CHANCE

Chapter 2: The Connections....

Francis POV

As the business meeting done and with the Williams Group I decided to go home.

I was driving as I recall my coincidental meetings with that girl called Jamie.

It gives me the feeling of longing for an affair. A feeling to be loved by her.

I can't explain that things, all I know is that, I started to feel incomplete.

As I recall the time when I married Kiara, Is the time I was once very in love until the day came that I don’t even know what to believe anymore, All of the things that I believe collapse in just a blink of an eye.

I never want to have a relationship to be failed in return because I put all my efforts on that but Kiara didn’t realize that, she never cared on me anyway.

I was the one investing in that relationship, It's a one sided love. Only now I realize that I was too overwhelmed with the relationship but in reality Kiara never put an efforts into it.

She never even bother to ask me how am I, that’s the time she was having an affair with Liam her bodyguard.

I never expect that one day the one I trust my families security would be the one who attacked me at my back.

That relationship has drained my trust to anyone completely. I became cold, distant and doubtful. I never want to be like this..

That relationship change me a lot, sometimes I questioned myself. Am I that bad husband that’s why she betrayed me?

Don’t I deserved to be loved? When we divorced I was the one who sacrifice, It has been approved for the ground that I was the one who can’t provide the things that she needed.

I was the one who is psychologically incapacitated. And she make me feel like that even though she was the one who made mistakes.

Even though she was the one who had an affair with her bodyguard. I feel like I was down then, thankfully my family help me to stand again…

They were the one who encourage me especially my mom, she is my witness on the day I was down… I feel like I want to die…

But mom, made me realize what happen is not only my fault, we both have lapses… Not just me, she open my eyes that the woman I married betrayed me and to continue life with pride.

Yes I am a man indeed but in my relationship with Kiara she is the boss. I doted on her so much that I forgot how to respect myself.

I still have constant contact with my children, Im thankful to them that even though we are not ok with Kiara they didn't involve themselves.

I make sure that both of my children feels the love that I have for them. I always call them before and after I went to work.

Especially Frianna, she is like a lamp that lights up my way, her cheery character makes life lighter, my children are open for the possibility that soon i will be having a woman who will love me and take care of me the way that I do.

I was back to reality when I saw that I’m almost at the airport. As I goes in to the airport, Nate called me to ask me where I am, and I told him I was on a business trip we chatted until it popped in my head the incident about the girl whom I bump in a while ago.

I told him the whole story and gave him her plate no. And he was making me a laughing stock already. Is this my friend? I ask myself as I was walking.

“Investigate that woman for me!” I order him with a serious intonation. But still his laughing non stop.

“What? Are you going to make fun of me?

“No, I was just shock… With the fact that you’ve been amazed by a girl. The Mighty Francis! Hahaha”

“Could you be more serious! I’m asking you if you could help, if not then will forget each other!”

“Oh! Calm down, of course I’ll be willing to help… Ok, ill do it… expect the result tomorrow.”

“I’ll call you when I got home.”

“Alright bye!” and I put the cellphone on my packet and I enter the airport and automatically the staff greeted me and do the processing immediately.

They know me well, as I enter my private plane some of the employees looking at me like im their prey. As the thing ok we prepared to go back to California.

And we arrive safe and sound, I got off the plane with my feet like flying because I expect Nates result and he didn’t disappoint me.

I saw him waiting at the airport lounge for me… He really knows me well… As I approach him he already wearing a mocking smile.

“So how is the trip?” I looked at him frowning as he keeps on smiling.

“What! Stop that will you…” I prefer my wrist and bump it into his chest…

“Tell me about her!”

“No.” I said with authority and he didn’t ask any further. Nate knows me well, if I want my affair to be private he just take sometime…

And spare me with questioning, “ ok then.”

“Now hop in” I said to him. “ So, did you get some information about her?”

“Yeah! Just curious… Whats with this girl and you make me investigate her? Did she offend you?”

“No, just another way around… I’m just curious about her that’s all!”

“C'mon Franz I know you well enough, did she caught your attention? Oh well don’t speak I know she’s beautiful, and sexy…

” He said with teasing voice." I just wish this one wouldn’t be like Kiara, I will be lonely for you I know You’ve suffered a lot already and I don’t want you to feel down again…"

"How would you know?" I ask him he just give me a smirk...

"That's not gonna happen again, and besides i need to focus on my two daughters... They are enough.

As he said that,he feels so bothered that the look of Jamie like being chased by a monster a while ago makes his day...

He smile as Nate can't see his look. I liked that girl, he said to himself...

I will get her, with a sinister smile on his face. He really have the feeling of connections to that girl, he dont know why....

"Have you gather information about her?" I ask Nate, " Its in here" he wave the folder and give it to me.

"Easy!" He said... "Or do you want me to read for you aloud?" He said in a mocking tone.

"Nah! You'll never do that!" I said to him..

"Yeah! I know..."

As we arrived at my home, he decided to go home too. Because he knows Im tired for the long trip.." I'll see you tomorrow!"

Ok! And he went home. I sit on the couch and desided to read the content of his report.

It says that the girls name is Jamie Lyn Langford, 33 years old, she's from NY. Studied at Michigan University with the course of Advertising Management but why did she prepare to work for Williams? As a CSR? A questions pop in my mind.

All the basic information about her is on the details but one thing has caught my attention there was an extra info info about her, a background summary of her!

I was so amused that Nate really gather more info about her as if he did a background check on her.

As i go on i was puzzled on why did she prepared to work as CSR when she graduated a degree course.

My enthusiasm in her gets even more and more that all I think all night is to know her more, I'll start with Williams. I know he knows her well.

I close the files decided to go upstairs to clean up myself and prepare for bed. Im alone in my house because I can't live with others since i was divorce with my ex wife.

I prepare to live alone since then, the housekeeper just come in to clean my house everyday but she is not staying here, I just give her my spare keys for her to have free access on house,

Its a modern villa which i prefer to make me feel at home even if i am alone it feels like im still with our house back home with my mom.

Yes! My mother is still alive, I have a sister named Freya our father is already passed away. So i was the one managing our company.

The Famous Ribbs Company has a lot of branches now, were in stockmarkets. Building infrastructures, Restaurants, Hotels, Bars, and Resorts that was some of my families businesses.

My family has high status in the society of California but my mom teaches us to be in low key always. In terms of businesses we are the most powerful in it, but as usual when you are powerful, You are most watch not just in business world but also in media.

My identity is always a secret on media. Im not into appearances i make Nate go in a lot of entertainment engagements to cover up my identity.

Only in that part but about business i make sure, I am hands on. They told I am a monster in the business world and thats true... But im just like a monster to the people who don't deserve to be treated good, people sometimes do evil things on the people who only know how to fights fairly.

And me i defend them and maintain justice for what is right for them, Im not that heartless anyway...

In the business when people saw you as a weakling you will be easily get beaten but when your as wild as a lion you will be saved...

Nobody could defeat you easily.

The matter of my family has been sealed to media as i make it very private.
