"I see you have grown enough wings to be able to talk to me in any manner that so pleases you." Lady Alina asked, getting really pissed with the serving boy."This man here did not contribute a single quota to your well-being," Jack revealed, causing Donald to stare in disbelief at him."Who is this peasant?" Donald asked, staring at Lady Alina."He is the wretched serving boy, an unfortunate being. I am truly sorry for all the embarrassment that he is causing you. And as for you, Jack, I want you out of this table at once." Gerlad simply smiled but didn't move an inch."You are retarded if you don't do as Lady Alina has instructed," Venita, Rose's mother, finally said. Rose, on the other hand, searched through Jack's eyes to see if he was saying the truth and realized that there was never a time she had known him to be a liar before."He is not going anywhere; either he stays or we both leave." Jack was all smiles, as he was happy Rose was having some faith in him again."Is this what
The day was far gone, and Ella was working intensely on so many projects for the company when she received a call from a prospective client."Rex Company, how may I be of help?""Am I speaking with Miss Ella?" The anonymous voice askedYes, you are; how may I be of help, please?""I want to make an alliance with Rex Company. And if you would listen carefully, this alliance would fetch Rexa a very huge sum of money that you all would not be ready to contain in your account." The anonymous voice explained."Alright then, shoot up; we are listening.""Actually, we cannot talk on the phone. Can you please lay out a meeting for us to discuss more?" Ella hesitated for a second, scrambling through her diary to know if she had any fixed meetings for the following day, but it turns out that she had none."Tomorrow should be okay with you." Sje asked"That would be excellent," The anonymous commented, "we would meet at a specific location I would give out to you in a minute, through text messag
Aliyah was surprised to see Rose with her loads, coming to her house. She had helped her old friends with her belongings and assisted her into the room.Once Rose had settled down, she knew that Aliyah would be needing an explanation of her sudden arrival and so, proceeded to the living room to meet up with her friend."Seeing you on arrival, I was surprised to see your face, and i must say that you have grown quite beautiful from the last time I saw you" Rose took the compliment and smiled at her friend."So, what brought you here" Aliyah asked, paying all attention to her friend to give her the necessary details she need."Alot of things have been happening with me lately and i feel a change of environment would be needed for me for now""Care to share some of these things you are talking about?" Aliyah asked."First of all, the pressure from my clan and although that is settled, I have been made the sole inheritor of all the revenue that would be coming to the clan" Rose explained.
It was Sunday, and Rose and Aliyah had set out to get groceries from the mall. They had kept Audery with a nanny, whom Aliyah had hired whenever she was going to work, to cater for the baby."I have to admit, Val, you have a very smart child in Audery; he is the true description of a genius, and on top of that, he sure knows how to melt anybody's heart." Aliyah, who was driving, smiled at the compliment given to her child."So, what are we going to get at the mall?" Rose asked."A few goodies aside, I was hoping we could get clothes for myself as I really need them at the moment," Aliyah stated as they packed the car by the parking lot before heading into the mall.The city's mall was one of the centers of attention for most people, who came to get a variety of things. As they walked across the busy mall, Rose saw the variety of fruits that were stacked, and she had to admit that it had been days since she had eaten fruit. She wasn't complaining, as she knew of her friend's job, which
When Sanchez's men arrived, they didn't hesitate to come over to Jack, who had sent them."So you really think these stupid men would scare me? I am not intimidated, and let me tell you a fact real quick: I am untouchable in this country. Go and ask of me." The man boasted. Jack, on the other hand, simply walked up to the man and smiled at him, saying"You may be acting all tough, but the problem here is that you are not as tough as you look. You are only a shadow of yourself." Jack turned to look at Mahbed and smiled at the young boy."Mahbed dear, this man tore you up like a unicorn, isn't it?" Mahbed nodded accordingly. "So, what do we do to him?" He prayed that Mahbed pick a hardcore punishment, as he was willing to go all out on the man and prove to him that child abuse is a sin."Poke him in the eye!" Mahbed cheered loudly, causing Jack to simply chuckle. He turned and looked at the men, saying"You heard the kid; do as he has instructed, or I will tell Sanchez to fire you all."
