Jake got home later that evening feeling fulfilled and happy. He could picture the shocking expression on their faces when his Father announced his marriage to Claire Larryson.He remembered how Jefferson glared at him in jealousy. It may seem as though he were rather interested in Claire. Even though he doesn't have any feelings for Claire, he wants to make sure he gets married to her. That way, he would have victory over his evil Family members.“Ha.” Jake sighed in contempt yet satisfaction as he soaked himself in his bathtub containing warm water. “What an interesting way to spend a day off.” He mumbled slowly with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he remembered something that made him open his eyes, his lips formed into a thin smile. “Tomorrow is the weekend. Another day off, I should probably go somewhere to relax.” He spoke aloud to no one in particular.Jake spent about an hour in the bathroom before preparing for bed. Just as he was about to sleep, he received a message from Georg

Throughout the following weeks was more occupied for Jake as he also prepared for his wedding. His wedding was scheduled to be held in three months, he and Claire Larryson often met to plan things and also get to know each other better.Today, he was supposed to meet Zara over an ice cream. They already planned the night before that they'd see each other. Well, after that night he and Zara spoke, and they became friends and exchanged numbers. They constantly kept in touch and Jake used every opportunity he had to visit the clubhouse and have a few drinks with her. There was something different about Zara that he couldn't find in any woman. Was it her jovial attitude? Or her open-mindedness? He didn't know, but he knew he wanted more.Jake's phone suddenly rang, drifting him from his thoughts. He picked up the call at the second ring and placed the phone closer to his ear.“Sorry, I couldn't call you sooner.” A female voice sprang out of the phone.Jake chuckled softly as he closed h

Zara ran out of the restaurant and hid in an alley beside it. She knew Jake would come after her which is the reason she hid. She panted heavily as she kept her right palm on her forehead to calm herself. Soon, she sighted Jake searching around for her. Zara watched as he constantly stomped his left foot in frustration. After a while, she saw him get into his car and drove off. Zara sighed in relief and contemplated if it was right to leave the alley sooner."Brr." Her phone buzzed suddenly and she searched for it in her purse. After seeing the phone, she picked up the call and brought it closer to her hearing."Zara!" A voice yelled her name in nervousness through the phone."Max?" Zara asked as she wondered why her brother was calling her with another number."Where are you Zara?" Max asked curiously. "Did something happen?" Zara asked as she could sense the slight hesitation and worry in his voice."It's Father, he..." Max's voice trailed off as he was cut short by a long sigh o

Still at the hospital, Jake looked at Zara's father in confusion, he knew he had not mentioned his name since his arrival, yet the Man mentioned his surname too.“Father, how did you know his name?” Zara asked slowly as she exchanged glances with Jake.“Are you truly Jake Robinson?” Their Father asked again and Jake nodded in agreement.Zara's Father, Mr. Gabriel, signaled for them to help him sit up and they assisted him. Zara quickly fixed a pillow to support his back while he rested his head on the wall.“I've heard so much about you. My instincts told me you were the one.” Mr Gabriel spoke more slowly as his eyes scanned the drip in his hands.“I don't remember discussing Jake with you Dad, how come?” Zara asked curiously as she folded her arms.“I've seen him on the news before. I admire the fact you are smart and young. Like the way you won the case against the Y&S company.”Mr Gabriel stated.That was when Jake realized that the news about his victory was broadcast. How could he

Jake stood skeptical in his office. He was confused about why his family was at the shareholder's meeting. He sighed helplessly and looked at Agata who in turn looked at him in agitation.“Sir.” Agatha started. “We should head down to the meeting room, the shareholders are awaiting your arrival,” Agatha concluded as she picked up her notepad and took the files on Jake's table. Meanwhile, Jake sighed slowly and picked up his laptop. “Alright, let's go,” Jake spoke and they began walking out of his office.Lots of things were going on in Jake's thoughts as he wondered why his Family members wanted to ruin him at all costs. He knew for sure that they weren't there to silently listen to what he had to say. Jake had a bad feeling that the shareholders’ meeting wouldn't end well. They finally got to the Meeting room, Jake's secretary, Mr Steve ushered him to his seat and everyone stood up to welcome his arrival, apart from his family of course.

Jake, still with his phone placed in his ear, looked at Georgina in confusion. Why was she acting up because he was on the phone with a woman?“I'll call you back, take care,” Jake said to Zara before ending the call. He dropped his phone on the table and folded his arms.Georgina likewise, looked at Jake in shock. She didn't want to believe when Agatha said Jake was seeing Claire Larryson, and if she wasn't mistaken, was that not the voice she heard?“I was on a phone call and you interrupted.” Jake expressed his displeasure as he looked at the confused Georgina.“I…” her voice trailed off as she darted her eyes left and right, trying to avoid making eye contact with Jake.“Yes, I was talking to a woman, what was that all about? Should I talk to any woman again?” Jake asked her and she raised her head to meet Jake's gaze on her. Georgina felt Jake was already angry so she walked closer to him.” It's not like that, I'm sorry.” She spoke softly in embarrassment.“Now, you've created a

“what do you want to have all to yourself?” Maron asked Again as he watched the two girls look at him in shock yet surprise.“Maron?” Georgina mumbled as she continued looking at him. Maron fixed his hands in his pocket as he smirked slightly.” Why? Are you surprised?” He asked as he glanced briefly at Agatha.“Leave us!” He ordered and Agatha glared at him furiously. “You don't have the right to tell me to leave here. If anyone here is meant to leave, that should be you.” Agatha gritted her teeth.“Oh really?” Maron asked nonchalantly as he strolled closer to Agatha. He walked past her and sat at the initial bench they were sitting on. “What do you want?” Georgina asked in annoyance.” What I want.. .” He chuckled softly as he looked at both of them.“I doubt you have what I want,” Maron spoke in mockery as he picked up Georgina's milkshake and sipped from it.“You…” Georgina started as she clenched her fist in anger.” How dare you.” She spoke aloud.“Is it bad to drink from my fianc

Jake felt the hot soup which poured on his clothes, scald his arm a little. He winced a little in pain and looked at Claire.“Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, I…” Claire began panicking, causing the others to look in their direction. Mrs Jenny Larryson ran towards them and covered her mouth in shock.“I'm fine, don't worry.” Jake forced out a smile on his face as he stared at Claire. Meanwhile,Mrs Jenny Larryson couldn't agree to that fact. She sighted his scalded arms and exclaimed bitterly.“Oh geez! Take him to the restroom, I'd get first aid.” Mrs jenny spoke as she quickly walked out of the dining room.“Why can't you be careful!” General Ismael Larryson yelled at his daughter. “ Show him where to clean up.” He ordered and immediately, Claire ushered Jake to the visitor's room. “It's nothing, I'm alright.” Jake mumbled slowly as he gazed at the worried Claire. “It's my fault, I was acting clumsy.” Claire said with moist eyes. They finally got to the room and Jake looked around the lar
