“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

“You made the best decision.” Harry patted Jack on the back.“Let's hope so.” Jack's response was unsure and lacked conviction. After meeting with the board of directors of the company which no longer existed, he had driven back home where he met Harry waiting for him. He needed to clear his head.“Thank you for coming down here. Your presence means a lot, bro.” Jack spoke after a stretched minute of silence.“Anything for you.” Harry replied. “I believe you'll bounce back soon.”“Thanks. So, how is your girlfriend doing?” Jack asked, shifting the focus of the conversation away from himself.“She is perfect. Best gift I got this year, and that's on jah.” Harry replied.“Any plans to settle down? You know you're getting really old. You should make me an uncle already.” Jack joked and they both laughed. ***“The infamous Damian Woods. Nice to finally meet you.” Jack said. He was seated in front of Damian in his office. Weeks after merging his two companies, things were starting to go w

Jack drove out at insane speed, breaking the speed limit. He manuvered past the many cars that plied the room as the covered the distance from in office to Karen's house in few minutes. He parked his car carelessly in her entrance and jumped out. Her car was still parked in the garage so he walked to the door, trying to pull it open. After trying twice, he realized it was locked from the inside. He cussed as he stared at the door, slowly running out of options. He moved backwards and slammed his shoulder on the door and still, it remained unmoved.He walked to her garage and found a metal pipe. He picked it up and returned to the door. He used the pipe to break a part of the glass, putting his hand through the hole to unlock the door. He pushed the door open and stepped in. He scanned the entirety of the sitting room and when he didn't find her, he ran towards the staircase. He climbed the steps carefully and when he was nearing the top, he started hearing whimpering. Someone was cryin

Harry and Ciara announced their engagement to their friends and family the next day. Harry had opted to go for a private proposal because he wasn't so sure she would say yes. They had known each other for less than a year, and he wasn't sure if it was enough for her to choose to settle down with him.“I told you she would accept.” Jack stated while they played video games together one day.“I don't know what I would have done if she didn't.” Harry replied.“Well, let's plan the wedding. When and where do you want it?”“In the next six months. I haven't picked a location yet. Maybe under the ocean.” Harry joked.“Isn't six months too far apart?” Jack questioned. He felt having to wait for the next six months before tying the knot was a waste of time.“Nope. Besides, that's how we want it.” Harry replied, ending the debate. ***Karen packed some of her clothes into a bag and packed her baby's clothes too. She rolled the box to the sitting room to wait for Jack's arrival. She was travell

“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
