Jack had decided to come visit Rose at her friend's house, hoping that she would at least hear him out yet again.When he arrived, he knocked on the door, and it was immediately opened by Aliyah, who had shock written across her face. She didn't believe for a second that the man standing before her was Jack."What happened to your face?" she asked."I did surgery," he stated with ease, still surprised that she was looking at him with the same reaction."Uhmm. Is Rose at home? Jack asked, and it got Aliyah back to her senses again, and she nodded her head, saying no."Uncle Jack? Uncle Jack!" Mahbed came running into his arms. Jack picked him up and ruffled his hair in a playful manner."How have you been, little one?" he asked as Aliyah looked at them with such a smile on her face. She was happy to see her son bonding with someone who wasn't her. Mahbed was the type that doesn't easily bond with people. However, seeing that he was happy made her elated too."Uncle Jack, will you be sta
Rose knew that her actions would hurt Jack, but she didn't care, as she presumed that he deserved it all."So, who was that man?" Sam asked as they moved along the lonely road."The serving boy in my family," she muttered, not too loudly, but Sam was able to catch up with the word she had said."I find it funny that you come and visit someone as broke and miserable as a wretched serving boy." Rose had a scowl on her face upon hearing Sam refer to Jack, someone she couldn't deny her feelings for, as 'wretched.'"He is not wretched," she replied."Easy there, tiger; I understand, and I was just teasing you." There was a comfortable silence afterwards."Where are you taking me?" Rose asked, suddenly realizing she had passed her street."Well, you, my dear, are coming with me on a date," he simply indicated."A date?" "Yes, my dear, a date."As Sam turned on the ignition of his car, Rose's mind was preoccupied with all that had been said between herself and Jack. She hated the fact that s
Later on, Jack got the report and was surprised to see how reputable he was; however, not withstanding his reputation, Colonel Sam was never bigger than him, and that was a fact. He picked up his phone and called Sanchez."Yeah, I need you to tell your men to do a check on where he is currently; I think I need to show him where his place belongs," Jack instructed Sanchez.The date with Colonel Sam was really boring, but Rose had no choice but to stay till it ended. She is presently on her way home in his car. A comfortable silence has been in place for a while, with Sam on his phone making a call to someone."So, I believe you had a nice time," Sam said, finally breaking the silence."Yeah, I guess." She mumbled those words, but again, Sam caught up to them. When they finally arrived at her apartment, before she could get the door open, Sam decided to have a small conversation with her about his intentions to consummate her marriage."I have said it times without number: I have a love
Maximus was literally shaking as he stared down at Sanchez, who had helped him get to where he was today."Please, Jack, help me beg him."He turned to look at Jack, who was still visibly angry at the fact that they had made him bleed."Absolutely no way in hell; I would not beg him, and you must face the wrath that would fall on you." He gave approval to Sanchez, who turned to look at his men and made signals for them to attack him.They beat him to a stupor as the rest of the soldiers watched in shock. They could literally do nothing, as all their allegiance lay with Sanchez, who was being beaten.After minutes of aggressive beatings, Sanchez was losing consciousness when the men stopped."This should serve as a lesson to you; next time, know your place, boy," Jack said, getting down on his knees to stare at the bloodied man."And as for he that sent you, I want you to know that when the right time comes, I will visit his own case," Jack indicated and stood up to leave.After he was
She looked at the sleeping figure, picked up her bag, and walked out of the house.She was heading towards Jack's house, and when she arrived, she was not impressed by the apartment she was seeing. Lady Alina was certain that it was Rose who had built it and not the poor, wretched serving boy.Jack, on the other hand, was shocked to see Lady Alina standing by the door, and though he resented her, he still had some iota of respect for the old woman."This is the injunction letter obtained from rose, you both weren't legally married but you had something. She has consented to breaking things up with you and eventually staying away from you. I need you to sign the other part, and young man, I don't want you making a mess about this situation," she stated, handing over the document to him to read.Jack stared at the paper with teary eyes. Was Rose truly breaking things up with him? He asked himself. He had never believed a day like this would come when she had to do this to him."I am the
"Are you chasing me out?Of course, and I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again! Our friendship ends here and here alone." Aliyah sighed, opened the door of the car, and left.Immediately after she dropped down and closed the door, Rose turned on the car's ignition and sped off instantly.***Rose was at work, and she was clearly avoiding Ella. The thought of having to verbally abuse Ella was all she had in mind if she eventually crossed paths with her.While she was sorting out some documents, she heard a knock at the door, and she prayed and hoped silently that it was not Ella. Adjusting her clothing, she approached the door, and when she opened it, she was surprised to see Sandra by the door."Well, hello, cousin." Sandra had one of the most beautiful smiles in the world. Rose sighed and stepped aside for her to step in."Wow, is this what having to work with Bighall Company entails?" Sandra asked, her breath taken away by the beauty of Rose's office."What brings y
Colonel Sam didn't say anything but stare at Sandra; he couldn't believe that a lady would have the audacity to talk to him the way Sandra was speaking."I said what I said, and I am not taking it back." Sandra stood firm with her words."So you have chosen death, young lady?" Colonel Sam asked"You want to prove what I have already said: that you are no more or less of a man." Sam stood up and closed the inch between Sandra and him."Listen very well here, young lady; I don't want to come on you, seeing that you are very beautiful, and though not like Rose, I still like beautiful women." Sandra didn't take the compliment but simply hissed and went her way."I am sorry for whatever she said; she is kind of rough around the edges at the moment," Lady Alina pleaded."That is none of my business; what I am interested in is whether or not Rose will be coming or if you are hiding something else from me," he asked, staring curiously at Lady Alina, who had her head down, couldn't bring herse
On getting close to Jack's apartment, she noticed that the men were drawing back, and she used that as an advantage by going into one hundred and twenty in terms of speed.Upon reaching Jack's apartment, she was glad that he was inside the house, judging from the bicycle he had packed across the house.Jack was having his nap when he heard a knock at the door. He usually didn't receive visitors, so he stepped out to check who it was.The moment he laid eyes on Rose, he was shocked to see her. He pinched himself, hoping he wasn't dreaming."Uhmmm... Can I stay over for some days? I will give you the details." She stated "Sure... sure... sure you can... uhm... come in." Jack was clumsy as he helped her with the bag she had in her hand.Rose was impressed with the fact that Jack had been able to maintain his house and make it look good. "So what happened?" Jack asked, remembering the nervousness he had seen on her face when he had opened the door for her."It's Sam""And what did he do
