Jake waited for her to respond but she kept mute."Why are you suddenly so quiet? cat caught your tongue?".She was at a loss of what to say and moved closer to him, still scared of touching him because she didn't know what his reaction would be like.All the years they have been married, Jake had never made her feel less of herself, she always thought that it was due to his poor background that's why he showed humility to her.Even in the face of her mother's taunts and abuse, he showed love to her and Jackson. She was manipulated by Shane, yes, that was what happened.If she explained to him that it was all Shane's idea, perhaps he would forgive her and they might become a happened."Jake love, it was all Shane's idea", she began, "he deceived me, made me feel horrible for falling in love with someone in the lower class with no background"."He and my mother planned this whole thing up, they constantly put it in my head how you were all about the money from the jump. That you were a
There was nothing left for her to do but to accept her fate, she couldn't bring herself to finish the wine she was drinking before.To enter the room allocated to her by the maid was too much work for her to do as she slumped on the sofa staring at the half bottle of wine.Her mind flashed back to the early days of how she and Jake started. They were both in their final year of college and she was attracted to him at first sight.All the girls were attracted to him, and she doubted if he would notice her at all, he worked part-time at a cafe in college, juggling both work and studies together.The females found that attractive back then, a man who could sort out his bills was recognized as a full-grown man.She would always go to the cafe to get coffee anytime he was on duty, and he didn't fail to see how she shyly made her way to the counter to make her order.There was something that caught his attention about her and he decided to talk to her.One day after he finished working he s
Madison slept for so long, the sleep that engulfed her was so powerful that she didn't sense when Jackson came to snuggle beside her.The sun through the raised curtains and the tender warmth she felt against her face made her eyes open to the alluring brightness of the alluring sun, she yawned and stretched her body only to feel something underneath the duvet.There was no way she could bring herself to imagine what was under there with her perhaps a dog in the house?Dogs are known to always creep onto the beds of their owners and if there is one animal she doesn't like then it's a dog.Slowly she raised the duvet and to her surprise it was Jackson holding tightly to her leg, she smiled at the bundle of joy and brushed a loc of hair from his forehead. This was the only reason she still remained sane after everything she had passed through. And she vowed to live a better life for his sake. Gently removing the covers so she doesn't wake him, she tiptoed back to return the duvet. By t
Cassandra reached out to squeeze his hands across the table, "I truly am sorry"."And I am not mad anymore, this whole soft attitude does not suit you at all" he laughed."Really, now I'm being nice and careful with my words, you don't like it?" She teased."No, not at all, I like you just the way you are, mean and full of harsh words"."I'll take that as a compliment" she smiled at him.Max opened the door a bit "if I'm not interrupting, there is something I'll like to show you Sir"."Okay I'll call for you in a minute"Cassandra stood up ready to leave " you haven't paid me a visit as promised" she accused him."Don't worry, I will soon enough".he followed her to the door and helped open it. They said their goodbyes and he went to his seat.He picked up his phone and called for Max to come in."So what is it that you have for me, hope it's interesting?" He asked as Max walked in."It is very interesting Sir, in fact you are going to love it" "Alright, give it to me then".Max start
The McPherson consortium anniversary that took place two days before was all over the news.Different TV channels and all blogs had their caption of how the event turned out to be. It was the talk of many about the new chairman.Questions lingered that people were afraid to ask, who the new chairman was? And how did he get there? But as it is with blogs and social media platforms the questions started coming up from different sources.The search began by people on social media to find out who Jake McPherson is, his social media handle does not hold much information about him so they were left in the dark.The people who attended the anniversary left with different feelings in their hearts, some of them saw Jake as a business opportunity while some of them looked at him as an upcoming threat.George Hargreaves was one of those who left with happiness brimming from both his ears, a smile on his lips and his daughter hooked to his arms. His satisfaction could not be contained when he saw
The words escaped from her mouth before she knew it, but she was not ready to take it back.George Hargreaves wondered at the nerve of his granddaughter, when did she muster the courage to talk and in the manner she did?"What did I just hear you say" he asked her."You heard me and I'll say it again, I am tired of being your whore" This time it came out in a clear voice free of fear and tears.George was taken aback by her, he still could not believe she was talking and with so much confidence, "There must be something wrong with you, after all that I have helped you to achieve, you talk back at me?"."How many girls your age can boast of a career like yours?, How many can boast of a wealthy lifestyle and family". He asked her."Oh please, all you did was turn me into a public whore for your selfish reasons and a tool for your insatiable appetite for sex" she was breathing hard as she continued raving."I'm done with this, no more will I be used by you or any other man as a sex toy."
Charlotte stood impatiently, still in the dark room. The text message had just been delivered to Jake, it was just a minute and it felt like an eternity to her.The phone rang it was Jake, "hello" his voice was calm, "Charlotte are you okay?". She almost burst into tears as she heard his voice."Charlotte, I can't help you if you don't tell me what is going on. What kind of danger are you in?".Relief swept through her, and hope came alive in her again. "My grandfather, he wants to kill me, he has me trapped in a dark room"."What?, Why will he want to kill you?" It still surprised him that George Hargreaves would want to kill Charlotte.Charlotte cried over the phone "He knows about us, he knows that we tricked him and he plans to kill me and put the blame on you".Jake paused for a moment thinking of how to save her, he made a promise to her and it was about time he fulfilled the promise to her." where are you now, do you know where he kept you".Charlotte was quick to reply, "In hi
In George Hargreaves's home office, George and Jake fell to talking, George started the conversation, he couldn't stop smiling and looking happy which made it all the more suspicious, "I am glad you and Charlotte are working out well, I was afraid it wouldn't work out considering how I approached you the first time""Wine?" He offered and poured two glasses, handing one to Jake who just put it in front of him.Jake rubbed the tip of his cup, he needed to catch George but must be smart, "there was no need to be afraid, Charlotte is a wonderful girl and it so happened that I started liking her".George drank from his glass, "I see, so why exactly are you here, from your statement I can tell that you find my granddaughter interesting but it does not change your views about me.""That is very true, and I am here for her".The wine in George's cup was empty so he poured more into it," she isn't here, only last night she said she was coming to see you. I am surprised you are here asking for
