Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-47 : New plans!
Ch-47As Jack stood on the balcony of his room, the gentle night breeze tousled his hair, carrying away the wisps of smoke from his cigarette. He took a long drag from his cigarette, the burning tip glowing brightly in the darkness as he exhaled a cloud of smoke.The moon cast a soft glow on his chiseled features, highlighting the lines of determination etched into his face. He had just come back from his daughter's bedroom, after putting them to sleep. They had insisted that he had to read at least six stories to them, to make up for missing so many days.Although both of them had fallen asleep during the second story itself, he had stayed behind for a while longer before returning to his room. His hair was still damp from the shower as strands of dark hair clung to his forehead. With a dark blue satin robe tied around his waist, the fabric clung to his toned physique. The robe hung loosely around him, revealing glimpses of his sculpted pecs and defined abs beneath.With one hand r

Before anyone could react, Jack continued;"So pack up, because we are leaving this afternoon." Helen beamed with happiness and said, "Oh, Jack! That's really great, the girls will have so much fun. Make sure to send me photos, okay?" Jack shook his head, interrupting her in the middle;"Mom, what are you talking about? Obviously, you are also coming with us." Helen hesitated a little, before continuing; "But what would I do there, except hold you all back from enjoying the surroundings?" Jack's tone turned firm as he promptly shut down the argument, "I am not hearing any of this."She had been apprehensive till now, as Rebecca had never liked the fact that Helen was so involved in her daughter's lives, and always saw it as her intruding on their own family dynamics.However, Rebecca had never said anything about it to Jack, which is why he was confused about his mother's reaction.Rather, his ex- wife used to threaten Helen in private, saying that she needed to stay away from the

Their spirits were also running high, for their plan of visiting the South Beach in Miami.

Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-50 : Polaroids!
Jack returned to the hotel just as the sun completed its journey across the sky. It was just past lunch time, so he assumed that the others might still be at the beach. As he approached his room, he fished his key card from his pocket, ready to slide it into the door lock.However, before he could make a move, the door clicked open from the inside, startling him. The worst and most horrific scenarios about what this could mean flashed in his mind and he instinctively stepped back as someone opened the door.But to his relief and surprise, it was none other than Amy who emerged from the room, her eyes widening in surprise as she nearly collided with him.Thankfully, she managed to catch herself just in time; but in that moment of awkwardness, Jack and Amy found themselves locked in a silent exchange.

But as she got ready for the day and stepped out into the hotel lobby, little did she know that Jack had already made other plans for the day— plans that didn't involve sneaking off.

Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-52 : Seagulls!
Dottie's sudden arrival made Jack realize what he was just about to say, and he scolded himself thoroughly for almost letting his guard down.This was not the time to forget about the importance of maintaining distance and independence in his relationships. He could not afford to create false expectations in someone's mind, or allow anyone to rely on him too heavily.There were no romantic thoughts clouding his mind, but still, he wanted to be as cautious as possible to not encourage any kind of dynamic where the other person would take his presence for granted, or even assume that he would be around, whenever they needed him. Turning his attention to Amy, he expected to find her in a slightly annoyed mood towards Dottie for her interruption. But to his surprise, Amy had already shifted her focus to Dottie, stepping around him. Right now, she was kneeling beside her and engaging her in conversation, flipping through the book herself;"Did you really like this book, Dottie?"The gi
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-53 : ER Visit
With a groan, Amy turned over to her bedside table, fishing for her phone and tapping the screen to check the time.12:22 AM.It was just past midnight, and Amy's heart raced as she heard the faint cries from the neighboring room, which had woken her up in the first place. It took a few moments for her to remember that they were at a hotel in Miami, and the room next to her was where the children were. Feeling her panic rising, she sat up and quickly grabbed her hair tie and glasses from the table. As she made her way to the door, she caught a glimpse of herself in the wardrobe mirror in the dim light, dressed in her pajamas. For a moment, she hesitated, her own reflection mirroring her uncertainty. But the sound of the cries pulled her back to reality, her concern overriding any self- consciousness.Without another thought, Amy dashed out of her room and down the hall towards Jack's room. But as soon as she reached Jack's door, her hand hovered with some uncertainty, hesitating

As Jack sat beside Amy in the hospital waiting room, his mind was consumed by a loud uproar of emotions and thoughts.He could not shake off the feeling of discomfort that had been gnawing at him for the past few days.

But whenever it came to the reality of the situation, he couldn't ignore the fact that the line had blurred!And if this issue was not addressed as soon as possible, then things might end up worsening from there. In any case, why did the line tend to get so blurry between his carefully constructed boundaries and the messy reality of human relationships?
