"Who the hell is Ivy?!" Both Michael and Sebastian yelled out. No one had heard of Ivy and it was slowly dawning on Jake just how secretive he really was. He couldn't bring himself to start explaining who Ivy was at that point. His brain was busy trying to understand why she would do a thing like that. She walked out on him and now she was trying to ruin his life. What did he ever do to her to deserve such treatment? He needed answers and he was going to get them. Jake rushed out of the booth they had been smuggled into and his friends followed him. They saw a fire in his eyes that they hadn't seen before. A fire that told them of the dangerous things that he could do if he wasn't talked out of them. Still, he gave them no chance. Gave them no opportunity to even utter a word. Jake rushed immediately to the building and his friends finally caught up with him at the elevator."Jake, wait!" Sebastian yelled as he was about to get into the elevator."What?!" He bellowed with so much ang

"Is he always this fiesty?" Michael asked Jake when Sebastian was out of the room. He knew the man was way older than both of them but he had seen him like a cool older guy, he didn't anymore. The actions of Sebastian, even though they were good, they still reminded him of when he was a child and his father would tell to him that way. He was happy that Jake finally found a father figure still he was going to extra lengths to maintain what he shouldn't even be thinking of. Michael was Jake's best friend. He would never do anything to hurt him and Sebastian's behaviour only proves that he didn't trust him well enough to keep his guardian secret. He couldn't blame him though. Sebastian hardly knew him. The one person he could blame was Jake. Jake knew him better than most people did and he still didn't believe that he wouldn't do anything to hurt him. Michael didn't understand why he kept being friends with someone who didn't trust him. "He sees himself as my elder brother and my fathe

"Get to the point already, Ivy. What am I doing here and where is Amanda?" "You can't be so hasty to speak especially when you don't have anything to hold against me." "Are you fucking serious?! You kidnapped my wife.""And where is the proof that I did anything of that such? I didn't do that. Your wife left on her own and that's partly on me. It's why I wanted to meet with you. I had very little to do with her leaving." "What are you talking about?" "Okay, I will admit that I may have partly caused this. I went to your house a few hours back but it wasn't to kidnap her. I only went there to maybe threaten her and make her feel small but she ended up leaving by herself. I had absolutely nothing to do about that, I promise you.""How can I believe anything that comes out of your mouth?" "Because you know me. Do you really think that I am capable of hurting a single soul?" Ivy batted eyelashes at Jake making him confused, he didn't know if he should trust a single thing she said or

The warehouse door opened and with it brought the sunlight into the dark building where Amanda had been kept him. The young woman tried to adjust her eyes to the sunlight and catch a glimpse of the person that stood by the door. It became easy as time went by and she could see comfortably. At that moment, she wished she couldn't. Anything was better than seeing a haunting smile on the face of her capturer. It could only mean one thing and that's that Jake believed whatever lies she told him. She should have seen it coming though, he never believed her anyway. Why then won't he believe someone that he cared so much about that his wife was doing whatever she said she was?She averted her eyes from her face. She would have screamed but her voice had become sour from screaming all day. She had hoped that the woman was bluffing and someone would hear her and come to her rescue but no one could. She screamed for hours but still, no one heard her voice and no one came to her rescue. When her

"That is a question that you should be asking your daughter when you see her. She will be in the best position to answer that." Sebastian stepped in to help Jake when he saw that he was tongue-tied. He had to continue teaching him how to give smart and quick responses to questions that may destroy your entire existence if care is not taken. "My friend doesn't know anything about what you have been doing with your daughter when she left him, so how do you expect him to know the thoughts in her head?" "Because she is his wife and he is her husband. They are married, and she is not supposed to answer to us. She is supposed to answer to him." "The same way she answered to him when she left the first time, right? Or is it when she asked for a divorce? Or is it when she tried to put him in jail, twice? Let's face it, sir. Your daughter has never acknowledged Jake as her husband, as a man she should respect. She has treated him so badly and she is continuing to do just that." "She is not
