Day Six Part 2

Lillian woke up as Jake was tring to quickly get out of bed.

"What time is it?" She asked.

"Only five go back to sleep. I've got to get ready for the office."

"Ok, see you later." She then rolled over and feel back to sleep.

Jake chuckled and went to take a bath. Since he was now living in the mansion he needed to start his day an hour earlier.

Before he could leave he bent down to kiss her good bye.

Lillian soon woke up and took a shower. He headed down stairs to find Toby and take him for a walk. Pop was sitting in the parlor petting him.

"I see he found a new friend." Lillian said.

"I think I did. I never knew a dog could bring me joy." Pop said.

"Would you like to walk with us?" She asked.

"Yes, lets walk down by the koi pond."

They walked along the garden in silence till they reach the pond.

"My dear, what are your feelings for my grandson?"

Lillian paused for a moment, "I am confused by him."

"Confused?"

"Yes, I knew him when I was younger. He was knight in shinning armor when he saved my shawl from those bullies. Then she would just push me aside when I tried to get to know him."

She unhooked Toby so he could run some and sat down next to pop on the bench.

"Then when I met him the friday before last He was an arrogant man and tried to bully me to sleeping with him."

"He did not?" Pop was now getting upset at his grandson.

"But now I feel he really cares about me and that is why I am confused." She was looking at her hands and could not look Pop in the face.

He reaches out and takes her hands.

"My dear, I know my grandson cares about you. Last night for the first time he asked how I meet my wife, his grandmother. He also said he loves you and doesn't want to lose you."

"I think I love him too." She said.

"Good, but make him work for that love."

They sat there for a little while then one of the maid informed them that breakfast was ready.

"Lets go eat.. Toby come." He commanded and Toby looked up and followed Pop down the path. Lillian was surprised.

Jake arrived at work at the same time as Zane.

They rode up to the office and Zane went over his Schedule. Zane handed him the files he would need for the meetings then left.

Seeing it was almost nine he pulled out his phone and called Lillian.

"Hello." She answered.

"Hey beautiful, How did you sleep?"

"Fine thank you."

"Meet me at the office at five. I want to take you for dinner." He asked.

"What about Toby?" She did not like him to leave him at home.

"Ask Pop to babysit please."

"I think if your grandfather watches him I will never get him back."

Puzzled he asked, "Why?"

"Your grandfather said so. He said he never knew how great a dog could be."

"Then lets get him one of his own." He suggested.

"Fine, but Toby is mine."

He laughed at the childish sound of her voice.

As soon as he hung up the elevator door opened and out came his dad and Mr. McDonald.

"Can I help you?" He asked.

"How dare you trick my daughter into marrying some janitor." Mr. McDonald said.

"Son you went to far this time."His father said.

"Me... Who tried to trick me into marriage her... Who?" He said setting back into his chair.

"That was for your own good. You cannot see what is best right in front of your face."

"How does Susan like her new husband?" He asked turning to Mr. McDonald.

Mr. McDonald face was turning red. "She called this morning frantic. I've talk to our lawyers and I am going to sue you for this."

"It was not my doing now was it. My father planned it all. Even getting Judge Connor to make it all legal."

"You... You arrogant little prick." He slams his hand down on his desk.

Jake quietly presses the button for the guards to come. "Know Mr. McDonald because you conspired with my father against me I will be giving the police all the evidence I have and with this investigation I can take all 20% of stocks and distribute them to all the rest of the stockholders."

"You wouldn't dare son!" Jake father said.

The doors opened and in walked six guards. "Please escort these two down to the police waiting in the lobby. They are not welcome back in this building."

"Yes Sir" said the head guard.

"You can't do this I am you father."

Jake got up from his desk and said, "You were only my father in name only. The moment you tried to mess with my company you became my enemy. I always crush my enemies."

Then they were dragged away. For some reason he felt a little sad at all this but just a little.

Jake attended a few meeting in the conference room then headed back to his office. As he walked in he seen his mother sitting on the couch drinking tea.

"Mother."

"Son, please sit down, we need to talk." He walked over and she tried to hand him a cup of tea but he refused.

"Sorry it might be drugged." He said.

"Now why would I drug you here?"She smiled.

"Why did you drug me the other night?" He was now staring at her to see if she would lie.

"That was for your own good. If you would of let yourself sleep with that girl then you would know how special she was."

"Well it didn't work. I just seen how evil everyone is around me."

She rolled her eyes, "We are not evil we care a lot about you."

"What do you want Mother?" He was getting impatient.

"Drop the charges on your father." She asked.

"Ok sign your shares over to me then I will." He said leaning back now.

"No, I can't." She said.

"Then he goes to jail and the shares go to the board members."

"Ok, you win. I think you are the evil one."

He pulled out his phone and asked Zane to bring up the paper work for the transfer.
