“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
Jason had Philip seated before him with another representative from his company, they were all seated as they waited to know the reason why Jason called them.Philip didn’t hesitate to come when he received Jason’s call, he knew it was for a good reason and aside from that he owed Jason a huge favour for saving his life.Jason cleared his throat while staring at the two people seated before him, he instructed Philip to come with a competent female staff for the task ahead. “Great healer, I came immediately after I saw your message,” Philip said while referring to Jason as a healer after what occurred some months ago.“Here is Angela, she is my assistant manager.” He said introducing Her to Jason.Jason shook hands with her and unleashed a soft smile on his face. Angela returned the smile before sitting down to listen to what the great healer had got to spill. “You are welcome, Angela.”“Thank you, sir.” She retorted.She was so eager to hear from him, after hearing a lot about him.
The following week, Philip Konsa and Angela had their flight booked and arrived in London for the meeting with Lewis Steel.They walked into the conference room of Lewis Steel cooperation, their presence commanding attention. They sat across Nathan Lewis beside him were a few board members, all of whom wore an expression of thinly veiled desperation.“Good morning, Mr. Nathan Lewis.” Philip Konsa extended his hand with a warm smile across his face.“Good morning, Mr. Philip Konsa,” Nathan said, reciprocating the hand and they shook hands firmly while returning the smile.Philip Konsa and Nathan did the needful, they introduced their colleagues before they sat down to discuss the reason for the meeting.“Mr. Konsa, I am glad you could make it,” Nathan uttered firmly while faking a smile.Philip nodded his head slightly and leaned further, he cleared his throat with his gaze steady and readable. He whispered to Angela and she brought forth the document of the contract that had been dr
Mr. Benjamin held his son’s hand and lifted it as a sign of victory. The court attendant echoed that each of the family has mixed feelings coursing through their veins.Detective William moved towards Jason. “Congratulations, you have finally got justice.” He said politely.“Thank you, Detective William.” He replied.Jason and his father stepped out of the courtroom, and the media team rushed towards him, bombarding him with several questions; he didn’t fail to give them an answer to their questions.~~~~~~~~Jason called for a small gathering at his mansion with his friends. Oscar Morgan, Loki, Elena, Nora and Zachary Reed were all present.It was a small get-together which he organised to thank his friends for their support in achieving his goals. Each one of them played a role in his life.The big polished mahogany table was filled with a variety of food and drinks. He got up and clinked the glass, calling their attention.“I want to thank every one of you for your support. It was
It was the day of the court hearing, the courtroom was buzzed with a mix of anticipation and tension. The air was thick with the weight of what was about to unfold.James Paterson, Lovina, Kelly Peters, and Jonathan were all standing behind the defendant’s table, their faces pale and hands clasped tightly together.Jason was seated with his father, Mr. Benjamin Lewis, and a few family members and friends were all around to witness the event of the day.The judge, an imposing figure, with a stern expression, called the court to order. They were asked to stand up. They rose to their feet with their heart pounding; each of them had mixed feelings boiling within them. James Paterson continues to stare at Jason with the side of his eyes. The hatred was still building within him; if he was allowed to act, he would kill Jason before going to prison.He couldn’t believe he had been defeated by the same person twice. Lovina hasn’t uttered a word since her arrest; the death of her son was sti
It’s been a week since the incident, and Jason and his father have gone back to normal. Jason was faced with more tasks in the office; he has been working hard and attending business meetings, which he has skipped with Clients. Life at the office was becoming more hectic by the day; the stock of the company continued to skyrocket higher, making the company maintain its top spot in the business world.Jason won several awards and endorsement deals with two different companies. His name becomes the talk of the town. His image is shown in some signposts.After several months of setbacks and unweaving determination, the day has finally arrived when Jason would have to unveil his project.He stood beside the restaurant, “Lewis Savour and Spice.” His heart swelled in pride as he took sight of the elegant facade, the chic signage gleaming in the afternoon sun. The air buzzed with excitement as guests from different places began to arrive and a red carpet at the entrance added a touch of gla
