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.

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.

    CHAPTER 2Smack!Bruce Kent slapped Jack hard across the face after Jack said those words. Jack flexed his cheek and hardened his face. He thought that although Bruce was a grown man, he slapped like a little girl.“How dare you insult us? You this ungrateful human, what do you even know about making money? If I want your little trash business to disappear this minute, I can do it with a snap of my fingers!” Bruce Kent raised his voice and scolded Jack.That was the second time in a few minutes that both his in-laws had slapped him. Jack wanted to lash out at them but then he saw the pleading look on his wife’s face and it quenched his anger.“I didn't mean to offend you, but it’s just that no matter what I do or how hard I try, you people will never accept me as a member of this family. Even when I bring business ideas to you so you can invest and help me make good money like you people, you turn me down and then you ridicule my hard work as if I’m not trying my best.”Jack was fed u

Is there any problem?” Jack asked, propping his head outside the window a bit and smiling at the officer.“License, registration and ID please,” The officer replied coldly.Jack retrieved the said documents and handed them to him. He drummed with his fingers on the steering wheel as he watched the officer glance through them.Suddenly the officer stepped back and pulled his gun out. “Kindly step out of the car sir, slowly.”“Why, Is something wrong officer?” Bianca asked from the back of the car where she was sitting.The cop ignored her and fixed his gaze on Jack who was already coming out of the car. Jack thought he had nothing to fear. He wasn’t doing anything illegal and he had no criminal involvements.“Turn around slowly and pu

Jack's eyes almost popped out of his socket when he saw the bag full of cocaine that had just been brought out of his boot.His heart sprinted as realization hit him. He had been set up. He had never seen that bag in his life before.“This bag is not mine! I have never seen this bag in my life before, Someone is trying to set me up! That bag doesn’t belong to me!” Jack cried out bitterly, screaming at the top of his voice.“Shut up, you bloody drug dealer!” The second cop spat out hot at Jack.“How could you Jack, how could you bring such disgrace to me and my family?” Bianca asked in a harsh tone. Her eyes narrowed at him and her expression hardened.“Believe me Bianca,” Jack replied, almost in tears. “These drugs are not mine, someone is trying to set me up.”“Shut up Jack! Just shut up! They found drugs in your pocket and a bag full of it in your bag and you dare to lie to me?” Bianca blew hot,

    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

    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

    Unlike Lucas and his men's usual behaviour, they were not having fun as was their usual routine with a lot of booze, smoke and women.Lucas was weary. He knew he had flouted Bethany's warning and a repercussion was sure to follow.It was why today, every floor in his house was occupied with men. He invited as many of them as he could lay his hands on and made sure they were all heavily armed as a protection against Bethany.He was ready to take over Bethany's throne and that could only be done with some hostility. He had made his first move, an act of defiance and now he was waiting for Bethany's move.He knew this was not a battle that strategy alone could give you victory on, brute strength and a show of power was also necessary.There were four floors in total in Lucas’ mansion and each floor had at least a hundred men all armed to the teeth ready to defend with Lucas himself at the topmost floor, a few steps away from his helipad Incase things got messy.He knew Bethany commanded

    Jack stormed into the hospital when he got the news of Mildred being involved in an accident and being rushed to Milton City specialist hospital.“Where is she?” He asked Alicia who had gotten there way before him since Greyjoy island was closer to Milton than Coral city.“Calm down baby, she’s in the ICU. She’s in a really bad state,” Alicia said, running into Jack’s arms and crying.Jack soothed her as he felt unease rise in his chest. How did it happen that all three of her cars were involved in an accident at the same time.He led Alicia to a corner seat as they waited for a doctor or nurse to come and give them an update on what was happening with her.Just then, Eagle arrived, flanked by two police officers and a member of the emergency rescue team that had rescued Mildred’s car from the crash scene.“This fucking shit wasn’t an accident boss, it was fucking planned. Tell him what you found out,” Eagle said in a cold voice to the police officers.“What!” Alicia jumped out of Jac
