CHAPTER 6
“What do you mean I have been barred from entering here? This is my house, I live here.”Jack was stunned when he got to the Kent family mansion and he was denied entry into the mansion.“Look at this criminal claiming that he lives here. Tell me, who owns this house? Is it you or the Kent family? Just get out of here before I release the dogs on you!”The security man blew hot and insulted Jack, standing firmly in his path. He always thought that Jack was just an ordinary garbage collector who got lucky and married the beautiful lady Bianca, but now that Jack’s true nature has been exposed, he would deal with Jack.“I don’t have a problem with you Luke, I just want to see my wife. Let me in. If not for anything, for all the many times that I have assisted you,” Jack replied, not minding the insult. He only wanted to see Bianca and clear his name.Luke was the name of the security guard. He used to be close to Jack but he was only pretending. Jack would always assist him financially because he always complained that his salary was not enough to take care of his wife and seven children but now he didn’t care about that. To him Jack was just a criminal that got lucky enough to marry the young lady of the house.“I didn’t force you to assist me. If I had known it was drug money, I never would have accepted it! Now get out or I will really bring the dogs out!”Jack ignored his threat. “Bianca! Bianca! Bianca!”Jack started to scream hoping that Bianca would hear him but it was Charlotte Kent, Bianca’s mother who heard him instead and came out.“Look who finally decided to show his face. You scoundrel! You have some nerve coming here after what you did,” Charlotte instantly attacked Jack.“Mother, I didn't do it. I was set up, you have to believe me,” Jack replied humbly. He knew how hard it would be to convince them, especially Charlotte, who has never hidden her disdain for him.“May you lose your tongue for calling me mother! Don’t you know where your useless mother is? I would rather have my womb ripped out than give birth to something as worthless as you,” She spat saliva on the floor after she spoke to show how disgusting Jack was to her.Jack was already used to her insults, immune to them even. He didn’t bother much about it. He was about to reply when Marcus came out of the building.“Get out! Get out of here now you miserable drug pusher! You are such a loser!”He walked close to Jack and raised his hand to slap Jack but Jack caught his hand in the air. Jack could tolerate their words because he believed that sticks and stones may break his bones but words shall never hurt him and Marcus trying to hit him was crossing that line.“Let me go!” Marcus yelled, unable to free himself from Jack’s strong grip. He never expected Jack to defend himself or to even be so strong.“I didn’t do this. I wanted to thank the family for bailing me out but you won’t even let me inside,” Jack said calmly, letting Marcus go.Marcus massaged his wrists which were in pain and red from Jack’s strong grip. “How dare you? How dare you hurt me? Ah! You are finished now!”“Look what you've done to his hand. You say you are here to thank us and instead you are attacking him. Are you mad?!” Charlotte yelled.She tried to slap Jack again and this time Jack simply moved out of the way but Charlotte had swung her hand with so much force that once she missed Jack’s face, the force sent her crashing to the floor and bruising her elbows.“Ah!” She cried out, massaging her elbows as blood coated on the surface of her wound. “Look what you've done to me. You are dead now! Dead! Release the dogs on him!”The security guard who had been watching the drama unfold, frustrated that Jack didn’t get hit, happily ran off to get the dogs.“Please, can we all just calm down and talk about this peacefully? I just want to clear my name and apologize for any disgrace that I may have brought this family because of this issue, but I swear I am not a drug dealer, I have never sold or used drugs in my life,” Jack spoke calmly, running his hands through his hair and taking a deep breath.The situation was already turning into a huge disaster and that was not what he had in mind.“Disgrace? You are the disgrace to this family, I never should have let you marry my daughter, you this wretched bastard!” Charlotte was furious as Marcus helped her to her feet.“Don’t worry about him Aunty, after the dogs are through with him, I will arrest whatever is left of him for assault against us,” Marcus smirked coldly.No one would believe they were the ones that attacked Jack with the marks they had on them.Suddenly they heard very loud barking and growling coming from behind them as four big Rottweilers ran towards them, looking menacing and deadly.Marcus and Bianca were so scared because they rarely saw the dogs. They just knew they had them for security purposes but when they saw these huge dogs that looked like killing machines running towards them, they instantly regretted their decision and ran into the security post for protection, yelling from behind the window.“Get him!”“Bite his balls!”“Chew his bones!”“Haha! Jack is surely dead now,” Luke commented, smiling from ear to ear.They all watched in excitement as the brutal dogs leaped towards Jack, barking and snarling dangerously.CHAPTER 7The smile on Luke’s face increased as the dogs pinned Jack to the floor but it vanished immediately, when he saw that instead of mauling and clawing Jack, the killer dogs were licking him and wagging their tails like puppies that were given gift bones.Jack chuckled on the floor as their tongues tickled his face.“Stop it Bruno.”“Be a good boy chasyn.”“Haha, stop that Milo.”“Craig….”All three spectators that were expecting to hear Jack scream and beg watched in horror as he laughed, being licked by and playing with the dogs.Their eyes popped out of their sockets and their mouths literally touched the floor as they stared at the sight before them.Not only were the vicious looking dogs being over friendly with Jack, the security guard did not even know that the dogs had names.Jack stood up from the floor as the four dogs circled around him, panting and wagging their tails in excitement. What the security guard did not know was that from the time when the dogs were puppi
CHAPTER 8Jack felt his blood boil and he clenched his fists before pulling them apart forcefully.“What is wrong with you Bianca?” Jack’s face was red hot and he fumed in anger, mixed with the heartbreak and betrayal he felt. “I am your husband! How dare you kiss another man in front of me?”“You are no husband of mine you asshole! What are you even doing here? I thought after you were released the shame had made you jump over a bridge or something,” Bianca replied with venom in her tone.What?! Jack was stunned. Bianca had never spoken to him like this before. Every word that left her lip felt like a needle piercing his heart. Was this all because he was framed as a criminal? Was that why she was talking to him like this and even kissing another man before his very own eyes?“Bianca……” Jack tried to touch her arms but Trent stepped forward and pushed Jack back.“Don’t you dare!” “Get out of my way! This is between me and my wife,” Jack spoke in a low but very cold and deadly tone.
