Chapter 67: SchemesJack was silent. He didn't know what to say or how to respond. His sister was really asking him to pick sides. He was still so confused on how it got to this."Can you even hear yourself?" Jake asked as he walked away from Sexianna. "Your asking me to stab Mr Nobody in the back. Do you have any idea what he could do to us! What he could do to you if he finds out that you've been a traitor all this time." Jake said as he ran his hands through his hair in frustration."He can't do anymore to us not while Drake is around. I promise you'll always have his protection. You just have...""No I can't." Jake cut Sexianna off. "What your asking me to do is just to much. You have no Idea who your messing with. Sexianna I can't believe you put yourself in the middle of all this." "I was always in the middle I didn't put myself there. Just meet him maybe then you'll understand." Sexianna cried."Why did you do all this Anna. You didn't even tell all this time." Jake said sa
"I love you sister very much. Whether you believe it or not is up to you." Drake Lockman told Jake Sexianna brother. "You expect me to believe that you love my sister? I know you were just using her to get inside information about Mr Nobody." Jake said not believing a word Drake was saying. The man didn't look like a person worth trusting. Jake wondered how Sexianna fell for his tricks."She volunteered to all that. I didn't force her.""She said you told her that Jeremy killed your brother." "He did.""And why should I believe that?" "Believe it or not. It is the truth. And you don't have to worry, I'm not asking for your help. I'm only asking you to stay out of my way. If not for your sister I would have probably killed you for just working for that bastard. Just don't interfere in my business and you'll be fine."Jake scoffed. " I could just walk up to him and tell him everything." "Yes. You could. But your sister has already done that." Drake Lockman said with an evil smirk
Mellisa and Jeremy sat together in his garden in the arms of each other. They looked so good together. It had been a while since they've been together.Mellisa had been terribly happy since she and Jeremy had be together. Everything had been moving so smoothly. It felt to good to be true. The idea of being loved once again felt so sureSurreal. She was happy yet she feared deep down that it might not end well just like her last relationship. She loved Jeremy so much and hoped it won't turn out that way."I have a suprise for you." Jeremy said as he caressed Mellisa cheeks. "Again. Jeremy you have to stop this." Melissa said with a slight frown. She hated the fact that Jeremy always bought her gifts and took her to suprise dates. Don't get her wrong she adored the gestures and loved how he made her feel special but. She guessed he thought a true relationship was built up with gifts and suprises, which it absolutely not true. She just wished he would understand. "I don't see anything
Gregory Adams stepped into SiTech, his first visit to the renowned establishment. He had always held an eager curiosity to meet its enigmatic owner, as his foolish son had spoken so highly of the man, praising his genius and warning against underestimating him. As Gregory entered, a sharply dressed figure in a sleek black suit approached him, gesturing silently for him to follow. Together, they entered the elevator, ascending to the top floor in silence. It was only then, when they reached their destination, that the suited man turned to face Gregory, delivering a subtle warning. "He is waiting for you inside. I advise caution with your words." Gregory couldn't help but scoff inwardly. Did this man have any inkling of the individual he was addressing? If anything, caution should be exercised in addressing someone of his own stature. Undeterred, Gregory strode into the office. Inside, a man sat behind the desk, draped in a black suit. His formidable presence exuded an aura that could
"We come to you now with breaking news. Owner and founder of the Adams association, Gregory Adams, was found dead this morning. Witnesses say he had died naturally and..." Jeremy switched off the TV, the news report serving as a stark reminder of the inevitable. He placed the remote on the table before him and reclined on the sofa, his posture radiating a sense of dominance. Yet, his almond-shaped eyes betrayed a hidden turmoil within. Just then, Lucas, Jeremy's trusted right-hand man, entered the room dressed in black. He glanced at Jeremy, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, questioning the presence of the visitor. "Sir, he's here," Lucas informed, silently pondering the significance of this meeting. "Let him in," Jeremy replied, and a young man walked in, donning a friendly smile as he approached the sofa where Jeremy sat. "May I sit?" the man asked, and Jeremy nodded in assent. The man took a seat opposite Jeremy, initiating the conversation. "Thank you," he began, a touch of gra
Melissa exchanged a knowing smile with Tommy. This marked the fourth time he had deliberately spilled coffee on her, attempting to provoke a reaction. However, Melissa maintained her composure, flashing her customary smile and wordlessly making her way into Sasha Arts Studio. As an artist, Melissa's position at Sasha Arts Studio was delicate. The scales of her professional life hung in a precarious balance. Any misstep or loss of equilibrium could jeopardize the new life she had painstakingly built, something she was determined to protect. Ignoring Tommy's antics as she had done on previous occasions, Melissa gracefully entered the ladies' room to freshen up. Melissa Williams was an ex-convict charged with an accidental murder three years ago. After serving her time, she was now striving to embrace a new life and leave her past behind. Emerging from the restroom, her efforts to remove the coffee stain evident, Melissa caught the sound of someone calling her name. "Melissa." She t
"Do you think he'll agree to it?" Steve inquired. "Absolutely. It's an enticing deal. Why would he pass on it?" Tony confidently responded. Steve furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "Couldn't we have chosen a more impressive location for the meeting?" "Jeremy rarely leaves his house, so I thought an enchanting evening at an art exhibition would be a refreshing change for him," explained Tony. "Refreshing?" Steve scoffed. "How is an art exhibition refreshing? It's just a gathering of pretentious individuals staring at paintings, trying to decipher abstract concepts that nobody truly comprehends." "Just because it may not be your cup of tea, Steve, doesn't mean others won't find it engaging," Tony retorted, his attention focused on navigating the road. They were en route to Jeremy's Estate on the outskirts of the city. Steve and Tony were among the handful of close friends Jeremy had. Steve possessed an exuberant and outgoing personality, while Tony emanated a calm and composed
Melissa had everything ready for the party, thanks to the helpful staff members Sasha had hired. It seemed that the woman didn't dislike her as much as she initially thought. Just as Melissa was immersed in her preparations, her phone vibrated in her pocket. She retrieved it and saw Nicky's name on the caller ID. Curious, she answered the call. "Hey Nicky, what's up?" Melissa greeted her friend. "Where are you??" Nicky's voice came urgently from the other end of the line. "I'm at work, as I told you this morning. You know I have to make sure everything is ready before tonight's party." "Yeah, I know that, and that's why I'm calling. Remember, you were supposed to meet me and Sam to pick out a dress for the party," Nicole reminded her, excitement evident in her voice. "Well, just pick one for me. I still have to supervise some things over here." "Alright, but don't blame me if I choose something you don't like," Nicky giggled mischievously. Before Melissa could say anything else,
