The Wretched Mistress - Chapter 105

Back to the Present

Jackson got out of the cabin as his men informed him about the Emergency.

“Sir, the Lab had been taken down. Our Intel says that Dr. Rashmi had already evacuated the place before the Hawthorne’s and the Police got there.”

Jackson’s brows furrowed. “Looks like things have escalated very quick. I didn’t that they were able to locate our whereabouts so soon.”

As Jackson got into the Deck, he smiled when he saw a familiar figure. “I have to say that your Husband is very quick.”

That’s right, Francesca was in the boat with Jackson and April. As soon as Jackson made his move, she knew that sooner or later Alex would be on to her. “No, I don’t think this is the work of my husband.”

Jackson eyed the beautiful woman in front of him. Although she was beautiful indeed, she was far from his little girl’s charm. “Why do you say so?”

Francesca looked at Beverly who was standing beside her. All this time, she had never dealt with Jackson. It was all thanks to Beverly’s efforts. She then looked at Jackson again and replied. “Have you ever heard of the Black Dragon Club?”

Jackson gestured his men to get him a drink before replying. “I’ve heard of them. Why would they be willing to help the Hawthorne’s? It was said that even if one has the money, it doesn’t necessarily means that it could move them.”

Francesca leisurely looked at the sea. In her mind, she acted far beyond forgiving. She knew that once Alex knew of her actions, Alex would never forgive her. Still, she didn’t hesitate to do it. She kept in mind that if she can’t have Alex, then no one can.

“I have discovered a secret. Well, it isn’t confirmed yet. My sources say that one of Alex’s friends are connected to the Black Dragon Club. For which friend, that I have no idea so far. It just that, Alex’s friends were all prominent figures in all kinds of business. Also, most of his friends were introduced by his parents. If I’m right, his parents are customers of the club as well.”

Jackson accepted the wine being offered by his men. Hearing Francesca’s findings, he couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s quite a theory you got there! No matter. Although my powers couldn’t compare to the Black Dragon Club, as long as they don’t show themselves, I can handle that puny husband of yours!”

Francesca frowned. She gripped the railings and sighed. She didn’t like that Jackson was belittling her husband, still, she couldn’t show her disappointment. She knew very well how powerful Jackson was. Even with Beverly’s efforts, they couldn’t find out who was backing Jackson. Despite being in jail for 10 years or so, he still had the money and men when he got out. This could only mean that Jackson stayed in Jail, just because he wanted to and not because he can’t get out. If Jackson wanted to get out of jail, he would’ve been able to do so easily. Then what gives? Why did he willingly stay inside the jail?

Francesca’s disappointment didn’t escape Jackson’s eyes. Jackson waved his hand again to his men and said. “Our dealings are done. I have also helped you get out of England. This should be the end of our relationship.” Just as he said this, a smaller yacht came out of view heading their way.

Francesca’s mouth twitched. She could’ve gotten rid of April herself but that wouldn’t satisfy her. Only by giving April to Jackson would she feel satisfied. “How are you going to deal with her?” She couldn’t help but wonder.

Jackson smiled sheepishly. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my little girl safe and sound. Your husband would never see her again. Even if they did, she would certainly not recognize him.”

Francesca gulped down her saliva. She heard from Beverly that Jackson was keen on drugs and experiments. She also heard some parts of the story on what happened to April back then. Putting all these puzzles together, she could already understand why April became mentally unstable. People like Jackson are living nightmares that roam the land. She could only nod silently, fearing that Jackson might turn his interest to her.

Jackson saw her fears but he didn’t do anything about it. In his eyes, there wasn’t anyone who can compared to his little girl. His little girl was the most beautiful woman that his eyes had laid upon on. Even though she’s all grown up and even gave birth to a child, he still finds her s.e.xy and hot. More alluring that her b.r.e.a.s.ts had grown bigger and her h.i.p.s became wider. He couldn’t wait to satisfy her again and again in the near future.

When the smaller yacht parked beside their, Francesca hurriedly left with Beverly. She was heading to France to hide for the meantime. Her feet were like drenched in oil, she walked to fast. Her heartbeat became ironic as she tried to escape from that dangerous man. As soon as she got to the smaller yacht, she sighed in relief. When she looked up to the big yacht, It was already moving far ahead. Jackson didn’t even pay attention to her anymore.

“April, let’s just say that your luck was really bad. You should’ve just stayed in the US. You should’ve not meddled with my marriage. Unfortunately, you just had to. In my case, I’m only doing it because you deserve it. You deserved it because you’ve ruined my marriage!” Francesca murmured in the air as she watched the big yacht getting far away from them. She clenched her fist, digging her nails into her palm.

Beverly heard everything but stayed silent. She stood next to her boss. She could only sigh but not in regret. She had done countless of bad things for her boss. Her boss was once her life savior and so she dedicated her life to her. In this life, only by pleasing her boss would Beverly find accomplished.
