Abraham and Khloe continued to welcome all the guests that came in personally. They were all wealthy people that could be used which made them important. Suddenly, people around them started to gasp in shock gaining their attention. Looking back, they saw a shocking scene.
Jake was holding Alexa's hand as they walked in.Suprised by what was going on, Abraham stepped forward leaving what he was doing and Khloe followed. This was unacceptable. Especially since most of the people here had been at Khloe's wedding before. They already knew that Jake was Khloe's hidden husband.“ Mr. Fisher, long time no see. How have you been doing? Hope your health is better now?” Jake heard Alexa ask as he stood with her.It was obvious that she was finding trouble but he didn't care. Since they didn't want him there, they would have to take it as they saw him.“ Is this a joke? Don't you know that Jake is a married man? You were at Khloe's wedding." Abraham said in distain as he looked at Alexa.“ Oh, the wedding where she wanted to marry someone without telling them that she had been married before? Is it that wedding? I definitely attended it." Alexa said smiling." You!” Abraham said about to raise his hand at Alexa when Jake stepped forward to stop him.“ I wouldn't advise you to do that, Mr. Fisher. Alexa is a part of my family. And I won't allow anyone to be rude to her." A voice said making everyone step back.Turning around, Jake watched as a woman stepped forward walking in short strides as she moved. Her face was stern but her entire body was screaming how rich she was. From the diamond necklace on her neck to the braclets and her shoes, they were all expensive in six zeroes.“ Sister." Alexa said surprising Jake.He had gotten information about his godfather's family the other day while he heard them talk but he had not met any other person except for Alexa. Who was she? And was she a legal child or an illegitimate one?“ Mrs. Franco. We didn't expect you would actually come. Please." Jake heard his father-in-law say making him suprised.His father-in-law had clearly expressed his displeasure with the Franco family. Why had he now invited them to Kennedy's campaign?“Stop causing a scene and come inside." Jake heard the stern woman say before walking away.Watching the men she had come with enter with her, Jake knew she was a woman of power. Nodding her head, Alexa stepped forward still holding Jake's hand as they attempted to follow but was stopped.“ What are you doing?” Alexa asked as she looked at Abraham who was holding Jake's other hand to stop him.“ Can I talk to my son-in-law for a moment?" Abraham asked with a smile but Jake knew better. It wouldn't be good.“ He's my escort for the night. I can't let him leave my side. You can get talk to him later when he gets home, don't you think?" Jake heard Alexa ask in a serious tone making him almost break out in laughter at her face.“ Alexa. I said you should follow me. What are you waiting for?” Jake heard Alexa’s sister ask again making him look at his father-in-law's face.He was clearly not happy. Knowing his father-in-law, he wasn't one to give in for anybody. But yet, he moved out of the way.“ Thank you." Jake heard Alexa say as they entered inside.The hall was very beautifully decorated with lots of tables and food on them. The big stage had a beautiful clear glass stand in the middle while at the back was three king-size chairs that were talk had golden coloured. The flowers around the hall were obviously picked fresh and they had been tied and decorated beautifully. Walking in with Alexa, Jake felt all eyes on them from the very beginning. To be honest, they were on the woman who was walking in front of them. Whoever she was, she was obviously well respected by the people around too.“ Have a sit.” Jake heard one of the waitresses say as she pointed her hand to the tables near the side.It was a perfect spot considering he wanted to be away from the eyes of people.“Isn't that Khloe's husband?"" It's him. I watched the video on the news. He's the one that gatecrashed Khloe's wedding.” Jake heard one of the guests say as he took his seat with Alexa.The dinner party started and Jake watched as the doors opened revealing his father-in-law and his family. While his father-in-law was in front, Khloe and Kenneth were at the back smiling and waving their hands as the guests clapped for them. From the eyes of others, they looked very dignified and elegant while in his eyes, they looked very disgusting.“ Thank you all for coming to this party. It shows that you all are our loyalty friends that share the same goal as we do. Ever since Kenneth was a little boy, he had dreamed of helping our country. Helping to build it and work hard in contributing to it's prosperity. This is what he plans to do when he is elected as Mayor. I hope that all of you can join in helping him and making this country, great!” Jake heard Abraham say making him scoff.After they had done a big cheer of celebration with the crowd, Jake watched Alexa excuse herself as she left to the bathroom. Being all alone with her sister, Jake knew he had to make a move now that he had the chance.