Major General Ruper Meyers. The name kept sending alarm bells through Jared's mind. But he could not comprehend where he had heard his name. However, the bad premonition only rose in him as seconds passed. He pulled out his phone and searched for the man, and the moment he saw his pictures, everything came to him in a flash.
Though Jared had not met him in person, he had heard about him from his Godfather. He recalled the time when his Godfather had asked him to be wary of the Major, for he was a sly fox and it was quite impossible to trick. He had not understood why his Godfather had spoken about him back them, nor did he understand it even now. They did not have any reason to cross each other. Is it?
What surprised him was that Amber took the man's name, who claimed to be the owner of the manor which they assumed to belong to Joshua. 'Was this all a coincidence, or was someone playing a game with them?' He wondered. 'Or are we wrong and the manor actually belongs to the Major?' However, even after thinking for a long time, Jared could not come up with any answers. Joshua had played him too well this time.
Since it was not his matter to think about in the first place, Jared gave up on it. He had other matters to think and stress about. His Godfather had not yet gained consciousness, and his spies in Noah's team had not sent him any messages. More than a day had passed, and he had not received any word from them.
Jared had learned that Tim had joined hands with Noah, and Noah had called for a meeting with his men. But he had no idea what the meeting was for. After all his spies had only sent him a message before the meeting had started. And there had been no news from them even after hours had passed. Jared was slowly getting frustrated, and all he wanted was to smack some sense into his men. Didn't know Jared was waiting for news from them?
'Wait a minute!' Jared stopped thinking when a bad feeling hit his heart. 'Did Noah find out about my men in his team? Is this the reason why I am unable to reach them?' He wondered, and immediately after, he called all his men only to receive no response from them, confirming his suspicions.
Jared was livid. His opponent was too smart and cunning. All his plans to defeat Noah had been foiled expertly ruined by him, and Jared did not know what more to do. He had first planned to use Rachel to get to her brother. However, the girl in question was too smart to fall for his acts. She had blatantly ignored him, and to make matters worse, she had a boyfriend.
Though this did not affect Jared whatsoever, he had pushed the plan to use her to destroy Noah aside after he started falling for Maggie. He at least wanted to be sincere towards the girl he had started to like. However, Maggie had ended by betraying him brilliantly, running away with all pieces of evidence that could straight away send him to the execution chair.
Neither did he get the girl he had started to love slowly, nor did he get the girl he wanted to use as a chess piece in his plan. He had then teamed up with Mia and her father, saving them from the brink of their bankruptcy while pushing the girl towards Noah in hopes of forcing him to break up with his girlfriend. However, this plan too had not worked in his favor.
Though Mia had not foiled his plan, she had not executed it well too. Noah was well and happy with his girlfriend or that was what he had heard from his men who had seen the couple in the hospital. All he could do was put his hopes on the delusional woman, Amber. So what if he could not destroy Noah, he could as well start with his friends.
Jared ran his tongue over his teeth before he licked his lips. He now knew what to do and how to destroy Joshua easily. So what if Amber could not break the couple apart, Jared had a perfect plan to could do the trick. He was already a monster to women, and all he had to do was bring back the monster in him that gone into slumber after he fell for Maggie.
'And what should I do with you, Valerie?' Jared had been frustrated by her since the time she had arrested people around him for all the crimes he was involved in, starting from David Peters to his father, who right now was waiting for the court to sentence him to death.
'Maggie, Ivy, Rachel, Noah's girlfriend, and Valerie, who shall I deal with first?' He wondered with a wicked smile as he stared at the dartboard in front of them. The dartboard held the names of the women he had just taken, and Jared's smile widened as picked up the dart and twirled it on his fingers.
"I like it." He mumbled to himself before he let out a demonic laugh. If his secretary was alive, he would have peed in his pants for sure. Jared looked nothing less than the demon he was, ready to ruin the women on his list. "It will be fun dealing with such headstrong women. Should I go with Noah's girlfriend first? She must be capable since she is with the man I despise the most." He pondered.
Jared had no idea that all the women he wanted to deal with were related to each other somehow. If he had known about it, he would have puked blood in shock.
'Hmm, who will be my first prey?' He mused before he threw the dart at the board. The object flew in the air for a few seconds before it hit the board hard. "Ah, that is an unexpected outcome." Jared chuckled softly before he started laughing evilly. His eyes were twinkling in wickedness, and slowly, he stood up before he walked towards the board.
With a gentle pull, he removed the dart from the board and knocked his finger on the girl's name the dart had chosen. "Be prepared, darling. Jared Augustus is coming to destroy you."
