Alexa watched the nurse open the liquid to be injected to her father, drawing it into the syringe through the needle before injecting his arm. She watched her carefully as she mixed the drugs before presenting them to her dad. Her ears itched to hear what the doctor was discussing with her brother, but she knew better than to interrupt.“Is he going to get better?” She asked, watching her dad gulp down the drugs with the water.“It is not in my power to say that, but, like the doctor said, he's improving.” The nurse tried to clear the little tension with a short forced laugh. But, she saw through that. The doctor said he was getting better, but she clearly didn't see any of that. He still looked the same, if not worse. Jack stepped back into the hospital room, joining her at the bedside and she only spared him a single glance before returning to stare at her father. She knew the conversation they had before the doctor's interruption had died a natural death. She could see the uncomfor

Jack and Ciara spent the next two days in Chicago in each other's company before they took a flight back to Los Angeles. After a successful business campaign, they had been given a two week break period and Jack was bent on enjoying every time he had to spend with Ciara.They walked hand in hand through the arrival area of the airport to where taxis parked, waiting for their next passenger. Ciara had convinced him against using a private taxi stating that sometimes, it was better to live life from another perspective. He frowned as she dragged him towards a taxi, opening the door as they both stepped in.After informing the taxi of their proposed destination, he took off, driving out of the airport. She leaned on the window of the car as she watched buildings go past them in a blur. She sniffled the hair, smiling in satisfaction as she recalled the office sex they had at Jack's office . After giving her her first orgasm of the night, he had placed her on the make-shift bed where they h

“Yes. We go a long way.” Jack replied.“It seems you both don't have the best of relationships. Why don't we finish with our shopping then we find a place to talk. Huh?” Ciara tried to mediate as she stared between both men.“He is my best friend.” Harry revealed, and the both ladies wore surprised looks. Ciara knew who Jack was. Everyone in Los Angeles did. But she couldn't see how they were best friends. Though he had mentioned that his best friend was a big figure in Los Angeles, her mind never thought of Jack.“Ohhh” Ciara's mouth hung in surprise. “Seems they're on a rocky path.” She thought. Karen just stood there, staring ahead. She suddenly felt a bit stupid. She had dated Jack for a few months and never knew about his best friend, not even his sister. What a nice girlfriend she was!They continued with their shopping, and in no time, they were done. They paid off at the counter and took the packaged bags as they walked out into the cold night. “Are we still doing the discussi

Jack's phone rang continuously as he tried to take it out of his bag. The ringing stopped as he pulled it out. “Multiple calls from the hospital. Strange” He muttered as he called back. The phone rang for a few seconds before the calm voice of the doctor cut in.“Good morning, Mr Antonio.” the doctor and from the tone of his voice, he could tell something was wrong. His heart raced as he thought back to his father. “Did something come up?”“Good morning doctor. Is everything okay?” He asked, trying to remain calm.“Your presence is required immediately at the hospital. Can you make it down here within an hour?” The doctor's voice was once again calm, making him even more anxious.“I will be there in twenty minutes.” he replied and dropped the call.“The doctor, I guess?” Harry asked, seeing the tensed look on his face.“Yes, and I don't have a good feeling about it.” he replied. He had made his sister go home the previous night. She had spent almost all the days of her break in the hos

Few minutes later, Karen texted him the address and dropped her phone to focus on the movie. They watched attentively until they completed the entire season. They were grinning from ear to ear at the end of the series. After many challenges, their lead couples had finally ended up together.“I feel like crying.” Ciara stated dramatically. Karen pulled her into a hug, patting her back.“You have my shoulders to cry on.”“Thank you, but no.” Ciara replied with a short laugh. “oops.. it's time to prepare for your date.” she spoke after checking the time on the huge clock that hung on the wall.“It isn't a date, Ciara!” Karen warned.“Bleh! So, what does a guy and a lady go to a fancy restaurant for, if not a date?”“To work. Who knows, they may be chefs working at the restaurant.” Karen replied, forcing herself not to laugh at her reply. Ciara slapped her forehead dramatically, making her laugh.They spent the next half and an hour fixing Karen up. She wore her dinner gowns and after dres

He watched as the man said a few things to her and she offered a tight-lipped smile before walking away to her car and driving away. Now standing alone, he could easily see the man, and he looked oddly familiar. He tried to recall where they might have met, but his process was interrupted by his sister who slammed the door loudly as she got inside the car.“I've gotten everything I need. Let's go.” his sister spoke and he peeled his gaze away from the male figure before driving away. By morning, the news of the death of Jack's father was starting to spread. Jack had authorized the hospital to include his dad's name in the death register and had issued an official statement on his social media platforms. His phone rang continuously as different friends and business partners called to show their sympathy. He ignored all the calls and when they were getting too much, he switched off his phone.“Cancel all my meetings for this week, I won't be available.” he had informed his secretary tha

“Are you sure of the information you have in these documents?” Damian asked, pointing at the packaged documents on the table.“Yes sir. A bit of inside information too.” the man replied, stroking the beards on his jawline.“Perfect!”The man stared at him, not really understanding what was going on. Who was this man, and why did he request for such information? The questions swarmed in his head but he kept his mouth shut. Whoever wanted to go against Jack Antonio could end him in a second. Few hours later, another piece of information was trending on the media space. Someone had dropped an anonymous tip for the biggest news outlet in the city. The tip was a short letter in writing, but from what could be deduced, rumors were already flying around.“Oh shit!” Harry cussed as he came across the news. His mind went to the rumor he had already heard and everything was starting to make sense. “Had Jack seen this yet?” he thought as he ran up the stairs. ___“Mr Lucas Zack” Damian called t

“Nonsense! What is this nonsense!” Jack screamed at the television. He was watching the live coverage of Damian's company's launch. Harry had rushed into his bedroom asking him if he had seen the latest news that was making the room, he had replied no, and he had switched on the television.He had immediately recognized the man speaking to be the man he had seen with Karen some nights ago. “Who was he, and what was he doing on live television?” he thought before deciding to focus on what they were saying. His blood ran cold as he read the headlines. A new company coming up? A competitor? “Who is that man?” he asked, throwing the question at Harry.“Unfortunately,I don't know. Tried to check, but his details did not give much information.” Harry replied. He too was wondering the same thing. Who was Damian Woods? “What is this shit they're saying about a company?” he questioned, refusing to believe what he saw on the screen.“Well, a new company has just been unveiled. Backend construc

“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
Billionaires Don't Love 72. The save
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
Billionaires Don't Love 71. Everything comes to an end.
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
Billionaires Don't Love 70. Search for Jack.
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
