Jack

My burning fury was replaced with confusion as I gazed at George, wondering what he meant. How did he even know my name?

As if he could read my mind, his lips formed into a smile as he marched closer to me.

“You’re surprised.” He stated.

Still, I did not say anything. My mind was torn, feeling a surge of anger and intrigue.

“Edgar isn’t the man you are looking for, Jack. It’s me.” He said, almost too confidently, wearing a smug grin.

“Then you must know that I’m going to kill you first,” I replied with a vicious stare and without any hesitation, swung my arm across and landed a heavy punch on his face, causing him to fall flat on the ground.

Immediately, the men cocked their guns, aiming it at me again.

Slowly, George stood from the ground, laughing menacingly,

“I’m going to enjoy destroying the rest of you. Surely you must understand why I had to do what I did. I offered your father the deal of a lifetime and he just spat in my face. What did he think was going to happen?!” He

    AnnaChloe was dangerously close to finding out about my children. I never thought anyone besides Rita would find out about my children without me telling them. But she was an investigative journalist after all. I should have known how determined she was when she met Mark and he seemed thrown off and nervous around her. However, at the time I was more concerned with how sketchy he was acting around her, almost like they had a secret he didn’t want me to know about, but right now I understood why he seemed edgy when they met. I was trying my best to keep my composure but it still seemed like she could see through me.“So… want to tell me what it is you’re hiding?” She asked again.“Nothing!” I blurted and scoffed, trying to dismiss the conversation, but all it did was make me seem more guilty of what she was saying about me.“I have a meeting soon. I have to go.” I added quickly and turned to walk away, but just then my phone chimed with a message and I took a glance at it.RE: “Don’t

    Anna“There are some documents that you will need to sign, but don’t worry Ms. Brookes, it’s all going to be an easy process. Once you sign these documents, I’ll send them over to the Circle Council showing them that you are the rightful heir of Demarcus’ fortune, and after that, you’ll have the authority to take control of everything that is yours.” Logan said and then stopped and smiled,“I have to say, Anna, I’m excited about this. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time now and I’m just excited that your father’s fortune will not be falling into the wrong hands.” After saying this, he picked up a pen and slid it to me with a warm smile.I hesitated for a while, not because I didn’t think I could trust Logan, but because this seemed to be happening so fast. I wasn’t sure how I felt about claiming the wealth of a man I barely knew, or even about becoming the most powerful person in the world. I saw what the hunger for more power did to people and I was afraid that I might end

    Jack“Hello son,” Blake said warmly as he approached me. I was frozen in shock, unable to process this. It had been five years since I left home. Five years since I left that life behind me and not once did I ever think that I would see him again, or even more, what I would do when I saw him.He looked so unaffected, like nothing that happened five years ago was his fault, and my heart was pounding faster, anger surging through me.“What are you doing here?” I asked with a cold stare.“Come on Jack. That’s no way to say thank you to your old man. I mean I just saved your ass.” Blake said with a smug look on his face.As soon as he said that, a wry smile appeared on my face. There it was. That was the man I was familiar with; the arrogant, proud man who never considered anyone else but himself, only thinking that what he did, no matter how messed up it was, was always to the benefit of others and not his selfish interest. “Glad to see you still haven’t changed. Do you think that I nee

    Jack“I’m out!” Edgar yelled as he stepped out of the car, creasing his brows furiously at us. “That wasn’t so difficult now, was it?” I said with a smirk and grabbed him forcefully, shoving him away.From the corner of my eyes, I saw Blake press his gun down George’s head as the man whimpered in fear, and I immediately hastened towards them, dragging him away.“What the hell do you think you are doing?” I asked snapping at him.“Relax, I’m not going to kill him. I’m just shaking him up a bit so that he will talk.”My expression suddenly became relaxed as I let go of him,“Now is not the time for games. We need to question them for answers. The sooner we are done here, the earlier we can get to Anna. Blake bring him over.” I sneered and turned to walk away, but he suddenly grabbed my hand with a concerned look,“Blake? That sounds strange rolling off your tongue.”I scoffed, staring at him irritably, “What would you prefer I call you? Dad?” I asked and his expression softened as thos

    Sheila“Is that enough motivation, or do you want me to start breaking some fingers?” Jack sneered angrily.I quickly grabbed and pulled him away, unsure of where that much anger stemmed from.“Dude! Get a hold of yourself! That wasn’t necessary!” I said, glaring at him. He swung my arm away and scoffed, his brows creasing in annoyance.“Are you okay, or do you need to get out of here?” I asked with a soft voice. “I know what this is about,” I said and his gaze shifted towards me with intrigue.Heaving a deep sigh, I grabbed his hand gently and led him towards our car. He sat on the hood, clawing it with an intense grip matching his rage.“Obviously, this is about dad. Isn’t it?” I started.Jack scoffed and looked away.“I know you think he’s an asshole and he is. He spent his life torturing you in the name of making you stronger and you spent yours hating him, so hearing him confess his true emotions now is making you troubled.”“I don’t know how to feel about the man now!” He blur

