Everything was going so smoothly, that for a moment, Jack was baffled how he could even be so lucky. He remembered clearly that ever since he had married Rebecca, he did not get a single day where he could have eaten his breakfast so peacefully.But today, everything felt so satisfying, so peaceful– that for a moment, he became fearful that he might be the one to jinx it.This was when he remembered that he had to go to the lawyer regarding the filing of the custody case.And with a gentle smile, he carefully lifted Dottie from his lap and settled her into her high chair, ensuring she was comfortable before addressing the rest of the family. He knew that no matter how dearly he was enjoying the moment, he had to leave so that he could return early and complete the rest of the tasks before leaving for his mission."Please enjoy your breakfast, my ladies," he said with an exaggerated bow, his eyes crinkling with affection as he glanced at Anna and Dottie. The sight of their smiles war
Jack eanedy in the worn leather armchair, his expression grave as he glanced towards Andres Mortimer before speaking. It was time to tell them the truth, and trust that he would be able to give him some valuable information in return."Of course, you know from first hand experience that the drug cartel is not what it seems." Jack began, his voice low and urgent. "But while I have been away and you have been in hiding, something has been going on here, right under our noses. I have looked into the recent operations of the drug cartel, trying to uncover their operations, and what I have found... it's not looking very well."Mortimer's eyes narrowed as he said this, but he quickly composed herself, his expression unreadable as he waited for Jack to continue."I have discovered that in just the past week or so, the Venom and Ravens factions have merged under the control of a new leader… known as Dominic." Jack explained, his voice tinged with frustration. Andres frowned;"But Dominic…
Mortimer was nervous as demeanor was showing timidness and uncertainty as he awaited Jack's response to his proposal.The tension in the air was thickening with each passing moment. And an uneasy silence was lingering between them, punctuated only by the soft murmur of conversation from nearby patrons in the coffee shop.The uneasiness was making his heart heavy with the thought that he might had offended Jack, as form all the things he has come to know about Jack was that he was really a very honest and loyal person, even though his wife has been a cheat and fraud , who has never cared about him or his children , he has never seen with any woman, even after he now had a fortune in his bank account.This can probably indicate towards one thing that there might be a chance that he is still in love with his ex wife.And as soon as this thought arrived in his mind the fact Jack hadn't replied anything yet, started haunting him more strongly as where he currently was he can't really af
Jack's POV :After I had left home today, there was already something in my heart that was telling me that something was going to happen.Something that would indeed be a solution, but it would be such a solution that I would never want from my side. Or even if I was left with the only option to go for it, then also it would make me think twice… Or rather, plenty of times as I don't know how it would fit on the grounds of morality that I have never compromised even after being a person working for the Scavenger Organization.Still I went to Mortimer, ignoring all my doubts, as I wanted to meet him in person and tell everything that was going inside my head, not because I had started to trust him… but because no matter how horrible he was as a person… he was one of the greatest lawyers of the city. And when it was the matter concerning my daughters, I wasn't going to leave even a single percent to chance… I was ready to do everything it would have taken me.Thinking all of this, I tu
Megan's heart skipped a beat as she recognized the familiar face of her informant, and she asked;"Have you brought what I asked for?" The informant nodded, his expression unreadable. "I have everything you need," he replied cryptically. "But first, we need to talk."Megan felt a shiver run down her spine at the ominous tone in his voice, knowing that their conversation might even reveal more than she bargained for… and then, there was no going back for her… ever. Taking a deep breath, Megan followed the man as he led her to a secluded corner of the lobby, just to ensure that there was no one eavesdropping on their conversation. She braced herself for whatever revelations he had in store, her mind racing ahead to guess the possibilities. She listened carefully as the informant relayed the information he had gathered, each word sending a jolt of excitement through her, just at the thought of how she could take advantage of every possibility that he was opening for her… Piece by p
As the vase crashed to the floor, its shattering sound echoed through the house, followed by a soft gasp. Jack got up almost instantly, turning around just in time to see the silhouette of someone turning the corner and rushing down the hall… Amy.With a swift motion, he turned towards the hallway, and he instinctively moved to follow Amy. He exchanged a brief glance with his mother, the worry and confusion in his mind reflecting on Helen's face too. Stepping across the broken vase in the hallway, Jack quickened his pace, his footsteps following closely after Amy's; but somehow, she was much faster than him today. He reached Amy's doorstep just as she vanished into her room, the door swinging shut behind her. Without hesitation, Jack pushed the door open and stepped inside, his senses on high alert. His eyes scanned the room, searching for any signs of distress or danger. But as soon he crossed the threshold, Jack found himself frozen in place, his breath catching in his throat.
A big smile appeared on Amy's face as she heard that she wasn't going to be fired, it means that she doesn't have to be away from Anna, Dottie and Jack.Jack's name appeared in her imagination for a second, as she realized that she had taken Jack's name also in consideration along with Anna and Dottie.But she didn't have the time to think why she had done that, this is why she suddenly shrugged this thought off and dwell on the second thought that was bothering her.Even though now she was sure that she wasn't being kicked out from her job and was going to move with them, but then suddenly another thought appeared in her mind to haunt her.Like there was nothing going to be perfect in her, as just a few moments ago she was happy that she won't be getting fired from her main job, but then only she realized that it wasn't her main job and she has to complete her internship in order to pass her college course with the required credits.And even though Jack has already arranged the work
Amy was completely taken aback by Jack's unexpected question. Her mind was completely overwhelmed for a few moments, trying to make sense of the situation. Had she really heard what she had heard? Or the shock, surprise and happiness of knowing that she would not be fired after all, altered her brain to such an extent that she was practically hallucinating now…?Yes, she was definitely quite attached to Anna, Dottie and Helen… but not to the limit where she would believe that Jack would say something like this?But what if she had really heard everything he had said, correctly? Was this really happening… it was hard to believe that it was Jack, the same person who had been so adamant about setting clear boundaries between them, that he had told her off so harshly in the past… but now, he was suggesting something entirely different now?Her thoughts swirled in confusion as she tried to decipher Jack's intentions. Was he being serious, or was this some kind of joke? But why would he j
