Rise of the lowly janitor Identity
*Jake POV*Six hours after the attack on the president….“Good evening, Mr Anderson. Or should I say high profile spy, undercover agent, secret service agent and ARF agent?”Tanya runs through the many identities everyone has speculated about me. I don’t know how long she has been awake surfing the net. “Hey, Gorgeous. ARF, really now?”“Apparently, the Asherway Restricted Fraternity agent stays inactive for years. They behave like ordinary citizens until something big like the attack on the president or the country happens.” Tanya is really intrigued by all of this, so I decide to entertain her.“They are the ultimate agents, extremely connected, no families, the best martial artists, swimmers, snipers…” I add, amused. This is a myth every Asherway citizen has heard yet no one knows of any ARF agent. She turns her phone around to show me a video with over a million views already. My jaw drops as I sit up.“That’s over years ago!” I am really shocked that someone has dug up my swim
Rise of the lowly janitor Amiss
*Jake POV*I am driving through the busiest intersection that’s two blocks away from the highest office on land when Tanya brings her phone to my face.“Tanya!” Now that she has decided to be a full time passenger in her own car, she forgets that a driver needs to focus and see the way.She ignores my tone and waves the phone in front of me. “Jake, look.”“This is the busiest intersection here, Tanya. I will crash your car and cause a huge accident if I look at whatever that is,” I snap before slamming on the breaks. Only then does she see that we almost bumped the car in front of us. Her phone was blocking my vision and I could not see that the traffic had come to a sudden standstill. “Sorry,” she says with a squeaky sulking voice. Great, now she is sulking instead of acknowledging her mistake. I don’t understand why women are so emotional about these things. Now I am feeling bad for snapping at her. Fine, maybe I should not have snapped. The truth is I am on urge since Leticia
Rise of the lowly janitor Chess piece
*Jake POV*One more glance at the president, a quick scan in the office and there it is. My heart starts racing and the sense of calmness and extreme alertness washes over me like euphoria. Picking up the sharp metallic portrait from his desk, I grab the president by his elbow and usher him towards the door. “Jake?”I don’t quite understand why he seems confused by my actions but there is a threat here, I am certain of it. I have just turned the door knob without giving him any explanation when a voice I have only heard once but will never forget, speaks. “We mean no harm, Mr Anderson.”Mr Smith and another grey haired man around his age, stand at the far end of the office. There must be a secret door in here or some illusion of sort because I did not see them in here earlier and I did thoroughly scan the room “What was it that gave us away?” the other man asks, curiously. I look at the president, searching him for any clues of weather I should let my gut down or not. He nods, b
Rise of the lowly janitor Roots
*Jake POV*I grab the man closest to me and aim the sharp portrait directly at his jugular. They just revealed their identity to me and now this!If it’s my day to die, I am taking Tom with me. Len puts his hands in his pockets with a huge grin on his face. My heart is now racing, I want to wipe that smug with my fist. “Easy, Son. That’s your godfather.”What the hell? A godfather aughts to have taken care of me when I became an orphan. They must think I am an idiot. Len must have read my mind because he continues. “Well, I am too, so is Joe, but he was more of a parenting type than the two of us.”The mention of Bra Joe takes me by surprise when it aught not. He is another mystery I have been struggling to understand for a long time. Now that I know that ARF really exists, it make sense that he was one.“You better start telling me everything I want to know because I will push this through his neck,” I threaten pressing the sharp portrait on Tom’s neck. This man actually laughs a
Rise of the lowly janitor Creepy
*Jake POV*I am about to start the engine when Tanya screams in horror, startled by something moving in the backseat. I curse inside when Len emerges and looks at me with a porker face. This guy is probably the creepiest person I have ever met. “How did you know that we were there?” his voice is strained and agitated. I can’t believe this! This psycho broke into the car just to ask me this. “The raw indentation on the president’s neck was probably caused by a sharp blade pressed against the skin. The blood stained tissues in the bin, most likely from wiping the blood from the small incision on the left side. The man is not suicidal and could not have done that to himself. He took the long unnatural way to his desk after letting me in as if avoiding something.” That’s what I found amiss when I walked into that office. “Huh!”That is all he says before getting off and I can’t help but let out a sigh of relief. “W..who was that?”Tanya is clearly still shaken and I don’t blame her
Rise of the lowly janitor Unbelievable
*Jake POV*The special agents quietly follow me around the race track. The white markings of where the president’s guards and the shooters died are still visible on the ground. I can’t help but hurt for such a loss. I remember every face because I was there when the forensic pathologist bagged all of them. “Are you okay, Sir?” one agent asks. “I mean, Jake,” he quickly corrects himself. I nod my head. “Call me weak but I revere life. They were fellow humans only performing their duties. Sons, daughters, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, parents, friends. They mattered to someone.”I am completely aware that they are the best of the military and probably used to their fellow soldiers dying. They would probably find my sentiments about human life pathetic. The beauty of it is that I don’t have to impress any of them, nor am I desperate for their respect. They all exchange look before one of them mounts up the courage to ask. “You are not ARF, are you?”I can’t help but chuckle. The A
Rise of the lowly janitor Arrest
*George POV*Black suit, shirt and shoes, I look like a million bucks as I hold my devastated mother like a good son.Grandfathers massive portrait is displayed on the screen with hundreds of really expensive flowers around his open glass casket. Add the black and gold deco, catering, the whole memorial service costed millions. It’s okay, though. The profits of all this splendour is much more. All these people are supposedly here to mourn grandfather but there is no such a thing in the world of riches. One will each say a few calculated words but the real reasons they are all here is to make more money. “I know that the two of you did not always see eye to eye, but he loved you dearly.”“I know, Mother and I loved him dearly too,” I respond with a hoarse voice. I am really good at this faking being hurt thing. Deep inside I am over the moon that the old man finally kicked the bucket. The asshole was becoming a real pain with all the Jake praising and his threats to cut me off his we
Rise of the lowly janitor Insecure
*Jake POV*Two weeks later, I wake up to find my hot mess looking at me. She has been really irrational and insecure since I arrested George. “Morning, Beautiful.”She does not respond to my greeting but gets straight to what I can only conclude has been on her mind the whole time I was sleeping. “Do you still love her? Do you want her back?”I look at her with a confused expression wondering how she reached that conclusion. “She was involved yet you only arrested George,” she adds. I can’t help but laugh at her accusations. George and his crew used Leticia’s key to enter the racetrack twice before the attack on the president. The idiots planned the whole thing there. They always stood where they thought there were no cameras but they were so wrong. They did not count on the mirror in my basement room reflecting everything to the camera across them.“That’s because she is innocent on this one,”I explain this to Tanya for the third time. As much as I wanted her guilty, we establish

