THE CHEATING GIRLFRIENDJack and Jane prepared themselves to leave the house as usual.Jack was going to drop Jane at work, and he himself would also go over to the house to inspect his properties and see how it was going to be.They were in the car, heading towards the workplace.Jack and Jane were discussing what each of them was going to do that day as they journeyed to the workplace.“ So, you did not tell me, how did you find out your girl was cheating on you?” Jane asked Jack with a smile.She knew the question was a bit awkward, but she decided to ask that on purpose.Contrary to her expectation, Jack smiled on hearing that question.He then breathed in heavily and began his narration.“ Well, it all began on the very day I was thrown out of my house.I had to find somewhere to lodge for the meantime, and the very first person to come to mind was, of course, my girlfriend.The house in which she was staying was what I bought for her with my own money.I decided to go there and
MR ANONYMOUS Jane heaved a sigh.“ This is quite surprising. So that means had it not been for the fact that your call did not go through, you would still have not found her.” Jane said.Jack only nodded.Jane smiled to herself, knowing she had now understood what was going on. She now seemed to understand why Jack suddenly had no interest in women. Once bitten, twice shy, they say.“ So now that Georg did not go with him, how do you deal with her now? Or is she aware that George has sold the mansion and all the properties?” Jane asked.Jack shook his head in the negative.“ George did not tell her that he was selling off the house, and the truth of the matter is that the house I bought for her has also been sold out to someone else.Looks like George convinced her to do so so he could add up and buy a new house for her. It turned out to be a lie as George took the money and left with itFrom the information I had, Tracy traveled out of the city with the excuse of going to her mothe
MR NEWMANThrowback to Chapter 27.After Jack read Jane’s letter, he ran to the park where he had parked his car to move to where he was sure he was going to find Jane.As Jack got to the parking lot, he saw three men engaged in a serious fight right beside his car.It looked like two of the men were in the fight against one man.Jack wondered what the cause of the fight was, as he could see it was a very heavy one and the two men were keen on bringing the man down.What was more surprising to him was how they were all fighting right beside his car.With curiosity, he walked closer, but before he could get there, one of the two men was already down and groaning in pain.Jack admired the strength and skills of the one man fighter.By the time he got there, the second man was also on the floor, and the one man fighter was still standing strong.Jack was standing behind him at this moment, and he cleared his throat to gain the man's attention.The man turned sound almost at the same time
IT'S GOOD TO FEEL THAT WAY“ So you mean your friend also had an experience with the mayor?” Jane asked with a bit of shock and surprise in her voice.Jack nodded in the affirmative with a smile“ Wait, so is that the reason why you were too eager to finish up with the case of the mayor?”. Then asked again“ wow yes but the principal thing was because of the death of your mother. However, Newman was the man who helped me in locating him and tracking him all the time. He also did that as revenge for his plight. He was also trying to redeem himself, and since he had the opportunity, he took it.” Jack said.“ Since you said he was also broke and homeless and had nothing, how did he come by those gadgets to help you track and trace him?”“ After my meeting with him and him narrating his life to me, I promised to help him establish himself once again, and I was able to help him acquire some machines that he needed.Very soon after that, he came back to himself and began getting contracts f
THE NEW KING Immediately Jane got down from the car, Jack reversed and drove out of the compound with a smile on his face.He took the opposite road, which led to the mansion.Jack drove at top speed because he had a lot of things to do in the mansion right before Tracy returned.As he drove, he stopped at a traffic light signal and quickly dialled Newman’s number. “ Hello man, how is it going?” Jack immediately asked as the call was answered.“ I was waiting for your call, sir. Are you ready now?” Newman asked in return.“ Yes, I am currently headed towards the place and I will be there in about twenty minutes. You can let the men meet me around the place” Jack said.“ Okay, sir, they are already at the place and are just before the gate.The moment they see you around, they will drive with you into the house” Newman said.“ Okay then, that is fine. Are you still on Tracy?” Jack asked him.“ No sir, my only informant was at the place when she departed.She should be nearing there
IT IS ALL OVERThe senior guard came to Jack with a smile on his face.He saluted, and Jack nodded in response.“ Look, Tracy is on her way here and is going to get here any moment from now. I have to go do something inside, and the moment she gets here, prompt me” Jack told the guard.The guard nodded and smiled.Jack looked around him and saw that the new guards were already getting into their positions.He saw the two old guards come out of the guard rooms with their backpacks and left the house.Jack walked into the gate of the mansion.He stood at the door, heaved a heavy sigh, and opened the main door to the house.The door gave way to the living room. The househelp was in the living room, cleaning.When the door opened, she turned to look at who opened the door, and her mouth was left agape on seeing who it was.Jack smiled widely at her, knowing what she was thinking.“ Yes, it's me. I am back to the house as the new owner. How are you doing, Jacqueline?” Jack asked the house
MAINTAIN THE LEGACYJack walked up the stairs and then headed straight to his room.The room was neatly cleaned, and everything was in order, just that it was evident nobody had gone into the room again since he left the house.Jack looked around the room with a smile on his face.Everywhere seemed old, and the pictures he had hung on the walls all looked old and dusty.Jack stood in the room for about three minutes and walked out again, walking back to the living room.Jacqueline was still in the living room cleaning up the place.“ When you are done with your work, kindly go upstairs and clean up my room for me” Jack told Jacqueline and quickly left without waiting to hear anything from her. Jack took the other corridor that led to his father’s bedroom.He opened the door and walked in.The place was tidied up just as he had left it months back, just that everywhere looked so old, and there was no sign of a living thing around.Jack saw his fathers picture on the wall, covered in du
A NEW OWNERAs Jack stood there observing the content of the two briefcases, his phone beeped.Jack took the phone out of his pocket and checked it, and upon realizing what the message was, he quickly walked back and closed the secret tunnel.Jack closed the door to the room and secured it with the key, taking the care along with him as he walked downstairs.Jacqueline was still cleaning the living room and was working as Jack passed her and walked out of the mansion.Getting closer to the main gate, he could hear a lady arguing with one of his guards outside of the house.Jack already knew the owner of the voice, and so he smiled widely with a grin on his face.As he walked closer and closer to the gate, he could hear the voice clearer and Clearer, and he could hear how the woman was busy ranting and asking the Guard to let her in.“ We will need to inform our boss first he did not tell us that anyone was coming to look for him” Jack could hear the guard say.“ And that goddamn boss
