The days of hiding from the press were finally over, Jake walked briskly, yet gallantly to his office, and all his employees were baffled at his aura. There was no ounce of sadness or frustration on his face. Those who wanted to give their sympathy held it to themselves, Although they wondered why he was able to maintain such composure, they kept quiet and wondered among themselves.Jake sighed impatiently as he waited for the elevator to get to the eleventh floor. He fixed his jacket properly with his right hand while he held on to his briefcase with the other hand. Soon, he heard a clicking sound and the doors to the elevator opened to review a passage. He came out almost immediately and walked through to the end of the passage to reveal another door. He opened it and was welcomed by his secretary who rushed to collect his briefcase and opened the door leading to his office. That's how secluded Jake's office is to the other offices in the company.

Truly, Jefferson and Jake were fighting. The fight started initially when Jake came across Claire in a restaurant while having his lunch break. He was quite surprised to see Claire, just as he was about to walk up to her and apologize to her for what had happened since he hadn't seen her, He saw Jefferson sit in front of her. He watched as they shook hands and began talking slowly. It may seem as though Jefferson was trying to cajole her or rather still, trying to apologize because Claire had an expressionless face.“What is it trying to do?” Jake mumbled softly as he glanced at them once in a while. Soon, Jefferson stood up and left with an unusual smile on his face.“That smile is creepy and suspicious.” Jake suspected as he mumbled slowly. At this point, Jake was conflicted if he should go and meet Claire since he didn't know what they discussed. After a moment of thought, Claire also stood up and left the restaurant. But not before finishing her meal. Seeing that as an opportuni

Jake looked at Sandra in shock as she gripped a pocket knife tightly.” What the fuck are you trying to do?” He queried.“I'm trying to get rid of the imperfections in your life! Isn't that what you always wanted?” Sandra asked before raising the knife. “I'm going to kill myself and our child!” She further yelled. At this point, Jake knew he had to act smartly. He knew Sandra well enough, that if her mind was navigated on something, she was going to do so.“Give me the knife,” Jake commanded as he stretched his left hand towards her.“I'm not giving you if I kill myself, you'd stop all your troubles,” Sandra replied hotly as she stepped back.“Give me the knife, Sandra, do not make me hijack it from you.” Jake threatened and she shrugged nonchalantly, Still holding the knife.“You think you can have a better life once I'm dead? Hell no! You'd rot in jail, where you truly belong!” Sandra yelled hysterically.“Stop this nonsense and give me the damn knife!” Jake spoke coldly, trying to

"This is the third time I'm calling him and he's still not picking up. Why isn't he answering my calls? I'm very sure he's with his phone because he's never without his phone" Sandra murmurs to herself, pacing with her phone in her hand.She dialed Jake once more and it went straight to voicemail this time around. With a rather displeasing look on her face, she stared at her phone like so hard, like staring it would prompt Jake to pick up the phone or return her call in the least."What could possibly be the reason he's not picking up my calls? He shouldn't be at the company or the foundation by this time so what exactly is keeping him?" Sandra asks no one in particular, anger evident in her voice."If he's not at the company or the foundation then could he possibly be? Could something have happened or maybe......." Sandra trailed off and stopped pacing as realization hit her."No no no no no. There's no way, it's not possible. It can't be. He can't possibly he's with her can he?" Sa

"Well, my day started nice because I was thinking of last night, you in particular. It just took a wrong turn though, as a result of the news getting to me not less than about 30 minutes ago" Jake says to Zara on the other end.He proceeds to narrate the events that took place not too long ago to Zara and it leaves her speechless, bemused, and very much engaged because she detests people who take advantage of others."The nerve of those men, I can't believe they did that and still dared to deny it in front of you and those poor, innocent women. I'm sure they both have families, yet they dare to do this to someone else?" Zara is enraged at what Jake just told her."That's exactly how I felt when I heard of it, and the fact that it was reported before but nothing was said or done to those scumbags, no form of action was taken against them. It fills me with rage to even imagine what those women would have been going through. I'm not even related to them and I'm this pissed just imagine i

Jake and Zara are seen in the restaurant preparing to have dinner together as they earlier planned.They chose to have dinner in an Italian restaurant this time. The waiter comes forward, offers them the menu, and asks if they're ready to order."Umm not yet, you can leave the menu. We'll let you know when we're ready, for now, we'll just have a glass of water each" Zara says first."Instead of the water, bring us your best wine, a glass for both of us, or just bring the bottle" Jake counters while smiling at Zara causing her mouth to hang open."What color sir? Red or white?" The waiter asks Jake."White wine please, thank you," Jake says as the waiter nods before leaving. "Why'd you do that Jake? Why did you ask for wine when we could have just had water and why ask for the whole bottle?" Zara asks Jake, still in shock."I presume you told the waiter to hold with the food because you wanted to say or ask me something and you didn't want to have to share your attention between the f
