“Where is Aunt Jasmine? Why isn't she here with us yet, Daddy?” Amanda, who was dressed in a Versace gown, inquired of her father, Jack, as she entered the sitting room from her room after her personal aide dressed her up.

Jack had provided Jasmine with sufficient funds to choose the most suitable outfits for his daughter. So, it was one of the clothes that Amanda had on and it fit her perfectly which made her look like a billion dollars.

“Don't worry, she will join us there. I will simply send her the address of where we are on our way out. Maybe something caught her attention on her way, or she needs to attend to something—who knows? Besides, it's the weekend, and she may decide to do one or two things for herself,” Jack quickly replied. His energy didn't match that of little Amanda’s that late afternoon, so the best he could do was to answer her carefully.

Not satisfied with her father’s reply, Amanda asked, “Why not call her to confirm, Daddy, rather than guessing?”

“Ok, then, I w

    The next day, after Amanda's birthday, Jack was with Blade in their usual relaxation space chatting away with some gist.Meanwhile, Amanda was in her room, taking her siesta.Just then, a call came on Jack's phone, and he picked it up. “Hello, who am I speaking to?” Jack inquired, as it was a new number.“I am Brenda from the Rehabilitation Center in New York.”“Okay, so how can I help you?”“Your ex-wife, Nancy, is missing, and your attention is required here now.”“Ex-wife is missing?” Jack retorted quickly, trying to connect the dots to what he had just heard. “So, if she is missing at your rehabilitation center where she is being treated, how does that concern me?”“I think we will resolve this better when you get here,” the lady at the other end responded.“Okay, then, I will be there soon.”As soon as Jack got off the phone, Blade asked him what the problem was, noticing how worried Jack had looked while taking the call.Jack explained what the caller had said to him and stood u

    On a sunny afternoon, the next day after Jack was held hostage, a car was seen pulling up right in front of the rehabilitation center.The next thing, Nancy and Joshua were brought out of the car and made to stand still in one spot, both looking like criminals held hostage. They were both apprehended and brought to the rehabilitation center, based on their appearance.The little drama that played out attracted everyone there, including the chief rehabilitation officer- Mr Thomas, the health workers, and every other person around. Everyone was visibly shocked by what they had seen and muttered among themselves. They couldn't figure out exactly what was happening.However, Mr Thomas and the health workers could recognize Nancy at a glance but didn't know who the man, who happened to be Joshua, was.In no time, a convoy of exotic cars, arranged in a straight line, was seen driving in. The people outside were gobsmacked by the procession of luxury cars. Everyone who saw it was overwhelmed

    The moment Jack and Blade got back, Jasmine was at home with Amanda.“Daddy!” Amanda ran and hugged her dad the moment she saw him.Jack lifted her up with both hands, then went and sat on one of the seats in the living room, making Amanda sit on his lap.“Daddy, where have you been since yesterday? Uncle Blade told me you went on a business trip when I asked him about your whereabouts.”To avoid more questions, Jack just replied, “Yes, I was on a business trip, but I am back now for you.”“I am happy you are back, Daddy,” Amanda replied in her tiny voice. She then leaned forward and pecked her father. “I miss you, dad.”“I miss you too, my dear.” Jack replied After what seemed like a flash, he said, “You know what? I need to take a shower, eat, and then come to have some nice time with you, okay?”Jack needed to take a bath very quick, as he had refused to bathe or even eat while he was held back at the rehabilitation center. So after he taken a bath. He was already famished, so he

    After Jasmine and Amanda left, Jack and his right-hand man, Blade, continued their conversation about how they felt everything would gradually go well with Jasmine.As they went on and on, the clatter of cups and chatter was a stark contrast to the silent imagination building in Jack's mind.He was overwhelmed with fantasies about what life would be like after Jasmine became a full family member as the love of his life, and a mother to Amanda.He could now see that he had loved Jasmine, but he had held himself back all this while.“Why is Jasmine not yet back with Amanda? It's been a while since they left, and they are meant to be back by now,” Blade asked, bringing Jack out of his imagination.Acknowledging what Blade had said, Jack took his phone, dialed Jasmine's contact number, and placed it on his right ear. It said, “The person you are trying to call is switched off at the moment. Please try again later.”Jack was shocked. It wasn't clear to him why Jasmine would turn off her ph

    “First of all, you need to put off any contact with the police you might have engaged with. I know you must have reported the case already,” the man at the end of the call said with a firm voice.“Secondly, you will come with two billion dollars to get them out of here. Come with cash; there will be no need for transfers." It was obvious this man meant business with Jack, leaving no room for negotiation or even bargaining.“See, I need to make this easy for you to understand, the earlier you make the money available, the better for you. The longer you wait, the fewer opportunities you have to capture them alive. I hope my points are very clear,” he questioned Jack.“Yes, it is,” Jack hastily replied with a shaky voice. He couldn't wait to get off the phone so he could take quick steps to get Jasmine and Amanda out of where they were.“Note that if, by any means, after I send you the contact information for the place we are, you think you can play some foul games with us, then you must

    After much conviction from Blade, Jack decided to give what Blade had suggested a try.Jack understood that Blade's concern was not the money, but the clear instructions in two chilling words: "Come alone."His own life was also at risk.When he thought about it, he felt a knot of dread form in his stomach.This should be a twisted game that someone, somewhere, must be playing—a game with Jasmine's life and his daughter as the prize. Fear mingled with a simmering rage within him. He wouldn't let anyone behind this to win. He would save Amanda and Jasmine, no matter the cost.Just then, Jack’s phone buzzed, a harsh sound that cut through the tense silence. He answered, his face hardening as he listened. When he hung up, his gaze met that of Blade, a grim determination mirroring Jack's own.After he was done with the call, he said to Blade, "They've contacted me," his voice steady despite the tremor in his hand. "They want the money, and they want me to deliver it now."Adrenaline flood

    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

    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

    “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.

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.” 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
