THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS PREPARING FOR THE TREAT
Upon tracing a guest house at a cheaper cost because he did not want to go through another embarrassing moment, Jordan walked in. The cashier made a look but still managed to act casually with the gentleman.“I need a room for two.” Jordan said. He had seen Ana trailing behind him through those sharp streets and scary corners. He had kept his ears in the air for any call of attention, but he was glad that nothing scared the poor girl. He could see her as she leaned on the door outside. She was probably too embarrassed to approach him. But for how long could she stay away?“Okay, sir. A single room and two beds go for $30, and separate rooms go for $50 a night. Which one do you prefer?” The lady asked.Jordan thought for a while. He had not even bought clothes to change. He figured that he could use Ana’s help. She had a phone, and he could not forget how fast she got him the suit a few days ago. “The first one.” He said this, pulling out the dollars and handing them to the lady.“Okay
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE TREAT
Minutes later, Jordan left the bathroom dripping wet with only a towel covering his lower part. Ana was busy admiring the things she had ordered. She was sure that she had gotten the right sizes, and she could not wait to see him dazzling in them. Her face was conjured up by the sight of Jordan, which her poor eyes could not handle. She stood up, looking at the door."Umh, here is the bill.” She handed him the bill without even looking in his direction.“Alright. I will make the payments while you take a shower.” He said this as he took the receipt for the bill from her.That is such a wise idea. Ana thought as she took off to the bathroom. “Sure.” She said this when she was at the bathroom door.“I am famished. So, don’t take long in there.” Jordan said, and Ana walked in.An hour later.Jordan and Ana rode back to the Hilton hotel, stinking of riches and dazzling in their new exorbitant attire. They tapped their feet down from the Ubber they had hired and made their way towards the
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE UNINVITED GUEST
Ana could have guessed even without looking that she had heard that voice from somewhere, but she had to turn around to confirm. Before she could even turn completely, a third person invited himself to their table and perched next to Ana. Jordan scanned the new face of the galling man. It did not seem so familiar, but he was certain that he had seen it somewhere. He just could not remember where. “What the hell are you doing here?” Ana screeched at the man, keeping her tone at bay and tossing her plate of food aside. The face of the man angered her like always, and she knew he was not there for anything good. “Is that the way to greet your betrothed, whom you disappeared without informing? I had to go through a lot of trouble to find you, you know.” Derric stated, glaring at Ana. Derrick loved Ana. Even though she had just been arranged for him, she had managed to steal his heart. But that was not the only reason he was there. De’Luka had reached an agreement with Derrick and his f
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE HOTEL SAGA
Derrick maintained mutism for a minute. He felt like he had spilled more than he should have. He did not want to reveal his real intentions for being there. Ana and Jordan were not supposed to get wind of the reasons behind his visit and what he wanted. He knew that messing something up would result in severe consequences that he could not bear—they would lose millions worth of investment, and Mr. De’Luka would chop his head off if he made things more difficult for him than they already were. And Ana? She would never forgive him. He did not want to imagine the messed-up situation of their plan. He stood to lose everything if he screwed up. He would even prefer failing to convince Ana and leaving with the secrets still safe with him rather than disclosing the truth. He could never risk that, even as the last ace up his sleeve to win Ana. “I am still waiting, Derrick! How has Jordan ruined my life?” Ana asked again. He shook his head. “I heard all about the saga at your family’s hotel
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE STATION CRASH
Jordan had no choice but to walk to the station again after a lot of serious deliberation. Contrary to his wishes, which he had made while on the way to the station in the company of Ana, the hotel manager, the culprit, Derrick, and four witnesses, Jordan ran into Officer Adamson yet again. The officer discharged a quirky smirk when he saw Jordan again. “Jordan Rivers! I have not been away from your trail for even a day, and you already missed me." The officer spoke, and then his eyes fell on the number of men with Jordan. His face dropped. The faces were so new to the officer. Derrick, who was groaning with agony, conjured a dense face as he looked at Jordan. "It seems like trouble is still following you, Jordan. Why did you beat up this one now?” Jordan maintained a cold demeanor but responded softly to the officer. “He attacked me first. I did this out of self-defense.” Jordan responded. Just then, rustles were heard, and they all turned to see the family of Derrick rushing in ha
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS UNBENT
“And just who do you think you are to file such claims on behalf of the bank?” Ana asked Diana. “As one of the shareholders, you dimwit!” Diana screeched. “You may have all the rights, Diana, but Ana and I were with Jordan. We are witnesses that he did not do what you are accusing him of. If he did steal, he would be behind bars by now, don’t you think?” Mr. Jonathan tried to speak some sense into Diana. She smirked. “And who would believe you, huh? You both are his friends, and I suppose you know how birds of a feather work. I would not be dumbfounded if you both were accomplices to all of his crimes.” Diana stated. Mr. Jonathan felt offended. Diana was patently insulting them to their faces. “If he stole anything or committed any offense, why is he, or rather, why are we still walking free?” Ana fought back. “How on earth would I know that, huh? Ooh, wait, I think I can guess. Maybe because this hotheaded man here beat the hell out of the bank manager just to silence him. Actua
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS QUESTIONING THE LADY
“So, what do we do now, Jordan?” Mr. Jonathan asked when they were left alone.“Call the bank manager and tell him not to disclose anything about me. He only needs to say that I did not do what that crazy woman is accusing me of.” Jordan said.“Okay. I will make a call to him right now. I will be back in a minute.” Mr. Jonathan spoke and left.Ana was left staring at Jordan with sympathy. She did not understand why the man had to go through so much. But she admired his bravery and thriving nature.Just then, Diana dragged herself to them. “I don’t know what kind of spell you have cast on the officer; he refused to put you behind bars.” She sneered. She had anticipated that the officer would put Jordan in the cell, but he did not do that. He, on the contrary, just left an officer to watch over Jordan as if he were someone important."Maybe it was the same spell that I cast on you that got you so obsessed with me. I left you already, but you are chasing after me every chance you get. Do
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS TABLES TURNED
“I advise you to have enough proof the next time you want to accuse someone, Miss Diana. I spoke to Mr. Patrick, the bank manager, and he denied Mr. Jordan Rivers causing any form of crime against the bank. His records are clean.” The officer said“But I saw him. I am sure he"“Miss Diana!” The officer cut her. “I suggest that you leave this place and come back with enough proof of what you are insinuating. We don’t work with empty words here.” The officer saidDiana kept quiet for a minute. She didn’t like how the tables were turning. She now seemed like the bad guy against the stainless Jordan Rivers, which riled her up. “I will definitely find that proof. The manager must be lying. There must be a mix-up somewhere. I will find out what it is, Jordan Rivers.” She screeched in defeat, holding her lover’s hand and turning around.“Good luck, but not so fast, Diana Motero!”

