Life at the Top

Jasper looked at Hector, his gaze calm like a lake of dead water.

“What if I don’t want to crawl?” Jasper asked instead.

Jacob scoffed. “Do I look like I’m giving you an option to choose from? Stupid!”

“Either beg for mercy today, or I’ll call someone to close yours and Jim’s company down. Jim will have his license revoked! Trust me, I can easily do all of this and more!”

Jacob spoke with an arrogant laugh, “Your relationship with Jim is great, right? His wife and child are both in Swallow Capital, and I think his son’s doing his second year in a reputable high school. I’m afraid his wife and son will only suffer if I send word out!”

Jacob leaned into Jasper as he spoke and scoffed. “By then, not only will your company suffer, but Jim’s entire family will also fall apart because of you!”

Jim’s expression shifted as he roared, “Come at me, you coward! You think threatening my kids makes you so great?”
