✯✯CHAPTER 43&44✯✯
~NEXT MORNING, BROOKE MANSION~
Mr Jeff, Stanley's supposed father sat on the luxurious couch in the living room and crossed his legs, as he massaged his napes and breathed in deeply.
He grabbed his phone to make a call.
"Where are you chris?"
He asked Chris, his other son.
"Uhmm....well I'm still trying to get a hold of the informant. He's proving stubborn and I don't have enough tools to get him to speak and......"
"Why is it so difficult for you to carry out such simple task? Stanley would have finished this job in 3 hours maximum even though he's not my real son! Now I'm really starting to wonder who is my biological son between you both!" Jeff shouted
"Dad!!! When will you stop comparing me to that adopted scum?! Disown me then if I'm useless! Why do you still keep me around?!" Chris screamed over the phone and cut it immediately.
Jeff glared at the screen of his phone and ruffled his overgrown beards angrily.
"That b*stard hasn't learnt his lesson still, I guess the punishments were too light" Jeff muttered and sighed.

⑅ Same mansion, Stanley's room⑅
Stanley stood in front of his dressing mirror and observed his handsome features as he buttoned his shirt.
His gaze shifted to the dressing table filled with different male colognes,body sprays, deodorants, perfumes and male face treatment.
A smile crept up his lips as he picked one of the spray bottles from the dressing table and fondled with it for a while,imagining it as juliana
"Juliana, we'll meet soon. And by then, you'll be mine. Trust me, all mine. Things have gotten easier thanks to your lunatic husband. Hahahahaha" Stanley laughed crazily.
He picked up his phone from the bed stand near the dressing table and dialled a number.
"Doger, get ready, we're travelling to DC soon. Prepare the flight in two days"
"Yes boss!"
He dropped his phone on the bed stand as he picked up a red tie from the numerous ones in the closet and hung it round his neck as he prepared for work.
༎ຶ☆
Jordan dialled Juliana's line for the umpteenth time but it kept directing him to leave a message after the beep.
He just wanted to know how she's fairing and if she's not getting maltreated so he could fasten up his plan.
He groaned frustratedly, ruffling his hair.
"Perhaps, Dylan bayley has restricted her phone usage?" He shook his head quickly, not wanting to accept the fact that he won't be able to reach his wife again.
He quickly dialled Juliana's father's number which was still saved as 'father in law' on his phone.
"Pleasant afternoon father, I'm unable to reach your daughter and I'm praying so much that it's not what I'm thinking! If it is then I won't be able to talk to her till my plan falls through which I can't bear! Please call her and see if it would go through!" Jordan said rushingly without allowing his father in law to talk.
"Okay. I will do that now" Mr York said and hung up.
Jordan couldn't calm down in his office as he paraded worriedly and impatiently in his office with wrinkled forehead, thinking of all possibilities!
After a while, Mr York called back and Jordan picked up hastily.
"Son, calm down. You need to relax. She wasn't restricted. I spoke to her and she didn't sound pained. You should try calling her again." Mr York said and Jordan gulped.
"I'll do that father. Thank you" he said and hung up
Jordan stared at the screen of his phone as his expression turned sullen.
"Juli, you picked your father's call but you didn't pick mine? Are you intentionally ignoring me? For what reason? I thought you loved me..." Jordan muttered as his voice got cracked due to the tears that were welling up in his eyes.
He began squeezing the phone in his hand like he Intended to crush it as his breaths got heavier...
"My pretty juli....don't ignore me...please...it's killing me..." He sobbed silently but was interrupted as his office door opened suddenly.
A slim girl with long silky hair and straight legs, obviously a model, wearing a tight leather jean top and jacket, high waist mini skirt of the same material, and knee length boots that dazzled brightly!
Jordan's jaw dropped as she began walking sexily towards him, carefully picking her steps.
"Charlotte!"
"It's been a long while, Jordan." She said and finally got to him as she dropped her black leather pause on the floor and grabbed Jordan's jaw suddenly, smashing her lips against his!
Jordan immediately pushed her away after realizing what happened.
"Charlotte, what are you doing and why are you here?" He said in shock, wiping his lips
"What do you mean by that? Is this how to welcome your long time girlfriend after seeing her since many years?" Charlotte scolded
When Jordan was still young and had ayanna, Charlotte was like his other sister or so he thought. They were always together and feelings started to grow until Charlotte confessed her feelings to him and they began to have something between them but it wasn't long before he lost ayanna and Charlotte travelled out of the country few days after.
Jordan settled on his office chair and blinked as all the memories rushed in like waterfall.
"You ran away when I needed you most. Why are you back now?" Jordan muttered as anger began to fill in.
Charlotte sighed and pulled out the chair opposite Jordan as she sat, crossing her legs.
"I also had my s**t going on then with my family. I didn't tell you and ayanna because I didn't want you both to get worried. But they engaged me to a boy from another family based on family interest even though I disliked the boy on seeing him. Only you was in my heart and I had to run away from home. It only coincided with the time of ayanna's death and it seems like I left you but I promise it was for our good. I made ends meet and somehow struggled my way up to become a model. Trust me I never dated any other person for the six years I was away. I kept myself for you and here I am now. F*ck! I missed you so much! We could continue from where we stopped...."
"Charlotte, do you mean you've been dwelling and hoping on that thing we had for each other back then? We we're still young and it was all puppy love. We didn't know what we wanted" Jordan said
"Maybe you thought it was puppy love or that we were still young but now we're both old enough." Charlotte said as she tried not to sound hurt
Jordan looked at her. He already erased her from his mind because he thought she ran away from him. Infact, he already developed a huge grudge against her.
