When Jake reached the back of the truck, he began to drag out the crates of canned food stacked there. Ilya joined him while the others remained on standby with their weapons drawn in case of any unpleasant surprise.
“Victoria, are you in there?” He asked desperately, hoping that he hadn’t imagined his daughter’s voice a few seconds ago. “Victoria?”
“I’m here,” she answered.
Jake had to pause for a few seconds to catch his breath. His daughter was still alive!
With renewed energy, he began to rip through the crates like a possessed man. This time, Shadow joined him and Ilya.
His heart nearly stopped beating when he saw his daughter tied to a crate like a helpless animal. She was still wearing her pink unicorn pyjamas which were now soiled. Her face was dirty and her hair was a tangled mess.
“Victoria!” He sighed and crawled into the truck to untie her. She began to cry and imm

“Be honest with me, Boris. What do you want to use this company for? Money laundering?”The Russian Don laughed. “What do you think?”“I don’t want to be a part of that. Send Irina here to continue with the registration and filing of the required documents. I don’t want Turner Group to be associated with any kind of illegal business.”“Stop talking like a saint. You and I know that you’re not.”“I never said I was. I’m just saying that I prefer to keep my business clean. You wanted your paper factory to be a subsidiary of my business but that’s not going to happen if you intend to use it for shady business.”“Listen, we had a deal.

However, Victoria’s version was the same colour and fabric but with cap sleeves and without the slit.Jake and James wore bespoke formal suits that were tailored to perfection. They looked like fraternal twins born several decades apart.Their guests arrived promptly and began to climb unto the ship. Each of them felt extra special to be invited to such an exclusive party.On Meg’s insistence, Jake had permitted a handful of press people to attend the event but they were forbidden from taking pictures or filming a video.

“What do you know about Sandra Barnes?” Jake asked Dono the next day after the party.“The name doesn’t ring a bell. Who is she?”“Some weirdo who found her way onto the ship and some noise about writing an expose editorial piece about me on The Daily Cable.”“And you’re bothered?”“Not exactly, but there was something about her confidence that tells me she has some solid backing to come after me like that.”“That’s how journalists roll. They’re all bark and no bite. She just wanted to rattle you and see what she can get out of you. I wouldn’t sweat it if I were you.”“Still… I want to know who she is and what her deal is.”“Fine. I’ll look her up and get back to you.”“Thanks.”He hung up and leaned back in his home office chair. He felt restless because his real

I warned you but you wouldn’t listen. I don’t mess with the FBI.”“Come on, Jake. Name your price and I’ll pay it. I need Ivan out of that cell.”“I’m sorry, I can’t help you with that.”“Imagine if I’d said the same thing when you needed my protection from that Italian criminal. Or when your daughter was kidnapped and you needed a team of assassins to extract her from your enemy’s domain.”Jake was silent. Boris was right.

When Jake and Darius showed up at his quiet place, his hand had instinctively flown to his pistol which he kept hidden in the waistband of his pants.He disliked Jake at first sight because the billionaire seemed like a cocky prick and talked like one. Jason wondered if he could empty a few rounds into this intruder and his companion, and get away with it.“Don’t bother,” Jake said calmly as if reading his mind. &ldquo
