With every passing minute, the danger of Jerome's escape loomed larger and larger in Jeremy's mind. He was sure that Jerome wouldn't let this setback deter him from his twisted plans, and that he would soon emerge from the shadows, more dangerous and cunning than ever.The clock was ticking, and Jeremy knew they had to act fast. Every second wasted was a second closer to Jerome's next move.As the special forces medical personnel tended to Jeremy's wounded arm, the rest of the men sat in silence, the failure of the mission weighing heavily on their shoulders. Jeremy's phone rang, and he quickly picked up when he saw it was Jefferson, the only one who might have had any contact with Jerome since his escape. "Jefferson," Jeremy answered, his tone urgent and expectant."Boss, we've got a problem!" Jefferson's voice crackled over the line, his tone fraught with worry."What kind of problem?" Jeremy demanded, his brow furrowing with concern."It's Edwards Pharmaceuticals," Jefferson repl
Jeremy sat in silence during the drive home, his thoughts focused on the impending trip to the UK and the dangers it might present. With Jerome's whereabouts still unknown, he couldn't leave Mia and Avery unprotected, not with a potential threat looming on the horizon.His mind churned, trying to find a solution that would keep them all safe and secure. The decision weighed heavily on him, like a burden he couldn't shake off.As soon as he stepped through the door, Mia and Avery rushed to embrace him, their eyes filled with concern and fear. The sight of his bandaged arm caused a ripple of distress to pass over their faces, and Mia spoke first, her voice quivering slightly."Daddy, are you okay? Did the bad man hurt you?" she asked, her eyes wide with worry.Jeremy couldn't bear to see the fear in his family's eyes. He forced a reassuring smile and cupped Mia's cheek with his uninjured hand. "I'm fine, darling," he said, his voice gentle and calm.Mia's expression softened at her fath
Mia's eyes lit up with excitement as she skipped over to her father, clutching his arm with both hands. "Daddy, are we really going to another country for vacation?" she asked, bouncing on the balls of her feet. Jeremy smiled down at his daughter, his heart swelling with love for her innocence and joy. "That's right, princess," he replied, ruffling her hair gently. "We're going on an adventure, the whole family together." Mia's face broke into a wide grin, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Where are we going? "We're going to the United Kingdom!" Jeremy announced, his voice filled with excitement. Mia gasped, her hands flying to her mouth. "The United Kingdom? Like with the castles and the queens and the knights and everything?" she asked, her imagination running wild. Jeremy chuckled. "Well, I don't know if we'll see any knights, but we will definitely see some beautiful castles and historic sites," he replied, picturing the wonders of Britain in his mind. Mia jumped u
Jeremy's eyes met those of the surly attendant, her attitude all too familiar. Her type had crossed his path more than once, and yet, he chose to remain silent. His reaction was one of quiet resignation, a deep-rooted understanding that engaging in a verbal conflict would achieve little."If you and your family could please step aside," the attendant hissed, her words dripping with disdain. "I need to serve customers who are more decisive. You're fortunate that I'm in a good mood today, or else I'd have taught you a lesson about being smart."Avery's patience snapped like a taut wire. "Keep your comments to yourself," she snapped, her voice brimming with venom. "You're lucky I'm keeping my composure, otherwise I would have put you in your place.The attendant's features twisted in a sneer. "You think you can threaten me?" she scoffed. "Go ahead and try. I'm not scared of a little girl like you."Avery's fists clenched, her body tensing as she fought to keep her anger in check. "You ha
Jeremy's eyes turned deadly immediately.without being told, one could tell he was very sad. His face turned red and his hands shook. He heard his plane being called. The loud voice made his heart beat fast, knowing he can't miss the flight, missing it would mean he's going to me late for the meeting, which he doesn't want to. But the lady at the desk was still not helping matters.She stood there with her arms crossed, with a mean smile on her face.At that moment Jeremy took a deep breath. His eyes got big and angry. He said to the lady.“You are making a big mistake by this action of yours.”His voice was low and scary. “I did not want to do this. But you want to see what I can do. So I will show you.”He pointed his finger at her. “When I do, do not ask me to stop, or beg me, you asked for it,and I'm going to give you enough.”However, hearing Jeremy threatening her, the lady did not listen; she wasn't moved. Instead she rolled her eyes and laughed. She said“If you and your
When the lady pointed her finger at Mia, accusing of carrying the drugs, Jeremy felt like his head would explode; he couldn't believe what the lady just said. His fists got so tight, his knuckles started turning white.“How dare you point at my little girl and accused her of such an nonsense!, you claim to be a professional but you're just an amateur,”he said, feeling his blood boiling. He could feel his heart beating super fast in his chest wanting to smack the lady so badly, that made his heartbeat fast like a drum.However the lady wasn't moved by Jeremy's words.She kept talking. She had a mean smile on her face, and her eyes were small and cruel.“Oh you're now angry because I finally caught you in your plans, You thought I wouldn't know?”she said, sticking out her chin. She tapped her name tag with her short red fingernails. “Tap, tap, tap.”“I have been doing this job for many, many years. I know when something is wrong! and everything about all of you, just confirmed to me
Upon hearing what the lady just said. saying the picture and everything she had just showed her were fake, she couldn't believe it. At that moment, Avery's eyes grew huge like saucers. Her face got even redder than a tomato. Her hands started shaking so hard that almost made her dropped her phone. “What did you just say?” she yelled, slamming her hand on the desk again with a BANG!. “How dare you say these are Photoshopped! These are real documents! you didn't even check or try to confirm, yet you opened your mouth to say they are fake.” At that moment Avery gaze becomes very intense. “ Do I or my husband look like people who would be playing games” Her heart was beating so fast she could hear it in her ears. Jeremy at that moment didn't say a word, he knows what he's going do, but his gaze was still on his watch and his mind was divided, not wanting to be late for the meeting and same time he wants to deal with the lady so badly, but then his eyes was still on
One of the bystanders who had gathered at the scene, a woman with a sour look on her face, spoke up. "Who knows what kind of abuse this poor girl has suffered? Those crazy people might be using her to sell drugs," she speculated, casting a judgmental eye on Mia. Avery, was quick to defend her child. "Don't you dare say such things about my child!" she said, her voice rising in anger. "Just because you would use your own children for something like that, doesn't mean I would." Avery, her face flushed with anger, turned back to confront the lady. "The only reason I haven't slapped you silly is because you work for the government," she snapped, her voice trembling with rage. The woman, with a smirk on her face, faced the crowd and continued her tirade. "You can all see how violent she is! It's further proof that she's involved in drugs. I know I'm right about this," she declared, her smugness almost obvious. Avery, her patience fraying at the edges, retorted with a sharp tongue. "
