Chapter 1
‘You are rejected, Jones! You are a bastard, an outcast!’ A man shouted at an unseen object, facing the entrance and addressing the rest of the family members who stood around a body that lay lifeless on the bed and was covered in white cloth.
Jones who was crying and looking at his father's corpse on the bed, peeping through the window,'He was the one who killed his mother some years after giving birth to him, and now he has done it again. He has kicked my brother out of earth like a ball. Jones must….’ He fumed seriously but was cut short by Jones outrageously from the outside.'It is a lie! You are a liar.’'Who is that!’ He asked angrily and sensed it was Jones' voice. 'Get that boy for me! He must be dealt with.’Some hefty guys from inside moved towards the door in search of Jones. Jones saw them and turned away. He headed for the way out of his family's huge and vast mansions and ran for his life as if his heels would touch his back.‘Hit him down!’ The man shouted again to the guys who were then in a car chasing Jones. They moved the car faster towards him. He put more effort, into trying to reach for the gate because his hope lay behind it only. Their car moved closer to him but he didn't give up. But before he could make it, he suddenly heard a bang and was hit from behind.He screamed sadly and loudly with tears, ‘Nooooo!’ He crumpled to the ground.************************************************'Why are you here…I mean where are you going by this time of the day?’ Lisa's mom with her husband jammed Jones at the door when he was going to work and looked at him scornfully. He was a lanky guy of medium stature. He wore moderate blue jeans and trousers with a white top under a navy blue jacket.'I'm going to work. But is it not too early to come here? Hope there is no problem?’ He asked with suspicion.'What a foolish question you are asking! Do we need to take a Visa or make an announcement to the whole world before we can visit our daughter?’ Her father snapped into the conversation and pushed Jones to one. He looked at him like a lion which was ready to devour.'That is not what I mean. I mean we are good.’'Good! Matthew! Where is my Gem? Lisa….Lisa!’ Her mother said pitifully, moving towards her room.Jones stood by the entrance where he was swept to, looking at their display and the castigating attitudes they were given.'Oh My God! My daughter has suffered so much at the hands of this poor man. Look at her… look at how my beautiful daughter has been turned into a slave girl.’ She said mockingly, caressing her dazzling petite daughter with an alluring face.‘I’m sorry to say but it is a must that you hear this. I don't and I will never do anything bad for your daughter. Ask her…I look and live like this to take care of her and make her happy. You get it wrong for those things you are saying against me. She is my wife and I'm trying my best to be a true man. That is why you will see that she has not met the awkward way you married her to me. I deserve all forms of respect. It doesn't matter what I do to make it happen; I always do my responsibilities.’ He said frankly.'You are useless more than the kind of man you call yourself or think you are.’ Said Lanadisdainfully and firmly to him. He was shocked to hear such his wife whom he toiled both nights and days for.‘Are you talking to me, Lisa?’ he asked, confused.She continued. 'Yes, you, Macking Jones. Moreso, you aren't worthy of a person who can talk to my parents like that, Jones. Though you stood by my side when I was suffering from epilepsy and when I got nothing that you sponsored and got me a job which makes me thousands of dollars now, I have given you enough of my life, class, and attention. It is ridiculous to be seen with somebody like you at this stage of my life. You need to move on with your life.’'My love for you is boundless and immeasurable. But if you are in a trance, Lisa, you need to wake up because what you are saying points out an ingrate in you. You also need to reason with what you just said about my help to you. And it is because I want to make you happy that I work hard, wake up early, and live as nothing to make you something. They have their lives already. This is our lives and our world; Lanadon't let anybody shatter it.’ said he, moving towards him.'You are suffering for yourself. You might be working three different jobs a day, that is what you choose your life for. I'm done with you. Let everybody go his way before this issue gets worse. You look like a log of wood seeing you by my side but I don't know how to say it to your hearing that you will understand because you are a defiant. You are disturbing me with your disgusting fate. There are so many rich guys even younger than you who want my hand in marriage and I'm ready to sacrifice my heart to the one I have chosen over you. Jones, enough is enough! I'm no more interested in you.’ she concluded.Jones was dumbfounded. Everything looked like a dream to him but to his in-laws, that was great seeing the man who saved the life of their daughter being torn off like a tissue of paper.He intended to reply to her but he suddenly got a call. He picked it up quickly like a baby shivering from a tense cold, thinking of who it may be. His in-laws and wife looked at him and burst into a laughter of jest.Some said mockingly, ‘Coward!’'Hello.’'Hello.' response from the receiver.‘Who is this, please?’'Is this Mr Mackin Jones?’'Yes, it's me.’ He said eagerly.'Your attention is urgently needed at Real Bank of London now. Thanks.’ the person hung up from the receiver.Nobody heard what the caller said, but they were looking at Jones like the coward he had been called. Though the word ‘urgently’ rang in his brain, he was confused about who the caller might be and for what purpose. Had he been appointed as part of their bankers or had somebody wanted to give him money or had his family regretted chasing him out and wanted him back? It was obscure to him; how could one be given a job without applying for it or without being an expert in the field, how could someone he didn't work for or know give him money, how could the family that nearly killed him seek for him? He was thinking in his mind, trying to remember the horrible incident that happened to him 10 years ago but he decided to wave it off until another time.‘I have to go, Lisa, I will be back!’ He departed confidently without looking at anybody.‘And you will blame yourself for returning to this house.’ said her, shouting at his back.Expand

