CHAPTER 24Two hefty security guards immediately appeared on the scene. One of them had been standing by the lobby door and had heard everything that was going on.He immediately assumed the situation and grabbed Jack’s arm roughly to toss him out of the building.SMACK! SMACK!Austin immediately slapped the security guard left and right, forcing him to let go of Jack.“What do you think you are doing? Do you know who that is?!” He shouted angrily at the man who was too perplexed to speak.“Apologize now!” “I’m sorry sir,” The security guard bowed and apologized to Jack.Everyone witnessing the scene immediately became confused. Bianca herself was wide eyed. Unable to hide her confusion, she couldn’t help but speak.“What! Who is he? He is nothing but a useless man. Throw him out!” She ordered with authority like she owned the place or something.SMACK! Austin handed her a back hand slap, sending her to the floor in more shock and confusion.He glared deathly at her. “The only useles
CHAPTER 25“You disappointed me Tiger, how can two men take down ten of your guys and one strike knocks you out?” Stefan Garner asked in anger and disbelief.Tiger and his men knelt on the floor, all their heads bowed in shame and disgrace. It was more painful for Tiger because in his defence, Cole caught him off guard but the truth remained that he and his men were defeated.“His bodyguard was lighting fast sir, just like the flash,” One of Tiger’s men replied.“His speed and strength was nothing like I have ever seen before,” Another one added.“The other man was a scrappy fighter but he had good form as well. We were caught off guard,” yet another one said.“Shut up all of you. I should shoot you all in the balls one by one for even having the guts to defend your weakness.”Stefan was livid. Trent had to undergo five minor surgeries because of how deep some of the dog bites were. He needed Jack to experience the same fate and even worse.How did the ordinary son in law of a low clas
CHAPTER 26On another side of town, three men tossed out luggage after luggage from a huge mansion, and a woman tried to stop them to no avail.Her eyes were red and puffy, evidence of long hours of crying. Her hair was dishevelled, her make up smeared.She held on to one of the boxes as one of the men dragged it outside, the man didn’t bulge, he dragged her along with it.Her delicate feet scraped along the hard concrete floor and it mercilessly lacerated her skin, blood spilled out of her wounds and smeared the ground, but the pain she felt from it could not compare to the one that wrecked her heart.One singular action cost her everything. She had lost it all. Her family, her status, her prestige, her identity. Once a princess, now condemned to forever be a pauper.That mansion belonged to the Kent family and the woman, Bianca Kent.“Grandpa please, have mercy. There’s no way I could have known,” Bianca begged. She crawled and clutched Barry’s feet as tears cascaded down her face.“
CHAPTER 27While Jack and Cole were having their tête-à-tête, Tiger and his men had surrounded his Villa. Lewis had pulled some strings to find out where Jack was staying currently, but he hadn’t found out anything about Jack’s family just yet.One of the men cut out the primary source of power from the control room, some of them barred all the exits except one, which was the front door. While the rest threw canisters after canisters of teargas through the windows to force the inhabitants of the house outside.The maids were screaming from the burn and choke of the gas, scampering to find their way outside. Some of Tiger’s men who wore face masks to protect themselves made their way into the Villa, hauling the helpless maids outside, to use as collateral against Jack in case he thought of a way to escape.More screams filled Jack and Cole’s ears as they quickly took off their shirts and used them as protective covers from the deadly fumes of the gas, making their way outside.“Your mai
CHAPTER 28Jack bravely walked up to Tiger, looking him dead in the eye and shaking his head like someone who had pity on Tiger.“I was going to spare Lily and little Carmen but now, your whole family breathes their last today, even their little puppy, Bruno,” Jack said venomously. After the last incident at his office, Jack used his resources to look into Tiger and he found out that the man had a secret family. So secret, that his daughter didn’t even know Tiger was her father.Tiger opened his mouth to speak as he looked wide eyed at the man before him but he couldn’t find any words. Fear gripped him out of nowhere and he began to sweat profusely.His family…..No one knew of them, not even his employees, the Garners. Because of his lifestyle and the nature of the job, he kept them hidden, his little secret, a big secret.How did Jack find out? He even knew their names and that they had a puppy. Did he know where they lived? Is his family safe right now? His heart began to pound agai
CHAPTER 29“At this rate, we’re going to lose everything in no time grandpa, what do we do?” Gerald Kent questioned as four men of the Kent family sat at the table.Their business had lost two more of their prominent customers following the announcement from the Millers. These two companies were loyal to the Miller family and did not want to be on their bad side by doing business with the ostracised Kent Group.“I assume you have a brain in that thick skull of yours. Why don’t you brainstorm some freaking ideas or is it only good for flirting with women?” Barry shot a harsh response back at Gerald.“Sorry Grandpa.”“Sorry for yourself,” Barry replied coldly.“This is all Jack’s fault. Ever since he left this family, it’s like he placed a curse on us,” Bruce Kent said.“You’re right Uncle. First, he mysteriously became acquainted with some top director at Blackbolt and we almost lost our partners because of him. Heck! We even had to help his fucking business prosper while ours suffered.
CHAPTER 30Faraway from Coral city, on the rocky ice plains of Iceland where the temperature had dropped significantly below zero degrees. A tall man was shirtless, wearing only right denim pants and a leather boot.He had broad shoulders, well toned abs and a firm chest that had a deep blade scar across it. The ridges and contours of his back were covered with a large tattoo of an eagle, spreading its wing and about to take off.It was why they called him The Eagle.The Eagle hummed a song to himself as he sharpened axes. Exactly twelve in number, because about 10 metres from him, he had twelve men, each tied to a stake. The men were all dressed in black robes, their mouths were gagged and they had hoods covering their faces.They were visibly shaken. Every sound produced from sharp metal grazing hard rock made them whimper, fear seeping out of their pores as they pondered who was going to be the first to die.“Who’s first?” The Eagle asked, skillfully swinging the axe in his hand in
CHAPTER 31“How long will you be gone for Chief?” Cole asked as he escorted Jack into the private jet. Mildred had returned after learning about the atttack on Jack’s Villa and his parents inisited he returned home for a while. It has been long since they saw him and even Jack knew the reunion was long over due.Everything seemed well for now at least in Coral city. He heavily compensated the family of the driver and maid who were killed by Tiger and he had moved into his new mansion.“One or two weeks. Keep an eye on everything for me. I’ll be in touch always,” Jack replied.“Are you sure it’s okay to go without security? I don’t know what I’m supposed to keep an eye on here. I’m your bodyguard, my job is to keep an eye on you,” Cole replied.“I’m going home Cole, there’s no need. Take this time to brush up on those administrative skills. I may need you to do more important stuff plus when I get back, I’m hiring a security team. It’s imperative at this point.”Cole wanted to protest
