2024-10-29 19:42:56Him? A bank robber? The leader at that? It sounded so funny to him that he had to fight hard against the urge to laugh.
Before Jake knew what was happening, two muscular arms clamped around him and tackled him to the ground. "Argh!" He groaned in pain.
"If you dare touch a single hair on his head, I'll slash your fucking throat." A sharp voice sounded at the doorway as the door was pushed open.
Two burly men walked in, followed by a man dressed in an expensive tailored suit. He seemed to be in his early thirties and he had a commanding air around him. His gaze looked fierce. He wasn't someone to be trifled with. Fearing for his life, the guard quickly released his grip on Jake.
Again, there was an uproar among the customers. "Who was this man?" Many of them whispered.
"He was definitely wealthy!"
He walked elegantly to where Jake was. He offered him a hand and helped him stand. Immediately Jake was on his feet, the man moved an inch backwards and bowed courtly to him throwing the onlookers into a state of perplexity.
Why was such a man bowing to Jake who was dressed so cheaply?
"I'm Max." He said, still bowing.
Jake stared at him, seemingly at a loss for what to do or say. Why Max was introducing himself to him was past him. He was confused and bewildered.
Max finally raised his head, smiling. He understood that he would be shocked and puzzled and all. "Mr chairman, he began, sounding overly respectful. "Let's hit the road first. I will explain everything to you as we go home."
"Home?" Jake asked.
"Yes. Home."
They started moving towards the door.
"Who said you could leave!? Shane's cold voice stopped them. He had been humiliated by them so much, so naturally, he couldn't let them go. In his own opinion, if not all of them, but surely Jake has to pay for it.
No penniless person like Jake had ever made him feel so small all his life, and he wasn't starting now to make an exception.
"You must think you're smart right?" He laughed sarcastically. "You've just been accused of attempted robbery and you think you can just escape by pretending to be a wealthy man. He looked at the card he was holding. Where did you get that card from!? You stole it right? Guards!!" He suddenly yelled, beckoning to the guards. "Hold these two men down immediately!"
He has probably forgotten that they also had personal bodyguards of their own. As he turned to walk away, he glanced up at them. "Hold these ones down too!" He ordered the guards. "Teach all of them a lesson that they------"
Before he could complete his words, one of the bodyguards reached out his hand and grabbed him by the collar grabbed him roughly by the collar. "Look here, if you dare touch a single hair on the chairman's body, I would fucking skin you alive!"

Shane squeezed his eyes in fear, afraid that the guard might really do that to him. Seeing the scene at hand, the manager came to his rescue."At least, as the manager of this bank, you wouldn't skin me alive for trying to perform my duties. I must check whether he's really a robber or not!!"It was Max's turn to speak now. "You'll be sued for slander if you should confirm at the end of the day that he's really not a robber. I'll make you regret accusing the young master falsely, are you still bent on doing it?"The manager cowered in fear, weighing the options. The customers started murmuring. Some of them were encouraging him, while some of them held their breath, watching what would happen next.Suddenly, someone said. "He's not part of us. I could swear I'd never seen this man in my life. I only said he was part of us because I was too scared and I didn't want to continue being slapped by this man, here." He pointed to the manager.It was one of the robbers and the manager Immedia

Jake couldn't believe his ears. Did Madison actually say that to him? The woman he loved the most in this world actually insinuated that he was a thief. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. Why was she acting this way? What would she gain from accusing him falsely?A hand touched his arms and Max whispered to him. "Sir, allow me to teach all of them a very hard lesson."No! He couldn't possibly punish Madison. He still cared so much about her. He shook his head. "Don't worry about that. I'll handle it my own way."As he made his way towards Madison, she instinctively stepped an inch backward. She feared what he was going to do to her for accusing him. She hadn't wanted to do it too, but she'd had to. If only he knew that was the only way to save all of them-----Both of them just stared at each other without uttering a single word. Jake could immediately discern that she was struggling to maintain eye contact with him.He glanced casually at Shane. "You! You're very luck

Max was saying this again, that means it had to be true. Jake thought. But how come? Who is this grandfather of his that had suddenly resurfaced after all these years? He had lived as an orphan all his life, so why was his grandfather showing up now when---- God! He'd been living his life in misery, having people blame him for killing his own parents at birth. He suddenly felt anger and disdain towards whoever his grandfather was.But he had so many questions to ask. "So when can I get to see this grandfather of mine?" He asked, wrinkling his nose."Well, he's away at the moment. He would be coming soonest by the weekend. He's only asked us to bring you back home and then brief you about the ownership. He would explain anytime else later." Max answered.They drove down to the airport and flew to Calgary. A sleek black limousine was already waiting for them as soon as they walked out of the airport in Calgary. Jake kept wondering if everything happening was truly real. It was happenin

