Jeremy's gaze remained fixed on his computer screen. "Why?" "Something about having a deal for you," Amy replied. Jeremy's expression didn't change. "Send her away." Amy's eyebrows rose. "Are you sure?" Jeremy looked up, his eyes narrowing. "Yes, Amy, I'm sure. Since when did you care about this woman? Thought you hated her guts." Amy shrugge

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

"Mrs. Sophia is here to see you," Amy announced, standing in the doorway of Jeremy's office. Jeremy's gaze remained fixed on his computer screen. "Why?" "Something about having a deal for you," Amy replied. Jeremy's expression didn't change. "Send her away." Amy's eyebrows rose. "Are you sure?" Jeremy looked up, his eyes narrowing. "Yes, Amy, I'm sure. Since when did you care about this woman? Thought you hated her guts." Amy shrugged. "I do, but she seems a little agitated. Still want me to send her away?" Jeremy's tone remained firm. "Yes, she's probably here to ask for her husband's job back." Amy nodded and turned to leave. "I'll send her away then." As Amy exited the office, Sophia's voice echoed from the reception area. "My boss is currently indisposed," Amy said firmly. "Well, I'll wait for him," Sophia replied, her tone laced with entitlement. "You'll be wa

"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 got home that night but his mother was already asleep which was exactly what he hoped for. He wasn't sure he had it in him to talk to her about all that happened. He knew how she would take it and didn't want to stress her out. He already knew what to tell her about the organization. A simple "It's not something I'm interested in" would suffice. As soon as he got to his room, he jumped into the shower. The words of Collins echoed in his ears. “You can't say no to us. You have ties with us.” He was in a pickle because he knew they weren't going to let him go easily and would probably continue to send him letters. He had to figure out a way to get them off his back and the trip he was about to take tomorrow was going to be the start of it. After showering, he dressed up and fell asleep. Jeremy woke up to the sound of his alarm clock and his phone ringing at the same time. He dismissed the

“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

Jeremy stood in front of the mirror as he got ready for the party he'd been invited to. It had been two days since the letter arrived and it had come in a peculiar way.. It had been inside a small shaped coffin with roses decorating it. He had a feeling it had something to do with the theme of the party. ‘The dead’ was the theme and it confused Jeremy why they had chosen something so dark and controversial but then again, they sounded more like a cult than a club so he wasn't surprised. “Are you ready to go sir?” Amy barged in. Jeremy turned to look at her his secretary and nodded. “Yes, I think so. How do I look?* I asked. “Great… Oh your tie,” She pointed. “It's a little crooked.” She said, Jeremy tried to rearrange his tie but he only made it worse. “I'll just help you.” She said and made her way towards her boss. She forced him to look her way and the
