Chapter 81: Chapter 81

When I was a child I used to watch people walking toward multiplex to watch movies and I used to stare at them all the time when children like me were walking with their parents to live their life the fullest I used to build dreams of my own that maybe one day I will be capable enough to do what I want.

And when I listen to this man who is making me believe that my life has more twists and turns than a reluctant movie.

What he is saying is beyond my thoughts, the statement he has made is ridiculous enough to let anybody know that this is a lie.

How can Mr Jensen be related to Mr Stewart? If he would have been his half-brother they would have the same surname besides Mr Jensen lives with his father and Mr Stewart doesn’t!

Or maybe they have the same mother that’s why Mr Jensen doesn't talk about it anymore.

However, this must all be rubbish and this can’t be true, he’s fooling the way he has done in past days.

“Are you drunk? Mr Jensen?” I double-checked just to make sure if he had lost his senses.

But he didn’t consider himself drunk, his heated gaze got more pierced this time and the veins on his forehead were on the verge of popping out, his fingers were shivering and a hint of fire was in his eyes.

What is he up to?

“ he is the son of my father, a result of the affair which my father had with his secretary, my mother was in love so, of course, she couldn’t handle his beloved husband cheating on her that’s why she committed suicide. And that bastard has the guts to call me son after killing my m mother just because of his big reputation--

His mother complied suicide and his father is a cheater? Oh my. Young Blake Jensen had a terrible childhood.

That was the reason he got tensed every time whenever his father was around, that was the reason he refused to talk about his mom, that's why is working like a maniac every time just to prove himself?

--He asks me to do as he says and exactly do the opposite, and I am here in the company just because my mother wanted it---

But how is all this related to John Stewart? What's his role in his business?

--- John always had issues with me, because my so-called couldn't accept him and here I was working hard in my life to prove myself to fulfil my mother’s dream….

can’t he just come to the point?

---I was hearing the news that someone is planning to destroy me and it wasn't hard to guess that someone was him…

“what?? How can it be possible?”

I cut him in the middle

he glanced at me with his worried eyes, “Remember when we were in London you met him out of nowhere? Remember the painting which captured your attention with its absence? Remember when you met him the first day at my building?”

and when I thought of not believing what he was announcing, suddenly my mind got stuck to the point when he declared Mr Stewart's presence in London.

What was he doing there?

And where the hell did he vanish?

"What do you mean?"

"John Stewart either wants to kill me or ruin my business!"

I raised one of my eyebrows and crossed my arms against my chest, " and still you are not dead!" I mumbled in anticipation.

I find it hard to trust him.

He glared at me again and clasped my shoulders just to make me realise that I need to stop daydreaming if I have to be sane enough in this world.

"Do you want me dead Ms Brooke?"

Those eyes, they were mischief for their regime and I was anxious to understand him.

Suddenly I felt his presence so close to my heart, his heart was just right beside me, "do you want me to die? Because if you would then trust me Ashley I would die right here in your hands”

He is being too dramatic now, the way he was intriguing me with his mind, the way he was speaking as nothing matters to him besides spilling the truth.

But if he is saying the truth then I must listen, if there is a tiny chance of truth in his words then I must listen to him out

“Tell me the truth this time Blake, because if you didn’t then I will kill you with my own hands,” I grabbed his collars and threatened him with my deadly look, if he wants war then let it be, if he wants me to kill him then I will kill him only after giving him a single chance.

“I was nine years old when my mother died and I found out my so-called father has another son though he never gave him his name the truth remains the truth, I didn’t know about john till the past year, and when I get to know him as my rival in business I realised later he is my half-brother, I didn’t have anything in my mind against him but when I proposed the investigation about the explode in London, I realised it was executed by him, he was the one who planned everything just to affect my business or better to get me killed, and when he realised I am still alive, he made a plan, a tempering plan so that he can use you against me. Because of him, your mother isn’t getting a speedy recovery which I found out in a recent investigation against him.”

“What do you mean?” I was clueless and lost after hearing his statement.

“ your mother isn’t going to be healthy anytime soon,”

“What?” I clasped his shoulders much harder this time.

“He has bribed the money to do unlawful things so she can never become fit, at least not for a year.”

“But why? what I have done to him?”

His eyes became more tensed, as he was ready to burst into anger anytime soon ad I gulped to glance at his presence, I gulped because I was anxious,

“He wants to snatch everything from me!”

If he wants to snatch everything from him then why he did do such an inhuman thing to my mother, it doesn’t make any sense. I can understand that he only came with a purpose to destroy blake Jensen on that day in Jensen's industries, I can understand him coming out of nowhere in London and greeting me with a warm smile, I can understand him exploding the bomb to get Mr Jensen killed, I can understand him ruining his image in public so that blake can be in MIA for several months but I cannot understand him planning such an inhuman plan against my mother.

“Why does he wants my mother to not get recovered?” I was dead serious with anger in my eyes, if looks could he would have been dead!

“He wants to snatch what is mine and you are one of them!”
