He’d finally been able to pay back the fifty million debt he owed to Anastasia. But to do that, he had to ask for money from different kinds of notorious loan sharks.


    He couldn’t find himself a job since the whole media was aware of what they’d done to Anastasia. No one wanted to give him a job and he had to rely on Michelle, who was the only member of the family that earned a good amount of money by sleeping with all kinds of men.


    Even so, he couldn’t pay off the seven million dors he owed to the loan sharks he borrowed money from.


    "You think I came here to y boi?!" Titanus questioned him, already feeling impatient.


    "Let’s just beat him up. When he feels the pain, he’lle to realize we didn’te here to joke around," one of Titanus’ckeys suggested and the others immediately agreed.


    A smirk pulled on Titanus’ lips, and just before he could give out the order, Jack had already bolted from there, running so fast his legs neatly touched his shoulders.


    Instantly, they chased after him, without caring if they attracted any attention.


    Even if they did, no one would be interested in meddling. They were hoodlums after all, so the rest of the public tore their eyes from them and minded their business.


    Jack continued to run, throwing away the stic bag that contained the food he was supposed to give to Michelle. His main priority was to run and never let them catch him. Else, he would bepletely done for.


    As he ran, he ced obstacles in their way despite the fact his heart hammered against his chest—aiming for a good escape.


    "Run faster, dammit!! He’s getting away?" He could hear Titanus roar out another order.


    Thankfully for Jack, his long athlete legs came in handy. Not before long, he was able to outrun them—hiding inside a trash can as he watched them run past him without sighting him.


    When he was sure they’dpletely disappeared, he stepped out, watching his back before running back to the hospital.


    "I need to pay them back as soon as possible. Even if I have to steal, I’ll do it!"


    Jack rushed back into the hospital, sighting two policemen outside Michelle’s hospital. When the policemen saw him, they merely greeted him with a brief nod before he entered the room.


    "Why are there two policemen outside?" He questioned, taking in their unreadable faces.


    "Anastasia has charged both me and mother with a crime, so the police are here to arrest me," Michelle bit out in anger, her fist clenching the bed sheet.


    "What? What crime did youmit?" Jack asked in confusion.


    "When we beat her up years ago. She had a miscarriage, and now she’s suing us for murder," Amelia was the one to respond this time around.


    Jack palmed his face in frustration.


    First, it was Michelle getting a miscarriage. Second, notorious loan sharks were after him. And now, both his mother and sister have been charged with murder.


    ’When are these all going to end?’ He wondered, resisting the urge to pull his hair in frustration.


    "You can call Theodore and exin to him that you’ve lost the pregnancy and it was the fault of Anastasia and her sister," Gary suggested, also not happy with how things were turning out. "Anastasia should be the one in jail, not you since she was the one that killed your child," he reasoned.


    A smirk pulled on Michelle’s lips as she came up with an idea.


    "Due to my health condition, they can’t take me to jail now. They’ve given me two days to recover and once that time is over, both Mother and I are going to jail." Michelle pulled herself to sit more properly on the bed. "You’ve given me an idea, Gary. I can make Theodore believe that Anastasia and her sister were the reason for my miscarriage. And I can charge them for murder."


    Michelle reached for her phone, excitement buzzing in her chest as she dialed Theodore’s phone number.


    ’Finally, Anastasia.’