Bra Joe
*Jake POV*“Tell me,” Mia urges. She is very impatient. It’s no wonder that fast cars are her career. Tanya waves her left hand at her and laughs when Mia’s eyes widen. “You have been wearing the real ring all along!” she cries. I never really replaced Tanya’s ring with a fake but said that at our wedding for her safety. The fake was the one on the safe all along. She was surprised too when I told her the truth. “Those idiots are going to be killed trying to sell a fake,” Mia adds. “I hope so, but if they don’t, Joe is working on a permanent solution to get rid of them,” tom says casually. “Bra Joe?” I ask and he nods.“My Bra Joe?” I ask again. There is nothing I would not do to meet that man again. Not only did he take me in, but he also gave me a survival skill that has kept me alive. Tanya raises her eyebrows and curls her lips.‘What? I love that man,” I say defensively, right when a tall, dark and masculine figure emerges out of the scullery. “And he loves you

Security breach
*Jake POV*Tanya and I check in at the off the grid ARF quarters, while an undercover agent boards the plane as my imposter. Tom and Len tried their best to convince me to go with their plan, but that was a risk I was not willing to take. A fake me heads to the summit and fake Tanya remains at home is what we settled to.“This place is not too bad,” she says before taking off her shoes and lying on the couch. I get her point. The place looks nothing like what I imagined. It’s more like a very secured five star apartment with everything one can need. I sit at her feet and massage them. I can tell that she is exhausted. It does not help that being married to me has brought her so many enemies, but she never complains. “I doubt it was always like this. I bet my crazy godfathers revamped this place just for you,” I say and she shrugs. Tom and Len are very fond of my wife. While her mother and sister think that I am spoiling her rotten, they think she deserves to be spoiled more. They e