The Rise of Mackin Jones Chapter 118
The city had an eerie calm, like the moment before a storm.Luis and Maria knew it well—it was the silence that came before the retaliation. Orlov hadn’t made a move yet, but they both felt it in the air. He was waiting, preparing, and biding his time to strike when they least expected it.Luis stood in front of the massive windows of the penthouse, the city sprawled beneath him like a glittering maze of power and corruption. His mind raced, going over the steps they’d taken to weaken Orlov, but something nagbed at him.They had hit him hard, taken out his warehouses, and disrupted his supply lines, but it didn’t feel like enough. Orlov was too smart, too calculated, to be brought down so easily.“We’ve got eyes on his remaining assets,” Maria said, stepping into the room, her tone clipped but focused. She held a tablet in her hand, showing a live feed from one of their surveillance teams.Luis glanced at her, his jaw tight. “Any movement?”Maria shook her head, frustration flashing i

The Rise of Mackin Jones Chapter 117
The city was alive with whispers and murmurs of a new force rising in the shadows.Luis and Maria had thought they’d crushed Avernus, but in the days following their attack, it had become clear that their victory was only temporary. A larger force was at play, one more organised and dangerous than anything they had faced before.Luis sat at his desk in the penthouse, fingers drumming against the polished wood. The city sprawled out beneath him, a glittering beast that never slept. The calm after the storm always felt like a trap, and he could feel the tension in the air.Bones entered the room, his face grim. “We’ve got a name.”Luis looked up sharply, the tension in his jaw visible. “Who is it?”Bones tossed a file onto the desk. “Nikolai Orlov. He’s the one pulling the strings.”Maria, seated across from Luis, raised an eyebrow. The name wasn’t familiar, but the weight of it hung heavy in the air. She flipped open the file, scanning the details. “He’s Russian. Former military ties t

The Rise of Mackin Jones Chapter 116
Luis leaned back in his chair, staring at the map laid out before him. The Westside was a web of power and influence, but Avernus was at the centre of it now.They had been patient, slowly building their empire in the shadows, but now they were emerging. And Luis knew they had to be stopped.“They’re moving fast,” Bones said, standing beside him. “Buying up properties, making connections. They’ve got political backing too. The kind that makes it hard to touch them.”Luis’s jaw tightened. Political connections meant trouble. It meant Avernus had protection, the kind that couldn’t be taken down with a bullet. Not easily.Maria entered the room, her eyes scanning the map. “We need leverage. Something that hits them where they can’t hide.”Luis nodded. “We need to make them vulnerable. Expose them for what they are.”Maria’s gaze was sharp, her mind already racing. “We hit their reputation. Politicians won’t back them if they’re too much of a liability.”Bones grunted in agreement. “And o

The night was cool, but the tension was sucking.Luis and Maria moved with precision, their steps silent as they approached the glass doors of the sleek office building. This was Avernus Holdings’ heart—their new stronghold on the Westside—and tonight, the Borsens were going to cut it out.Luis paused at the entrance, his hand resting lightly on the handle. “Let’s make this quick,” he muttered.Maria, standing beside him, smiled faintly. This was the part she lived for. “Quick. But not too easy.”Luis nodded, his pulse steady despite the danger looming ahead. They weren’t here to negotiate. They weren’t here to talk. They were here to send a message.He pushed the door open. The quiet hum of the building swallowed them as they slipped inside. No alarms. No guards in sight. Too quiet.Maria’s eyes scanned the lobby, her hand hovering over her gun. “Where is everyone?”Luis didn’t answer, but his jaw tightened. It felt wrong. His instincts screaming at him. Something was off.A faint so

The Rise of Mackin Jones Chapter 114
The Westside had always been different from the rest of the city. It was sleek and polished, hiding power beneath wealth.Luis and Maria knew it all too well. But now there was a new force rising in the shadows, trying to take a slice of their empire. Avernus Holdings—the name had come up more than once, whispered in alleys, muttered by informants. It wasn’t just another local gang.This was something bigger. Something more dangerous.Luis leaned against the cool metal railing of the penthouse balcony, his eyes scanning the distant skyline. The city was a living beast, always moving, and shifting. And now the Westside was stirring.“We’ve got a problem,” Maria’s voice cut through the night air. She stepped onto the balcony, her gaze sharp. “Bones just confirmed it. Avernus Holdings has been buying up properties, and making moves. Quietly, but quickly.”Luis didn’t move; his eyes were still fixed on the city below. “How many properties?”“Four, so far. They’re not just snatching up rea

The Rise of Mackin Jones Chapter 113
The city had fallen into an uneasy calm.The Borsens were at the height of their power, with the Southside, Eastside, and now even the edges of the Westside firmly under their control. But Luis and Maria knew better than to mistake calm for peace. Power in the city was always shifting—a fluid, dangerous force that could turn in an instant.Even as they celebrated their victory over Volkov, they were aware that the silence carried with it the weight of anticipation—the sense that something new was on the horizon.Luis sat in his penthouse office, the vast city sprawled out before him through the floor-to-ceiling windows. This was his kingdom, but the view came with a constant reminder: nothing in this city was permanent. He thumbed through the latest reports, detailing the state of their newly expanded empire.The remnants of Santiago’s network had been absorbed, and Volkov’s influence had been erased. For now, no one dared challenge the Borsens’ reign.But Luis knew that peace in this
