“What do you mean something to hide? I have an appointment. That's why I am asking." Keira said as she cleared her throat awkwardly. Despite the fact she was acting suspicious, all her siblings knew that she couldn't be the one. She was too dumb to do such a thing. “ Miss Zac Franco Junior, please tell me where you were last night?" Jake heard the police officer ask as he questioned the first member of the Franco family. “ I was in London. You can ask my roommate. I was in the dorm all day and decided to go out partying in the night. My name even got caught up for a brief moment on the news. I heard about it this morning and flew down here immediately." Jake heard Scarlett's brother say as he brought out his phone showing the police officer. Watching the police officer gaze at the phone, Jake couldn't tell if the police officer had caught him lying or not. His godfather had once talked about the young boy he had given his name too. Zac was a was a young boy that you'd call the part
“What are you doing here? Where have you been?" Jake asked Alexa as he looked at her. “ What are you doing here? Do you have a guest?" Alexa asked as she stood in front of the door looking behind Jake. She already guessed there was someone inside. She wouldn't have gotten the message if the person didn't want her to catch Jake together with her. She just wanted to know who it was. “ Now is not the right time. Maybe you should co-" Jake said cut off as Alexa pushed him entering inside. “ Hello dear sister." Scarlett said as she waved her hand smiling at Alexa. The air in the room seemed to have become hot all of a sudden. Following behind Alexa, Jake paused as he watched the interaction between the two sisters. He had no idea how she had gotten to his room but he had no explanation to give Alexa either. The Franco children were all fighting over the inheritance of their father. Since he had already sided with Alexa, he did it want her thinking that he had betrayed her. “ Listen,
Few weeks later, Jake came out of the cab looking at one of the biggest courthouses in the state. Many influencial judges had been assigned to that courthouse therefore making the place very famous. Looking at the courthouse, Jake couldn't help but feel worried as he watched many people come out of it. Some of them had smiles on their faces while others were crying. What exactly was going to be his fate today? “ The court will be taking the two deeds for examination. You will get a result next week. Case dismissed." Jake heard the male judge say as he hit his little hammer on the table before leaving. Looking at Alexa, Jake shook his head smiling. This was why she had been so confident before. “ I didn't know you were a lawyer. Is this why you were adamant about us meeting in the court? No wonder." Abraham said as he giggled looking at Alexa but she didn't seem fazed at all. “ Don't worry, Mr. Fisher. The court now has both the deeds to the restaurant. I suggest that you yield. Th
Watching the Fisher family lawyer move away to call someone, Jake drew closer to meet Alexa whispering in her ear. “ Are you sure this will work?" Jake asked watching as she turned to look at him. Her cute little smile was enchanting as she looked at him for a brief second. For the first time since they had come here, he noticed what she was wearing. A short leather skirt with a matching black leather jacket and a white crop top shirt inside. Her leather boots were long reaching up to her knees but it didn't cover her beautiful slim thighs that looked so glossy and perfect. He was already imagining himself doing all sort of crazy things to her as he held her thighs up. “ This isn't good.” Jake muttered under his breath as he turned away. “ Did you say something?” Alexa asked immediately making him stunned. “ Nope. I didn't say anything. Did you hear something?” Jake asked trying hard to cover things up. Just then, the Fisher family lawyer returned back looking at the two of them
Unable to get over his parents death, Jake returned back to the restaurant. Even though the police claimed that they were looking for their murders, he knew better. They had not even found the handkerchief that was near the door. But who exactly did it belong to? “Hello. Are you the son of the owners of this place?" Jake heard a middle aged woman say as she came into the restaurant. Standing up from his chair, Jake nodded his head slowly wondering what she wanted. She didn't look like anyone dangerous since ehe was dressed in a corporate outfit. “Yes, I am their son. Jake Moss. Who are you?" Jake asked as he used his arm to clean his face. “ I am from the bank. Your parents are now gone therefore you should vacate this place as soon as possible.” Jake heard the middle aged woman say. “ What do you mean by that? This place belongs to my parents." Jake argued. " No. It belongs to Abraham Fisher. This building is a property of the Fisher family therefore you should leave as soon as
Groaning as he stood up, Jake tried to go after the men holding Juliet. Even though he had broken a few ribs, he wasn't going to allow them lock her up again. Just as he was about to go and attack them, the door bell rang stopping him and the men in their tracks. Watching his father-in-law glance at the maids to open the door, Jake cleaned his mouth as he looked at his daughter. He didn't want her to see him like this. “ Is this the Fisher family house?” A man asked at the door making the air fill of tension. Watching the maid whisper some things at the door, Jake looked around and saw that their attention was focused on what was happening. Glancing at his daughter, Jake signaled her what to do to get out of the grasp of the person holding her. Just as he had instructed, Juliet bit the hand of the man that had been holding her surprising him. The sudden scream of the man immediately startled everyone as they turned their attention towards him. “ Was that a scream I heard just now?”
Abraham and Khloe continued to welcome all the guests that came in personally. They were all wealthy people that could be used which made them important. Suddenly, people around them started to gasp in shock gaining their attention. Looking back, they saw a shocking scene. Jake was holding Alexa's hand as they walked in. Suprised by what was going on, Abraham stepped forward leaving what he was doing and Khloe followed. This was unacceptable. Especially since most of the people here had been at Khloe's wedding before. They already knew that Jake was Khloe's hidden husband. “ Mr. Fisher, long time no see. How have you been doing? Hope your health is better now?” Jake heard Alexa ask as he stood with her. It was obvious that she was finding trouble but he didn't care. Since they didn't want him there, they would have to take it as they saw him. “ Is this a joke? Don't you know that Jake is a married man? You were at Khloe's wedding." Abraham said in distain as he looked at Alexa. “
When Abraham had finally left, Jake watched as the two guards that had been standing in front of the door finally open it. Watching his little girl run out, Jake opened his arm allowing her to run to him. Hearing his daughter cry so loudly in his arms was even more terrifying than when he had heard her scream. His daughter was claustrophobic and he had no idea until now. “It's okay. It's okay." Jake said as he patted his daughter's hair slowly. Few minutes later, he came back to his room burning with his desire to kill someone. Abraham had showed him how ruthless he could be in the past however, he didn't expect that he would do such a thing to do his own granddaughter. “ Get out! I said get the hell out of my room!” Jake shouted as he threw Khloe's things out of the wardrobe. “ What are you doing? Do you think that this will make my father mad? Wait. Do you want to move Juliet here? She's a girl." Jake heard Khloe say making him throw her bag at her in anger. “ And she is your fu
“ I don't think that's necessary. The both of us are already grown. We don't have to sleep together." Jake said trying to convince Abraham. “ Of course you have to. She's your wife. Isn't that the reason why you came back?” Jake heard Abraham ask. Knowing that he certainly wasn't going to win, Jake resigned himself to his fate. He didn't have any solid power in the house. If there was any reason why they were tolerating him, it was because of his relationship with Franco. Heading back to his room first, he decided to take a shower. Turning the temperature all the way to cold, Jake stepped into shower immediately to let the water hit him. It was a habit he has gained in prison even though he had the option to use hot water thanks to Franco since he was always going to his room. “ Jake? Are you inside? Where are you?” Jake heard Khloe ask from outside the bathroom. He remained silent because he didn't want her to see him naked. His entire body was now covered with scars and tattoos
