The Shadow Man

Meanwhile, back in North Star Entertainment "Seriously, what are you thinking Jessica? It's been years do you still plan to stay with that idiot." Tom Blake angrily said towards his sister, who turned her face away from the man. "Hey brat, I'm talking to you. Don't you forget because of you the company was put in danger back then?" "How many times do you keep pointing that out? How would I know that I slept with the useless brother?" Jessica angrily replied as she buried her nails in her palm. She had always regretted her action. But what can she do. It had already happened, and she couldn't go back and take back her words when all the elders agreed with the marriage. "Then do something about it. Your marriage has greatly affected your carried as well, you’re hardly getting any offers do you know that. You've been pulled by those good for nothing. How much more resources do you want to waste." "I wasted? Wasn't it because of me back then as well that the company had rose to the top

"Where have you been?" Jessica asked, shocked to see the man, drunk and looking like a beggar. She thought to herself as she looked at the man, 'How did I even end up in this kind of situation.' "Oh, dear, you're finally home. Did you know, while you were away, everyone has been so kind to me?" He said all drunk as he tried to straighten himself up and walk properly towards her. He was drunk, so he was unable to keep himself from walking in a straight direction. As he stumbled and fell onto the bush, he laughed, "Ha-ha, oh dear, I fell." Jessica blood boiled in annoyance. She was getting so frustrated by everything and now she returned home, finding the man she married all drunk and wasted. "Get up, don't embarrassed me at the middle of the night. Our neighbors are all asleep." In Jacob mind, 'What neighbors? Those so-called neighbor who do nothing but curse me for ruining your so-called perfect life.' "Ah, you're finally here. Get him inside already before the neighbors see us." J

A week later, Jessica returned with big news for his family. Despite not having a ring on her fingers, the man has asked her out to be his girlfriend. However, the man stated he didn't want to be her secret lover anymore. He stated: Why must a man in my statured hide behind someone who can't even clean my own shoes. Surely, I am far better than him. With those words, Jessica had been pondering on what to do. The time she had spent with Tom was indeed the happiest moments of her life. However, reality hits her back when she returns home and finds her husband, who looked like a beggar, welcoming her. She detested the man so much, that she wanted to end this marriage as soon as possible. But that was not easy at all. Still, he was a Wayne, and they were afraid that he might suddenly seek help from the Wayne’s for divorcing him when he had done nothing wrong at all. "Father, seriously, when will you make me divorce that man. I can't stand it anymore." Jessica complained as she walked ba

Early the next day, Jacob was wide away sleeping next to the woman. He looked at her and realized, she does have some beauty in her. As he recalled what happened that night, his head suddenly ached, a bit from drinking too much wine, since he could fall asleep at all. "Hmm, you're awake." Leslie said as he stretched her hands in the air, still half asleep. Jacob smiled as he removed the hair covering her face, "Good morning." Leslie was startled by the man's sudden action as she didn't move at all. She didn't find any problem with what the man was doing, "Thank you." "You better get change, once you're ready, let's talk about what to happen next." "Okay." Leslie went ahead to check out the bathroom; it was her first time seeing such a huge bathtub. She thought that since she was given such an opportunity, why not take the chance to relax. Jacob didn't bother on what the woman was doing. He could briefly hear her giggling and talking to herself in there. He only smiled thinking o

"Jacob, finally your home." Old Wayne said he went over to embrace his grandson. He was so happy that he was finally free from the hands of the Blake. "What happened to your face?" Despite knowing already, the cause of his grandson's face to suddenly be all blue. He still asked as he was curious whether the boy would answer him. "Grandpa, why did you suddenly want to see me?" Jacob was bothered by his grandfather suddenly wishing to see him. He fears, that what the old man has to say will be bad news to him. "What else, as you are now free? It is time for you to take over the family business." Jacob had already anticipated why his grandfather so desired to see him right away once he was finally free from the Blake. His grandfather had always hoped for him to take over the business; however, he didn't want to compete with his brother at all, giving his brother all the attention and rights to the company. However, since his brother was nowhere to be found, he knew that the rightful he
