Faith swallowed subtly and then gave a curt nod, her eyes gleaming with determination, "Yes. Tell me, what's your professional opinion about me?" She asked. Heaving a sigh, Jason shrugged as he said,"You're a sweetheart beneath all the toughness you like to put on. You wear a fake armor of being cold and unfazed, but unfortunately, your cousins and parents see it too clearly. You're afraid that if you show them how soft and caring you are deep down, they'll take advantage and walk over you. But you've come to realize that this facade isn't working either,"Pausing a little, Jason continued. A part of him wondered if he was going too far, still he pressed on,"You opted for being a people pleaser, always wanting to make your mother and your Grandma happy, and working diligently, in fact so hard that you neglect your own happiness and chase after their approval," He stopped as he saw that she had long stopped looking at him and had chosen to stare at the table with her clasped hands

After Madam Rita's explosive response and abrupt exit, Jason and Faith had gone out to lunch shortly, leaving behind the number of eyes that trailed after them,Even with everything that had happened, he could still feel the eyes of the crowd judging him by his appearance, he could care less about their opinions, he was only after Faith feeling better after the whole episode with her cousin and grandmother.They arrived at a popular fast-food restaurant that was neat and had only a handful of people in it at their arrival, as Faith took in her surroundings, she quirked her brows but said nothing, Not realizing how famished he was, Jason immediately ordered a burger, and milkshake along with some fries, while Faith just ordered the classic chicken and chips, Nibbling on a chip, Jason gazed at Faith with a gleam in his eyes,"So tell me something, Miss Head of Management, how does it feel to finally prove your family wrong and get the promotion," he asked as he picked up the Coke can

As Michael's lips neared Jason's feet, the room fell silent with bated breaths, all of their eyes fixed on what was happening before them, Jason's face was inscrutable, but he had a slight smug expression on his face,Faith's face was a mix of expressions, on one hand, she felt vindicated by Jason, knowing that Michael was finally having a taste of his medicine; Michael had been coming for her and today was no exception, but on the other, she felt a deep sense of guilt as well as a pang of pity or was it sympathy? She could hardly believe that her cousin had been reduced to such a humiliating state,At that moment, if a pin had dropped, everyone would have heard it but probably not paid attention as they watched keenly to see if truly Michael was going to kiss Jason's feet,“Is Michael truly going to kiss his feet?" One of Faith's cousins inquired with her mouth agape as she watched with keen interest,“Hmph! You see his lips close to those filthy legs, yet you wonder and ask if he wo

Uhm…ehh”Michael stuttered as she shifted from foot to foot,"Don't waste our time! Make the payments.” Mrs Rita responded, and then faced Faith,"Faith, call out your details so he can make the payments," she said with authority; she wasn't going to direct it to Jason, as she deemed him insignificant.Jason chuckled before he shook his head and responded,“You see, the thing is," he drawled, taking his swell time to continue while they sneered at him. He was enjoying seeing the beads of sweat on Michael's face trail down to his chin, clearing his throat he continued,“Well, the bet isn't a monetary one. I actually do not need his money"Scoffs went around the room at his statement, but he ignored their subtle remarks, gazing intently at Michael. Mrs Rita's face turned sour just as her brows furrowed, she glanced between Michael and Faith, throwing a questioning gaze at the former, as though she was asking him,‘What in the world have you done?!’In response, Michael shook his head an

At that moment, Michael was reminded of the stupid deal he had made with Jason at his insistence and he nearly shuddered. One look at Jason and he knew the same thought was running through the bastard’s mind and it caused a whirlwind of emotions within Michael, he felt anger and humiliation, internally wishing for the ground to open and swallow him or for an apocalypse to take place, he couldn't imagine himself apologizing to any of them, he would rather die.As though the universe was against him, his grandmother turned to him with a tight smile and gave him a curt nod,“Don't keep us waiting Michael, apologize and get on with it" Michael swallowed and nearly toppled over, it was as though something had slammed into him. Blinking furtively, he glanced at his grandmother who had her brows raised, and also spared a smirking Jason a glance,“We're waiting, Michael. Apologize to your cousin, so we can get on with the preparations,” his grandmother called out once again, and Michael visi

Without hesitation, Michael quickly picked up the remote and turned on the television; at the same time, a couple of his cousins and a few colleagues were glued to their phones, with their mouths wide open. Every other person's attention was glued to the television,The man from earlier appeared on the screen, and Michael sneered, seeing his face was a brutal reminder of the embarrassment he had faced there, still he tried to shake it off and concentrate on whatever the man had to say,“Whoa, that's the COO of Greenlife Group, he's also the acting CEO. He's not handsome but intimidating”"Yeah, he must know and be close with the CEO who remains a mystery, nobody knows what he looks like" A few people whispered amongst themselves while their eyes remained on the screen, Mr Ethan was about to speak, he was in a conference room that was filled with the men and women of the press,“Thank you all for joining me at such short notice. I do not take it for granted as time is valuable.” He im

