Jason sat down with his mother, the weight of his discoveries heavy on his shoulders. He took a deep breath before speaking, his voice filled with a mix of frustration and determination.“Mom, I need to know the truth. About our family, about my father,” Jason said, his gaze locked with his mother’s.His mother looked at him, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and concern. “Jason, I’ve tried to protect you from this for so long. But it seems that the time has come for you to know the truth.”Jason leaned forward, his hands gripping the edge of the table. “Tell me everything, Mom. I can’t live with these lies anymore. Who is my father? And what is this about a sister?”His mother took a deep breath, composing herself before she began to speak. “Your father… he was never completely honest with us. He had his secrets, his past. And as for your sister, I’m afraid she doesn’t exist. Your father fabricated her existence.”Jason’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What? Why would he do that? Wh

They had just resumed back to school and this gave them a little bit of freedom. At least they could all see each other and be free from the grip of the adults.As Jason and Ashley gathered with their friends, the tension in the air was palpable. Their previous week’s absence had left them with more questions than answers.“I couldn’t believe your parents had left you all that way. It happened to me also” Ashley said looking perplexed.“ Ashley I can't believe this is happening to us, what in the world is going on?” Jason said looking so dejected.Ashley then brought up an idea, “I feel we should question our parents. They seem to all have connections”. Jason reasoned with her for a while.Truthfully, how will the other three be locked up same way Jason’s Dad had locked her up. There are two many puzzles to solve truly.Jason’s brows furrowed as he listened to Ashley’s suspicions. “So, you think our fathers, the bodyguard, and the other boys’ fathers are part of this mysterious organi

Ashley's heart was heavy as she stood before her father, her tears flowing uncontrollably. Her father had been waiting for her, prepared to confront her about her defiance the previous night. However, the sight of his daughter in tears softened his expression, and he approached her cautiously."Ashley, what's the matter? Why are you crying?" her father asked, concern lacing his voice.Through her sobs, Ashley struggled to find her words. "I... I should have trusted you, Dad. Jason... he's not who I thought he was. He betrayed me, and I don't know what to do anymore."Her father's eyes widened in apparent delight, and he reached out to comfort her. "Oh, my dear, I've always tried to warn you about him. I've told you that he's not the right match for you, that money doesn't change a person's character. But you insisted on being with him, blinded by his wealth."Ashley's sobs intensified, and her father continued to speak, his words tinged with a touch of superiority. "You see, my dear,

After arriving at the hotel, Jason and Ashley ensured that they hadn’t been followed, taking precautions to ensure their secrecy. The relief of their successful escape washed over them as they stood in the hotel room, surrounded by a newfound sense of determination.As they embraced, Ashley’s voice was filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Jason. I can’t believe we actually made it out. You found a way, and I’m so grateful for your help.”Jason held her tightly, a reassuring presence in her moment of vulnerability. “You’re not alone in this, Ashley. We’re in this together. We’ll find the truth about your mother and unravel the mysteries that tie our lives together. I promise you, we won’t stop until we uncover the whole story.”Ashley’s eyes shimmered with a mix of emotions, her voice filled with determination. “I’ve waited for so long to find out the truth. Now that my father thinks I’m out of the way, we can finally observe him, see what he’s involved in, and understand why he’s kept m

As they contemplated their next move, a sense of frustration began to settle in. The lack of leads and the absence of Jason’s supposed sister left them feeling lost and unsure of their next steps. They were on the verge of giving up when Jason’s voice cut through the despondency.“Wait, I just remembered something,” Jason said, his eyes widening with a glimmer of hope.His words instantly grabbed everyone’s attention. Ashley leaned forward, her expression eager. “What is it, Jason? What do you remember?”Jason’s face contorted with concentration as he tried to grasp the elusive memory. “There was someone else at the mansion that day, someone who seemed out of place. I distinctly remember a man at the gate, just arriving as I did. He tried to stop me, claiming I was a poor beggar and didn’t belong there.”Ashley’s eyes widened in surprise. “Why would he say such a thing? Did he know something about the mansion?”Jason nodded, a hint of recognition in his eyes. “That’s what intrigued me
