CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN II
Last Updated:
2021-07-07 23:48:25It was quiet in the room when Jordan came to and it was a lot darker than he remembered, like someone had turned off the light.
He didn't even remember passing out in the first place but he must have succumbed to the beckoning darkness at some point.
His arm joints hurt from being cuffed so wide aapart and his body hurt from all the hitting her received from 'the boss' puppet', the mad mongrel that had pounced.
His head throbbed with an ache that threatened to split it open but he had a will to rise above it.
His only concern though was finding out where they were keeping Riley, nobody has mentioned it or her since he's been here and it scared him to think of the reasons why.
And the big man in the room, who was still watching the couch wasn't making any move at all or saying anything to him.
If he had the luxury, he'd have wondered what it was that had all this attention to this extent but it wasn't don't he was willing to consider ye

SOMETHING ABOUT MR CEO CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHT
JoJo had no idea what she was going to find inside the building even as she went inside it, not a fucking clue. She had nothing except her bravery and need. She had no idea what awaited her in there but the curiosity to find out what it was her mother had kept here pushed her further in. Her mother, she'd hoped, would have done better, had told her of this place earlier than now and have her better prepared but nope . She wished at the moment that Meghan hadn't played her amnesia game so well, she'd played her for a fool too in the process. An she'd fell so hard for it. Not the time for looking back at a hurtful past, she realised as there was a bleak future waiting, if she fails. The door to the main building didn't give way as easily as the first entrance had. She had to hone in on all the patience she had inside her for someone from inside to find her and scan her thoroughly before the doors could push back to let he

The woman lead them out of her office and down some awfully long hallway until they finally came to an odd looking door at the end of it.JoJo waited, rather impatiently, while she went through the complicated process of unlocking it and drawing it open to grant them access.As soon as she stepped inside the room, JoJo was greeted by and endless rows of lockers.She doubted this room ever did see a lot of people because from what she could tell it needed a lot of cleaning.She could choke up easily on the amount of dust that had accumulated in it, especially at the rows behind.Funny how it didn't seem to bother her companion.This was getting eerily interesting, she'd expected every other thing but this.It was like her mother was playing some kinda he with them.But it was all coming together to her somehow and begining to make some kind

The cry that Jordan heard could be unmistakable, he knew who it belonged to and it both relieved and enraged him at the same time. It relieved him to know that she was still alive and from what he was forcing himself to believe, okay too. And it enraged him that she was in tears and probably scared half to death and he could do nothing to help her, nothing to save her except hang here and wait for his fate. He had no doubt it'd be ugly judging from what he'd done to the two of their guys that had been unfortunate in his home. He wasn't sure how much longer he could wait though for Brad and the rest to find them. What the fuck was keeping them. His limbs felt numb when they were not hurting and and his head hurt so much that a quick death might be looking like the better option soon. He must have taken a bad hit to it for him to feel so faint with the pounding in it. The door to the room creaked open and there were foots

Tatt knew he was ready to protect this child seating here with him and begging to be sent home with his life. She didn't deserve to die here even if that's what the boss wanted. She was too young, with her whole life still ahead of her and too innocent to be used as a threat warning. He didn't give a fuck' what the old guy wanted. He'd made it clear the day he'd signed up with them that there'd be no kid casualties and the man had agreed, he probably had mini amnesia that he hoped to cure with his defiance. He zoned out watching her while Shaggs had ranted on and on about what the boss wanted him to do with her. Was this what it had been with his boy? Some boss out back taking a drag out of his Cuban Ciga and giving orders that his life be snuffed so early as a revenge to his boy. He'd even forgotten about the guy that Shaggs had dragged into the room at gun point until he'd started yanking hard on his restraints and th

With the poor signalling in the fucking garage, it took a while before Brad got the signal from Jordan's device but he did, at least he'd believed it to be his own coming from somewhere inside, and he had to do some thinking before he proceeded. Albeit the fact that this was his most I'll prepped rescue mission, it wasn't his first and he knew the drill. The fucking signal was stationary, and if there's anything he knew about Jordan, it was that the man wouldn't be standing at a spot for as long as this one was. Jordan was a hot blooded fellow under fire and sometimes that pushed him to go irrational, acting before thinking and if that was the case currently, it only meant one thing. Thry weren't going in to rescue a little girl now, they had his best friend to think of now too. Those bastard obviously had him and that didn't bode well for them, he had to think and act fast. It was confirmed when he got the guys to converge and he turn

