Jackson squinted his gaze at Morgan. "You should watch what you say, before you get slammed with a slander lawsuit in the nearest future!" He remained cool and expressionless on the outside. He had given Anna Wilson a good threat, if she dared to tell any living aoul about it, then she wouldn't blame him for what happened. "My men are still investigating, but I'm only wanting you. Do not cross your boundaries with me, at work or with my family!" Morgan added again before storming off. After speaking with a few more board members, Jackson made his way to his office. On his way, he decided to stop at the men's restroom to wash his hands. He hadn't stepped in when he heard two men discussing. "Don't you think this new Head of Managers is going too far?"The other man laughed. "Let him keep being deluded. He's new so he doesn't understand that this comaony no longer has a backbone. It's just a disaster, waiting to happen!"Jackson gritted, wiping his hands to go confront them. "Eve

Jackson placed the last set of wine glasses on the table, glancing around the bedroom in satisfaction. He’d been working hard at making a surprise for his beloved wife. Today made it 5 years they’d been together.Balloons, ribbons, small pink dolls, her favorite wine, and a pink happy anniversary cake- Jackson had ordered and arranged everything carefully.The wall clock read 5.40pm. Miranda should arrive in 20 minutes.Jackson decided to relax with some wine as he reminisced on their married life. The journey wasn’t smooth nor rosy. But the love he had for her pushed him to make it work. He’d listened to everything she said, cared for her in the least possible ways and giving her full support as she built her company from scratch.He looked up at the clock again. 6.15pm.Time flew by so fast. By now, he usually would be massaging her feet after helping her off with her jacket at the door.Jack picked up his phone and got up to look out the window facing the parking lot. Not a single
Miranda was almost unable to hold Isaac from staggering back on the chair. “I swear you’re going to pay for this! How dare you barge in here to interrupt us?”“Mira..” Hot tears filled Jackson’s eyes, his heart hurting. “Why’re you doing this?”“Come in!” Isaac spoke into the intercom. Immediately two burly men burst in, grabbing Jackson’s arms from behind. They started punching and hitting him, but a punch from Jackson sent them sprawling across the room.Before Isaac could give another order, Jackson dashed out of the office. He quickly got into a taxi and hurried home. It was already late and he had nowhere to go, he had to stay the night at the Wilson’s residence.Jackson got into the helper’s quarters and hid in a cupboard. Like he predicted, some men were sent by the matriarch to come search for him.Miranda had arrived home and reported what happened to her grandmother. The matriarch had never really liked him from the start.Luckily, the men didn’t look in the cupboard, so Ja
Jackson took a seat on the bench at the park, wiping sweat off his head. He regretted the 5 years he spent at the Wilsons residence, for the fact that Miranda betrayed his love! Anger brimming in his heart, he retrieved a small burner phone, turned it on and dialed a certain number. "Hello, Mr Ryder." A voice replied on the other end. "I am done with the mission, what is next?" The next words the person spoke from the other line sent shock waves of anger into Jackson’s blood. "You bastard!" he screamed, throwing the phone into the grass in front of him.What exactly did they take him for? Jackson laid back on the bench, watching as people went back and forth having a good time. When his stomach started rumbling, a man walked up to hand him a plate of food.Soon, it was evening.Jackson got up, heading to OrangeLit, a luxurious bar in the city center. He ordered some beers, awaiting the person that was to meet him. On his way to a table, someone bumped into him making his bottl
Kenneth squinted his gaze. "Paul Ryder died in a house fire and was buried 2 years ago."Jackson’s heart broke in grief and sadness.His father had been his role model when he was young, taking him everywhere, teaching him all sorts of things before he suddenly disappeared. Turns out he’d been alive all this while, but only just died 2 years ago."It was due to my careless mistake, Master Jackson.” Kenneth lowered his head. “We discovered that the accident was actually set up by some of his long-time enemies, but before we could discover, it was too late! Till now, we haven’t been able to find proper evidence, we hope that with Master’s return. His father’s passing wouldn’t be in vain.”“You have a suspect?” Jackson was shocked. “Yes,” His eyes glinted with fury. “An old-time friend of Master Paul.”Jackson’s memories could only conjure up one face- Luka Wilson, Miranda’s father, and once his father’s business partner.Suspiciously, Luka had also gone missing around the same time his
Jackson's ears perked up. Did that old hag follow him here?Shit! What if she had discovered who he was?"No." Slade read through his thoughts. “The woman seems to have a back injury, and she's swearing not to leave until she meets Doctor Jack.” Jackson clenched his teeth in frustration. News of his exceptional medical abilities had spread across the city. Almost every day someone would barge in, demanding to see him at all costs. "What should we do, Boss? She's throwing a very loud tantrum." Slade asked again. Jackson cracked his brain. Then he thought of something. "Get me the mask, my kit and some anesthetic needles." He grabbed his coat, just as Slade returned with the instruments. Jackson made his way into the guest sitting room. Anna Wilson was still screaming in a livid voice. "I need to see Doctor Jack! My back really hurts since I had an accident this morning, I can barely manage to stand. Please help me. I'll pay any amount!""Ma'am, you have to understand, the Doctor
