Marcus dropped to the sofa chair in front of him; he looked a bit worn out and tired from all the paparazzi that had been going on with Jason and him trying to be HR good friends. If left to Marcus, he would have loved to overlook what has been done to him and leave a happy life. His phone chimed; Marcus picked it up and saw an envelope. "Work done, boss." Marcus nodded and dropped the phone back to the table in front of him. He got up and strolled towards the wine shelf in front of him. He grabbed a bottle of whisky and sat down to drink. His mind went back to Jason and how he had reacted when they left the Carter mansion."Was he hiding something?" He said slowly as the hot flavour of the whisky burnt his tongue. Marcus shrugged a little and sighed. After the death of his father, Marcus had done nothing but abstain himself from the company. But since they were now done with education, it was time he resume his work as the CEO of the company his father left behind for hi

"What about our visitor? Are you making him comfortable?" Jason looked at Zeek. "Sniper?" He said immediately looking back. "Who do you think I was talking about?" Jason replied. "Yeah, he is fine. I guess Henry stopped bothering about him. He is as good as dead if he ever catches him." "He wanted to tell me something." Jason looked at Zeek. "I believe so." Zeek replied, walking towards the exit. He stopped and looked back. "And have you decided who it is going to be?" "Zeek, I am not bothered about that right now. Marcus poses a threat to everything I am trying to fight against and build. I need to know if I can trust him. For now, Irene and Alessia are not really what I need to concentrate on. Get me a sniper." Zeek nodded and walked away. Jason quickly took his phone and messaged Alessai asking if she got home. In the meanwhile, he brought out an old school picture that he and Marcus took. Jason looked at it and wondered if he should be concerned about his only o

Jason looked at Marcus and back at the entrance with Alessia and Irene standing at the front door. "This is about to get really awkward." Jason muttered under his breath as the barman brought his whisky and Marcus a drink. "Jason." Alessia sprinted towards him, making Irene give a funny face that made Marcus almost laugh. "Make sure she doesn't sit near me." Jason said immediately, looking at Marcus, who was supposed to be his friend.But Marcus got distracted when a message entered his phone from Henry Carter. Jason noticed the name flashed across the screen of the phone, but Marcus was fast enough to pick it up. "I need to receive this," he said, walking out of the barroom. Jason's countenance changed; he knew Marcus was hiding something, and he wasn't sure if it was right for him to ask who he was talking to. Alessia walked closer to him and put her arms around his neck. "You can't do that here, Alessia. This is a bar. I don't want any unnecessary attraction." Jason said, remov

Immediately after Marcus left the bar lounge, he made a call. "I'm on my way. Can you tell me where to meet?" Ethan's voice boomed with joy, "Finally. We can now agree on something." "Just give me your location and don't even think of wasting my time." Marcus said with frustration. Ethan sent him his location while Marcus drove to meet him. His mind was not settled, wondering why his father could do something as grave as taking a man's life. All of this was a mystery to him, and he was just finding out about his father's skeleton. The thought of still telling Jason gnawed at him, but then he knew Jason was all out for blood.As he parked his car right in front of Ethan's mansion, Marcus sighed slowly, rubbing his temple before he walked towards the entrance. He pressed the alarm button, and he was immediately replied to. A maid had the door opened to an opulent mansion, showing that the Mathews were also a big bag in the society. Marcus walked in with a grumpy face as his eyes

Jason looked at Mr Nicholas, " Are you being serious right now? What is the meaning of this?" He asked looking a bit knocked off. Mr Nicholas saw the look in his eyes and immediately got off from his seat. He rushed towards Jason. " What were you expecting, Mr Carter? Dont tell me you grandfather didn't leave you a note?" He said looking at him But Jason knew he was right. " Irene and Alessia are not who you think they actually are. Thier family runs a business long wait back and they are one of the top leaders in the business world. We have been wanting to d business with them for a long time but with you on board, I think that will be possible." Mr Nicholas said looking at Jason and back at the board of directors who didn't understand what was going on. Jason nodded. He said nothing but simply walked over to his seat to listen to the business proposal. J and K were one of the biggest corporations in the world, and a merger between them would be a game-changer. Jason's mind was r
