JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 43
At Julia’s house. Julia was busy with her tailoring work. Her son was watching television while smoking a cigar. “Mom, I need some money.” “I don’t have a dime to give to you,” Julia blurted. “If you want money, then find a job. Until then, I’ll feed you and let you stay under this roof. That’s all I’m going to do for you. Don’t expect more from me because my health isn’t as good as it was. The overwork is slowly getting to me.” “Why do you waste your money on the court case?” her son, Daniel, snorted. “You won’t be able to bring Dad out with the little bit of money you are giving to the lawyer. All you’re doing is filling his pockets. When will you get that?” “Then what do you want me to do?” she howled. “Give YOU money so you can smoke and drink yourself to death?” “No, Mom. I was asking for money to buy some chocolates. Today is your birthday, right?” Daniel said, surprising her. “I will distribute the chocolates to the neighbors. I’m sure it’ll help you bring some clients.” “

Daniel came home about two hours later. He didn’t see Jim’s footwear outside, so he smiled and entered quickly. “Mom, where’s the cake?” he asked aloud, pulling the curtain aside.To his shock, Jim was right inside, watching the TV. “Welcome, Danny. We’ve been waiting for you.”“Eek!” Daniel saw that there was a stick on the couch. “W-What’s that stick for?”“Why would a man need a stick? You are smart enough to know that, don’t you?” Jim casually replied. “Your mother has told me all the things you’ve been doing. I thought I disciplined you enough last time, but it looks like you’ve grown the tail once again. So, I’m here to once again cut that tail, this time not through beating, of course.”“Bullshit. You have the stick, so what are you saying?”“You’ll know soon.”Soon, Julia brought a big wooden box from the basement. It was quite heavy for her, so Jim quickly helped her.“Mom, those are grandpa’s guns!” Daniel’s eyes widened. “Don’t tell me, you’re giving them to him?!”Julia w

Jim took Daniel to the gun range, and Daniel was very surprised to see that there really was a tennis court where there were rich boys and girls gathered.“I thought you were lying to get me to go with you, but I was wrong,” Daniel said. “Let us go into that stadium, so we can also play?”“I don’t have the money to get a pass into that place,” Jim said, sounding a little pitiful. “I never promised anything except teaching you how to use guns. And that’s what I’m going to do.”“But…” Daniel couldn’t take his eyes off the girls that were wearing skirts and were playing among themselves. “I’ve dreamed of rich girls falling for me. Help me make one of those girls fall for me, Jim.”“You don’t have a job, and worse, you have nasty habits. Knowing that, I can’t possibly waste a girl’s time by pairing her with you,” Jim’s blunt reply shocked Daniel.“I-If I impress you with my shooting skills, then will you introduce one of the girls to me?” Daniel asked.“Haha, do you think I’m a broker or
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 46
Jim returned home at around nine in the night. He put the big wooden box in the bushes before entering the house.Lola and Marc were having dinner. Seeing Jim, Lola quickly said, “Where the hell did you go, Jim? The day your wife leaves the country, you go out and have fun! How many women did you sleep with?”“Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?” Jim snorted. “Don’t talk rubbish without any proof.”“Then tell me where you went? You disappeared in the morning and are returning right now,” Lola blurted. “What does a man like you who has no friends or job do for twelve hours outside?”“That’s none of your business, Aunt,” Jim retorted. “Did you ever tell me what you do outside the house? No, you don’t have to tell me, but do you at least tell your own husband where you’re going?”Lola frowned. “Are you trying to put a wedge between me and my husband?” she slapped the table in anger. “Every time I step out of the house, I multiply our money before I come back into the house. I’m th
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 47
“I waited three hours for you!” Shiney tried her best to not yell at the woman sitting across the table in Malcolm’s restaurant, the same restaurant where Jim tried to join but was refused because of Marc’s intervention.Veronica, the woman sitting in front of Shiney, was very beautiful to look at. So, Shiney couldn’t quite get angry at her.“Something urgent came up, so I ended up coming late,” Veronica said. She was the same as Shiney, and both of them had similar body structures. The only difference was that Shiney had a long face and a bigger nose, which Shiney didn’t like. “Still, you waited three hours for me. I’m very impressed by your patience levels. So, I won’t charge any money for the tips I’m going to give you today!”“That’s nice,” Shiney gladly accepted it because she didn’t have much pocket money left with her anyway. “Then tell me… How am I going to get close to my brother-in-law? I want him to love me and think of no woman other than me. How can I get him to look at n
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 48
The next morning.Jim woke up in Rena’s bed, feeling very relaxed and cozy because her bed felt like heaven. Even though Rena wasn’t physically present, her scent was all over the pillow and blanket, so it made him feel very comfortable.“I wonder if Marc started making breakfast,” he laughed a little. “Last night, I made it very clear that I won’t cook for them. I’m sure Marc must be feeling very angry because he has to wake up early and cook for his wife.” Unable to contain his excitement, he quickly went downstairs and checked in the kitchen.As he guessed, Marc was busy preparing breakfast.“You’re not cooking for me, right, Uncle?” Jim asked.“Hmph, not in a million years,” Marc arrogantly blurted.“Thank you, because I find it difficult to eat your cooking, to be honest,” Jim said and then left.“This brat…” Marc’s blood boiled. Careless, he ended up touching the frying pan and then hissed in pain. “Ugh.” He kept blowing air to his fingers. “Fuck.”Meanwhile, Jim entered the gym
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 49
Jim didn’t specifically cook anything for himself. He simply blended some greens and drank the juice. The drink recovered his lost vitality after the three-hour long intense workout.As Jim was going out of the house, Shiney was standing by the Lamborghini as if she was waiting for him. She kept spinning the keys around her forefinger. “Where are you going? Want me to drop you off?”Jim would be lying if he didn’t want to feel this luxury car, but he knew that Shiney was a reckless driver, so he said, “No. I have my skates.” After crossing the gate, he put his rollerblades on and cruised down the street.Shiney came out the gate and saw him leave in a flash. “It always looks so cool. I tried learning how to rollerblade, but it was scary.” After she bruised her elbows and head a few times, she quit. “He’s lucky to have learned them when he was young.”After entering another street, Jim somewhat slowed down and went at a steady speed. With wind blowing in his hair, it was the nicest fee
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 50
Out of the four gangsters, Jim beat three of them out of their senses, and then took the fourth guy with him. The fourth guy kept telling Jim he’d give money. “Trust me, dude. You don’t want to do this. Our gang is filled with over fourteen guys. Some of them even went to jail. You don’t want to mess with them. Just take the money I’ll give you, and we’ll not come after that woman and her son anymore.” “I can’t trust the words that come from the mouth of a gangster,” Jim was frank about it. “I’m going to have to deal straight with the boss of your gang for messing with my people.” “Your people? How are you related to them?” “You don’t need to know that.” A few minutes later, Jim reached the destination on his rollerblades while dragging the gangster with him. The headquarters or the gathering point of these local thugs turned out to be a small abandoned kindergarten school which had many holes on its roof. “This place is so shitty even dogs wouldn’t want to stay here for long.

