Jake ran as fast as his legs could get him, chasing after the young man who stole from the perfume store. The chase was getting heated by each passing seconds but in no time, Jake caught up with the thief by throwing a flying kick at him, which made him fall flat to the ground. “ Who the fuck are you? Why can't you let me be?” The thief groaned as he turned around from the floor to glare at Jake who was breathing heavily because of the heavy chase. “ Do you know the amount of perfume you just stole? It's worth more than $7,000, are you aware that the cashier might get fired because of this single perfume?” Jake asked, his glares were murderous which made the thief shift back on his butt. “ Take the perfume and let me go” the thief tried to negotiate with Jake. “ I can see that you're also poor like me,” the thief said, looking at Jake's cheap clothes. “ How about we sell the perfume and share the money equally?” The thief was in for negotiation but Jake wasn't. “ I see that you
Weston’s car kept following behind the cab that Jake was in and when he noticed that he was being followed, he told the cab driver to change direction. At first, he thought of going to the villa but had to change his mind so as to cut the trail off him. Jake decided to stop at a restaurant to eat. He paid off the cab driver who left afterwards. Seeing that Jake stopped in a restaurant, Weston stopped trailing him and left with Zara afterwards. “ What is their problem? Why are they after me?” Jake muttered and continued eating his dinner. After eating, he decided to visit the men’s washroom since he was feeling pressed. As he made his way to the washroom, he began to hear whimpers and muffled cries inside one of the men’s washroom. “ Who is that?” Jake frowned and wanted to help the person out, but he stopped himself from going any further. He turned around and left for another washroom, and after he was done he began to make his way out of the washroom, but stopped when
NEXT DAY “ Hello Young master, where are you? Chairman Lawson is already at the restaurant.” Williams said at the other end of the phone. “ I am on my way, Williams. I had to take care of a mess last night which took my time until this afternoon.” Jake replied as he was about to flag down a cab. “ Don't call a cab, Young master. A red Lamborghini Gallardo is coming to pick you up in three minutes.” Williams said, causing Jake to cock his eyebrows. “ Who sent the car?” “ Chairman Lawson did." Williams started. " He just couldn't overlook the fact that the heir of Acrobatic Empire would come see him in a cab." Williams continued, while Jake chuckled. “ I see," Jake said. " That old man is a handful,” Jake mumbled. He was still speaking with Williams when a red Lamborghini Gallardo, just as Williams had explained, pulled up in front of him. Two hefty looking men dressed in suits came out of the car to welcome Jake. “ Good day, Young master. We were sent by the chairman to bring
Soon the chefs started dishing out the various delicacies. Jake was marvelled but hid it in. His excitement at that moment was second to none. Soon the chefs were done and they all left leaving the duo together under the ambiance of soft music inside the room. “ Dig in, you must be hungry” Grandpa Lawson urged with a smile. “ Thanks” Jake smiled and took his cutleries. He started eating slowly though he was tempted to dig in, but the first impression mattered most to him. Grandpa Lawson saw that Jake was eating slowly, causing him to chuckle. “ You want to leave a first impression? Huh?” The old man was impressed at how reserved and gentle his grandson was. “ Yeah,” Jake smiled awkwardly and began to dig in this time, since his grandpa already knew why he was eating slowly at first. They continued eating in silence for about thirty minutes until Jake was filled up and took a wipe to wipe his lips. “ I guess you're filled up already.” Grandpa Lawson smiled and turned towards th
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
