Finally it was Friday, Jake was somehow nervous because he would be meeting his grandfather the next day for dinner at the biggest restaurant in the whole of Brooklyn.After leaving his villa for school, he arrived in thirty minutes and settled down in class, but as usual, the bullies wouldn't let him be in peace.“ Here you're, I noticed that you no longer live in the school dorm, have you found a cheap house to live in?” One of the boys said to Jake who totally ignored him but put his earphones inside his ear, and pretended like he never heard them from the beginning.The boy was so annoyed that he dragged the earphone alongside Jake's phone, smashing it to the ground.“ How dare you!” Jake shouted and raised his fists to punch the boy but stopped midway, because he didn't want to cause any problem for Williams and his grandfather.“ What? Why did you punch me? Go on, do it if you can. I will make sure you never step your legs into any university in Brooklyn once you lay your filthy
Jake ran as fast as his legs could get him, chasing after the young man who stole from the perfume store.The chase was getting heated by each passing seconds but in no time, Jake caught up with the thief by throwing a flying kick at him, which made him fall flat to the ground.“ Who the fuck are you? Why can't you let me be?” The thief groaned as he turned around from the floor to glare at Jake who was breathing heavily because of the heavy chase.“ Do you know the amount of perfume you just stole? It's worth more than $7,000, are you aware that the cashier might get fired because of this single perfume?” Jake asked, his glares were murderous which made the thief shift back on his butt.“ Take the perfume and let me go” the thief tried to negotiate with Jake.“ I can see that you're also poor like me,” the thief said, looking at Jake's cheap clothes.“ How about we sell the perfume and share the money equally?” The thief was in for negotiation but Jake wasn't.“ I see that you still
Weston’s car kept following behind the cab that Jake was in and when he noticed that he was being followed, he told the cab driver to change direction.At first, he thought of going to the villa but had to change his mind so as to cut the trail off him. Jake decided to stop at a restaurant to eat. He paid off the cab driver who left afterwards.Seeing that Jake stopped in a restaurant, Weston stopped trailing him and left with Zara afterwards.“ What is their problem? Why are they after me?” Jake muttered and continued eating his dinner. After eating, he decided to visit the men’s washroom since he was feeling pressed.As he made his way to the washroom, he began to hear whimpers and muffled cries inside one of the men’s washroom.“ Who is that?” Jake frowned and wanted to help the person out, but he stopped himself from going any further. He turned around and left for another washroom, and after he was done he began to make his way out of the washroom, but stopped when the whimpe
NEX DAY“ Hello Young master, where are you? Chairman Lawson is already at the restaurant” Williams said at the other end of the phone.“ I am on my way, Williams. I had to take care of a mess last night which took my time until this afternoon” Jake replied as he was about to flag a cab.“ Don't call a cab, Young master. A red Lamborghini Gallardo is coming to pick you up in three minutes” Williams said,. making Jake raise his eyebrows.“ Who sent the car?”“ Chairman Lawson did. He just couldn't overlook the fact that the heir of Acrobatic Empire would come see him in a cab” Williams continued, making Jake chuckle.“ I see, that old man is a handful,” Jake mumbled. He was still speaking with Williams when a red Lamborghini Gallardo exactly as Williams explained it pulled in front of him. Two hefty looking men dressed in suits, came out of the car to welcome Jake.“ Good day, Young master. We were sent by the chairman to bring you to the restaurant “ one of the men said wh
Soon the chefs started dishing out the various delicacies.Jake was marvelled but hid it in. His excitement at that moment was second to none.Soon the chefs were done and they all left leaving the duo together under the ambiance of soft music inside the room.“ Dig in, you must be hungry” Grandpa Lawson urged with a smile.“ Thanks” Jake smiled and took his cutleries. He started eating slowly though he was tempted to dig in, but the first impression mattered most to him.Grandpa Lawson saw that Jake was eating slowly, causing him to chuckle.“ You want to leave a first impression? Huh?” The old man was impressed at how reserved and gentle his grandson was.“ Yeah,” Jake smiled awkwardly and began to dig in this time, since his grandpa already knew why he was eating slowly at first.They continued eating in silence for about thirty minutes until Jake was filled up and took a wipe to wipe his lips.“ I guess you're filled up already” Grandpa Lawson smiled and turned towards the kitchen
It was a bright summer afternoon in New York City. The streets were filled with activities. The roads were busy as cars went to and fro in a somewhat hypnotic scene. The legendary New York City, the city of towering dreams and endless possibilities. Amidst the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, hopes take flight like pigeons and set sail like ships. The dazzling lights of Times Square promise a future filled with excitement and chances waiting to be seized. In the midst of the urban buzz, pockets of beauty emerge—Central Park, a green haven where dreams find a peaceful spot. The Brooklyn Bridge links aspirations across the river, symbolising the connection between dreams and reality. Every neighbourhood, from the artsy SoHo to historic Greenwich Village, contributes to the city's diverse dreamscape. A city where each street corner tells a story, and the pursuit of dreams becomes a shared adventure beneath the twinkling skyline.“Kline!” a lean man in his forties called out.“Y
“What did you just call me?” Drex thundered again. His eyes were steamy and he was red with anger. His veins and muscles bulged in rhythm to his heavy breathing.Anger was evident on this huge man's face. Jake felt his courage leave him as soon as he was toe to toe with Drex. He immediately regretted his actions and wished he had kept silent instead of talking back at him. He braced himself for the worst as he attempted to give Drex a befitting response to his question.As Jake opened his mouth to speak, He was immediately interrupted by a sharp pain that struck his nose and lips. Blood trickled down his nostrils and lips. He spat out a wad of blood mixed with saliva.“Son of a bitch!” he muttered to himself as he realised that he had been punched in the face by Drex. He was a gym addict himself, and had quite a lot of stamina. If not, the punch would have instantly knocked him off his feet.He was still contemplating this when the second blow landed, jabbing him on his jaw, and this
Jake had just finished work for the day at Les Royales restaurant. As soon as he was allowed to leave, he took off his work uniform, hurriedly got on top of his bike, put on his backpack and put on his airpods. He switched on his favourite music playlist and sang along to the songs as he paddled swiftly towards his destination.Forty-five minutes later, He arrived at his destination, KwikStop Pizza. His night job where he had to do several door to door deliveries until daybreak. He went in, put on his uniform and resumed immediately. He hurried to his boss's office in order to receive his delivery list for the night as well as the deliveries to be delivered. He arrived at the office door and then knocked.“Hold on. I'll be with you in a minute!” his boss yelled from within the room. Sam, an employee came out of her office, sweating profusely, smiled at Jake and said “Hey man, you're here earlier than usual. The DILIGENT delivery guy.” he let out a loud laugh.His muscular figure seem
