Billionaires Don't Love 23. Catch up
Jack drove through the beautiful brightly illuminated street that led to Karen's house. She now lived in one of the expensive and luxurious estates in Los Angeles. Not the most expensive, but one that was definitely high classed. He listened to the tunes that played from the car stereo as he drove composedly along the now less busy road, bumping his head occasionally to his favourite parts of the songs. He slowed down and diverted into the smaller road that cut off the highway and led to the estate where she lived. His mind wandered to the different events that had gone down in his life in the past months before settling on Karen. “It was meant to just be a little publicity show to help me and show I've fallen in love with him and I can't even tell him the truth. I'm fucked up.” Her words replayed in his mind and he gripped the steering wheel tightly, shutting his eyes tight in the process. His knuckles turned white as his face hardened. He opened his eyes and his demeanour displayed

He walked into the sitting room and took a seat on one of the single couches while she went into her bedroom. She dropped her hand bag on the dressing table and went to sit on the bed to pull off her heels. She pulled off the heels, massaging her feet gently.Jack sat on the chair, cross legged as he stared round her sitting room. Many things had changed since the last time he had visited. It now looked more beautiful and luxurious. He stared at her photos that hung on one side of the wall. It consisted of photos of different gigs. He stood up and walked over to have a closer look.“She is really pretty." he stated to himself, running his large hand on one of the photos where she posed in a bikini. He continued staring at the photos, and a few moments later, he felt two hands wrap around his abdomen. His body tensed at the sudden contact as he felt her body leaning into him before he relaxed.“I've missed you a lot.” She stated, wrapping her hands on his body that was covered with heav

Jack sat on his chair behind his large office table. His laptop was switched on and placed in front of him while different documents were littered on his table. He looked tired, his sleeves were rolled mid arm and the first two buttons of his shirt were left open. He typed away into his laptop with every bit of concentration. He had come into the office at his usual time, early and prompt. He had sealed the contract deal and now, it was time for some paperwork. He had been working on his laptop for over two hours now and was almost done. He finished working on the documents and emailed it to his secretary who was to send it to Holt Inc.“Check your email. I've sent a document. Forward it to the client.” He said into the telephone after the call had connected.“Yes sir." She replied from the other side of the call and he dropped the call, relaxing into his chair. It was still morning and his work for the day had just ended. He had woken up some minutes past four am and left Karen's hou

It's been over a month since Karen officially launched her fashion magazine and so far, things had been going on smoothly for her until a few days ago when Jack pulled out his investment from her fashion firm and finally ghosted her.During her official launching program, he had invested one million dollars into her company which she had hoped to use in the expansion before his unexpected pullout. The fashion magazine was to be released monthly and sold at $2.50 each. The company's stocks had fallen by more than seventy percent in less than twenty four hours and it was currently still falling.She had woken up to see the published articles on her phone and had fallen into an initial shock before recovering. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked numb, reading through the news on different blogs and channels. Jack was yet to say anything, and his silence was hurting her even more.The bloggers had jumped greedily on the news, publishing half-baked stories on what they felt was tru

“What did the doctor say?” He questioned when he noticed that she had stopped sobbing. “He said it's stress, I'm tired." She lamented and he pulled her into a side hug, stroking her hair tenderly.***Jack sat on one of the chairs in the hospital room, his head buried in his hands as he tried to rest a little. The doctor had just left the room less than thirty minutes ago after he had carried out some check up on his father. The doctor had confirmed that the old Mr Antonio was very dehydrated and had low blood pressure which resulted in a low heart rate which led to his collapse. After administering fludrocortisone to help raise his blood volume and midodrine to boost his blood pressure, he had instructed they let him rest and after lying idle on the bed for some minutes, Antonio finally fell asleep again.His mom was much calmer now after the doctor had confirmed that he was responding to treatment. His mother had called him about two hours ago and she was really panicked. His fathe

After crying for some minutes, she picked herself up from the chair and walked to her room. She unlocked the door, got inside the room and closed it before sliding to the floor, leaning on the door. She had tried these past weeks to pick up the pieces Jack had broken her to, and now, a baby was growing inside of her. She placed her hand on her belly, rubbing it gently, as if she wanted to feel it. A smile broke on her face as she thought of the child. She was going to keep it. She was going to be a proud mother.Jack supported his dad as they walked out of the hospital to his car parked at the garage. His father had just been discharged after spending three days in the hospital. The doctor had confirmed that he was okay to be discharged, but he was to rest at home in order to fully recover. His parents got into the back seat while he occupied the driver's seat. Ever since he moved out of his parent's house, he had been driving himself alone. He hated the extra presence of a driver. He

