Jeremy was devastated; he began packing his things to leave. He regretted ever meeting the cloned man by the roadside, who had proclaimed that he was the chairman.While he was packing up, Rose opened the door and came in. Seeing him packing, the message was clear enough: Jeremy has been fired."Rose, I need you to believe me; it was a huge mistake. I never thought for one second that this would backfire on me." Rose felt emphatic for him."I understand, but then again, this is a big country, and there are so many scammers around. These people would study a situation and then put themselves in a position where they would honestly believe that they were doing the right thing, not knowing they were just fooling around." He began to mutter curses at the one who had scammed him."Listen, Jeremy, I need you to understand that I don't for a second wish you had; I was just disappointed earlier on. And if there is anything I wish for you above all, it is to find a better job," she indicated,
Rose was going back home after a hard time at the company. So many things were on her mind as she moved along the expressway.The fact that Jeremy had been treated in such a manner showed that the company had no atom of sympathy for their staff. She wasn't surprised, as the deputy chairman herself had no say over anything that went on in the company; after all, it was all centralized.While she moved along the road, she noticed a black Mustang car behind her, and due to previous events, she began to accelerate the speed of the CSR but became alarmed when the Mustang was also speeding up to catch up with her.She hurriedly took out her phone, and the first person that came to her mind to call was none other than Jack.With one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the phone, she searched through her phone for his number, which popped up immediately.While she was about to make the call, she watched from her rearview mirror as the black Mustang came to stand right in front of her.
Lady Alina was beyond shocked to see Jeff standing before her, hale and healthy. The smile he had on his face, seeing the reaction of his grandma's friend was everything."How are you still alive" Lady Alina asked again as Jeff approached the table. "Its a long story grandma, I happened to have flew all the way from D Country down to this place and when I heard that you will be calling for a meeting today, I took it upon myself to come here" He explained in a heart beat."Still haven't told me how you are alive Jeff? I mean we heard you died in that car crash" "But you didn't check for the body" Jeff replied"Uhmm.... Well, the fire was too much, and there was no way we could recover your body amidst that situation," Lady Alina commented."Anyways, I was never in that car. I was bored of having to use my Rolls-Royce Phantom and decided to go with the Ferrari instead. When I heard about the crash situation, I decided to keep everyone in doubt about my existence, went to D.C., and star
It was a beautiful day for Colonel Sam, and he was headed to a restaurant to grab some good food. After he was stripped of his position, he became a real businessman, and although the models of business he dealt in were illegal, he liked everything about the business.When he arrived at the restaurant, he went straight to the counter to get his favorite meal of pasta. While he was cashing in the money for the food, his eyes landed on someone he wasn't expecting to see."Uhmm, sir, your change." The lady by the counter handed him the money, but his attention was glued to Rose."Impossible," he muttered, picking out his phone to make a call."Good day, boss.""You imbecile! I thought you said you finished the job?" he asked, lowering his voice so as not to be heard by the people around.Sir, what are you talking about?"I am talking about the fact that you imbeciles didn't even kill Rose. I happened to be at the restaurant at this very moment, and I am seeing her with someone.""Maybe sh
Those four words dealt Jack a heavy blow, and he stared at his wife in shock. Rose never asked for this."You quit?"""Yes, Jack, I quit. I want to be free from the shackles of these feelings. Rose remarked."But why are you doing this?" Jack's voice was beginning to break as he spoke."Don't you get it? You are poor, a really broke dude, and above all, you have nothing to show aside from your bicycle. This alone is sufficient reason for me to leave. Take a look at your twin brother Jeremy; he was fired from work, and he got another the next day. Ever since his arrival in Aliyah's life, I can categorically say that things have not been the same for them." Jack was sad that he could not reveal his identity to Rose just yet. If only she were aware that he was the one who secured the job for Jeremy."So Jack, I need to know when this rubbish should be over. Consent to my request because I quit." Rose demanded, waiting for a response from him."Are you seriously going to do this, Rose?" J
Rose was in the office when she received a call from Jeff: "Hey, how are you doing?" She asked, dropping a file she had just gone through."You never told me that you were in love with an insane man. Rose was taken aback by the comments, and though she didn't take them seriously, she was curious to know what happened."Why the comments?""So I went to check up on you this morning and found your so-called lover by the door. When I told him about us, he simply chased me out of the apartment with a piece of plywood. The worst of this situation is the fact that I didn't even look at the damage he caused to the side mirror of my car." Rose was shocked by what she was hearing; this would be the first time Jeff was reacting that way to her."I am really sorry," she pleaded."Better tame that beast of a man; my Rolex watch could be his entire existence." Rose noticed the pride and arrogance he used in talking to her."Tell you what, how about I meet you at
Everyone witnessing what Rose was saying was a shock. Jack was the most shocked; it was as though he was seeing a movie with a twist."What are you talking about Rose, I cherish you and you know that" Jeff tried to get hold of her hand but she flinched back in disgust."I have seen it all Jeff, You think I would forget how you treated me back then in college. Yes, I suddenly thought I had feelings for you, but seeing the potential danger involved, I knew you would leave me empty, broken, and above all useless" Jack was still speechless, watching as the drama unfolded."How can you say this Rose, I did not know that you would eventually......." Rose held him right there, she knew the next words he was going to say and was not ready to hear any of it.She approached Jack, a smile on her face seeing the confusion that graced his face, while he was watching the whole drama."I really got you there didn't I?" She asked "All this while, you were only pranking me," Jack asked realizing the e
When Rose and Jack got back inside, the latter wasted no time in diving into the kitchen to make dinner for the both of them.While he was adding some finishing touch to it, he heard Rose shout his name and he rushed to go and answer her."So basically, there is this uhmmm hangout tomorrow that I want you to come with me" Jack tried to assume he was dreaming, This was the first time that Rose would want to take him out and seeing that it was somewhere big, he was surprised by her decision."So uhmm..... it is a formal event and I just want to know if you still have that tuxedo you borrowed from your rich friend the other time" Jack smile within; if only she knew that he could get the most expensive tuxedo around."Sure, I can get the tuxedo for this great occasion, I am really thrilled that you are inviting me" Rose smiled seeing the excitement of her husband."You deserve it, after all I put you through for the past days, you deserve it" Jack could not deny that he went through so mu
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
