HIS TIME TO CONQUER CHAPTER 32
Jack stepped out of the car and ambled towards the building; he wore a casual outfit, a t,-shirt and jeans and sneakers to match the attire. When he walked into the house the first place he entered was his grandmother’s room. He knocked twice before the door was open from inside. “Good evening, Grandma.” He said with a grin. Grandma was surprised to see Jack; it’s been weeks since the two last saw each other face to face aside from Facetime or the calls they normally have. Jack engulfed her in a warm hug, she felt excited seeing her grandson. “Look at you, you are looking handsome as always. How are you doing?” She intoned. “I am fine grandma, and you.” “I am fine, Jack. Your Dad is back, hope you are aware.” Grandma said with her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes, Grandma. I am aware.” He replied, walking into the room. He sat on the sofa, with his hand behind his head. “How is school, and hope you are doing alright.” “Grandma school is great, and I am doing fine,” he repli

Vivian felt her hand throbbing, his words hit her. She knew it wasn’t going to be easy but she wouldn’t go home without expressing herself. “Jack, I know what I did was bad. I take the blame for it.” She said. Mr. Harrison’s gaze moved from Vivian to his son, Nelson and back to Vivian. He felt something was amiss, and he would need an explanation. “Can someone tell me what’s going on?” He abruptly questioned. She swallowed hard; she didn’t know how to spill out what happened without getting them upset. She was struggling with her words. Jack steps in, unfolding the truth. Everyone in the dining room was taken aback by what they just heard. Mr. Nelson stared at his daughter with his brow wide in disbelief. He felt angry but kept his cool; his daughter lied to him; she never informed him about what she did. “Why would you do that?” Mr. Harrison questioned, and now fathom why his son had been angry at her. “I am sorry, I didn’t mean for it to happen. I allowed my emotions to cloud

Jack felt a flush of embarrassment, his cheeks warmed as he realised the delay he was causing. He drew a deep breath while trying to maintain his composure.“I am sorry; just give me a moment,” he said politely, with his frustration evident in his tone.“You don’t have money to pay for what you bought, what a shame.” Someone said from the background.“He is poor; he just wants to show off.” Another person said.Jack tried to refresh the bank application and then tried again. He could hear the murmuring from the people behind. He didn’t blame them, but himself for being careless. “If you don’t have money, you get out of here.” Another person sneered.A familiar figure came out from the crowd when she spotted Jack, she giggled uncontrollably as she took a few steps towards Jack. It was Anastasia, Clara Grant's best friend.“Why not tell everyone you can’t pay for it? Why claim you have the money when we know you are poor.”Jack tossed his gaze at the figure, who kept a smiling face. H

“I can see he is showing off, it should work or else he would be arrested.” Another person said. The salesperson kept a serious demeanor, as she began accessing the things bought by the other customers. When she was through with the last person, she raised her brow, taking a glance at Jack. “It’s worth $35,000 for everything.” “Okay,” he nods, turning to the two men who have been standing at the door making sarcastic statements. “Do you care for anything?” One of them nodded, while the other refused. “Take what you want.” He rushed into the store and got two sneakers. His friend shook his head. Then to his driver, who didn’t hesitate to pick two sneakers. “So how much in total?” “It’s $ 40,400.” Jack handed her his card, the customers who took things didn’t go as some stayed to know if he was truly going to make payment as he said. They watched him type in his pin. “Confirmed.” “Wow, he really did pay for it.” One of the customers said. “You kept your promise, thank you.”

“It’s nothing,” Jack said to Anna.“Why are you telling her it’s nothing? Why not tell her the truth that you stole someone else card to purchase sneakers just so you could impress her.” Anastasia blurted out.Jack shook his head in displeasure, his jaw tightening the only thing holding him from unleashing his wrath at them was the fact that they were women. “I can see you are still angry that you got humiliated; it wasn’t my fault that you couldn’t afford $6,700 to pay for what you bought, and you ended up leaving the store in shame. I can lend you money to get them, or better still, I can help you order for the same sneaker.” Jack said sarcastically with his brow raised.Anastasia felt embarrassed when she noticed the students whispering among themselves. She knew she had to do something, or Jack might end up making her look like a loser before the other students; Clara Grant narrowed her eyes at her friend.“I couldn’t pay because their machine wasn’t good. My card is exclusive, a

Mr. Nelson Sancho sighed softly, “I don’t know, but this is a big event; everyone will be there. He might as well be there,”Vivian raises her head, her eyes darting from her father to the ticket and back to her father. “Are you sure he is going to show up at the concert?” she asked with her voice barely above a whisper.Mr. Nelson Sancho exhaled heavily, “Yes, I am sure. He will make it to the event.” He replied, not knowing if he was right or wrong, but he just wanted his daughter to feel happy. “Then, I will go. I would love to see him again, and this time, I will make sure he forgives me and takes me as his girlfriend.”Mr Nelson Sancho nodded, “You will need to eat your food; you wouldn’t want him to see you look like this. Your collarbone is becoming visible.” “Okay, I will eat. Thank you, Daddy,” she said, smiling. Then, hug her father, who wrapped his arm around her, feeling relief.“You heard her; get her something to eat,” he instructed the maid who had been standing besi

