The Heir's Masquerade Chapter 14: Whatever It Takes
Ms Belleford was right on the money. Jackson had come to her in order to persuade her to not just vote for him to remain CEO but aslo for most of the board members to vote with her as well.According to Adrian, she had that much power and his information had never failed him before so he would trust it.“Yes, yes it is”, Jackson answered. “I was hoping you would be inclined to vote for me to remain the CEO”.“Honest and Straightforward, I like that”, Ms. BelleFord said. “Before we continue allow me to properly apologise to you”, Ms Belleford said. “Apologise for what exactly?”, Jackson asked. “For not offering my condolences about your parents’ death until now, you may not have noticed but I was out of the country during your parents’ funeral, so I haven’t had time to tell you how sorry I am about your loss”, Ms. Belleford.“Oh thank you”, Jackson said. He tried to pull up a sad face but had no idea if he was doing it right. How do you fake grieve? Jackson wasn’t quite sure, he had n
The Heir's Masquerade Chapter 15: Keep Your Hands To Yourself
Rebecca was still in the office when Jackson, who she thought was Blake, had chosen to leave. She wasn’t sure where he was going, nor did she care. But she had to admit his actions did leave her curious. What would Blake do If he was kicked out of the company? She had often hoped for the day when something like this would happen to him. She imagined it so many times it had become her favorite fantasy. She thought Blake would cry and moan after it had happened, and she would get to flip him off as he got escorted out of the company building.Now that it was about to happen, Rebeccas didn’t feel any of the glee she thought for sure she would have. How Strange. She didn’t stop hating Balke or even considered forgiving him for everything he had done to her. NO. HELL NO!It was just that his actions had left her a bit puzzled. “Ahhh why am I still thinking about that bastard," Rebecca said. “Sure he didn’t do what I expected him to do but that doesn’t mean he’s a changed person”.“It’s an

Brian looked up at Jackson, he was in disbelief and in shock, and so was Rebecca how mouth was left upon. “Blake!”, Brian exclaimed. “YOU punched me? You?”. “Yeah, you should keep your hands to yourself”, Jackson said. The thing that both Rebecca and Jackson didn’t know was that the hand Jackson had used to punch Brian was seriously hurting, he didn’t say anything about it and tried to keep a straight face.If it didn’t it would ruin the current mood, and he would stop looking cool around Rebecca. Blake got up from the floor. “Well I’ll be damned you got some balls after all”, Brian said. “What’s up with you Bro? When you insulted me in the funeral I kinda understood, after all, It was your parent’s funeral, but laughing at my dad’s face when he brought you a deal of a lifetime, and punching me for this overpaid bitch”.“You ain’t acting like yourself at all”. Jackson said nothing. He didn’t know what to say, all he could think about was how he felt. Disgust. He felt disgusted just lo
The Heir's Masquerade Chapter 1: Jackson, a servant
In the city of New York, there stood a mansion, with enough rooms and land way too much for anyone. The word mansion is used but honestly, it was more of a place containing beautiful gardens, sculptures, and rooms. Anything that looked elegant could be found in this mansion. This was the Starkwood mansion home of the Starkwood family owners Starkwood Motors the world's greatest Manufacturers with over a hundred-year legacy on their shouldersIn one of the rooms was a man in his early twenties, with black hair and dark eyes making the bed that looked to be able to fit twenty people. “Hey Jackson you’re doing It wrong”, a man with blonde hair said standing in the doorway. “How exactly am I doing it wrong Master Blake”, the dark-haired man asked. The blonde man jumped on the bed and started wriggling. “See, there are still a lot of rumbles everywhere, It’s like you’re not even trying, do better or I’m going to ask Father to replace you”, Blake said.The dark-haired man clenched his fis
The Heir's Masquerade Chapter 2: Not My Face
Jackson kept looking at the mirror and what it was showing him didn’t change. It was Blake's face staring back at him.”What…How..Why do I have Blake’s face?” Jackson thought. The nurse and thought were starting to worry about him, he hadn’t said a word and just kept staring into the mirror. “Mr Starkwood I know you don’t look exactly as you did before, but try to understand this type of surgery is quite complex and we had to use past photos as a reference. In fact, you look younger which is a good thing”, The Doctor said. Jackson turned his gaze to the doctor and the nurse showing a look of horror. “I ..”, Jackson was about to speak but was interrupted by the door sliding open. Coming in was the family butter, he had long grey hair, a full-grown beard, and looked close to the late Daniel Starwood’s age. “We called him during the accident. He's hardly left your side. He stayed here during the entire operation and refused to leave until you had woken up, quite a loyal servant you got
The Heir's Masquerade Chapter 3: The New Heir
Going into the mansion there were servants waiting to greet Jackson or to be more precise Blake Starkwood. Cooks, maids, cleaners they all slightly bowed. Huh well, I don't hate this, Jackson thought with a grin on his face. Walking beside him was Adrian. You're doing good so far avoid talking with them too much for now insults will do, Adrian said whispering in his ear. Jackson nodded slowly still not fully into the acting, just because some people had more money than others doesn't mean they should be treated like trash. Hey Adrian If I'm such a brat to everyone why do you care about me so much? Jackson asked. Adrian remained quiet for a while. Well, I've become quite attached to you young master you might even say I need you, Adrian said with a smirk on his face.Jackson saw that but kept walking. Adrian had directed him to Blake's room, truth be told he didn't need any directions. He had spent quite a lot of time in this room not sleeping in it, just cleaning it every day for y
The Heir's Masquerade Chpater 4: Funeral and Inheritance
As soon the driver opened the door Jackson saw flashes which made him shield his eyes. He got out of the car hearing mummers and seeing tons of people to the side. This wasn’t a red carpet show it was a funeral but it certainly didn’t feel like it.To his back he saw rows and rows of limos parked, to his side he saw paparazzi, reporters, newsmen, and regular civilians trying to look at the event. None of them could enter the church since it was a ‘private ’event. “It’s Blake Starkwood I thought he was dead”, “Seems he’s alive and well what’s he been doing these past few months”.Adrian came to Jackson’s Side stopping any reporters or cameramen from getting close. “This is a troubling time for Mr Starkwood so please just let him through he doesn’t need all this”, Adrian said to the reporters. Adrian led Jackson to the church while shielding him from many cameraman as he possibly could. When they both entered the church there was murmuring heard, men with black luxurious suits and wome
The Heir's Masquerade Chapter 5: First Day as CEO
The next few days Jackson was woken up by Adrian, which was quite a task because it seemed he was attached to the bed he didn’t want to part from it no matter what happened. He was then dressed by Adrian in an expensive blue-looking suit, which Adrian reminded him once again that it was Blake’s favorite color.Adrian then went to a drawer in a room opening it there were rows and rows of watches. At first glance it was obvious that one of them was more expensive than most houses, there were watches with pure gold and diamonds embedded into them, and there were watches with a silver layout but a slick design with the brand logo of Rolex one of the most recognized watch companies in the world, there were those with a platinum layout and some with a leather skin not as charming as the rest but had an old and Gentleman vibe to it.“A suit is never complete without a watch. Do well to remember that.”, Adrian said. He gestured to the drawer giving Jackson the choice of picking which watch to
