*Jake POV*The meeting with the president and Egyptians did not yield much besides providing to us with information of just how valuable my mother’s ring is. They are obviously not impressed when we turn down the offer, but they can’t force us.The following day, the ring and its value is all over the news. I suspect it’s a strategy by the Egyptians to get us to sell. Keeping such a valuable possession is dangerous, I can’t even get an insurance company to insure it. Tanya still refuses for us to sell but she can’t wear it anymore now. Luckily, we have a secured glass exhibition area in our lounge where her miss universe crown is kept. We place it with the crown, the laser beams and our security system should be enough to keep it secured.“Jake, look!” Tanya exclaims, showing me the social media posts.I look at the footage of Leticia throwing the ring at me with mixed feelings. I was really devastated and my whole world had come crushing down that day. She had posted that on her prof

*George POV*It’s just over six months since we got out of prison. The boys want revenge as in yesterday. I do too but I know better now. I underestimated my rival and got burned fucken bad. It will take a lifetime for me to recover from what Jake did. I shut the door to my study and click on the untraceable link for our weekly meetings. “George here,” Mathew announces. We are careful not to be seen anywhere together these days. I have not seen anything but I know that Jake is watching us. He would be an idiot not to and if it’s not him then it’s our country’s ghosts, his godfathers. “Hi George. We are all here. Can we start?” Rick asks impatiently but I already know what they want. “We can, but we are not attacking that mother fucker yet,” I say decisively. I have somehow become the voice of reason to all of them now and they are not pleased with me. “Told you guys,” Lance responds but I don’t care. I am all about self preservation these days. I still have granddad’s millions

*George POV*I lay on my bed with Leticia on my side. She is behaving like a perfect girlfriend but I am not so naive. She, like almost every woman out there now is crazy about the idiot. I am pretty sure that she even dreams about that pestilent. I know about the sexy photos of Jake she has hidden in her inbox. I have seen her ogling them when she thinks no one is looking. Her being hung up on Jake is exactly what I need her for. The whole country saw her lose it at Jake’s wedding. No one would be surprised if she did something stupid like killing Tanya and even Jake.There are also a multiple defaced photos of Tanya there.Her daft head does not know that I have hidden cameras around the mansion. I pretend not to notice anything. I intentionally mentioned Jake’s billion dollars ring while on the call with Mathew because I know that she is listening. A day later, she has several photographs of it. All that will be evidence that she has been stalking Jake and Tanya. I now have an esca

*Jake POV*Tanya and I check in at the off the grid ARF quarters, while an undercover agent boards the plane as my imposter. Tom and Len tried their best to convince me to go with their plan, but that was a risk I was not willing to take. A fake me heads to the summit and fake Tanya remains at home is what we settled to.“This place is not too bad,” she says before taking off her shoes and lying on the couch. I get her point. The place looks nothing like what I imagined. It’s more like a very secured five star apartment with everything one can need. I sit at her feet and massage them. I can tell that she is exhausted. It does not help that being married to me has brought her so many enemies, but she never complains. “I doubt it was always like this. I bet my crazy godfathers revamped this place just for you,” I say and she shrugs. Tom and Len are very fond of my wife. While her mother and sister think that I am spoiling her rotten, they think she deserves to be spoiled more. They e

*George POV*The guys and I make a toast as the plane pass the Usherway border. All we need to do now is meet the Egyptians, sell that pestilent’s ring and we are set for life. We will never have to work. “The VP has been taken to hospital after hearing the news about the tragic death of his wife.”The news reports and I can’t help but laugh at that before making another toast. The idiot thought he could win against us. How foolish!Two days later, we meet the Egyptians. Dudea are so jumpy, they insists on scanning us from head to toe.“Can we trust these guys,” Lance whispers to me. “We can’t see their faces. They are armed and insist that we should leave our weapons outside,” he adds while I laugh. This Jake thing has made him paranoid. “Relax. They just want the ring.”He reluctantly walks in. I am uneasy when negotiations begin and they still have their faces covered. We could be selling this ring to ARF without knowing. Their accent is Egyptian but that does not really prove an
