(Jack’s Pov)I rushed in the direction of the address where Nate sent to my phone. It was the new location where he keeps hostages whenever captures anyone that I have him go after.A week ago, my assistant brought to my notice the case of a missing fund where a huge amount of money went missing. It was traced to the desk of our three-year-old staff who was a data analyst. She was employed because her curriculum vitae says she is an experienced data analyst and when my assistant gave her a test, she did very well and that was the most relevant reason why she was employed, so basically, she’s very good at her job.Ever since she resumed work, my assistant has been reporting a missing fund to me but I had them all ignored because the money missing wasn’t much, but this time around, I had it investigated because the money which was lost this time was quite huge and it was nothing I could overlook just like that. I wanted to know the person who’d be so bold to steal from me.My assistant
(Lily’s Pov)“We are doomed,” I said to Karen over the phone, panting.“Calm down Jane. You haven’t even told me what it is that happened”“Don’t you get it? Some strange person called Jack telling him that they’ve found her, what if it’s Lily that he found. I think Jack is in love with her”“What makes you think so?” Karen asked.“Because I heard him say to Jack ‘Boss we have found her” I replied.“Not that part”“Which part do you mean?” I asked“The part you said he’s in love with her”“Yes, Karen I think he’s in love with her and if she’s the one that they’ve found then it’s the end of the road for the both of us” I cried perambulating around the whole place.“What do you suggest we do now?” Jane asked.“I do not know, I’m as confused as you are yourself and Jack isn’t giving me any chance to get close to the company despite how weak I thought he was.“That’s not good at all”“Yes, it isn’t and now I’m scared. What if he’s the real owner of those kids and they have been found?”“J
(Jack’s Pov)After meeting with the staff who took away my money, I headed to the company to deal with the complaints I’ve been receiving from our clients over contracts that were yet to be approved. The contracts were delicate and my assistant couldn’t approve them, as I needed to look into them, otherwise, I would have asked him to.My assistant called complaining that we might lose some of our major customers if we do not do anything with the contracts and that was why I decided to go to the company after deciding to stay off the company and have my assistant take care of things.The company was busy and filled with people, soon everybody started bowing at the sight of me as they usually do. I was becoming tired of the entitlement which they gave me, I wanted my staff to feel free with me and not freak out whenever they see me but that seemed like a wish that wouldn’t come true, even when I try talking to some of them they would bend their head until I would be done talking.“Good
(Jack’s Pov)I got home after a long day at the company and decided that I need to rest because I had lunch almost at 4 pm, I didn’t see the need to eat again at night so I walked straight to my room without going to the dining to check what was prepared.“I thought I was going to wait forever” Karen chuckled immediately after I turned the light on.“You scared me! How did you get here?” I asked, disgusted by her presence.“Are you not happy to see me? What was I even thinking? I have forgotten that you have a new wife but I don’t see her anywhere around this place” Karen chuckled looking around everywhere and making a comic face.“I’m warning you, stop it…”“Or what Jack? I loved you and what did you do? You divorced me for some whore who got pregnant for another man, tell me, have you suddenly become impotent that another man had to get your wife pregnant, so pathetic” Karen mocked.“How did you get into my room and who opened the gate for you?” I asked the desperate Karen seating o
(Lily’s Pov)I was at home all alone looking after the kids because Samantha had gone to visit a relative leaving the twins with me. I couldn’t go to the bakery with them because of the heat produced in the bakery shop instead, I decided to take two days off from work and look after my kids while we wait for Samantha to return home.The kids were running around and playing with their dolls while I was making food in the kitchen, suddenly everywhere went cold and I wasn’t hearing their tiny little laughter anymore, after a second, one started crying but I didn’t hear a thing from the other.I got scared and ran out to confirm what was wrong, I got to the sitting room to see my little one lying helplessly on the floor in the pool of his own blood. I wrapped him up in my arms immediately and searched all over his body for where the blood was coming from. I turned him over and it was from his head that the blood was streaming from.Confused and didn’t know what to do I reached for my phon
(Lily’s Pov)When my son woke up, I had to beg the doctor to let us go because his twin brother was at home all alone. The doctor refused and asked that I let them take care of him while I go back to his brother at home but fear wouldn’t let me do that.“I’m sorry ma, we can’t let you take him home when he hasn’t healed properly,” the doctor said.“But I can take care of him at home, all you have to do is give me his drugs and I will administer them to him following your directions” I pleaded.“It doesn’t work that way, ma’am. Let us take care of his wounds” the doctor insisted.“You’re not in any position to tell me what to do with my child” I fumed.“You can take him home if you want, we are only trying our best to make sure that your son is in good condition” the doctor replied.After giving a second thought to the doctor’s advice, I had no other choice left other than to call on Samantha and let her know what happened to one of the twins.“Hello Samantha” I cried.“Why are you cry
(Jack’s Pov)In a bid to find comfort, I ran into a bar filled with lots of people and echoes that came from the loud music being played in the bar. It was a locally made expensive bar and had a very beautiful sight but I was in pains not to pay attention to its details.I found my way into the thick crowd that was rocking each other and flirting around. The crowd was congested but I still managed to find my way to the barman’s spot where I would stay and drink until I’m able to forget all that I’d been through.“One beer please,” I said to the bar attendant who was serving everybody.“Are you married?” the young man asked.“Excuse me,” I said looking confused. I didn’t know what being married had to do with ordering a beer in the bar.“You’re in the couple’s corner, if you’re alone then you should go to the other side, divorced people aren’t allowed her either,” the barboy said pointing to the corner which had only a young lady who was already drinking herself to stupor.For a moment
(Lily’s Pov)“Sorry, for what exactly?” I asked with a voice heavy with emotion.“I’m sorry for everything. Can’t you see how sorry I am?” Austin asked“I don’t care whether you are sorry or not. You’re supposed to stay away from my life, I paid the price for that remember?”“Lily it’s not my fault that things happened the way they did…”“It’s my fault then. How could you? Austin I trusted you so much and yet you broke me the third time. Why do you have to keep hurting me? What did I ever do to you to deserve the things that I get from you?” I asked trying so hard to withhold my tears from dropping.Austin tried to make an inch closer but I took two steps backwards to stop him from coming any closer. I never believed I would set my eyes on him again after what he did to me.When Jack showed me that video of us having sex, a video I knew nothing about, my heart sank into my stomach. Austin took a sex video of us without my knowledge. He drugged me and had sex with me.“How am I suppose

(Jack’s Pov)As much as I pretended that everything was okay with me, I still had something bothering me, something that haunts me all through the night, it was the thought of Lily.I lied to myself severally that I did the right thing by sending her out for cheating on me but however, something didn’t seem right to me. The doctor’s confirmation of her having twins means that it could be because Jane and I are twins but then I’m not the only one who is a twin, the man she cheated on me with could be too.Sometimes I try to get my mind off from thinking about her but the thought never goes away, it still finds its way into my heart and each time it does, it torments me.When I couldn’t deal with it any longer, I confided in Jane and told her everything that I was going through because she was the only person I could trust at the moment."Do you think I did the right thing?" I asked Jane uncertain."What are you talking about? Don't tell me you're still thinking about her?" I bowed my h
