J: Jack
"Alex's housekeeper, and guardian after Ian."
Alex didn't know what it was about Jack Starbright, but she had a way with Alex that nobody else did, not even Tom. The fiery, red-headed American had a temper with a short fuse, and the fists to back it up. No, she had never hit Alex, but she had hit a number of people, mostly men, in front of the teen. She had even hit Wolf once, which is another story altogether. But contrary to her temper, her concern for Alex's well-being was something to marvel at.
Ian had hired the Woman when Alex was eight, and she was nineteen. Jack had grown quite attached to the little Rider boy. And now he was fourteen and she was twenty-five. She was far past college and going back home, but she didn't care because Alexander John Rider needed her.
Jack hadn't bothered to tell Alex that her visa had run out three years ago, she didn't have the heart to wound those innocent brown eyes. But when Alex had come back from the bank and informed her, with a hard stare, that Blunt had renewed her visa, she felt guilty.
Over the months, those brown eyes lost their innocence all together. Jack made it her personal goal to do something about that. So when Alex came back from his snake head mission, and Jack got the pleasure to meet the man that had renewed her visa, she smiled and shook his hand, punching him square in the jaw while doing so.
No, Jack would never hit Alex. But she felt no need to refrain from hitting his boss. The only thing Jack hit Alex with that day was a well deserved bout of real laughter. The teen was just glad that Blunt had already renewed the visa.
