" 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
“ Hello baby, how are you doing? I missed you” he sent and texted back. He wished Clara, his girlfriend was here with him. He missed her so much but he had to choose his mother over her. Not like he wasn’t in love with her, he loved her so much and would not trade her for anything in the world but then, circumstances happen. He wished that he could take care of her the way he wanted. if only...He waited for few minutes and since there’s no response, even though she had always acted that way, he could not help but feel so bothered. He hurriedly log into her social media and searched for her recent status. He was shocked to see her share a post of a luxurious party.Jack stared at the photo for a while and suddenly feels sad for her. He felt angry within himself also. It seemed as if he was making her suffer. He was sorry that he could not give her the life she wanted. He was sorry because he was not wealthy enough to make her enjoy what money was all about. He knew she would be cravin
The next morning,. Jack hurriedly stood up from his bed and switched on his laptop. Today was the day of his presentation and he could not afford to miss it for anything. He had hurriedly had a lot of things saved in accordance to what he had saved earlier.Finally, his dreams was gradually coming to pass. He could not afford to miss it for any reason. At least, for the position he was expecting.Nervous, scared and fidgeting, he clicked on the files he was going to present in the presence of big investors and CEOs. If something went wrong, it would be a big blow for him.He hurriedly presented it as if he was in the conference room. Happy that his plans were gradually coming to pass and satisfied, he switched off his laptop and went ahead to meet his girlfriend who seemed lost.“ Baby” he said, smiling and walked up to her, she seemed so downcast which made him wonder if all was wrong.An idea suddenly struck in his mind and he smiled.Oh, she must be very worried about me. He though
The moment he had clicked on the drive for them to see what he was presenting, he smiled and looked at their faces. He was expecting to see that they had approved the presentation. But then, five minutes, ten minutes, they said nothing but held shock on their faces.Are they not supposed to be happy? He thought, wondering what the problem could be. He was sure of what he had done. Could it be the video he had played for them to see? He thought and glanced at them. The moment he turned towards the big board, his eyes widened in shock.What the hell? He thought in bewilderment as he hurriedly looked at the drive in his hands. It was the same drive he had saved the files and he was sure of it. No one else changed it.What’s this? He thought as he stood rotted in a position. This was a pure definition of embarrassment.In the video clip that was supposed to have his presentation saved, it was another video that had a stripper dancing around the Pole while a lot of ladies were spraying mon
