Nathan scratched his hair in frustration, his plan just failed and he sat contemplating what to do next. The room was filled with smoke as both Nathan and Sophia continued to puff out smoke from their mouths.He drew a deep breath while maintaining eye contact with Sophia and an evil smirk formed immediately by the side of his lips.Sophia blinked her eyelid twice to grasp the expression on his face. “What is it?” She asked she was eager to know what he had in mind.Nathan drew close to Sophia and he kept the cigar on a steel bowl in front of them. “What if we hire an assassin to do the job for us.”“Do what Job,” Sophia responded, her face etched with confusion.He inhaled and exhaled softly as he tried to explain his plan to his partner. “What if we get an assassin to kidnap my brother Benjamin and we demand the leather-bound document in return as ransom? Jason would do anything just to make sure his father is safe and alright, he would never allow any harm to come to his father.” H
Elena glanced around and she felt someone was with her, but she was all alone in the room. Her heart was intertwined with fear and worries. She was lost in deep thought and contemplating on what to do, “Should I inform my Dad about this or should I tell Master Jason.” She asked herself.Elena yanked the thought from her mind and quickly grabbed her phone and dialled the number which sent the message, she dialled twice but it was unreachable. She sighed in disappointment and frustration throwing the phone on the bed while grabbing her laptop to continue the work she was doing.***********Jason was in his office his hands were tapping repeatedly on the keyboard of his laptop, while he was engrossed in his work, his phone rang out. The ringing of his phone aroused his attention and he tried to deduce who it was. His gaze fell on his phone screen and Zachary was boldly written on the screen.Jason quickly grabbed the phone but before he could pick the call ended. He dialled the number
“Here, I have been receiving threatening messages from this number and I am scared. This is the third time I have received the message in a day.” She said with her voice barely above a whisper.Jason stared at her, he inhaled softly. “Can I see the message?” He asked.Elena handed him her phone, and Jason grabbed the phone with his eyes fixated on the message. He scrolled down as he continued to read each message carefully.“When did you start receiving such messages,” Jason asked calmly while maintaining his gaze on her.She thought for a while before she responded, “I started receiving it after the incident at my place.” She responded.“Why have you kept it to yourself?” He inquired.Elena inhaled deeply, “I was scared, and I didn’t want to bother you.” “You don’t want to bother me, Elena. What if something bad had happened to you.” He said. Jason leaned forward. “Elena, We are friends and you can talk to me if you have a problem, stop hiding things from me.” He uttered with his v
Jason shook his head slowly, he leaned further with his hands placed above the desk. “I wished to move to the Second Estate,” He said calmly.Mr. Benjamin hoisted his head to stare at his son, Jason kept a serious face. He would have gone there but he wished to inform his father first before leaving the house.“Why son, are you running away from me? Did anything happen?” His father asked with his face etched with worries and curiosity.“No Dad, I just wished to move out. I will always come around to check up on you. I want to stay at a place where I would be able to monitor all the business.” He replied.His father was not satisfied with his response, he could perceive something was wrong but would not stand in his son’s way if he refused to spill it out, aside from that he believes his son is old enough to take care of himself and his leaving might be because he wants some privacy.Jason gazed at his father’s face, he could see the worries just like every father who loved his son wo
“Have you shown this footage to my father?” He asked with his voice brimming with anger.They both glance at each other before shifting their gazes to their master, Loki and the guard shake their heads and mouthed simultaneously. “NO, Young Master.” Jason shook his head in understanding, he stopped the video. While maintaining his gaze at the guards. He kept a serious demeanour, with his heart pounding fast in frustration and disappointment.“How could Uncle Nathan do something like this? Was that why he returned from London and what is he looking for? Was He behind the first incident?” He asked himself. His mind was running through several conflicting thoughts that demanded an immediate explanation.“Young master,” Loki called, bringing him out of her reveries.Jason inhales and exhales deeply, “I want the video sent to my email, and I don’t want this video to get to my Dad. I will handle it myself, I want you two to keep an ear on the ground and find out if any of the servants ha
He cleared his throat so he would be audible, while his gaze was fixed on his servants. “ I want to thank every one of you for being here today.” He said with gratitude.He continues with a small smile curled on his lips. “This mansion is not just a house but a home for all of us, it will only be as good as the people who keep it running. I have selected each of you because I believe in your abilities and trust in your dedication.” He said with his voice barely above a whisper.Jason inhales and exhales softly while looking around the room and making eye contact with several of his staff members. “I want you all to know that I value your work and commitment. Together, we will make this mansion a place of comfort, security, and excellence. If there is anything you need or you have any concerns, my door is always open for you to talk to me.”The staff exchanged glances at each other, and a murmur of appreciation rippled through the room. Jason felt a surge of excitement and beamed at hi
Robert walked into Jason’s office, he had his head bent in respect as he greeted his master who returned the greetings with a warm smile.“Young master, I have found some important information regarding the threatening messages Elena has been receiving,” Robert uttered calmly.Jason furrowed his brow and leaned further as he awaited Robert to spill more words about the person. He had been concerned about Elena’s safety even since the anonymous threat started. Despite the police effort to identify the culprit, they had remained elusive. Jason moved his work aside while maintaining eye contact with Robert. “What have you found?” He asked with urgency.Robert moved closer with a dossier in his hand which he placed gently before his Master. “After conducting a thorough investigation and utilising some of our discreet resources, we have identified the individual responsible.”Jason listened intently before opening the dossier, his eyes scanning the content slowly. There were photographs,
Jason felt a surge of frustration within him as he was fuming in anger. “You have caused my friend a lot of pain and now you are going to answer for it,” Jason said firmly, with his eyes blazing in fury.Johnson managed to raise his head to look at Jason, he was groaning in deep pain. He didn’t feel any atom of shame or regret for his actions towards Elena.“I lost my job because of you and that stupid girl called Elena,” The guard moved towards Johnson and was about to unleash another punch on him but Jason stopped him. Johnson gave him an evil look, “What are you planning on doing? Do you want to hit me, come on. Go ahead, hit me why did you stop, hit me. No matter how hard you hit me, you can’t break me.” He sneered at him.Jason narrowed his eyes at him with a serious demeanour, “I am not here to break you or hit you. I want to know the reason why you have always been against her, what did she do that you hate her so much.” Jason questioned.Johnson smirks, “Why do you care? Sh
