket to travel tomorrow morning.

DOTTAN.

After receiving this call from Krist, Stella immediately calls Isabelle to inform her.

Isabelle: but why was he the one he called, why didn’t he call me?

Stella: I don’t know.

Isabelle: do you think he knows about me?

Stella: I don’t know, how can he know?

Isabelle: social networks.

Stella: but he didn’t have access to the phone, otherwise he would have called us instead of going through someone else. Don’t worry Isabelle.

After this call, she then calls Krist’s mother to inform her as well. After that, she goes to work and talks to Célestin about it.

Célestin’s office.

Stella arrives eager to break the news to her fiancé. She replaces him in his office.

Stella: hello my love.

She gives him a k**s.

Célestin: hello, what’s happening to you darling?

Stella: I am overwhelmed with joy, my baby.

Célestin: oh yes, what makes you so happy?

Stella: Krist called me this morning, he’ll be back soon.

Célestin: was he the one who called you?

Stella: Yes.

Célestin: okay, we’re going to prepare for his return. How does Isabelle feel?

Stella: very worried. She thinks he knows about her because he called me.

Célestin: no matter who he called, when he comes back, he will know about his marriage anyway.

Stella: exactly! But Krist is a man who controls himself, he will understand when he knows the truth.

Célestin: yes, I hope. Okay, let’s get to work now.

PARIS.

Evariste had completed his first year of Masters. This is why today, his father has decided to pay the dowry of his fiancée Marianne. Everything went well and after the dowry ceremony, Roger returns to replace his son.

Krist: thank you Lord, everything you do is good, everything works for the good of those who love God. Glory to you my God. If only Isabelle were a little more patient, our life would become better and all her suffering would only be bad memories of the past, but alas… However, before judging her, I must first know the truth, I will not be surprised if this remarriage is the work of his father.

Evariste: thank you very much dad.

Roger: That’s all I did for you. Tomorrow I’m going home to my wife. If you want to go back or stay here, that’s your problem. I don’t have any more money to pay for your stupidity, so the next time you do it, you’ll take care of yourself.

Evariste: I understood, Dad.

Roger: so, shall we go back where are you staying?

Evariste: I’m staying.

Roger: well, I’m going to pay for my plane ticket.

His son is accompanying him to pay for his plane ticket and he is ready to travel tomorrow morning.

DOTTAN.

Gauthier’s Secret Home.

Bruno, who had promised his wife to stop the nocturnal affairs, goes out again that night around 10 p.m. He goes to his secret home and replaces Francis in his office again.

Bruno: Francis, what are you doing here?

Francis: I’m not going to let you go and free Corneille alone.

Bruno: how do you know I’m going to free him?

Francis: It’s just obvious.

Bruno goes into his secret room and wears his Gauthier mask then he comes out. He and Francis get in the car to go to the prison.

Komer Prison.

After the lights go out, the director himself calls Corneille. He brings her to his office and gives her a guard outfit. So Cornelius dresses in this outfit and leaves like a guard coming home. He goes to the place the director told him. Gauthier and Francis arrive just after and take him.

Gauthier: can you tell me how they were able to get you?

Corneille: It was my girlfriend who set me up. She invited me to her house to supposedly reconcile but in fact, it was a maneuver by Léon. I went there, she drugged me and the brigade took me in.

Francis: how could you let yourself be taken in so easily?

Corneille: It’s obvious that you’ve never been in love. This girl is going to pay me dearly for it.

Gauthier: you’re not going to do anything, we have to remain discreet.

Cornelius: She’s going to pay me back one way or another.

Gauthier: Come on, let’s go.

Francis starts and they leave. They go to the warehouse and Simplice gives them the report.

Gauthier: My wife worries too much about my nights out so I’ll let you handle that for a while. However, if you have a problem, please do not hesitate to call me.

Cornelius: of course.

Francis: be calm.

Gauthier leaves them and goes home. He apologizes once again in front of his wife. In Paris, tomorrow morning, Roger is leaving to return. Krist on the Mexican side says goodbye to Commander Nero who accompanied him to the airport and takes the plane home as well.