She walked out of the house and slammed the door shut while he still stood in the same position, his hand on his hair while he was deep in thoughts.“I'm pregnant, and you're responsible." Her voice rang in his head and he fell to the sofa weakly. Being a father wasn't something he wanted to do. The thought alone scared him to witts. Sure, he loved sex, but getting a girl pregnant in the process was something he always avoided. He tried to think back to occasions when he had sex with Karen without condoms, and they were too many to be called a mistake. He knew he had made a great mistake and had no one else to blame, but himself. The second mistake he had made.His mind was still in a haze as he buried his head in his palm. He wasn't going to make a decision. Atleast, not suddenly. His phone beeped beside him and he picked it up lazily and unlocked it. It was a text message from an unsaved number. He read the content of the text, hissed and dumped his phone back on the chair.It has b

Karen stood by the window of the hotel room she stayed in. The curtain of the window was pulled open, letting the early morning sun sip into the room. She was still in her pyjamas, her hair was scattered, indicating that she just got out of bed. She stood, looking across the city from the window, her mind disturbed and in deep thoughts.“Had Jack realised that she was no longer in LA?” “Was he going to look for her?” the thoughts ran through her mind as the watched the beautiful sunrise.She soon got tired of standing and went to take her bath. Stripping naked, she walked into the Ensuite to take her bathe. She heated up the water and stepped into the bath, relaxing in the warm water.She soon finished taking her bath and stepped out of the water, wrapping herself in a long towel. She dried herself before creaming her body. She soon got dressed in jeans trousers, a blouse top and a long coat. It was around eight AM, the weather slightly unfriendly when she stepped out of the hotel bui

“There is a fifteen million dollar trust fund in your name. Your father instructed me to give you the details so you can access it.” Mrs. Lillian said, shocking Karen.“What? Are you for real?" She asked after an extended silence.“Yes, ma. Everything is real.” Lillian answered.“Why should I believe you?” She asked. She no longer knew what to believe“Can you give me your mail address so that I will forward the pieces of evidence your father sent to me.” the secretary said and she called out her mail address. “I will drop the call now. Please check your mail in thirty seconds,” she added politely. The secretary dropped the call and she rushed to open her email inbox. She had a new message and attachment from “Lillian brown.” she clicked on the video and her father's image came on“Hello, Karen. I'm sure my secretary has contacted you, and I'll be on a sheep cruise to the other part of the world by the time you watch this video. I'm sorry for all the wrongs I did. I'm sorry for leavin
Billionaires Don't Love 74. The news
The attorney stared in shock at what had just taken place in front of him. He stared speechless at a dying Damian as he clutched his neck, going breathless. He stared back at the side the bullet came from. He noticed a hole made in the glass. It was where the bullet had passed through. Whoever shot that had a lot of precision.He called for help and Damian was rushed to the hospital. Few minutes after getting to the hospital, he was declared dead.With no more evidence and the death of the only testifier they had, the investigations into the deep four were put on hold.**Few months later**After the death of Damian, calm returned to Jack. His company was now performing very well. It had been many months since Karen left, but he lived every day with the conviction that she was going to return one day. He hadn't heard from her since she left and he had also refused to date again. He parked his car in the parking lot of his company and stepped out. He noticed a strange car parked in the

“No”“Yes. I'll be waiting for you.” he pulled her into a hug before kissing her on the forehead. “Be a good boy, kiddo.” he turned to Jayden and roughened his hair.“Now, go.” he muttered and stepped back. Tears welled up in Karen's eye as he stared at him before turning and pulling her box inside the airport building.***Meanwhile, the news of Damian's arrest had spread all over the city. Jack had made the police keep the reason for his arrest a top tier secret, however, there were already speculations flying about. His company had since been shut down for investigation over corruption charges and interrogation intensified. Seeing the turn of events, most of his investors had pulled out, leaving the company to crumble.“Hope this interests you.” the attorney stated, pushing a document to him on the table they sat. Damian picked it up and stared at the content before looking at the attorney. “Your company has been shut down, your investors have left, and there are fresh charges of