    Jack“Who else knows? And what do you want to do with it?” I asked sternly.“It’s already too late. There are a lot more of us hiding within the Circle. Even if you kill me now, someone else will rise and take my place. We are all driven by a common mind - the downfall of the Brooke family.”“How do you know about the codes?” Sheila interjected impatiently, furrowing her brows angrily at him. However, Edgar did not seem much intimidated and kept glancing at his watch.“Expecting someone?” I asked coldly, and a wry smirk crossed his lips.“You have no idea, do you?” “You think just because you’ve gotten me that this has ended. There are a lot more of us hiding in plain sight, but all are unified by a common goal. How do you think we even know about the codes in the first place?”“I have to give it to him. That bastard Demarcus did a good job hiding his wealth and power, but it was inevitable. We were going to find it sooner or later.” Edgar added with a sinister smile.“What are you ta

He screamed and struggled endlessly to break free, but we held him down till finally he yelled, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”Upon hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Blake’s face as he turned around and gave me a satisfied look.Blake again signaled his men and they turned off the machine.Dropping to the ground, Edgar held his groin sobbing quietly, “I’ll tell you who has her.” Blake leaned down to him, patted his face gently, and turned towards me, “Walks every time.” I strode towards Edgar and grabbed him furiously, “What did you do? Who has her?”Edgar started chuckling, drooling from his lips as he looked up at me with a smug grin, “Logan. By now your precious sweetheart is probably locked up in some basement somewhere with Logan Gribble.”As soon as those words fell, my eyes widened in horror. “Anna.” I gasped realizing the danger she w

    Anna“Anna…Anna wake up.” I heard a familiar voice echo in my ear and slowly blinked my eyes open.Immediately, I felt a sharp pain in my head.“Ugh… what happened? Where am I?” I asked scanning around the dimly lit room.“Anna…” the voice filtered softly into my ears again.“Who are you?” I asked, trembling slightly and trying to move, but just then realized that I was bound both arms and legs tied to a chair.Immediately, a sudden fear engulfed me. I didn’t need anyone to tell me what had happened. I’d been kidnapped again. By now I was already familiar with the eerie atmosphere, however, still, I couldn’t remember how I ended up here again.“Anna…” the voice sounded again, this time closer, sending a cold shiver down my spine.“Who are you?” I whimpered shakily, still finding it hard to place the familiarity.“Shhh, I’m not here to harm you. I want to help you get out of here.” She said, turning around towards me stealthily.“Rita?” I exclaimed softly, surprised to see her.“What a

    The day of reckoning had arrived. In a few minutes now, Anna and her troop will be taking Edgar and his men by surprise. The stage had been set with everyone working together to end Edgar’s tyranny.Under the cover of the night, Anna, Mark, Jack, and their allies positioned themselves near Edgar’s main hideout. Zach had fed them crucial information about the hideout's layout and where Edgar and George would likely be during the operation. Armed and ready, they moved swiftly, slipping through shadows and avoiding detection.As they closed in, Anna felt a mix of fear and exhilaration. She knew this confrontation would determine everything—her role in The Circle, her fate, and Mark’s future with his family. She glanced at him, catching his gaze, and a silent understanding passed between them. Finally, they reached the inner sanctum, silently taking down Edgar’s security guards, until they reached where Edgar and George were having a conversation. The two men looked surprised but quickly

    As Mark prepared to find his brother, Zach, he couldn’t help but feel a mixture of fear and hope. Although he had agreed to work with Anna, he wasn’t convinced she understood just how deep the roots of The Circle ran or how much any of this had affected him. However, seeing how resolved she was to take down Edgar had swayed him, and he knew that, for his brother’s sake, he had to give her plan a chance.Meanwhile, after Anna walked out of the room, she now decided to contact Jack. As soon as he picked up, she explained her suspicions about The Circle and how their influence might reach farther than even she had initially thought, informing him that she needed him now more than ever. A few hours passed and Mark arrived at a small, dimly lit bar where Zach was known to spend his evenings. Immediately he walked in, he spotted Zach sitting at the far end of the bar, looking troubled. Mark approached him slowly, and as soon as he sat down, he placed a firm hand on his brother's shoulder.

  • My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid   Agreement

    Author’s POV“So you’re telling me that you are not just a part of an evil organization that has been around for years, but you are also the head?” Mark asked, staring at Anna in disbelief. “I know this is difficult to process, but it is the truth. But we are not all like Edgar.” Anna said.“Right…” Mark scoffed.“No, I mean it. We don’t all want the same thing. The Circle has been in operation for years, working to maintain the balance and smooth operation of the surface world. Edgar and his associates are the only ones with the ideals that things need to change, and that for some reason they are the ones to affect that change. That’s why we are fighting them. We are trying to retain order and balance in this world.”“And how do you do that, huh?”“Tell me, Anna, does it involve letting the people up here decide for their lives or does your organization plan out the course of their lives?” Mark asked with a pruning look.“I don’t know about that, I’ve not been a member for long.” A