Kelly Peters and James Paterson both looked worried; the news about Patrick’s death had spread across the city like wildfire while Lovina survived the shot and was taken to the hospital; in some days, the court would decide her fate. James paced back and forth at a slow pace in the room; they were thinking of what to do while Jonathan sat down with his gaze facing downward. His eyes have swallowed after crying. He couldn’t believe Lovina would do such, and he blamed her for being careless. “What do we do, we can’t sit here all day doing nothing,” James said, with his voice tingling with sadness.“What do you expect us to do, you know what happened. I think we should lay low for the time being. We can’t tell what’s going on out there.” Kelly uttered with his voice barely above a whisper.“Where is Jez, why is he not here?” James asked, with a gaze at his uncle.“I don’t know, he is supposed to be here before now,” Kelly replied, staring at his wristwatch.James Paterson moved towar
The following morning, Lovina was worried; she hadn’t heard from Zander. His line had been unavailable; she couldn’t fathom what was happening. No news from Christian Rafael and Zander.Lovina was more determined to end everything. She woke up early checking through her phone to hear the news about Jason being dead, but there was none. She tried calling Zander but he wasn’t picking up. Her patience wearing thin.She took the bottles of poison she had kept for a long time, knowing Mr. Benjamin always likes having coffee every morning before stepping out. She thought about serving him his coffee by adding a little potion to it. Lovina was through with the mixture; she kept a determined face; she heard footsteps coming, and immediately, she inserted a little potion, after which she shook the mug of coffee to mix with the liquid. “Mom, what are you doing?” Patrick questioned.Lovina froze in shock, her hands trembling in fear of being caught by her son. She struggled with her words as
That night, Mr. Benjamin couldn’t come to terms with sleep. He was restless, his mind racing through several conflicting thoughts. He was still waiting for a response from the police, but nothing had been found. He paused back and forth in his study room with one of his hands clasped behind his back and the other hand he used to hold the wine glass.“Who could have done this to my son? Why will he always have to face difficulties.” He questioned inwardly. He sipped from his wine glass, consuming the liquid content slowly. He perceived a subtle knock on the door and turned his gaze to deduce who it was.When the door creaked open, Robert ambled inside with a saddened demeanor. He tilted his head while standing before Mr. Benjamin.“What is it? Did you find anything?” He questioned with his face etched with worries.Robert sighed softly, as he nodded negatively. “No, Master. We were unable to get anything,” he responded. Mr. Benjamin felt a surge of frustration coursing through his
The doctor darting his gaze from one man to another, he exhales letting air out of his mouth. “Can you please calm down? I have two news for you. Which will you want to hear first? The good news or the bad news.” He abruptly questioned.“The good news.” Mr. Benjamin said.“The bad news,” Zachary said.Mr Benjamin stared at him with his brow furrowed. “Which one, good or bad?” The doctor asked again.“The good news please.” The doctor adjusted his white gown, “The good news is that your son is alive. But the bad news is that he is in a coma and he lost a lot of blood. We are happy we were able to revive him and get blood that matches his own. His recovery will depend on him.” The doctor uttered Calmly.Mr. Benjamin felt a surge of sorrow and sadness within him; his face was lit up knowing his son was alive, but another part of his heart was pounding in fear and pain hearing his son was in a coma. “Doctor, can we see him?” Oscar Morgan muttered calmly.“No, you can’t see him. We ha
Jason was on his way home after a successful mission, before he left the city he visited Ben to thank him for his support, he also met with the head of police who thanked him for helping the girls. He was sitting down at the back of the Range Rover with his eyes closed. While Loki was seated in the co-driver seat, he inhaled softly feeling the air of the city he grew up in. The car window was opened, as they drove home.They met with serious traffic along the way, and Jason leaned backwards. His face was etched with excitement as he thought about what happened in Venice, knowing he was able to help rescue Elena and Nora. While they were still stuck in traffic, it was unbeknownst to Jason and the others that a motorcycle had been trailing behind them since the airport. The motorcyclist found the job easy when he noticed the window was open, he pulled out his gun from his jacket slowing down his pace. Immediately he came close to the window and pulled the trigger twice at Jason. Lo
Christian Rafael came to a halt when the direction he took led him to a room where he couldn’t escape. He turned his back to see Jason standing with a stern face, his face as scary as ever. Christian hands were trembling in fear, each step Jason took sent a quiver down his spine.He threw a punch at Jason who didn’t hesitate to dodge his arms, Jason's eyes were blazing with fury. His face turned red, he took a few steps forward.“Please, don’t harm me. I am sorry for everything I said earlier, it was a slip of the tongue. Please, Forgive me. I will help you do whatever you want even if it means testifying against Lovina.” Christian uttered with a trembling Voice.Jason didn’t listen to his plea, he knew how corny Christian Rafael was, he matched forward as he sent his right hand towards Christian’s jaw. He added another punch with his second hand, sending Christian staggering backwards, as the document fell from his hands.His gaze fell on a piece of wood that was standing beside the
