Jacob, having predicted that he would be tracked down, gave some tracked items to a number of people. He did this as he travelled to make the search more difficult, although he was confident that he would be found. “This phone is for me? Really?” asked a middle-aged woman who worked as a cleaner in a public area. “Yes, I already have a better one,” Jacob said as he handed over a cell phone, a gift from Ewald. “Thank you, Sir,” the woman said happily and put the expensive mobile phone in her trouser pocket. Similarly, Jacob gave him a watch as a gift from Ewald to a 40-year-old man who was repairing his old car on the side of the road. “You're not mistaken, are you, Sir? This expensive watch is for me? Is it real?” the man asked, glaring as he received a watch from a well-known brand. “Yes. If you don't believe me, you can sell it. You can buy a new car with this watch,” Jacob said, and the man immediately shook his hand tightly and continued to thank him. “Sir! What's your name
Rafael suddenly took Jacob's hand and invited him to get into the car. This time, Jacob sat beside the driver, as Rafael would be driving the car from now on. The young man with the fading bruises looked closely at Rafael, who looked serious and alert.“You should be careful of a man called Wyatt Rodriguez, Jacob. I overheard Mr. Diablo, Samuel, and Morris talking in the office. They said you were being used as Wyatt's puppet because of your similar names. The rich man wants to frame you and make you a target for his enemies. They'll think you're related to the Rodriguez family. I'm telling you this because I care about you, to thank you for helping me,” he said seriously.Jacob was silent, but smiled afterward.“I understand. Thank you, Rafael. I'll be careful now that I've heard what you've just said. I wish you luck with your current job,” Jacob said, and Rafael nodded.When Rafael was about to take Jacob home because he needed the car for work, a group of men with wild faces and t
Callie was knocked unconscious when she fell hard onto her head. Jacob, on the other hand, was lucky enough to have his bag caught on a metal bar protruding from the building's foundation. The brown-haired man hung there gasping for breath, shocked at what had just happened to him.“Hah, hah, damn it! Callie!” shouted Jacob as he saw the woman down there closing her eyes. Jacob looked up and could still see the sunlight sneaking through the building terrace hole. He had never thought that there was an underground room inside. Jacob saw that his jump distance was about 3 meters if he recklessly let go of the rucksack on his back. “Ergh!” he groaned when he unfastened his bag belt.Jacob managed to step onto the floor of the underground room without injury. He immediately went to Callie, even though her equipment had to be left in the bag because it was difficult to retrieve. Jacob was stunned when he saw that the back of Callie's head had hit a hard object in the form of an iron box. J
Jacob and Callie are eager to explore the secret room. Jacob, was not expecting the mighty woman beside him to have one thing in common with him when it came to things that reeked of adventure. As they peered into a hole that could only be entered one at a time because it was the size of a window, Callie's mobile phone suddenly rang. Jacob came out of the hole as Callie pulled on the rucksack he was carrying. “Yes?” “We will arrive shortly, Miss Callie. It would be best if you and Mr. Wyatt did not investigate any further. It will be dark soon. This place could be very dangerous for both of you,” the team leader said. “Okay,” Callie replied lazily, as her fun was forbidden. Jacob smiled and decided to wait for the team to arrive. Moments later, a huge gust of wind came from above. The trees near the window swayed violently. Jacob approached the window and looked out. His eyes instantly widened. He saw a helicopter landing in the front yard of the abandoned house. He turned his hea
Jacob was stunned. Callie slowly released her embrace. Her two hands traced Jacob's arms, which were beginning to feel firm from his boxing training. Jacob became nervous as Callie's hands continued to caress both his arms, and then placed the egg beater bowl on the table. Jacob twisted his body, he knew what Callie wanted. The mighty woman looked at Jacob closely, then brought her face closer. Jacob opened his eyes as Callie kissed him passionately, and slowly the kiss became more aggressive. Unknown to them, Sheena was looking through the kitchen window. She was stunned by what she saw. She, who had deliberately come to thank Jacob for giving her the opportunity to become a theatre actress even in the form of Wyatt, made her heart break. She realized that she was no match for Callie, a noble Obsidian princess. One of the heirs to the chair of The Big 10. Sheena steeled her heart and turned away. She clutched the basket of fresh fruit to hide her sadness, which she should have given
Where Sheena was.The beautiful woman could not hide her sadness. She, who had waited faithfully for Jacob's return, could not hold back the tears that kept falling. Sheena locked herself in a theatre room. She sat on the edge of her bed, clutching a picture of her childhood with Jacob. The two of them were holding hands, looking familiar.“You need to realize yourself, Sheena. You don't deserve to be with your young master. You're just a servant's daughter,” she sobbed.The next day.Jacob was already preparing to visit Mrs. Elberta. But first, he was going to Shanum, even though he didn't know the reason. He enjoyed his breakfast while he waited for the messenger, as Ewald had told him last night. Soon there was a knock at the door while Jacob was cleaning the dishes. The brown-haired man hurried to open the door and found Ten there. “Good morning, Jacob,” greeted Ten, who had arrived looking like a mountaineer. Jacob smiled and invited his guest in.The Rodriguez son's eyes scanne
Ten told him what he knew about Riddick, one of the members of The Big 10. Jacob listened seriously. He really didn't expect that Riddick's past was surprising to him.“Hem, I see. Riddick thinks that my father is his biggest rival in business,” Jacob said with a sharp look in his eyes. Ten looked tense as he glanced into the center mirror. He saw the serious face of his young master sitting in the center seat. “Since when did Torres become close friends with Riddick?” Jacob asked, not satisfied with the story of the man's past.“Shortly after the death of your parents, Mr. Wyatt. Mr. Riddick and the rest of the Big Ten came to the funeral as a form of respect,” Ten said, concentrating on driving again despite his racing heart.“Yeah, it's only natural to come to the funeral. Then... did you not detect any suspicious movements from Riddick afterward? Or perhaps, some other businessman who suddenly skyrocketed after my parents' death?” asked Jacob, his eyes now staring intently at Ten'
Ten waited while reading a magazine. There was a soft sound of music that made everyone fall silent. However, Jacob's forehead wrinkled. He seemed to remember the song without lyrics. Elberta noticed the change in Jacob and remained focused on the tablet she was holding. “It's like I hear music. Do you hear it too?” Jacob asked doubtfully. “Oh, really? I didn't. Ten, did you hear that?” asked Elberta looking over. “Sorry, I... was focusing on reading. What do you hear?” Ten asked innocently. “Forget it. Just continue with your reading. Leave us alone,” Elberta said, and Ten nodded. The man then put on an earphone and listened to a song from a digital player. Elberta looked at Jacob closely. “This is very strange, Mrs. Elberta. How can I hear it and you and Ten can't?” asked Jacob with a furrowed brow.“Maybe it's the effect of the nerve booster I gave you. Like I said. Your memory is recovering. With the right medi
