The sun cast its golden rays over the picturesque scene, bathing Jackson's newly rebuilt house in a warm, radiant glow. It was a day of celebration, of love, and of new beginnings as Fernando and Angela stood before their friends and loved ones, ready to exchange their vows and embark on a journey of matrimony.As the ceremony commenced, Sophia stood by Angela's side as her maid of honor, radiant in her gown adorned with delicate lace and pearls. Jackson, resplendent in his tailored suit, stood proudly beside Fernando as his best man, a steadfast pillar of support for his dear friend.The wedding was a sight to behold, with lush floral arrangements adorning every corner and white satin ribbons fluttering in the gentle breeze. Elizabeth, Charles, Benedict, Stanley Marc, and along with other members of the Blade in Shadows, gathered to witness the union of two souls bound by love and commitment.The ceremony unfolded with grace and elegance, as Angela and Fernando exchanged their hea
"We have been waiting for this so long, boss. Your bank account will be unlocked, and you'll get all your permissions back..." A female voice said with excitement on the phone."I see that, thank you Pamela. " Jackson was in the kitchen cooking when he received Pamela's call. He was preparing a nice candlelight dinner for his wife, Ella.Today, he will share this great news to his wife. He will make her the happiest woman in the world today."Welcome back, king of the world..."Pamela whispered on the phone. ...Ella had been married to Jackson for a few years and he was excited to share the best times of his life with his wife, but recently, she was much more busier than before.She always stayed out late and when she was back, she was always drank. Sometimes, there would be some nice jewelries on her desk, Obviously Jackson could not afford them.But Jackson believed it was because Ella got promoted recently in her company. Tomorrow was his 23rd birthday and it would unleash a new
Ella met Jackson in front of the magistrate court. She was as beautiful as ever, dressed in a fancy blouse and plain black skirt. Her face was contorted in a frown as she saw Jackson on the staircase, waiting for her. "Don't tell me you've changed your mind about this, I'm not willing to waste one more day of my life with a man like you." She mocked, pulled off her sunglasses, and glared at him. Jackson simply stared at her with a pitiful frown, wondering if she had any idea what had changed. "Are you sure you want us to divorce?" He asked and Ella scoffed rudely, asking him if she had anything to lose. "I'm just trying to be sure that this is what you want, Ella, it isn't too late for us to change our mind about this divorce." He said. "And why would I do that?" She asked pointedly, her eyes fixated on him, almost daring him to remind her of why she should stay. Almost forced to tell her why, Jackson decided against it and rather shook his head, "Never mind." He replied. "I
The small crowd gasped as the SUV crashed into Alexander's saloon car and virtually crushed it. Alexander was furious. He looked at his newest ride, it was worth a lot of money. Even if his father was rich and could afford a new one, he knew it would not be so soon, his father would be furious and may never replace the car for him. Alexander stormed to the car to confront the driver and ask for compensation or threaten him. But as he arrived there, he saw that it was a girl in front of the car and she was the most beautiful creature he'd seen in a very long time. Ella paled in comparison to her. "Oh," he simply said as the girl stared at him almost daringly. Alexander was lost for words, he did not know what to say to her anymore despite his initial anger at her reckless driving. He smiled sheepishly and tried to act like the car was nothing."What is it?" She asked rudely despite crashing his car, she didn't look apologetic at all. "There's no need for compensation, I'm sure we
"This is madness!" Ella screamed foolishly as she watched the flames engulf the boxes. She was furious and she glared at Pamela threateningly. "You have no idea what you've just done! You don't know who you are__" Pamela sneered at her, "Last time I checked, you aren't anyone significant." She snapped and then waved her aside like she didn't matter. "He isn't in my class! You can have him for all I care, I have a better man by my side."Ella retorted with a glare. Even as she spoke, she knew all too well that Pamela was way above her league, and the bags she'd just burnt to spite her could very well change her entire wardrobe. "I think that's ironic, you are not in his league." Pamela replied offhandedly, she swayed to Jackson, "Come on, let us go." She said and invited him to the car. Jackson followed without a second glance at Ella and they drove off speedily. As the duo drove off, Ella stomped and cursed, embarrassed at the entire scene. She wondered how Jackson co
Jackson decided to ignore her rude behavior, it was after all that last time he would have to with her stoic and cold attitude. He also entered Sophia's office and shut the door. She turned to him with a frown as she saw him inside. She wondered what he was doing, was she trying to ask for more bonus, or had that display for the fat man put some ideas in his head about actually asking her out? "You don't have to follow me like you're a lost puppy, I said I will give you a bonus for what you did out there and I will add that to your salary at the end of the month." She snapped impatiently and lifted her beautiful face to glare at him. "Now leave, I have work to do and you're interfering." Jackson shook his head calmly and replied, "I am not here to ask for the bonus." She frowned, wondering if the few seconds of affection display could have gotten into his head and given him stupid ideas about actually being with her. "Then what are you doing here?" She snapped arrogant
Jackson laughed at her words, he found her tantrum amusing and he could not wait to prove to her that she was wrong. He walked to her and lifted her chin with his fingers. He knew how lowly she thought of him and her status as the boss of the company made her unable to believe that he could help the company in any way. Sophia was shocked at his actions, he knew him only as a lowly worker, a loser, and a coward, how could he dare to speak nonsense and then touch her? What was he up to and when did he grow the balls to address her so casually? With a cocky smile, he said, "I accept your terms, you have got yourself a deal." He said. "You can go ahead and transfer the money you need." "Put your hands off me, you have no idea what you're talking about, get out of my office, Jackson." She snapped. "Are you going back on your words so soon?" He asked, arching his brows. Sophia bared her teeth at him and slammed her fist on the table, angry at what he'd just said. "I do
Jackson looked at Sophia, his smirk still intact, he could see her shocked expression and he was amused because she was dumbfounded. "So, when do we go to register for our marriage? Do you have any location in mind? Color?" He asked with an amused smile. Sophia was not aware of all he said, she was so shocked that her mind wandered far from the present. How could Jackson possibly have so much money and also own such an exclusive card? Who was he? Why did he want to give her so much money? She wondered silently. Jackson waved a hand at her face and finally snapped her out of her reverie. Sophia snapped out of it with a jerk and looked at him curiously. "I'm asking when you would love our wedding to be held, remember what you promised earlier." He asked with a cocky smile. Sophia blushed, she didn't know what to say in response. She looked down at her desk and almost admitted that she was only joking because she could not believe that he had such an amount of mone
