2024-10-29 19:42:56He turned to look back, only to meet a familiar face. It was the one man whom he despised so much, and equally feared. The one man who had always had his eyes on Matilda even before they got married. He shuddered nervously. The bastard was back in town! He bowed slightly, hoping against all hopes that there wouldn't be any trouble between them.
"Shane!" He said, faking a smile.
Shane strode over to him, in his usual proud manner. Jake's heart beat frantically as every step that he took thudded loudly in his head.
"So you do come to this kind of bank too, huh?." He said, snorting mockingly.
Jake knew he was in for it today. But he'd had enough to keep acting like a pushover. All these years, he had been maintaining his cool and enduring all the insults from this bastard all for the sake of Madison. Now he was done with that phase! He was done being a pushover.
He scoffed. "Our wealthy Shane must think the bank belongs to only him, huh?"
Shane was taken aback by his words. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined Jake would actually talk back at him. "Wow! You've got some balls, isn't it? You must-----"
Jake cut him off sharply. "Look here, I don't want to have anything to do with you. I came for a far more serious business than whatever you have to say. Do have a nice day."
With that, he entered the main building, feeling more confident and impressed with himself. He suddenly felt nervous as he made his way to the cashier's counter. Truth be told, he had never really entered a bank in his life.
Yes! His wife--- scratch that! His soon-to-be ex-wife was very rich, but he had his pride. He had never spent a single penny of her money. He wasn't earning much, but he had made sure to take care of all the household expenses, he had never really for once gone to a bank to cash out funds.
What if the card contained nothing? He thought, panicking. That would be a shame to him, especially with the presence of Shane here. He would definitely stop at nothing to ridicule him.
"Hello, miss." He greeted the cashier as he placed his hand on the counter.
The lady glanced up at him, disdain settling in her eyes as she stared at his cheap and rumpled cloth. Jake felt irked out by the lady's rudeness but he decided to let it slide. She probably didn't know it was rude to stare at customers. Or maybe she was surprised to see someone like him in their bank.
He cleared his throat to grab the lady's attention and she finally looked at him. She didn't even bother to hide the condescension in her looks. She opened her mouth slowly to say something and Jake's first thought was that she was going to apologize. But what the cashier said next shocked him almost to stupor.
"Mister. Please, kindly put your hands off the counter, then you could walk through the door after that."
She said it with a loud voice that other customers in the bank turned to give him a dirty look. In their opinion, he must have done something wrong to make the lady speak in that manner to him. Only if they knew that he hadn't ever done anything at all.
Jake stared at her, totally confused and short of words. What was this lady's problem? Why was she filled with so much disdain towards him? He was sure he had never seen her before. He didn't know her from any angle, so why was she unnecessarily rude to him?
"You aren't deaf, mister!" The lady said again, sounding cold as ever. "Leave this place or I'll call the guards to escort you out! We do not want any more criminals and rascals roaming around our bank!"
"What!?" Was the only thing he could utter. So far, he hadn't done anything wrong. He had only come here to confirm something. Why was she suddenly judging him just because of his cheap outfit. So only wealthy people were allowed to go into banks these days? So he couldn't withdraw money if he didn't wear an expensive dress.
"If you don't leave now, I'll take action against you. Leave now while I'm being nice!" She yelled, now standing up.
Jake felt his face heat up as he noticed that the gaze of everyone in the bank was directed at him. They were all watching with seriousness, wondering what was going to happen next.

PREMIUM GREEN CARDHe couldn't just leave without getting an explanation from the lady. "Miss, is there anything wrong with you? I clearly didn't do anything wrong. Why do you think I'm a criminal?"The lady laughed scornfully. "Why?" She laughed again. "I don't owe you an explanation, okay? Just get your filthy self out of this place! You're corrupting the air around here!"Her words got to Jake. Everyone was staring at him like he was some filthy rag. No! This lady won't get away with these.He brought out the card, flashing it at the lady's face. "I have my card with me. I only came to withdraw money from this bank. Why would you accuse me falsely of being a criminal!" He was shaking with rage and the card accidentally poked the lady's face.She flew into a rage. "You shameless man. How dare you lay your hands on me?." She smacked him hard across his face.The force behind her palm was strangely powerful and Jake could taste blood in the corner of his lips. He grabbed the lady's ha

Jake opened his mouth to ask him that when a loud voice echoed from the stairs."Who the hell is causing a ruckus, here!?" A man climbed down the stairs, walking towards Jake. When he saw Shane, he quickly scurried over, bowing courteously."Mr Adlon, I didn't know it was you." He greeted."Yeah, manager. I'm the one."Shane smiled boastfully, feeling like some big shot. Jake sneered in his heart. Pompous and stupid! He thought.The manager glanced at Jake and when he saw how shabbily dressed he was, he scowled at him. "Who the hell are you to disrupt the flow of activities? I saw you through the cameras." He said. He looked at Shane and quickly added, "How dare you even raise your voice at Mr Adlon. Do you have a death wish!""No! Mr Brown, don't yell at him. He's actually a friend to me." Shane said, suddenly sounding different.Pretender! Jake hissed, his eyes flashing with anger. "Look here, manager! I'm not his friend. I only came here to withdraw cash, but your staff started act

The other customers gasped in shock as they heard what the manager said. It was really a premium green card. How come a man like this has such a card in his possession? He probably stole it. Most of them thought.Shane remained fixed to a spot. His mouth was wide open. He couldn't believe his ears. Why would Jake have such a card? Even as one of the wealthiest men in Canada, he hadn't been able to acquire the card. The card had no credit limit and the holders of such card were limited. Jake must have stolen it or probably it was a fake one.He struggled to maintain his composure as he said, "Mr Brown, are you sure it's the green premium card? I know one when I see it and this doesn't look like the card. Plus, there's no way my friend here would be in possession of such card!"The manager considered it for a while and nodded his head, realizing he made some sense. He turned to face Jake. This time around he chose his words carefully, but he still wasn't entirely sure the card was fake.

Him? 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 onlo

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

“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. Jake didn't say anything, he didn't even feel anything, he only held Sarah close to himself and said, “Let's go”.They drove back to the house, and this time it was finally over, when they got in neither Cassandra nor the old man was at home, and a maid told them that

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”.

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”.

Cassandra grumbled loudly but it fell on deaf ears, “I am now a married woman, you both can't keep making decisions for me”.“Not when it concerns your safety, we will make the decisions to the end, I need you to comply with this one Cassie and I'm not asking”. 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”.

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