Jake stood, dazed by what the security guard said. Well, he didn't doubt it, judging by what he was wearing, he surely did look like an escort. He smiled, trying not to attract attention."Well, I'm a shareholder too." He said calmly.The guard scoffed. "Yeah, you sure are. How many shares do you have? Two, maybe one. Get the hell out of here before I pounce on you!" He yelled at him, now attracting the attention of the other shareholders.Max tried to intervene but Jake signaled for him to stop. He was finding more interesting than he could imagine. He wanted to know what lengths the bodyguard would go to humiliate him."I'm not getting out of here. Like I told you, I'm a shareholder, and this is a meeting that concerns me. Does it really matter how many shares I have? The main thing is at least I have one!" He tried to enter again and the guard pushed him roughly."Respect yourself now and leave, you rascal!""Jake?" A voice said, and it laughed mockingly."Hello, Mr. Davis," Jake s

The hall fell silent for a while then they started murmuring. What the hell just happened? Why would the chairman make such a decision? They had thought Tyler would be the chairman and not this stranger. In fact, most of them had even congratulated him a day before. So what exactly happened? Who was this Jake McPherson dressed in a cheap outfit?For all they knew, Tyler was the most senior grandson of senior McPherson and naturally, he should be the heir and chairman, so who was this imposter? Or was he a bastard grandson?"No! He can't be the chairman!" Mr Davis yelled. No! That wasn't possible. How would Jake whom he had earlier fired be the chairman of this big consortium? He just couldn't believe that outright lie.The other shareholders agreed with him. Those that were distant relations started murmuring. He wasn't a member of their family. And only a family member can succeed the former chairman."Let's check the list of shareholders if his name is there!" Someone suggested and

Jake saw the man's face. He looked like he was in his early thirties. It was definitely not his grandfather. He thought. Why did he then call the company his?The man walked up to Jake and poke his finger in his chest. "Who are you!? I just received that there was an imposter trying to claim to be the chairman!! Who are you trying to fool?"Jake didn't know what to say. He had never been confused like this all his life. And now he suddenly felt like laughing."You're laughing?" The man said, irritation sipping into his voice. "Do you want to die young!?""Sir Tyler, please, watch your tongue!" Max said in a sharp tone.Tyler shot him an angry look. "Stay out of this. You're just an ordinary secretary to my grandfather! What do you even know about the family business?"Max refused to back down. "Well, I'm now Mr Ryder's secretary, and to your disappointment, he is the new chairman and not you. Senior McPherson didn't choose you as his successor."His words angered Tyler so much that he

Son? What does old McPherson mean?Has his old age started to get to his brain?"I have my reason for choosing this young man here. I know what I'm doing. I clearly told all the shareholders of McPherson's that my eldest grandson was going to succeed me, right? Unfortunately for Tyler, he isn't my eldest grandson!"The hall fell into an uproar. Sir Tyler isn't the eldest grandson. Does that mean this shabbily dressed Chairman was the eldest grandson?Jake walked up to him and bowed slightly. The old pulled him into his arms for a hug. "How have you been, son?" He turned to the shareholders. "My eldest grandson here is the new chairman of McPherson's consortium and the heir of McPherson's family."They couldn't believe their ears and they quickly regretted their actions. What would Jake do to them now? He didn't look like someone who would hold grudges for too long. Some of them quickly tried to get on his good side."Congratulations, junior McPherson!" They all greeted.Mr Davis could

He couldn't resist her request and he soon found himself dressing up. "Boss, where are we headed?" The driver asked him, as he got outside."What's your name?" He asked the driver and he said he was David."Alright, David. I would be going alone. It's Alberta."David looked like he had something else to say but he didn't want to offend his boss plus the look on Jake's face suggested he didn't want any further argument."Alright, boss." He said, bowing.Some hours later, he landed in Alberta and took a cab to the address that Madison had sent to him. As he got there, he knocked on the door and opened it swiftly."Dad!" Jackson ran over and hugged him as soon as he saw him.He ruffled his hair. "Jack boy. Dad has missed you a lot.""I missed you too, Dad!" The little boy said, pressing his head against his dad's neck. "Mom said you traveled for a business conference."Business conference indeed. Jake thought. "Yes, I did. Where is your mom?"Jackson led his father inside. Jake had barel

“What about her?”. Sarah pointed to Elizabeth.Jake walked close to her and grabbed her by the clothes.“Give me one reason why I shouldn't put your body alongside theirs”.“I am not going to beg, I deserve anything you do to me”. Elizabeth said not displaying any fear.Jake released her.“I'm letting you go, not because I am too weak to kill you buy because you deserve a better punishment, you will live the rest of your miserable life, thinking about how you failed in this world, and the deaths of all these people will be upon you alone”.Elizabeth did not know when a tear dropped from her eyes, she would have preferred death over leaving like this, when no one was looking she grabbed a gun and shot herself in the head.

