VERA'S POVI felt guilty watching Monica narrate the series of unfortunate events that had made her make a hasty decision in fear of the unknown and leaving her beloved ones.As Hannah drove us out of the compound which could have been hers to govern. All that Jack lost when he was in coma, he recovered all of it back for her and promised even more, but fate played a card on them.That card fate played on them was that they expected the head to stay up when they flipped it over, but it bounced back and they were greeted by the tail. Their dreams shattered and that brought me inbetween.I wouldn't have believed Monica, I wanted to cut her off at first and tell her to stop lying so much just for Jack's attention, but I could see how pale and sad she was.Jack kept his promise. He built that palace, added her favorite place where they would spend time together and bought practically everything she would have loved to have.He's that kind of man. He went extra miles to protect the people

JACKSON'S POVI hesitated before closing Vera's door, then I entered Nathan's sitting room so I would have him look out for her. "You don't have to worry about her, that's why I came back, right?" Nathan assured me immediately I stepped into his room.He exited to the kitchen and came out seconds later with a cup of iced tea. I knew that was what he was going to do, and I needed it so I didn't stop him.I took the cup and drained the tea in one take before giving it back to him. He watched me skeptically."Is anything the matter?" He asked suspiciously."I'm going out of my mind trying to figure out what's going on in my life recently. Just one moment of happiness, then millions of problems surface!" I found it hard to open up to him."Hey man, it's one of those days when it seems the world is collapsing on our shoulders and everything bright turns dark. But you and I know it is just for a limited time," he said encouragingly."I don't think you understand. This one lingers on and I

JACKSON'S POVWhen I woke up and found out that Vera and Timothy weren't in the house, I knew that she must've came up with an idea on how to make me open up to her.What she doesn't understand is that I am trying to help her and the only way to do that effectively without any further hindrance is to keep her safe and out of harm's way.She doesn't have to know what is going on because she would want to go out with me and that would put her in trouble again. It is not easy for me to do it my own way without giving her the quality attention that she deserves!I just don't want to get her in trouble while facing George Kenneth. She needs to be unaware of the battle for me to be able to think carefully and defeat the man without problems.When I called the office and she picked up, I knew at once that she was really serious about starting her work again. It's not like I don't want her by my side always, it is because Ken's men might be out there looking for her since she's the only bait

WRITER'S POVJackson took one last glance at Vera's face before he finally ran his tongue over one of her firm nipples. He smiled inwardly at the way she twitched her body as if she was being electrocuted.Vera sucked in a breath when his tongue touched her nipple. That single moment of glory sent sparks through her body and made her bite her finger in an attempt to stop herself from screaming out.As if he derived joy from teasing her like that, he repeated that same thing before he pinched her nipples with both hands at the same time. He didn't miss the plea in her eyes when he looked into them."Jack…""I'm gonna whip your ãss if you talk again." He cut her words off.She nodded, swallowed hard and clenched her teeth. Her hands tried to grasp something, just anything that would help her stop vibrating like a buzzing phone.When his fingers traveled slowly to her p*ssy, her breath caught in her throat as she tried not to make a noise. Her fingers flew up to grasp his hair.As he ins

JACKSON'S POVBefore I reached Vera's house after Nathan called me, the cops were already there with him. I met them in the parking lot as Nathan and a dark girl was taken into the ambulance.I wanted to rush back into my car and follow the ambulance to the hospital, but I must talk to the police and see what their camera was able to get. Harry, a huge boy with a shabby hair that makes people easily mistake him for a thug was told to show me what the camera caught in one of the police cars.He's a good boy that grew up on the bad side of the street, so the Sheriff decided to help him fix his life before he becomes a threàt to the county.He is just the best bait to catch the bad boys since he grew up in their midst and he's doing a very good job in the sheriff department. It is good for him since he accepted to be cleaned up.He was quick in opening the palmtop in the car as he tapped the play button. He handed it over to me and I looked keenly at the screen so I wouldn't miss anythi
