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.”***
A beautiful lady in her late 20s, dressed in a showy gown, walked majestically to the executive bar of a hotel, where Mr. Moe was seated waiting for her.As soon as she got in, Jasper, who was seated with Mr. Moe before the lady got in, had to excuse himself and sit in a different space, but still not far from where his boss was.“Good day, sir. Longest time,” the lady greeted after she got seated.“Welcome, Bella. It's actually been awhile.”“I can see that since your wife got back, you fail to notice or even remember me anymore.”“Nope, don't take it that way. You know I needed to do so for peace to reign. I can't take her back and then go outside to be seen by someone else. My wife is too sensitive, and she will notice even the slightest move I make,” Mr. Moe defended.He wouldn't want a situation in which Bella would be angry because of his decision.Bella has been his girlfriend since he got separated from his wife, but since he got back together with Nelly, she has kept her dist
Jack had felt bored at home, as during the while he had kept tabs with Mr. Moe, the prior wasn't going to work and all, which made the latter believe he was truly in a coma. But now it is over, and he will be at work the next two days, which would be Monday.He decided to step out with Blade, it was the weekend, and catching some fun with one of his favorite games—table tennis—wouldn't bite.They had played in turns, and he decided to rest with a glass of exotic wine when he sighted an appealing damsel.“This is irresistible. If this is a sin, then God should have mercy because I am committing it right away,” he said, leaving while Blade watched him to see what he was up to.Blade couldn't even try to stop him, as he left without hesitation. He could only speculate as to what his boss would be doing with a woman who was half-naked and exposed all her cleavage, as if she were attending a nightclub.‘Did she mistake the relaxation space for the hotel's club?’ Blade thought.If Jack need
“You had a long, heartfelt discussion with this beautiful lady you know nothing about. I hope you are into her already,” Blade asked, wanting to know what Jack was up to.Jack let out a chuckle without saying anything at first.Only if Blade knew the pain behind the beautiful face he thought he had gone to flirt with, then he would have to change his thoughts that he was flirting with her. Anyway, he wouldn't blame Blade because that was the impression Bella had given about herself with her outfit.“Do you know that people are suffering and smiling? If I hadn't approached her, I wouldn't have known something was indeed troubling her. Anyway, if it must interest you, what attracted me to her at first was that she looked so much like my late sister, so I decided to go close to get to know her more.”“So, what made you make such a statement before you left?”“Which statement was that?” Jack had already forgotten that he said something nasty before he left.“You said she was irresistible.
Bella decided to give Jack a call after she took a shower and changed to go see her mom at the hospital that evening.“Hi,” Bella said as the line connected.“Hello,” Jack replied. “Who am I speaking to?”“This is Bella, the lady you met today.”“Bella, how are you doing?”“I am good, and you?”“Very well. Thanks. How is your mom? Were you able to go pay for her bills like you said?”Bella felt relatively secure knowing that the first thing Jack asked after exchanging pleasantries was about her mom, just to see how she was doing.“I have transferred the amount to the doctor; I will be on my way after this call. They must have commenced with the surgery.”“Ok, that's fine. I pray for safe surgery. Do you need me to accompany you to see her after this? Maybe anytime next week.”“Let's see how it goes after the surgery, but for now, I think that wouldn't be necessary, sir. You have done enough, and I appreciate that a lot.”Bella would have loved it if Jack visited the hospital to see he
“You should have experienced enough trauma from all of these that I won't even have until forever. You are indeed a strong man, boss,” Jasmine praised Jack after the latter was done narrating the story of his latest encounter with Moe in detail to her.“I am happy you are good now. When I got to know that you didn't go to work for sometime just to make Mr. Moe believe you were in a coma, it was indeed something I couldn't comprehend,” she added.“Sometimes I ask if it's a crime to be wealthy. And other times, I just feel I can just move far away from the eyes of that man, but he who fights and runs lives to fight another day.”“Exactly, boss,” Blade, who had been listening while Jasmine and Jack did more of the talking, finally spoke.The chattering among the three friends went on and on as they teased about everything that had happened to Jack in the short time.“Let me get going. I have a few unfinished business matters I need to attend to. You know tomorrow is work, and I need to c
“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