    Author’s POV“What?” Mark recoiled in shock.“Who could have done that?” Anna hesitated for some moments, afraid of how he would take the news. “Tell me, Anna.” He demanded.“Zach!” Anna blurted. “Your brother Zach did.”Mark staggered for some time, trying to process what I had just said. “Are you serious?” He asked, still in disbelief.“I am,” Anna said softly. Mark remained frozen in place for some time, deep in contemplation. I could imagine how difficult this was for him to hear. Zach was a lot and had caused a lot of problems, but at the end of the day, he was still his brother. “I can’t believe this,” Mark muttered and immediately started searching through his drawers.“What are you doing?” Anna asked, to no reply.“What are you doing Mark?” She asked again. “What does it look like I’m doing?” Mark snapped irritably.“I’m going down to have a conversation with my brother and give him the chance to explain how he almost got me killed.” He raged and grabbed his car key.Ann

    Author’s POVThose words filled Anna with a sudden dread. She hoped that somehow Mark would not ask her that because she still wasn’t sure who the father of her children truly was. There was that stranger from that night, and then there was Luke. For all she knows, it could have been either of them.Seeing how hesitant she was, Mark asked again,“Is the father still in the picture Anna? What happened with him?” At that point, Anna quickly turned around, “He’s not in the picture and that’s all that I can say. I don’t really like to talk about him.” She said, her heart beating out of her chest.Much to her surprise, Mark did not ask anything concerning him again. He waited for some time and then his lips curved into a smile,“I’d like to meet them.” As soon as she heard these words, Anna’s eyes widened in shock.“I’m sorry. You want to meet…”“Your children,” Mark interjected. “Is that okay with you?” He added.Anna remained frozen for some moments, her thoughts running wild. This w

    Author’s POVUpon hearing that, Mark’s face reddened with humiliation. He didn’t think she would figure it out, but she was right, he was afraid. After Lydia died in that car accident, Mark had spent his entire life afraid of being abandoned, and that fear resurfaced when he learned of Anna’s children.“No Anna, the issue here is that you could not trust me. I’ve already been down that road once with Mia, and I don’t want to be in another relationship where my girlfriend is keeping secrets from me.” He argued.As much as he had a point, Anna was still not convinced. She knew Mark was trying to change the course of their conversation and she would not let him.She shot him a soft gaze and slowly walked toward him, “I know it’s not easy to admit Mark, and I know that I shouldn’t have kept this away from you for so long, but I am afraid too.” Anna said and Mark’s eyes shot up with curiosity.Anna heaved a deep sigh and continued, “When I first came into town, I didn’t know what I was goi

    Anna“Who’s there?” Mark’s voice sounded through the door.I hesitated to answer. One word from me and he’d be calling the guards to throw me out, or at least that’s what I thought, so I knocked again and waited a while for his answer. This time he did not bother to say anything, and after waiting for a while, I knocked again.“I already told you, Rita, I don’t need anything!” His voice echoed in annoyance as he approached the door, and unlocked it.As soon as his gaze met mine, he froze in shock for some moment, unable to find the words to say anything.“Anna?”“Wh-what are you doing here?” Mark asked, and immediately his brows creased into a deep frown.“Mark, I just want to talk…” I started to say, but he rudely cut me off.“I don’t have anything to say to you.” He replied coldly and tried to close the door, but I quickly put my feet through the doorframe, stopping him.He shot one look at me and sighed heavily, turned his back, and walked inside the room, leaving me at the door.

  • My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid   Selfish

    Anna“You want my advice? Go for it.” I said, encouraging Jack. Deep down I knew it was a selfish act. As much as I hoped that he’d find love somewhere else, a part of me wanted to believe what it told him about Anna, that deep down she did not still harbor any feelings toward Mark. I’d hate to be in competition with my sister over a man we both wanted. Jack seemed flustered when I said that. I could tell he hoped that no one would spot his feelings toward Chloe, especially not the girl he was just trying to get over.Still, he managed to keep his composure and quickly tried to change the focus,“You should try taking your own advice with Mark. I know I’ve not always made your relationship with him easy, and I apologize for the part I played in that. But whatever this thing is between you and Mark, it’ll be a shame if you both fall out.” He said.“Jack, what happened between Mark and I is not because of you. He just couldn’t stand the honesty he wanted.” I said, pushing the bangs on

    “Mark and I used to date.” The words echoed in my head like I was reliving a nightmare. I froze in shock, not sure what to say or how to even react. Deep down, I couldn’t help but dismiss the thought that this was the relationship Chloe and Mark shared, but I always tried to convince myself it wasn’t anything like that. Mark never talked a lot about her even after we met at that party, and I just assumed there was nothing much to say about an old friend.Now I see I was just trying to keep my thoughts away from a fear I didn’t want to have to face.However, I couldn’t understand why Chloe chose to tell me at this point and why Mark never said anything. Was he hiding something about their relationship? I didn’t know Chloe was my sister then, and I’m sure he didn't know either. Certainly, I wouldn’t have minded much about a girl he dated in the past, and at this point, I was convinced he was hiding something.As much as it should have felt good that I now had something to call him out
