Thank you for reading.❤️
CHAPTER 166“What was that about?” Jack asked Alicia as they stepped into the tour car that was going to take them around the city, giving them a tour of the city.Jack had contacted the best tour company and requested for their best tour guide, even paying double what they asked for to make sure that the guy did a good job. He wanted this trip to be a very memorable one for Alicia. It was all about her, he just wanted her to be comfortable and happy as that filled his heart with the most joy.“Don't mind that loser, he's just jealous,” Alicia said with a smile. “I think he likes me and he's been trying to show off with his money but I turned him down, telling him I already had someone. I guess when he saw you, he couldn't help himself.”Jack shrugged, feeling completely unaffected by Laurent's behaviour earlier.“Well that's too bad for him, I was hoping we could talk over drinks sometimes as two business men when you introduced him.”Alicia chuckled and slapped his chest lighty. “Yo
CHAPTER 167Jack quietly followed the men and found himself in a private bar inside the hotel and sure enough, it was Laurent Jean waiting for him.Laurent was dressed in usual three piece suit, smoking a cuban cigar, with an expensive bottle of whiskey and a half full glass in front of him while Jack who was just taking a casual evening stroll was wearing just a pair of joggers and a sleeveless shirt.When Laurent saw Jack and his men approaching, he was very confident his offer was going to sway Jack but he didn't want to be hostile and decided to play nice.“Please have a seat Jack,” Laurent said, pointing at the seat opposite him. Their eyes met and for a moment, Laurent almost had a change of heart. There was something about Jack's eyes that put him off but he quickly pushed the thought away.Jack smirked as he took the seat. “To what do I owe the pleasure?” Jack said in a smug tone. He was certain that whatever Laurent wanted to see him for had something to do with Alicia and be
CHAPTER 168Arggh!Laurent's head wanted to burst in frustration. Was Jack being serious or was he just being greedy? Did he really have such a hold over Alicia as to ask her be his mistress and she would agree?Most importantly, he had already given this asshole one hundred million dollars to be with his woman, is it not better if he approached the woman himself and offer her more and try his luck again.He decided to try his luck. He would pretend to let Jack go but he would ask his men to follow him discreetly and whenever Jack and Alicia were out in the city, they would kidnap Jack and hold him until he had his way with Alicia.Yes. That was what he was going to do. There was no way he would give this loser more than that hundred million dollars.“Take it or leave it,” Laurent replied glaring at Jack. “I don't think she's even worth this amount. You'll be making a big mistake if you reject this money.”Jack frowned before a wry smile crossed his lips. This thing with Laurent was j
CHAPTER 169“You're going to have to make me,” Jack replied coldly. “You're really sloppy if you call what you were doing tailing me, I spotted you about three hours ago.”“Shut it and come with us peacefully. We were asked to take you alive but not in one piece so don't fucking push it,” One of the me replied harshly.“I choose the second option, see if you can take me in pieces,” Jack replied curtly.Three of them rushed towards Jack simultaneously with the intention to beat him to a pulp before they hauled him away.Pow! Pow! Pow!One strike each to three of them was all it took to send them to the ground paralyzed. Ah! They were all stunned. What kind of a man was Jack? How could he hit so hard and so precise? It didn't feel like it was a fist that connected with them but a sledge hammer made of pure steel.Jack picked one of the men up and smacked him hard across the face. “Who sent you?” He asked in his otherworldly voice, forcing the man to yield to his command.He already had
CHAPTER 170Laurent was curious as he made his way to the so-called emergency meeting that his shareholders had called.Emergency meeting were only called when serious fucking shit was going on and no matter how hard he tried to think of it, he couldn't figure out anything that was actually going on.When he got go the hotel, he was surprised to see a motorcade of specially design Rolls Royce's parked in the car park. It wasn't unsual for such cars to be in the hotel car park butt it was only when an important dignitary was visiting and if that was happening, be would be informed.“What's with all the cars at the car park? Did we receive an prominent figure as guest?” He asked the receptionist when he got go the front desk.“Not at all sir, those are guests of Mr. Jack,” the receptionist answered politely.“What Jack?” Laurent asked frowning. He didn't want to believe it was the same Jack that came to his mind.“Jack Bolton sir. The one who lives in the palace with his woman.”Laurent
CHAPTER 171Laurent ran out of the Palace suite cursing himself. He should never have gone there in the first place. Now he needed a change of clothes and to make things worse, his own staff saw how he ran out with his pants soiled and smelling of his own urine.He quickly sent one of his staff members to get him a change of clothes from the hotel boutique. It was after he changed his cloth that he recalled what Eagle had said, that Alicia was his boss' woman.Does that mean Jack is that intimidating Man's boss? The truth was staring Laurent right in the face but he refused to see it. He was determined to keep his perception of Jack to his own detriment.“You're late,” One of the shareholders said coldly when Laurent walked into the meeting a few minutes later.That shareholder was Martin Dubious. The second largest shareholder after Laurent. When Laurent's father handed over the leadership of the hotel to Laurent before he passed, the Dubious family protested but there was nothing th
CHAPTER 172 Laurent called in his lawyers and accountants they moved to a bigger conference room before their guests arrived. The more he mulled over what he stood to make from the sale of the hotel, the more his smile grew. The price of not having the Blue Diamond Hotel linked to his name anymore suddenly became a very small price to pay.The door opened and five people stepped in but when Laurel saw them, he froze. He wanted to hide his head in shame. Infact, he wished the ground would just open up and swallow him.These were the same men who he had peed his pants in front of earlier this morning. Though not all of them were present, especially the one who hung him up against the wall, he could recognize the five men that entered.They also did not pretend not to know him. In fact, they snickered and murmured at him as they laid eyes upon him one after the other.These men were Alicia's guests. So she wasn't just rich and successful, she must also be very influential to know men l
Eagle slammed Laurent back into one of the empty seats as Jack walked straight to the head of the table, asserting his dominance.Eagle stood right behind Laurent who didn't dare to stand up. He knew better than to piss off the intimidating man behind him.Laurent's eyes fell on Jack who was sitting at the head of the table and even the other shareholders were wondering who the ma was.His aura was so confident and dominant even he was just wearing a casual jean and shirt compared to the expensive suits that they all wore. Laurent couldn't believe what his eyes saw, the men who had come in before all stood and bowed the moment Jack took this seat and it wasn't until Jack waved his hand that they sat back down.He felt a tremor in his spine. Was Jack really their boss? He was just a gigolo right? Why were they showing him so much respect, is it because of Alicia?He let this thoughts stay in his mind and didn't voice them. He peed his pants last time when Eagle had him strung up again
