Shock is an understatement of what Jake felt when he saw the pictures of his wife in Ivy's wardrobe. What hooked him the most was that her face was marked with a red marker. He wasn't one to take the scenes in movies to heart but he had seen something like that in movies and he knew that it was always a bad sign. Beads of sweat formed on his face as he turned the picture around and coordinates that were written at the back of the picture. He quickly keyed in the cordinates and he got direction to an unknown location. His eyes widened as he looked at the location again. Out of fear of getting the wrong cordinates, he keyed it in again. It was about to open when he heard movements.

Jake quickly placed the picture back to where he got it from. His heart was beating too fast and he didn't care to check if he put it back exactly as it was or not. He moved away from the wardrobe and headed to a chair. Just then, Ivy bursted into the room looking very excited.

"Hey baby!" She squealed and

    Jake drove with speed and every so often, he would look back, afraid that Ivy was following him or that he was walking into a trap. After all, Ivy was a secret detective. It was possible that those coordinates could be leading to a location where she kept a hardened criminal for questioning. Or it could be her base of operations or even a secret FBI location. All these assumptions frightened Jake but they didn't deter him from moving forward. He needed to know why his wife's face was marked in red. He needed to know why Ivy had her picture in the first place and since this was the only clue he had, he would exploit it.He pressed his legs harder on the paddle and accelerated the car once again. He followed the directions of his GPS closely. He didn't want to miss anything or get to the wrong address. Jake wasn't so surprised when he started seeing bushes and trees as he drove on. He knew it was a shady place. After all, he didn't recognize it at first and he had been looking at it for

    Jake could feel his pulse racing. He had limited time to make a decision and that was when his brain decided to abandon him. For the first time in a long time, no thought flew through his mind. He was lost as to what he should do. "You have five seconds Jake." Ivy reminded him."Okay, Ivy can you please just calm down? We can sort this out." "And this is us sorting it out. Chose!" "If you kill her, you will go to jail. Do you really want to risk that?" "You forget that I am a part of the government. The law doesn't bind to everyone and I can make you do whatever I want. Now, don't make me say it again." "Okay. Fine." Jake looked at Amanda. She was too weak to say anything. She couldn't even look up to them. But Jake could see the tears dropping from her eyes. He knew that she could hear them, she could understand them but she was too weak to fight. There was no way she would get out of there alive if he kept arguing with Ivy and worse if he didn't choose her. She was already on t

    He drove with speed to the hospital. He needed to get her checked out as soon as possible, he couldn't have anything bad happening to her. He would be held responsible and he certainly couldn't have such a scandal on his hand. As soon as he got to the hospital, he was happy to see a stretcher being brought toward him. He was too weak and heartbroken, he wouldn't have been able to carry her if it got to that. The nurses helped him lift Amanda unto the stretcher and she was carried into the ER. Jake took a seat in the waiting room and all he could think of was her getting better. Few minutes later, he saw Michael running in. He knew it was just a matter of time before people will start coming to him. He had hoped that their ignorance of where the hospital was would give him more time but he should have known that news spreads like wildfire in his home town."What the hell happened?" Michael asked as soon as he got to Jake. "Who called you?" "Maverick did and he told me that you took

    The hospital had a lot of attention that day and it was all because of one person. Amanda Cash. Jake's phone kept blowing up and all he could do was wonder who was calling him by that time. He didn't care to pick up any of their calls or address any of them. He knew what everyone was going to say and he was not in the mood to deal with any of their tantrums or answer any questions. Mostly, Amanda's friends and families were the ones who called him. Everyone he needed to get through this period was sitting next to him. Well, not fully everyone. Sebastian was nowhere in sight but he couldn't blame the guy that much. He did drive out on him."Is Sebastian not coming?" Michael was forced to ask."I have no idea but I hope he does." That was Jake's true feelings. He could see his walls breaking down before his very sight. All that he was planning were slowly coming to the ground. Once Amanda wakes up and everyone knows what truly happened, then he really will be doomed. He couldn't cry and