When Jack arrived home, he was hurt by all the things Rose had said to him. He had proceeded to park the car at the company and hand the keys to Ella.While sitting in silence, Jack knew that someone must have instituted Rose against him. The fact that she was saying certain words that she hadn't said in the past was enough proof of what he was talking about.He headed to the bathroom to take his bath, and the idea of having to do the surgery he had so dreamed about flashed through his mind yet again.He didn't want anyone to know the source of his wealth just yet, and he was lucky to have fabricated the lie about Ella owning the car for Rose.Having taken his bath, a thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he immediately picked up his phone. While he had noticed Rose leaving the hall, Reece was there, and that means that he must have told her something that got her in the mood she was in at the moment."Hello Sanchez, Once again, I need you to do a favor for me; I want you to help me
Jack returned to his house, seemingly hurt by the entire situation that had played out at the meeting. He never thought for a minute that Rose would be against him. However, he wasn't surprised, seeing that they weren't on good terms."Hello sir, I have done as you have asked of me. As we speak, all contracts and projects that their clan could ever have or even lay eyes on have been cut off completely."Excellent. Now let's see who has the last laugh," Jack stated, hanging up. He headed out of the apartment in the hope of going to see his doctor.He had made up his mind that the only way possible for Rose to like him was if he was able to make the surgery. The doctor had previously told him that his inner skin got melted as a result of the fact that something hot poured on his face, thereby making him ugly in the process.When he arrived at the hospital, he was told to wait patiently for the doctor to arrive, and given that he wasn't going anywhere, Jack decided to wait as instructed.
Donald, Logan, and Reece were gathered once again, and this time, things weren't going well with any of them."Why would Mr. Sanchez just cut off my clan's project with his company just like that? Donald asked no one in particular, as everyone was silent."Yours is a one-time project? Mine happens to be a mind-blowing contract that could easily take my clan to the highest level in the country. And this same bald-headed man had to kill such a dream," Logan lamented."Guys, we need to calm down. I need you all to know that I am not left out in this either. Mine is the fact that all the companies my clan ever owned have been bought over by Mr. Sanchez. As I speak to you guys, my clan's wealth has depreciated to a level of no return." Reece was almost on the brink of tears, but he held himself back from crying."Could this be Karma playing on us? Donald asked as everyone kept on lamenting."What do you mean by karma?""Ever since we unanimously decided to break things up with Rose and Jac
Dame was enjoying the best of his life, as he had expected. Annabelle being part of it was a blessing in disguise. It had been a week, and Dame had gotten used to Russia.Today, he was in deep thought about a particular task he needed to carry out, and that was asking Annabelle out on a casual date. He didn't know what Annabelle thought of him and only hoped that she reciprocated it back.He stepped out of the room that Annabelle had offered him and headed down to the living room, where he presumed that she would be seated and probably watching Netflix."Staying in your room all by yourself makes me wonder if you are actually who your name says you are." Dame smiled; one certain fact about Annabelle he could not get tired of seeing was the fact that she had a great sense of humor."Now that you made mention of it, can you go in and get dressed?" Annabelle turned her gaze to him and looked at him, confused."And why am I getting dressed?" This was the point Dame needed to act brave; he
The day happened to be a free day for Jack, and he had decided to spend it at home watching Netflix for the first time ever. He was a busy person, but there were times even he knew that the body needed to rest.Imade entered the room, and Jack tried all he could not to groan at the sight of her. She had become a nuisance to him, and he would only hope that he achieved his plans in time before he broke out of character."Hey, babe, what are you watching?" I made myself slump on the couch by his side and snuggled close to him. Jack knew if it was Rose, he would have been distracted by her body appeals, but with Imade, he felt like a log of wood."Why are you not saying anything, though?" Imade enquired."Look, Imade, I am watching this interesting movie, and I don't want to miss a single scene," he pleaded to her convincingly. There was silence momentarily until Imade decided to spoil his entire mood for the day by making a shocking announcement."Babe, I am pregnant," she announced, ca
It has been three days since Annabelle left the hospital, and though she was still her moody self, she had cheered up a bit thanks to Dame, who looked after her."Knowing that those savages didn't destroy the warehouse gives me so much joy," Annabelle commented as she sat on the couch, switching the television to Netflix.When she was deployed to Russia, Annabelle was handed a pay check by Jack worth seven million dollars. She had acquired a mini-apartment upon her arrival and had sent some of the money to her late brother.Dame, on the other hand, had taken it upon himself to ensure that she was back to herself; he missed the happy, cheerful Annabelle.Though she was getting back to her feet, she was not 100 percent okay, as she still had bandages in her chest area."You know, I almost forgot to ask, how are Rose and Boss?" Annabelle asked, looking at Dame."About those two, they are no more," Annabelle said, her eyes widening in shock."Wait a minute, Jack left her?""Not really; di
