Jason was nervous on the spot. He knew that the entire contract coming to him on a platter just had to be out of the ordinary. "What is the condition, Sir?" He finally asked the president. The middle-aged man grinned before he began to speak. "You know, in the business world, we have opportunities to get into collaborations for business deals. For us to secure these collaborations, there needs to be a seal to ensure that we are sure of it, more like the sealing of a contract." He paused and looked at Jason, who had suddenly stopped eating. His appetite had vanished a while ago and he did not feel so comfortable. "You are a successful businessman, and I am the president of the country who can offer you all the major contracts I will be handling for the state. It would be a good idea for you to get married to my beautiful daughter so that we will agree." Jasmine was spellbound by this proposal and it was as though her appetite also disappeared as well at this news. She looked at Jason,

Jason dashed out of the mansion immediately and Samson quickly followed after him, as he already knew that his boss wanted to go somewhere. He asked the driver to pull out one of the cars immediately as he asked Jason where they were headed. In a few minutes, they were on their way to the hospital and Jason could not help but indeed at what the doctor had managed to find out in such a short time frame. He soon got to the hospital and without checking in at the reception, he dashed to the doctor's office. Nobody dared to stop him because he was powerful. They recognized who he was at once. "Thank you for coming on such short notice," the doctor began once he was in the office. "What have you found out?" Jason asked sternly, not in the mood for so many pleasantries. The doctor motioned him to a seat and slid a file to him. Jason took it immediately and looked through it, but he could not fully understand the medical jargon that it contained. "I asked for your late father's record to b

Daphne remained in the mansion for the third week and Laura was not too excited about it. Jason, on his part, did not see any fault with it at all. The most important thing about it was that he enjoyed her company. When he was not working, he was in her room. He had even urged her to come to the master's bedroom with him on some occasions. He had just managed to slip out of bed this morning and went to his office. He was supposed to go check out his oil rigs later in the day with Laura, and he was sure that she was already waiting for him. Just as he guessed, she was right at his office when he got to the executive floor. "You know, I wonder what you would do if you were married like I am," she said to him as he proceeded to his seat. "Whatever do you mean?" He asked her with a feigned ignorance. "Come on, Jason. You are not even married to Daphne and yet, she takes all your time." "But I intend to make things official with her sooner or later, so it is not a big deal.""It's not my

At this point, he could not believe his eyes. He wished that Jasmine was present to witness this, and she would confirm it as well. He watched the gait and it was just as he had seen in the video. His heart shattered into a thousand pieces at the realization that it was Alex who had murdered his father. His father had been nothing but good to Alex and his family. His father took Alex in when he was a young lad and gave him a respectable source of living. Disappointment still shifted to anger, and it surged through him in a way that burned so much. "What are we waiting for?" Jason asked the officer, and he gave the signal for them to be ambushed. Two officers got in first, taking all the guards down. A gunshot was heard and one of the guards dropped dead to the ground. Alex became suddenly afraid and he looked for a way to redeem himself. Without thinking about it so much, he untied Jacob easily and held him with a gun to his head. "Come out now!" He ordered. "Come out or I'll shoot!"

When they got to the house, Samson was the first to come out of the bus. They had to use a travel bus to come home from the hospital because of Jason's condition. Jacob came out next, bubbly with excitement that, finally, his brother was back home. Samson took out the wheelchair from the back and opened it up. With the help of the driver, they helped Jason onto it and made sure that he was comfortable before they left it. A nurse was with them, and she held the handle of the wheelchair to wheel him inside. She was going to be his home nurse for all the while that he would be confined to the wheelchair. Laura had already booked an appointment with a physiotherapist who would be attending to him at home. As the nurse was about to wheel him inside, Daphne ran out of the mansion in excitement as she came to hug him. It was the first time that he had seen her since he was at the hospital. He had missed her for the entire three weeks, but he would not dare to ask Laura or she would be pis
