As Jason slowly made his way home, he couldn't stop thinking about Matthew's words. He knew Mabel wasn't a good woman and he also suspected that she might have dabbled in shady businesses from time to time but kidnapping? And she didn't just kidnap anyone, she kidnapped the son of someone who took her as a friend."James and his wife weren't the only ones who lived in the mansion. In fact, the couple from the story I told you are in fact, Mabel Kings and her husband." Matthew had explained everything to him. While it was true that his grandfather took a liking to Mr Anderson and his wife, his parents had housed Mabel and her family before then.To think that he was married to Lauren for over two years without knowing the true identity of her mother. A lot of thoughts began to float around in his mind. Could it be that his whole marriage with Lauren was just a scheme?Were they trying to figure out if he remembered?Or could it be that Lauren had fallen for him sincerely but her pare

Rain lashed against the windshield of the ash mini van that drove down a deserted, one lane highway, the driver was aware that he was going over the speed limit but he went on anyway, probably in a hurry to beat time. The wheels slipped a little on the wet slippery pavement, but he managed to keep the car steady. The man behind the wheel peered through the front window trying to see what was ahead of him but the impending fog made it difficult to see anything. The weather forecast had predicted rain and a bit of thunder so he was hoping to make it to his appointment before mother nature let down her natural showers, but it was already too kate.Outside the front window, the rain was coming down in torrents, blurring his vision even more. The windshield wipers whipped back and forth over the window, attempting to clear away the large droplets clinging to the glass – but it seemed they weren’t moving fast enough. Looking out his side window, the driver was a little uneasy as he realize

"Jason, are you going out?" Lauren inquired as Jason walked towards the exit."Well I'm certainly not coming here to play with the door am I?" Things between he and Lauren had been going downhill with each passing day. She eventually got the abortion she wanted, probably as a means of getting a step ahead of Phil. Since that day, they hadn't sat down together at the table for a meal. He started leaving home at least an hour earlier than usual and returned even later. And whenever he was at home, he'd spend the whole day in his bedroom.It had been three weeks and four days since Erika's had been in a coma and Jason was starting to look like he also needed the attention of a doctor. He didn't eat as often as he normally did, and whenever the night sky took over, he would just lay awake in his room till the sunlight would start to poke through the curtains. Living without Erika was immensely hard.Her mother had been giving him a tough time because he refused to sign the agreement form.

"I thought you were honoring my wishes by not setting foot in my house, should I assume that you no longer want to honor my wish any longer?" David Sandler said, a pompous smile on his face. Rose had gone over to Jason's house to relay her father's messages. He was offering him a seat on the Board on the condition that he continued with the marriage process with her. Finding a way into the Board had been Jason's mission all along. He believed that the most effective way to disrupt their whole system would be to do it from the inside, and now that he had been given that opportunity on a silver platter, he had to utilize it well."Mr Sandler–""Please, call me father." The man corrected. "I can proudly tell you that you have made the right choice. Becoming a member of the Board will not only make you more powerful, it will also make you a very rich man. Don't you want to be a rich man Jason?"He wanted to be, and he already was. Probably even richer than Mr Sandler was. As for the pow

Mabel sat on her bed in her luxurious master bedroom, her arms crossed and she had an unpleasant frown on her face. She was upset. Marcus, her son had been trying to convince her all morning but she was refusing to bend to his wishes. What he was asking for was something that could be of great benefit to both he and his mother, and she knew that, she was just being stubborn because she hated the conditions that came with it. Emilia Clarke was the only daughter of Beatrice and Steven Clarke, a rich and powerful couple in the city. Marcus wasn't sure of the profession the Clarke family were into but he knew that they were worth billions of dollars. There were some rumors and speculations that Steven Clarke was involved in mafia business and human trafficking. Of course none of it was actually proved. Mabel used to be good friends with the Clarke family, and she and Beatrice were really close friends. They went everywhere together and the woman was always contributing to her business
