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
Megan's voice carried a sense of urgency as she laid out the next steps of their plan.She knew she had to rush everything, if she wanted herself to be saved from getting caught, or else Jack had always been smart enough to catch anyone… Even though he is a complete stranger to them! Then here, he was already familiar with her and knew very well. Therefore, hiding something from him was going to be tough and with this thought she finally spoke;"Right now! In a sense, we have already started the core mission, and from now on, we have to stay in character at all times," she declares, her tone was firm and authoritative to some extent.She turns her attention to Jack, her gaze unwavering. "From now, I will need to assimilate into the high society, and what do you know, the invitations have already begun to pile up."With a smile, she gestured towards the stack of envelopes laid out on the side table, all in different pastel hues with metallic accents.She continued,"You will come wit
Time has a very simple phenomenon of its own, that is, it can never stop for a living thing… and those who believe that time stops for the dead are extremely wrong, since it doesn't stop for them as well…. it's just that they are not alive anymore, to experience the flow of time.But even though the love and affection Jack once had for Rebecca had died in his heart, time had not stopped there. Instead, it had started to rush with even more intensity, carrying the anger and disgust for her in the same place where he had made the grave for that once- existing love.Thinking all this, he sat in his room, the early morning light filtering in through the curtains as he sipped on a cup of coffee. It was early morning on a Sunday, and Megan had arrived with him to Aspenhurst just a few hours ago.Although Megan was quite eager to accompany him home, he had asked her to wait until evening before meeting everyone. And right now, he himself was waiting for the moment when the girls would wake u
