Henry marched forward furiously and sneered at her "Laura Albert, watch your tongue! He is Jonah Blake! The young master of the Blake family!"As Henry spoke, Luara stared at him curiously and then gasped at the recognition. She could not believe it, she had been so arrogant the entire time, that she couldn't even recognize that the man standing in the room was Henry Boyd, the spokesperson of the infamous mafia Lord Tony Accardo in Eldredge He was also the man who had singlehandedly ruined many businesses in the city and was now rumored to be working for the Blake familyHow could she have been so ignorant?Why was he here?Could it be...Could it be...The young man was really... really the young master...of the Blake family?The old haggard woman collapsed on the floor instantly on her knees and started pleading "Young master..." but then Henry suddenly raged authoritatively "Silence!"Upon barking his command, Luara swallowed hard and then realized that the young master probably d
Soon after that, a quick snap resonated, followed by a painful screamHenry took the metal baton and swung it across Luara's thighs as she pleaded to no availLaura's hand broke immediatelyQuickly, the bodyguard followed through with another swing Crack!Laura had now been crippledIt was a fitting punishment, both she and Justin were now paraplegic The damage was so severe, that there would never be a chance of recovery But still, that was not enough for Jonah when he remembered the humiliation he suffered in Laura's hand when he was still the live-in son-in-law of the Smith family and the fact that Laura was just going going let Justin walk away after assaulting Sasha, he decided to teach her another unforgettable lessonWith that resolve flowing in mind, he looked around in disgust, then turned towards Henry and said "The people in this building are all criminals, they would rather let someone with a history of crime and sexual assault go scot-free. Who knows what else they've
Laura watched the entire process in horror.This was all her hard work reduced to a pile of rubbish. Every brick, every tile, every beam, everything was the result of the hard work she had put into this enterprise most of her lifeIt could be said that after her divorce and losing her family, the enterprise was now like a child And now she had to watch the child being torn down which was as tormenting and horrible as she could ever imagineAt this point, she didn't want to live in this world anymore and just wished for a quick deathHowever, Jonah would not let her die so easilyHe wanted her to taste the pain and live consciously knowing that she was taken down by a man she considered nothing but a mere loserAs the building crumbled to the ground, he glanced at both of them and said coldly "I've spared both your miserable lives, because death is a fate far lesser than the crimes you've committed, but I want you to keep this in mind, that I have people everywhere and if any of you d
Sasha frowned in confusion and said "Jonah, that building has been in operation for so many years. And it was razed to the ground by an explosion in one office. It is quite unbelievable And how did Luara even get paralysed?",Jonah seemed conflicted at that point, he didn't think that Sasha would press on about the issue. He quickly thought up another lie and said "It is true","And frankly I think it's quite awesome too. I think she was being punished for her misbehavior" Then his tone softened, Jonah reached out and held Sasha's hand carefully as he spoke "You have to understand that these people were not good. A lot of people have suffered in their hands and I think this is just karma getting at them. But you don't really have to concern yourself with these things now",However Sasha was still not convinced, something didn't seem right and as such she asked "How then did she get paralysed?","The explosion had a severe magnitude similar to a level 2 earthquake, when it happened,
After managing to convince her about the incident at Laura's offices, Jonah stood up from her bedside, pacing around uncomfortablyWhen Sasha saw him moving that frantically, she smiled wryly. She knew what this was about. In a moment of relief, she hugged him and could tell there was a brief connection between them. This might have freaked him out and was the reason he was pacing about uncomfortably now.Hence, she stood up and said softly "I'm sorry","Huh?" Jonah replied in confusion"I know you already told me we can't be anything more and that's okay, I was just excited and relieved to hear that you came for me" she spoke softlyJonah stared at her with a soft smile on his lips and said, "No, no. That is not what this is about" Then chuckled dryly"Oh" Sasha uttered disappointedly, feeling red in the face from embarrassment, and sat back on her bedFilled with curiosity, she shifted her gaze towards him and asked "You said you were on your way to meet me when you received my call
"I have a few conditions," Sasha said Jonah answered straight away, "That's fair. What are your terms?" "First if my company is going to be the supplier for this project, I would like to make an official announcement in the media about it", Jonah shot her a curious look. He could not understand why that was necessary but decided to oblige. At this point, they did not have much options to go with"Also, there's an exclusive club I've been trying to get into. As you can tell we don't have strong roots in this city. I've been trying for months to meet with the top men in that club to do business with them, but for some reason, they kept denying me admittance and with the recent news surrounding my father, I doubt they'll be granting me membership anymore. But certainly, if the president of Grindel Enterprise should vouch for me, then I'm sure they would like to head my pitch",Jonah nodded in response "Consider it done","Which then brings us to my final condition. I would also like
The next morning when Sasha came out of her room early in the morning, Jonah was already waiting patiently in the visitor's lounge and greeted her as soon as he saw her"Good morning Ms. Ferr, come on let's go or we'll be late" Sasha was a little surprised to see him, and still in shock. She had spent weeks trying to meet with the president of Grindel Enterprise and was excited to finally get a chance to book an appointment with himWhen she heard that Jerry Paul, the spokesperson of the President, and the Blake family wanted to meet with her the next morning to make their arrangements legal, she couldn't sleep due to excitementThe first thing that morning, after hurriedly bathing, she checked in with the downstairs front desk partly thinking that Jonah was just playing tricks on her, but to her greatest surprise, he was already waiting in the loungeThis seemed too real to believe. Before she left her room, she spent a few minutes practicing what she'd say to the president of the c
Upon confirming that their invite was legitimate, Sasha heaved a sigh of relief and walked into the country club with JonahImmediately, she scanned her eyes around and started searching for Logan Henshaw, the chairman of the multinational factory Breegan. He was one of the people she hoped to have met todayHowever, just then, Jonah heard a loud laughter across the room and when he shifted his gaze toward the direction, a dash of shock flashed across his face when he saw the man Cocky and prideful as always, Lucian who dressed up as if he was at an underground rave walked in with much swagger Immediately they locked eyes and Jonah knew that the man was bound to create a sceneLucian frowned in shock. This was a top exclusive country club that even he could not easily get into. The only reason he was here was because he had used his father's membership card to get inSo why was his high school nemesis Jonah here, and even much so with such a beautiful woman on his armWhat was the d
