He took another swing from his glass, emptying the glass before dropping it on the bar counter. He dropped a few paper notes under the glass before getting up. “I've dropped a tip. I should get going.”

He walked out of the bar, got into his car and drove off, followed by some of his men.

“Harry, I have something important to tell you. Please can we meet later in the evening for dinner?” Harry's girlfriend said into the call. They were currently on a phone call, and from her tone, he could tell that something was wrong.

“What's wrong, babe?” he asked, already feeling really worried.

“I will tell you when we meet. Take care.” she replied, dropping the call. He stared at the blank screen of his phone in surprise. Everything about the phone call sounded strange. She sounded different on the phone and it made him concerned. He dropped his phone and returned to work. He was going to focus on that later.

She walked to to the window and pulled the curtain open, allowing the sun seep into the room.She had arrived by flight some minutes ago and had avoided the public eye. Though her situation with Jack had gradually died off, there were still some obsessed fans who were lurking around. The drive from the airport to her house had lasted fifteen silent minutes.

Infact, she would never be prepared to meet him, but she knew she would have to meet him soon. Frankly, she really missed him, but she would rather deny it. It was better that way. She was yet to come to a decision over her unborn child. Would she let Jack back into h

    Damian yawned as he woke up from his sleep. It was another beautiful day, and he quickly adjusted to life back in Los Angeles. He turned to the bedside table, picked up his phone and switched it on before getting out of the bed. He walked into the ensuite and took a shower before going downstairs.“Good morning sir. The meal is set on the dining table.” his domestic maid announced as soon as he saw him walk down the stairs. He nodded at her, going towards the dining room. He took a seat at the end of the table and uncovered his plate.“Soon, it'll be me and Karen on this dining table.” he thought to himself before digging into his meal.He had spent over a week since his return to Los Angeles, and those days have been very busy ones for him. He had to clear up some documents. He wasn't working yet. He had saved enough money to take care of him for the next ten years without having to lift a muscle. He had made a smooth transition too from the organization in New York.His phone beeped,

    Jack stared at Harry in anger before pushing him away. “I'm not going to apologize for what I said.”Harry threw another punch at him, but this time, he dodged it perfectly. He threw a punch that caught Harry by the end of the jaw. They both stood, painting heavily as they stared at each other.They sized each other with their eyes before Harry stormed out angrily slamming the door shut loudly. Jack walked over to a chair and sat down, burying his head in his hands. His best friend, Harry raised his hands in anger against him. The thought pushed him to the witts.

They've never fought before, but today they did, and he felt he was the one to blame.Harry bounced out of Jack's house angrily, got to his car that was parked outside and drove off. He scoffed angrily as his mind replayed the actions that had gone down inside.

    They soon started the meeting. Harry made his proposal while speaking charismatically. Ciara listened attentively, jotting down some points. After laying out his points, Ciara raised her hand to speak.“Go on,” the CEO urged.She stood up from her seat and smiled. “The budget you are proposing isn't enough to carry out the publicity project for that period of time.” she countered eloquently. Harry stared at her in surprise before asking “And why is that so?”“You intend to cover a wide area using different methods. The budget can only cover half the area if you want to use different methods of publicity or the full area with limited means of publicity.” she pointed out subjectively. Her speech was fluid and she had a poised stance.Harry was visibly impressed by her speech. He gave her an appreciative nod as he returned to stare at the documents in front of him. Her beauty had blown him off one feet, and now her intelligent speech was drawing him in.“Take a survey and make an estimat

    Standing at the door was none other than Mrs Antonio, Jack's mother. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stood by the door. Her feet wobbled under her as she looked really shattered. Jack quickly got up from his seat and rushed to her, catching her before she slumped to the ground.She wept bitterly in his arms as he tried to console her, but to no avail. It was obvious that she had listened to most of their conversation. This was something he was trying to avoid by not informing her. He couldn't bear to see her so broken like the way she was currently. She soon hiccupped to a stop. Jack had taken her to sit on a long waiting chair while he sat beside her trying to comfort her.“How much of the conversation did you hear?” he asked softly after he knew that she was strong enough to answer. “Every important thing I had to know.” she replied with a shaky voice and he sighed softly.“You weren't supposed to hear that.”“Why? Why did you think that it was not important for me to know?” she

    He walked away from his car and towards the mall and luckily, he spotted Ciara standing by the huge doors. She was dressed in a blue jumpsuit and a black sneakers. Her hair was tied in a bun and her make up looked perfect on her. He smiled on seeing her and increased his pace to get to her.“Looks like you're all kitted for war.” she spoke, smiling at him as she noticed him come up behind her.“Fortunately, you're my commander” he replied with a smile of his own and they shared a laugh. The atmosphere was calm and friendly. He extended his right hand and she took it. He pulled her closer and they walked inside.Ciara pushed a cart around the mall and they walked through the different sections. They chatted happily like old friends as he walked behind her. They had gotten a few things including groceries.“But, for real, why did you pick a mall for our first unofficial meeting?” he questioned as they walked past the wine section. He was really curious about it and realized this was the

    Her mouth hung open until he walked up to her.“How did you know my address?” she managed to ask, and he smiled, a triumphant one.“I just did. You seem to forget who I am” he stated proudly and she scoffed with a little smile tugging on her lips. “I guess I'll find that out later.” she stated, turning around and walking up to the door. She inserted her key into the lock and turned it open before turning to face him again. “You can come in if you aren't leaving yet.” she offered.“I'll be right behind you.” he answered, returning to his car to pick out something. She stepped inside the house and minutes later, he followed her in with two small bags in his hands. He surveyed the living room area with his eyes as he stepped in. Its interior was beautifully decorated. She had a huge flat screen television on the wall. Not as huge as his', but bigger than normal. Some paintings hung on the wall alongside some photos that he figured out was her favorite.“Please, have a seat” she pointed a

Her expression was stoic, couldn't give away her thoughts.“At which location?” he asked finally and she opened her mouth wide in surprise.“Huh?”“The location you would love to get a new house in” he answered and she still stared at him in shock.“Are you actually serious right now, cos I wasn't.” she finally replied after the shock had weaned off. She had just mentioned a new house for fun, she didn't know he would take it seriously.“Ohhhh '' he mouthed “I thought you were serious about that.” he relaxed into the chair as his shoulders dropped considerably. “ I know you are very rich and you're capable of that, but, thanks.

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.

    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