Rose was fast asleep in bed when she felt hands caressing her. She jolted up instantly to see Jeremy smiling at her."I want to have a taste of you, babe," he said with a husky voice. Rose felt irritated; she was not going to allow Jeremy to have sex with her."But I told you, I am on my period." He stood up menacingly from the bed and shot her a deadly glare."You are such a terrible liar, Rose. You really think I don't know about these things? I did my research and found out you were lying". Rose stiffened a bit. That was her only hope of avoiding sex, but it wasn't working. She contemplated actually having sex with Jeremy; she knew it would defile her conscience because she swore to herself that only Jack would touch her, but she needed to fully capture him, and so sex was the only way."Look, babe, I am sorry for lying to you, and yes, we can have sex." She bit her bottom lip to seduce him, and Jeremy growled in excitement.Flying her pants down, he bent down to her womanhood, his
While they were headed downstairs, they bumped into Jack and Imade; Rose could see the rage in Imade's eye upon seeing her."How dare you? You dare slap my Jack? You are nothing but a whore." Rose felt like giving her a piece of her mind but decided to play the silent treatment."Jack isn't worthy of you; that is why you opted for Jeremy." Rose knew that this was the chance to finally earn Jeremy's trust completely, defending him."Jeremy isn't less of a man than any other man in the world; I want you to know that he is caring, gorgeous, and above all, a loving husband." Rose held Jeremy by the shoulder and pecked him on the cheek. She could feel the rage in Jack's eyes, but he was also trying to control it.When Rose and Jeremy had left, Jack and I made our way to their own rooms, with Jack dropping on the bed. His thoughts were occupied by Rose; could it be possible that she had chosen Jeremy over him? Jack knew he had every right to retaliate against his brother for taking Jeremy a
The meeting ended with Jack having to pick Dame, who was given first-hand instructions to join Viola in Russia. The reason Jack had chosen Dame was because of how smart and calculative he was in the face of danger.While he was speaking with Xavier, he watched Rose pass by and looked around to see that Imade had left the living room, which meant he could break out of character and confront her. Rose, on the other hand, went about relating to other members of the family, something she had been advised to do by Image as a way of earning their trust.She learned a lot from some of the members, especially Norman, who was perhaps the only member who took a liking to her so much that he related to her like a sister. Rose was still weary of Priscilla, whom she noticed was particularly quiet in the meeting, which was unlike the loud persona she embodied."Excuse me," Rose stiffened a bit, as there was only one voice that could have much effect on her at the moment. She slowly turned around an
Rose searched around for Jack and nearly leaped in fear as her gaze landed on his. She noticed how expressionless he looked. Could it be that Dame had informed him of her presence in Italy? Could it be that he had taken a liking to Imade? All these thoughts ran around her mind within minutes as she followed Jeremy and sat down.There was a tense silence in the room for the moment; Rose didn't feel too well, she hated the fact that she could not get along with her act, and she needed clean air to calm nerves. She turned and made eye contact with Jeremy, who leaned in to hear what she had to say."Are you sure?" He asked her in a low tone."Yes, I just need to calm my nerves a bit." Jeremy nodded and instructed one of his escorts to watch her as she went out."Greetings everyone! First of all, I want to sincerely apologize for my lack of punctuality, as there are other things I need to attend to. Let us rise and head to the round table for discussion."Jeremy announced"The rules of the
"There was this time when you weren't home that I decided to turn on the television. It turns out that Jack has finally moved on to someone else. I had my doubts at first, but when he said horrific things about me, like how I was just his baby mama, I knew at that point I had made a huge mistake by allowing my feelings for him to take over my sense of reasoning." Rose accompanied her words with some fake tears and watched how Jeremy bought it."I realize now that my feelings mean nothing to him, and if he had any chance, he would dispose of me like a waste bun." Rose took Jeremy's hand and said, "But you, Jeremy, you look like someone who would definitely have my back in the worst circumstances yet to occur; I mean, it takes a foolish woman to not recognize true love when they see it. All these while, I should have noticed that your actions, though some inappropriate, were inappropriate because you loved me."Rose watched as Jeremy looked at her with admiration and loved the stated th
Later that night, Jack didn't want the incident that had occurred the previous night to happen, so he gave imade the excuse of having some paperwork to finish up.When he was alone in his room, there was something he had tried to remember he needed to accomplish. Like a flash, it occurred to him that he had made a mental note to reach out to Jeremy. He picked up his phone and put a call across to Jeremy."Hello?" Jack faltered a bit; the person who had picked up wasn't Jeremy, and the voice sounded familiar."Hey man." Another thing Jack noticed was the fact that there had seemed to be some sort of struggle with the phone before Jeremy's voice surfaced."Yeah, how do you do?" Jack asked."I'm doing great. So why did you call?" Jack noticed how he was stuttering a bit while answering the call."Well, Xavier called earlier this evening and complained bitterly about the Vladimir issue, stating that it needs to be addressed.""I have already told you, Jack, there is nothing to be address