CHAPTER 9Bianca ignored Jack and ran towards Trent’s car which was already making a turn to leave the compound and take. “You can’t do that Trent. No you can’t do that to me,” Bianca complained frantically and bitterly.“Why not?” Trent rolled down his window. “I already slept with you which was my major aim before and promising to marry you was just a trick to get you in my bed. Your crazy ex-husband just gave me the perfect excuse to call it off.” And with that his car zoomed off.Bianca felt like she couldn’t breathe. Just like she used and betrayed Jack, she had been used and betrayed. She crashed to her knees and started to cry.Jack couldn’t believe anything he had just heard of make any sense of it. He only felt a tugging pain in his heart. Bianca had cheated on him in the hopes of marrying Trent?Jack closed his eyes and two teardrops fell from each of his eyes from the pain he felt but how would she have married Trent when they were still married? It was then it dawned on J
CHAPTER 10Jack didn’t need to think too much to know who would’ve sent him that kind of money. He knew it was his family who was trying to bribe him to forgive them for casting him aside like they did.That money alone automatically made him one of the top ten richest individuals in Coral city and he knew there was more where that came from.The look on his wife and in-laws' faces almost made Jack laugh. “It’s a prank! Haha! You should see your faces right now. Where will an ordinary garbage man like me see that kind of money?”“What sort of stupid prank are you playing? I knew a pauper like you can never come across that kind of money,” Charlotte replied, sighing a huge sigh of relief. The momentary thought of Jack being richer than their entire family irked her greatly.Bruce hummed, putting his index finger to his lips and looking at Jack intently. Something told him that message didn’t sound like a prank. Why would Jack throw such a stunt? It was unlike him. Even if he hated Jack
CHAPTER 11The next morning, Jack asked Mildred to set up a meeting with the CEOs of those companies. He wanted to have a talk with them personally.His real identity was still not known to most people so there was no way the CEOs would know who he really was or that they just terminated business with their largest shareholders. Even as the son in law of the Kent family, they didn’t know him personally, only that he had a garbage business and they did business with him because of his association with the Kent family.“Do you know which of the investors want to see us?” Charles Baker, the CEO of Prime Logistics, the biggest logistics company in the city asked.He was in charge of moving imported supplies for the Kent family from the sea port to their warehouse.“I hear Blackbolt investments has a new director and he would like to meet us, at least that is what my assistant told me,” John Connor, the CEO of Havillah Marketing Group replied, they were in charge of marketing and distribut
CHAPTER 12The men’s eyes popped out of their socket, their hearts pounded with fear and their mouths dropped to the floor as they all stared at the documents they had just been handed. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Once the news of Blackbolt pulling out of their companies reached the news, other investors and shareholders would also panic and sell their shares and their companies would be worth next to nothing.“No, you can’t do this to us!” Charles Baker screamed his head off. Blackbolt personally owned 86 percent shares in his company. He would crumble without them backing him.“Please what did we do to deserve this?” Bale Juniper, the CEO of Atlas Packaging and Co. A company responsible for rebranding and repackaging some of the imported products to meet the country’s requirements before leaving the Kent family warehouse asked, his eyes almost teary.“Who asked you to do this? Who is that person? We have never failed to make profit for your company. You can’t just kick us out
CHAPTER 13While Jack was having that meeting with the CEOs, the Kent family mansion and its inhabitants were suffering the wrath of the Garner Patriarch, Stefan Garner, the grandfather of Trent Garner.The wounds the dogs had inflicted on his only grandson were severe and he was demanding for the head of the imbecile who dared to put dogs on him but the problem now was that no one in the Kent household knew where Jack was.“Where is he?!” Stefan asked furiously, his face red and full of veins. Though he was in his early sixties, he was still very fit and young. He wore Khaki shorts and a fitted shirt with thick leather boots which he intended to stomp Jack’s head with.“We already told you sir, we don’t know where he is. But I have killed the useless dogs. I poisoned them myself. Please, we have nothing to do with him anymore,” The usually proud Marcus begged on his knees desperately.One word from Stefan and the entire Kent family as they knew it would cease to exist. It was why they
CHAPTER 14Jack had just finished his meeting with those men after giving them a next to impossible condition and an even more dangerous ultimatum to fulfill it or they could kiss their companies goodbye.After leaving the venue of the meeting, he dropped Mildred at the airport where she took her private jet back home to their parents.The plan was for both of them to head back home before but with the latest developments, Jack decided to stay back and monitor things personally. Moreover an idea was slowly brewing in his mind. An idea to take over Coral city and build his own personal empire here.Heading back to the rented Villa from the airport, Jack changed out of his custom made fancy suit and expensive designer shoes and changed into a more regular trouser and shirt with his refurbished leather shoes and headed to his garbage company office.The office was basically just two rooms. One was for the admin staff, about seven of them, including Jack and his manager and the other for t