  • Son In-law Revenge   Q&A

    Jake walked out of Amanda's room to see two men dressed in suits waiting for his arrival. They didn't look friendly but with Sebastian, they sounded extremely friendly. That gave Jake an indication of who they truly were. Still, he walked to them and coughed to interrupt their conversation."Good evening sir," they stopped their conversation with Sebastian and greeted them."What can I do for you gentlemen?" He went straight to.the point."I am detective Conan and this is detective Steve. We are from the state police. I hope you don't mind us asking you a few questions." Jake put on a brave face but his insides were turning with fear. Did they think he had a hand in it? Were they going to take him in? Was everything he worked for about to do down the drain? He gulped and nodded his head."Yes, go ahead." His voice came out as a whisper. Detective Conan took out a notepad and a pen and he started writing on it."How are you related to Mrs Amanda?""I'm her husband.""And how are you re

  • Son In-law Revenge   Her Resolution

    The hospital walls felt empty as Jake walked back to Amanda's room. He saw no one in sight and listened to none of their talks. All he was focused on was how he will be getting out of the mess he placed himself in. It was just a matter of time before her parents come bursting through the door and heaping curses on his head. He needed to keep his mind straight and think of how he will defend himself when the questions start coming in. His thoughts didn't stop his feet from moving because a few minutes later, he was standing outside of Amanda's ward door. Be opened the door and saw that Amanda's eyes were also opened. She sat still when she saw him come in and a disturbing wind blew in the room. Jake knew that he had a lot to explain to her. He had said things that wouldn't be taken softly if the occasion rises for him to say them in court and from the way things were going, he was going to court to defend himself against Ivy. For now, he had to defend himself in the presence of Amanda

    Jake rushed to Amanda's side, his heart pounding inside his chest. The woman couldn't die on him."Amanda?! Amanda?!" When the woman didn't respond to his calls, he dashed out and ran to call the nurse. He was lucky enough to see one in the hallway."Nurse, my wife just slumped! Please come immediately!" He spoke out of breath and then ran back into Amanda's room with the nurse hot on his heels. He stood far from her bedside and couldn't help but chew his nails as he watched the nurse check her vitals. "Is she going to be okay?" Jake asked when he couldn't wait any longer just to get the results. He needed an answer desperately. He needed to know if he killed his wife or not. The guilt would follow him for eternity and he may never recover from it, but still, he needed to know. Jake couldn't remember what had pushed him to say those words. Why did he have to open his big mouth and say that he was in love with someone else, especially when he knew that she wasn't strong? He watched as

    He wasn't ready for the melodrama they were going to display but somehow, he felt that if he didn't sit tight and listen to it, he will end up regretting it for a long time. It all happened in slow motion and Jake watched as Mrs Cash rushed in first and gave him a mean look before even looking at her daughter. It was weird to him but he could understand why the woman looked at him first before looking at her daughter. She had always cared about her image more than anything else and Jake was so close to ruining all that she stood for. She didn't have friends but if she did, they would forever haunt her about how she allowed her daughter to get involved with someone like Jake, thereby leading to her kidnapping. She wouldn't be able to stand the shame and to her, that mattered more than her daughter. Mr Cash wasn't any different, he placed much more importance on Jake's betrayal than his daughter's health but that could be understood. The man had given up on her daughter being a good p

    "Damn it!" Emily cursed under her breath. Every time she was beginning to have a quiet moment with Sebastian, something or someone just always had to ruin it. She could see the spark in his eyes and she knew that he was seeing her in another light. The kind of light that Emily wanted her to see him in. And now her phone just had to go and ring, interrupting the moment she was sharing with him. She removed the phone from her handbag and was more annoyed when she saw the caller ID."Yes?" She was afraid that if she had said more words, the man would have sensed her anger and wanted to find a way to relieve her of it. But Williams didn't need to see her before he could sense the mood that she was in. "Em, are you alright?" He had the same caring tone in his voice which Emily hated. She had never seen Williams as a passionate man. To her he was too bland and empty, nothing drove him to the edge. Nothing made him think outside the box, he was a calculative, arranged and organized man. It

    The bar was filled with people. Andy's has always had a full house mostly because he had good music and his staffs were as kind as the day was bright. Emily could spot some foreigners in the bar. It was a normal thing for them to always occupy all the space there. The town of Los Angeles always had people trooping into it because not only was it a tourist site, but it was also a place where opportunities could come through. Anything was possible or at least that is what they believed. They had one had a cowboy come into town with their hippy-dippy style of dressing.

