Panic
“You are not going to watch him disrespect you in that manner and walk away just like that are you?” Sarah said few seconds after Jason made his way upwards with the eyes following him, but her husband had no response to give. “Philip? Can’t you hear me?” “Don’t worry babe, I will handle this.” “But he just walked out on you.” Sarah said insistently pointing at Jason who was almost out of sight. “I said I will handle it.” Philip said in a little harsh tone to his wife, making her to groan in frustration. Jason walked right to the apartment he shared with his wife and widened the door to the room which was halfway open. There on the bed was Isabella snoring away in her sleep under the influence of alcohol. The entire room reeked of the stench of whiskey and vodka. “Henry?” Jason whispered as he hurriedly moved over to the cradle at the corner of the room only to discover that his son was not there. “Where could he be?” He thought to himself, then he gently moved over

Henry?
“What the hell do you mean by that?” “Yes! You heard her, where is Henry?” Jason was furious and confused at the same time. He was looking for his son, only for his ex-wife to accuse him of knowing his whereabout. He clutched his fists and suppressed the anger he felt inside, then he exhaled almost all the air he had inhaled and said calmly. “You drink yourself to a stupor and sleep off leaving our son unattended and now you accuse me of being aware of his location. What kind of mother are you?” “I.I” Isabella wanted to lash out at Jason, but the guilt had crept into her mind couldn't let her finish her statement. She gnashed her teeth at him and growled. “Clearly you have nothing to say. How the hell do you call yourself a mother?” Jason turned immediately and left for Isabella’s apartment, leaving the two ladies speechless. He pushed the door, forcing it open, and walked to the corner where the cradle was kept and searched everywhere for his son. “Henry? Henry!” He

Composure
Just a look at Jason’s face was enough to tell that he was furious, but the people he was talking to called him a bluff. “It is so funny that you still have the guts to talk Jason, you will have to explain how my son disappeared from his crib.” Jason turned to Isabella just after she had spoken, then he scoffed and smiled at her. “You really don’t want to go this route I promise you.” “Hmm,” Isabella mumbled, rolling her eyes at Jason. “Own it up, man, you know where your son is, you just want to take away her son from her. This is you going against the Divorce Decree.” “And how did you know about that Chloe?” Jason asked with his eyes glaring at Chloe who bent her face almost immediately in order to avoid his eyes. “That doesn’t matter. You have kidnapped that child, and you must provide him.” Sara said almost immediately. Jason turned to Sandra, then he turned to Isabella who stamped her feet on the floor severally with a feigned annoyance. “There are surveillance

The Pacifier
Jason scoffed as soon as he heard the words that Morgan said, as though he already knew what the outcome of the call was going to be. He turned to look at the faces of the members of the Palmer family and noticed that they were hopefully confident that Morgan was going to save the day. “Yes, good day to you too. This is Morgan Palmer.” Morgan continued with an unfamiliar tone as though he wasn’t aware that the Chief of Police’s daughter was married to his son. “Mr Vin? Why am I getting the information that you arrested my sons, including your daughter?” Morgan listened to the explanation that the chief of Police was giving from the other end of the line, but he wasn’t happy about it. “Is that enough for you to arrest them? I can’t believe that you would even think of doing such, after everything my father did for you. Do I need to remind you that we supported you to get to that position?” Morgan reminded Mr. Vin with a hoarse tone. The Chief of Police continued to give som

Falsehood
“Wh…Wh.” Isabella stuttered. “Yes, what’s inside this room?” “That is none of your business, Jason, leave this place.” Chloe’s voice resounded from the background. Jason was quiet, and then he looked at the people who had obviously connived against him. “I want to know what is inside the room.” “Who do you think you are to make such a demand?” “Well, if there is nothing suspicious inside the room, don’t you think I can as well look at it, Philip?” “Nonsense! You have no right to make such a demand.” Philip barked angrily at Jason who chuckled indignantly at the situation at hand. “You should get going, Jason, I think working hours are over,” Sarah said with her eyes rolling at Jason in disdain. Jason was quiet, he looked at Sarah and then changed his gaze to his ex-wife who did everything she could to avoid maintaining a long eye contact with him. He sighed, and then gradually he lifted the pacifier in such a way that everyone could see it. “This is not a coincid