It was the expected day for most students at Crestview University, the day they had long anticipated. Jack stood in front of the mirror staring at himself. He was perfectly dressed, in a black and Jean. He took out his phone as he made his way to the entrance of the building; Jack took a cab and made his way towards Anna's place.Meanwhile, Anna was in her room. She didn't know what to put on, knowing she had to look her best for the concert. After several back and forth selecting a dress, she finally took the sleek dark gown from the wardrobe which she wore and applied a light makeover on her face. She stared at her phone screen, waiting for Jack to call but nothing. “Is he going to like my dress,” she said to herself. Suddenly, her phone rang out. She turned to peering at the screen. Without hesitation, she answered the call. “I am outside your house waiting for you.” He said politely. “Alright, I will be there in a jiffy,” she replied before the line got dead.Anna stepped out

“Look, who is here?” someone said from behind. “Jack the errand boy.” Jesse made a mockery of him.Jack tossed his gaze towards the direction he heard the voice; he clenched his jaw and then ignored Jesse Warren and Clara Grant as he held Anna’s hand while walking towards the counter.They placed an order for two soft drinks, and the bartender handed them the drink, “Thank you,” he said as he took the drink from the counter.Jesse stood in front of Jack, but Jack tried to move away. “Where do you think you are going, Jack? I can see you now have wings, but no matter how big your wings are, you can’t fly higher with it.” He sneered.Jack frowned his face, with his jaw clenched. He peered through Jesse’s shoulder, and behind him were Eric and Elvis Hilton, birds of the same feathers. “I wonder how you got the money to pay for the ticket, or did you steal from someone.” Vivian stopped, as she hid at a spot glancing at them. She wouldn’t want to be seen by Jack or Jesse Warren. “How I

Vivian frowned her face, all she needed was an explanation and not someone who would lie to her. “Stop acting like you don’t know what I am talking about. Did you do it?” She demanded, her voice smooth but firm.“I still don’t know what you are talking about, Darling. Make me understand,” “Did you send someone to poison Jack? Why?” her mind was boiling in inner rage and fury.“Where did you hear that from? Who told you, why would I do that.” Mr. Nelson said shaking his head.“Stop lying, Dad. I heard you clearly. It was you who paid the waitress and even killed her. Why would you do that? You want to kill your friend’s son.” Mr Nelson’s expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth. “Is that what you go about doing now, sneaking into people’s rooms to eavesdrop on their conversations.” He said without remorse. “Are you for real, Dad? Why would I do that.” She tried to explain but he interjected her.‘I thought you were smart, but no, ever since that boy came around, you have change

Chapter 54 Anna exhaled softly, her heart was breathing fast. “I followed him,” she said, using her eyes to signal him. “I saw him on his way here, and I knew I had seen him somewhere before, then I remembered it was at the boutique. My instinct pushed me to follow; I couldn’t stay back, and I trailed behind him throughout with his notice. I have been hiding for over an hour, I saw the lady who left the room earlier.” Jack’s eyes widened in disbelief, this was unreal. Kelvin, who also heard what she said, was shocked by the revelation. “How did I not notice someone was behind me.” He asked himself. “I am sorry, I didn’t mean to do it. But I was worried about you, Jack. You haven’t been coming to school, I asked everyone about you. I suspected something was wrong.” She said, her gaze facing downward in shame. “It’s fine, I am not angry. Thank you for caring about me.” He replied. “How is school, what’s happening?” he added. Anna nodded, “School is going as normal; we are having ou

She pretended she was there to see someone, then followed Kelvin without his knowledge. She watched him amble inside. Through the transparent glass, she could see someone inside, he lay on the bed with a lay seated beside him.“Could that be jack? What happened to him? Why is he here? Was he in an accident?” She asked herself in confusion.Anna was beginning to suspect that Jack has been involved in some mafia business or maybe he has joined some gang, because for some months he has been acting strange, and she noticed he has been looking different unlike him. Wearing different clothe, his phone and his behaviour everything about him has changed.But why would he not change when he is now the son of a billionaire, I guess there is a lot she doesn't know about Jack. Anna hid behind the wall watching everything that was going on inside. She finally saw the face of the person on the bed and without been told it her him.Meanwhile, inside the hospital room. Jack, lay on the bed. Listening