THE GREAT ENDING OF A NOBODY
Three months later!Anticipation and enthusiasm surrounded the grand opening ceremony as it took place. In addition to officially opening The Rivers Group of Martial Arts' newest location, the ribbon-cutting ceremony signified the end of a journey that had passed through darkness and emerged into the light of mutual empowerment and progress.Jordan stood proudly in front of the assembly and spoke to them. "Our slogan stands true today as it did when we started: The Rivers Group of Martial Arts is not just a school to teach martial arts, but a community for empowerment and growth, both as a community and individually." His statements reverberated with authenticity, capturing the spirit of their group's objective."And so, ladies and gentlemen, here I present to you the last, as of now, branch of The Rivers Group of Martial Arts." Jordan handed the scissors to Ana, symbolizing the transition from the shadows of the past to the bright possibilities of the future. As Ana cut the ribbon, t

THE ASTONISHING BRAVERY
The following day, Ana woke up in his old home, the De’luka mansion. Ricotchetting her eyes. Memories lingered—a combo of both good and bad memories. She had slept off there with her entire crew to prepare for the burial.“Are you ready? You can stay back if you want. I will bring the body here.” Jordan said, giving her a morning hug after strolling into her room.Ana sampled everything that Jordan’s body was bleeding on her—the solace, the heat, the comfort. Everything. She appreciated his comfort and his gesture. She then pulled away, and Jordan kept her hands in his. “I appreciate this, Jordan, but I have to do this.”“Are you really sure?” Jordan emphasized."Come on, Jordan! Do I look like I am showing signs of a mental breakdown or something? I am perfect. Besides, you and I know the story behind this man. I'm all good.” She said.Jordan nodded his head. “Alright. I never said that you were about to break down, by the way. I know you are strong. Even more than I am.”‘Yeah, yeah

BAD NEWS
“I guess so. We can all say that.” The officer affirmed.A few chatters filled the room for a long time. Who would have thought that a once vigilante group could be saluted by the government, huh?Jordan cleared his voice, speaking to the officer, although everyone was keen. “Whether the government recognizes me or not, I don’t care. But I know how much you loved your job. I also know that you like it, and it is my hope that you have no regrets whatsoever for those few days that you and your boys have been members of this family. I want you to know that I cannot hold you back. If they want to give you back your position, please don’t feel obliged to remain with us. You deserve that position.”Officer Adamson looked at Jordan with so much appreciation and gratitude. “Regrets? What is there to regret about being part of this great community, Jordan? I felt honored that I was lucky to have a chance to meet you all and to partake in your just missions. But, like you said, I feel the need

