“You should have informed me that you are coming, you bastard” Tyler yelled at him, fuming in anger, he wheeled away on the chair he was seated on. The look on his bare face showed that he was still very pissed at Jake because he believed that he took what belong to him rightfully. “That was less than the reaction that I expected from him, with all the years I have known him for” Max whispered to Jake, who let out a chuckle. “That is because I have been talking to him for quite a while now but it seems like there is still no way we will be on good terms” Jake replied, adjusting his tie and walking forward, following Tyler closely behind. “Oh,” Max muttered under his breath, walking behind Jake closely. “State your business here,” Tyler said, immediately they had walked into the small office that he had built inside his house. It was the place where he usually discuss secret and serious matter often in, he barely trust anyone he is living with when it comes to serious issue, he be
Jake rose to his feet hurriedly, turning to look at Tyler, he forced a smile on his face. “Sorry, but I think that discussion will have to be on hold for now,” he said.Max noticed from the sudden change in his expression and the way he stood up that something was up, he also rose to his feet and walked towards the door, his hand on the doorknob, waiting for Jake to come closer before he pulled it open.“I see the call you received is not a good one,” Tyler said with a nod of his head, watching Max pulls open the door for Jake. The both of them stepped out hurriedly; they found their way out of the house in a few seconds.Max slipped into the driver’s seat and ignited the engine, “Where to?” he asked with his gaze still kept forward, driving out of the compound.“The airport,” Jake answered, searching for a contact on his phone, there was a very worried expression on his face. “I wonder why she can’t keep the child safe and yet she still doesn’t want to hand over the custody of him t
Jake and Max arrived at the address that was sent to Maddison. The site was an abandoned factory, out of their haste to rescue Jackson quickly, none of them gave it a proper thought before charging into there blindly.The both of them walked further into the building, part of it was already ruined and it looked like no one was there, it was as silent as a graveyard, and cobwebs could be seen at almost every cornerThey arrived in a wide space in the middle of the abandoned factory, at the far end, Jackson was tied to a chair, he looked unconscious, and behind was a group of people with mean expressions on their faces. Beside Jackson, a male was sitting on an iron chair, he raised his head, and in between his lips was an already lit big brown cigar.He pulled it out and blew out the smoke."Raise your hands above your head," the male who seemed to be their leader said.Jake and Max obeyed and did as they were told, they needed no soothsayer to tell them that there would be repercussi
Still keeping his gun pointed at the mysterious guy's head, Jake raised his head to stare at the people pointing their guns at his son. "On a serious note, Jake judging by their expression, these people would not hesitate to pull the trigger" Max whispered to him."Yeah, I know" he muttered and pulled the gun from his head, he dropped it beside him and stood up. "This is one of the reasons why I hate to have bonds with people, they can be used to get you, and this is a very huge weakness, by the way, my name is Fred, not like it would do you any good in the first place," he said, rising to his feet, he dusts off the dirt on his body. A deep sigh escaped his lips before he turned back to face Jake, "You, my friend need to cut off your bond with the people you have it with or eliminate them before you can be able to guard what you think belongs to you" said, walking away from him. Jake stared at his back, the words he had just said were slowly sinking into his head. "Now, let me gi
Descending the staircase, Jake had his phone close to his ear. “Hello, did you get what I asked for, Max?” he asked, immediately the call was picked up. “Yes sir, I did. I just got the result a few minutes ago” he answered.“Good, come over to my office in thirty minutes,” he said, entering the kitchen, opening the fridge, and pulling out a bottle of water. He turned back to look at Jackson who had just finished breakfast. “Are you ready, Jackson?” he asked while opening the bottle of water.; “Yes,” he nodded, getting off the stool he was sitting on. He picked up his backpack from the stool beside him and put it on. Jake grabbed his hand, and both of them walked outside, he pressed the car remote in his hand, and a black Porsche car made a beeping sound, the doors unlocking. He pulled the back door, open for Jackson who entered, while he pulled open the front door and entered, igniting the engine of his car. He drove out of his parking lot, heading into the asphalt, he drove Ja
There was a knock on the door causing the both of them to turn and face the direction, suddenly, a question surfacing on Jake’s mind. Who might that be? He isn’t expecting anyone today, not like he has any schedule, or did he have one that he might have forgotten?“Come in,” he said. The door was pushed open and his secretary walked in, she was clad in a white shirt and a tight black skirt that stopped at her mid-thigh, “Good day sir, I came to remind you of the meeting that you have with Mr. Sergio" she said, much to the surprise of Jake who did not know of this. "Meeting with Mr. Sergio?" Jake asked with a confused tone, racking his brain to come up with when he had made such a decision but he could not remember. "Yes sir, it was scheduled on the last time you came to the office. I had alerted you of his desire to see you and you told him to set up a meeting with you any day that would be to his convenience and I should let you know of the day immediately after he lets me know" s
“Well I take it that you are still new to this world and still a novice when it comes to certain issues, so let me explain a few things for you–”“Hold up” Jake held his hand up, cutting short his statement, “Since you will be enlightening me today, I have a lot of questions that I need answers to and unfortunately since my grandfather is not here, I will have to turn to you for certain answers,” he said, much to the amusement of the old man sitting across from him.“I will be happy to answer them,” he said, his lips stretching into a smile that brightened his facial features”“There is one thing that I am finding weird”“Which is?” Mr. George asked immediately, he was happy that the lad opposite him was finally opening up to him, he didn’t want this rare opportunity to slip out of his fingers.“Why is the chairman of a rivaling company lecturing another chairman instead of working towards the top like most of you ambitious men who think they are at the top of the world do?” he asked.
Immediately after Mr. George had left his office, he picked up his coat, slipping his hands inside them. He walked out of his office, turning to his secretary who was in front of his office, "I am heading out, cancel any other things that I am supposed to have for the rest of the day" he said to her. "Ok, sir" She nodded her head in compliance and went to work immediately. He walked to the elevators, he had a calm and gentle expression on his face.He took a look at the time on his wristwatch, he had promised his son he would come pick him up from school, it seemed he still had at least thirty minutes before they closed for the day. He had planned to use that opportunity to take a detour and get food from a nearby restaurant before reaching his school, so he wouldn't have to wait much before they closed. He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out his key fob, pressing a button on it that made his car beep, the door making an unlocking sound. He caught sight of a figure l
