Adriana is very excited for the date that she is going to have with James Jackson. She puts on a very seductive blue dress. It has a high slit and also barely gives her cleavage any covering. This is the perfect dress because she knows that it's going to distract James, while she carries out her mission. Afterwards, Saint Carter will have no other choice but to give her the information of the anonymous partner. On the bed, Jasper sits down as he glares at her. She is sitting by the mirror applying makeup to her face. He had tried to get her not to go, but she stood her ground and there is nothing he can do about it. He has been ignoring her and working on his laptop, but now she has put on one of her most seducing gowns and he can't believe that she is wearing it to see another man. “Adriana, why are you doing this?” He asks. *I told you that you can leave your grandfather's company. My father is going to make sure that you get a good job.” “And I've told you before, Jasper, I
Adriana's stomach forms knots of anxiety, james' cold eyes are piercing her soul. She immediately starts to laugh and shakes her head in denial. “Come on, James, I wasn't feeling for your phone. I was just trying to make out with you.” “Bullshit,” he snorts. “I've been asking you out for years now and you agree to it now? Even when you know that I am engaged? Is that how morally low you are right now?” Adriana pushes her hair away from her face and laughs. Her heart is racing in her chest, she knows that she has been caught. This should be her chance to run away from James Jackson, but she won't give up now. She leans forward again and gives him another kiss. James doesn't even try to stop her. He runs his hand through her hair, encouraging the kiss. “Come follow me to my hotel room.” He says to her. “I don't fancy the idea of making out in front of all these people.” She nods in agreement, not because she wants to have sex with him, but because she thinks it's going to work o
The sound of James’ gun going off leaves them shaking like leaves. Adriana turn around to make sure that they are not hit, but she sees Tina holding her abdomen and her fingers are tainted with blood. “Don't stop, go!” She yells at them. So they keep running until they get into their car. Thankfully, Jasper came in a cab, not a personal car. He takes the key from Adriana and jumps into the driver's seat. Tina shuts the door after Adriana, she is getting weak from the gunshot. “Fucking James Jackson! I am going to make sure that he regrets this! I am going to call the police!” Jasper mutters. “Hey, you got out well and alive. You don't know how dangerous that guy is, so I will advise you to just walk away.” Tina warns. “This never happened, you will be lucky if he doesn't come for you.” Jasper and Adriana looks at each other they have no recovered from the trauma that the encounter of James has left them. Jasper head has cool down now. He wasn't thinking straight before, but no
Surprisingly, she allows him to drive her to her hotel. He said that he is going to take his car and he will see to it that her car is delivered to her hotel, first thing in the morning. When they get into his G wagon, she leans against the headrest and shuts her eyes. He divides his attention between driving the car and keeping an eye on her. He hates to see her hurt like this. He hates to see that she is constantly putting herself in harm's way. She opens her eyes suddenly, locking eyes with him. “Why do you keep doing this?” He asks her. “Keep doing what?” “Why do you keep putting yourself in harm's way? Almost every time I see you, you are dodging bullets or firing a gun.” His voice is heavy with worry. “Too bad I couldn't dodge this one,” she jokes as she looks out of the window. “That's not even funny. Why the hell are you so nonchalant about your life?” His jaw tightens. “Do you realize that you could have died today?” “But I didn't,” she smiles. “Isn't that a good th
Jasper doesn't know what to think of this. Andrew is the last person that he would expect to see at his dad's house. He looks around, waiting to see if the grand guest is here, but no, it's just Andrew. “What the fuck is going on?” Jasper snorts as he looks around. “Do you have a new gig as a driver? Did you drive my parents’ visitors here?” Andrew cocks his head with amusement on his face. This makes Jasper appear even more irritated. “Ahh, Mister Carter!” His father appears at the door and shakes Andrew's hand with so much respect. Andrew just stands by the side, wondering what's happening. “We have been waiting for hours! You came alone?! That's very unusual for a big man like you!” His father and Andrew are laughing as if they have known each other for a long time. Jasper is about to correct his father and tells him that he is wrong. Andrew is not a ‘big man'. His father leads Andrew into the house and he turns around to caution Jasper with anger. “How did you stand ther
Jasper’s eyebrows shoot up in surprise. He throws his head back and laughs so hard and he hits his hand on the table. This is the craziest thing that he has heard in a long time. His parents have got to be joking if they believed that. The Great Overlord is the most talked about soldier in the entire world. He has single handedly started and ended wars. He is the only one that can make heartless tyrants piss in their pants. How can Andrew Carter be that man?! Never! Not even in a thousand years! He has never seen someone as useless and poor as Andrew! He remembers that Andrew tried to pull some stunts when he first met the man, but he never bought it. Those soldiers that he hired to try to scare them when he came back! They didn't buy it at all! He wasn't deceived then, he won't be deceived now. “Mum, Dad, telling me that Andrew Carter is the overlord is going to be harder than trying to convince me that big foot exists!” He huffs. “I have known Andrew for months now and I can
James Jackson was at the scene of the shooting and even though the police were able to rush the scene and detain everyone to get to the root of the matter, they didn't dare to touch James. He got into his car and drove straight to his father's house, fuming with so much bottled up anger. When he gets to the house, he parks the car in a rough manner and almost destroys the plants that are kept by the driveway side for beautification. He gets into the house and the first thing that he does is to kick down one of the small tables that hold figurines from the country of china. It crashes so loudly and even though it's so late at night, it wakes everyone up. As he goes about destroying anything his hands get laid on, the servants appear and hide behind the doorway. They are scared of him, they know that if they get any closer, he is going to hurt them too. “James, what do you think you are doing?” His father descends from the stairs, he is wearing a robe. “I'm so sick of all these
Andrew receives a text from Saint that says that they have to meet immediately, he has to discuss something with him. Andrew suggests they meet at the house because he has become very busy nowadays. He locks himself in the study of his house and handles some army work that needs dire attention. Saint won't come to the house, he asks for Andrew to meet him at a restaurant in a few hours time and Andrew agrees. His junior brother sounds very serious. When he gets to the restaurant, it's filled up because of just how popular and nice it is. People are literally hanging out outside, waiting for someone to cancel so that they can take their table. Saint has booked a table at one of the most comfortable sections of the restaurant, but he doesn't even have a glass of water on the table. Whatever it is that has brought Saint here today, it has to be very serious. Andrew sighs as he lets himself sit down on the available seat. That's when Saint raises his head, his brows are pulled down