AUTHOR'S EPISTLE
THANK YOU:: JIM IS HIM… is finished! Have you enjoyed it? I hope so. I definitely enjoyed writing it as it was challenging. It was supposed to be a 500 chapter long work, but I condensed it and finished it quickly. To all those who read every chapter and reached this page… you have my humble thanks. A big thanks to readers Lynn Casey, Mickey Ritch, and Liwhundebe Emmanuel for their precious votes. A special thanks to Rex Magnus for his lovely review. Much appreciated, Brother. CHARACTERS:: I hope you can take away some memorable characters from this novel. My favorite character is Jim, not because he’s the protagonist, but because he will give me food if I go to his restaurant with empty pockets more than once. He didn't have many friends growing up, but if you ask Shiney, she’ll tell you that he’s the kind you wouldn’t want to end your relationship with once you get to know him. Then again, Shiney might give you a different answer depending on the mood she’s in when you ask her.

EPILOGUE
Sometime later.Jim and Rena were on a mountain top, enjoying the view of the magnificent forest. Her belly was slightly swollen.A couple of birds flew by.“How do they find food?” Rena curiously asked.“God provides for them,” Jim said.“Yeah, but he doesn’t drop food in their nests, would he?” Rena retorted.“We work like buffaloes, and then buy food, cook it, and then put it in our mouths, chew it, and then our stomach has to digest it,” Jim said. “Just like us, birds also fly about to find grains, bugs, spiders, and… they can see from afar unlike us. They can see a tiny spider that’s dancing on its web under a tree shade from hundreds of meters away. So, yeah, God equipped them with enough skills so they can feed themselves even though they don’t live under a roof like us.”Just then, a brown Bentley arrived at the scene.John stepped out first and then opened the door for her. She got up and said, “Why don’t you also carry me over there because I can’t walk, you know.”“I was ju

Seeing Rena enter the kitchen, Jim also rushed in. He took the coupons from her and then kissed her hand.This was part of the deal, after all.The thing that she requested of him for being a waitress was that he would kiss a part of her body once every time she would enter the kitchen. And she was loving it now as Jim was coming up to her no matter where he was or whatever he was doing and was kissing her in unexpected ways and in unexpected places at times. Luckily, the kitchen was not open for view, or it would have been impossible to have these cuddling and kissing endeavors.As they were hugging, Rena noticed a little creature sneakily enter the kitchen. “I-I-It’s a rat!”“WHAT?” Jim was shocked and angered. How dare a rat enter his restaurant on the day he opened it? And that, too, in the middle of the day? “Where is it?”“I don’t know. It disappeared,” Rena looked around but couldn’t find it.“These things are smart. The moment they think they’re in danger, they freeze,” Jim co

