THE STRATEGY OF CHESSThursday evening, Jack's Apartment.Jack sat on a couch, staring into space.Jane sat directly opposite him with a confused face.They were done with their dinner, and they were having a discussion.Jack was done explaining something to her, and yet Jane seemed so confused about the whole thing.“ I still do not understand what you are really talking about. This whole thing does not make sense to me” Jane said.Jack heaved a sigh and sat up, looking at her with a smile.“ Let me try and summarize everything for you.Now, the problem here is that my family is after me and is trying very hard to destroy me completely.I know about it, and I have successfully been able to know their plan. All I need to do now is to retaliate, and everything goes back to normal.In that case, I will have to go low-key.Effective tomorrow, the whole thing will start working seriously, and I will need you to take over, probably from Monday. You will be the new CEO of a new mining comp
THE STRANGE KISS Friday morning, Jack's Residence.Jack woke up on the couch as he opened his eyes at once.He looked around him and realized he was still in the living room.He had not gone to the bedroom to sleep and had unintentionally slept off on the couch.After playing the chess game with Jane, he went to shower and came back to the living room with his phone in hand.Jane did not know what he was going to do with his phone but after asking him why he was going to the living room, Jack told her he had some things to attend to, and that he was going to join him shortly.He had played the game until he passed out.Jack picked up his phone and looked at it.He had successfully gathered about 1.1 trillion dollars from the game.He still had two more days before the end of the game.He smiled at himself.“ I am now a trillionaire” He murmured to himself with a smile as he sat up on the couch.He got up and then looked at the time, thinking it was midnight.He was shocked to find o
LOST IN FANTASIESJack drove out of the compound and set off on his way to work.As he drove, he was busily thinking about Jane's kiss.He lost it for a moment when she kissed him and eventually came to his senses after a few secondsHe felt like the world was revolving around while he stood in the middle.Even as he drove, he could still feel her soft, sweet lips on his cheeks.It was as though Jane was still kissing him.He smiled at himself.He wondered what he was going to do now.He began thinking deeply about Jane as he drove.He had fallen in love with her from the very first day he had seen her in the hospital.It was like magic, and he was never able to get away with it.He had felt like he should go ahead and straight ask her to be his girlfriend, but because of his past relationship experience with Tracy, he was a bit scared.He had weighed options enough and had decided to hold on for a while.He wanted him and Jane to remain on the friendship level. Or maybe the boss and
AN UNEXTINGUISHABLE FIREFriday Noon, Jack’s OfficeJack received a call on his phone.He answered the call and hurriedly placed the phone to his ear.“ We have a problem, sir. All our machines have broken down and gone off completely.All of the machines have begun catching fire one after the other. We have been able to quench a little bit, and the firemen are still on their way here.” The caller said, panting.Jack heaved a sigh.“ You have to take your time. I am going to be there with you guys very soon.. I need to come see things for myself.” Jack said and dropped the call.He picked up his car keys and rushed out of his office.He got into his car and drove at top speed to the warehouse.’He had informed his personal assistant and his receptionist of what was going on..………………………..George’s ResidenceGeorge was sitting in his living room, having a glass of wine. He was busily enjoying himself when his phone rang.He took his phone and frow
THE BAD GOOD NEWSGeorge’s Residence.George walked hurriedly to his living room with his phone in his ear.He was making a call and seemed very happy with himself..He quickly removed the phone from his ear and took the remote control for the television.The moment he switched it on, he saw a big building down in flames while the firemen tried to quench off the fire.He smiled as he read the headlines of the news.“ THE WAREHOUSE OF THE NEW OIL FACTORY ON FIRE” George read it.He grinned happily as he sat down on the couch and enjoyed his view.He saw Jack being shown on the screen when he arrived.The men were following, but he ignored them and went to speak to one of the men in work attire.After speaking with the man, he turned around and faced the media men and finally spoke.George saw the sad look on Jack’s face as he turned.“ That serves you right, you bastard. Now let's see what you have to say about this” George murmured to himself with
READY TO MOVEJack and his driver drove out of the premises and headed back to the office.As they drove.Jack was relieving multiple calls from his customers who were eagerly concerned.One of them was Mr Johnson.Mr Johnson called when they were just a minute away from the office.“ Hello Jack,” Mr Johnson called out.“ Hello sir, good day” Jack greeted with a smile “ What is going on, Jack? I saw it in the news that your whole place caught fire. I also heard what you said on the TV to the media men. What is really going on?” Mr Johnson asked.“ Well, sir, It is true my place caught fire. However, we have been able to meet up with your target for the week, and we will also be able to do it next week. Our deal continues, and everything is in place. There is no cause for alarm sir” Jack said calmly for the umpteenth time to the umpteenth client.“ What? How is that possible? From what i saw here. Everything is going down in flames, and you said you were going to be relieved of your
OFF TO A NEW PLACEJack drove straight to the house and parked in front of it.He got down from the car without taking anything from it.Jane met him at the door.“ Welcome back,” Jane said as she hugged him.The hug took Jack by surprise as he wondered what he had done to warrant the hug.That was the least thing he had expected to be greeted with.He lost consciousness for a second as Jane hugged him“ Are you okay?” Jane asked with a smile.“ Yes, I am . I am very okay. Are you done with what I told you?” Jack asked with a nod and a raised eyebrow.“ Yes, I did it. I am ready” Jane replied as she led the way back inside the room.“ Okay then. I think we should move now” Jack said as he loosened his neck tie a bit.“ Not so fast, dear. I cooked something. You just came back from work and you should eat something before you do anything else..” Jane said.“ Well. I am kinda hungry, but I think I can handle it till we get to the new apartment, so let's go.” Jack said and smiled.“ Nope.
A CASTLEJack and Jane drove twenty minutes to their new house.It was gated and closed and there was a security man at the gate.The moment Jack got to the door, he honked, and the door was automatically opened from the inside.“ Jane looked at him in surprise as he drove in.“ Wait? Is somebody in the house?” Jane asked in surprise.Jack nodded in the affirmative with a smile.“ Yes, we have a guard here,” Jack said as he drove in.There was a garage that could take two cars at the same time.Jack drove into the garage and parked the car.He opened it and got down from the car.The guard was running towards them after closing the gate.Jane had also opened the door and was out.The three of them met at the back of the car, where Jack was already waiting for them.“ Jane, this is Roland, our gatekeeper and the security.He will be at that gate, at all times” Jack said and pointed to the man.“ Okay, that's fine, how are you doing, Roland?” Jane asked him.“ I'm very fine maam” Roland
