Jake couldn't believe his ears. Did Madison actually say that to him? The woman he loved the most in this world actually insinuated that he was a thief. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. Why was she acting this way? What would she gain from accusing him falsely?

A hand touched his arms and Max whispered to him. "Sir, allow me to teach all of them a very hard lesson."

No! He couldn't possibly punish Madison. He still cared so much about her. He shook his head. "Don't worry about that. I'll handle it my own way."

As he made his way towards Madison, she instinctively stepped an inch backward. She feared what he was going to do to her for accusing him. She hadn't wanted to do it too, but she'd had to. If only he knew that was the only way to save all of them-----

Both of them just stared at each other without uttering a single word. Jake could immediately discern that she was struggling to maintain eye contact with him.

He glanced casually at Shane. "You! You're very lucky today. Thank your stars that you're still alive by now."

"Let's get going!" He said to Max, even though he didn't know where they were going.

Once outside, he quickly asked, "Who are you? And what's with the chairman thing earlier?"

Max smiled. Yes! He should be confused. Anyone would be. "Sir, I called you that because that's who you are. You are the chairman of McPherson's consortium."

He erupted into laughter, knowing it had to be a joke. What affiliations could he possibly have with such a big name?

 He walked away. Suddenly, he heard the loud screeching sound of a car's tires. He looked to his side to see a sleek black Lamborghini. The driver got out of the car, walked up to him, and bowed courtly. He opened the door and gestured for him to enter. "Mr chairman?"

Jake got more and more confused. What in God's name was really happening? First, it was a green premium card, now a sleek car. When did he suddenly become so rich? If this was really a dream, he wouldn't like it when he suddenly wakes up. He touched the car and felt it. It was really real? His eyes widened in shock.

"It's okay to be this way. Just get in and I'll explain everything to you as we move." Max whispered to his ears.

He didn't speak for a while, he just continued staring at Max. If Max really owned this vehicle, he must be stinkingly rich. He thought. "This--- how much--- how come you one this expensive car at your young age?" He blurted out and Max frowned in confusion.

"Own?" He touched his chest. "Chairman, this car belongs to you!" He declared to Jake's utmost surprise.

Jake swallowed hard in his throat. This car really belonged to him? What if he was lying? What if he wanted to kidnap him? Regardless of his wandering thoughts, he entered the car even so.

As they drove on the road, Max handed over a locked briefcase to him. "Your grandfather has asked me to become your secretary, I think that's the first thing you need to know. Then, he asked me to tell you that everything you need to know about the transfer of shares and ownership is inside the briefcase. Only your fingerprint can open the briefcase. You only have to sign the papers."

Signing of papers again. He smiled dryly, thinking about his divorce papers. Now that he thought about it, he must have lost it in the accident. He brought his kind back. "What do you mean by transfer of ownership?"

Max pursed his lips. "Like I said earlier, you are now the heir to the McPherson's consortium."

    “What about her?”. Sarah pointed to Elizabeth.Jake walked close to her and grabbed her by the clothes.“Give me one reason why I shouldn't put your body alongside theirs”.“I am not going to beg, I deserve anything you do to me”. Elizabeth said not displaying any fear.Jake released her.“I'm letting you go, not because I am too weak to kill you buy because you deserve a better punishment, you will live the rest of your miserable life, thinking about how you failed in this world, and the deaths of all these people will be upon you alone”.Elizabeth did not know when a tear dropped from her eyes, she would have preferred death over leaving like this, when no one was looking she grabbed a gun and shot herself in the head. Jake didn't say anything, he didn't even feel anything, he only held Sarah close to himself and said, “Let's go”.They drove back to the house, and this time it was finally over, when they got in neither Cassandra nor the old man was at home, and a maid told them that

