Exhausted from the night’s events, Jason plopped down on the couch as soon as he got to his apartment. He couldn't stop thinking about what Dario had told him about his memories being blocked because of trauma.What could've been so traumatic that almost all my childhood memories were blocked? The question was on repeat in Jason’s mind. Try as he might, he couldn't find an answer.It wasn't until he heard his ringtone that he was drawn out of his thoughts and brought back to reality. He checked the caller ID and saw that it was Diana who was calling him. He deliberated for a few seconds but eventually answered.“Hello?” Jason said as he sat up.“Hi Jason, I'm not going to take too much of your time. You forgot one of your boxes at my place. Please come over tomorrow and pick it up,” Diana said curtly.Jason furrowed his brow in confusion. He thought that he had taken all the boxes with him. "Sure, I'll be there tomorrow morning,” Jason said before he hung up.“Tomorrow is going to be

Andrew’s eyes shifted around the room; he tried to focus on anything but the smug look on Jason’s face. He glared at his wife, who was avoiding his gaze completely. Everyone watched him in silence; they were still in shock because of the phone call Jason had just made. Thousands of questions filled their heads about exactly who Jason was for the legendary Estelle to make the year’s jewel for him. They didn't want to believe it was true, but with the evidence Jason presented, they couldn't deny it.Even though the mere notion of kneeling to Jason, especially in front of his wife and son, made Andrew’s stomach churn, he knew that it would be even more embarrassing for him if he didn't keep his word. With burning cheeks and trembling limbs, Andrew sank to his knees, his head bowed low. He heard a small gasp coming from someone behind him as he knelt.A few moments passed before he finally mustered the resolve to open his mouth and speak, “I'm sorry, I accused you of lying, Jason.” The

Amelia’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she watched Jason’s reaction. His face twisted in confusion, and Amelia internally cursed herself, wishing she could erase the awkwardness that now enveloped the room. But she knew that she had a goal to achieve, so she swiftly wiped away the look of regret that she had on her face. “Don’t take it the wrong way; you know what I mean. We will just talk over lunch,” she said.Jason thought it over for a moment and nodded. "Sure, why not? Let’s go”Amelia was slightly surprised by his response, but she smiled and played it off like she knew he would agree. “Perfect. I'll be out in a minute. Can you wait for me outside?”Jason nodded. He stood up from the chair and walked out of Amelia’s office. After a few minutes of standing outside, Jason saw Amelia come out of her office.“Shall we?” Amelia asked."Yeah,” Jason said in a monotonous tone.They exited the building and got into Amelia’s car. The drive to the restaurant was quiet, but it wasn

"Renee,” Jason said as he turned around and spotted her bright smile.Much to Amelia’s displeasure, Jason got up to greet Renee. “How are you?”“I'm great, and you?” she beamed.“I'm doing all right,” Jason said with a small smile.Amelia got up as well and stood uncomfortably close to Jason, causing him to move away slightly. “Renee, darling, it's been so long. How are you?" Amelia said“Amelia! I haven't seen you in years! I'm good, you?” Renee beamed“I'm doing great. I see that blond dye is still working its magic on your hair." Amelia said with a slight smirk playing on her lips.But rather than get offended, Renee just laughed it off, the warm sound filling the room. "Well, of course, it is; I paid good money for it after all.”Amelia let out an awkward, dry chuckle at Renee’s reply. "Well, I would love to stay and chat, but Jason and I...”“Renee” A voice called out, interrupting Amelia mid-sentence. It was Bruno, Renee’s husband. He stood next to her and furrowed his brows i

As Jason sat in the taxi lost in thoughts of the Elysian Syndicate, the predicament with Renee and Lana. He also couldn’t shake thoughts of Amelia and her strange behavior. The sudden sound of a question from the taxi driver jolted him back to reality “Hey buddy, are you alright back there?” the taxi driver asked with concernJason cleared his throat before replying “Yeah, why do you ask?” “Well, I've been asking you exactly where you’re headed for a while now. You didn’t give me an exact location” the driver replied, Jason heaved a sigh as he scraped his fingers through his hair, amazed by how deep he was in the thought that he forgot to give his full address.“I get it, we all get into our heads every now and again,” the taxi driver said with a warm smileJason’s lips curled into a faint smile “Yeah some of us more than others” he said.Before Jason could give the driver his address, the peaceful atmosphere was disturbed as a black jeep swerved in front of their car, blocking the
