“ I want to know more about Cynthia and her family. Help me dig out the information,” I asked him. At first, he hesitated and then turned as cold as he always had“ Okay.” He answered“Nobody should know I am alive. Don’t even think of telling your evil brother.” I changed my demeanor thinking of James and everything he had caused in my life“ Don’t worry. I paid my allegiance to you back then. Even family has to pay for the wrong done,” he answered before I ended the call.Thinking of what Jerry just told me, it was evident that man had tried to protect me from whoever was looking for me.In the next few weeks, I started doing exercises to make my body strong and stop thinking too much. I felt the pressure was too much and needed release. Sometimes, I would do it for hours that a certain man would forcefully stop me. I always found it irritating, but I had to stop.I had been following on Cynthia lately. With the information I got from Jerry, things are not simple with the Malloy fam
Sitting in a private room in the five star hotel, I was listening to my new business partner. I sat lazily in the chair while listening to the chirping voices of the people in the room. I felt bored. Their business idea was not what I was looking for. I then turned to look outside the door and back inside.I turned again real quick to have a proper look. I seem to have caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by the door. Thinking it to be a figment of my imagination, I turned back to look at the people in the room. Then it hit me. No! is that Jane?I didn’t hear what the others said in the room but I saw their shocked expression. I stood up fast and run towards the direction I saw Jane going to. I followed the corridor and found two paths. On was going towards the bathroom and the other towards the other VIP rooms. I knew for a fact she doesn’t use shared washrooms. So she must’ve gone to the other VIP section.I ran and saw her standing in a room holding something in her hand
With too much information thrown at me, I couldn’t know who was telling the truth or not. I could not remember anything about the woman ‘Jane’. Even so, there were things that were not under my control.After she came in in her wheelchair and her dad and signed the divorce, I could not help but hesitate to sign them. But my mum had said lots of things to me that I felt it was better to let her go. Probably I would have a chance to make it up to her.There were too much at stake. The Watson family was at stake of losing everything. The Malloy family were threating us. That was what my mum said and I proved true when Cynthia said few disturbing thingsI could remember her words“ You know, bringing the Watson family down is not hard for me.” She said moving towards me her finger tracing the line of the bed coming fowards. She wore a black pants and a white shirt with an upper body tight jacket. She looked different from what I knew years ago.Though I lost my memories, I still had my se
"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.
