“What was that?” Mr. Andrew asked out of the blues the moment Mrs. Nelly had dropped the call off with Mr. Moe.“Yes, he is the one,” she replied with an unfazed expression on her face.“What did he say? I think I heard him mention going to the police station. What for?” Mr. Andrew goes on to ask, as he could not stop the negative feelings, that something was going to happen that took over the better side of him. He wasn't quite sure of what to think, but then he could also read clearly, a few disappointed looks on Mrs. Nelly’s face.“That guy must have found his way out. How could he? Who does he think he is that can't be tampered with?” Mr. Andrew blurted out, but this time with a high tone that pointed out that he was so upset.“Since the police that called my husband didn't specifically mention that, we can't be too sure; you know it might be mixed up somewhere. Let's say it's for something else. Let's just keep our fingers crossed and be hopeful.”All the effort she made to make
Mrs. Nelly stormed into her husband's room in a hurry the moment she got into the house early that morning. “Good day, sweetheart. I have been calling you since yesterday evening after I felt you should be back from the police station. Moreover, this morning, you still didn't pick up my call,” she explained, looking at Mr. Moe’s hard face while he remained speechless.She continued, “I called Jasper to inquire from him what was wrong, and he didn't pick up the call as well. I even thought something must have happened to you, and I had to rush down here now, as it was already late when I called last night. What is the problem?”“Take a look at this,” Mr. Moe finally said, handing over a parcel containing some hard copies of pictures to her.Mr. Moe had received the parcel the previous day from Jasper, the moment he got back from the police station.Jasper had informed him that the security man received it from an unknown source, who claimed that Mr. Andrew gave him the parcel to delive
“If you don't want me to have trust issues with you in this marriage, you need to sell your house,” Mr. Moe said thoughtfully, just the way he had pondered the idea in his mind.Mrs. Nelly would rather live fully with her husband, just for peace to reign. So she didn't need to argue that. “It's fine; I will do that. I will sell it as long as you are willing to forgive me, my love. Even if you want me to put it up for sale today, I will do that.”She was ready to change this time and was also eager to work on that. All she needs to do is adopt a new behavior from the moment on, as she thought of staying away from Mr. Andrew.Mrs. Nelly could read that her husband had forgiven her from the way he spoke to her.She stood up from where she had kneeled all along and went to hug her husband, who was seated on his bed. “Thank you, sweetheart; I promise I won't let you down again.”“One thing is promising, while another is keeping the promise. I only hope you will keep to it because, from now
“Have you heard anything about Barrister Harry and Alexander after they were arrested here?” Jack asked in an expressionless tone, yet his facial expressions convey some concern.“I mean, what is their fate now?”“What else will be their fate if not going to jail?” Blade uttered indifferently with an unbothered expression.In his mind, he feels that whatever their fate is, they deserve it. Having accepted to go that far to scam Jack was something punishable by law, as far as he was concerned.“So, then, you mean they didn't find it necessary to explain to the police who got them to involve themselves in the act?” Jack questioned tentatively.“They did, but you should know Mr. Moe better by now. Well, Officer Ken let me know that Mr. Moe was invited to the station, and he came.”Jack’s brows furrowed as he thought of what the outcome of Blade gist would be. And so, he listened with keen interest.Blade continued, “But then he denied ever having anything to do with the culprits, and sin
Jasper was the one who actually met Luciano on his way back from his long walking exercise routine. The moment Jasper got back, he had to get to where his boss, Mr. Moe, was.“This one, you are beaming with joy; what is the secret, did you just win a jackpot?” Mr. Moe questioned Jasper when he noticed he approached him with smiles all over his face.“I got someone who is reliable to assist us; he is one of the housekeepers in Jack’s house.” Jasper explained to his boss as he sat down on a couch next to his boss, in the kicimg room.“How are you sure that this person can do the job? What if he just wants to collect money and still not do anything?” Mr. Moe interjected with piqued curiosity as his brows furrowed, his frustration evident in his tone.“He will; besides, he gave me his trust by saying I shouldn't pay him now until he completes the job.”“Wow!” Mr. Moe exclaimed in surprise as he breathed out a sigh of relief. This seemed relatively surreal; it was as if he were the one wh
Jack got back from work earlier than usual that very day; he couldn't wait for his normal closing time as Blade needed his attention at home.He just needed to put his things together and get back home immediately, as Blade sounded rather urgent over the phone, although he knew why anyway.The moment Jack reached home, he couldn't even wait to pull off, and he went straight to meet Blade, who was already waiting for him at their favorite spot for discussion.“Welcome, boss,” Blade said the moment Jack advanced close to him.“Thank you. Just go straight to the point. How did it go?” Jack asked hurriedly.“After testing and examining the substance, it happened that the white one is propofol while the blue substance is benzodiazepine,” Blade explained.“Ok. So what exactly does it do?” Jack asked, remaining disbelieving.“Well, the white substance is to keep you in a coma, and like he instructed Luciano, after two days, he should continually add the blue substance, which is benzodiazepin
