Panic attacks and breakups

Jax

"How legit is this?" I ask angrily. I've been pacing since I got the message.

"Very legit sir" My head of security answers

"Fuck!"

"Are you sure it's real?" My jaw clenches as I flip through the pages of the personal file in front of me

"Yes sir. Very sure" he repeats again

"Does she know?" I ask so I don't jump to conclusions

"Last time we checked, no, sir. But I was informed that a lady from her childhood home visited her last night, with the kid. We're unaware of what went on inside the house sir" my head of security clarifies again

I glance at the message that has been bugging me since I received it last night "How do they know all this? How the fuck were they able to find out!" I slam my fist on the table angrily

"I believe we have a.. a mole amongst us, sir," he says quietly

"What!" I get up from my seat and walk around the table where he is "I didn't hear you, I thought you said I have a mole problem"

He bows his head to avoid my gaze "T-that's what I said, sir." He raises his head a little "For these p-people to have this amount of information, it must have been provided by an insider, sir"

"Find him. Whoever it is find him and deliver him to me"

"Yessir. I'll inform Tiago sir" He bowed his head a little and turned to leave

"Thomas, inform whomever you want when I give you the permission to do so"

"Yes boss" He leaves

"Fuck!" I yell and throw the document away out of anger

I've come too far for it to be ruined, I can't allow it.

I finally have everything I deserve everything that's mine. Everything that makes me so fucking happy.

Imaani

I can't believe I let myself get carried away like that! It was supposed to be a fling a fucking fling that ends and we go our separate ways.

And now I've got a mole problem on top of every other thing.

I'm sitting in this chair thinking who it could be.

Think Jax! THINK!

I pick up my phone and decide to text Micheal when out of nowhere, I'm taking the cover off, the back of the phone.

Just like a thought. A fucking chip!

This mole, whoever it is, is starting to get on my last nerve.

I grab my car keys and make my way to Micheal's house to speak to him.

This has to work, it has to!

I get to Micheal's house and I park the car close to the entrance before going in.

"Where is he?" I ask his butler

Yes, Micheal has a butler.

"Mr. Evans has a visitor, sir" Is he implying I wait

"I don't fucking care." I start making my way upstairs to his home office where I know he'll be

I don't bother knocking "Micheal! Veronica is working with someone against me" I run my hand through my hair angrily

I look around to see Micheal and my lawyer. "I know" Micheal replies without as much as a glance toward me

"What are you doing here Mr. McGuire?"

"I called him here" Micheal answered

"Why?" My eyebrows

"Because I'm going to give them what they want" he replied sternly

"Excuse me?" He's gotta be joking right

"You heard me. Look, I've got nothing against you man, you're my best friend. But sometimes.... people switch sides"

"You're the mole?" it came out as more of a question than a statement

He smiled "Well... if you want to put it that way, sure"

I lunged at him "You son of a bitch! I trusted you... you're my best friend, you bastard!" His security held me back from hitting him

He looked at me "Like I said" He looked down at the document the lawyer gave him, then signed "People change sides"

"I thought you hated Veronica?" I glare at the man holding me and he immediately let's go

"I do." He replied shortly

My brows furrow "What did she give you? She has nothing that can interest you!" I pause when it finally clicks "She told you Vanessa is alive didn't she?"

God how didn't I fucking see this!

"If you ask me, what she's asking for is small, just do what she says and we all go home happy. Simple!."

"Fuck you! they're threatening a kid and an innocent man!"

"Because you pissed her off"

"I don't care about fucking Veronica! I want to know the bastard she's working with. She's not working alone"

"I don't care. I just want one thing and one thing alone." He stands in front of me "Vanessa"

"What if she's working with them? Huh, what if she's different? If she's alive they didn't keep her that way because they want to fucking braid each other's hair and tell stories! Ask yourself, what she fucking offered them"

"That's the thing about me, I don't care! If I see one shot at happiness I'm taking it! And that's what I'm doing" He walks to his chair and picks up his suit " And I don't care what she offered them, I'll handle it as far as I've got her with me" he said in barely an audible whisper

"You can't do this" I go to grab him but I'm blocked if you hand it over I'll kill you I swear!"

"Last time I checked it was my company, not yours. Have a nice day friend."

I walked angrily to my car and got in before deciding on where I wanted to go.

While driving my eyes go to the letter on the passenger seat.

I can see my knuckles turn white from how hard I'm gripping the steering wheel. I hate this! This lack of control is killing me and it feels like there's nothing I can do about it

My phone starts ringing and I contemplate picking it up at first when I see who it is.

"What do want?" I ask her after I answer

"Is that any way to talk to someone who has your life in their hands?" Veronica chuckles

"Don't be stupid. Like I said what do you want? Don't waste my time being a fool"

"Your company, and for you to dump that lowlife wretch, if not... you know what happens"

"You see that's the issue. Because I'm not handing over my company until I know who you're working with or for"

"I work alone." She sounded smug

"That's where you lie Veronica. We both know you're not smart enough to handle a flour factory talkless of my company. And it's the fact that you're the number one lowlife wretch, calling another person one. Seek help, Veronica." I park my car "Who are you working with?"

I can hear her fuming through the phone. "Imaani looks so good cleaning in those shorts, I bet the man I sent there is enjoying the view before he kills her"

"That's the thing, Veronica, I don't care. Never did. Thanks to you, turning my feelings off and on have never... been easier. So do what you want, besides it's not like I have any family of mine for you to threaten"

She's quiet. "At least Micheal was smart enough to pick the winning team" she paused dramatically "Give me what I want, Jaxon. Or else you won't like the outcome" She ends the call

FUCK!

I start the car but I don't drive away, I'm just sitting by the roadside with a running car and shaking hands.

I can feel the bile gathering in my throat. I open my car door and rush out and I begin to puke out all the contents of my stomach. When I finish I walk back to the car and pick up my water to rinse my mouth.

After collecting myself I get in the car and just seat there for a few minutes. without turning the ignition off. I pick up my phone to do what I was supposed to do.

End things with Imaani.
