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
Jonah saw Lucian twitch in agitation, but then he composed himself and smirked "You are still the same deadbeat loser you've always been. At least, I can get into the club even if it's by using my family's name. What do you have, huh? Nothing. The same loser you were in high school is the same one you are today. For all I know you probably stole someone's ID to get it, didn't you?",Jonah remained quiet for a while and then smiled "Crazy, you still think you're better than me". He was done talking to the man, so he turned around to leave His ignorant attitude infused Lucian's anger even moreIn his eyes, Jonah was a coward loser, a nobody, a mere servant for the vice president of Grindel Enterprise.But now, he could also walk into Hudson Country Club. Lucian saw it as an insult and humiliation!How could an inferior moocher stand side by side with him?At this time, he could not handle it anymore. He glared at Jonah agitatedly, pointed his fingers to his nose, then yelled "Spill it!
When Lucian saw the head of the country club, he felt this was his opportunity to further mock and belittle Jonah in front of Sasha, while proving his prowess to impress SashaHence, he strode forward with a radiant smile and said respectfully then extended his hand for a shake "President Hudson, it's an honor. I'm Lucian Castle",Alexander shot him a puzzled look and shifted his gaze over to Jonah. At a glance, he could tell that the face looked familiar, despite not being able to place itWhen Lucian saw that the president was not making any effort to shake him, he slowly retracted his hand embarrassingly and pointed disdainfully at Jonah"President Hudson, I suspect that this man used a fake or stolen membership card to gain entry into your country club. I tried to confront him about it and he tried to sneak his way out of it, but I know this man and I assure you that he must have stolen this membership card. You should have someone check it" Lucian started againFor privacy and se
