Jason received a call from Celia when he went to make payment and to do the necessary documentation since Charlotte was not a registered patient of Lifeline Hospital.“Hello, mum” he picked up on the first ring when he saw the call and he felt a bit guilty for consistently putting off the call he had intended to make to her for the past few days.He knew why even though he did not voice it to himself and even though she had not said anything to him again since then.“Hi, son. How have you been?” her chirpy voice enveloped him in a way that he had never been able to explain since he knew her and the frustration he had been feeling about Charlotte’s attitude receded a bit.“I am fine” he replied, even though he was far from it at the moment. “How are Mia and that coconut head doing?” he asked with a small laugh.“The coconut head is right here” Jason’s smile widened as he hear Silas’ voice in the background “So, this is how you bad-mouth me when I am not around? No wonder she was becomi

“You want what?” he said in his unhurried way. He paid the ring on his finger extra attention as he awaited her reply.“I want him to be taken out of the way. You would do this for me, won’t you?” Sonia said cautiously. She wanted to bat her eyelashes at him but then he was not even looking at her so she decided to save her energy. She was sure she would need it soon anyway.She rose on her elbows, ignoring the silk sheets that slid off her chest, baring her pebbled aureole to him. It did not matter anyway as he had seen all there was to see and she had merely covered herself with the sheet because of the chill in the air.She could feel the faint abrasion on her breast from the way his unshaven face had scratched her when he had been handling her earlier. Not that she was complaining anyway. No, she was loving every moment with this man whom she had no idea could be as virile as he was at his age. Of course, the danger of being with such a man was as much the turn-on for her as his p

Jason decided to give Charlotte the space she badly needed from him. He was amazed at the rate at which he had led down his guard. He was the one that proposed the marriage after all. Even though he had found her attractive at first sight, he had deliberately proposed a business-based marriage because he did not want to make the same mistake he made with Sonia again. Jason thought he would never give his heart to any woman the way he had naively given it to Sonia. The tumultuous week that followed their separation was what made him realise that Charlotte had snuck right under his guard and laid a claim to his heart. He did not only have the hots for his wife, but he had also managed to fall in love with her. His wife, who hated him so much at the moment and did not hide the fact that she would like him to be as far away as possible from her. The heart she had laid claim to was left wanting as she gave him a cold shoulder treatment every time they met in the office, in a meeting or e

“What are you talking about?” Jason said in anger into the phone as he banged shut the car door that he just opened before the phone rang.“Sir?” the hotel valet who just handed the car key to him and was on his way back in asked as he looked back at Jason.Jason shook his head at the latter before he reduced his voice. “What part of "don’t get back to me unless you have something concrete for me" did you not get?”Sounds of speech could still be heard from the other side before he disconnected the call. “So much for being the best” he muttered to himself as he entered his car back and drove out of the hotel.***************The young-looking blond valet, who seemed to have left before came out of his hiding spot. He removed his phone from the jacket over his smart suit that held the customised logo of Canyonlands Hotel. He dialled a number with his eyes still on the direction through which Jason just left. “It is me. He just left. Yes”. with that, he looked around before removing th

Everyone gaped at Sonia, Matteo included. The bodyguards recovered from their shock quickly enough as they affected their stoic look. “Since you don’t want to be reasonable now, I will go somewhere else to grieve alone. See you later. Love you” Sonia said airily before she turned away from him. She saw the shock on his face at her casual tone but she did not care. Her days of caring were long over. She was finally free to do all she wanted without fear of what that old bastard would do if he found out. “Get that body prepared for the morgue instead of standing there and chattering like old biddies,” she said to the doctors, who were still whispering some things to themselves. They all rushed into the bedroom as if there were hounds of hell on their heels—anything to get away from Matteo’s wrath. “Where do you think you are going?” Matteo’s shock seemed to finally wear off as she was almost at the door. Sonia merely looked back and blew him a kiss before she slipped out of the door
