Hello dear readers, sorry for the slow update. I haven't been feeling too well and I have a ton of assignments and other projects going on. Nevertheless, be rest assured that I will be updating the book no matter what. Thanks for your understanding 🤗🤗🤗
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
Grabbing his daughter into his arms, Jake patted her head as he hugged her. His daughter crying in front of him was the worst punishment anyone could give him and he didn't like it. “Juliet, where is your mother? Did you come alone?” Jake asked as he looked at his daughter's face helping her clean her tears off. “ I ran away from school. Is it true? You are going to marry another woman and then, our family won't be complete? Grandfather said he was going to send me off to an orphanage if you didn't come back." Jake heard Juliet say making him scoff as he looked at her. It was a monstrous thing to do. The fact that Abraham told such a thing to an 11 year old girl made his heart break from the cruelty. It was okay if they didn't like him. He had always discriminated against him and that was fine. He was able to bear it all. But his own granddaughter. How could he be so cruel to his own granddaughter? “ Did you say you came alone? Let's go. Let's go, princess." Jake said as he held h
Heading over to Alexa, Jake took her hand pulling her behind him. “Enough. I think this house is enough for all of us to live in. It shouldn't be a problem as long as we don't cross parts with each other." Jake said making Scarlett laugh. " Fine. Alexa can stay ” Scarlett said as she opened her phone doing something. " What are you doing? What the hell are you doing?” Alexa asked walking over to Scarlett to try and grab her phone. Unfortunately Scarlett was faster. “ What does it look like I am doing? Calling the police. I think they would be happy to know what your brother did. Have you forgotten? What? You thought that because your boyfriend suddenly has the house, you can come back? The only time you can return back to this house is when one of us is dead. Do you hear me? Dead!” Scarlett said screaming before she continued to tap her phone. Watching Alexa fall to her knees, Jake stepped forward suprised. Scarlett had something on Alexa's brother? What was it? It had to be some
(Thunder)Through the small cell window at the top, he could see it. The fact that it was about to rain. Lightening moved around the sky scaring most people because they thought that there was going to be a huge storm. Many of their cells had become wet and damp because of it making them fall sick. The prison wardens didn't care at all. If they were sick or dying. “ Aren't you not afraid? The thunderstorms are getting louder." One of the prisoners asked as they looked at him. What did he have to be afraid of? He had been locked up away for 11 years. His heart had slowly turned into stone along with the time that had passed by. Scoffing at the prisoner had asked him, he knew that the same would happen to him very soon too. “ Help! Someone is having an allergic reaction to the cold. Please bring us some blankets." He heard one of the prisoner from another cell yell on the top of his voice. No one would come. No matter what hardship you were going through, no matter how many time
Walking out of the room, Jake headed to meet Alejandro. This time, he wasn't alone. His godfather, Mr. Zak Franco had given him some people to go with. These people were his family inside here. With lots of money and connections, Franco formed his own group that was feared by everyone. They never looked for trouble though. They were very mature and minded their own business without causing trouble. Why was Franco in jail? “ Alejandro. Someone is looking for you." One of the prisoners said as he entered the room. Alejandro. A 6’6 tall muscled man who didn't care a sh** about the world. He had gotten into prison for killing his wife's entire family in one sitting. The news had said he had held all of them hostage and had tortured them for days before setting them on fire in a car. This was how evil he was. When the police tried to ask him why he did it, he gave no response. Some said he was a psychopath. Others said he was invisible because they knew he couldn't be held inside for lon
Finally. The dark days suddenly left like a dream and the light he had not seen for a while had finally come. He was leaving prison. After 12 years of being stuck without hope, he had a chance. He wanted to know everything. What had happened to his girlfriend, Khloe? And why he had not seen her even once after he had been sentenced. Was she dead? Or was she alive? The entire hall gathered with people who were cheering and slapping for him immediately after he came out. He had not expected it but it showed his life had not been all bad. Smiling as he passed through, Jake walked through as they patted his back congratulating him. “God father." Jake said as he ran to meet Franco who was standing near the door. “ Look at you. When I first met you, you were a teenager. You were so scared and sad because of this place. Look at you now. All the people you have saved came out to see you out. Good luck. Remember what I told you. Keep this for me too." Jake heard Franco say as he placed it i
“What? What did you say? You saw Jake? I didn’t hear that he was released from prison. What if he comes here?” Khloe asked as she looked around the room wondering what to do. It felt like her entire world was finally crashing down. Today was her wedding day and she wasn’t planning on throwing away her hard work because of something that happened in the past. “ Why are you already behaving as if you are going to die any time soon? He won’t come here. You and I know that he will be too embarrassed to do so. You should just relax and go ahead with your marriage. Your father will kill you if anything bad happens today.” Anna said smiling. “ You are right. My dad will murder me. Where is Juliet? Is she okay?” Khloe asked as she looked around searching for her daughter. “ She is probably playing around with our children. Let’s get you ready quick.” Nicole said as she signaled Anna to get up. The wedding was going just as she had planned. Looking through the window, she saw Theodore st
