Jake did not see any of this coming, but after a thought, he realized that he did see it coming, but not in this way, not from Alice Vladmir of all people, it was a shock to him because he could not fanthom how she was connected to the whole McPherson family drama, he always believed that whatever was going on was within the circle of the family, the person pulling the ropes probably has something on her and is trying to make her do things against her will, since her father has no involvement with it. Her mind was made up and she wasn't going to reveal anything that's for sure. He already accepted her proposal and there was no going back from it. He stood up and told her she was leaving but she would have none of it insisting that he should spend the night, but he refused.“I told you before, the fact that I am bending to your will does not make me your puppet, you can't use me the way you please, I agreed to the marriage and that's enough, don't push me, Alice”.“You are so feisty, b
It was stge screaming and shouting from the second living room that woke both Max and Jake up the next day, they recognized the voice to be that of Cassandra, but could not fathom why someone would be screaming so loudly in the morning when some of them were just enjoying the spirit of sleep. They rushed out hoping it was nothing too serious and she was not in danger, the maids and servants were not left out, everyone had gathered to know what was really happening. When they saw that she was standing fine in front of the television, the servants dispersed without saying a word leaving Jake and Max to figure out what was going on.“Cassie please tell me you are screaming for a good reason, because I'm getting pissed at your unnecessary noise”. Jake spoke up.She didn't reply but only pointed at the TV screen, the both looked at it and it was a video of Alice and Jake kissing at Vladimir's mansion, with the headline, “TRILLONAIRE CHAIRMAN ENGAGED TO BILLIONAIRES DAUGHTER”.Jake was surp
Jake felt the same as the other three, only they didn't know it, and they all want to carry out a plan without notifying Jake, having a deep thought about it Jake realized that he has not been playing along with Alice and it would lead him nowhere, it was like walking into a lion's den unprepared, whoever was in control of her would have a bigger demand and he would not want to give in to that person easily, Elizabeth was nowhere to be found and it was not easy to reach her, maybe who ever was pulling the strings have her too.As the days went by, Max Cassandra and Sarah pretended that all is well around Jake, he only suspected that they were not happy with his decision, unknowing to him they had plans of their own that is why they didn't bother with him anymore.Everywhere Jake went he was always seen with Alice, she never misses an opponent to be in the limelight of things, Jake started his plans by warming up to her, he became less tense around her to ease whatever suspicions she
Tyler with the aid of a button on the chair wheeled himself to welcome Jake into his home, Jake knew he had been there before, it was just once so he could barely remember, and Tyler had since stopped coming to the office and no one has heard from since Max and jakey cme to see him the last time, he was more than surprised that it was Tyler behind it the whole time, he really wanted to know what was going on.“Surprised to see me?”. Tyler asked him as they went into the house together, “don't be too confused cousin, soon you will get answers to all your unanswered questions”. The stopped at his living room and Jake couldn't hold himself anymore.“What is going on Tyler? out with it, fro what I can remember you were the victim of the gunshot that happened when I came into the consortium, so how is it that you are the brains behind all of these operations, did you hire someone to shoot your leg?, How did you do it, endangering yourself because you wanted to prove something”. Jake asked
Tyler was enjoying the rage seething out of Jake, “calm down tiger, no need to show your anger now, although I'm enjoying it, you see, the thing is, he would never have given me anything he was always so obsessed with your father Jimmy that he barely paid any attention to Edward who was his other real son. I waited patiently, I allowed him to find you and with the help of the people you know where involvement I started carrying out my plans against you, but you just seemed impenetrable, I swore to myself that I wouldn't make the same mistake that my father made, I had to eliminate the long standing threat,I went after Robinson himself, he let his guard down as he was all about protecting you and making you chairman quickly, that was when I came up with the plan to get myself shot. After I saw you I knew you were not a man to go down that easily, you may not have grown up living a wealthy life, but I sensed the smartness in you, you suspected me immediately Robinson died but when you s
Then his mind went to Alice, he came here with her, and she must be waiting for him, but there was little she cay do, Tyler has her under his thumb, whatever feeling she has match for the control Tyler has over her, still he could not go like this, he closed his eyes tight knowing that there was no solution for him to get out no matter how hard he thinks. He could only hope Max or Sarah notices his absence and try to find him as soon as possible.Unknown to Jake, the plan that Max Sarah and Cassandra had was to track his evrt move and be ready for any eventualities, they knew acting out of line would not favour any of them and whoever was pulling the strings would see them coming, so for a while they pretended like everything was okay, even Sarah stopped coming to the house, but she communicated with the other two through phone calls. On the day when Alice came to meet Jake to take him to Tyler, Mac had Cassandra put a small tracker in Jake's trouser pocket, they also had someone to
Charlotte Hargreaves arrived immediately she heard that Jake was in danger, they might not be in the best of terms but she would not sit idly if she had a chance of saving him. “So what do you guys want me to do”.“It's kind of risky, so if you can't do it we understand, you will have to meet with Tyler McPherson, you might know him, he worked at the consortium but stopped after he got shot, apparently he faked it all, he has Jake with him now and only God knows what state Jake is in, we don't know how well you can carry out this plan, but make it possible that we can come in as well and assist you,” Sarah told her.“I will do anything for Jake, even if it means putting my life on the line, he saved me from an already wrecked life, I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for him, but we are in luck, I used to fuck around with Tyler McPherson before, it's part of my secret, so me approaching him would not make things suspicious, I would pay him a visit in the house since that is wh
It didn't take long for Tyler to become drowsy and weak, he fell off her body, immediately she carried her phone and called Sarah, “you can come in now, he is down and very weak but I don't know how long he will be like this”. Sarah told her to hold on as they were on their way.“What have you done you bitch, you won't get away with this”. Tyler spoke weakly.Charlotte stooped to his level on the ground, “I already have your piece of shit and today is the last day you will call me that”. She used her bag to hit him hard in the head, then mustered all her strength to pick him up, as she opened his bedroom door she came face to face with two of his guards, she quickly brought out a switchblade and held it tightly to Tyler's neck, threatening to slit his throat if they came any closer. At the same time, they heard the sound of a police van coming into the house and they scurried away, afraid of being caught.Sarah and her men came in fully armed, the men that got caught were apprehended
