"Why are you looking for me?" Jonah shouted back, and at this time Henry Boyd and the youngsters emerged through the stairs, hurrying towards the helicopter with their guns drawn out"No! Don't shoot!" Jonah shouted in panicHenry was confused, but he swiftly ordered his youngsters to stop. Don Petro was not someone he wanted trouble with and if his young master had decided that there was no need to fight the man, he was not going to risk it either"Good call Mr Blake, maybe you're different than what I thought afterall" Don Petro said as the chopper flew away"What just happened?" Henry Boyd asked with a puzzled look on his face, quickly approaching Jonah"I thought you wanted him captured, why did you let him go?", he continued, looking at Jonah in confusionJonah turned towards him and said persuasively "You were right" he uttered flatly"What do you mean?", Henry asked, gesturing to his youngsters to scan and secure the roof"He doesn't want to kill me. He had a clear shot from th
"Ms Smith, can you come up to the stage please?", Vic's voice resonated across the hallAva was equally confused when Vic called her to the stage. She turned to look at Jonah and his face was still inexpressive. On the other hand, the crowd stared at her with curiosity and bewilderment"Don't leave him hanging up there and embarrass us" Morraine chided with a frown on her foreheadAt this point, Ava felt divided. Recalling what Vic had said earlier when she met him outside, she started to feel a little odd about his behavior. He seemed to have suddenly changed since they arrived at this event.There were a lot of things that he said that did not add up, and she guessed it all was because of Jonah.However, she could not disobey her mother and against her better judgment, Ava slowly strode to the stage, ignoring the curious glances from the crowd, and stood in front of Vic, wearing a sheepish smileVic lifted the microphone again and started "Thank you, Ms Smith. I know crowded spaces
Keenan's appeal for a revisit to the Francis collaboration was a mere attempt to get Jonah's attentionThe Ferr family was known for owning the biggest Freight business in the city and as a result of this, they formed a deep partnership with major businesses and enterprises in the country A few years after Jonah's parents had disappeared, their absence sent a shockwave through the company's stocks and in a few minutes Grindel Capital stocks started plummeting due to lack of proper management. In about a week, 20 billion was swept out of the Grindel Account and some shareholders started pulling their shares from the company However, there was one man who saw this as a diamond in the rough, Kienan FerrWhen Kienan learned of Donald Blake's disappearance, he found that this was the perfect time to invest in Grindel Enterprise, Kienan jumped on the opportunity and bought about 20 percent of shares from the shareholders that pulled out and as he had expected, when Grindel Enterprise sh
Sasha Ferr was assigned an important mission to Grindel Enterprise this time. From the obvious perspective, she was here for the new job at the company, but she had a much larger hidden agenda from her family.Her father Keenan had informed her that according to top secret information, the Blake family which was the wealthiest and most powerful family in the entire country had found their heir who had been missing for years after his parent's disappearance. That also, he had returned to Grindel Enterprise and was working as the President of the company to sharpen his entrepreneurial skillsIn Eldredge City which was filled with many prominent and powerful families, although the Ferr were on the upper level of the peak of that social pyramid, they were still ranked as the second family in the city. The Blake family was much more powerful and famous than they wereNow that it had come to Keenan's notice that the young master of the Blake family had returned to the company, and even bett
Very quickly, she shook her head, denying her thought, and chuckled slightlyJonah couldn't be the President of Grindel Enterprise. From what she learned about him after he disappeared on the last time she was in the city, he was a mere errand boy and live-in son-in-law of the Smith family, which was incomparable to the Blakes.If Jonah was really the heir of the Blake fortune, why would he stay and suffer in their hands for that long?As she pondered this, a question suddenly rose in her mind. If Jonah was truly being treated as garbage by the Smith family, why didn't he jump at the first opportunity to get into a relationship with her, and maybe finally escape his torment? What was he holding on to?At that point, she decided to bury the questions in the back of her mind. She must be overthinking this!There was only one way to get the answers she needed, and that was by talking to the man himself, and the sooner she got through this meeting with the president of Grindel Enterprise,
The plan was afoot. Jonah had assigned Jerry with the task of getting Sasha booked and welcomedFor now, there was something else he had to attend to, something more urgent He was in the backseat of a taxi when he saw the notice - Ava's and Vic's wedding was in a weekAs he read the headline news, his face immediately twisted in dismay. Everything surrounding this marriage seemed fishy. Jonah figured that Vic had an ulterior motive towards this wedding and by any luck talking to him would get the bastard to reveal his plansJerry had checked his morning schedule and discovered that Vic would be at MacHealth gym, so decided to meet with him thereThe taxi pulled over a few meters away from the entrance, and after Jonah settled the fare, he stepped out and headed toward the gymUnlike the rest of the people in there, Jonah was the only abnormality. Dressed in a formal shirt and business pants, Vic felt the man was just begging to be made fun ofJonah walked in and searched around the r
"I'll let you pick out what weight we start with," Vic said with a sly grin. He was certain that Jonah would start with lightweight being his first time in a gym, and he could take the chance to show off to the ladies that gathered.Jonah saw that Vic had no real intentions for Ava, and would end up hurting her by cheating with any girl that would give him attention. Hence, he decided that he had to do whatever he could do to get the Vic to reveal his schemeWith that flowing in mind, he nodded and walked toward the bench area"Hey everyone, watch as I teach this scrawny dude how to lift weights," Vic said, laughing mockingly, following Jonah to the bench areaA large crowd immediately gathered, earnestly intrigued to watch the showdownMuch to everyone's surprise, Jonah walked to the dumbells on the floor and started fixing the 150 pounds size into the rodVic was slightly confused and his eyes widened in shock. This was not the lightweight size Jonah was fitting into the rodWhat wa
"These gentlemen are giving us quite the show. Let's see who will win the second death round",Vic grabbed the barbell, tightened his hand, and shifted a disdainful gaze at Jonah"Same set of rules, guys. Maximum reps win, this is the last set so give it all you got. Go!"As soon as his voice fell, Vic grabbed the barbell and lifted it. Seeing his enthusiastic energy, the crowd started cheering on and counting again,Jonah knew that Vic was going to lose, but he wanted to humiliate him furtherHence he did not lift his reps in a hurry. While lifting, he pretended as if his muscles were straining,"Looks like our former winner is losing" Jake announced teasing Jonah. When Vic heard this, he glanced at Jonah from the corner of his eyes and laughed "What's wrong Jonah? You look like you're struggling over there" Vic grunted as he slowly pushed the weights"...14...15..." The crowd's cheer intensified, showering Vic with praises"Wow, he's so strong, look at his biceps," one girl said, tu
