10 years ago...
Jackson went on a business trip to South Africa, with the hope that he'll be making more money if the deal works out.
Jackson sat down confidently on a sofa in (Sandton Sun and Towers hotel) in Johannesburg.
He was waiting for his business associates to join him when he received a call that his adopted son, Jordan, had moved $5 billion from the company account to an untraceable crypto wallet.
On hearing this fear engulfed him, as he walked hastily towards his car, with his heart beating fast.
He called his business associates and alerted them of the new development, so they canceled the meeting.
Jackson ordered his security to take him to the airport immediately, and so they did.
He flew back to New York, but on getting to his mansion, his son was nowhere to be found.
Jo.... Jordan! He called out in a very angry tone, his heart was racing uncontrollably, and his wife Mariana joined him shortly.
"Why are you screaming my son's name?" She asked, pretending not to be aware of the situation.
Jackson had already grown tired of her, she changed since their son celebrated his 20th birthday.
"Where is he? I need him here, right now. Go and fetch him."
"If Jordan is your problem then I'm sorry to disappoint you, but he is not at home, he went to see his friend," Mariana replied.
"Did you hear that he stole $5 billion from the company's account? How come you don't seem concerned" Jackson asked.
"How can you say that? if he took $5 billion from the company's account, he only took what belongs to him. or is he not your son?"
Jackson was very disappointed hearing such words from his wife, he stormed out of the house quickly and ordered his security team to track down Jordan.
They tried to track down his adopted son, Jordan, but all their efforts proved abortive.
Jackson knew his wife Mariana had a hand in the whole incident, but whenever he confronted her she denied it.
To save the company from crashing he had to borrow a sum of $3 billion from (JP Morgan chase) so he could keep the company running.
Mariana was putting no effort to find Jordan, and Jackson noticed. He refused to tag his adopted son as a criminal despite the pressure he received.
Mr. Jackson, applied for a divorce from his union with Mariana, not knowing that what he just gave her was exactly what she wanted.
He was asked to pay $500 million, as alimony to his wife, within the space of 3 years after the divorce.
And that was the end of his marriage with Mariana.
Jackson regretted ever listening to Mariana when she suggested they should adopt Jordan.
With Jordan and Mariana gone, Jackson lived a boring life and swore never to fall in love again.