Lingered
Jacob stormed into the hallway and moved toward Jason with so much rage, that he attempted to strangle Jason, but he stood his ground and didn't even flinch. “Babe!” Chloe said and rushed to her husband, giving him a tight embrace with so much excitement written all over her. Sarah was not left out as well, she rushed to Jacob and started to look all over his body, to be sure that he was truly ok. “Did they hurt you? Where is Andrew?” She asked at the same time, but Jacob’s attention was all pointed at Jason who had a smirk on his face. “Welcome Jacob, you look…good,” Jason said after he had taken a short look at Jacob. “You think this is funny.” Jacob snarled in deep anger, but Jason ignored his reaction. “Where is Andrew?” Sarah asked looking behind to see if she was going to see her brother. “Andrew is home too,” Jacob announced with a low but angry tone. “Why is he still here by this time? Why did you allow him to remain here?” Jacob asked, turning her gaze to Isab

Extreme Measure
“What the hell are you talking about Jason? I can’t heat anything.” Isabella retorted with a smirk on her face, the feeling of guilt pricked her entire conscience. Offended by her words, Jason clenched his fists and breathed fury. “Are you trying to insinuate that I am crazy? Do I look like a child?” “Maybe,” Sarah said with a mocking expression. “No one heard anything except you Jason, I suggest you go check yourself in the hospital, that’s if you can afford the bills.” “Don’t worry dear, I will help him, I think I can spare a few dollars for his sake, even though he clearly doesn't deserve it,” Philip said in response to Isabella’s utterance. Jason ignored them and listened again, placing his left ear closer to the door as the sound he heard suddenly disappeared. “Did you hear anything?” Isabella questioned, her confidence rising all of a sudden. “It is very obvious that he didn’t hear anything Bella, can’t you see the way he is looking so confused.” Sarah retorted

Boomerang
“Henry!” He said aloud, as soon as he swung the door open, and saw the toddler on the bed crying, he had just woken up from sleep and was so frightened when he saw himself alone in an empty room with only a bed and a long table. Jason quickly moved to the bed and grabbed him, patting his bed gently while he rested him on his right shoulder. “I am so sorry son, so sorry you have to pass through this,” Jason said, still caressing his back gently with his right hand. The baby cooed in relief when he rested on his father’s shoulders, and gradually, the little teats in his eyes started to dry out. Morgan was the second person to walk into the room, and when he saw Jason carrying Henry, he turned to look at his family members who bent their heads in shame. “This is despicable,” he said softly to the hearing of everyone around. He looked at his sister with glances of disproval and disappointment at her action. When he was certain that his son was calm, and after checking to see i

The Wager
Those words got to Philip, and he would have loved to pounce on Jason immediately. He walked up to Jason who stood beside the staircase waiting for him and gave him a stern look. “You really think so highly of yourself, huh?” “Well, you never can tell, I could be just more than you ever imagined.” Jason retorted with a smirk, but his words only made Philip scoff, and he looked down on him with so much disdain. “You made me look like a fool before my father-in-law,” Philip said in annoyance, but Jason chose not to say anything at that moment, he only maintained a smile that he didn't want to discard. “You really think this is funny, you waltz in here and think you can turn us against each other, do you know who I am?” Jason looked at Philip from the crown of his hair to the sole of his shoes, but he said nothing, only his smile showed that he was having fun. “Didn’t you hear me, boy? I asked a question.” Philip barked again, and this time, he drew closer to Jason as their f

Blackwell Restaurant
Feeling really famished, Jason decided to go grab something to eat, it was almost night, and he hadn’t had anything to eat. “Where do I go from here?” He asked himself, standing right in front of the gigantic gate of the Palmer residence, his stomach was beginning to rumble, and he yawned at different intervals, with his left hand covering his mouth. “I really need to eat something, or else I lose my breath.” He said to himself, and just as he had wanted to walk toward the road, his eyes caught sight of his shirt, causing him to halt. “There is no way I am going out this way.” Jason sighed, and then he quickly moved over to the cabin behind the lake, he pushed the door and went inside. A few minutes later, he walked out of the cabin, putting on a jacket over the shirt, the same Jacket that was the only thing he was allowed to move out of the mansion with the very day he caught Isabella with his mansion. He walked faintly toward the road, and luckily for him, he sighte
