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
What?! Senior McPherson killed? He furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with disbelief. It was less than 24 hours since he last saw him, and hearing that he is killed now only baffles him.Who killed him? He questioned inwardly, but this a question that he might only find the answer to if he let himself be arrested but choosing that would also mean that he wouldn't be able to get custody of his son.Any choice he makes would mean he won something and lost the other, but currently, finding the mastermind behind what is happening is his primary objective, he can come back and find a way to get custody of his son.He stood up and pushed his hand forward, letting himself get handcuffed, immediately after they had placed the handcuff on him, they led him outside.He could hear murmurs escaping from the lips of almost everyone in the courtroom. He paid a deaf ear to them, the opportunity to catch who was behind Shane had already presented itself.But one big question remained on his mind: Wh
Chapter 18Jake stayed still there for a while, unable to move a limb, he was overwhelmed with shock. A big question filled his mind, is it that everyone close to him has been planted by his greatest rival? Or has Max become overambitious and is aiming for the position of chairman because he sees that the family is falling apart?He concluded in his mind that staying in the same position that he was hiding wouldn’t provide the answer that he was looking for.Anger enveloped him, he had only one desire before jumping out of his hiding spot to catch him by surprise, which was to kill him.Max jumped back in fright immediately he saw Jake jump out of the bush.Jake plunged forward and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, raising him, his feet were away from the floor, looking down at Jake, the look he saw in his eyes filled him with fear.He raised his hand, “Whatever it is that you are thinking, I am sure that you are very wrong” he stuttered, struggling to stay calm.“So what you ar
In a luxurious bathroom that was screaming about how wealthy the owner is, there was no sound of running water, just outside, there were guards stationed there, in front of the door, while further inside the huge bathroom, a young man was seen sitting in a bathtub filled with soapy water, both of his arms were outside, placed on either side of the bathtub. He held a glass of wine, gliding it along the side of the bathtub while a burst of maniacal laughter erupted deep from within him. The thought of him finally completing his plan with no disturbance filled his heart with an unspeakable joy. He raised the wine glass, drawing it closer to his lips, he took a short sip from it, licking his lips, a soft sigh of satisfaction escaping his lips as he felt the exquisite, rich taste of the winemaking contact with his tongue. The moment of his enjoyment was cut short by the door being slammed open, the next thing that followed suit was bodies flying in, some of them slamming their bodies aga
Josh cowered in fear at the scene that was displaying right in front of his eyes, Jake was singlehandedly manhandling the assassins who were all trained for one special mission: which was to kill, but it was like they were all facing a superhuman, he was far greater, stronger and faster than all of them combined. They were barely able to land a successful attack on him. Josh trembled as he watched him slam one of the assassins’ heads right into the wall without an iota of mercy, with a cold expression on his face. “Fuck” he muttered under his breath, falling to his knees as quickly as he could, immediately after watching him deal with the last assassin standing. “Don’t think that you would be left out of the fun” Jake said, closing the gap between them in an instant, he grabbed him by his hair, pulling him across the luxury vinyl tiles of the bathroom. “Ouch,” Josh wimped in pain, raising his hand to touch Jake’s hand to reduce his hold on his hair, but after seeing the just concl
Jake sat on the comfy swivel chair in the office of the old chairman, which is now his office but he has not yet moved in, it still looks more like the way the old chairman left it, there are no changes at all. He faced the huge glass window that replaced the wall that was supposed to be there. He had his index and thumb finger on his chin, deep in thought. Just when he thought that he had finally solved the huge mystery in his life ever since he was told that he was the rightful heir of the McPherson consortium, he discovered that there was another one who seemed greater than he thought. He had offered an opportunity to Josh to choose between two choices, the first one was that his cases would be reported to the police and he would be arrested, with the power he is now possessing, he would make sure he was either on death row or is spending his entire life behind the four walls of the cell. The second choice he offered him was that he would dedicate his life to him, act, and do e
Jake sat still in the car, watching people walk in and out of the bank, some with smiles on their faces. Some with a blank expression. It didn’t take up to thirty minutes for Max to call him back, it seemed like the operation had been completed. He stretched his hand to grab his phone and swiped to answer the call, he placed the phone by the side of his ear.“Sir, it has been done, I will forward the soft copies of the documents to you now, sir,” Max said immediately after Jake had picked up the call.“That is great,” Jake said with a nod of his head. He stepped out of the car, a loud sigh escaping his lips, he looked down on himself to take in what he was wearing from head to toe. It was a simple casual dress, he had taken off the suit and shirt he wore to work. “Send it to me, I will let you know if I need anything else, later,” he said and walked into the bank building. “Alert all the workers of a meeting today to announce their sale to the McPherson consortium, the bank is to c
“No way, our new boss?” “What does he mean, this is a joke, right?” “You’ve got to be kidding me?’ They were all murmuring among themselves, their voices filled with panic. Jake looked around, his eyes moving from everyone, the look on their faces was enough to tell him about the people who had insulted him. The manager was the one that was taken aback the most but he quickly composed himself before Jake laid his eyes on him. He quickly cleared his throat, “Congratulations sir,” he said, beaming with a smile, his hand stretched forward for a handshake. Jake looked down at his hand in disgust, he slipped his hand into his pockets and raised his head to look at him, his eyes were dark and cold, and his lips stretched into a cold smile. He pulled his hand out of his pocket and accepted the handshake, gripping his hand tight, he closed the gap between them and whispered in his ear, “I guess you already know what to do or do you need me to remind you about it?” “Um… I don’t know wh