Jordan didn't think he'd make it out of that room alive, he didn't think the guys would make it in early enough to save them, yet here they were. But he owed Riley's life to the big guy that had been in the room with them. Tatt, they had called him. Though it irked him to hell and back that they'd taken her in the first place and he'd watched him get beaten to within an inch of his life, it was thanks to him that the raging, trigger happy asshole lying face flat on the floor hadn't killed his princess. With all the pain and blood running down his face, he managed a smile at the feel of the tiny arms around him. She'd run over to him as soon as she'd seen him. And it hard hurt him to see her like this, to have her see him like this, but it was okay because they were both fine. Thankfully, the surprise attack had worked. It wouldn't have though if Brad hadn't called the other guys back out because, as he'd just found out,

JoJo had it in her hands, the key to everything, to all their pain and fears and the mysteries and it felt so fucking small, do trivial in its size.It was her father's old watch, she could remember it from the years when she'd been younger.It was funny how all these details hadn't registered with her in all her rush to get to it, to retrieve it and save her sister.The hassle at the creepy firm she'd just been at and the ridiculously over priced ride home hadn't mattered one bit to her.It had all passed in a blur and she'd been standing over the phone waiting for the call to come in asking for it so she can go to wherever they want to drop it off, be it the end of the earth.But when it did, it had been Brad instead, asking her to stay put and giving her the best news she's heard all day.Her baby was okay.She couldn't wait to hold her again and confirm for herself that she was indeed okay.And while she waited, she's paced

"What did you say Brooks? She can talk?"She asked, her voice high pitched, breaking her embrace with the other woman.Brooks face was a dead give away to her question.God, no."Easy child, don't make this too hard on both of you. She had her reasons, reasons you appreciate one day."The disbelief was clear as day on JoJo's face."I don't think so Brooks," she cried, tears coming in torrents again."I've spent half my life devoted to her and the best she could do is lie to me? I don't think any reason can make up for that......"The older woman came to hold her again, letting her get all the tears out.She was about saying something else though when they heard a car pull up so close to the front door.JoJo jerked out of Brooks arms, her heart beating her to death.God, please let it be them, she prayed even as she rushed outside.The door opened and out came Adam carrying....."Oh my Go

Hailey stood in front of the whole family, her seven year old palms sweaty. She'd spent the whole night reciting this all over again, so it shouldn't be a big deal, yeah? "It's okay, baby, it's just us." Jojo whispered from her seat, her very pregnant belly making her movement strenuous. Yeah, just them. Well, here goes nothing. "Uhhmm, this is my family tree....." She started a little shyly, pointing to the treelike structure balanced on the table next to her, stuck full of pictures. Her voice was so small, but it carried around the room. "I made it myself, well, mummy helped.....a lot. And I'm taking it to school for show and tell on Monday." She could see her daddy giving her an encouraging thumbs up and it put the light into her eyes and confidence in her voice. "From the top, this is Granny Meghan and Grandpa Tommy who I didn't get to meet and they gave birth to my mommy and Riley. Too bad they died b

If JoJo had thought her life was a mess, the truth she'd just discovered crashed if past the grounds, it shattered every truth she's ever known and believed. Uncle Fer....... Fucking Ferdinand! That monster. He'd been the architect of a her pain and problem but he'd always crawled back to blow on them and make it seem like he'd cared. And to find out that he'd been her sperm donor, it killed her to believe it. Jordan was as struck as she was from what they'd read. She ached for her mother too, who'd had to live with all these for years, having no one to be by her side while she played sick and lost in a bid to protect her girls. It must have been hard, being in bed all year round, reliving the nightmares of both events and hating herself for being so weak. She swore she'd be stronger, for herself and Riley and they'd bring the man to Justice, for her mom. But I like her mom, she had Jordan by her side in these t

Jocelyn,Been so long I said your name, guess this might be last you'd hear me call you by your name.So many years have passed and sometimes I lie here, in bed and regret the decisions I made in the past.But I'll always hope you realise it was all for the best, I did what I did to keep you and your sister alive and out of the clutches of the devil, Ferdinand.The man is a devil that shouldn't have found his way into our lives, but he did and till date, we are all still suffering in the wake of all his evil deeds.Tommy, your father, bless his soul, was a good man, the best ever.I met them both while in college and yeah, Ferdinand asked to court me first, but my heart had been longing for another and I'd turned him down.Turns out that was a sin he couldn't forgive.

