THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS SMITTED BY THE MAN'S CHANGE
“I said, let me go!”The door flew open, and Diana budged in, fuming like a lioness in heat.“We are so sorry, sir! We tried to stop her, but...The manager raised his head. “It is alright. You all can go. I will handle her.” He said that, and the soldiers left. “Miss Diana Motero, this is so impolite and disrespectful of you to walk into my office like that.” The manager said when the door closed,Diana, for a minute, did not hear the manager. Her mind was engrossed for minutes, trying to sample the man before her. Her head was spinning, and her visual sense was failing her. “What the heck is this man doing here?” She screeched.“You mean, the man you wrongly accused of stealing without even verifying the information with us?” The manager asked, and then he added when Diana refused to even blink. “He is our new investor. Congratulations! You are the first to know about it, Miss Diana.” The manager spoke.An earsplitting, loud echo filled the entire room as Diana raptured with laughte
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE GIRL'S WORRY
“So, finally, we can have our date in peace. I hope nothing ruins this for us again.” Ana mumbled as she cut through her chicken and munched on it. They were seated at the Serena Hotel, surrounded by all the foreigners and the owners of the city—people whose bank accounts were afloat with money. And Jordan and Ana felt a sense of belonging to the rich circle. “Well, you chose this for yourself. Save yourself the heartbreak by raising your hopes high. As long as you are with Jordan Rivers, danger is roaming somewhere so close.” Jordan said as he chewed on his food. The food was the sweetest thing he had ever tasted. Ana stopped for a bit to reminisce about things. She was not getting tired of facing it all with Jordan. She was not penitent in her decision to choose that path. No! She just wished that everything could just be irenic. That they could live a life with no one chasing after them and wishing their downfall. That life where they would live loose, with freedom and peace Toge
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS WEALTH FIRST
Gazing intently at her, Jordan was much withered by the girl. How could she let herself fall in love with a complicated man like him, whose life was in danger every single second? He posed nothing but danger to her. How could she love him? And within a blink of an eye? She knew nothing much about the strange man, yet she loved him. Then he wondered: could she have left her home, her foster parents, and even given up all the multi-billion-dollar fortune of the De’Luka family just to chase a nobody like him? All those sacrifices were for the sake of love?“Haven’t you noticed it, Jordan?” She asked, or rather, her emotions spewed out before Jordan could break eye contact, holding him back.Jordan knew better than to compromise his life at that point. He appreciated the girl’s honesty, but he was not ready to go down that road again. Not that soon, and he did not want to give Ana false hopes. He had much more important and dangerous things to do before he could start thinking about his l
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS ANOTHER DEAL
A car pulled up at the Serena hotel compound while Jordan and Ana enjoyed their desserts. In a minute, in walked a vivacious man in his early thirties, supposedly, and made his way to Jordan and Ana. “Greetings! You must be Jordan Rivers, if I am not mistaken.” The man said it gently in his deep voice.From his look, the classy, shiny suit, and how he carried himself with respect, anyone could tell that he exuded a descent and respectable aura. “That is right. I am Jordan Rivers. And you are?” Jordan responded as he stood up to honor the man’s greetings.“I am Richard Matthew, Mr. Jonathan’s lawyer. He was caught up in something, so he sent me here on his behalf. But he said he will give you a call once he is through with what he is doing.” The man explained.Ana was curiously and anxiously listening attentively to get a glimpse of what her mischievous crash was up to. He had not told her anything about what they were expecting. He kept her in suspense despite her unwavering plea to k
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE INVITE
Ana was still scanning the papers one after another. She wasn’t actually re-reading through them again because she was satisfied. Her mind seemed to be miles away. “Are you regretting the idea of becoming an investor in a multi-billion-dollar company?” Jordan wondered if he had made a wrong or hasty decision by bringing her into the deal unaware.She collected the booklet of the contract she had signed and looked at Jordan. “I am not. We are chasing wealth, and no one would dislike the idea of growing their money. Not even an idiot.” She said it calmly.Still, she was frowning, conjuring Jordan’s curiosity. “Then why the long face? What is bothering you?” He quizzed.“I just realized what this means. That I, we, will have to crash to our enemies more often. Especially my father. That man is an omnipresent being. He is in almost every single business and he never misses any of the gatherings.” She explai
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE PARTY
Jordan and Ana stood at the entrance gate of Mr. Jonathan as the sun was ushering in the darkness. Beyond the vast gate, a soothing buzz was audible, bringing about the serene, inviting aura inside. Both of them were adorned in new matching attire that exuded luxury. Comfoys of flashy cars also drove in one after another after a serious check at the gate.“This seems like a huge party, Jordan.” Ana remarked. They could not capture much from the inside, given the distance, the security guards, and the multiple cars driving past them. They also did not want to seem like gatecrashers trying to sneak a peek at what was happening inside.“Seems so. I will call Mr. Jonathan and inform him that we are at the gate.” Jordan pulled out a phone and dialed Mr. Jonathan’s number. On the third ring, a voice jittered from the other line.“Hello, Jordan? Have you two arrived?" Came the voice of Mr. Jonathan.“Yes. We are at the gate.” Jordan responded.“Alright. Just mention your name to the securit
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS COMMOTION AT THE PARTY
The meeting was coming to an end. There was nothing much to be said or done anyway. It was a simple dinner for Mr. Jonathan to introduce his new investors. And now it was that crucial moment.Jordan was seated next to a lady who had insisted earlier that they talk. He was still not blending well with the lady. She was too tipsy to even hold a conversation. Ana was seated a distance from them, but she was so restless. Her neck was cocked to the side where Jordan was seated with the bimbo. She wondered what the girl wanted from Jordan or what they were talking about the few times that she had caught them exchanging a few words.“And now, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to go to the main aim of this dinner. As you all know, my company suffered a huge blow a few days ago because I lost one of its biggest investors. However, the weeping days are now over. I want to introduce to you the new investors, Jordan Rivers, and Ana De’Luka.”The echo of their names echoed up to the high heavens.
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS PUTTING THE MAN IN HIS PLACE
“If you have a problem with me, De’Luka, be a real gentleman, face me straight off, and stop trying to recruit innocent and vulnerable people to your feud with me. That is a great show of a weak person.” Jordan warned the old man.“I am just stating my concern here, young man. I have no reason to instigate someone against you. You are too cheap for my class for me to even notice you and not talk about fighting you.” De’Luka defended himself.“If you are really concerned about your so-called business friend, your top interest here should be the wellbeing of his daughter and not this bullshit you are ranting, don’t you think?” Jordan was beyond furious with the old man’s deception. “What will you benefit from if his daughter dies just because you don’t want me acknowledged for anything good, De’Luka? Will you bear their pain and grieve? Their loss? Their guilt?”“Don’t you dare talk..."“Enough, De’Luka!” This time around, Mr. Adriano’s voice rang in everyone’s ears. His eyes were firin

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
