I am happy to see that you are all hale and hearty" Kings snr said and smiled as he looked at his grandson. This was few minutes after the party but then, he had an inner pain within him. He knew that his son would face a lot but even though he could see how strong and capable he was, he still seemed so naive. " Thank you, grandfather and I promise that I would make the King's legend strong" Jack replied while he checked his phone again. Gosh! This was a surprise party he also wished that Mira would have come for but it turned out that she was still mad at him. Had he really done something that bad? How could he be the one in a position and he would not be able to help the woman he loved so much? Jack thought again while he felt his grandfather's hand on his. It was obvious that the man was so old. " There are a lot of things bothering you. Including the fact that you would have a very hard time proving yourself but son, I want you to take your fighting lessons so serious because y
" Where to, master?" The driver asked Jack while he held his head. Now, he realised how much of an idiot he was! He did not even know his girlfriend's apartment! How could he not even have any idea of that when all he did was make her angry? Does this mean that he was not meant to be in her life but he could not even do without her! Jack thought again and placed a phone call. " Mr Kings, we are…."" Don't bother about working on anything, Jason. Just get me the additional information of Mira at the company including where she lives. Five minutes" He said and hung up before Jason could say anything else. After few minutes, he was able to find out her location. " Allen avenue" He muttered while his car rolled into the road leaving Fabiola who had been watching him speechless. Soon after his car pulled over after a very exhausting day, Jack managed to finally trace Mira's house even though his driver had a very hard time locating it. He even managed to doze off on the way when it
" What would you like to take?" Zoe asked with no expression on her face. She had truly seen this man on TV the previous week and was even the reason she rushed down to see her sister but then, her sister would not even tell her where he was. Now, he showed up at their doorstep looking all expensive? Who would have believed that the poor church rat that eveyone dispised at home would turn out to be someone like this? She thought again and frowned. How could he have managed to have fool them all? At first, she did not want to believe it but she had managed to see the car he brought to such a shabby street and it was even a car that her father could never afford to buy no matter the situation! It was too expensive plus it was her dream car! Well, if her sister was not talking about the man, maybe she would also have to not overstep her boundaries. " What I would like to take?' Jack asked and chuckled nervously even though he could see through her. He did not know whether to smile o
" Mira … I am sorry" Jack pleaded again and looked at Zoe. " I would have loved to introduce you to someone that is now very important to me in my life" " Is that why you are here? My boss is not even supposed to be here in the first instance. So, Mr Kings, I would like it if you use the exit way" she said firmly while Zoe looked at her sister. She could see the determination and stubbornness in her already. " Zoe, I love your sister so much even if she thinks that I am not trustworthy enough to fall in love with her but trust me, what I feel…."" Get out! Right now!' her sister said again while he nodded and left the house. " Master, how did it go?" The driver asked him while he sighed. " Just face your front and drive!' he said firmly. ***" Mr Kings, when you want to shoot, you stand straight and focus on the target closely. Then, you shoot" Fabiola said while Jack shot his gun three times without listening to what she was saying. Right now, they were at the training ground wh
Few days later:" Did she accept my gift?" Jack called that fateful morning after he had taken Fabiola advice just to get back the woman he loved so much." Mr Kings, she seemed like a woman that does not want so much noise. We are sorry because we tried our best just to make sure that…."" Are you trying to tell me that you did not do your jobs so well after the huge amount of money you had gotten from me?" Jack yelled out at the man. " I am deeply sorry, sir. She did not give us a chance at all before she chased you out. It looks like you would do this yourself" The man said while Jack sighed. Mira had never given him such a hard time but it was just too hard to have told her the truth! He thought and looked at his laptop. There were a lot of things he had to work on but unfortunately for him, it looked like he would not be able to work on it anytime soon. How could the woman he loved so much be so mad at him and all he would do was to continue working as if he had no thoughts ab
" It's not what you think it is, Evelyn" Mira began while Jack looked at her. Was she really that ashamed to let this woman know that they were lovers? He thought again. " I am sorry, Mr Kings. I did not know that…."" Evelyn." Mira said and glared at her co-worker and finally looked at Jack. " Mr Kings, I will talk to you later about what happened!" She said while Jack just looked at her angrily and left the scene." That confirms it! You are dating our boss"" What? Listen, there is nothing going on between the both of us! What makes you think so?" She said. Evelyn was a woman that wanted to know about a lot of things and that was what Mira was trying to rectify before it got out of hands." Mr Kings and you? Gosh! You guys do not even fit each other. He deserves someone better than you! I can't believe that he…'" And I am telling you that what you think you know is not true at all! What the hell is wrong with you?"" Oh really? That is coming from someone that bargained her way
Few days later, Jack finally attended Miller Creeks party even though he initially did not want to go and this time around, he went with his girlfriend because he wanted to make her known. David Brown looked at his stepbrother with a lot of anger and wished that he would kill him. As if Miller Creek knew what he was thinking, he held his shoulders as he used a smile to welcome his guests. " You don't have to worry about what happens today. So far I have my own deal, we are good to go! Just play your part" He said while David nodded his head. " After all, it's all because of that bastard the old man would not even look at me!" He said as he showed Mira to his guests. Meanwhile, Jack who did not even know whom his stepbrother was yet smiled as he shook hands with the business men there. Some were people he knew and some were people he didn't know and wanted to connect with. " Hi, Good day" David said as he shook hands with Jack while Jack looked at him. he was sure that he ha
The sound of the dark crickets along the dark alley hastened Jack’s footsteps as he hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the town hospital, not wanting to break down. It was a dark, cold evening with rain pouring down in its own large quantity while Jack hurriedly rushed. But it seemed like the more he rushed, the more the road seemed Farer. What could he do? The sound of his footsteps was also the only thing that could be heard as he kept running. Everywhere was deserted expect few cabs which were moving in search of desperate passengers.He didn’t have the money to go with a cab. The least he could do was just to get drenched in the rain in a bid to save his dying mom who was lying sick and needed the urgent money for surgery.“ I have to save mother?” he whispered within himself continuously until he got to the hospital. He checked the time. It was few minutes to 8. That means he was still early to get the money deposited for the operation to take place that Wednesday. He had
