CHAPTER 142Jack had just come out of a meeting with some shareholders. The launch of Bolton tech was where his focus was in full effect and he was explaining the vision of this project to his shareholders, making sure they all understood its importance, so all hands could be on deck to make the project a huge success.His phone suddenly rang and he took the call, frowning immediately he heard Alicia's voice on the phone, relaying information of earlier events to him.“Where are you now?” Jack asked, feeling anger bubble in his gut. He didn't want to have to deal with any of this, not with his big project a few days away from launch.“Trying to find my way back home. Everyone is dead. The cops are here and Eagle is on his way. Jack, she said you have to go home and do what she said or things will get worse,” Alicia's trembling voice came from the other end of the phone.“Get yourself home. I'll be there shortly,” Jack replied, ending the call.He stared at his phone with a mean express
CHAPTER 143Jack arrived in Columbia and drove straight to the designated location the man in the video, Rodriguez had sent to Alicia after they responded that Jack was on his way. Jack did not know what to expect, so he came prepared, using Alicia to get some of Bethany's mercenary customers who she sold weapons to, to join him.But despite his anger and desire to make Rodriguez pay for what he did to Bethany, saving her life was his first priority and since Rodriguez had asked him to come alone to the location, Jack did exactly as he said.Pulling up in his black range Rover, Jack stepped out of the car as he got to what looked like an abandoned school compound.The decapitated classroom buildings and moss growing on them gave that much away.As soon as he stepped out of the car, six tall, bulky and heavily armed men stepped towards him.“Hands up,” One of them said coldly, stepping up to Jack and he did as requested with a vain smirk on his lips. “Which one of you is the boss?” Ja
CHAPTER 144While all of this was going on, a sinister plot was taking shape against Jack and his new company, Bolton Tech and the orchestrator of this plot was none other than Michelle Carter.After her brother's run in with Bethany, Michelle agreed to let the treasure and the island go, as long as Micheal Carter agreed to give her autonomous control over all of their family's businesses.Micheal had no choice but to agree. If it wasn't for his illegal dealings, they would never have lost treasure and island in the first place and their family legacy would not be hanging in the balance.Even though Bethany had destroyed the video evidence as promised and sent proof to Micheal, he still did not trust it completely.He handed over everything to Michelle and went into hiding temporarily, so just in case anything went wrong afterwards, Michelle alone would bear the brunt since she was now in complete control.Michelle may have given up her chase on the treasure but one thing she kept on p
CHAPTER 145The two spent the next couple of hours talking about different things that had happened with them over the years. Michelle was careful not to give out her true intentions or ask anything to raise suspicion in Aaron.She skirted around topics regarding his family and his business but asked questions that would ultimately lead Aaron to talk about it.She made Aaron very comfortable with her and like any proud father, he soon started to boast of how proud his children were making him, especially his son, Jack.“Jack? You mean ‘the Jack Bolton' is your son? As in he is your Bolton, same Bolton? No way….” Michelle said in a surprised and excited tone.This was what she had been waiting for, it was her way in. She knew Aaron would have every information about the new project and all she needed was one vital piece of information that she could use to bring it down.“Wait. You know him?” Aaron asked. While he wasn't surprised because Jack had gained a lot of fame with the differen
CHAPTER 146Back in Columbia, Maria's Tech guy, Adrian, hurriedly made his way to the location where Rodriguez was keeping Jack.“Hey! Can you do the same thing you did with Lucia? Give me more on him with his picture. Quickly,” Rodriguez ordered.His eagerness to know just who Don Alberto's son was grew by leaps and bounds every second. He was so intimidated by Jack's ordinary presence that he could not even lay a finger on Jack to torture him.“Okay sir, I'll get on it right away,” Adrian answered in a trembling voice, taking Jack's picture with trembling hands and uploading it with his laptop to begin his search for information.“You should consider my offer now that I am still being nice,” Jack said coldly to Rodriguez. “I can be very……what's the word? Cruel.”Jack was slowly getting impatient, the only reason he was acting humble and quiet was because he had not yet laid his eyes on Bethany and he did not want to put her in any form of danger and he was also buying time to execute
CHAPTER 147Rodriguez's man who had gone out to bring in Bethany stared wide eyed at the scene before him when he came back inside with Bethany.His Boss was held down by four of his colleagues, stripped completely naked while one of them was brutally ravaging him.He couldn't make any sense of what his eyes were seeing but it didn't look right. Why was the prisoner free with his arms and legs crossed on the same chair he was bound to earlier, watching with a vicious coldness in his eyes as Rodriguez yelled in pure agony and pain.“What the hell!” He yelled, reaching for his gun when Bethany, whose wrists were still locked in cuffs, elbowed his balls, forcing him to yell in pain and dropping his guns.She quickly bent and picked up his gun and without thinking twice, she unloaded two bullets into his skull.Jack grimaced at the gunshot and Rodriguez's men who were under punishment, fucking their boss to save their lives also paused.“I didn't say you could stop! I want to hear him scr
CHAPTER 148“Are you sure about this?” Maria asked concernedly as Adrian recounted all his eyes had seen to her. “I cannot lie to you. As we speak, Don Rodriguez should be dead. It is only a matter of time before the news gets to us. Whoever this Alejandro guy is, he is very powerful,” Adrian replied frantically. Maria scoffed. “How powerful can he be?” The tale that Adrian told her did not scare her at all. Sure, she did not believe it all but Maria was not someone who knew nothing of mystical powers. Infact, she knew about it all too well.Her family came from a line of ancient and very powerful witches and warlocks and Maria wasn't just any member of that family, she was the head of their coven.Hearing that Jack mystically broke through reinforced steel chains or bullets ricocheting off him sounded like child's play to her, when there was so much more that her powers could do.It was with her powers that she was able to tell whenever Don Alberto had slept with or impregnated ano
CHAPTER 149All five heads of the five major families of the Alberto Mafia Clan were present in the Alberto family mansion.The Alberto family represented by Maria, the Rafael family, represented by Dominguez, Rodriguez's first son, the Chavez family, Gustavo's family, represented by Emilio, Gustavo's younger brother, the Fernandez family represented by Alonso Fernandez, their leader and the Agulilar family by Leonardo Agulilar, their leader.The tension in the room was high, off the roofs even, with everyone suspecting of each other and the same time, agitated.“What are you looking at?” Emilio Chavez, Gustavo's younger brother suddenly yelled at Dominguez for merely taking a slight peek at him.Emilio was still in mourning, his entire family was. Dante's story was not something they were ever going to buy and it was only out of respect for Don Alberto's memory that they had not started an all out war between them and the Rafael's.“I share your grief Emilio but you will not disrespec
