Jason was skeptical about answering the call from the president, Daphne's dad. He knew what he wanted to talk about. It was nothing more than Daphne's pregnancy, and he would have wanted so badly to ignore the call. "Should I connect him to you?" Laura asked him, snapping him out of his reverie. "Of course," he replied reluctantly before he picked up the receiver by his bedside, and pressed it to his ears. Jasmine and Laura watched him as he listened to what the president had to say. It was as though the man was ranting because Jason was not given the chance to say anything. "Okay sir," he finally said before he dropped the phone and closed his eyes in exhaustion. "Daphne has to be the worst mistake of my life," he said as he let out a deep sigh. "What did he say?" Laura asked as she strode towards him. Jason was silent for the first few minutes with his eyes still closed, his head thrown backward, and resting on the wheelchair. "You know that whatever it is, we can fix it," she said

The room lights dimmed just as the meeting was about to commence. At midnight every Thursday, THE SIX had their meeting in the underground lounge, as though they were hiding away from all the atrocities that they had committed. A light was turned on and centered solely on a round table with six complete chairs. Anyone would want to refer to it as a secret Cult, but Klaus, their ring leader, thought that it was more of a confraternity.The whole place was eerily quiet as they began to stroll in. Evian was the first to come in. He had taken a huge stand in the education business. He had the best schools scattered around the globe, the ones that raked in billions of dollars every single month. Siman was the second to come in. He was black and African, but he had joined their confraternity after a business deal with Klaus in Africa. He had the longest and thickest reins in agriculture, and the influence of THE SIX had made him break grounds that he never thought of. As a result, he pledg

"I knew it!" Jason said as he adjusted on his seat making Cecilia roll her eyes at him. "This has nothing to do with what we had in the past. It is a secret that I intend to share with you," she said hurriedly. She went over to bolt the door before she came back to sit with him. Jason was willing to listen to her, as he leaned in with so much enthusiasm. "It's about Caleb," she blurted out. "I don't want to have anything to do with him. Jasmine is handling the Fintech company, and he is dead to me," Jason said without giving him a chance to speak further. "Caleb is seeking a place in THE SIX," she said without heeding his tantrum. "Wait. How did you know about THE SIX?" Jason asked her. "You are forgetting that my father is very influential. He has his ears on the ground when it comes to this matter. He knows about the collective hate that is prominent in THE SIX. Last week, I went to visit him in our family home, and I stumbled upon some files in his study, and I could not believe w

"What else do you have to say, Mr. President?" Jason asked, his tone laced with sheer mockery, one that suggested that there was no way that he acknowledged Maxwell's authority as president. "Sit," Maxwell instructed. Jason headed back to his seat reluctantly and sat down. There was a brief silence between the two men before Maxwell decided to break the ice. "There is something that you must know about blood ties in this family," he began. When Jason did not say anything, he continued. "We have a sort of community, and many people would like to refer to it as a confraternity, but we are just a group of friends that have bonded together in love, and have our family members involved as well.""What does that have to do with me?" Jason asked with a feigned ignorance, as though he was not aware of where Maxwell was going with all of this. "When you made Daphne conceive, you automatically became a member of this blood bond," Maxwell explained. "Why are you telling me this?" Jason asked. "B

When Caleb knew that his last resort was joining THE SIX, he was ready to do anything to be in their good books and gain their favor. Klaus decided that he would let him in on a single condition, which was to find out a deliberate secret that Jason was hiding from them. He knew that it was going to be a difficult feat, but he was insistent on giving it a try. To do this, he knew that he had to plant a mole in Jason's circle. So when he heard that Jason was in the hospital and would eventually require rehabilitation afterward, he knew that he needed to think up a possible plan. He had requested the service of a secret agent, and Olivia was recommended, having pulled off a series of operations successfully. He explained the mission to her, and it was Olivia who came up with the plan of being the nurse. Jennifer Sawyer was the nurse assigned by the hospital and was responsible for his home care. On the
