"The Watson and the Malloy were working on a deal that would make a breakthrough in their business. Your dad backstabbed the Malloys and took everything. He even went to the extent of framing them for illegal activities, which led to the Malloy family leaving the country for their safety.Even before that, our family had been one of the tops in the country but with little influence. We have an excellent standing in the country, which the Malloy family threatens." Mrs. Watson finished and looked at her son before sighing"Are you sure that's all?" I asked, looking at her, feeling skeptical about everything she said"It is?" she patted my leg before leaving the room. I have never seen her like that. She looked devastated and downcast. It seemed everything was tearing her apart. But sometimes, I don't even know when she tells the truth or fakes it. Everyone had gone out, and I had a lot on my mind. I could not help but think of Jane and the baby. I felt something was pulling my heart ou
“ You are not going there.” She said in a commanding tone. I looked at her, smirking. I didn’t even bother to let her in“ If I do, what are you going to do?” I threw a question back at her, closing the door behind me“ I will bring down your family. You will not believe it.” she proclaimed proudly. She looked like someone with princess syndrome I didn’t realize she had.“ Watch me,” I retorted, walking right past her towards my car. I opened and drove out of the compound, leaving her standing there. I don’t know why the security could let her in as she wanted. I made a point to take care of the issue when I came back.It didn’t take too long to be there is the burial. The whole family was there with two caskets in the field with flowers and pictures on top. I could see the smiling Jane in the photo. Seeing the casket made my heart drop. I took steps towards the field where everyone was but was stopped by four men in black.“ I want to say bye to my wife and kid” I tried to go past
In the next few months, things were crazy for me. I could work but still, miss my wife a lot. Sometimes I could go through her phone and go through the video I made to her. I remembered the events of that day like it was only yesterday. The video brought her face to me, and I could see sincere emotions on her face, her voice, and her smile. "I James Watson. The future husband of Jane Smith. Promise to be faithful, protective, and loving to Jane and her alone. If I fail on these, she is free to punish me whoever she wants.""Perfect. You have said it yourself," she said, saving the video on her phone.Each time I looked at the video, I felt like a failure. I didn't fulfill the promise I had made to her. But the punishment she was giving me was too much. Sometimes it's good to know she left me and is still alive somewhere than knowing she is dead. I can't see her, feel her, touch her. The feeling was terrible. It had been more than a year, but the vents of her death were a nightmare fo
It has been five years, many things have changed, and new figures appeared all over the country. The Martinez family is taking over the business world. The Dawn family is taking the political world. The Smith family is taking over the defense of the country. The Mallow family competes with Watson over the business market and is suppressed by Martinez. Things were not going well for me. Well, I can't say anything. Ever since the death of Jane, things have not been the same. It seemed she had more than just herself.Recently, Loli Rolland appeared in my life. I can't say I am not attracted to that changed person. She has something in her that resembles Jane. Sometimes I see her and think of Jane. Over the years, her family had scandals, and they blamed Jane for it. Though they didn't say it outrightly, they showed it. I investigated to see if they had anything to do with her death, but they were not. They were too busy dealing with their issues to meddle with mine. The only people that
He was the man we trusted the most: Leo, My dad's bodyguard and the man very close to Jane before. My head was spinning like crazy.Why would he do something like that? Why would he want to kill my dad? I didn't wait for the police to come and approach the bloody body. He was gulping and blood quenching from his mouth. I didn't bother much coldness taking over me. I reached into his pocket, searching for him. I wanted everything I could find that would tell me why he was and who he was working with.The people pointed at me and called the police, but I was too busy to even bother with them. I found a cellphone and a folded piece of paper. I left the scene as soon as I confirmed he had nothing else on him. I heard the police siren as soon as I took a corner but didn't look back. Thinking of what brought me to the hospital, I didn't go back in but went to my home with Jane. It has been years since I went there. I always reach the gate and go back. I guess I never really dared to enter.
Well, my sister was the happiest when she married James. Things were great until Cynthia and the evil mother-in-law interfered in their relationships. So many times, I went to see her, but she would smile and say everything was great. As long as James was treating her right, nothing else mattered.My dad had been talking about allowing her to take over the family business, but it was too late before they could talk about it. The day my sister went into labor, I had a meeting arranged by dad with some of his old friends. He was slowly introducing me to the family business. I liked it a lot and wanted to be close to my family.Though I had my own thing going on, I had to help out at home.I rushed as soon as possible and met a weird and disturbing scene at the hospital. My sister was begging for her kid, and some insane woman was holding a kid, pointing a gun. It was terrible. My heart skipped with the heartfelt cries of my sister. She looked like she could die. It pained me to see he
"She will eventually move on," I said and excused myselfI went to James's room and found the woman Cynthia Malloy with him. She was threatening him with the lives of my sister and the Kid. I was angry, but I tried to curb it. It was weird what I was feeling at that time. I wanted to go in and give him a few blows on his face, but then again, I refrained from doing soI knew he was giving in to the pressure because he didn't remember anything and didn't want to put them in danger. I didn't tell anyone what was happening.I went to arrange a few things outside and waited for them to do everything else. It was also because I wanted to have time to be alone. Think and strategize. I tried to get the Malloy family out of the picture. Also, I wanted to protect Jane no matter the cost.I thought of letting her and dad know everything after we got home. Jane had insisted on going home with the Kid and us after signing the divorce papers. I can say it was also dad who insisted on it. There was
"Oh, no, no-no." I saw the car down there. The window screen was thrown way back on the other side. The side door of the back of the car was thrown on a different side. A team was carrying two bodies wrapped in a black body bag. I threw the shawl down and ran towards the body"Sir. You ant be here," one of the people carrying the body said to be in a stern voice"I have to see them. They are my family," I said in an inaudible tone. They looked at each other and allowed me. I opened one of the bags with my shaking hands. My legs almost gave wayI opened it slowly, but the face I saw was a man's. It was not dad nor Jane. That made me open the next bag even faster. But the body was not of them. Looking closer, I could see the lady. It was Ruth. The new bodyguard assigned to Jane"Where are they?" I asked hysterically"Who?""My dad. They were together." I said, looking around. I could see blood all over the ground and the car. What disturbed me the most was when something hit me. I rushe
