Madison looked down at her feet as she leaned over and played with her toes for a while, and when she sat up again, he saw that she looked pained.

"I don't know what to say to you. I think you know anyway. I never thought this would happen. I still don't know how it did or why. But it did, Jake."

It's about the divorce after all. He thought sadly. She was trying to make it fast and as painless as she could, but as she started, she realized that there was no way. It was going to be awful, whatever she did or said.

"Shane and I started an affair some months ago and I'm pregnant for him. I still love you, but I have to divorce you and marry him. There's not much I can do about it." She blurted.

Jake felt as though she had hit him with an axe. His guts felt sliced in two. His head was spinning, and his heart was somewhere in his shoes. He stared at her in disbelief. Some months ago? That means she had been cheating on him all this while.

He was more angry than he was hurt. "Wait a minute,

    The car screeched to a halt."What!? What is it?" Jake asked in confusion."Please, can you get me some drugs from that medicine store? Jackson is supposed to take some drugs by this time." She said, glancing at her wristwatch."Where is the medicine store?" He asked her, scowling. When did Jackson start taking medications? He wondered.Jake got out of the car and began walking down the street. The street was kind of too quiet. He scanned the entire area and didn't see any store in sight. Could Madison have lied to him? He heard the thudding of feet behind him and quickly turned. No one was there.As he walked back to the car. He couldn't shake off the feeling that he was being watched. He suddenly felt a feeling of dread blooming slowly in his heart. He raced down to the car."Madison, let's leave here immediately. It's too----" He trailed off as he noticed that Madison was no longer in the car."Where did your mom go to?" He asked Jackson."She said she was going to meet you." He re

    Tyler had given him a strange kind of look before he left the company yesterday, but he hadn't put his mind to it. He knew he was going to fight back anyway. After all, he was a stranger who had suddenly come from nowhere and snatched away his position from him, so it was expected. Only that he thought it would happen later than sooner.He picked up the briefcase and placed his thumb on the scanner. The lock opened instantly. They were distracted so Jake took the opportunity and swung his fist at the man holding a gun to his head. His gun fell off his hand and Jake gave him a powerful kick that sent him flying across the street.He turned to face the other guy and saw that he had his gun trained in Jackson's as he slowly walked with his back. "Put the gun down or I kill your son!" The guy yelled, pressing the gun against the little boy's head.Jake had no choice but to obey him and before he knew what was happening. A big truck was coming towards him at a very high speed. He quickly j

    David noticed the puzzled expression on Jake’s face, he knew what the question on his mind would be, it was pretty obviously what anyone else would think about in this situation. “If you are wondering why I am doing this. It is because you are not the rightful heir to the Mcpherson family and it seems like the only way to give it to the rightful person is by removing you from the picture and letting it fall into the hands of my boss” he said with a sly smile on his face, spreading his arms wide and taking a few steps backward at the same time. Tyler! That was the only name that could appear on Jake’s mind after hearing what David just said. It had to be, there was nothing else he could think of, it had to be him, it had to be. “Why can’t Tyler just embrace the decision that was made?” Jake couldn’t help but ask. “Tyler?” David asked before laughing uncontrollably while holding his ribs. A confused expression made its way to his face. If it isn’t Tyler then who else can it be? “Th

    Max was seated in front of the wardroom where Jackson was kept, waiting for Jake like he had told him to. He was barely relaxed, his mind was still moving back to Jake, he took a look at his wristwatch, it was almost an hour already and Jake was not yet back. It was only a woman he was fighting with, what could be taking him so long?The loud panting sound and running footsteps that were drawing closer to him drew him out of his thoughts, he moved his eyes to see who it was. “David” he called with a furrowed eyebrow, “What’s wrong?” he asked with a worried tone, the expression on David’s face was screaming that what he was bringing was not good news, he stood up, looking behind David, his eyes searching. “What is wrong, David?” he questioned, his voice rising higher. “Umm… it’s Jake” he stuttered, his voice breaking down while pointing his index finger backward, the tone of his voice gave a hint of what was going on. He grabbed David’s collar and pulled him closer, raising his fee

    Tyler yelled out with a loud voice, he lay there on the floor, feeling excruciating pain. Thankfully the bullet didn't touch a vital spot, it hit his legs. Senior Mcpherson turned back with shock written all over his face, a sigh of relief escaped his lips immediately after he noticed that he wasn't dead yet, and his racing heart slowed down a bit. Losing two grandsons and the future of his company in two days is something that he can't bear to handle. "What are you still doing standing around me, some of you should call the ambulance and rush him to the hospital!" he yelled out to the bodyguards. "The ambulance is on its way sir, I've already called them," Max said, standing close to him. "Good," he nodded his head while two of the bodyguards escorting him rushed over to where Tyler lay helplessly on the floor. The bodyguards paved the way for him through the commotion.

    "Why… how are you here?" Shane asked in fear, his voice breaking. He staggered backward a bit till he fell on the bed, he quickly got off the bed as fast as he could. Jake ignored the question and kept walking towards him, his fingers already curled into a fist, he tightened it and closed the gap between them. He grabbed Shane by his hair and pulled him closer, slamming his fist into his face as hard as he could, he repeated the action again and again, before throwing him backward. Shane bent his head, groaning loudly in pain while covering his nose but Jake barely gave him any breathing space, he landed a punch to his stomach and pulled him closer to him, running his face unto his waiting knee, where he smashed it on. "Oh, God!" Shane called out in pain, he held Jake's hand, trying to pull it out of his hair but his efforts were proved abortive, Jake's hand didn't even bulge at all, he let him try to break free for a while before continuing his assault on him. "So you are the on

    Seeing David's lifeless body only confirmed the doubts that had filled his mind, he knew Shane and his capability. He is not clever enough to pull off such a thing, being the mastermind of what had just happened is way beyond what he can do.This only brings one question to his mind, who is the person behind it? He would have thought it was the handwork of Tyler but upon hearing that he is paralyzed, that just takes him out of the picture.He could only interpret it to be one thing, there is someone out there that he doesn't know, a deadly rival that knows of his existence and wants to put him out of the picture, but there is no way he would allow such a thing to happen.The next day arrived quickly, the senior Mcpherson called for another meeting with ten shareholders and the rest of the workers again but this time it was in a different hall, there was no way a sniper would have any opportunity to shoot because it was now on the ground floor and there were no windows there.The secur

    Jake furrowed his eyebrows, staring at her with an angry expression, he hadn’t forgotten what she had done, how she had abandoned their son in the middle of the road and ran off to God-knows-where.“What are you doing here?” he questioned her angrily.Immediately she opened her mouth to answer, “Leave!” he yelled at her, pointing at the door.She stood up immediately, with a blank expression on her face, there wasn’t even the slightest look of remorse. She picked up her bag and walked past him, she stopped immediately she had stepped one of her feet outside the door, and turned back.“I will be expecting you in court tomorrow because I want custody of my son,” she said and walked out before he could even give her a reply.“Fucking asshole, there is no way I will let her have custody of my son not after what I had seen her done,” he said, his fingers curling into a tight fist of their own accord.He turned to look at Max who was standing beside him, “Get me the best lawyer that you can

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 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”.

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