"No, that can't be." Jojo muttered in disgust as she watched the video playing out before her.There's no way this is true, no way it's him.It'd kill her to believe it was and see just how blind she's been all these years, to find out that her mom had been right all along......God, no.But her denial didn't bring any desired difference to what she'd seen, it didn't wipe the memory or make the video a prank.This had been the night she'd lost her father, this had been where his body had been found, there's no mistaking it, she'd never forgotten.It took Jordan rubbing down her back and asking her in a concerned voice to breathe, to realise she'd been holding her breath.Maybe if she holds it in long enough, she'd realise that all this is just a dream home wrong.Or maybe it wasn't and she was just in a hopeless denial."Please Jordan, tell me it's not him, tell me that's not Uncle Ferdie, I'll believe you."She sob

After Riley was fed and out with her very own little family, Alfie and puppy, JoJo got to work searching for that little box.It was one thing to loose her mother so unexpectedly, but to loose the last trace of evidence and her only hope to bringing whoever had been behind her decade old pain to justice?No fucking way!She turned the room they'd been in inside out in her search, but it was nowhere to be found.She was already halfway done with fixing it back up when it did occur to her that she'd last seen the box while lying in that bed with Jordan.It made a lot of sense to think that he had gone missing from the room at the same time her box had and that easily translates to it possibly being in his possession.It kinda pissed her to have him butting into her family issues without her permission, even without the confirmation that he had.Stupid, yeah, but it did embarrassment to have all her linens in his hands without any contro

JoJo woke before Riley did, there'd been nightmares that didn't let her hold onto the oblivion for too long. She was glad Riley wasn't subjected to the same fate though that didn't hold for long. Tiny feet and big, soulful brown eyes found her sooner than she'd have liked, clouded with visible confusion and fear. "Come here, baby girl." She called to her from where she stood at the door. It did just occur to her why the room looked emptier than she last remembered it. Jordan had been with her before she'd succumbed to the luring hands of sleep. "Come." Her voice was much softer, pleading and beckoning, she didn't want force her, that could be more harmful than it'd be good. The younger girl finally gave in, and came into the room, crawling into JoJo's laps. She held her, stroking her hair, the quietness that was hanging around the house making her nauseous. Maybe it's always been this quiet with

The twist got bigger the deeper he dug and the plot hole wider.There'd been a lot going on with Tom Collen and Ferdinand and the more he discovered, the clearer it got and the more his theory on Tom's murder held.The files on the card were too many to peruse at one go so he abandoned it for the line card he'd inserted to read.At first there seemed to be nothing of interest in it until he stumbled upon a video record.It looked to be from a security camera recording from long ago.He sat in his chair, watching it and wishing he didn't have to.It made it worse that this was what he'd have to show JoJo, the horror she'd have to see.If only he could save her this, the pain and the nightmare.She didn't deserve it, not do soon, not with everything she was dealing with.He dialed Brad instead, requesting for immediate audience.They've become an investigative team of their own after all,bent on riding the world of

She finally fell asleep, right in Jordan's arms, drained from all the tears she'd cried and all the grief she'd let herself become buried under.He understood her pain, he'd seen it, experienced it and it was nothing to joke about.And he'd give anything in a heartbeat to take it away from her, to see her face light up with one of those her beautiful smiles that always made his day.These times have been the hardest and this crown looks too heavy for the head wearing it.But one thing he was sure of was that he was going no where, he'd be her, by her side until it gets better and even then, there'd be no force strong enough to remove him from her life.He loves her more than he'd ever imagined he could love anyone, his baby girl, his JoJo.She looked calmed while she slept, a tad bit relaxed, better than she'd been when she'd been up and grieving.He leaned down, pressing his lips to her forehead in a gentle, tender kiss.Her g
