JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 60
At five o’clock in the evening. Not a single soul had been called inside, and Jim was so frustrated he started laughing all of a sudden, making the others wonder if he had gone crazy because Jim wasn’t even looking at a mobile or a tablet. After waiting for more than two hours, doing nothing but watching garden lizards and squirrels roam about on the lawn, Jim long reached his limit. The only difference was that instead of crying he was laughing, so as to not look pathetic. Jim was someone who avoided queues, whether it be at supermarkets or polling stations, but now, he couldn’t avoid the slow torture. He very much wanted to leave, but because Julia and Daniel were also involved in the issue, he swallowed his frustrations. After laughing long enough to release his negative emotions, Jim suddenly went calm as a church mouse. This behavior also seemed weird to others around him. A couple of them couldn’t wait anymore and left. Jim wished everyone else would leave, but the reality w
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 61
As Carsen and his family members were walking back to the main gate, the guard saw Jim tagging along with them and quickly intervened, saying, “Sir, this one’s a poor thief and a trickster. Don’t let him fool—”BAM~!Carsen swiftly slapped the guard, leaving him shocked.“Watch your words,” Carsen growled at him. “How dare you call this esteemed guest a thief?”The guard looked extremely baffled and hurt as well because Carsen didn’t hold back in putting strength into the slap.“Apologize to him right away,” Carsen ordered, shaking like an alpha grizzly bear.The guard frowned and then quickly lowered his head before Jim, “I’m sorry, sir. I must have mistaken you for someone else.”“Forget it,” Jim waved his hand rather indifferently and looked at Carsen. “Let’s go, sir. We can’t waste even a second with this case.”“You’re right.” Carsen and Jim hurried first into Carsen’s personal office.When Jim played the audio on his mobile, it was so shocking, Carsen sent his family members out
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 62
By midnight, two security guards were stationed outside Julia’s house. They were wearing casual outfits and were roaming like ordinary people, but they were hiding guns in many places, including many corners of Julia’s house.After Jim told Julia and Daniel about the guards, he said he had to return to his home because Rena would have long come back. Though Daniel wanted him to stay, Julia told him to go home.Jim told Daniel to be brave and take care of his mother.He then headed home.At Lola’s house.Marc was talking with his two daughters while having breakfast. “It’s been more than a day since Jim left the house. His phone is switched off, so I can’t help but wonder what kind of stupid habits he’s learning outside. It’s never a good sign when a man, especially a jobless man, stays outside home for a long time.” His target was his eldest daughter, but she was calmly eating. “Rena… did you hear what I said?”“I did,” Rena looked rather tired because she had to walk a lot during her
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 63
Jim’s sweet words melted Rena’s heart enough to give him the green signal. However, she asked him for some time to arrange the 5000 dollars.Jim understood from her words that she probably wasn’t planning to tell her mother she needed 5000 dollars for some personal reasons. She might rather ask her friends for some money. Jim knew that this wasn’t a good move, but how could he tell her that when he was the one receiving help?“I hope she won’t take the money for interest, but 5000 dollars isn’t a small amount. Even if we add 20% yearly interest, it will become 6000 dollars in a year. If it’s monthly, that’s even worse,” Jim thought. “If Lola learns about this, she won’t let Rena be. I have to warn Rena as soon as possible, but in a way she’ll understand it, instead of thinking I’m just being too bothersome.”Somewhere else in the city.Bernard Williams was traveling in a special SUV personally built for him. This looked much more classier than Carsen’s vehicle.“I heard Carsen’s daugh

Bob and Lola came out of the museum, wearing masks that covered their noses and mouths, so that people wouldn’t recognize them.They both quickly got into a taxi that was waiting for them and left. The driver was also a worker of the same company, so they could freely talk about what happened inside the museum.“How did you come to know about this company called Silent Soul?” Bob curiously asked. “From outside, it looked like a regular museum. Honestly, I didn’t believe you until I was shown video footage of all the auctions they made in the past. It’s a multi billion dollar business. So, how did you come to know about them?”“It’s a secret, so I can’t tell you,” Lola said.“Oh, it’s fine. I’m just glad that I can sell those paintings I drew when I was horny,” Bob laughed a little. “I never showed those paintings to anybody, not even my ex-wife, but I’m happy they finally became useful thanks to your idea of selling them. In two weeks, I’ll be able to pay you the money you want, but o
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 65
Jim and Rena didn’t spend as much time showering as both of them wanted because Rena’s mobile rang multiple times, and she had to leave.Jim, however, spent more time relaxing in the bathtub. The cold water relaxed his muscles very much.[You look so happy, but did you forget that you need to make your aunt pay for me to recognize you as my master?] Joe reminded him.“She’s changed her mind and is willing to buy a restaurant for me,” Jim reasoned. “So, what’s the point of taking revenge now?”[She made you suffer for years after marriage, Jim. She blatantly told you that she won’t give you a penny.] Joe blurted. [Such a woman wouldn’t change her mind overnight, definitely not for a good reason. You have all the more reason to be worried now because she wants to help you.]Jim’s expression changed. “You think she has some ulterior motive?”[I’d be more surprised if she didn’t.]Jim frowned. “She definitely said she won’t give my money back, but we don’t know for sure if she cursed the
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 66
Marc didn’t go out alone in the car but took Shiney with him. It was actually Shiney who wanted to ride the car at night, but Lola wouldn’t agree to that, so Marc had to take permission from Lola.After driving for a while, they bought ice creams and had a great time before returning home at around one o’clock in the night.To Shiney’s surprise, Jim was talking with some stranger—Jim’s bodyguard in disguise—outside the gate. Seeing them, Jim came and opened the car door.“Thanks,” Shiney said and stepped out. She lifted up the keys in her hand. “Want to go for a ride?”“I don’t think so,” Marc quickly came and pulled the keys out of her hand before parking the car inside the house and then told Jim and Shiney to come inside as he needed to properly close the gates and switch on the alarm system in case some thieves tried to break in and steal the car.“Driving at night, and that, too, a lambo… it’s dangerous,” Jim told Shiney. “What’s more, you took your father along. Do you have any
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 67
The next morning.Jim had been waiting outside in his suit for almost an hour. Shiney was the first to come out. Seeing Jim in the black suit, she cast a romantic smile at him. “I never thought that the most handsome man in the world would become my… brother-in-law. God surely has something against me.”Jim heard her loud and clear, so he said, “Maybe he’s kept aside someone who’s better and more fitting to you.”“I highly doubt that,” she snorted and then came and sat on the hood of the lambo.Moments later, Lola came out of the house and yelled at Shiney straight away, “Where are you sitting? Get your ass off the car!”Shiney quickly got up.“Couldn’t you find a better place to sit at?” Lola scolded her some more.“M-Mom, I was…” Shiney tried to explain, but Lola didn’t let her. Jim was amused from seeing Shiney get scolded.Eventually, everyone in the house came out as they were all going to Drake's restaurant, the one previously owned by Marcus Drake, Jim’s dad.Jim wanted to ente

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

CHAPTER 405
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