THE PROGRESS OF THE GROUP
The group, which had now become a family, pushed itself into the audacious project of opening martial arts schools in the following weeks, their unwavering dedication transforming dreams into concrete accomplishments. With incredible vigor, resolve, and a sense of purpose that permeated each movement they took, Jordan's vision came to life in that brightly illuminated room.Securing a central location for their flagship martial arts school was the crew's initial action. They converted a large warehouse, which had previously served as a symbol of corruption, into a center for empowerment, training, and discipline after extensive reconnaissance and planning sessions. When they held their first courses, the sound of kicks and swishing-trained moves filled the air inside those walls.With her excellent organizational abilities, Sarah oversaw the administrative side, making sure that all licenses, registrations, and marketing campaigns were completed. She proved to be the mainstay of the o

THE FATE OF THE GROUP
As the soft hues of morning began to seep through the windows, the room, once ablaze with celebration, now held a serene stillness. Jordan and his crew, draped in the comforting shadows of a night well spent, found themselves resting on makeshift seats, their weariness a testament to the battles fought and won.The sunlight painted a gentle tableau, revealing the subtle lines of fatigue etched on each face. Yet, amidst the quietude, a sense of unity prevailed. Jordan, observing the camaraderie that had evolved in the past hours, felt a renewed purpose bubbling within him. This wasn't just a crew; they were a band of individuals who had weathered storms together and emerged stronger.Looking at Major, he knew that he had a question to tackle. They looked somehow confused about what to do next, and he knew he owed them an explanation, at least for the sake of their sanity. He remembered how he and Major’s group became participants. Initially, they were just his hired bodyguards, but ove

CELEBRATING VICTORY
‘‘Huuu!” Noises crackled in the house of Jordan as the members heaved out their tiredness, sampled in the aura of victory, and rested their weapons on the tables as they took their seats. It was almost 4 in the morning, but the night echoed with sounds for the next few hours. Their faces were smeared with soot and sweat from the tough battle they had fought and, by God’s grace, won.“This calls for a big celebration!” Jordan spoke, pulling Ana beside him as he rested on his signature seat of authority. “Mariela? Could you make us something delicious for us?”Mariela nodded in agreement. “After emerging triumphant, you all deserve a special treat. I had made arrangements before we left. I will be back in a sec.”They all made sweet sounds of appreciation that sent Mariela off to the kitchen with a smile on her face.Soon enough, she was making hasty back-and-forth tours to and from the kitchen with trays of mouthwatering shawarmas. Then the drinks followed, and everyone wanted nothing

THE SENSE OF VICTORY
As Jordan and his group crouched in the shadows, staring at the far-off warehouse where the covert conflict had taken place, the night sky hung thick with an oppressive still. An overwhelming feeling of unease permeated the air as they anticipated reaching the pinnacle of their unwavering quest for justice.Abruptly, a menacing gleam illuminated the horizon, illuminating Jordan's team members' features with elongated shadows. From the warehouse, flames shot up, licking the darkness with an abysmal embrace. The blast echoed through the still air like a mighty cry of vengeance.Jordan clinched his hands and tensed his jaw, watching the conflagration with a bleak determination mixed with joy. The warehouse collapsed under the weight of its own secrets; it had previously been a center of corruption and dishonesty. His transgressors were being burned into charred souls. He could imagine them weeping in pain as the wildfire mercilessly devoured them.Jordan whispered, "That's it," his voice

NO DEAL
“Names? What names, Jordan?” Mr. Elias asked in confusion.Jordan, with a steely gaze, had no time to waste. He needed to get to the heart of the issue as fast as he could. His voice was firm as he spoke. "The names of your supporters. The high-ranking officials who are protecting."The alliance members exchanged uneasy glances, a palpable scent of impending doom slapping at their nostrils. How could they comply with Jordan's request? Revealing the identities of those wielding formidable power felt like signing their own death warrants. And death was what they were trying to escape by all means. How could they negotiate for survival and sell themselves to the devil in the same way?“Jordan, please understand that we cannot do that. It is too dangerous for us. Besides, why do you want the names?” Mr. Elias replied, attempting to mask the tension in his voice.Jordan's eyes narrowed, his frustration bubbling beneath the surface. "I need those names to expose the corruption that is eatin

NEGOTIATIONS
Jordan looked at Elias and his meanness. He could read through their minds. He knew exactly what they wanted. And he loved their stupidity.Elias gazed at Jordan and spoke with a stern voice without a single tinge of wavering in it. “You are wiser than this, Jordan. I know you know what I mean.”Jordan shook his head and read a memo that said, ‘I know, but I want to hear that crap from your stinking mouth itself’! “No! Please enlighten me, Elias! I might be getting carried away.” Jodan spoke.Elias even managed to smirk, even though he could not tell whether Jordan was toying with his mind or not. He spoke. "Jordan, all I am suggesting is that we can settle this amicably. You don’t have to betray your noble parents by becoming a bloody murderer. Well, if it is revenge that you want, your parents are gone, and you can’t bring them back. Don’t even kill us. I have got something that will surely interest you."Jordan, unmoved, eyed Elias with a steely gaze, his expression portraying no
