Jack left the club soon, content with the way he had navigated the mission. He got on his bike and put on his jacket, turning on the ignition. He was now supposed to head back to the established meeting place, at Megan's apartment in the city. He drove through bustling city streets with purpose, deciding to pick up two pizzas on the way. He got off the bike, pretending to be a delivery person in a leather jacket, pizza boxes in his hand and a baseball cap covering most of his face. He did not want to draw any attention to her apartment or leave any clue about her being related to the Scavenger Organization. As he approached Megan's apartment building, he scanned the area with a practiced eye, ensuring that no prying eyes were lingering on his movements.The anonymity of his attire gave him some degree of protection as he slipped into the building, his steps deliberate and controlled. Inside the elevator, he adopted an air of indifference, avoiding eye contact with the other passeng
The next day, at the Giorgio Estate in Clemensdale… Megan was not only clad in her guise as Amelia Giorgio, but she was carrying all the mannerisms and airs of elegance that suited a perfectly trained lady of high society. She had paired a stylish collared white striped shirt with a form- fitting gray tunic, which accentuated her poise and sophistication. With her hair swept up into a carefully styled messy bun and her lips adorned with red lipstick, she commanded attention as she moved gracefully through the gathering.Gathered there today, in front of her stood the core members of the Giorgio family, including Lucas Giorgio, his wife, their sons, the grandmother, and various other relatives. Megan's eyes swept over the assembled group, taking note of each person's presence and demeanor.Meanwhile, Jack stood at her side in a tailored black suit as per usual, his attention focused intently on the proceedings unfolding before them.The grandmother opened up her arms in a welcoming
Hearing his wife's words, Lucas knew that she wasn't just saying any random thoughts that were coming in her mind, rather she was talking about a very logical point that should not be ignored.And on top of that, she had always been loyal to him and was talking about the things that could be used against him only. This was one of her best traits, that had always made her loveable in his eyes, and this is why he loved her so much.Because everything was under his control, he was aware about this; and probably, this was the right time he should let her know about it too.Thinking this he turned towards her and grabbing her hands in his own, he spoke while looking into her eyes;"Everything is under control, my darling," he spoke soothingly.Lucas finally reassured his wife, as his voice was completely calm and reassuring amidst her frantic outburst.And he continued;"Even if she is back, it doesn't mean she knows something. Besides, there is no one who can tell her anything about what
Once he was finally back in his room, Jack finally had the mental bandwidth to unpack the day's events; and his thoughts first turned to wonder what Megan was trying to do.He clearly remembered the fact that he had seen something related to the drug cartel in the contents of that pen drive, then why did she lie to him… not outright, but she had definitely tried to intercept him and redirect his attention. He had known Megan for ages, and he knew for a fact that she wasn't the type to lie or deceive someone. In fact, she had always been one of the most loyal people he had ever encountered in his life.That's why, he had trusted her with not just the matters of Scavenger, but he had entrusted him with the care of his own family! There had been many incidents in the past where she had helped him, even going out of her way to do it. In fact, she was still helping him to manage everything in his life, rather than just being a subordinate to his job.But then again, there was this feelin
Even though Amy had decided that she would go home first, to calm down her mind and she would call Jack later. But after she crossed the road, her mind changed for a second and she dialed Jack's number, but before it would have rang, she disconnected the call, scolding herself in her mind."Amy, you really need to calm your horses and remember that Mr. Turner has already cleared the fact to you, that you are just an employee to him. So making things easy for you wasn't a way to help you out, instead it was a way for him by which he can have you near his family twenty four and seven.""Amy, do you really call yourself a human, how can you even imagine these horrendous things for someone who is doing uncountable favors to you…"Two voices started to echo in Amy's mind and she somehow managed to snuff them out, before she started to walk towards the home.After she reached home, she found out that Dottie and Ana were playing with their grandma.She decided that she would directly go to h
Megan stands with an air of confidence, her posture poised and her gaze steady as she addresses Jack's concerns. "Lucas Giorgio is planning to attend a party on the Borvenna cruise," she begins, her voice calm and assured.Jack raises an eyebrow, his skepticism evident. "And how do you plan to gain access to this party?" he asks, his tone tinged with doubt. "Do you even know when it is or who's on the guest list?"Megan tosses her hair back with a confident smirk, her eyes sparkling with determination as she responds to Jack's concerns. "The party on the Borvenna cruise? Please," she scoffs, her voice dripping with self-assurance. "Do you forget who I am? I am Amelia Giorgio, darling, and if I decide to grace that party with my presence, doors will open wide for me."She saunters across the room, her movements graceful and assured, as if already envisioning herself at the center of the event. "You worry too much, Jack," she continues, a hint of amusement in her voice. "A simple pa
Jack's voice cut through the tense atmosphere, his words drawing Megan's attention back to the laptop screen. "Yes, as I said," he continued, his tone steady, "the layout is different here. Look carefully."Megan's eyes scanned the screen, while she was scolding herself brutally.How could she have been so careless? She frowned as her eyes pored over the names of all the files present on this drive, cursing the carelessness that had led to this potentially disastrous situation. She thought to herself, keeping her frustration contained with great difficulty. "Fuck me, I left this evidence here somehow, how did I oversee this? And damn him, did he also have to catch my error right away?!"Before she could think of a plan to hide her mistake, her thoughts were interrupted by the ringtone of Jack's phone. With a furrowed brow, Jack reached for his phone, his expression shifting as he glanced at the caller ID."Oh, it's Anna," he said, his voice softening with recognition. "I must take
Jack was still in the confusion of what he should do or not, there was a fair chance that Rebecca would definitely try to contact Anna and Dottie in his absence.Or worse ….to harm them….so there was no way that he could leave them there all alone by themselves.Nor can he leave his mother without any support, because he has seen that not only his daughters, but Rebecca was not afraid to hurt his mother too, as she has no moral left with her and he was quite sure about it.And Amy was indeed there to take good care of his family and she indeed does a good job in doing so, but that doesn't mean that he can leave everything on her and put the entire weight of taking care of his family and their protection on her shoulders.Because no matter how brave she was and how much dedicated she was towards his family, he can not completely trust her, as he has already seen the repercussions of blind trust on someone and he wasn't going to repeat the mistake ever again.Thinking this he has decide