CHAPTER 404
Two weeks passed since Jim revealed his ancestry to those of the Draknor Finance company.At Bob Shriner’s house.Bob had kidnapped a six-year-old girl and tied her to a chair. Wearing a clown mask, he was dancing around her chair to make her cry and feel the horror of it.After all, sacrificing after torturing the prey would bring best results for any dark path ritual, so Bob was very excited about it.After finishing his dance, he revealed his hidden knife and stabbed the girl’s head from the top. The knife went right through her skull and came down from the chin. He was grinning; however, a second later, he realized that not a single drop of blood spilled, and the little girl was grinning at him as if she was the predator and he was the prey.Bob quickly stumbled back. “W-Who the hell are you?”“She’s Systa,” a voice came from behind Bob, sending a chill down his spine because he couldn’t even sense the presence of this person. He turned back but didn’t recognize this man who was n

CHAPTER 403
A few days after Jim revealed himself to the chairman of Draknor Finance.In Draknor Finance headquarters.Lola was working alone in the cafe as Jim had told her to not hire any workers and that she must run the cafe by herself for the next four years.She was making sandwiches in the cafe, and she ended up cutting a bit of her finger while cutting tomatoes. And it made her cry from pain and then cry some more because of the hardships she was facing. As if that wasn’t enough, when she took the sandwich to the customer, he complained to her saying, “I asked you to mildly heat them in order to keep them soft. Why did you roast them this much?”“Sorry, sir. I’ll do well next time.”“Next time? You mean you want me to eat this shit right now?” The customer was none other than Joker from the Beast Dungeon.“T-That’s not shit, sir. It’s only roasted a little more than you asked for.”“So, now, you’re teaching me, a new client of this company, about food,” he hissed at her and threw the sand

CHAPTER 402
“If you want to keep working in this company, then you need to do two things,” Jim said, and Lola already found herself losing her posture. “First thing. Give me my restaurant back.”“Done,” Lola didn’t even hesitate to agree. “What’s the second one?”Jim smiled and said, “There are multiple cafes in this building. I want you to open a new cafe and work as the main cook there. You’ll be taking care of that shop for the next four years. And then I’ll take reviews from the employees. If you get a majority of good votes, then I’ll promote you to a financier level. Otherwise…”Lola was shaking in rage. “You want me to cook and sell food like you and your dad did? Go to hell! I’m never doing that!” she shouted and walked away in haste.Marc followed her, but he pleasantly smiled at Jim.Jim, however, didn’t even bat an eyelid.After Marc and Lola left the building, with the latter looking extremely humiliated, Jim turned to face Rena, “Was I too harsh?”Rena slightly shook her head. “She h

Jim put his hand forward, and Steve gently held it and kissed it.Lola’s heart, brain, lungs, and many other organs seemed to be suddenly failing to work at this very instance. The mobile and handbag in Caylene’s hand dropped. Her dad tilted his head back in stupendous shock.Marc looked utterly dumbfounded.Tom and his dad and sister seemed supremely flummoxed.Austin, on the other hand, looked horrified. Elisha’s face also froze in a bit of horror.Rena was the only one who was able to move. “W-What is this, Jim?” She stepped forward. She knew who Steve was, so she looked at Steve. “Why are you bowing to my husband? What is this? Why did you call him Lord Jim?”“He’s from the line of kings, so how else would you want me to call him?” Steve replied, still kneeling even though it was hurting him to do that at his age.“F-From the line of Kings? Who? Jim?” Rena looked very confused.“I cannot speak more about the Lord while in his presence,” Steve added. “So, please forgive me for not

CHAPTER 400
On the ground floor, more than a dozen guards were lying on the floor. Some were still conscious but were in too much pain to get back.There were many people standing, but most of them were not even willing to step forward or get themselves involved in whatever was happening.Jim was still holding the broken arm of Austin who was crying blood at this point. Jim had defeated the guards while holding Austin’s arm. And this brought greater pain to Austin. The only reason he didn’t pass out from pain was because Jim bolstered his mind with psychic vivre so that he’d be able to endure it to an extent. Austin was not aware of this. Even though he was able to bear the pain, the pain was still there. He had to withstand the indescribable pain that throbbed all across his arm, especially near his elbow and shoulder.“Y-You monster…” Caylene couldn’t believe what had happened. She was not expecting Jim to defeat the guards so easily. “Just take some money and get lost from here.”“You can’t so

CHAPTER 399
Steve Millman was talking with someone on his mobile.“He is likely going to come to your office today,” Bernard was speaking from the other side.“Lord is?” Steve was startled. “Today?”“Treat him well. I’ll be sending you his photo, so don’t mess up, or you’re the only one who’s going to suffer, Steve,” Bernard said and ended the call.As Bernard waited, every second felt long.More than fifteen long seconds later, he received a notification. He saw the photo. “So, this is Jim Draknor. He looks to be barely thirty. No, he could be younger.” He gritted his teeth. “I have to bow to this brat?” His ego felt very hurt right now.He called someone on his mobile and said, “I sent you a picture. Find out his identity immediately.”“Yes, sir. Just give me a minute.”Steve stayed on the call, and then the person from the other side said, “Sir Steve, I found information on him. He used to be an ordinary chef, but only a day ago, his name has been spreading through the underground circles all
