Jack shut the door behind him as he entered the room where Lucas was. Lucas' eyes immediately snapped to the door when it opened.He didn't recognize the man who was glaring at him. Where were all his men? How did he get past them? How did he get here? Who was he?Lucas was not a man that was scared of another man, no matter who that man was or what power he controlled but there was something about the man standing at the door that made him feel a sense of fear he could not explain.“Are you Lucas?” Jack's tone dripped with spite and venom.“Who's fucking asking?” Lucas mustered enough courage to ask in a cocky and fearless tone.“Wrong answer?” Jack spat out in fury. He flung his hand with force and despite the distance between him and Lucas, an invisible hand slapped Lucas across the face, sending him crashing into the wall.Killing Lucas in anger and vengeance was an easy thing to do but Jack wanted him to feel pain. Like Mildred must have felt pain as her bones broke and her skin s
Micheal Carter froze when he heard Jack's voice. He recognized that voice all too well. If Jack has gotten to Micheal, that meant he was in trouble and he needed to get away as fast as possible.Lucas never knew anything about Trent, the reason why Micheal wanted Mildred dead was never revealed to him, so Micheal knew that secret was safe from Jack and most of their plans would still go on as usual as long as Trent was never found out.He decided right then and there to go into deep hiding again and continue to work from behind the scene.Dashing out of his home office, he went straight to his sister and partner in crime, Michelle.“We have a problem,” Micheal said in a exasperated tone, the dismay of losing all the progress they had made against Jack in the last few months was clear in his eyes.Michelle raised a brow at him. “What is it?”“It's Jack. He found out I'm behind his sister's attempted murder and he's coming for me as we speak,” Micheal answered in a weak tone, disappoint
On the day that Mildred was telling Bethany what really happened and how and why she suspected Scott was up to something and probably behind her kidnap and attempted murder that she lied was just a random robbery, Alicia had overhead them.When she came into the house that day, she had overhead the two women speaking in hushed tones as she approached Bethany's room, so she decided to make hot chocolate for three of them to just get into girls chatter and talk about different things but when she got back, she could hear the conversation clearly and knew Mildred was trying to keep it a secret from everyone so she eavesdropped and got out of sight.She had been having her own mild suspicions about Scott lately and Mildred's confession only made it heighten.She started to pay more attention to how touchy Scott had become towards her, the words he would say, the way he would praise her, his mannerisms and gestures towards her.Compared to the way he was in the past, it was very different.
Micheal knew he was done for as soon as he heard Jack’s voice. Jack sounded ruthless, angry and primal on the phone. Micheal’s heart pounded with fear and trepidation.He tried to free himself from the chair but he couldn’t, he tried to speak again but he could not hear himself. Was this going to be his end? His great plan of taking revenge on Jack was going to end here?No way!The door opened after a few minutes and none other than Jack Bolton stepped in, in all his glory. Jack looked like a man on a mission, with his face sturdy and his eyes sharp but the pain was evident in them and so was his anger.“Why?” Jack’s singular question to Micheal carried a lot of weight and conveyed his emotions. “If you’re going to kill me, then kill me Jack, there’s no need asking me such an irrelevant question,” Micheal replied and he could finally hear himself.He knew that his fate was sealed and was determined to show no further signs of weakness. The deed has been done and he just had to put it
Once Trent heard that the software code he copied from Bolton Tech was a Trojan used to infiltrate and take over the entire Carter group, he went into a state of panic, realising he had been deceived and used by Alicia.His real identity and the fact that they murdered and replaced the real Scott with him may still remain a hidden fact and even Jack somehow forgave Scott for going against him, stealing info from one company to another was still a jailable offence, so he needed to get away.He tried to reach Micheal and Michelle to explain the situation but Micheal did not take his calls while Michelle cussed him out, fuming and asking him not to ever contact her again.He was sitting in a public bar in a corner along the expressway, thinking of his next move. If the plan he had with the Carters had encountered jeopardy, all he needed to do was restrategize. As long as he had breath in his longs, Jack would know no peace.His focus shifted from the drink in front of him to the televisio
Three months had passed since the incident with the Carters and Trent. Michelle was sentenced to one hundred years in prison for her many crimes, financial and otherwise and the first ten years of her sentence was to be spent in solitary confinement. Micheal was still helpless to the spell Camila had placed on him, grazing on an open field and living like a cow, all the while being aware that he was human but there was nothing he could do to stop himself from his way of life. Trent, well, he barely survived an hour in the gas chamber where even his bones and hair melted into nothing.Jack was standing at the balcony of his mansion, looking down on his family that gathered, having a small party to celebrate the successful launch of their new product, HelpTreat AI.Being in control of most of the Carter group data and information online, after the scandal that hit them, Jack was able to legally buy it for peanuts and added it to the Bolton Empire, making them the richest family in the co
“What?” Jack’s eyes rounded as warmth and Joy filled his heart. “I’m going to be a father?” He couldn’t believe his ears. Was any of this real? Proposing to the woman he loved felt great to him but the joy of knowing that he was soon going to be a father easily truncated the feeling.Jack was ecstatic. He closed Alicia in a tight hug and twirled her around, making her smile and giggle.“Congratulations guys,” Mildred congratulated the couple with a warm smile.“I can’t believe I’m going to be a grandfather,” Aaron said, hugging Alicia.“Well I can believe it,” Alice said, “Grandma Alice has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?”“Ah, yes. So does grandma Bethany,” Bethany added and everyone burst out laughing.“Congratulations Boss, the little fucker is going to be an handsome one,” Eagle added and Mildred frowned.“And who told the big fucker it’s going to be a man? She’s going to be beautiful, just like her mother, aunt and grandmas,” Mildred replied, twirling her hair.Eagle smirked
CHAPTER 1A hot slap sounded across the dining hall of the Kent family mansion as it landed on the face of Jack Bolton.Charlotte Kent, his mother in law, just slapped him out of anger, much to Jack’s embarrassment.“How can you be so useless! We all agreed to donate ten million each to give dad his birthday present and you’re saying that you only have three hundred thousand? Ah! Three hundred thousand. I swear you are a disgrace to the Kent family.”The gift was the legendary eye patch of Odin. It was only recently that it came to light that it had been found and the asking price was one hundred million dollars.Old master Kent, the grandpa of the Kent family, was a big fan of Norse mythology and he would love nothing more than to have such a sentimental gift. He had three sons, five grandsons and two sons in law and they had all agreed to contribute ten million each to buy him the eye patch before someone else did, but the poorest and most useless son in law of the family, Jack Bol