    The drive back to her company was awfully quiet. It would have been a great time to have company, like that of Sebastian. Looking at the driver's mirror, she could almost see his perfectly symmetrical face and his tattooed arms. He had a dangerous aura around him, and there was nothing that Emily loved more than danger. Emily shook her head. She shouldn't be noticing anything about him. She shouldn't be even thinking about him. She should focus on how weird and awkward it will be when she meets Williams the next time. Deciding to cross that bridge when she gets to it, Emily swerved into the parking lot. There, she saw Sebastian waiting for it.She could hear her heart racing, she could feel her blood running into her ears. She grabbed on tightly to the steering wheel. Did he have to be so attractive? Did he have to make her want him so badly? Realizing that those weren't the things she should be thinking about, she turned off her engine and focused on getting rid of him.To hell with

    It was becoming clear that all the people Sebastian was getting acquitted with were dangerous men and they all knew Ethan. The man that approached them was covered with tattoos and the more Sebastian observed him, the more he noticed the cliche way the man was dressing. He had on nose rings and an earring on his eyebrows."Hello, Denzel," Ethan said as he stood up."I see we are now mates, if not what would give you the courage to address me by my name?" "I don't believe they are any secrets between us."Denzel's couldn't take his eyes off the little brat that had almost gotten him arrested. He had sworn that the next time he sees him, he would be a dead man. But he had come with Chairman's men and anyone who wanted to live knew not to mess with Chairman. The man could do unimaginable things to his victim but still behave like he was doing nothing. "I don't think we do," Denzel said as he offered a smile his way and ushered them to their seats. "So I'm curious to know, how did a ric

    Sebastian had hoped that he would never get to see the building that threatened to end his life whenever he stepped foot into it. Reluctantly, Ethan and Sebastian moved towards the door and one of the men nugged them along."What? So when you are not chatting like little girls, you guys chose to irritate me by walking like snails?" The man said with anger in his voice. As much as Sebastian wanted to reply to him, he decided to save his strength for when he would need to run away from Maverick and his gang and if he couldn't, he would fight his way out. He didn't mind getting shot, anything was better than working full time for him.They didn't pass through the club as they did before. The entrance was a lot narrower and the presence of two guards gave the clear message of the entrance being off limits to regular party freaks. They walked in the dark for what felt like hours but was only five minutes and Sebastian kept praying that they weren't passing through the human body room. Sud

    Sebastian smiled to himself as he pulled up to the parking lot of the company. He was glad for the conversation he had with Ethan earlier. The man was a pain in the ass most of the time but he did help him get the perspective he needed.Sebastian yelled as Ethan hovered over him so early in the morning. He was used to the man not being the morning type but Ethan was wide awake and staring directly into his eyes. "Man, what the hell?!" Sebastian screamed out as he pushed Ethan away from his body. He reeked of alcohol making Sebastian worry about why he did not just pass out already. That was mostly what he did whenever he came back drunk."Don't you have where to go today?" Ethan was talking about him going out in search of a job but Sebastian knew better. There were no jobs available anywhere. "Won't be going anywhere today," he said as he turned over to his side "there are no jobs in this godforsaken town. So I might as well just save myself from the stress of looking.""So what do

    The weather was pleasant but the same couldn't be said for Emily's appearance. She cursed as she highlighted from her car and almost ran into her father's company building. She waited patiently till she heard the ding of the elevator, rushing in she quickly pressed the button that would open up to her office.Immediately the doors of the elevator opened up, she marched into her office floor completely ignoring the greetings of all the staffs that saw her. She walked briskly towards her secretary's desk and slammed her hand into her table."Good afternoon ma'am." The young lady stuttered as she looked into the gleaming eyes of her boss who was not looking happy."Sandra, what meeting did I have today?" "Ummm. Ma, which one are you referring to?"Could she be serious?"Which one am I talking about? The one I'm just coming back from. Which meeting was that?"Sandra looked down from Emily's face and scrambled the papers on her table looking for her boss itinerary for the day."Umm, that
