“What are you insinuating? I don't understand,” Blade replied.“What don't you understand? I said some men are right behind me. Send the security you said you would send if you want to save my life.” He retorted, sounding a bit harsh, knowing his life was in danger as he used the side mirror to see that the men were almost caught up with him.“Calm down, young master, those are your security. They are trained military agents, don't be scared of them. They will give you a distance so it doesn't look weird.” Blade said to him to get him relaxed, hearing how scared he sounded.“I learned you just headed for the second to the last street that leads to the incorporation now.”“Are you tracking me? Do you know I almost pooped trying to fire myself forward in speed and save my butt?” Jack joked.Blade let out a chuckle over the phone.“Even if I do track you, it's still part of my job,” he stated. Jack kept quiet, focusing on his direction and where he was headed.“I need to let you know tha

It was evening. At Jack’s mansion, he was seen engrossed in his phone, doing a few research steps in setting up an accounting firm. Soon after that, he bathed and wore an Islamic turban that had a bid covering his entire face and a high white gown that made him look like a pope and left for the living room. That was a perfect disguise to visit his company, since he would prefer to go in a car with Blade this time.“I think we can go together to the incorporation now,” he urged Blade, who was around, seated in the living room.“Oh, you finally accepted that you need my company, boss?”“Stop feeling yourself, man. You will always tell me that you are doing your job, so get this one done too,” Jack teased him in a friendly tone.“Sure, why not.”Not quite long after, they headed out of the living room through the corridors. There was a convoy of luxury SUV cars parked outside waiting for him. But they ended up using just one of the presidential bulletproof black-tinted SUVs. They advanc

“May the souls of the departed keep resting in the bosom of the Lord,” the officiating priest for the funeral said and continued. “And may peace be with you all present.”“Amen.” Blade and Jasmine responded, the priest did the sign of the cross and left for his car immediately, as he had concluded the sermon for the funeral and noticed the atmosphere was already cloudy.Jack had wanted the burial of his sister and grandpa very private to avoid unnecessary attention and traces to himself. So he only invited Blade and Jasmine, who were the closest people around him so far as he was concerned.Jack was so quiet and couldn't say a single word during the ceremony. He couldn't help but let emotions take over the better side of him. He knelt over the carpet grass facing the tombs of both his beloved sister and that of his grandpa as he unconsciously dropped the rose flowers he held in his hands.A million and one thoughts ran through his mind that centered on how his sister’s life would have

After his deal with the bank, Jack quickly drove home in his Range Rover sports car to meet Blade.Blade, who was at the bar of the house right beside the living room, was sipping his wine. He exhaled heavily as he became aware that Jack had come back unnoticed and was watching him. He noticed Jack was visibly angry.Blade quickly nudged Jack to join in the drink, but even before he could say it, Jack’s gaze met his. They both reacted reflexively while he joined him on the couch.“You don't seem to look well. Are you alright?” Blade asked, his face immersed in concern as he stretched his hand to check his body temperature.Jack shrugged with a weak smile, knowing well that Blade may not agree with his thoughts. “Yeah, I'm good. I just didn't have a good sleep last night before I left for the bank this morning.”“That sounds almost like a lie, young master,” Blade chuckled, forcing Jack to burst out a slight laugh at the expression on his face while he smiled. “Coming from someone who

Blade storms in, usually unannounced, but that's most likely at the end of the day, when Jack will be done with his scheduled plan for the day.Jack had introduced Blade to Kate as his best friend and emphasized that he should always be allowed to come around without prior invitation. So Jack wasn't too surprised to see him come in without his notifications, he was only concerned with the timing.As Blade walked in, he observed the office hum with activity, noticing Jack was professionally and diligently working on a diverse client's account. Blade was admiring the decorative wall portraits like he was just seeing them for the first time.“Boss of all bosses,” Blade teased lightly.“You never go out of style with coming up with those hyping words of yours,” Jack said. “Please, have a seat, Blade.”“Thanks, boss,” he replied and sat down as he removed his black shades and placed them on the table.“So, to what do I owe this unusual visit?”“You call it usual?” He smirked at the thought
