Thomas feels like this is a dream. Vance returns to them like a dog with its tail between its legs. They obviously don't know what happened on the phone, but it's clear that whatever it was, it has left Vance with this humiliated look on his face. He approaches the table again, his shoulders dropped. “Uh, Andrew. I'm sorry for my outburst. It was inappropriate.” Everyone is shocked to their bones. Why the sudden change of mind? Why has Vance turned so meek and is willingly apologizing? “And, uh, Thomas. I'm sorry for calling you a fraudster. Clearly, you have better character than I do. Forgive me.” Vance doesn't want for the others to react to him, surprisingly taking back every insult that he gave to Thomas. He turns around and disappears. The men gather around Thomas with excitement in their eyes. Never in their lifetime did they think that they would see Vance apologize. “Are you a magician, Thomas?! How did Vance apologize to you so easily?” “I don't know, maybe he just

He is here because he has gotten a job, his first since he came to New York. He hasn't worked in a long time and it's because he has been bent on helping his brother to find the people who killed their parents and little sister. Now he has gotten bored and he checked through his requests and by mere coincidence, he found out that someone in New York wants to take out a target here. It's convenient for him.

Saint steps out of his car and walks towards them. “Are you crazy, put me down!” Ella hits her fiance. “Who have you been out with all night? Don't fucking play with me!” He shouts. “I wasn't the one who cheated, was I?” She barks at him. “Hey!” Saints gives her fiance one push and he lets go of Ella immediately. Saint stands in front of Ella, protecting her from her crazy ex. Her ex adjusts his jacket angrily. He doesn't start fighting with Saint because he can tell that Andrew is strong and will whoop his ass. He is breathing in angry, loud puffs. “Is this him?! Is this the man you are fucking now?!” “Don't be ridiculous, James! It was you who went and cheated on me with that shank!” She yells with pain in her heart. “Shut up, I can sleep with as many women as I want! Know your place and shut the hell up!” “That's enough now, really.” Saint warns him. “You have said enough and I mean it.” “Who the fuck do you think you are?!” James shouts at Saint. “You are her secret boyf

Saint had fallen asleep without even eating last night. He has been very much engrossed in finding as much as possible about James Jackson, that he fell asleep with his laptop by his side. He wakes up with a banging headache and the sound of the doorbell trying consistently going off. He kicks the blanket off himself, thank God that he is still clothed, so he goes to answer the door. His anger only intensifies when he sees Adriana Sanchez standing at his front door with a huge grin, two cups of coffee, and some croissants. “You've got to be kidding me,” he mutters as he rubs his eyes. “Mister Saint, hi.” She keeps the smile on. “Adriana Sanchez, what are you doing here? Don't tell me that my brother gave you my address!” “He didn't, I found it out myself,” she looks down at her feet. “Are you going to allow me to come in? Looks like you just woke up, but no worries, I brought you some coffee!” “What makes you think that I want your damn coffee?” He squints with displeasure.

Adriana is very excited for the date that she is going to have with James Jackson. She puts on a very seductive blue dress. It has a high slit and also barely gives her cleavage any covering. This is the perfect dress because she knows that it's going to distract James, while she carries out her mission. Afterwards, Saint Carter will have no other choice but to give her the information of the anonymous partner. On the bed, Jasper sits down as he glares at her. She is sitting by the mirror applying makeup to her face. He had tried to get her not to go, but she stood her ground and there is nothing he can do about it. He has been ignoring her and working on his laptop, but now she has put on one of her most seducing gowns and he can't believe that she is wearing it to see another man. “Adriana, why are you doing this?” He asks. *I told you that you can leave your grandfather's company. My father is going to make sure that you get a good job.” “And I've told you before, Jasper, I

Adriana's stomach forms knots of anxiety, james' cold eyes are piercing her soul. She immediately starts to laugh and shakes her head in denial. “Come on, James, I wasn't feeling for your phone. I was just trying to make out with you.” “Bullshit,” he snorts. “I've been asking you out for years now and you agree to it now? Even when you know that I am engaged? Is that how morally low you are right now?” Adriana pushes her hair away from her face and laughs. Her heart is racing in her chest, she knows that she has been caught. This should be her chance to run away from James Jackson, but she won't give up now. She leans forward again and gives him another kiss. James doesn't even try to stop her. He runs his hand through her hair, encouraging the kiss. “Come follow me to my hotel room.” He says to her. “I don't fancy the idea of making out in front of all these people.” She nods in agreement, not because she wants to have sex with him, but because she thinks it's going to work o

Adriana turn around to make sure that they are not hit, but she sees Tina holding her abdomen and her fingers are tainted with blood. “Don't stop, go!” She yells at them. So they keep running until they get into their car. Thankfully, Jasper came in a cab, not a personal car. He takes the key from Adriana and jumps into the driver's seat. Tina shuts the door after Adriana, she is getting weak from the gunshot. “Fucking James Jackson! I am going to make sure that he regrets this! I am going to call the police!” Jasper mutters. “Hey, you got out well and alive. You don't know how dangerous that guy is, so I will advise you to just walk away.” Tina warns. “This never happened, you will be lucky if he doesn't come for you.” Jasper and Adriana looks at each other they have no recovered from the trauma that the encounter of James has left them.

Surprisingly, she allows him to drive her to her hotel. He said that he is going to take his car and he will see to it that her car is delivered to her hotel, first thing in the morning. When they get into his G wagon, she leans against the headrest and shuts her eyes. He divides his attention between driving the car and keeping an eye on her. He hates to see her hurt like this. He hates to see that she is constantly putting herself in harm's way. She opens her eyes suddenly, locking eyes with him. “Why do you keep doing this?” He asks her. “Keep doing what?” “Why do you keep putting yourself in harm's way? Almost every time I see you, you are dodging bullets or firing a gun.” His voice is heavy with worry. “Too bad I couldn't dodge this one,” she jokes as she looks out of the window. “That's not even funny. Why the hell are you so nonchalant about your life?” His jaw tightens. “Do you realize that you could have died today?” “But I didn't,” she smiles. “Isn't that a good th

Jasper doesn't know what to think of this. Andrew is the last person that he would expect to see at his dad's house. He looks around, waiting to see if the grand guest is here, but no, it's just Andrew. “What the fuck is going on?” Jasper snorts as he looks around. “Do you have a new gig as a driver? Did you drive my parents’ visitors here?” Andrew cocks his head with amusement on his face. This makes Jasper appear even more irritated. “Ahh, Mister Carter!” His father appears at the door and shakes Andrew's hand with so much respect. Andrew just stands by the side, wondering what's happening. “We have been waiting for hours! You came alone?! That's very unusual for a big man like you!” His father and Andrew are laughing as if they have known each other for a long time. Jasper is about to correct his father and tells him that he is wrong. Andrew is not a ‘big man'. His father leads Andrew into the house and he turns around to caution Jasper with anger. “How did you stand ther