Aiden's grip on Tyler was strong, he pulled him along to a safe spot away from the bullets that flew recklessly, “What has gotten into you, do you want to die? is your life not important to you, how can you rush head on just to get the deed”.Tyler was not listening, his mind was roaming,“Aiden, I've got a plan, since it's just the two of them and we have more men that are armed, why don't you distract them, while they try to catch up with you, I will just round up around the back and pick up the deed, he dropped it when he shot that guy I saw it”.Aiden was not okay with it, but Tyler can be very persistent, “Okay, but make sure to come to the car in ten minutes, I will try to hold them off for that time”. They followed different directions.When Aiden looked out he didn't see Sarah or Jake, he never thought Jake would have the balls to pull a fast one on them, he has to be careful, he saw three of his men and told them to go with him quickly, but Max ambushed them and Sarah's men,

Tyler started laughing, he laughed so hard and loud that tears formed around his eyes, Jake even wondered what was so funny about what he said, when he got his breath back he looked into Jake's eyes, “I always knew you were a smart guy, that is why handling you has been theost difficult task to do, i hear your terms but I don't know if Aiden will agree to it, if he doesn't agree to it you have no choice but to come along with it”.“I have a choice and I'm not giving the deed until I see that Sarah is safe and she is beside me”.“You are quite adamant, fine I'll see what I can do to make him accept, although it will be difficult, don't get your hopes up”. Tyler still laughed a bit as he turned his wheelchair and wheeled himself out.Jake gave a huge sigh as he left, that should work, in two days the would have Sarah back, he called in Max who had fully resumed work with Jake.“I just saw Tyler leaving, still on his wheelchair”.

Aiden walked straight to where she was huddled and sat beside her not minding her hateful stare, “I am going to ask you one last time, why have you not been eating the food brought to you?”.“Because I'm not hungry, I don't feel like eating anything”.“But you drink the water, do you think the food is poisoned if so it would be easier to poison the water that you drank without any hassle, now listen here, I'm not giving you the food out of courtesy, I'm giving you to hold my end of the deal with your boyfriend, although I promise to give you back to him in one piece, that is if he delivers what I want on time, so next time one of my men bring in your food, I need you to eat and finish it up, do you understand me?”. Sarah gave a nod to show she understood everything that he said.“Good girl”.

Max said with a tone of finality.The next day Jake had assembled the top members of his board and Important executives from different branches, he also got a small amount of media personnel to be in the room with them, he was making a statement to Aiden and Tyler, that he was doing as they asked.“Gentleman and ladies, you all must have been wondering the reason for this gathering, as you all know, my grandfather your former chairman found me after plenty of years of searching, and when he finally did, he did not bother that I did not grow up learning the family business, or that I had no idea how to keep his legacy running, but he entrusted me with it all the same, I have tried all I could from when I resumed my responsibilit

As he got home his mind was calm, there was no longer fear or worry in his mind, and he was just full of determination, he knew he had to move with conviction, no negative emotion must flow from his mind, he didn't see Cassandra and Max as he intended to, instead he showered and changed his clothes and went for a run atiu d the mansion, the run will help keep his mind focused and straight, he ran till he was out of breath and had to walk all the way back. When he got inside he slumped in the chair and signaled for the maid to get him a cold refreshing drink.“Do you want to kill yourself by running that long?, I saw you when you started you know, I just didn't imagine you would go that far,you do not have to stress yourself like that”.

Their grandfather who had been quiet all along finally spoke up, “My dear child, you don't have to blame yourself for what happened, we were more than happy to partake in your joyous moment, I'm sure my dear wife does not regret it one bit, and would give anything to attend any celebration of yours, for years after we stayed away from the McPherson's because of Tessa's death, we still kept our ears opened for any information about you both, we didn't lose hope entirely, my wife would always encourage me and together we waited. When Jake became chairman we were aware of it but decided to give him time to adjust instead of throwing the big news at him that we are his grandparents, and knowing Robinson he would have declined us coming close to you both, he would have been angry as we did not help look for you both, but it wasn't easy on us, we lost the only daughter and child we had, there was no we could have been comforted, we were jealous of him at the same time, which was wrong, he s

Tyler gave Jake a wicked smile as he walked out of the prison building, “I should have told you that I would not stay in this hell hole for long, but that would have spoiled all the fun, did you enjoy the show that my brother put up?”.Jake was quiet as he opened the back seat for Tyler to enter, he took all of his restraint not to punch Tyler in the day, or rip his head out from his neck, as he started the car out of the driveway, “how is Aiden your brother, isn't he Fred McCarthy's brother”.“Oh Jake, you never learn,I always thought you were wise and had some kind of reserve for you,but you just proved me wrong, were you thinking that he is doing it juy to get revenge on Fred,heck no, we don't care about that guy at all,he was just a sacrificial lamb, made to stake out his neck for us, but he was useful while alive, I think that is the only reason I will miss him, before I forget,my brother told me that you have destroyed all evidence against yourself, so we don't have anything aga
