The next day, I contacted Mark's mother, transferred her some money and asked her to buy him a phone and add my contact when he got out. I needed him to do some job for me.
Mark's mother was very grateful when she heard my offer. After all, for an ex-convict to get a job straight after getting out of prison was nearly impossible and my offer relieved her greatly.
For me, Mark was a game changer. So, every second of waiting for him to contact me was torture.
Finally, at nine in the morning on the third day, Mark added me on WhatsApp and immediately requested a video call with me.
As soon as I received his video call, I could see that he was so agitated. “Mr. Hamilton, three years ago, Samantha framed me. I never took any bribes. I’ve been loyal to you for years. You have to believe me.”
I nodded. “Mark, calm down. Listen, I lost my memory and can’t remember much, but I suspect the woman with me isn’t really Samantha. She’s isolated me. Right now, you’re the only one I can trust.”
Mark was shocked. “Fuck! She isn’t Samantha? What the hell is going on? Tell me what to do. I’ll do anything to clear my name and help you, even if it means I'll have to go through hell for you.”
