Rose noticed Jack had been tossing in bed all night, and she couldn’t help but wonder if it had anything to do with the announcement that was made.“Babe, are you still awake?” She asked in a low tone, as Alonso was also asleep."Yeah," Jack's grumpy reply.“What seems to be the issue?” She inquired as she began drawing imaginary circles around his muscular chest while laying her head across his heart area, hearing his heartbeat.“Of course you know what the problem is. You saw what happened earlier today at the table; I can’t believe that my father will boycott the law of the family that has been existing since time immemorial and make his own decision.” Rose could feel the frustration in his tone as he spoke.“You need to calm down, Jack; regardless of what happened today, I want you to know that Alonso and I are here for you,” she explained.“I know, and I will always appreciate that fact. I am just bothered that the downfall of the Elite is looming with Jeremy as leader.” Rose raised her
“What is the problem?” Priscilla asked upon noticing the gloomy countenance of her son who had entered the living room.“What would you do in a situation where you love somebody but then there is a huge hurdle on the way stopping you from getting this person” Priscilla was thrown off balance with the question. “Well what do you think your father would do?” Priscilla asked, looking at his son.“Father would go for it, he would break through the hurdles and get what he wants in a heartbeat and without a sweat” He replied.“Exactly son! Now I want you to know that being a leader comes with lots of responsibility and one of them is being able to do what you feel is right. I want you to understand something, these people, every one of them isn’t happy that you are the leader” Priscilla pointed out to his son.“Really?” Jeremy asked in disbelief.“Yes! I mean look at the face of Antonio when Brahim announced you as the leader of the family. He was filled with Envy and what of Jack? He could
His phone began to ring again, causing him to look up the number, which was an unknown contact. He hesitated before picking up.“I am back!” The feminine voice, which Jack mostly resented, spoke through the other end.“How the fuck did they allow you out of the asylum?" Jack asked.“Don’t be like this, Jack. I should expect that you celebrate my return with me, but then your wife is home,” Sofia said in her last statement with a tone of resentment. “Can we meet and talk?” She asked further.“There is nothing to talk about, Sofia; stay clear of my path,” Jack warned.“Oh dear! Jack, you hurt my feelings. But it is okay; you don’t want us to talk? Well then, I put it to you that you will find me and will want to have a talk with me,” Sofia remarked before hanging up.“Boss, the ride is ready." Jack got up from the bed and headed out to the kitchen to meet his wife.“Rose, I need you to get Alonso with you; you are leaving for Spain,” he instructed.“Leaving for Spain? What is going on, J
Rose heard a door open, and she heard the sound of footsteps approaching her. She could detect that whoever had entered was wearing a heavy boot, judging from the sound. Suddenly, light flicked, and she had to shut her eyes tight as she tried to adjust to the rays of the light. When her eyes were finally getting used to the light, she scanned through her environment to notice she was in some sort of room, judging from the fact that it had a bed. Her eyes immediately went to the presence of the person who had turned on the lights. He wore black from head to toe; he was masked in black. Rose could not help but also notice that he had hair, as she had deduced it from the strands coming out of the mask."Who are you, and what do you want from me?" She asked the man, who ignored her as though she weren't in the room."Please don't hurt me; I beg you, I didn't do anything. If it is money you want, my husband has lots of it, please, I beg you." She went on and on rambling, but the man ignore
Jack had arrived back at his house after a hectic day; he still looked miserable and dejected over Rose's absence. The death of Vladimir had been announced right before him, and he knew without a doubt that war was coming, but he wasn't concerned because he believed Jeremy would work it out. His phone began to ring, and he checked it to see an unknown caller. Jack wondered why people called him these days with strange numbers."It seems a lot has been happening with you lately. So sorry about your wife anyway."Jack's mood deflated as he recognized the voice."What do you want?" He asked."Don't be like this now; is that how to respond to a simple greeting from your wife?""You are not my wife! Rose is," Jack shouted at her."Hold your horses, big boy; stop being a bitch on the phone.""If you don't have anything reasonable to say, I would be hanging up.""Hold up! I actually have something to say. It is in regards to your missing wife." Jack sat upright. "What is it? You know who did
Jack wondered why Sofia had picked this location an old building with no one living in it. He had always found reason to believe that Sofia was a psycho, and this was exactly the evidence to prove his point."You really never change from the ideology of being punctual; you held up," he said. He turned and saw Sofia all dressed up in black matching clothing. Jack thought of the character Black Widow in the Avengers movie when he saw her look."So what is it you want to tell me about Rose? Hurry up; I have no time to spare," he asked, checking his Rolex watch."You will have enough time to spare after this, I assure you," she clapped her hands, and three masked men came out from nowhere, circulating Jack. He heard a childlike cry and turned to see a fourth masked man holding Alonso in his hand. He wanted to reach out to him, but they held him down with a gun pointed at his son."You stupid bitch! It was you all along. Where is Rose?"He asked with resentment for her."That isn't part of
The few days in Italy had been terrible days for Rose; Jack was notably absent from the house and hired a female escort to watch over her. Even as she would later know she was to be called, she was nowhere near Viola, her previous bodyguard, and was a witch in disguise; she was irritating and annoying, and above all, she was always looking at Rose as though in a few seconds she would escape. On this particular day, she had tucked in Alonso to sleep and decided to head down stairs to check the latest buzz in the entertainment world when she came across a strange channel with Jack's face as the guest for the show. She was beyond shocked to see Imade standing side by side with him. She settled down on the couch and watched on as the show commenced."Welcome to our show, Mr. and Mrs. Jack," said the presenter, whom Rose would eventually know as Linda introduced them."Great to have us on the show; I mean, we never thought we would be honored, but either way, it is great to be here," Imade r
When Jeremy and Rose arrived, the event seemed to have already started, as the guests seemed to have all arrived earlier than they had. Stepping out of the limousine, Jeremy was dressed in a black turtleneck covered with a stylish designer trench coat. He had picked this style of fashion because he was fed up with the conventional tuxedo that people usually wear to grace an occasion.He entwined his arms with Rose, who looked nothing above spectacular in her dress. She wore a black gown that had a marble-like design carved on its fabric. Rose was certain that this outfit would cost a fortune. She wasn't interested in even coming for this show, but because she was under contract to meet up as Jeremy's wife, she had to grace the occasion. It was somehow ironic to believe that a few years ago, it was Jack who had been offered to be his wife, and now his stepbrother is doing the same. Though she would pick Jack ten times over Jeremy not because of their features but because there was so
