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
"It's good to see you again, son." Priscilla exclaimed, hugging Jack, "You don't look your happy self." She exclaimed, noticing the gloomy countenance of her son."You really believe I will be happy knowing you orchestrated all this shite happening? Why Priscilla? Why did you choose to ruin my life? To ruin Rose's life, what has that girl ever done to you?"Priscilla sighed, taking her seat on the couch."I was only trying to do you a favor, Jack; that girl was no good for you!" Jack chuckled, taking his seat opposite her."Where is she right now?" Priscilla didn't answer the question; she pretended to be watching the movies."Answer me, dammit! Where the fuck are Rose and my son?" Jack was seeing red at the moment. He knew Priscilla was keeping them hostage."I don't think I will want to tell you where she is; I will remind you that you have a contract with Imade, and I hope you are aware that if you screw up, you will not only lose your beloved wife but also your son." Jack stood up
"I think you overwork yourself too much. Jack's voice brought him back to reality from the pile of documents on his table. Apparently, he couldn't go to work; he wanted to distract himself from the situation at hand and so decided to run some paperwork he had abandoned for days and weeks.Jack had been so engrossed in his work that he didn't know the time had gone by so quickly; thus, when Imade's voice brought him back to reality, he was naturally weak and tired."Here, have a glass of wine." I handed a glass to him. Jack didn't hesitate before he gulped the entire drink, and it felt really good. After some minutes, he began to feel dizzy. Holding his head up, he noticed the smirk on Imade's face."You bitch! What did you do to my drink?" he managed to say as he saw white dots appearing in his vision before his eyes began to twitch."Don't worry, Jack; I didn't poison you, but instead, the pill will make you sexually inclined. I am starving sexually, and I need you. Knowing the type
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
