Jacon continues to ponder whether the words coming from Venus's mouth were for real. She was the person she never would expect to come forwards with everything. As he listened to her story more, he became more speechless, and dumbfounded by the situation. He thought hard about it, but he couldn't find a good solution yet for their problem. If the two of them suddenly disappeared, he was sure Joe Black would hunt them down. When he meant Joe Black, the real Joe Black. "Do you know where he is?" "Who knows where the b*stard is? We haven't seen each other since the day he went missing." Venus explained finding it odd as well that the man vanished out of thin air then, the b*stard son became Joe Black. She and others who are aware of the man's identity have always wondered what happened to the real Joe Black. "Did he die?" Jacob asked despite he doubt the man is dead as he seems to be a living ghost just like him. "Please, you think a man like him would just die easily. I know he

The conversation between the two ended so late that Margaret ended up preparing for the four of them. Venus happily helped around as she had finally let the load she was holding for years go. She didn't expect Margaret to show the same adoration towards her and was in tears whilst they were working in the kitchen together. "Are you not angry?" Venus inquire whilst she was preparing the salad. "You made your choice to survive. I am lucky to have you so I don't have to make such choices as well." Margaret explained as her tears continue to roll down her face. "Don't worry, Z is a man of his words." "I know, I just worry that I'll be putting him in danger for my selfish desire." Venus replied as she finished the salad and went to prepare the rest of the meal. "Don't think like that." Margaret hugged Venus from behind before she made her way. "What happened in the past happened because of your situation. But, it does not define who you are. I know you as my friend, and I'll always t

After the meal with the ladies, Jacob made his way and headed straight back to his hotel. Inside his car, he made the call to have everyone on standby as he didn’t know what will happen once, he is gone. Who knows if Joe Black’s men are watching them or not. It was best they are prepared for the worst. He grabs his phone and made a call to Red. “What? Venus gave in? Seriously?” Red on the other side couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He didn’t expect that it would be Venus who would eventually give in and reveal everything to the man. What he wanted to know, was what was going in the woman’s head when she was telling the man everything. She must have felt exhausted from the drama in her life. A life in a dark is always not a happy life. You may have all the riches but you can never fill the loneliness in your heart. “Well, I don’t know what she is planning. But we will keep our eyes open. Make some preparation. If Venus is indeed telling the truth and she wants to disappear then

Jacob on the other hand have finished his call as well. He looked at Red who was busy making all sorts of phone call. He thought back on his call earlier. “Really, you’ll be coming home soon?” “Hmm, I hope to hear some good news.” “Ha-ha, please, I’ll soon be receiving a reward.” “Good.” Jacob who was in deep thought didn’t notice that Red was calling for him. Red ended up getting up from his seat and called for the man’s attention. “Hey, is everything alright?” Red inquired seeing the man seems to be absent minded. “I just called her; she should be preparing everything.” “Hmm, good.” Jacob replied as he quickly grabs his coat and prepare to head out. “Where are you going so late?” Red inquired as he didn’t know what was going on. He thought they’ll be working all night to prepare everything. He even called Joker to hurried home as they have things to prepare. “I’ll be back, make sure to make all the necessary preparation at once.” Jacob said without letting Red know where he’

The next day, Jacob woke up in the room that the councilor prepared for him. The woman who was paid has already left. One would think that the two had done some fun. As he prepared to leave, he was shocked to hear the knock on the door. “Who is it?” Jacob inquired wondering who is knocking on his door so early in the morning. “You b*stard.” Jacob could only sigh in disbelieve that the man came all the way here to check on him. Before he could even finish buttoning his shirt, he went ahead to open the door. “What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be back at the hotel helping Red.” “I did, but I heard you came out without telling Red a thing. So, I asked the people on guard to where you are. And here you are…” Joker was ranting like some lover who just caught his lover cheating on him. The way he speaks as if he was broken and angry by everything. “Stop, are you…” Jacob didn’t finish what he had to say but by the way he looked made Joker to the point of puking. “Please, I’m not gay
The Shadow Man THREE DAYS: PART IV
Venus was making all the necessary preparing when she received an unexpected guest in her home. “Joe, what are you doing here?” Venus looked dumbfoundedly at the man wondering what he was doing at his place so late at night. “I heard you’ll be throwing a grand party again, I wonder why?” Joe Black became curious as he found out Venus have invited so many people especially those in the organization. What’s even more surprising is she insisted that they should come. “Well, if I tell you. You promise you won’t tell a soul.” Venus acted all giddy like a child as she excitedly told the man. “Go on.” Joe Black said as he was not interested at all what the woman really has to say. As he felt that woman is hiding something behind his back. Despite his men reported nothing out of the ordinary has been happening at all. The woman has been doing nothing but preparing for this grand event. “Have you not noticed something different about me?” Venus continues to play around with the man as she