Dan Morris yelled as he stood right in front of Richard, glaring at him. He had heard of all Richard had done, and though they were a little impressive, it gave him no room to talk in that manner to him, clenching his jaw and fists he stared Richard down,“Is it because you're a lost war hero? Does that give you the right to be rude? You're nothing; you must have been something before now, but at this moment, you're nothing! Got that?!” He challenged Richard as he jutted his chin at him,Richard only stood unfazed, as he stared at the man while he barked. Bending his neck to the side, he smiled,“If you say so. But I'm going to ask you to apologize. Afterall you slapped a woman and our police Chief, it's only right that you apologize" Dan Morris immediately burst into laughter, the corner of his eyes twinkling as he gazed at Richard, the dude sure had audacity, he mused,“Are you such a fool or what? You expect me to apologize to her?” He turned to glower at Vivienne as he jabbed his

But before Richard could say anything to defend himself against the slander, another commotion ensued at the entrance of the prison, Andrew's father, Dan Morris had stormed his arrival with an army of men flanking his sides, the men were fierce looking and had some of the officers cradling their necks to have a glance, the others mumbling amongst themselves as they gazed at the heavy set men.“Where is my son?!" He thundered, as his eyes darted around the prison walls, as his eyes landed on the media that had surrounded the place and finally on his son who had a small smile at his father's arrival, Dan Morris glared at Harold,“What's going on here?! What have you lot done with my son?" Harold gulped, his cheeks reddening a little,"Huh… Si-sir…" he trailed, unable to string his words together.He had totally forgotten about Dan's incessant calls and messages, and hadn't imagined that the man would leave the capital to come look for his son. Harold had been hoping to curb the situati

With hate in her eyes, Cassandra turned to glare at Vivienne who had turned on the light at the sound of the footsteps,“What the hell did you do?!" She asked in a shrill voice, throwing daggers with her eyes at Vivienne who shrugged and smirked,“Just a little going away gift. I know how much the media loves you" she chuckled.Immediately cameras and microphones were placed in front of them as the media began asking question after question,"Mr Delaney, Miss Cassandra, Mr Morris can you all tell us why you're held up here?”"What allegations have been laid against you?" “Has Mayor Richard regained his freedom and demanded your arrest?" The last question infuriated Cassandra and so she stormed her leg, as she glared at them,"That bastard can never be free! A criminal never goes unpunished!” She exclaimed through gritted teeth."Is that so? So why are you locked up in jail?” another person countered, and Cassandra's face darkened. Andrew nudged her into not saying anything, as it c

Harold entered Vivienne with ferocity, his eyes darkening as he stormed in, “What is this I hear about having my child in your filthy station?!" He asked, straight to the point as he glared at a smirking Vivienne,Vivienne who was looking quite pleased with herself gave a crisp nod as she replied,“Good to see you too, Mayor Harold, or should I say former?" She quipped slyly causing Harold to clench his fists and glare at her irritably,On the other hand, Vivienne was a picture of calmness, although her eyes held deep amusement.“You're in an official environment, I'll advise that you keep your voice down,” Vivienne said coolly as she raised her head to look at him intently. The sight of Harold made her a little sick to her stomach, but she had to stomach it nonetheless,She couldn't understand how one person could be so vile and be surrounded by equally vile people. Was Harold Delaney so blind and stuck up in his nose and ass that he couldn't see the gem that Richard was, or perhaps

Meanwhile, back at the Capital, Dan Morris was working on his laptop when his door flung open, ushering in one of his greatest nemesis, Donald Curry, a federal government official, with Dan's secretary in tow, whose face was crumpled,“I'm sorry Mr Morris, I tried to stop him" Dan sighed and waved off the secretary as Donald walked with shoulders high into his office, spotting a smirk.Dan didn't miss the smirk on the man's face, he heaved a sigh and rested his back on the chair in a casual manner as he greeted the man through subtle gritted teeth,“Mr Curry. It's a pleasure, what can I do for you?" Donald, smiling smugly nodded crisply and said,"Nothing much, just thought I'd stop by and see how things are over here” was his response,Dan Morris quirked his brow up, he knew for certain that was just a flimsy excuse and that Donald was possibly playing at something else. Still, he nodded and replied in a clipped tone,“Everything is going on well, after all, a Morris is in charge

Cassandra's face turned deep crimson as he lunged herself at Richard, her hands clawing into the air, ready to do damage,“How dare you! You convict! How dare you insult me with no remorse?!” she shrieked, smoke billowing from her flaring nostrils and her ear holes,She seemed to forget that Richard was a seasoned fighter, but all of that was forgotten as she longed for blood, wanting to dip her curled nails into his face,Richard had braced himself for the impact, ready to trash her away like a hot sack of potatoes, but before Cassandra could reach him or Richard counter the attack, Vivienne appeared in the doorway, her entire face reddened,She was blazing with anger and authority, her hands curled beside her as she glared at the scene before her,“What the hell is going on here?! THAT'S ENOUGH MISS DELANEY!” she thundered, her voice reverberating through the prison walls.In a flash, Cassandra spun around and equally glared at her, red eyes to red eyes, the fury in their eyes was q

