Jake was so tired from the previous day's activities that he had slept off, forgetting that he had a lecture at 8am.The king's size bed in his room was so comfy that he didn't realise that he was already late for his class.The ringing of his phone woke him up, causing him to groan, as he reached out to grab his phone.The call was from Williams, and even without checking who the caller was, Jake picked up.“ Young Master.” Williams called from the other end of the phone, while Jake rubbed his sleepy eyes, sitting upright to listen to what Williams had to say.“ Why did you call?” Jake said in a husky morning voice, his hair scattered like that of a bed nest.“ Grandpa asked me to pass a message across to you.” Williams said, his voice slightly wavering.“ And what is that?” Jake asked, dipping his fingers into his scattered jet black hair.“ You're to get engaged to Risabel from the Storm family.” “ What! Why? I don't even know her and neither do I know her family!” Jake's eyes wid
After lectures, Jake decided to take a stroll around Brooklyn just before 8pm, when he was supposed to meet with his future fiancé.His phone ding and he took it to have a look.His eyes widened when he saw an alert of $200 million.Instinctively, He immediately dialled Samson Chen's line, and as if waiting for his call, Samson picked up.“ Hello, Young Master.” He started. “ Have you seen the money sent to you?”“ Why did you send me such an amount of money?” Jake asked.“ It is the profit from one of the subsidiary companies under the Acrobatic Empire.” Samson Chen went ahead to break everything down to Jake, but it seems he didn't understand anything. “ I know it's hard for you to understand how it works, but if you don't mind, I can bring the documents containing all the transactions for the past years.”“ No, no!” Jake was fast to decline. He didn't want to draw attention. “ Get it ready, I will come to you myself. How about we meet in a secluded place with fewer people?”“ Sure,
It was a bright summer afternoon in New York City. The streets were filled with activities. The roads were busy as cars went to and fro in a somewhat hypnotic scene. The legendary New York City, the city of towering dreams and endless possibilities. Amidst the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, hopes take flight like pigeons and set sail like ships. The dazzling lights of Times Square promise a future filled with excitement and chances waiting to be seized. In the midst of the urban buzz, pockets of beauty emerge—Central Park, a green haven where dreams find a peaceful spot. The Brooklyn Bridge links aspirations across the river, symbolising the connection between dreams and reality. Every neighbourhood, from the artsy SoHo to historic Greenwich Village, contributes to the city's diverse dreamscape. A city where each street corner tells a story, and the pursuit of dreams becomes a shared adventure beneath the twinkling skyline.“Kline!” a lean man in his forties called out.“Y
“What did you just call me?” Drex thundered again. His eyes were steamy and he was red with anger. His veins and muscles bulged in rhythm to his heavy breathing.Anger was evident on this huge man's face. Jake felt his courage leave him as soon as he was toe to toe with Drex. He immediately regretted his actions and wished he had kept silent instead of talking back at him. He braced himself for the worst as he attempted to give Drex a befitting response to his question.As Jake opened his mouth to speak, He was immediately interrupted by a sharp pain that struck his nose and lips. Blood trickled down his nostrils and lips. He spat out a wad of blood mixed with saliva.“Son of a bitch!” he muttered to himself as he realised that he had been punched in the face by Drex. He was a gym addict himself, and had quite a lot of stamina. If not, the punch would have instantly knocked him off his feet.He was still contemplating this when the second blow landed, jabbing him on his jaw, and this
Jake had just finished work for the day at Les Royales restaurant. As soon as he was allowed to leave, he took off his work uniform, hurriedly got on top of his bike, put on his backpack and put on his airpods. He switched on his favourite music playlist and sang along to the songs as he paddled swiftly towards his destination.Forty-five minutes later, He arrived at his destination, KwikStop Pizza. His night job where he had to do several door to door deliveries until daybreak. He went in, put on his uniform and resumed immediately. He hurried to his boss's office in order to receive his delivery list for the night as well as the deliveries to be delivered. He arrived at the office door and then knocked.“Hold on. I'll be with you in a minute!” his boss yelled from within the room. Sam, an employee came out of her office, sweating profusely, smiled at Jake and said “Hey man, you're here earlier than usual. The DILIGENT delivery guy.” he let out a loud laugh.His muscular figure seem
“Hey there, pretty boy. Why have you been playing hard to get? I know that you know very well that I want you, and I've been showing you signs all this while, and you've done a great job at pretending you don't like what you see. I have trailed you around and I know you don't have a girlfriend, so there's really no reason why you shouldn't satisfy me. I need this one favour from you Jake. I really need you! - Your Secret Admirer.”“Who could this be?” he wondered. “My boss?” he thought to himself. “She could have just used her normal email address. Maybe it's not her. Well, if it's not her …who is it?!” he kept thinking of who else apart from his boss was making advances on him. He finally decided to sleep it off and try to figure it out in the morning. ***Maria sat in her bathtub, feeling satisfied as she had put her plan into motion. Jake knows she wants him, but then he's probably trying to figure out whether or not she really is his secret admirer. He
Jake immediately looked away from his boss's half-naked body. He was already in her trap. He couldn't see how he could possibly have escaped this scenario without losing his job. His boss was going to make her advances clear to him, and he would have to either comply and keep his job while losing his dignity—and virginity—or decline her advances and lose his second job. Jake has never slept with a lady, not even his ex-girlfriend, Zara, because she always gave him excuses and wouldn't let him near or touch her. He wondered how he was barely able to afford a comfortable life with both jobs and how much worse it would become if he only had to keep one.“Ma'am what are you doing? This isn't right!” he said, trying his best to hide the disgust he felt towards her, seeing her dressed like a hooker.“No, no, NO! Jakey. Don't be such a baby about this.” she teased him, chuckling. “You know very well what I want from you Pretty Boy. I want you to make love to me. I want to taste the warmth in
“You deaf or something?!” the voice yelled as the person—appearing as a hulking silhouette in the dark of the night—approached him swiftly.Jake made no attempt to speed up or try to get away from him. As the person got closer, he recognized the voice. It was Drex's voice, he probably wanted to get back at Jake for what happened between the both of them the other day at work. Jake was not in the mood to deal with that kind of confrontation. He was still pondering these thoughts when he felt a strong pull on his shoulder, which sent him falling off his bike and onto the pavement, bruising his knees and elbows.“You think you're such a tough guy huh?! I'll show you punk!” Drex said, kicking Jake in his midsection as he lay on the ground.Jake coughed and spat on the spot as the kick immediately knocked the air out of his lungs.“What do you want from me?!” Jake screamed at Drex.“To finish the fight you started, Twerp!” Drex said as he threw another punch. Although, his blow didn't hit