“ I don't think we have met before. I am Jake. Jake Moss." Jake said with a smile as he placed his card in front of her while he took his seat.“ And I don't want to meet you. Whoever you are cannot be good. You're with Alexa.” Jake heard her say as she sneered before facing away.“ Because we haven't met. What's your name?” Jake asked.“That's Scarlett. She is the heiress to the Franco fortune.” Jake heard Alexa say in a rude tone as she returned to her seat.“ Your new boyfriend is cheap. You shouldn't keep him." Jake heard Scarlett say." He's not my boyfriend.” Jake heard Alexa say in a cold tone making him feel awkward.It was obvious they didn't get along with each other in private. Still, Samantha had helped him to get in. Reaching for the wine bottle in the middle of the table, Jake poured a little for Samantha before doing the same for himself. She was his ticket to getting what he wanted.“ Cheers.” Jake said with a smile as he looked at Samantha.The party ended and Jake decided to head back home. This time, he didn’t climb in through the window but decided to walk in through the front door.(Punch!)Falling to the ground, Jake's eyes widened as he saw his father-in-law and his wife standing in front of him.“How?” Jake asked as he moved back using his hands to get as far as possible from them.“How dare you embarrass me in front of everyone? How can you humiltae me like this?” Khloe asked as she walked towards Jake looking at him with murderous intent.Slapping Jake hard across the face, Khloe watched as he fell to the ground. His face immediately became red as her handprint appeared on the side of the face.“ Daddy!” Juliet's loud panicked voice echoed through the house making Jake's eyes widen as he realized that his daughter had come out.Raising his head, Jake watched as she almost ran to meet him but was stopped by one of the guards.“Leave her alone. Leave her alone!” Jake screamed on the top of his voice as he watched his daughter struggle.“Let her go." Khloe said looking at the guard.“Don’t let her go.” Abraham said immediately stopping the guard.“He is harming her. She is still a child.” Khloe said angering Abraham. Reaching out to her, Abraham slapped her hard causing her to fall to the ground with Jake.“ So what? Who are you to question my orders now? Lock her up immediately.” Abraham said as he signaled the guard.Groaning as he stood up, Jake tried to go after the men holding Juliet. Even though he had broken a few ribs, he wasn't going to allow them lock her up again. Just as he was about to go and attack them, the door bell rang stopping him and the men in their tracks. Watching his father-in-law glance at the maids to open the door, Jake cleaned his mouth as he looked at his daughter. He didn't want her to see him like this. “ Is this the Fisher family house?” A man asked at the door making the air fill of tension. Watching the maid whisper some things at the door, Jake looked around and saw that their attention was focused on what was happening. Glancing at his daughter, Jake signaled her what to do to get out of the grasp of the person holding her. Just as he had instructed, Juliet bit the hand of the man that had been holding her surprising him. The sudden scream of the man immediately startled everyone as they turned their attention towards him. “ Was that a scream I heard just now?”
Unable to get over his parents death, Jake returned back to the restaurant. Even though the police claimed that they were looking for their murders, he knew better. They had not even found the handkerchief that was near the door. But who exactly did it belong to? “Hello. Are you the son of the owners of this place?" Jake heard a middle aged woman say as she came into the restaurant. Standing up from his chair, Jake nodded his head slowly wondering what she wanted. She didn't look like anyone dangerous since ehe was dressed in a corporate outfit. “Yes, I am their son. Jake Moss. Who are you?" Jake asked as he used his arm to clean his face. “ I am from the bank. Your parents are now gone therefore you should vacate this place as soon as possible.” Jake heard the middle aged woman say. “ What do you mean by that? This place belongs to my parents." Jake argued. " No. It belongs to Abraham Fisher. This building is a property of the Fisher family therefore you should leave as soon as
Watching the Fisher family lawyer move away to call someone, Jake drew closer to meet Alexa whispering in her ear. “ Are you sure this will work?" Jake asked watching as she turned to look at him. Her cute little smile was enchanting as she looked at him for a brief second. For the first time since they had come here, he noticed what she was wearing. A short leather skirt with a matching black leather jacket and a white crop top shirt inside. Her leather boots were long reaching up to her knees but it didn't cover her beautiful slim thighs that looked so glossy and perfect. He was already imagining himself doing all sort of crazy things to her as he held her thighs up. “ This isn't good.” Jake muttered under his breath as he turned away. “ Did you say something?” Alexa asked immediately making him stunned. “ Nope. I didn't say anything. Did you hear something?” Jake asked trying hard to cover things up. Just then, the Fisher family lawyer returned back looking at the two of them
