The next day, at the Giorgio Estate in Clemensdale… Megan was not only clad in her guise as Amelia Giorgio, but she was carrying all the mannerisms and airs of elegance that suited a perfectly trained lady of high society. She had paired a stylish collared white striped shirt with a form- fitting gray tunic, which accentuated her poise and sophistication. With her hair swept up into a carefully styled messy bun and her lips adorned with red lipstick, she commanded attention as she moved gracefully through the gathering.Gathered there today, in front of her stood the core members of the Giorgio family, including Lucas Giorgio, his wife, their sons, the grandmother, and various other relatives. Megan's eyes swept over the assembled group, taking note of each person's presence and demeanor.Meanwhile, Jack stood at her side in a tailored black suit as per usual, his attention focused intently on the proceedings unfolding before them.The grandmother opened up her arms in a welcoming

Once he was finally back in his room, Jack finally had the mental bandwidth to unpack the day's events; and his thoughts first turned to wonder what Megan was trying to do.He clearly remembered the fact that he had seen something related to the drug cartel in the contents of that pen drive, then why did she lie to him… not outright, but she had definitely tried to intercept him and redirect his attention. He had known Megan for ages, and he knew for a fact that she wasn't the type to lie or deceive someone. In fact, she had always been one of the most loyal people he had ever encountered in his life.That's why, he had trusted her with not just the matters of Scavenger, but he had entrusted him with the care of his own family! There had been many incidents in the past where she had helped him, even going out of her way to do it. In fact, she was still helping him to manage everything in his life, rather than just being a subordinate to his job.But then again, there was this feelin

Megan stands with an air of confidence, her posture poised and her gaze steady as she addresses Jack's concerns. "Lucas Giorgio is planning to attend a party on the Borvenna cruise," she begins, her voice calm and assured.Jack raises an eyebrow, his skepticism evident. "And how do you plan to gain access to this party?" he asks, his tone tinged with doubt. "Do you even know when it is or who's on the guest list?"Megan tosses her hair back with a confident smirk, her eyes sparkling with determination as she responds to Jack's concerns. "The party on the Borvenna cruise? Please," she scoffs, her voice dripping with self-assurance. "Do you forget who I am? I am Amelia Giorgio, darling, and if I decide to grace that party with my presence, doors will open wide for me."She saunters across the room, her movements graceful and assured, as if already envisioning herself at the center of the event. "You worry too much, Jack," she continues, a hint of amusement in her voice. "A simple pa

Jack was still in the confusion of what he should do or not, there was a fair chance that Rebecca would definitely try to contact Anna and Dottie in his absence.Or worse ….to harm them….so there was no way that he could leave them there all alone by themselves.Nor can he leave his mother without any support, because he has seen that not only his daughters, but Rebecca was not afraid to hurt his mother too, as she has no moral left with her and he was quite sure about it.And Amy was indeed there to take good care of his family and she indeed does a good job in doing so, but that doesn't mean that he can leave everything on her and put the entire weight of taking care of his family and their protection on her shoulders.Because no matter how brave she was and how much dedicated she was towards his family, he can not completely trust her, as he has already seen the repercussions of blind trust on someone and he wasn't going to repeat the mistake ever again.Thinking this he has decide

Time has a very simple phenomenon of its own, that is, it can never stop for a living thing… and those who believe that time stops for the dead are extremely wrong, since it doesn't stop for them as well…. it's just that they are not alive anymore, to experience the flow of time.But even though the love and affection Jack once had for Rebecca had died in his heart, time had not stopped there. Instead, it had started to rush with even more intensity, carrying the anger and disgust for her in the same place where he had made the grave for that once- existing love.Thinking all this, he sat in his room, the early morning light filtering in through the curtains as he sipped on a cup of coffee. It was early morning on a Sunday, and Megan had arrived with him to Aspenhurst just a few hours ago.Although Megan was quite eager to accompany him home, he had asked her to wait until evening before meeting everyone. And right now, he himself was waiting for the moment when the girls would wake u
