“Nice to meet you,” Jeremy extended his hands for a handshake but instead of a handshake, Collins moved in for a hug. Jeremy stiffened for a millisecond the hug lasted and frowned when the man smiled wide. “So, how are you finding the party, Jeremy?” The man asked, leading Jeremy towards the various takes where different men played games. A few women were also in attendance and they were dressed normally. Jeremy could not help wondering if all of the people out there were new members like he was or maybe they were just floor members and not executives. The man showing him around was an older man with a pretty face and huge glasses. He looked more like a nerd than a billionaire. Jeremy noticed a lot of other men that he recognized in a casino looking parry. Some of them waved at him and he waved back. He was still a bit uneasy the deeper they went into the room. “So, what do you think?” He aske

"Your wife? That woman is my property, my wife." "Look man, I don't know what century you are from but women are no longer properties and she is mine. You come near her and I'll kill her and then kill you." Jeremy's words were vicious. The big man's eyes widened in shock. "Are you insane?" He asked. "I'm more than insane. Catherine belongs to me and will only belong to me.* Catherine was behind Jeremy shivering in fear now. "Fine, you can have her but watch your back ... this isn't over." The big man warned and turned around, knowing he wouldn't be able to win this battle in such a public place. His only option was to leave and bid his time. "Thank you so much," Catherine said to Jeremy as soon as the man left. Jermey glared at her. "Keep your thanks to yourself and stay away from me." He spat and began to walk towards the boarding terminal. His phone rang before he could g

Jeremy stepped into the elevator, pressing the button for the twelfth floor as he continued his phone conversation with his little sister, Naomi. "How's school treating you?" he asked, concern etched in his voice. "I'm exhausted," Naomi replied, packing her books as she got ready for class. "I just can't wait to finally graduate." Jeremy chuckled. "Well, hang in there, kiddo. You're almost there." Naomi's sigh was audible. "I know, but it feels like forever." Jeremy's expression turned serious. "Listen, Naomi, I need to remind you to be careful, okay? Don't draw attention to yourself." Naomi's tone was laced with understanding. "You don't have to tell me twice, bro." Jeremy could sense the unspoken memories lingering between them. Naomi's kidnapping still haunted him, and he knew it did her too. "I know I don't," Jeremy continued. "But I just want to make s

Sophia walked back into her mansion, smiling from ear to ear. She knew Jeremy was going to take the bait because he'd want to protect his empire and his loved ones. Now, all she had to do was wait. It was his fault she'd gotten kicked out of the organization and she wasn't about to let that go. “What are you smiling about, Sophia?” Reginald asked, walking towards where she sat crossed leg on the couch, nursing a drink. “My plans.” “What plans?” He questioned as he took the glass of wine from his wife and drank. “Hope you haven't gone to create a mess as usual.” Sophia glared at her husband and stole the wineglass from Amy quickly got ready to go for her birthday dinner with her boss. To say she was excited was an understatement. She'd gotten a beautiful red dress that complimented her skin tone and some silver pumps to go with it. She got a few other clot

“So, no kissing?” Carly sounded disappointed. “Of course no kissing, he is my boss!” “Yes, you both were supposed to have sex, like the movies.” “Well, life is not like the movies… he did ask me out on a date though.” Carly perked up at that. “What?” “Well, not a date more like for coffee…” “Why the hell didn't you lead with this?!” Carly glared through the screen. “I wanted to purnish you a bit for making me almost run mad with anxiety.” “You are actually insane! Oh my God, I am so glad.” “Don't be glad. I'm nervous.” “Why? You've always wanted this.” “Yes, but what if I'm overthinking it and it's not a date?” “Did he categorically tell you it was a date?” Carly asked. “Well, he said yes when I asked but he is my boss, he was probably drunk and in high spirits when he said that.* Amy admitted. “