The room was shattered; he noticed a figure lying on the floor covered in blood, and her clothes torn, revealing her upper body.The scene before him made him speechless; his jaw tightened, and his face darkened. The guards behind stared at each other. “Call the cops.” Kelvin Wang instructed. Kelvin Wang stood outside the house with Detective Mathew, “What were you doing at the crime scene,” he asked.“I came to ask her about something; she was supposed to be at the office but didn't show up.” Detective Mathew stared at Kelvin Wang, he knew he was the senior butler of the Campbell, “you think she was involved in the poisoning of Jack Campbel” Kelvin Wang narrowed his gaze at the detective, his mind was preoccupied with several thoughts. He wondered who could have killed her. “Officer, I don't care what you think. But from the look of things, this woman knew something about the poisoning. Why would someone kill her if she knew nothing.” Kelvin Wang said with his voice brewing in

The receptionist was scared she stared at the men standing before her with. “Is there anything we can help you with?”Kelvin Wang eyes darkened and his gaze locked on her, “where is the manager?” He asked again not ready for any argument.She took the phone and murmurs into it, then turned to face Kelvin and his men. “The manager will be out in a minute.” She replied politely.Kelvin turned away from her, his gaze scanning around the lobby. The onlooker stared at him wondering what was going on. But to his men they knew better. He was analysing every corner and taking details. He didn't see the place as a hotel anymore but a crime scene.A minute later, Elliot Gideon stepped out. His kept a worrisome and crimson outlook when he gaze met with Kelvin Wang and the guards, the incident of jack had made him reckless, knowing he would be blamed for everything that happened.“Good evening, Mr. Kelvin Wang.” he said with his head tilted and his voice low but smooth.Kelvin nodded with his e

“What are you doing here?” he managed to spill as he tried to maintain his composure.Kelvin Wang clenched his fist, he rolled his eyes on Allen. Allen's mind was pounding fast, he felt his stomach churning. “Was he listening to my conversation? Why is he staring at me like that? If he heard me, I would be in trouble; what should I do? Did Hilda tell him anything?” After a moment, Kelvin Wang broke the silence between them. “Your father wants you to meet him in the car.” He informed with a deep Voice.Allen nodded as he walked past Kelvin, heading towards the entrance of the hospital. Where he met his father standing with his hands clasped behind his back, and Hilda stood beside him. He drew a deep breath, as he sauntered towards them. “What have you been doing?” Mr Harrison Campbell asked with a serious tone.He tried to suppress the fear that had engulfed him. His eyes lingered from Hilda to his father, “I was at the restroom, I was pressed, and I had to answer to nature.” He repl

The doctor leaned forward, his expression shifted slightly. “Mr Harrison, your son, Jack, was poisoned.” “Poisoned!!” He exclaimed in shock and disbelief.“Yes,” the doctor nodded, “We have managed to flush most of it out, but it was close, too close. I tried my best, but he is stable and I have assigned a nurse to look after him.”“Can you please tell me what happened and where you were at the time of the incident.” the doctor abruptly asked.Mr. Harrison sighed heavily as he began explaining to the doctor everything that happened and where the incident happened. The doctor nodded in understanding, as he listened intently.“It's a good thing he was brought here on time; it helped us catch the poison early. And he is young, so his body may recover fully, but there is a risk. We will do everything possible to prevent any lasting harm.”Mr Harrison's mind was clouded with questions, “Who could have done this and why?” He asked himself, he blamed himself for what happened, and he called

Mr. Harrison rose from his seat with a confused face; Allen paused, wondering what was wrong with Jack. “What’s going on, talk to me?” Mr. Harrison called out, with his voice etched with panic.Jack tried to utter a word, but a metallic taste filled his mouth. He coughed, and suddenly blood splashed across, staining the tablecloth with a dark red droplet. He felt a surge of panic within him when he realised something was wrong.Their minds raced when they noticed the stain; Mr. Harrison and Hilda exchanged worrisome glances at each other. Jack glanced at Allen, who was unmoved by what was happening to him. Jack knew he had been poisoned, but how? Was this a set-up? “Jack.” Mr. Harrison called with his heart filled with shock and fear. He rushed towards Jack’s side. Grabbing his shoulder to steady him, Jack faced downward as he continued coughing out blood.“Someone calls the ambulance; someone calls an ambulance.” Allen paused what he was doing and took his phone to call the ambul

Jack stepped out of the car and made his way towards the entrance, his step echoing slightly as he scanned the room. It felt strange, surreal even, to be there. His father’s invitation had come out of nowhere, something he never anticipated. He clenched his jaw at the thought of meeting his father’s children from his other family. The siblings he had heard about and never got to meet. Even though he felt a mix of resentment and disappointment, he had agreed to come, not coming with some kind of disrespect to his father; he also thought this was a chance to clear the hatred in his mind for them after what their mother did to him, to comfort some old, buried emotions.As he crossed the lobby, the hotel staff members approached him with a warm smile and his head bowed. “welcome. Young master, Jack. This way, please,” he said smoothly, gesturing towards the road to his right.Jack nodded, as he trailed behind her towards the private dinner room. The quiet elegance of the room added to t
