Thank you for reading.❤️
CHAPTER 153Jack's eyes widened as he stared at his bots, all in their packs and complete. But the fire? He couldn't understand anything that was going on, none of it made sense to him. “How?” He asked in a bewildered tone, turning his surprised gaze on his mother who had a smug look on her face.“Most importantly, who tried to destroy them?” Eagle asked with a deep frown on his face.“Not now. After we cut your cake,” Alice replied.The five of them were now sitting at a table, sharing Jack's cake and wine when Alice finally decided to speak.“It was your father's ex-girlfriend, Michelle Carter,” Alice stated coldly. She was well aware of the history between Michelle and her husband but it had never been a cause for alarm until now.“Those damn Carters,” Mildred cursed. “You'd think they've learnt their lesson after the last time.”“Apparently not,” Alicia said spitefully.Jack said nothing but he knew exactly what he had to do. Get rid of the Carters once and for all and all he need
CHAPTER 154Jack stepped inside his apartment, still feeling that strange presence behind him. He did not think much about it anymore, thinking he was just feeling nervous about the launch and was imagining things.He quickly stripped himself off his clothes and got into the shower to freshen up. Stepping out of the shower with only his towel still clad around his waist, his phone rang. It was a call from Eagle.“Boss, it's done,” Eagle said.“How many?” Jack asked.“All of them,” Eagle replied.“Call our financial Brokers. Tank it all and then blow up the buildings but make sure to evacuate the premises first. No loss of lives, got it?” “Affirmative Boss,” Eagle replied, ending the call.Jack did not share his parents sentiments on playing the long game to make Michelle pay for what she had done.After learning how Bethany was able to get Micheal to back out from the Island and leave it to him, Jack did his due research on every of their businesses and ways that he could bring them d
CHAPTER 155SMASH!In the Posh Mansion of Michelle Carter, an expensive porcelain vase hit a wall, shattering on impact.“Incompetent! All of you!” Michelle yelled at her staff. “You are all worthless!”She had sat down a few hours ago with her legs crossed in front of the television with a smug look on her face waiting for the news of Jack's company's launch being postponed but the opposite happened.She watched with a broken heart and a pained expression as the launch successfully took place. At first she thought Jack and his company were just being smart, trying to mitigate the damage she had caused them by going on with the launch without having a product to sell, but after the launch, she heard and saw how orders were flying in, left and right.In the four hours that the company had launched its humanoid AI assist, over ten million orders had come in and to make things worse and more believable to Michelle, people were already receiving their deliveries with videos of the bots ci
Chapter 156Jack did not know what to do. He had been given instructions to find the Escara Coven if he wanted to see Alicia alive again but whoever left him that message, forgot to leave a map for him to find them.If his new project was going to continue being a huge success, the brain behind it needed to be safe and sound but more than the success of his project, what disturbed Jack was her true welfare, he didn't want her hurt in any way.“Could this be Maria?” Bethany asked with a deep frown.She had just been released from the hospital, her wounds were healing fast but she was still weak and could not get involved in much.Despite her absence when Jack faced Maria and she vanished into thin air, Jack had informed her of what went down that day.“It could be her, it's the only thing that makes sense but how do I find them?” They could have at least left a cue,” Jack complained bitterly.“Once we get her back, all of you, including mom and dad, you're all going to a secure location
CHAPTER 157Jack rushed towards her grabbing her limp body before it hit the ground. For some reason, right after telling him that her life was linked to Alicia's, the strange lady took her own life.Focusing his powers on her drained life force, Jack's hand began to glow white and he placed it on her chest and in a few seconds, her wound sealed up and she took a long gasp of breath before her eyes opened.A creepy smile curved up her lips and Jack dropped her roughly to the ground.“Ouch! I thought you were a gentleman,” Camila said in a cloying tone.Jack frowned at her, a huge displeasure filling his chest. Everything in him wanted to end her but he knew he couldn't do that.“Once this is over, I'll kill you and every member of your sick coven. So tell me, what the heck do you want?”“It's not everyday you come across a real life necromancer and you've proven that you would do anything to keep your woman alive, so except you want us to kill her, chop her to pieces and bury her all o
CHAPTER 158Maria laughed heartily and the other witches joined her in a maniacal burst of laughter. They knew what they had done to Jack, they had stifled his powers but Jack was not aware of this yet. They knew that gave them the advantage over him and they wanted to humiliate him.“I will not ask nicely again. Kneel before me and show your respects,” Maria ordered but Jack remained unmoved.“Quit the fucking theatrics and tell me why you summoned me,” Jack asked, his eyes scanning the cave for any sign of Alicia but she wasn't in sight.It was another hostage situation just like with Bethany and despite his anger, once again, he decided to control it for the sake of his loved one.“You are in no place to tell us what to do necromancer,” One of the witches said coldly, stepping on the table and jumping towards Jack with incredible speed, sending a black surge of power at him.Jack raised his hands to summon his powers to defend himself but nothing happened, his hands didn't glow, his
CHAPTER 159“Fine, I'll do it. Let me out but first, you have to let her go free,” Jack said coldly.He didn't want Alicia to get caught in the cross fire in case things went bad. Despite his supposed submission, Jack was not planning to go down without a fight.“You are in no position to make demands Jack Bolton. Submit to me and then I will consider setting her free if it pleases me,” Maria replied.She knew Jack was not an easy nut to crack and she did not trust him not to try and pull a stunt if she let the only leverage she had over him go.“Fine. At least, have some fucking decency and cover her up,” Jack said.Maria scowled at him before snapping her fingers at Camila who came forth and with a wave of her hand, a white silk gown covered Alicia's body.Jack suddenly remembered something, Camila's life was linked to Alicia's and before now, Emilio had given him a brief history of Maria's family and he remembered that he had seen Camila in a picture and she was introduced as Maria'
CHAPTER 160Michelle was bitter and angry. So far their shares have tanked almost seventy percent. Their company was losing investors and the government was at their doorstep, slamming them with lawsuits after lawsuits and fines.She was losing this battle she was fighting against the Boltons too quickly and she knew she needed to do something about it.“Are you really just going to remain in hiding and let me handle this myself? Everything is going to shambles,” She said to her brother, Micheal.She had travelled to the faraway country where he was to meet him. She underestimated Jack Bolton and his family and overestimated her prowess but she was brutally dealt with.Micheal chuckled coldly. “You forced me to sign everything over to you when I got into trouble with the Boltons. Now they poke your eyes and you need my help?” Micheal was bitter. He did not expect his sister who had been his partner for the longest time to get greedy and decide to take everything from him. Back then, h
