"What is the plan?" A voice asked right behind Ethan. Ethan looked back and saw it was Fiona. "I can't have Jason tearing down the family. Everyone wants his head on a spike," she said with venom and loomed towards the podium where Jason stood addressing the students. Ethan grinned, "I am in now. It is only a matter of time before we bring Jason to his knees." "In?" Fiona looked at Ethan's face. "In on what?" "The inner circle," he replied, looking at her face. "The circus." "Is that supposed to mean something to me?" Fiona raised an eyebrow. "It doesn't matter. All that matters is that we are bringing Jason to his knees," Ethan replied. "Well, you are not telling me anything. How do you plan on doing that?" Fiona folded her hands. "I need to head my grandfather's company. Jason is standing in the way of that, and not to mention my greedy uncle, who wants a bit too." " You mean, Henry?" Ethan asked. " Yes, after Jason is gone then I need to make him gone too. He is the only

"What was that about?" Marcus looked at Jason as they walked into his mansion. "What?" Jason asked, turning to meet his anxious gaze. "Don't tell me you don't understand what I mean. Irene and Alessia. What is the drift between the three of you?" Marcus replied. "Nothing." Jason said slowly, feeling a little tired. He closed his eyes, and by the time he had them opened, Marcus was still staring at him. "Nothing. I don't love or feel emotionally attached to either of them." Jason replied, but Marcus's gaze made him squish on the chair he sat on. "Well, I might have been into Irene when I was at my weakest." Jason said barely above his voice. "She was right after all." Marcus looked at him. "Right? About what?" "The girl was there for you when you were at your weakest." "There for me, not helping me with my financial crises. She was just a shoulder to rest on." Jason said, clearing the air. "Yeah, I feel you. But don't you think she is reading more meaning into it? Do yo

Eric walked in with pride, staring at everyone at their seat. "I still wondered why you all decided to stick to this delinquent." He said slowly, looking at Jason. "You all have known me for how long now? Years, months... I practically know how Thomas Carter built up this empire after his death." He said, tapping the chair in front of him. "I find it hard and disturbing to see that you are quick to give Jason the seat that belongs to me." Jason looked at him and laughed, "And who knew you also had hidden claws?" He jested. "To think I believed you could be the man I looked up to was disheartening when I found out that you were a son to Thomas Carter." Jason walked away from the door towards the seat in front of them all. "I wonder how many there are of us out there." There was a slight laughter in the room, making Eric's face harden the more. "Enough of this bickering!" Henry snapped, and there was silence once more. "Have you seen the news? You made a fool of the family by

"Where are we going?" Marcus asked each time as Jason increased his speed each time he remembered the death of his grandfather. He also had a note that Thomas had written and given to him before his death. "You need to slow down, buddy, or you are going to get us killed." Marcus Warner holding the dashboard. Still Jason was quiet as he drove across the dusty floors. "Is this about Henry?" Marcus broke the silence after a long time again."You won, so I don't see any reason why you need to be worked up over this." "I need to know who killed him. I need to know what my grandfather was trying to tell me before his death." Jason finally spoke up. "Then you should take it easy, man. You can't do a thing if you are dead." Marcus warned Jason pulled over in front of the gigantic hospital. "We are here." He said, removing his seat belt with a sigh. Jason could remember the last and dying look on Thomas Carter's face. He had been deprived of seeing him, but all he had was the cracked sa

Jason got down from the car and was surprised to see Alessia standing in front of him holding the back of her neck. "Have you been stalking me?" he asked, staring at her. He was having a migraine as a result of the head bath. "I won't exactly call that stalking. I was just trying to make sure you are safe. Nothing more," Alessia replied. Jason stared at her, not sure of what to say. His grandfather's will had made it known he had to get married to either one of the sisters, but looking at Alessia, he could see right through her. To Jason, she was another Linda who was after material things, but he needed to put her loyalty to the test. "Are you alright?" Jason asked, putting on a show as he moved closer to her. He saw she had a scratch on her body, and she was bleeding. Jason took out his phone and called a mechanic to come and tow his car and that of Alessia to an auto mechanic. "Why don't we go to somewhere we can get you cleaned up?" Jason looked at Alessia's, who was surp
