I’m Someone Else

His eyes were bloodshot, and his hands tightly gripped the steering wheel. Jake pressed the accelerator to the floor, recklessly speeding down the road.

It was only through this reckless driving that he could find some temporary relief from his overwhelming despair.

“What the hell is wrong with this guy? Is he in such a rush to die?”

“No, he’s rushing to attend his loved one’s funeral.”

“Damn it! He really is something. Why is he causing chaos on the road just because he wants to die? Can’t he just do it without dragging the rest of us into it?”

Jake’s actions drew complaints from people on the road. He even ran red lights and paid no attention to other vehicles. In his eyes, there were no other cars, only people desperately trying to avoid him. If they failed to evade him in time, a traffic accident would surely ensue. It was no wonder that everyone cursed him for his actions.

After arriving at the company, Jake settled himself into the executive chair in his office as he closed his eyes in contemplation.

Seeking vengeance for his son through Blake was now out of the question. He had to find a solution on his own. Since I can’t take any action against Chloe, I need to find someone else connected to Thomas to target. Considering that Thomas is an orphan, his connections are likely limited. Apart from Chloe, his foster sister, I doubt he has any other family members. While Olivia shares a close relationship with him, targeting her is out of the question since he is always in her presence. What other options do I have?

Suddenly, Jake’s eyes snapped open, revealing a glimmer of resolute determination. He swiftly reached for his phone, pressing a series of buttons before holding it to his ear to initiate a careful inquiry.

Five minutes later, he concluded the call, a faint smirk playing on his lips. He had devised a plan to deal with Thomas, one that would not only infuriate and unhinge the man but also have the potential to eradicate him entirely if executed with precision.

Although this method was somewhat devious, Jake couldn’t bring himself to care anymore. Who gave you the right to take my son’s life, Thomas? Who the hell do you think you are?! Meddling in other people’s affairs when you have nothing better to do, eh? The one I’m going after is Olivia. What does it have to do with you?

Knock! Knock!
