"These fucking reporters," I shouted as I threw down the newspaper in disgust. "Adam Jacob, a Casanova and a big-time player have broken up with Supermodel Heather Summers."

That's the headline that was on the front of the newspaper. These journalists were like a hungry dog lusting after a damn bone, they had written total crap and made it seem like I was the bad guy–clearly, they didn't know who Heather Summers was.

I can bet my life that she was the one who tipped them off and me knowing to be a famous "Casanova," they made me looked to be the bad guy––the headline clearly showed it.

"Mrs. Wilson, where's my coffee?" I shouted to my personal assistant.

"Coming right away sir," I heard her indistinct reply. It was seven in the morning and I am at my office in New York City cranky as hell. It's been days since I last slept.

I had returned home today at five am in the morning to see that bullshit headline and also me lacking much-needed sleep wasn't making the situation any better.

I was now the CEO of Jacob's Enterprise a multi-billion distribution company. I was recently appointed by my dad Kyler Jacob who had decided that he should retire and enjoy the rest of his years remaining playing golf and other sports.

Seeing that I had got my bachelor degree in business at UC Berkley at the age of twenty and I'm his only son he passed down the business to me in hopes that I can maintain the profits and keep the business upright.

My dad, Kyler Jacob is now a widower and he has been that way for fifteen years he said that no woman could ever replace my mom so that's why he never got re-married and this a good thing for me as I don't want anyone to take advantage of my dad and his money.

My mom who I had spent only five years together after my existence and like that poof! She was gone, she had died in a car accident shortly after I turned five.

I remembered that day like it was yesterday my dad had come home with his eyes puffy, swollen and red when he had told me what happened I was hurt and distraught.

I didn't get to say goodbye or tell her how much I loved her. I was closed off for months. I wouldn't speak to anyone.

I had so much anger in me that I would lash out at anyone who came close to me. My dad had tried to reach out to me but I rebuffed his efforts–– I had refused to let anyone, I was so angry.

That's until James my now bodyguard, driver and a family friend who has been with the family many years had come into my room and forced me to hear him out.

He had told me that he knew what I was experiencing and the pain I was feeling for he had gone through it but his situation was worst, his mom was killed right in front of him by a man who is dad had owed a huge amount of money too.

He also showed me how to channel my anger by doing karate and training hard until the anger had subsided.

To many, he seemed like a frightening giant but in reality, he was a calm and collected guy he only breaks bones when someone messes with the ones he loves. He is like a second father to me.

Since appointed the CEO I have managed to hold up the company's image and profits, in spite of my lifestyle choices. My employees are afraid of me and think of me as a cruel and heartless bastard because of the harsh way I treat them but that's not the case.

This world we live in is full of competition and what would people think when Jacob's Enterprise hit rock bottom, my dad will be criticized by everyone, they will be gossiping all over.