Few weeks later, Jake came out of the cab looking at one of the biggest courthouses in the state. Many influencial judges had been assigned to that courthouse therefore making the place very famous. Looking at the courthouse, Jake couldn't help but feel worried as he watched many people come out of it. Some of them had smiles on their faces while others were crying. What exactly was going to be his fate today? “ The court will be taking the two deeds for examination. You will get a result next week. Case dismissed." Jake heard the male judge say as he hit his little hammer on the table before leaving. Looking at Alexa, Jake shook his head smiling. This was why she had been so confident before. “ I didn't know you were a lawyer. Is this why you were adamant about us meeting in the court? No wonder." Abraham said as he giggled looking at Alexa but she didn't seem fazed at all. “ Don't worry, Mr. Fisher. The court now has both the deeds to the restaurant. I suggest that you yield. Th
“What are you doing here? Where have you been?" Jake asked Alexa as he looked at her. “ What are you doing here? Do you have a guest?" Alexa asked as she stood in front of the door looking behind Jake. She already guessed there was someone inside. She wouldn't have gotten the message if the person didn't want her to catch Jake together with her. She just wanted to know who it was. “ Now is not the right time. Maybe you should co-" Jake said cut off as Alexa pushed him entering inside. “ Hello dear sister." Scarlett said as she waved her hand smiling at Alexa. The air in the room seemed to have become hot all of a sudden. Following behind Alexa, Jake paused as he watched the interaction between the two sisters. He had no idea how she had gotten to his room but he had no explanation to give Alexa either. The Franco children were all fighting over the inheritance of their father. Since he had already sided with Alexa, he did it want her thinking that he had betrayed her. “ Listen,
“What do you mean something to hide? I have an appointment. That's why I am asking." Keira said as she cleared her throat awkwardly. Despite the fact she was acting suspicious, all her siblings knew that she couldn't be the one. She was too dumb to do such a thing. “ Miss Zac Franco Junior, please tell me where you were last night?" Jake heard the police officer ask as he questioned the first member of the Franco family. “ I was in London. You can ask my roommate. I was in the dorm all day and decided to go out partying in the night. My name even got caught up for a brief moment on the news. I heard about it this morning and flew down here immediately." Jake heard Scarlett's brother say as he brought out his phone showing the police officer. Watching the police officer gaze at the phone, Jake couldn't tell if the police officer had caught him lying or not. His godfather had once talked about the young boy he had given his name too. Zac was a was a young boy that you'd call the part
After the interrogation of all his godfather's children, Jake finally returned back with Alexa. He was already feeling guilty about what had happened in the morning and he could see that she wasn't mentally stable to be alone. Arriving at her house, Jake parked Alexa's car which he had driven and helped her out. Unlike the houses of the other children, Jake realized that she had been living in a normal bungalow house that looked very cozy. “ This is where you live?" Jake asked as he looked around the living room that looked a little bit more spacious than he had imagined. Although it had plain, Jake noticed that it had been designed with luxurious items in little details that won't easily be noticed such as the huge gold chandelier that hung from the roof in the middle of the parlor, the jade vase that was on the middle table and other things. In conclusion, Alexa was indeed not like the others. “ You already know. I am just a low life illegitimate daughter. All my life, I was bull
The shocked expression on faces around him suddenly made Jake feel something was wrong. Why would his godfather give him a house that was worth so much? This would automatically make him a target. “Are you sure that the house was really given to me? Is that what my godfather said?” Jake asked as he looked at the lawyer. “ Yes. It's written in bold letters in the will. Okay, I am done with my work here. I will get going." The lawyer said as he got up about to leave when Ashton stood up. “ Does this make sense? We are his children. Does he feel that it is only Scarlett and Alexa he wronged all through his life? What about us too? What about me and Zac? Was she not also our mother?” Ashton asked. “ Enough. There is no need for this to cause a discord among us. I can transfer my shares between you and Zac. I still have the shares in our mother's company. I can also give those to you. You are my brother. You should know that there is nothing I won't give to you.” Jake heard Scarlett sa
