Butler’s Family
Jason was the first to step out of the hot tub before Brenda joined him. Handing over one of the two towels he grabbed to her, he gave her a lovely smile which made her blush while she grabbed the towel, and wrapped her body with it. “You are still staring.” Brenda said with her smile intact, but Jason couldn’t take his eyes away from her, not even for a second. “What am I going to ever do without you? You have brought me so much joy, Brenda.” “Nothing, Jay. You are going to do nothing.” Brenda chuckled while Jason nodded without getting rid of his smile. “You are right. Absolutely nothing, that’s what I am going to do if I ever lose you.” “Well, I am not leaving anytime soon. I am here with you, my love.” Brenda patted Jason on both cheeks before she turned and walked toward the bedroom, holding onto her towel with both hands. “We must hurry, Jay! We are having guests, remember?” “Oh, right! I almost forgot about that!” Jason rushed into the room, and got dressed

Special Announcement
While everyone sat comfortably, eating and drinking everything that had been set on the table, Jason picked up the glass of wine in front of him, and after looking at his Grandfather and getting the signal from him, he nodded before lifting the glass. “I have a special announcement!” He hit his fork on the brim of the glass, drawing the attention of everyone seated at the table who instantly put a hold t what they were doing, and paid keen attention to him. Everyone seemed curious to know what he was about to say except the old man who was already done eating his veggies and wiped his lips with a napkin while he maintaining a grin on his face. “First of all, I want to thank Harry for bringing his lovely family to dinner. It’s such a pleasure to have you all here. Family is everything, family is life, and I am happy that he has such a beautiful family.” Jason lifted the glass toward Harry who bowed gently, still wondering what he was up to. “Harry here has been working with thi

I Know!
The rays from the sunlight were shining brightly through the casement windows inside the bedroom. The curtains were half closed, giving way to the rays that hit Brenda’s eyes while she groaned in her sleep. As though there was a force, she opened her eyes instantly, only to behold the sight of shirtless Jason sitting close to her with a tray in both hands. “Wakie wakie! I was worried that too were not going to wake up on time to see this.” Jason had a beautiful smile on his face while he looked at Brenda who adjusted herself slowly, sitting up while she looked at the tray he was carrying. “What’s that?” “Oh! This? I made you breakfast! I had to wake up early just to make sure that everything worked as I planned. Here…” Jason opened the dish cover to reveal the egg and sausages on the plate next to a cup of black coffee. “I tried making the coffee just like you do. I hope I tried.” Jason handed the cup of coffee to Brenda who blew on the coffee before taking a sip. “Easy! I

Bring Him Home
For a few seconds, Jason remained silent, but it didn’t seem like that was going to solve anything. The old man was still waiting to get a response from him, and Harry was interested to know the outcome of their meeting as well. Adjusting himself to get a more comfortable posture, Jason cleared his throat and sighed before he spoke with a voice that almost sounded like a whisper. “He has a son.” He said calmly, but his words were too heavy for the other men in the room to remain as calm as he was. Lord Walker knew Jason to be a man who didn’t joke with such things but for a second, he remained calm, hoping that he was going to say he was joking. Maybe he meant to say something else. “A son?” “Yes, Grandpa. He has a son.” “Julius has a son?” Lord Walker leaned forward, and grabbed the half-empty glass of water which he consumed before returning it to the table. “Are you okay, Lord Walker?” Harry asked, moving closer to the old man who raised his hands to stop him from g

Joe’s Cafe
The waitress discovered that two men were walking toward her, and adjusting herself with a welcoming smile on her face, she greeted them warmly. “Hello, Sir. Welcome to Joe’s Café. Do you need anything?” “Yes. Hello. We are looking for a lady called Shirley. I was told she works here.” Jason said with a smile as well, looking at the waitress whose countenance showed that she didn’t know who he was talking about. “Shirley? I don’t think I know any Shirley who works here, Sir. I am new here, but I can get you someone who could know.” “Yes, please! Thank you so much.” Harry said calmly, gesturing to the waitress who nodded before walking away, holding onto the small notepad and pen she had in her hands. “I really hope this ends well,” Jason said with a whisper, sighing firstly while he kept his eyes on the path the waitress took. The waitress returned in less than a minute with another waitress who looked older and more experienced than her. “Hello, Sirs. My name is Nora. I

