Even his voice still had that deep time to it, he was shriveled and shrunken alright,but his spirit has not been dampened yet. Jake just stared at him in disbelief, what was once a powerful man even at an old age has reduced to this level because of his evil lifestyle, there was nothing left for him to live on for, this is where the rest of his life would be. If it doesn't end soon due to the hardships he was facing in the prison.

“You haven't said why you are here young McPherson”. Hargreaves voice entered into his ear making him look at the old man directly in the eyes.

Not waiting for any response the old man went on. “I am very well aware of the fact that I have not committed any crime while in this hole you put me in, you've taken all the resources I have available to do anything”.

Jake relaxed in his chair giving the man the chance to speak his mind, he surely has not had any visitors since he got locked up, so here was an opportunity for his tongue to be let loose and wag as mu

    Jake waited for some minutes so that the old man would be in a better position to answer his questions. For him to get what he needs, he doesn't just want Hargreaves to have a stable body but be in a stable mind as well. Watching him regain his composure he felt it alright to to start.“If you can remember correctly, which I do hope you remember. Charlotte asked you one time about my grandmother, Elizabeth McPherson. I'm sure you know her”.“Yes I am, and I remember when Charlotte asked about her. I just felt she wanted to know about her to make an impression on you. I never knew the request came from you, if you had come to me directly then, I would have told you all you needed to know”Jake shook his head, he was amazed at how the man was still trying to get on his good sides.

    “Please tell me you've got some useful information”. Jake said as he entered the house, to the place where Max was sitting.“I don't know if they are information that you can put to good use, but I've got what you asked for”. Max said.“Are you ready to hear them now or you want to go freshen up.Jake thought for a moment before saying. “Hit me with it, I better listen to it now than later”.Max cleared his throat. “From what I could find, not much was said about your parents, Tyler's and even Fred's parents. Their Information has been wiped from the internet, you can't find anything reasonable about them not even pictures, like it was done on purpose”.“But we're you able to get what I asked for specifically?”.“Yes I did, that was a tough job. But I got it. Tyler's fathey was Pius McPherson, your father was Jimmy McPherson, then we have Fred and Aiden's father, which you can guess is Edward McPherson”.The information sank into Jake's mind, so Tyler's father was the real firstborn

I'm not supposed to explain anything to you, but to clarify things I will just tell you”.“I see some potentials in him, you know Jimmy can be very stubborn and has shown no interest in the company, he didn't even want to go to college, but your mother and I forced him to go. Since he came here there has been a tremendous change with his contributions and I don't want that kind of potential to be lost on us, what I'm saying is, I put it off so you and Jimmy can work together when the time is right”.“Dad, can you hear yourself, I have been with you for a while now and you want Jimmy to work side by side with me when he's done with college?, That is not going to happen, you can't humiliate me like this”.“Call it whatever you wish, Jimmy has done more than you have in

    Speaking to his dad was one thing Jimmy can do anytime of the day, even if he's just waking up from sleep and someone tells him to come speak with his dad, he can do so without hesitation. But talking to Pius was a big deal. They were siblings alright but there has always been some kind of distance between them.Pius wants to be respected and have always demanded it from his two younger brothers. Edward and Jimmy on the other hand have always been close and never had issues.Jimmy had always been the smartest of all the children which made him stand out specially. And that earned him the dislike of his elder brother.The comparison that has always come up between them made Pius feel shallow. Anything he did was never enough for the father, who wouldn't fail to point out Jimmy to him. Robinson McPherson will always say. “Can't you see the way Jimmy is doing it?, you need to learn somethings Jimmy, I wonder why you are my first child”. Constantly hearing these words from his father made

    Here we go again, Jimmy thought to himself as he rolled his eyes, are they ever going to get past this. To Jimmy Pius has the highest form of insecurities in every way and nobody can stand against him on that level. “That was in college and you of all people should know I was only trying to get closer to my older brother, I didn't mean to hurt you, I felt it was an opportunity to bond”.While Jimmy talked, Pius already put a stack of files in front of him , pretending to go through it when it was obvious he was paying attention to what Jimmy was saying, when he heard the word bond from Jimmy. He looked up abruptly. “Bond??, Please define the term bond, maybe it is lost to me now, since you are the one using it. As far as I know, you did everything contrary to the word you just carelessly used. I specifically told you to get your own friends and stay away from mine, but as usual you were so self centered, thinking about yourself alone. The turned up for the party you hosted and neglect

    That was the only thing he could call it, a ludicrous affair, after their first time together he felt embarrassed and vowed to himself that it would never happen again, he didn't want to loose the respect she had for him. But she came back, and it was hard to resist, he asked her why she was doing it and she replied that she just likes sex, and will always be available for him to use as he wants. He found it hard to believe that someone would just like sex and not ask for money or even a promotion in return. It turned out she was right, at every opportunity they have in the office they would have sex and she was insatiable, he would take her along to most meetings which would require him traveling and they would have non stop sex all night, she was at his neck and call and he was happy. Although he still had some outside that he can call but she didn't mind.He snapped out of his reverie when he notiy Jimmy looking at him awkwardly. “What?”. He snarled.“I don't know, you tell me, yo

    Jimmy blinks continuously, rapidly. Did she just open her mouth to utter such a statement? He coughed awkwardly, trying to clear his throat. “I can see how you lured my brother to you”. He said using his hands to close her legs together to shut the sight before him,then he stood up from the chair and backed himself away from her. The office became hit despite the fact that the air conditioner was blasting away, giving a cooling effect.The secretary didn't open her legs back but crossed it over each other instead. “Why are you moving away from me?, I'm basically harmless, you can ask your elder brother, and you my cute one has been refusing all my advances since you started your internship, you know that I can switch positions just to be with you?,but it wouldn't work well to my advantage since you are just staying for a short time”All Jimmy knew at that moment was that the lady before him was crazy, how did his brother end up having someone like this as a secretary. “What do you mea

    “My office now”, Robinson growled and stomped back to his own office. Jimmy did not even spare a glance at the secretary before following his father right behind. The secretary who was already scared out of her wits arranged herself first before following suit to the chairman's office. As the two of them stood in front of the chairman like children with their hands behind them and their heads bowedThe chairman gave them a stern look.“Care to explain what was going on?”, The question was directed at Jimmy and not the secretary who opened her mouth to talk but shut herself because the look he gave her could kill.Jimmy inhaled before speaking. “Dad it wasn't what it looked like, I was trying to get her off me”. He paused knowing that his dad was letting the information sink in and does not want to jump into conclusions quickly.“She came at me, to be correct, she was in my office waiting for me when I went to see Pius, then she explained herself. I told her to get out but she started

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”.

    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
