CHAPTER 111“Wow this is lovely,” Alicia said to Jack as they were exploring and observing the landscape of Atlas Island, the location for their new company and robot factory.Their company was six in total. Jack, Alicia, Mildred, Borja, Eagle and the head architect of the company Jack had hired were also present.“It is more than lovely. This is splendid. I can already imagine everything in my mind,” Borjan replied as they flew over the Island in a chopper.Jack was now officially the owner of the Greyjoy Island as it would now be called. Jack had kept his word and paid the extra cost for the island to be renamed after the Greyjoys.“Wow, look at these beaches. The waters are so clear and crystal blue. Why did the greyjoys never develop this Island all these years? This is the ultimate vacation spot. You have to let me try something with some of the beaches,” Mildred chimed in.No“The Island is yours as much as it is mine. As long as it brings in more profit for the company. You have
CHAPTER 112***FLASHBACK***TWO WEEKS AGO“Yes. Exactly. This is my chance to finally get my revenge, so please do not ruin it,” Michelle said coldly.Micheal noticed the small smile that crossed his sister’s lip. It was a smile that he knew all too well. One that she always had on when something sinister and deadly was brewing in her mind.“Leave us,” Micheal ordered his men and they all dispersed swiftly, leaving him and his sister. “How do you intend to get your revenge? What is the plan?” He asked.Michelle walked over to the bar, took out a bottle of whiskey, poured out half a glass and took it down in a gulp, before pouring another one and handing it to her brother who reluctantly took it from her.“Sit,” She said curtly. “You have to remember Brother, it is not the island itself that is important to us but the secret treasure buried beneath it.”Micheal frowned. “I am no fool sister, I am aware of that but whoever owns the island automatically owns the treasure and that is why
CHAPTER 113“Look, Jack, you need to relax,” Lampton said calmly to Jack. “I promise you, we had nothing to do with this. They shouldn’t have the right to do that but if you said the government gave them permission, then you know very well that there is nothing we can do but there is something you should know about the Island.”“What is it?” Jack asked furiously, feeling cheated by the government and outsmarted by Micheal Carter. “There is a reason why my family fought tooth and nail with the government all those years ago to retain ownership of the island. It is not just because it is our ancestral land but it is said that the first voyage that left America to Europe returned home with treasure worth billions during that time in gold and buried it somewhere on the Island,” Lampton said.Jack raised a brow at him. “And you are just telling me this now? Something this important and you expect me to believe you are not in bed with the Carters?”Jack questioned him furiously. It was hard
CHAPTER 114“Where are we with the plans girl?” Bethany asked Alicia with a scowl on her face.Everything was going opposite to her plans. It was taking longer than she anticipated. She had buyers waiting for this new tech that could learn human behaviours in the body of a robot.With the coldness of a machine and the intelligence and thought capacity of a human, it would be the ultimate killing machine. That was how Alicia had marketed it and every top don in the crime world wanted a piece of it.“There were some hiccups with the island he bought to build the company . Jack is now more focused on that and there’s nothing I can do about it. We’ll just have to wait,” Alicia said in an almost cold voice, crossing her arms and greatly resisting the urge to roll her eyes.She was becoming fed up with Bethany’s consistent nagging. In truth, Jack had completely won her over with how well he treated and took care of her as if she was his girlfriend even when she wasn’t.Her fear was no longer
CHAPTER 115Jack returned back home that day from the commissioner’s office in anger. He stormed into his room with Mildred behind him trying to pacify him.“Calm down Bro. We’ll find a way to stop them. I promise,” Mildred said calmly.Jack went straight to the bar in his room, pouring himself a full glass of vodka and drinking it down in one go. He slammed the empty glass on the table.“I know…..but how?” He replied.“What if we start our own search for the treasure? We could get leads from the Greyjoys on where we could begin our search,” Mildred.Jack frowned. The Greyjoys have had the island for over three centuries and have been searching for the treasure and never found it. It was likely they had exhausted any leads they had and even Lampton Greyjoy seemed to believe the treasure didn’t exist.“They’re not going to be of much help. The old man doesn’t even believe the damn thing exists,” Jack replied.“But what if he is right, what if Micheal Smith is just on a fool’s errand?”“
CHAPTER 116Why would Alicia do a thing like that? It baffled Jack. Did she want to have some alone time and was getting choked up because of the guards he had following her around? But it was for her own safety and even if she had a problem with it, she could have discussed it with him, rather than having to disguise and leave.“Are you sure about this?” Jack asked again, still trying to fathom a reason why Alicia would wear a disguise to escape her guards.“I’m one hundred percent certain boss and I checked a backlog of CCTV footage from every time she had ever visited the restaurant and it was all the same thing. She would go to the restroom, disguise as a disabled woman with a shawl over her face and leave,” the guard added.Was there a pattern here? Jack wondered. Did Alicia have an ulterior motive? He never really bothered to check her background. He believed the story he was told. Jack wondered if he had allowed himself to be carried away by first, her wit and then by her body.
CHAPTER 117 Alicia was safely secured in a room under lock and key and guards were placed outside her door. The room was a comfortable one, full of luxury and exquisite taste in furniture and design but she felt very distraught and uncomfortable.She was in deep regret and anguish. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying and her cheeks were still flushed with tears.Even though none of this was entirely her fault as she was and has always been a pawn in Bethany’s evil game, she couldn’t help but blame herself. She had every chance to come clean, every chance to tell Jack the truth but she didn’t.Right now, she just wished for one chance, one chance to see Jack again before she is hauled off to russia. One chance to apologise for deceiving him and leading him on when she had other plans for him and the company he was building for them.She had fallen deeply in love with Jack over the past few months. Even before she got into Jack’s bed, she had secretly been harbouring feelings for
CHAPTER 118Jack and his men swung into full action the minute Jack gave the order. He did not know what to expect but one thing was sure, he was going to get the truth from Alicia one way or the other.As they got closer to the heavily guarded mansion in Belleview where they had traced the SUV to, Eagle backed out orders to the men.“Everyone be on high alert. Van 1, Van 2, take the flank and surround the four walls of the building. No one goes in and no one comes out and if they have to, it better be fucking through you,” He ordered.They were riding in a total of six armoured sprinter vans minus the armoured SUV that Jack and eagle were riding in. They had ten men in each of the vans. “Vans 3,4 and 5, we are going in together. Van 6, you stay as back up and call for more men if we need more. Everyone clear on their orders?” Eagle asked again through the walkie talkie, his eyes fixed on the road as he manoeuvred the car with one hand on the steering wheel.“Yes sir,” All six vehicle
