“Happiness rediscovered…” Jazz whispered as she smiled with herself. She bends down and smelled the flowers. She enjoys spending time in the garden, also her way of avoiding Carly King who seemed to make it a point of being everywhere. She was doing inner reflection about the last couple of months realizing how blind she truly was. For a while she felt drained from the obstacles in her way. Her thoughts interrupted from the constant vibrating in her hand.“Why can’t you get the message Eva?” she glared at the phone. She ignored the call and keep wandering around in the garden. “I truly wasted my time with Allan Black. Now, looking back, what on earth did I really see in that guy?” She realized that man unknowingly to her created a kind of storm in her heart. “I certainly was a fool not seeing the obstacles for me but the rewards for him. I simply thought it was part of building a relationship. Can one person be so stupid?” She stopped to asked the birds. “I didn’t know why I was shock
It was Saturday mid-morning. Jazz had left the Warren Estate needing to be alone with her troubled thoughts. For a couple of days, she has actively been avoiding Jack. Now just walking around doing window shopping. She usually enjoys this kind out outing but her heart just wasn’t in it.Sometimes she caught her reflection in the mirror, only then feeling self-conscious when she saw her own emotions. Normally she enjoys her own company. Certainly not today.“Where are you grandmother? I need your advice.”Random thoughts occupied her mind. The spur of the moment she decided to make a game of things around her. She decided to actively watched and followed someone.“It might be fun,” she convinced herself. She quickly bought a cup of coffee then went and sit down on the bench. She starts to leisurely looked around until she noticed a couple who seemed to be in a heated argument. Her active imagination suggests deceived by trust…one or either now all alone.“Life is strange. I always thou
“Where on earth did that girl disappeared too?” he questions himself. He can’t believe he was becoming a house bound man. He knew the residence was large and for the last couple of days he had learned just how effectively she can avoid him. “I made a mistake Jazz but you need to make an appearance for me to apologize. I am new to this type of trust and faith relationship,” he admits his own uncertainty. “Where are you?” he questions the empty space in the bedroom. He had been looking everywhere but can’t find either her or Jason. It would seem his brother were mad at him too. He went downstairs to his study. Carly approached him. This simply boils his fury further. “Jack, I want…” He simply walked past her slamming the door in her face. He just knew somehow; she was responsible for this mess. He kept circling the study but felt trapped. “I need fresh air,” he walked back out of the study. “Sir,” William made an appearance. “Walk with me,” Jack saw Carly coming his way again. He an
“Jazz,” Martha quickly comes closer. “I am okay,” Jazz wipes across her mouth. The bit of blood finally stopped. “Are you sure you are okay? That sounded like a hard slap?” “Don’t stress, will you.” “We should call the police. “Martha looked around. “No leave it. We should focus on feeding the people.” Jazz looked at the patiently waiting men and women. “Jazz, I didn’t ask for your help to get hurt in the process. Let me call the police. We need to be safe while helping others.” “Fine, Martha, make the call.” “I wonder what made them come back?” Martha start picking up the broken pieces of glass. “I think they were looking for a woman and her child.” Jazz swipe the smaller pieces into the corner. “I told them we don’t cater to children but they didn’t seem to believe me.” “It was the same with me. I told another guy the same thing. I wonder who they are looking for? Judging from their behavior it seems the woman had reason to stay in hiding.” “Those guys really made me feel
Jack was in a foul mood. Its two days now and still Jazz was missing. He knows she was getting his calls since she disconnects the phone each time. The last tracking, he did was when she arrived at the Duncan Estate. One of his guys went there but apparently no one was home.“Where could she be William? I have been calling but she refuses to answer me.”“I would suggest you leave her alone letting her cool down. You must remember women can carry a hurt for a while sir.”“That’s nonsense.”“That’s women, sir.”Jack grab the Tablet scowling through the media sites. His past life was splashed all over. Most of the footage was received from the security cameras of the hospitals where he was treated. One managed to capture footage of him entering the building clearly well beaten. There was also one where he left with his mother’s arm around him.“Do you want me to remove the footage sir?”“There is no point William. The damage is done. My stocks are still falling. Strangely enough that’s t
Jack sit down in the coffeeshop with a window view. He looked around. No seemed to pay any attention to him. His gaze focused outside. The streets seemed surprisingly busy. He had noticed William entering through a door in a building looking a bit run down.“What can I get you?”Jack looked up. The waitress stood waiting for him. He noticed she tried to place him. He looked out the window again before answering her.“Black coffee no sugar,”“Back in a second, sir.”He noticed William making an appearance with a woman. Together they seemed to scan the street before walking down a side street. He kept his eyes fixed on them.“Here you go sir,”“Thank you.” He kept his eyes fixed outside.“Are you looking for someone sir?”Jack faced the woman openly. Her now noticed her curious expression has changed into friendliness.“Tell me about that street?”“What precisely do you want to know?”“Tell me about the homeless shelter, and who runs it.”Jack senses the woman looking at him. He knows h
Jazz woke up. She suddenly has the feeling someone was in the mansion. Getting out of bed quickly she dressed then walked to the door going into the hall. Everything was silent but she knew someone was around here. The older two women had decided to stay in the servant’s quarters. Walking down the stairs she suddenly stopped. A gun was pointed towards her.“Hello Jazz,”“What are you doing Eva?” Jazz stayed motionless watching her cousin and the pointed gun. “What do you want?”“You are a difficult person to get hold off.”“I was just avoiding you. Nothing special about it.”“Come here Jazz,” Eva point with the gun.“Why,”“You ask too many questions.”“Are you going to shoot me?”“No Jazz, I have other plans for you. Now move before I get annoyed.”Jazz did what she said going towards the front door. They both went outside where a car was waiting.“Where are we going Eva?”“You will see, now get in.”Jazz did what she said getting into the back. Eva followed her. The driver pulled aw
“William, we are leaving but I want you to find my mother please.”“You would need protection sir,” he looked uncertain.“I think we should move around under the raider. The guys attract too much attention. I also want you to upgrade the surveillance but only watched from the cameras. I want to know what’s going on around here. I only want you and the techno guys to be around. I think there are traitors working for me and selling me out.”“Will do sir, where are you going?”“I will let you know once we arrived. Please, William find my mother. I also want you to check with the police what they know about Tina Duncan.”“What about the office, sir? It’s been a while since you went there.”The truth is I don’t care William. The moment my past was revealed I realized who my colleagues were. I told me lawyers to sell the whole company. I will rebuild later. For now, I have to protect my wife and brother.”“You can count on me sir,”Jazz packed lightly. Whatever she need can be bought wherev
