" What? No, son. You want me to get the big boss's number?" He asked, still in shock.Big boss? What did his father mean by that? Was his father serving someone again? Were they not also the boss after him? Was there something that he was missing? He wondered." I don't understand you, dad. What do you mean?" He asked again." Half of the wealth we own is mainly from Jack Kings! As famous as he is, no one knows him but all we know is that he controls a lot of businesses including us!"" How's that possible? How can you be under a boss? I thought that since you have granted the company to me, I am the boss of myself?" He asked again." Of course not! There was a time that our company had gone bankrupt. There was no means of survival and you were so young back then and may have probably forgotten by now. The Kings helped us get back on our feet. You see the company in India is for them. The chains of businesses I control here is for them and that is because half of the wealth I own come
Are you okay?" Mira asked as she noticed the look on his face while the rest of them scowled." Oh, he must have noticed that the money he had spent was too much or can't even pay up for what you guys have eaten! You know, Mira, it's not too late to come back to papa" Henry boasted while the rest of them laughed so hard." Goodness, Jack, probably you don't have enough to save you both asses. How about I help you out? you know, it's not too late to come over here and start begging on your knees being the pauper you are!" Anna said while they bursted out laughing again. " Mira, I'm sorry but can you give me few minutes?" He said instead and stood up. Without waiting for her reply, he rushed off while the others burst out laughing which further embarrassed her so much. " And what's so funny?* She asked and pretended as if she was still eating even though she was already full. Could this mean that he already ditched her because he did not have the money to pay for the meal they had
Mira's heart skipped a bit when she saw whom she had dreaded to see the most. Alicia? She thought and wished that the ground would surely open up and swallow her. She was the last person that she wished that she would ever see again." Mira, are you alright?" Jack asked while she looked like someone that wanted to cry. This was surely going to be an embarrassing moment for her and she already wished that Zoe was around at the moment.Why did she not even go with them in the first instance? she was screwed. She thought, not knowing how best she would have her head raised up. " Of course not. How would she be?" Alicia answered." And who the hell are you?" Jack asked while the woman looked at him from his head to his toe and laughed a bit. " Sorry? Who the hell are you instead? Oh, tell me. You're the chick she's probably going out with now? Your boyfriend, Mira?" She asked but Mira did not say anything instead. Seeing her expression, she burst out laughing." Goodness! Don't tell
" Okay, if that's it. See you too soon, then!" He said and smiled. " Yeah and I believe that it would be fun seeing you two together. It's been a while we've picked on you. I think it will be better that way!" She said and smiled again." Do you really think that you can pick on her when she had someone like me around her?" Jack said and held her hands while Mira looked at him getting so much pissed off. This man was taking this so far. She was only doing this so that she would pretend that she was strong and yet, this guy was really taking this to another whole level. What's wrong with this man? For the very first time, she disliked the fact that she had seen the both of them together. Maybe she should have just listened to her friends instead! She thought angrily even though she managed to smile. " wow! you must have thought that you are also some important person with the way you just talked. one would have thought that you are some sort of a business man" she said and laughed.
Just then, she titled her head and realized something." Hold on, do you think that because you must have won some sort of betting, you would be able to go there? So, if you were asked what your family occupation would be, what would you say? Do you plan on ruining my life?" " Urgh! Would you be surprised if I told you that? You know what, don't bother! It's fine if you also look down on me. I just thought that you were different from them?!' he said and walked away while she sighed sadly. Why was he not seeing things the same way she was? He was poor and she was literally trying to tell him that she would not be able to go with him. She thought and sighed as she sent him a text. Maybe she had really hurt his feelings or she should not have thought about that but then, he had put her in a very tight position. I'm sorry about what happened earlier but can I see you instead? Not today but any other days so that we can talk about the party. She sent and sighed. He had created a mess
" What? Dad! What do you mean by that?" Henry asked and frowned. He was sure that this pospy was telling lies because he still had a whole of plans. He needed money to possibly win Mira back and if at all he doesn't win Mira back, he could not just think that he would be able to just get accustomed to the fact that they were really so poor. Like what the hell? Then, he would be like that poor Jack that had nothing? Nah! Instead, he would just go about borrowing money and live the life he was accustomed with. " How could you think of borrowing some damned money and use that company to stand out? We literally own just 25% of the company revenue and I told you this! Now, see what you have caused us. We need to appear in the court by next week unless we are able to pay up in which I doubt you would ever be able to!" He yelled out angrily. Hold on! This man is really right about all what he is really saying right now? They were going to appear in the court? He did not think that what he
" What? Me? I am not expecting any letter!" He said and tore open the letter. Huh? Someone it seemed to him that the person that wrote this letter knew him very well! He thought as he read the letter." What does it say?"" The man wants me to be in the court and not you!" He said and scoffed." Dad, just who the hell is this man you call the boss? I really want to know him! What the hell? He really wants me to appear in court or would have to face a fine of three million dollars damages and still come to the court on another appointed date?" He asked and threw the paper away furiously. " What should we do now? I really don't know the boss and…"" Common, dad! That's how you keep saying and… I don't even understand you. Why the hell did you have to sign a contract with a man you were not even sure existed? Why did you have to sign a contract with a man they you do not even know existed?"" Well, what were you expecting? Unless you did not want to attend those expensive high school a
The next morning, Jack had received series of calls from the manager of Youberry street. They had always had the passion to meet him but then, his mother would always tell them the heir would surely come very soon. The next morning, he had found himself in front of Youberry street. Just wow! He thought and smiled as he watched the street and how busy it was. Goodness! It was morning and this people were working tirelessly or was it the fact that they must have heard that he would be coming? He thought as he looked at his appearance. He was dressed in a white Tshirt on his faded blue jeans balanced with a blue face cap, he felt that he was good to go but his mother had wanted him to make a grand opening. But then, he had hurriedly rushed out before she could even tell him to go with one of her favourite cars. His mother did not understand that he loved to stay humble, instead of being flashy. She'd never understood this and had felt that her son was still living like a poor man
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
" 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:" 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
" 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
" 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
" 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
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
" Jack, are you sure that you can help me with the goods ?" Mira asked Jack who seemed to be so pissed off at the moment as she looked at Jack. They were currently in her house. " are you okay?" Jack asked her instead. he could see her struggles and could see that she was doing just everything possible to make sure that she would combine her work with everything else but it did not seem to work out. In the end, she sighed as she looked down dejectedly." Do you want me to help you out with anything?" He asked again. " Eveyone would not stop looking at me as if I am the bad person and I do not even know whom the CEO is that thinks that he can just make my heart to break"At this moment, he did not know whether to let her know that he was the the CEO and in the end, when it seemed like she was about to break down in tears because of what she was passing through, he held her hands. " Mira, baby, everything that you are passing through over there is all because of me"" What do you mea
Mr Kings, you sent for me?" The head of the interviewing personnel said as soon as he rushed into Jack's office. It was his first time in such a big office. He looked at everywhere aside from Jack because he did not want to stare at him. Jack had a very scary aura that he could not keep up with no matter the situation. " So, I heard the news flying around that a particular woman has bought her way in because she is seducing me and it turned out that the peroneal you set up started it."" What! I am sorry sir but I made sure to caution my team after they had uttered those statements. I did not know that they wanted to make things worse." Bright said while Jack bit his lips. All he wanted to do was just to fire these People immediately because of how annoying they were. He wanted a safe and condusive place for the woman he loved and now, they were making it hard for them. In as much as he did not want to anything just to hurt her, he knew that she would be so pissed off at me when she
