The bouncers pointed at the three men and Alberto's men went for them immediately. With a dirty slap, they sent the three of them sprawled on the floor. Jake touched his face and saw there was blood on it. He raised his hands and called out to Alberto.“Ahhh. There's blood on the young master. They will pay for it ten folds. Pray, young master, don't escalate the issue. I will handle it, please.”Alberto gave more orders to his men to beat the four boys as well as the bouncers to pulp. Bones were cracked, faces were disfigured and they men yelled pleaded for mercy. Jake took out his phone again and sent a text to Richard. “Get rid of Mr Presley of Medo Hall company right now!”A minute later, he received a text from Richard,“Done sir!”Jake put his phone back into his pocket and smiled to himself. “Never in your lives will you all mess with me.”He went out of the hall and got to the back where Alberto and his men were dealing with the culprits. When Alberto saw him, he asked,“S
“It's a certain handsome man with the last name Rang. He's said to be a foreigner because it was his bank account that was used to make the payment for the purchasing of the company. We will find him in the near future!”Jake heaved a sigh of relief. He wasn't caught. He had made a smart move when he asked Richard to make the payment for that company with a legal business name. “That's great. Soonest the man would be found and you will thank him in person,” he intoned. “That's right. I need to thank him so much for elevating me. He's my benefactor and that reminds me, my dear friend. In two weeks, everything will be ready and I'll have the right to assign roles. Send in your CV so that I'll put you in the list for the qualified workers. You know that you are a graduate and deserve a better job too!”“Oh right. I'll do that as soon as I get home, thank you very much,” Jake responded but he knew that he would definitely come up with an excuse. He couldn't trouble his friend to give h
Jake sent for his driver and instructed him to drive him to a well known hotel in the state. It happened that this hotel was owned by him, it was one of the companies under the Frederick conglomerate. He wanted to relax and enjoy a beautiful view. He got to the hotel and went straight to the VIP swimming pool. He took out his headphones, sat down and enjoyed both the music and the beautiful waters. “Tsk Tsk! Is this the cleaner or janitor? Hey! Who let you into this place?” Jake heard someone say. He opened his eyes and saw a neatly and smartly dressed young man. “Aha. It's you, poor thing? How did you crawl in here? You must have been sent here to clean and you ended up enjoying the VIP corner. Now, get out before I call the corps you fool!” This man's name is Liam and he and Jake were enemies. The reason was very simple. Liam had always had a huge crush on Sky, she was beautiful, smart and was from a rich family. In fact, she was the Kent family heiress, who would not love her? B
“You are going to hear from me today. In your next life, you will not dare offend me!” Liam screamed. He went in and asked for a towel from the life guards. He came out with the towel and kept pacing to and fro, waiting for his men to arrive and beat the hell out of Jake. But the next time he looked at the entrance, he saw able bodied young men coming in his direction. And they pulled along a middle aged man whom he could recognise at any time. His father! This was a man who was feared and respected in Shawlands. Yet, he was held by some riff raffs.“Hey! How dare you…” he began but was cut short with a slap from one of the men. “Shut up your mouth. And you better kneel and apologize right now!” “What? I will never! Wait. My men are coming and you will be the ones to get on your knees! Do you know who I am? Goodness gracious. What insolence!” he continued. “Dad! Why will they keep you here? Are they mad? Do they know who you are?”“Quiet or I'll have you slapped again,” the man thr
There was someone else who was angry with Jake's existence. That person was Amelia. This useless son in law of hers had outsmarted her and stolen her company from her. There was no way in hell she was going to let him get away with it. It didn't matter to her that he had gotten the best lawyers in the country to sign and seal the document. She was going to get the company back in her own way. She recalled the stunned look on her children's faces that day she announced that the company had been bought by another person. Everything came rushing to her memory as if it happened that day. “Mum! What happened in there? How can you say that someone else has bought the company? After all our hardwork and effort to get this exhibition put together. The proceeds alone would have made us one of the top five wealthy families!” Josie cried. “I'm sorry. It was unexpected but I will do my best to get the company back,” she promised. “Get it back? How do you intend to do that? We have already los
When he opened his eyes, he found himself alone in a room, his hands and feet were bound with strong ropes. His phone was no where to be found.“It's good you are awake,” a man whom he hadn't noticed earlier said. Jake looked in his direction and saw that two men were standing at one end of the room. “What happened? Where am I?” he asked. This question caused the men to laugh loudly. “We finally caught you in our den, you dog! You got our men injured and there's no way you are getting away with it.”He signalled his colleague and he bowed and left the room. When he reappeared, he was with a paper and beautiful pen. He pushed Jake roughly and said,“Sign this if you want to get out of this place alive!”Jake looked at the paper and frowned deeply. The Kent family were out to step on his toes again. Those foolish people haven't learnt their lessons yet. “I will never sign that.”As soon as the words left his mouth, the man who gave him the paper gave him a hot slap on his face. Jake'
These men looked at each other and kept calm. They all waited for their leader, Roger to speak. No one wanted to be in his bad books and the person who ratted him away about the phone knew he was soon to be dead. That's if he would survive the pain from Tim and his men. When he didn't get any answer, Tim ordered his men to flog them mercilessly. Yet, Roger didn't speak. This was the rule of the game. You don't give away your sponsor if you make mistakes in the deal. Moreover, Roger knew how schemy Amelia could be and he didn't want to incur her wrath. “What's this? What did you want to make him sign? Kent group?” One man asked. He has gone into the other room where he found the paper and the pen.“Did you say Kent group?” Tim asked. “Yes boss. Kent group is written on this paper. It means they are working for them. Maybe they want something from him.”“That settles it. When we are done with them, we will pay the Kent family a visit. For now, beat them and don't show any mercy!” Tim
Jake was woken by the door bell. His grandfather had personally sent someone to deliver his clothes to him. The clothes were made from the best materials and sewn by the best designers. It was a bespoke black attire consisting of a tailored peak tuxedo jacket adorned with intricate stitching and subtle embroidery. It also had matching trousers and a crisp white shirt, with detachable collar and french cuffs. The white shirt had slim silver and gold cufflinks and shirt stud set. A black bow tie was designed in a subtle manner to accompany the clothes. Finally, there was a golden wristwatch and a very beautiful pair of shoes to match. At a single glance, one could tell that the clothes cost way above six figures. Jake was rendered speechless at the sight of these clothes. It was like he was in a whole new world altogether. The clothes were fabulous and everything about it screamed perfection. Jake had never owned nor worn a cloth this beautiful in his entire life. Apart from the clothes
