*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. I still have granddad’s millions
*Leticia POV*I have been living in Lily town streets for what feels like years now. I have seen things I heard about on the news and saw on horror movies here. It’s a cut throat life where you watch your back and trust no one. Not even the cops.Cold at night, forever in danger, my body is the only thing keeping me alive. Jake is on every newspaper I see on the trash. He is on every billboard across town and on every television station of the customers who take me home. They always give me that fake smile when he comes up. They all know my history with him. I bet some are even laughing as they fuck me, but I will have the last laughter. Jake is mine and forever will be. I was to scream and pull my hair off when I see that Miss goody Tanya. That whore stole my man but soon I will be the First Lady and no one will care about my life in these streets. Makeup, red lipstick, slutty maid costume and red high heels, I catwalk the highway like I am in a fashion runway. The naive, holier t
*George POV*I lay on my bed with Leticia on my side. She is behaving like a perfect girlfriend but I am not so naive. She, like almost every woman out there now is crazy about the idiot. I am pretty sure that she even dreams about that pestilent. I know about the sexy photos of Jake she has hidden in her inbox. I have seen her ogling them when she thinks no one is looking. Her being hung up on Jake is exactly what I need her for. The whole country saw her lose it at Jake’s wedding. No one would be surprised if she did something stupid like killing Tanya and even Jake.There are also a multiple defaced photos of Tanya there.Her daft head does not know that I have hidden cameras around the mansion. I pretend not to notice anything. I intentionally mentioned Jake’s billion dollars ring while on the call with Mathew because I know that she is listening. A day later, she has several photographs of it. All that will be evidence that she has been stalking Jake and Tanya. I now have an esca
*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
*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
*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
*Jake POV*It’s been two full months without George’s usual ‘let’s piss off Jake’ stunts. My colleagues think that his grandfather taking liking into me might be the cause, but I can’t help thinking that he is just laying low and ready to pounce when my gut is down. It is during lunchtime and I am a few steps away from my room when two of my colleagues try to block my way.I am immediately suspicious, this is very usual. Their facial expressions tell me this is not a joke either. “What’s going on?”They exchange looks before I hear a familiar moan and my heart sinks. I am screaming in my head. This can’t be happening! “You like that?” George’s proud disgusting voice asks. My heart stops when my fiancée responds. “Yes! George, Oh! Yes!”What the fuck? George, I expect anything from him but not Leticia. She is my woman, the one I have been saving all my wages to spend the rest of my life with. “And that water-boy you call a fiancée?”I can hear the menacing in his voice as he asks
*Jake POV*I have just settled into my corner, ready for a much needed sleep, but a familiar voice shouts from the streets.“Hey! Jake!”I sigh and crawl out. That’s my foster brother, Ty. He is standing outside an exquisite sports car and looks like a million bucks. “Ty.”I am not very excited for this meeting because it always ends the same way. “Come on. Is that how you greet your big bro?”I shake my head and hug him. He is only a year older than me but never lets me forget it. Ty holds on to my shoulders and inspects me from head to toes. “You look like shit, what happened to you?”I explain my ordeal and he is fuming by the time I finish. “Mr Smith, you say?”I shake my head. Ty is very trigger happy, I should have known not to mention any names. “Ty, let it go.”I hope my stern voice does the trick because I can’t afford to be caught up in his criminal activities. “Look at you Jake. No rich asshole does this to my little bro and get away with it,” he says with clenched fis
