Janet sat in her car for a while and kept glancing at the cafe. There were a lot of customers at the place who were having their breakfast. Stella had started breakfast at the place after the last time Janet gave her some money to upgrade her coffee shop. There were also a few workers working for her. While still in her car, Janet reminisced on the past when her Mom always sang her praises because she was bringing in money.Bryan was still there to give her anything she asked for. Unfortunately, things have changed. Bryan was now a wanted criminal while she was left with nothing except for the car he bought for her. It also looks hard to get another rich guy as a boyfriend. It was the reason she was now running after Arthur.After watching them for a while, Janet opened the door and made her way to the coffee shop. “Hi, Mom.” She greeted her mother who was at the cash register. She was making sure that the money her workers collected tallied with the customers' orders.“Where are yo
Arthur glanced at her one last time before snorting coldly. “You're a loser and will always be one.”Without another word, he left her standing at the place, just like in the morning.Once Arthur was inside Jesse's car, the latter started the car and drove off without saying anything. Arthur was expecting to hear a word from her but she said nothing until they got to the restaurant.As soon as they got to the place, Jesse came down and began to walk away but Arthur quickly ran to catch her.“Come on Jess, I don't understand your silence. What seems to be the problem?”Arthur was confused and kept wondering about the sudden change in her mood.“Why are you suddenly acting this way? Did I do something to offend you?”Arthur was clueless and kept wondering what must have gone wrong.“Nothing.” Jesse replied with a voice that lacked emotions.Arthur shook his head several times. “There's something wrong. Talk to me please.”Without another word, Jesse turned around and began to walk in th
“You are so pathetic.” Jesse whispered in her ears when she got to the place where Janet was waiting.“How can you keep going after someone who no longer cares about you? Have you no dignity and self-respect?”“No.” Janet blurted out coldly. “I have none of those things you just mentioned. I don't care about having them either. All I care about is to win Arthur back and that's what I'll do.”“Hmph.” Jesse shook her head and scrutinized Janet in a disgusting look before she continued. “Dream on. I assure you that even in your dreams, you will never win. Arthur is not a pushover. He might have been that to you in the past but not anymore.”Without that, Jesse turned to Arthur and gestured for him to follow her. The duo left Janet and began to walk into the mall.“What did you say to her? I can see that she's fuming already. I hope she doesn't put up a fight with you.”“I'd like to see her try.” Jesse replied as they continued to match into the mall.“About what I said to her. I told
Their leader took a quick glance at Janet's table and found her busy with her food. She knew she was now the object of their discussion so she pretended not to notice them.The leader turned to Bryan with a stern face. “Spider, do you know her?”Bryan nodded his head. “Yes.”“Who's she to you?” He asked coldly.“She's my girlfriend.”The leader kept quiet and only stared at Bryan for a while before turning around the place. Some people recognized them and were now glancing in their direction.He saw a few making some calls and deduced that they were calling the police. When the man turned his face back, he saw the waiter coming with their orders.“Let's get out of here now.” He whispered and they all rose to their feet and made their way out to the waiter's bewilderment. He paused in his tracks and gaped at the retreating figure of the men. The waiter was completely clueless of what was happening because he was yet to see their faces.“It's them. The united brothers' gang.” A woman m
“Good, now tell us. Where do you have your mind on?”Arthur lifted his face and glanced at all their faces while still smiling. The men also exchanged glances at themselves and kept wondering what was in the mind of Bryan.“Why are you wasting our time?” The leader snapped at him and he nodded.“Ok. I'll go ahead and say it now. It's Raremix mills. The company that belonged to the man who got married to my late mother and adopted me. They have a habit of leaving a lot of cash at the place before taking it to the bank.”“Oh, you think we'll get plenty of money from your father's company.”Bryan nodded his head. “Yes. I'm very sure.”“Hmph.” The leader snorted. “I hope you also know everything about the place and how we can go in and come out.”Bryan sneered and remained silent before uttering. “I know the place like the back of my palms.”Later that evening, Jesse drove back home together with her sister. They were through with the day's work and happily drove home.The girls had boug
Jesse eyed her sister but didn't say anything else. There was no use arguing with her because she won't win.“Whatever, don't you dare cause any trouble.” Jesse replied to her.Meanwhile, Arthur went to visit his Dad where he spent the whole night. When it was time for him to go home, he made his way outside the gate.“Arthur.” He heard someone call out his name and turned to see Janet standing outside. She had left Jesse's residence and decided to come to the McCains’ home. She had earlier wanted to drive to Arthur's villa at Salem street but decided against it. Janet believed that Arthur wouldn't be home at such a time and was right indeed.He went to spend time with his father after leaving his workplace.“What are you doing here?” Arthur asked in a cold and distant voice. Janet didn't say anything and began to approach him but he walked away and made his way to the car. However, Janet was quick and blocked his path.“She sent her sister to assault me.” Janet lied and got Arthur
“I know that. In fact, can we forget about her. She's not worth the stress.” Jesse added.“Can we talk later? I want to rest now.” “Alright, but don't forget to call me so we can visit those children together.”“Sure.”Arthur ended the call the same time the cab pulled over at his villa. He soon got down and made his way into the house. Even though Jesse told him to forget about whatever Janet did, he was still angry about it. Even when he was being greeted by his domestic staff, he didn't reply to any of their greetings. This action of his made Mrs Olivia anxious that she had to mutter to herself.“I hope the young master is not having problems in his relationship again. The other day, he promised to bring over his girlfriend to try out my dishes. What could be the problem now?”Mrs Olivia was looking forward to seeing the lady who had captured their boss's heart. She must be a very special person.After staring at the retreating figure of Arthur as he ascended the stairs, she turn
Jesse almost fell backwards but was fortunate to hold herself. She was wearing sneakers, jean trousers, and a t-shirt. It was the reason she did not fall to the ground.“Watch where you're going b*tch.” The woman barked. Jesse was speechless. She had never met anyone like that before. She looked really bitter and was like someone who had a quarrel at home before coming out.She even called her a b*tch like they've met before and even had a misunderstanding.“Ma'am, why did you push you? And what did you just call me?” Jesse raised her voice and charged at the woman. She had earlier dropped the bags on her hands.Jesse had almost descended on the bitter woman with her hands when a security guard held her hands.“Ma'am, you don't have to do that.”Stella, who was oblivious of what happened behind her, turned and saw the security guard holding Jesse's hand.“Oh, you want to hit me. Why don't you go ahead and do it?”Just then, Arthur and Jenny ran to the place. They were ahead of Jesse
