Rose couldn't believe it; Jack just apologized to her for the first time ever. She knew it had taken a nerve cracking time for him to apologize but he still did."Look Rose, I am sorry that I caused you a lot these past days and to be honest with you I wouldn't have forgiven myself if you had died. I would have lived with the guilt for years. I should have known that Jeremy was just like Priscilla; being manipulative. Those words that day, If It were possible to take them back I will but all i want you to know is that I am sorry Rose'' She couldn't hold back the tear that was threatening to slip from her eyes as she was seeing a different side of Jack; that soft side which he needed to connect with. She held his hand and squeezed them in reassurance."Even if I had died that day, I would continue to love you in my grave and regardless of the words you threw at me, I still love you. I may have to leave with the guilt of attempting to take my own life when I should perhaps be grateful f

”Like I said, Mr. Jack, I am not the type of solicitor that would be biased in my decision, and certainly what I read out to everyone here is the truth and nothing but the truth. If you by any means lay a finger, even one, at me, then you would not only have me to contend with, but the entire Icon," Brown explained in his usual confident tone.“Jack, go back to your seat and let the man continue,” Xavier pleaded. Jack took a huge breath before going back to his seat.Rose had been watching the entire scene all this while and was shocked to know that Brahim was giving out the entire affairs of the family to Jeremy. She looked around and saw the joy laced on Priscilla’s face, and it only made Rose suspicious."Congratulations, Jeremy, and as a leader, I will want you to know that the responsibility on your shoulders is very heavy; you carry a burden, and thus you must be able to deliver. I must at this point highlight the reason why Jack isn’t worthy of taking on the affairs. Jack, if yo

Rose noticed Jack had been tossing in bed all night, and she couldn’t help but wonder if it had anything to do with the announcement that was made.“Babe, are you still awake?” She asked in a low tone, as Alonso was also asleep."Yeah," Jack's grumpy reply.“What seems to be the issue?” She inquired as she began drawing imaginary circles around his muscular chest while laying her head across his heart area, hearing his heartbeat.“Of course you know what the problem is. You saw what happened earlier today at the table; I can’t believe that my father will boycott the law of the family that has been existing since time immemorial and make his own decision.” Rose could feel the frustration in his tone as he spoke.“You need to calm down, Jack; regardless of what happened today, I want you to know that Alonso and I are here for you,” she explained.“I know, and I will always appreciate that fact. I am just bothered that the downfall of the Elite is looming with Jeremy as leader.” Rose raised her

His phone began to ring again, causing him to look up the number, which was an unknown contact. He hesitated before picking up.“I am back!” The feminine voice, which Jack mostly resented, spoke through the other end.“How the fuck did they allow you out of the asylum?" Jack asked.“Don’t be like this, Jack. I should expect that you celebrate my return with me, but then your wife is home,” Sofia said in her last statement with a tone of resentment. “Can we meet and talk?” She asked further.“There is nothing to talk about, Sofia; stay clear of my path,” Jack warned.“Oh dear! Jack, you hurt my feelings. But it is okay; you don’t want us to talk? Well then, I put it to you that you will find me and will want to have a talk with me,” Sofia remarked before hanging up.“Boss, the ride is ready." Jack got up from the bed and headed out to the kitchen to meet his wife.“Rose, I need you to get Alonso with you; you are leaving for Spain,” he instructed.“Leaving for Spain? What is going on, J

Jack had arrived back at his house after a hectic day; he still looked miserable and dejected over Rose's absence. The death of Vladimir had been announced right before him, and he knew without a doubt that war was coming, but he wasn't concerned because he believed Jeremy would work it out. His phone began to ring, and he checked it to see an unknown caller. Jack wondered why people called him these days with strange numbers."It seems a lot has been happening with you lately. So sorry about your wife anyway."Jack's mood deflated as he recognized the voice."What do you want?" He asked."Don't be like this now; is that how to respond to a simple greeting from your wife?""You are not my wife! Rose is," Jack shouted at her."Hold your horses, big boy; stop being a bitch on the phone.""If you don't have anything reasonable to say, I would be hanging up.""Hold up! I actually have something to say. It is in regards to your missing wife." Jack sat upright. "What is it? You know who did