He cleared his throat. "Now I feel relieved at least, hearing you didn't abandon me. But you didn't even think of giving a call or reaching out to me those six years and you're suddenly back, expecting me to accept you like that?" He asked, raising his left brow
"Fine, I'm at fault for not calling but I'm here now and we could make up for everything." Charlotte said and tried to hold his palm but he withdrew his hand and kept them on his laps.
"Why do you think I haven't moved on and i'm still holding on to my past...I tried to erase every memory from six years ago and i was successful. Don't bring them back."
"But..but I thought what we had for each other was strong enough to...."
Jordan raised his left hand from his laps and stretched it out on the table revealing a silver ring with stones embedded on it.
Charlotte was confused as to why he acted that way and raised her brows
Then he muttered "I'm married"
Charlotte's eyes twitched and a low gasp fell from her mouth as she began shaking her head.
"No! No! You can't be married..you are supposed to be married to me...why is there a ring on your hand Jordan!!" She screamed as the tears that had welled up in her eyes fell gloriously from her eyes.
"I've waited and kept myself for you for six years hoping we spend the rest of our lives together and this is what you pay me back with?" She screamed again
Jordan chuckled "Stop sounding like I'm a villain. There was no 'us' in the first place. What we had ended six years ago when you travelled out of the country and I've moved on as well. I never asked you not to move on or keep yourself for me because you've done that in vain"
Charlotte tried to calm down. "There's no news about your marriage anywhere on the internet. Are you trying to prank me?" Charlotte said, begining to doubt him.
Jordan sighed and pulled out the table drawer and picked a picture, throwing it on the table for Charlotte to see.
"You never really changed, you still must see evidences before you believe anything. It was a secret marriage. Now would you say the picture was photoshopped again??"
Hearing this, Charlotte slowly reached out with shaky hands to pick up the picture.
It's was a picture of Jordan in suite and Julianna in a wedding dress at the court, as they exchanged rings. It was the same ring Jordan was also wearing on his fingers.
Charlotte shook her head with wide eyes as she stared at the picture, mouth agape.
She suddenly stood up, put the picture in her bag and walked hastily out of his office.
Jordan was surprised at first but relaxed when he remembered he had copies of the same picture.
His mind drifted back to Juliana and how she ignored his calls, then Dylan's threat to make his company go down if he doesn't divorce Julianna.
He grabbed one of his many phones and dialled a line.
"Prepare the flight in two days. We're going to DC!"

*GANGNAM TAEKWONDO TRAINING CENTRE,4:30PM*
In the large Taekwondo Center, spacious and well furnished with facilities,Gaston was sitting on a chair,with his chin resting on the back of his palm,waiting patiently for Karina to come.
It was 4:30 p.m. already, and Karina was not there yet even though they had discussed 4:00 p.m. on the dot.
Soon enough, she walked in panting, as she sighted him and walk towards him with sweat dripping down her body and face.
"Sorry I'm late. Something came up that I seriously needed to attend to. So sorry" Karina said and settled on an empty chair beside him.
She brought out an handkerchief to wipe her face and then looked at Gaston to realize that he hadn't said anything since she got there.
"Hey why aren't you saying anything? Are you mad at me?"
He still didnt reply and kept looking at her in a weird way.
"Fine I wouldn't be late again. Happy now?"
Gaston suddenly released a very beautiful smile and Karina relaxed, seeing he wasn't angry
Gaston noticed the way Karina was sweating and grabbed the AC remote to increase the temperature of the AC then reached out to pick a bottle of water and handed it over to her.
"Thanks" she smiled
There was silence for a while till Karina broke it.
"Why did you bully me then and why did you stop?" Karina asked after dropping the bottle of water beside her.
"Can we not talk about it?"
"I want to know Gaston"
Gaston sighed "I was foolish then. I needed someone to vent my frustrations on. . . "
"And I was a perfect tool" Karina completed
"I'm sorry I was just so foolish then. I was being ruled by my emotions and I had no control over them, but I promise I've changed. I wont ever bully you or anyone again and this is one of my ways of making it up to you.
Karina smiled "What guarantee do I get that you're not gonna bully me again because you stopped just barely two weeks ago"
"If i notice it's trying to happen again, I'm going to distance myself from you and make sure I don't cross paths with you"
"And there would be no reason for that because I can totally control my emotions now" Gaston guaranteed.
"I hope so because I'm counting on your words" Karina stood up and Gaston smiled.
They both walked to the center of the training room.
"Let's begin"
"First, you have to know the three fundamental steps of Taekwondo"
Then he went behind her, and whispered into her ear.
"Allow me to touch you. Its part of the training. "
Karina gulped due to the tingling sensation she felt in her ear from his whisper and nodded gently in response.
Gaston squatted, making his head face her butt. then he stretched out his hands and gently separated her thighs.
"Bend your knees like you want to squat. Don't go too low." Gaston commanded
She did as he said and it looked like she was sitting on an invincible chair.
"Good. Now spread your legs a little bit wider. " He said and stood up behind her, grabbing her hands and stretching It forward which made their hands both stretched forward,making Karina's back rest on his chest and his warm breath on her right ear.
"Nice, you're a fast learner" Gaston whispered again.
His warm breath penetrated into her ear and ear lobes, his chest was so warm and comfortable making her want to stay in that position continuously
He suddenly licked her ear!
Karina's heart skipped several beats and her eyes widened madly!
"What was that feeling??!!"