“The guy did it. Take a look at this,” Jasper said as he passed his phone to Mr. Moe, who watched the video three times, where Jack was lying unconsciously. It all seemed so comic to him that he laughed over it again and again, which was the reason he watched it more than once.He actually asked Luciano to do that so as to confirm that Jack was in a coma for real. To him, Jack had really been a hard nut to crack, and so this was the best way to follow him. Now it seems his dream has come to pass.He couldn't contain the joy he felt. “Yes, that's a good job. Honestly, in the course of all these, I never believed so well that the guy could do it, even though I said it. I thought he just wanted to pull our legs. But thank God he did; he didn't just deliver, but he did a perfect job.” Mr. Moe went on and on to express the way his heart was gladdened.“Indeed, he did a wonderful job, boss,” Jasper admitted.“I can certainly say that the drug got him big time; look at the way he is lying on
“Wow! We have the papers where he signed out his share of the shares; he has lost everything to us now. So we will turn up in grand style to face him squarely,” Jack said to Blade.Luciano has returned the documents to his boss, Jack. It happened that Jack had initially changed the content of the documents to be that Mr. Moe was giving out his portion of shares to him. But unfortunately for Mr. Moe, he didn't care to read it thoroughly before he signed the merger.“Young master, there will be no need for that. You only need to make a video now to let him know that not even the tiniest of the hair was removed from your skin.”“Ok, that's fine. I am sure that by now he must be thinking that he has the upper hand, if only he knew,” Jack chuckled.“I thought he was smarter than this, but he has been played at his game,” Blade jeered.“Anyway, that's for him to bother and not me,” Jack replied.“By the time he gets to know this, he will definitely regret every step and action he took.”***
“Getting married to you is one of the best decisions I have made,” Jack complimented Jasmine, while Jasmine kept on grinning from ear to ear stylishly.They were relaxing in the sitting room, as it was the weekend.“Mum, can you join me in my game if you don't mind?” Amanda interrupted the lovey-dovey moments Jack and Jasmine were having together.“I will join you soon, you can go back to your room, babygirl,” Jasmine hastily replied and Amanda winked excitedly at her and left.Not long after Amanda left, one of the housekeepers came by. “Good day, young master. Someone is here to see you, and she said her name is Nancy."With raised, angry-looking brows, Jack turned and said to the housekeeper, “Tell her to leave at once and never to step foot here.” Looking so bitter, like he just heard terrible news, he added inwardly, “I wonder who showed her the way to my house.”Jasmine tapped him gently on his lap. “Darling, that was a bit harsh. Please hear her out first.”“There is nothing wr
Jack and Blade were watching the news of Richard's jail sentence.Before then, Jack had made sure that Mark was set free just like they had agreed, even though the police finally came to rescue him. But then he remembered that Mark almost got into trouble just because the latter wanted to help him save his daughter and Jasmine, if he had agreed to do what he wished.He didn't stop at making sure that Mark escaped; he also ensured that Mark's grandmother was sent to the best hospital for proper medication treatment.That was the least he could do for himself at the time.Mark in turn appreciated him, and Jack offered him the sum of money he needed to set up a business.“I never saw you as this happy, young master.” Blade commented.“Of course, I need to be happy. Knowing I don't have to worry about anything ever again. At least now, Mr. Moe, Mr. Andrew, and now Richard are all in jail, and I will make sure they rot in jail for all I care.”Jack misquoted, coming from a completely diff
Jack saw that as an opportunity to at least express what he feels for Amanda, as he had initially given her the impression that Amanda was the one who needed her more.But right now, he could feel he needs Jasmine more in his life, even more than Amanda does, and he wouldn't miss this moment to prove it.Thank goodness that none of them lost their lives, especially Amanda, as she was on the verge of losing it while they got to the hospital, but Mercy said no.Jack had spent over an hour in the kitchen just to make steaks, mac 'n' cheese, and fruit salad.Amanda had requested it, and since love needs to be expressed by going out of one's way to get things done,.He had to do it, even though he doesn't enjoy being in the kitchen, hoping Jasmine would enjoy it as well.Jack called out, "My two babies, dinner is ready."Amanda's room was occupied by both Jasmine and Amanda.Even though there was a lot of room at Jack's residence, Amanda and Jasmine can't be separated, at least not now tha
