CHAPTER 131Jack frowned upon hearing that name. Another bane of his existence. What could he even want, coming to his mansion this morning. Perhaps he had come to gloat and Jack had neither the time, energy or patience to indulge in such.“Tell him I do not want to see him and if he refuses to leave, throw him out,” Jack replied coldly. “No. Let him in. Let’s hear what he has to say,” Mildred, who had been quiet the whole time, suddenly interjected.Like Jack, she too had been taken back by the revelation of Jack’s motherhood. Even worse when she remembered that Jack had tortured, killed and resurrected his own mother unbeknownst to him. But right now, hearing that Micheal Carter was at their abode, she wanted to know what the arrogant man had to say. Perhaps it would be a good avenue to let out the frustration that they were all feeling.“I do not care what he has to say. I said throw him out. You know what? I’ll do it myself,” Jack said in an angry tone, storming out of the room
CHAPTER 132It had been three months since Micheal left the Island and its treasure to Jack and his company. Bringing in experts and following the trail that Micheal and his team had been on, Jack had found two of the ships who were still surprisingly in good conditions. The ships themselves were worth around three hundred billion each with the treasure found on them being worth triple that amount.The robot factory was almost completely done with just a few installations left to be completed. The office building itself was completed and Alicia had finished her AI. All that was needed was the beta attesting and then they could proceed to make more prototypes before the products fully hit the market.Jack and Alicia’s relationship was still strained. They were on good working and talking terms but Jack had closed his heart off to any feelings of affection towards her or any other woman. His major goal was now to take Bolton Tech, the new tech company to a higher stratosphere than anyo
CHAPTER 133Bethany was still recovering from the shock of the event that had happened. Jack Bolton was her son. The son she thought had died in the fire that the Mafia Don’s wife set in her house when she found out Bethany had given birth and the child had a possibility of being for her husband.Of course, Bethany herself confirmed this. She was able to nick a glass that thee don drank with in public and using his saliva and the baby’s hair, she did a DNA test confirming the mafia don was the father of her child but the laboratory attendant ratted her out to the don’s wife and she had to run again.When they finally found her, she wasn’t at home but it wasn’t her they came for, it was her little baby who was sleeping peacefully in his cottage while she quickly rushed to a nearby shop.When she returned, her house was on fire and when the fire service was finally able to put the fire out and allow her to enter, all that was left was the burnt corpse of her child which she held in her h
CHAPTER 134Bethany’s heart pounded in her chest and a genuine look of shock registered on her face. Sure she knew by now that Jack was alive but still it shocked her that it was who saved his life.“What did you just say?” She asked, pretending not to know the truth and wanting to hear more.“When I learnt that Maria had found out that you had a child for the don and that her goons were coming after you, I took a head start in hope that I would find you and warn you but when I got to the house, I could not find you, only the baby. I knew just saving the child would only mean they would keep coming for you so I bought another baby’s corpse from the morgue using the don’s influence and I switched them before I made away with him.“My plan was to stash him with my aunt for a few days and then when everything died down, I would come and get you and find a way to move you both overseas but by the time I got back, you were gone. I searched for you for months but I couldn’t find you. Eventua
CHAPTER 135The D-day for the will to be read came as Gustavo said. The lawyers were present as were all the members of the Alberto Mafia Clan. Maria Alberto, wife to the late don Alphonso was sitting cross legged in a pristine white jumpsuit and a pink jacket in all her glory. By right, all the don had should go to her since he had no heir or at least that is what she thought.It had been her lifelong dream to become the mafia mistress of the Alberto mafia family ever since she became the don’s wife. She had her own womb tampered with so she would not conceive and the mantle won’t fall to any of her children but her. Over the years, she had killed any woman and child who dared to give birth for and be born for the don.All of her men and supporters were behind her. She had the most support for even as she was slowly poisoning the don over the years leading to his eventual demise, she was slowly rallying the support of his closest allies and associates except for one man.The name of t
CHAPTER 136The reading of the will finished and no one knew what to do or say. Jack’s location and his government name was not revealed so as to protect him but everyone knew that sooner or later, his identity would be revealed and they would meet him.Gustavo had his instructions and he was going to carry it out without falter. It was he who invited Bethany to the hearing himself. He wanted her to see that the don meant what he said and he also handed her a handwritten apology written to Jack explaining what happened with his mother but it was more of an apology to the mother than the son and that was why he gave it to her.“Jack is not going to agree to any of this. I know him. He is as stubborn as a cock and he is no ordinary man. You will be wasting your time but I have to admit that the look of despair on the witch’s face is worth it. I want to have my revenge Gustavo but you cannot drag my son into this,” Bethany whispered to Gustavo where they both sat in a corner.“Your son is
CHAPTER 137“So let me get this straight, my birth dad is some mafia lord and now I’m supposed to what?” Jack asked Bethany before breaking out into a hilarious laugh. The concept of going to take over some mafia clan was hilarious to Jack and he could not hold himself. Bethany had just relayed all that had happened back in columbia to Jack and a brief history on how his birth and escape at a child happened.“What do you find funny? This is serious Jack,” Bethany scolded. “What do you want me to say? That I’m going to leave my life behind just because you couldn’t resist going back there?” Jack fired back.“You’re not listening to me. They are coming for you. They will not stop until everyone you love and care about is dead,” Bethany replied in a serious and pleading tone.“Let them come. We will be ready but I am no son of Alphonso Alberto. I am Jack Bolton, son of Aaron Bolton,” Jack replied firmly. Bethnay took a deep sigh of exasperation. Maria and Rodriguez were nothing like Jac
CHAPTER 138While Bethany was able to escape Dante’s clutches and flee back to America, Gustavo on the other hand wasn’t so lucky as he was captured and being severely tortured.“Do not be such a stubborn old man. Tell me what I want to know and I may spare your life,” Dante growled, driving a balled fist deep into Gustavo’s gut.Gustavo chuckled wryly, spitting out the blood that had pooled in his mouth. “Don’t flatter yourself boy. We both know you’re just a fucking lap dog.”Dante frowned. Even though he was just another cog in Rodriguez’s machinery, he did not like to be reminded of the fact. “Lap dog or not, I’m not the dog who’s going to be begging for his life.”He drew out a small dagger and began to carve the Rafael family insignia on Gustavo’s face, making Gustavo cry out in pain from the chair where he was bound naked. It was the highest form of insult that could be given to any member of the mafia. To have another family’s insignia carved on any part of your skin, talk less