September 29th 2009, “W-here's where's m-my Angel?” As Jason opened his eyes, he looked around, dazed. The eyes felt too heavy to be opened, but he refused to close them. As his eyes rested on the strange man, he blinked rapidly, "W-who are y-you?” he questioned while staring intently at the man, "For now, that's not important. You'll get to know me in time, but right now, we need to leave this shack! Your life is in danger!” The strange man muttered, his eyes darting between the shack and the door. Hearing the urgency in the man's voice, chills crept down Jason's frail body, and he gulped, returning his gaze to the man, he blinked once more, "W-what do you m-mean? I'm safe here, nobody will ever think to f-find me in a shack” The strange man scoffed, and shook his head, “Boy, if only you knew”, was his curt response, and as Jason watched him, he struggled to sit up against the bare and flat mattress that lay on the floor. The more Jason stared around his surroundings

Louisa, Cecil, William and Olivia had been charged to court and were tried and found guilty of some offences. Louisa and Williams, as well as Cecil, were each given forty years each, while Logan was given ten years. Williams, Cecil and Louisa were also charged with child abuse and trafficking and were sentenced to thirty years of jail time with hard labour. Olivia was also sentenced to twenty-five years in prison for criminal conspiracy and manipulation of the law. While those were living their lives in prison, Adam and the rest of his crew were living theirs to the fullest. Leila had organised a surprise party for Adam with the help of Amber, Mira, Evelyn as well and her sister Joan, they were all setting up Adam's house for his surprise birthday, His adoptive parents and siblings were also on the ground, as well as his grandfather. With Raul’s help, everyone who mattered had been invited, everyone who had been instrumental to Adam's growth and progress, as well as those who ha

Adam was back in the basement, and he walked straight to the den of the old man, with Raul trailing behind him. He walked into the den and met the Old Man and Sage Robinson already sitting and waiting for him. They had heard the news and were waiting to congratulate him. “The man of the moment,” Dreymond called out from the corner where he was seated and Adam turned to see him and Amber seated together. Adam had not seen Amber since the other day at the coast brother’s basement and he was glad that she was recuperating. Old man Thompson stood up and walked towards Adam as they both approached each other. The old man saw the passion in his eyes and stopped. He tapped him on the shoulder and nodded his head, and everyone in the room had to do the same. That was the brotherhood way of celebration, “Weldon Adam,” The old man said and patted him on both sides of his shoulder. He was in prison with Adam, and he knew how he had fought for this moment, and he was very proud to be part of

After Adam had dropped her off, Leila walked into their home with sweaty palms, occasionally biting at her lips,She tried to keep her cool and not let her nerves get the best of her. She had already told Joan that she would be back just in time for their dad's arrival, and now, she had probably missed that. She walked into the living room gently, trying to be as silent as possible, hoping not to bump into either Joan or her father she tried to sneak in but she faltered in her steps with popping eyes to discover both of them in the sitting room discussing,“Leila.” Her dad called out gently as she walked in, with her gaze lowered and her fingers crossed at her back,“Come here, princess.” Her father said, spreading out his arms to receive her in for a hug. “I am sorry I was not here to welcome you, papa.” She whispered tearfully as she hugged her father tightly,“I know I have disappointed you; please forgive me, papa.” She said as she continued to let it rain with her tears.“I am

Seeing the expression on Mira's face, her mother quickly ran towards her and immediately grabbed the phone out of her hand, glancing at Adam before glancing at the phone, and as she did, her hands began shaking and her eyes popped out, also gasping like her daughter, “W-what. Un-unbelievable, Im-po-ssible” she kept stuttering and looking dazedly at Adam, Mira gaped at her empty hand, and back at Adam, her mouth agape. She swallowed and looked at him, “Fifty million euros, Adam?" As soon as she revealed the amount, everyone around gasped and turned their gaze at Adam, whose cheeks were turning slightly red; he nodded subtly at Mira while Leila stood staring at him unabashedly, grinning from ear to ear. Still smiling a little, Adam informed a still-stunned Mira, “One of my men will reach out to you, I'd like for you to head one of my companies. You were instrumental in my daughter's well-being as well as meeting a great woman" he cast a glance at Leila and she blushed. Madam Ruth

Once again Madam Ruth burst into a loud laughter, clutching her stomach as she did. Every other person watched as she laughed, Mira on the other hand gaped at Adam, unable to string any words together,A part of her was certain the reveal was true as there was something about Adam that was quite different and he didn't seem like a pauper the way her mother had made him out to be.Leila's eyes darted at Adam, and she tried holding their gaze to confirm it, but Adam wasn't looking at her; his face was almost blank, sans the little smirk she caught on his face. She found herself wondering if whatever he had to reveal was in line with what had just been revealed.Madam Ruth once again cut short her laughter and spluttered, glancing at the manager as she spoke in a disbelieving voice,“Are you blind or what? Or perhaps you hit your head on the way here," she deduced mockingly, and the man sneered at her, refraining from deeming her with a reply.The man, alongside others, ignored her, as A