Shirley
For over an hour, Jason and the Butler remained seated, waiting patiently for Brenda to return with some news. The silence between them was laced with a little tension, but they were hopeful that something positive was going to come out of their adventure. Ignoring the lady who was secretly taking pictures of him with her smart phone, Jason adjusted himself before clearing his throat. He turned to face Harry, and spoke with a low tone. “Harry? Can I ask you something?” “Sure, Young Master! Anything at all.” Harry adjusted slowly, ready to hear what Jason was going to say to him. “Do you think the boy will be willing to come with us if he is real? Again, how do you think I am meant to handle a situation like this? I mean, the boy could be in a very bad mess, and I would have to pull him out of it.” Jason sighed, unable to discard the worrisome look on his face. But the middle-aged man had a smile on his face, and before giving him a response, he chuckled softly. “I know y

The Baron
Shirley was silent for a while, but the men standing close to her knew that she was thinking of the right answer to give to them, so they didn’t mind waiting until she was ready to speak. Eventually, she figured out what to tell them, and sighed heavily before she spoke with a loud whisper, trying as much as she could to be audible enough. “There was this man, he came looking for my son a few weeks ago. He said he stole something from him, and that he was meant to pay back for it. I told him that my son was not home, but he said he knew where to find him. He left and never came back.” Shirley sniffled, suppressing the extra tears that tried to roll down her face from her eyes. “When my son came back, I tried to warn him about the strange man, but he never listens. I pleaded with him to go far away, but he is as stubborn as his father. A week later, some men came to the house and took us. They blindfolded us and took us to this beautiful house where there were a lot of guards.”

Xavier
Jason could tell that the old man’s smile was fake, but he had to maintain a smile as well, eager to do what had brought him to the place. He looked around while marching slowly toward Baron with Harry and Ramon beside him. “I am sorry for coming to your place unannounced, Baron. But this is very important.” Jason explained calmly, but it took the man a while before he responded. “Well, you are here already. I wonder what brought you here, and I am eager to hear it. I only hope this has nothing to do with the Franchise.” Baron turned to face Harry and a frown instantly took over the smile on his face. “Lord Walker knows not to disturb me over such trivial matters. We had a deal, and I hope he will still keep to his own end of the bargain.” Baron continued with a smirk before returning his gaze to Jason who maintained his smile even though he was confused at that moment. “This way, please! Let’s go inside! You came at the right time, Mr. Walker, I was having a good time with my

More to It
Xavier gasped as soon as he heard the words that crashed his hope. He knew that Baron was brutal and dishonest, but he was also greedy. He had thought that he was going to let him go for the right amount, but it was obvious that there was more to it. “Why? Why the sudden change of mind, Baron? I am willing to give you any amount you desire, all you have to do is mention it.” Jason said calmly, trying as much as he could not to react. “I have changed my mind, Mr. Walker. I just realized that the boy is very valuable to me, and I can’t let him go just like that. You will have to tell his mother that you failed to bring him back. Trust me, this isn’t personal.” Baron lied with a smirk on his face, but Jason already knew that his words were false. “Your eyes say something else, Baron. This isn’t about the boy, is it?” Jason sighed, struggling to discard the frown on his face, but it was there to stay with no intention of leaving. “I don’t know what you are talking about, Mr. Walke

Misbehaviour
Lord Walker remained silent for more than ten seconds, but it was clear to everyone inside the room that he knew who Baron was. The thoughts of their previous encounters flashed through his mind, and he couldn’t stop himself from thinking about them. “Grandpa?” Jason called out to him calmly, not happy that he had refused to say anything at that critical moment when the young man’s life was at stake. “You are not saying anything, Grandpa. Baron spoke like he had something about you, that’s the reason why he refused to let the boy go.” “Yeah, I know. That lunatic.” Lord Walker grunted loudly, adjusting himself while a frown appeared on his face. It was obvious that he had something to say, but the silence that followed his last words showed that he didn’t know where to start. “Baron is a greedy fellow, but he would do anything to get back at me.” “Get back at you? For what exactly?” “For the death of his son, Jack.” Lord Walker retorted at once, leaving everyone more c