The sound of the gunshot alerted the cops and they all rushed into the room with their guns out. Damian was disarmed and handcuffed while some men went to Jack's side. Harry untied Jack and he got up, feeling the soreness of his hands.Karen laid on the floor, weak and almost passing out. The bullet had caught her arm and it was now bleeding. If not for the timely push Jack had pushed her, maybe it would have hit her chest.Jack rushed to her side and tried to lift her up. The muscles in his body failed him, making him almost fall forward. Harry rushed to his aid, and together, they helped Karen to the car. Jack tore a piece of his clothing to tie Karen's wond while Harry drove to the hospital.They arrived at the hospital thirty minutes later. Karen had been alternating between consciousness and unconsciousness. Karen was rushed into the operation theatre while Jack was admitted into a room.After twenty minutes, the bullet was taken out of her arm, and she was left under anesthesia

The loud buzzing of Karen's phone woke her up from her sleep. She had slept late the previous night. She picked up her phone from the nightstand and checked the time. It was few minutes past six am. Who the fuck was disturbing her sleep by this time of the morning!“It better be something good.” she muttered before opening the message. The message was short from an unsaved contact. It contained an address and direction to the address with a simple text that read “Jack's location. ” She jumped out of the bed, her heart beat increasing.She quickly brushed, washed her face and changed into another cloth before placing a call to Harry “Good morning Harry. Please, get the cops on standby. I think I have information on Jack's whereabouts. I'll meet you in your house in ten minutes.” She spoke breathlessly without giving him a chance to respond. She dropped the call and kissed Jayden on the forehead before picking him.She rushed out to her car, put Jayden at the backseat and took the wheels

She crashed to the chair slowly and Harry rushed to her side. He got the phone from her and checked the content of the text. His expression darkened as he finished reading the text.“When did he send this?” he directed the question at Karen.“Two days ago. He left here angrily and I haven't heard from him since then.” She answered.“We need to inform the police. This may be bigger than us.” Harry spoke. They all drove to the police station. Harry met with the inspector and filed a missing complaint. He showed the police the text Jack had sent and Karen informed him of how he had stormed out angrily.“I need this search to remain secret. None of these must get to the press or anybody in the public.” Harry cautioned.“Be rest assured, Mr Blake. We will find Mr Antonio very soon, and none of this will get to the public.” The inspector replied. Harry nodded in understanding and shook hands with the inspector before walking out. The police soon began the search. They visited some of the h

“Hello, Jack Antonio.” Damian called out his name scornfully. He smoked from the pipe in his hand, puffing the air out through nose.Jack remained silent, fixing a deep glare at him. His phone was switched off inside his pocket. At that point, he only hoped she had gotten the text and was planning another line of action. A smirk spread on his lips at the thought of ridiculing Damian.“You are now a drug dealer, huh?” he smirked. “It makes a lot of sense now. You needed a lot of money to compete and keep up with me.” Jack added with a sly smile. Damian remained calm as he puffed smoke from his pipe.“I told you this is a battle, not a war and I'll always be victorious.” Damian got up from the chair and walked up to Jack. He dragged his smoke for some seconds, puffing the smoke on Jack's face. “And what did you say about Karen being your woman?”“Guess who has a one year old child with her?” Jack smirked in a bid to spite Damian.“Guess whose child is gonna grow up without a father.” Da

Karen sighed before speaking up. “Is there anything to talk about?”“Of course. There are a lot of things to talk about.” Jack replied. He walked closer to her untill he stood few feet away from her. “Lets talk about us. I know I fucked up massively and I am really sorry. All I'm asking for is that you forgive me and give me one more chance, let's build our future together.”Karen stared at him as he finished speaking. Her stare was long and piercing. She got up from the chair, walked to fridge in the dinning room and pulled out two bottles of water before returning. She handed one bottle to Jack and uncapped her's, drinking a little quantity.“You clearly broke up with me. You wronged me greatly, and I don't wanna go back to that past.” she replied, defiant.“You-” he paused, stopping his sentence at the beginning before running his fingers through his hair. He realized if he wanted to win her back, he had to be calm. “What about Jayden?” he finally asked.“I will take care of him. I
