Jack Millstone was supposedly the most successful businessman in London. In 1970s, he owned two established companies in South and west London. He also had a very wide plantation in north London. When he drifted his convertible gliding down the street, all the women’s eyes could not avoid averting their eyes to see the most successful and handsome man in London.
All the man in London surely wanted to be like him, but, being Jack millstone was not absolutely happy. Because of his fame and wealth, many people, especially his relatives in bad intention tried to kill and take possession of everything he had. At least, there are 5 cases of murder trial had been committed to him. But nobody had successfully done their job since there were about 15 bodyguards staying around him.
In 1982, Jack was in the fatigue limit, after years being terrorized by people who desirously wanted his wealth.
“My life is more precious than anything in this world” he sighted.
He sold his companies and plantation, then donated all the money to a child foundation in Zimbabwe and decided to isolate himself peacefully in a small house in the countryside. In there, he became a shepherd. Although he had only ten sheeps, and all he could afford to buy was only a food for a week for every time he sold the wool. Yet, he lived happily.
Having a good-looking face made it easy for him to attract any women in that country. In only a month being a shepherd, his name had been wide-spreading across the country. Many women started to come just to greet, meet and ask him to teach them how to treat the sheep. Because of that, the young men in that country began to hate him. They tried to kill him by burning his house when he was asleep. Luckily, he noticed the smell of fire and escaped in time.
In desperation, he sold his sheeps and alienated himself to a desolate place to avoid harming his life. He settled down in a hut in the mountain and struggled by planting plants and hunting boars. When he was going down to find some water, he saw a beautiful young woman with a long hair by the river. She looked familiar to him.
“Yes, she used to come to my dream, hold my hand, and have a very interesting conversation with me. I have been falling in love with her for a long time, even before I know her” he thinks.
Her name was Jill, she said that she lived in a hut on the top of the mountain. After they got to know each other, they always meet by the river and finally decided to be in a relationship.
It had been two months since they were in a relationship, He still did not know where his beloved live. Jill had never asked Jack to come over his house. Instead, she forbade him to come to her house, but being blinded by love, Jack had never thought badly about her.
One day, Jack was hunting down the mountain, mistakenly when he shot a boar, he missed his shot and broke a window in a small house. Nervously he came to apologize, but he was shock when he saw Jill sleeping with a man in that house. When he asked Jill’s explanation, offensively, the man who slept with Jill attacked Jack. In a pinch, Jack pointed his rifle and shot him. Jill cried out and asked him to go. When he was walking out with tears running down his cheek. He heard a gunshot, eventually he noticed that he leaved his rifle behind.
He ran to the top of the mountain and found a canyon.
“I have lived in the middle of people who desirously wanted my death. Yet, I am here… alive. I have escaped from thousand trials of killing and I am here … breathing. Nobody was able to end my live, but there is one thing that can… love. I have given a dagger to something called love, and waited for it to stab me… and this will be the time.”
