Thank you for reading.❤️
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
CHAPTER 161A Bentley truck rolled up to the city's hospital morgue and two people stepped out of the bank of the Bentley. It was Micheal Carter and his sister Michelle.They visited the morgue at the unholy hour of 3 AM. Micheal was about to reveal the first phase of his vicious master plan to his sister.The single guard who accompanied them pushed the door open and they entered the morgue, welcomed by the morgue's attendant.“Welcome Sir, Ma,” The man bowed and greeted his guests. He was about to become a multi millionaire overnight with what he was about to do for them.“Has it arrived yet?” Micheal asked in a curt tone. His voice domineering and cold and the need for vengeance against Jack Bolton shining brightly in his eyes.“Not yet Boss, they ran into a bit of hiccup along the way but they will be here soon. I apologise,” The man humbly replied.Michelle frowned observing the place, thinking what kind of plan her brother had that involved a dead body?Micheal had refused to tel
CHAPTER 162“So that will be all for today guys, let's all get to work and make Bolton Tech proud. Remember, we will not stop until every individual in every home in the world has our AI assistant personalised to them, even the unborn babies,” Scott Lennon said as he dismissed his team after a long day at work.Scott Lennon was the general manager of Bolton Tech. He has been working with Jack for a while and Jack trusted him fo handle the corporate side of the business effectively and he was.Infact he was doing such a superb job leading the company and driving insane sales number in. Even though, Alicia was the CEO, Scott was the engine that ran the Bolton Tech Machine.This gave Alicia the needed time to continually improve the product, focusing her power and attention on the tech side of the business while Scott, as general manager, handled the day to day running of the business, allowing things to run smoothly.Jack trusted him wholly and Scott was a vital member of Jack's inner c
It was at an ungodly hour that Jack woke Alicia up from sleep. When he knocked, there was no response and he knew she was asleep. He slowly pushed the door open.He looked at the goddess on the bed and he smiled. She was a goddess in the body of a diva. Jack really admired Alicia's beauty.He slowly tapped her shoulders. “Hey…..” Alicia stirred awake, wiping her drowsy eyes with the back of her hands. Jack kissed her lips. “Come with me.”He slowly pulled her up and helped her down from the bed. “Where are we going?” Alicia asked.“Remember that time I promised you that after all this madness it'll be just me and you, for a while. Away from all the troubles and maybe we can make something work between us.”Alicia cupped Jack's face as her cheeks turned beet red. She stared into his eyes with passion as her heart raced with joy.“It is already working baby,” She locked lips with him before she pulled away and Jack carried her outside bridal style.He was finally accepting it. That de
