Chapter 9 – Where Is Gwen
I stared at them stunned. For the first time in my life, I had nothing to say.
“This is the only way to save the company, Jack, you have to step down or risk losing the company, one of them said, trying to touch me.
I don’t know what made me snap but in that instant, I grabbed him and brought out a gun. The board member gasped, shocked.
“Not one motherfucker in this room is going to sell their shares!” I snapped.
“But Jack
–
”
“Silence!” I snapped, “I will find investors and I will revive my company. This is my fucking company and I’m not stepping down for anyone!”
I pointed the gun at everyone, then said in a threatening voice.
“If anyone tries to sell their shares without my consent, I’ll end you and your family. My name is Jack Velcro, I won’t be ruined like this!”
With those words, I pushed the shaky man aside and walked away.
The staff screamed when they saw me holding a gun but what were they expecting when they came to work for me knowing I was a mafia boss?
I walked out of my office and entered my car, discharging all my bodyguards. I drove to a clif and got out of the car.
I dialed Gwen’s number and it went straight to voicemail.
How long had she known about the kidnapping and her baby’s death? Why didn’t she confront
me? Where the fuck is she?
I drove back home certain she’ll be back tonight after all she’s got no money.
When I arrived home I saw my mother sitting down with a scowl on her face.
‘What?” I snapped.
‘Where did Cara go with your son? No matter what David is still the heir to this family,” she said.
I scoffed, “Well, there won’t be much for him to inherit when I lose the company.”
She frowned, “What does that mean?”
I explained the situation of the company and she buried her face in her palm.
“Your father successfully ran this company for years and now you want to run it to the ground. Why haven’t you gone to see Cara’s parents? Her family has the influence to turn this situation around,” she said.
I nodded, “Yeah, I thought of that.”
“So why haven’t you gone? Why are you moping around like your puppy just died? Gwen is gone now, isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?”
I glared at her, “You’ve also wanted her gone too so don’t put this on me.”
“That was before I knew you killed your son with her and kidnapped her. You tortured that girl so
much!” my mother snapped.
“I am trying to find her, Mom!” I snapped.
My mom chuckled wryly, “When you find her, what are you going to say, huh? ‘I’m sorry I killed our son, or I’m sorry I kidnapped you?’ Leave the poor girl alone.”
“She has nowhere to go, Mom,” I said quietly.
“And you’ll have nowhere to go soon if you don’t act fast and go find Cara’s parents. Thank heavens I still have your dad’s pension he left me, I can live out the rest of my life at the beach
house.”
I sighed, “They’d ask me when I’m getting married to Cara now that Gwen is out of the picture.”
My mom laughed mockingly, “Oh, so now you don’t want to marry Cara again?”
“That’s not what I said, I snapped and stormed out.
I drove to Cara’s family mansion which was a few miles away from my house.
When I arrived, her brothers were glaring at me like I had done something wrong.
‘What do you want?” Tony asked me.
‘I need to see Cara and my son,” I answered.
‘You should have thought of that when you sent her away!” George hissed at me.
frowned, “I didn’t send her away. I went to work and I got back to find out they were gone.”
‘Well, you didn’t try to stop her,” they snapped.
The door opened and Cara came out.
‘Is that Jack? Please, brothers, let him in,” she cried.
Then without warning, she ran down the stairs toward me and almost slipped.
George caught her at the last minute.
‘Oh my gosh, Cara!” I exclaimed, running towards her.
‘Stay away from her, she almost hurt herself because of you,” Tony snapped.
‘No, he’s not at fault. Let him be,” Cara said.
She pulled away from her brothers and hugged me.
‘I knew you’d be back. You’re here to propose and make me an honest woman!” Cara exclaimed oudly.
was speechless, I hadn’t even thought of doing that. But her loud voice had made her parents come out and now her entire family was staring at me.
went down on one knee and brought out the wedding ring Gwen had kept on top of the boxes. ‘Will you marry me, Cara?” I asked her with a forced smile.
‘Oh yes!” she exclaimed joyfully.
Then she took the ring and wore it, kissing me excitedly.
“Mommy, daddy, we’re getting married. I told you he loves me and he would come to his senses,” she said excitedly.
I smiled awkwardly as her parents came out to congratulate me.

“Son, I’m glad you’re finally doing the right thing,” her father said.
“It’s about time. My daughter will soon have a second child for you,” her mother said.
“Come, let’s go discuss the future of your company. I heard it isn’t doing well as the rumors are ruining your image. They are rumors, right, Jack?” her father asked.
Cara replied before I could speak, “Of course, they’re rumors, Daddy.”
As they led me inside I wondered if this was what I really wanted and for some reason, I couldn’ stop thinking about Gwen.
Where are you, Gwen?
