TRILLIONAIRE SECRET HEIR Chapter 139
The rest of the day met Jake in his office, he didn't call for Simon not Charlotte like he said earlier, he was just buried in the files and his computer going through the works of the previous days. The activities went well surprisingly during his absence, but he just had to go through it just in case there was an error somewhere. He kept glancing at the time, but the hands of the wall clock seemed to be crawling, slowing the day longer than it should be. He only stands up to walk round the office and stretch his legs after sitting for a long time, or to relieve himself in the toilet and like two or three times, he would go to the dispenser and get a cup of cold coffee.It took forever to jake, but after awhile the sun began to set giving rays of orange light on the big glass windows that decorated his office, giving it a beautiful view. The setting of the sun at that moment brought peace tranquility to the area, the environment became serene like there was no one in the street, all

The next day and the days to the parade, Jake found himself dividing his time between the office and the parade which was a lot of work, he would have focused on either or not bother with any at all. But he felt both places needed his presence and he could not neglect one. He had to be involved in the parade rehearsals to motivate the children, that's why he had to be there.He was already getting the hang of the rehearsals, though he would not be participating in the dance section, to Alice's and Thelma's disappointment. But to the happiness of Charlotte he joined the marching band and also the painters, but from time to time he would hop to other sections to encourage them . Sometimes on their break he would order for a food truck to come and serve everybody on the park, they all deserved the refreshment for all the effort they put into the parade. The children were a wonder to him and more so the parents and other adults who took out their time to be trainers.During the times he s

Charlotte did not remiy her eyes from Jake and Sarah as she answered. “Techniques?, What do youean by techniques?”.Alice looked at her uncertain about the response she gave, “come of it Charlotte, it's obvious how you have been parading yourself around Jake, not giving him a chance to be alone for once, you are just like a chick moving around with it's mother” “So, what if I am, it's clear to me and every one her that you are jealous of the closeness between Jake and I and you wished it was you he confides in on most issues. I'm sorry but it can't ever happen not even in your wildest dreams”.Alice laughed loudly, using her hands to.cover her mouth as she did, “you never seem to amaze me, I admit that I was jealous, but you can also see that unlike you I don't chase, I attract, with time Jake will see what he is missing out on and come to me himself, the best is always saved for last,I don't mind him having you now, you're only useful for now, just you watch and see how things will

“I get you now, but if that will all,then I have to explain it to the men, don't worry they are highly capable more than they appear and I assure you that it will all be covered”. She told him.The catalogue was in her hand and she was about to take it out with her to explain in details to the men how things should go when Jake stopped her.“How have you been Sarah?, We've not spoken since that day, but Cassandra told me you were not fine one time, I'm sorry I've not had chance to check on you or even put a call through to you, but I can see that you are healthy now”.“I was never sick to begin with, and I've been fine, last I checked we agreed it was best for us not too get too involved with each other's personal life”Jake looked at her awkwardly, he knew he said that, but what's with her and this new character she was putting up front.”Sarah, from when you got here, you've been too official, you just want to do your thing and leave, is there something wrong?, because I don't get yo

Thelma could not help but giggle more, it was funny how red Jake's face was and swollen. He didn't expect the slap to have such effect.Thelma continued talking, “i have something that can help you reduce the swelling, there was one time I was playing and fell, I hurt my knee so badly I kept it a secret from my mummy, she's a nurse you know and most times I get scared of how she gives injections or rub some ointment on wounds, although our situations are clearly different, I could not keep hiding my knee for do long. By the time my mummy found out about it was really swollen and extremely red. She brought out an ointment which had a nice smell, she said it was from China and rubbed on it, it worked really fast and well, and I've always had it with me anywhere I go to. So I can put it on an injury or wound anytime I need to, I can get it for you if you want it”. She offered.Jake felt delighted that a quick solution came his way so soon, if she had a little to say about his red and swo

She made her way to them which made them to stop talking, with her was Sarah. “I called Sarah to help me pick the perfect clothes for the parade, I wanted us to wear matching outfits so we could look like twins, but she said she'd be working and has to look official, so there's nothing I can do about it, but to seek her help in finding out what to wear instead”. She sulked.Jake rolled his eyes, what did she mean by them dressing like twins. He is her twin and very much alive and in front if her right now, and Sarah just stood there like they haven't met today. Seeing her made him recollect the slap she gave him and he unconsciously touched his cheek again, best to ignore her.Fortunately for him the women didn't spend long with them and left, their discussion fading as they went far.The rest of the evening went well and it was unusual, because the two women were do occupied with getting a dress for Cassandra that she didn't even come to bother them once or even to check in Max the w

“I've got sight of senior Mrs McPherson Sir ''. Max's voice floated into his ear and he suddenly stood still. His eyes roamed over the crowd trying to get even a glimpse of the woman he had been looking for with everything he got. He ate out of where the children were and walked back to his seat. By this time there was another uproar from the crowd, it looks like the pageants are out and doing what they know how to do best.He walked back to the seat that was reserved for him. “Max, give a perfect description. Where did you see her exactly?”.“She was moving with the crowd towards where she always sat, exactly like the pictures. You wouldn't miss her, she's wearing the same net veil she has always been wearing, but she moved "I can't find her again”. Max responded.“Keep a look out for her Max, don't lose sight of her next time, remember she is our target and I must get an audience with her”. Jake pressed a button to cut off the connection with Max. Then he pressed it again, hoping i

One thing Jake didn't fail to notice about the senior Mrs McPherson was her boldness, she's got that more than any woman he had ever met, the confidence she exudes as she waved the fan over and over her face was overwhelming. He had come across different people since and before he became chairman. But had ever kept him in awe like this woman, even at her age you could tell that she was strong and very intellectual. The McPherson's sure are very intelligent and not a family that anybody can just mess with. She had given him the green card, an opportunity to ask whatever he wanted to know. The only thing was that it wouldn't be recorded down to nail her to all the criminal activities she has been involved in.Jake did not even know where to begin or even how to begin any of the questions, there were a million and one questions roaming through his mind right now but he could not even settle on one, whether he likes it or not the person sitting right beside him was his grandmother, and he

“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”. 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”. Max said.“I am surprised as well, anyways let's forget ab

“Jake?, I've studied him even before Robinson found him, I got to know who he really was but I didn't make any move on him, keeping his identity secret guaranteed his safety more than anything else, but when Robinson found him out he did not hesitate to announce him as chairman, knowing fully well that the people on the hunt for his existence will stop at nothing to find him”.Elizabeth just gave Sarah some useful information, “if you had found him long before, why didn't you approach him in secret, he must have yearned for a family like you all those years, and probably prepared his mind for events like this' '.“You are not getting me at all, revealing myself would have posed a lot of threat to him then and could have gotten him killed, how did you think we were able to manipulate his ex-wife and her new husband into going against him, at least he has the resources to defend himself now, I don't even have anything to say, just that I am not scared of anything happening to me now, I

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”. He tapped her cheeks and left the room with Tyler.“So what do we do now?, Do we just sit and wait?” Tyler asked Aiden.“That is the only thing we can do, wait for him to come to us, don't worry y

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”. Cassandra entered and sat beside him.“Where is he?” Jake asked referring to their grandfather.He's resting inside now, he was just putting up all along, but he is really tired and needs to rest so I took him to a room, he seemed familiar with this pla

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