The ploy
*Jake POV*Tanya is nine months pregnant, and I can’t wait to meet my baby. “Jake!” she cries when I wake up and run my hand over her massive tummy. “What?” I ask, amused. “You love this baby more than me. You have not even greeted me good morning,” my hot ball of cuteness sulks and I can’t help but laugh before covering her lips with mine and passionately kissing her.“Good morning VP lady.”She giggles.“I can never love anything or anyone more than you, Gorgeous,” I reassure her, and she melts. Her crazy sister has been teasing her about how the baby is now the family’s favourite and not aware how fragile pregnant women can be. It does not help that she has lost all her beauty pageant body because of the pregnancy. “What are we going to do with Letitia, and George and his friends?” she asks. She is no longer naïve about all of this and I am glad.“My godfathers are working on it.”She raises her eyebrows while I laugh. “Believe me, you don’t want to know,” I tell her. Len and To

Laying low
*George POV*It’s just over six months since we got out of prison. The boys want revenge as in yesterday. I do too but I know better now. I underestimated my rival and got burned fucken bad. It will take a lifetime for me to recover from what Jake did. I shut the door to my study and click on the untraceable link for our weekly meetings. “George here,” Mathew announces. We are careful not to be seen anywhere together these days. I have not seen anything but I know that Jake is watching us. He would be an idiot not to and if it’s not him then it’s our country’s ghosts, his godfathers. “Hi George. We are all here. Can we start?” Rick asks impatiently but I already know what they want. “We can, but we are not attacking that mother fucker yet,” I say decisively. I have somehow become the voice of reason to all of them now and they are not pleased with me. “Told you guys,” Lance responds but I don’t care. I am all about self preservation these days.

Yours
*Jake POV*That evening, Tanya walks out of the closet with her transparent gown on. I was planning on just sleeping tonight but one glimpse at her my heart is already racing. “Jake,” she calls me softly and advances to the bed. “Mmh?”She gets on the bed next to me and gives me her cute puppy eyes. “I am sorry about Leticia.”I have forgiven her already but she keeps watching that video, feels guilty and apologies again. I lay on my back with arms behind my head and I give her a mischievous smile.“Show me how much.”She giggles and gets on top of me. “I love you,” she murmurs before she leaves a trail of soft kisses on my neck, chest then down to my abs. I can feel the heat rising inside me and my number hardening. She has that effect on me.I curse under my breath when she pulls down my boxers. Her hand closes around my erection and gentle slides up and down. This feels so damn good. Not as much as when she replaces her hand. She bends down and takes me into her mouth. She suck

Stalemate
*Jake POV*The meeting with the president and Egyptians did not yield much besides providing to us with information of just how valuable my mother’s ring is. They are obviously not impressed when we turn down the offer, but they can’t force us.The following day, the ring and its value is all over the news. I suspect it’s a strategy by the Egyptians to get us to sell. Keeping such a valuable possession is dangerous, I can’t even get an insurance company to insure it. Tanya still refuses for us to sell but she can’t wear it anymore now. Luckily, we have a secured glass exhibition area in our lounge where her miss universe crown is kept. We place it with the crown, the laser beams and our security system should be enough to keep it secured.“Jake, look!” Tanya exclaims, showing me the social media posts.I look at the footage of Leticia throwing the ring at me with mixed feelings. I was really devastated and my whole world had come crushing down that day. She had posted that on her prof

Family
*Jake POV*Two days later, I get home to find Tanya standing in the garden appreciating the colorful flowers before her.She gasps when I wrap my arms around her waist and plant a kiss on her neck.“How’s the nausea?”“Much better. Too expensive, but the medication works. I feel less tired and more alive now,” she confesses with a grin. She was against me buying the expensive medication the doctor recommended for the nausea because of its price. In the end I bought it without her consent.“Good to hear,” I say as I go around and kneeling in front of her to have a word with my baby.“Hey there little one. Did your mom feed you today?”Tanya rolls her eyes and giggles. She sometimes skips meals to avoids being nauseous. That’s the reason I insisted on buying the ridiculously expensive medication.“Can’t trust beauty pageants with this stuff, but daddy got your back, always.”“Tell your daddy not to worry because I am eating like a pig now,” Tanya responds, still rolling her eyes. She th