    Aiden's grip on Tyler was strong, he pulled him along to a safe spot away from the bullets that flew recklessly, “What has gotten into you, do you want to die? is your life not important to you, how can you rush head on just to get the deed”.Tyler was not listening, his mind was roaming,“Aiden, I've got a plan, since it's just the two of them and we have more men that are armed, why don't you distract them, while they try to catch up with you, I will just round up around the back and pick up the deed, he dropped it when he shot that guy I saw it”.Aiden was not okay with it, but Tyler can be very persistent, “Okay, but make sure to come to the car in ten minutes, I will try to hold them off for that time”. They followed different directions.When Aiden looked out he didn't see Sarah or Jake, he never thought Jake would have the balls to pull a fast one on them, he has to be careful, he saw three of his men and told them to go with him quickly, but Max ambushed them and Sarah's men,

    Tyler started laughing, he laughed so hard and loud that tears formed around his eyes, Jake even wondered what was so funny about what he said, when he got his breath back he looked into Jake's eyes, “I always knew you were a smart guy, that is why handling you has been theost difficult task to do, i hear your terms but I don't know if Aiden will agree to it, if he doesn't agree to it you have no choice but to come along with it”.“I have a choice and I'm not giving the deed until I see that Sarah is safe and she is beside me”.“You are quite adamant, fine I'll see what I can do to make him accept, although it will be difficult, don't get your hopes up”. Tyler still laughed a bit as he turned his wheelchair and wheeled himself out.Jake gave a huge sigh as he left, that should work, in two days the would have Sarah back, he called in Max who had fully resumed work with Jake.“I just saw Tyler leaving, still on his wheelchair”. Max said.“I am surprised as well, anyways let's forget ab

    “Jake?, I've studied him even before Robinson found him, I got to know who he really was but I didn't make any move on him, keeping his identity secret guaranteed his safety more than anything else, but when Robinson found him out he did not hesitate to announce him as chairman, knowing fully well that the people on the hunt for his existence will stop at nothing to find him”.Elizabeth just gave Sarah some useful information, “if you had found him long before, why didn't you approach him in secret, he must have yearned for a family like you all those years, and probably prepared his mind for events like this' '.“You are not getting me at all, revealing myself would have posed a lot of threat to him then and could have gotten him killed, how did you think we were able to manipulate his ex-wife and her new husband into going against him, at least he has the resources to defend himself now, I don't even have anything to say, just that I am not scared of anything happening to me now, I

    Aiden walked straight to where she was huddled and sat beside her not minding her hateful stare, “I am going to ask you one last time, why have you not been eating the food brought to you?”.“Because I'm not hungry, I don't feel like eating anything”.“But you drink the water, do you think the food is poisoned if so it would be easier to poison the water that you drank without any hassle, now listen here, I'm not giving you the food out of courtesy, I'm giving you to hold my end of the deal with your boyfriend, although I promise to give you back to him in one piece, that is if he delivers what I want on time, so next time one of my men bring in your food, I need you to eat and finish it up, do you understand me?”. Sarah gave a nod to show she understood everything that he said.“Good girl”. He tapped her cheeks and left the room with Tyler.“So what do we do now?, Do we just sit and wait?” Tyler asked Aiden.“That is the only thing we can do, wait for him to come to us, don't worry y

    Cassandra grumbled loudly but it fell on deaf ears, “I am now a married woman, you both can't keep making decisions for me”.“Not when it concerns your safety, we will make the decisions to the end, I need you to comply with this one Cassie and I'm not asking”. Max said with a tone of finality.The next day Jake had assembled the top members of his board and Important executives from different branches, he also got a small amount of media personnel to be in the room with them, he was making a statement to Aiden and Tyler, that he was doing as they asked.“Gentleman and ladies, you all must have been wondering the reason for this gathering, as you all know, my grandfather your former chairman found me after plenty of years of searching, and when he finally did, he did not bother that I did not grow up learning the family business, or that I had no idea how to keep his legacy running, but he entrusted me with it all the same, I have tried all I could from when I resumed my responsibilit