After Jasmine and Amanda were discharged from the hospital, they were both brought back to Jack's house, as the doctor had instructed that they needed proper attention and love more than any other time.Jack saw that as an opportunity to at least express what he feels for Amanda, as he had initially given her the impression that Amanda was the one who needed her more.But right now, he could feel he needs Jasmine more in his life, even more than Amanda does, and he wouldn't miss this moment to prove it.Thank goodness that none of them lost their lives, especially Amanda, as she was on the verge of losing it while they got to the hospital, but Mercy said no.Jack had spent over an hour in the kitchen just to make steaks, mac 'n' cheese, and fruit salad.Amanda had requested it, and since love needs to be expressed by going out of one's way to get things done,.He had to do it, even though he doesn't enjoy being in the kitchen, hoping Jasmine would enjoy it as well.Jack called out, "M
From what he could read, he could sense that something was happening behind his nose.Could it be that Mark was bargaining with Jack on the instructions that were given to him or something?The thought of it made him almost go wacko, as no one crosses that line and gets free with him.Even if not immediately, he would certainly make sure the person went down 6 feet below.Richard pulled out his gun from his pocket and placed it on Mark's head. I gave you instructions on what to do, and you dare try to do otherwise?” He blurted it out angrily.“You pull that trigger on that guy's head,” he instructed one of his boys that followed him inside while looking in Jack's direction, to show who he was referring his boy to.“Then you,” he said, gesturing to the other person, “go to bring his daughter and side chick where they are kept.”As soon as the guy left to get Jasmine and Amanda out, he said, “Hold on, don't pull the trigger yet.” He quickly instructed the first guy he had asked to shoot
“What is going on here? I ask again.” Richard shouted at the top of his voice this time.From what he could read, he could sense that something was happening behind his nose.Could it be that Mark was bargaining with Jack on the instructions that were given to him or something?The thought of it made him almost go wacko, as no one crosses that line and gets free with him.Even if not immediately, he would certainly make sure the person went down 6 feet below.Richard pulled out his gun from his pocket and placed it on Mark's head.

“Jack.” The words got choked in his throat. Everyone in the city knew about the latest Jack Ford. The once-hidden CEO of Agron Incorporation had decided to pipe down all this time.He knew that if it's true, then the person right before him held immense power, more than even the president of the state, and the incorporation thrived powerfully.But then Mark couldn't believe what he heard. With a smirk, he said, “You think you can fool me, right?”“Believe it or doubt it at your own risk.’ but their business thrived.Then the realization that it should be true hit Mark: was he the same person he heard had decided to keep a low profile along?Mark fell on his face immediately at Jack's feet. “Please, I beg you, spare them. Please,” he pleaded, and Jack stood up, as it was obvious he was unmoved by his gesture. He knew he couldn't fall so cheap as he was sure that Mark was only being a cheap hypocrite, he thought as he walked to the west side of the room, examining the view properly.“D
Just then, the captain's phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. He looked down at his pants, where his phone was, and then immediately went back to Jack.“I will advise you to pick up that call; you might be saving a life. Who knows.” Jack teased with mocking looks and enjoyed the helpless expression on the captain's face.The captain hastily picked up the call, and it was quite a familiar voice that he heard.“Mr. Mark…” The caregiver he had employed to take care of his grandmother's voice came through as if it were vibrating.“Mrs. Joy,” The captain called out to confirm the voice he just heard.The captain's eyes widened in shock as the pistol he held earlier fell from his hand, while Jack gave him a condensed look of confirmation.“You fool,” he muttered, but he could be heard as he watched the captain finish his call.As soon as he got off the phone, he turned to Jack and said, “Don't let your men touch my grandmother. She is all that I have!” The captain started with a loud voic
Blade was at home, ordering one or two things from his end via phone calls.Although he was on and off the house as needed after Jack had left, as he made sure everything was under control.One of the boys that works for him had come to report to him about what was going on so far.The report wasn't perfect compared to what he had planned in his head, but one thing was to plan, and another which is the main thing is making it go exactly as planned.Blade was busy contacting the police too, so as to keep tabs with them as he tried to make sure they didn't fail him at this moment when he needed them most.It's a matter of life and death, and everyone has their own part to play, just to leave no stone unturned.He also wished that Jack, Amanda, and Jasmine would be safe as they had planned, but it depends on how perfect the operation is.If not, with the way assassins sometimes work, they might end up killing everyone if things don't go their way or if they aren't stopped in the right ma
