Philip shook his head intermittently in response. “Yes, He is the new owner. You just handed over the company to him.” Philip Konsa said firmly.Nathan furrowed his brow while trying to absorb his words, “What? How did I not see that coming? How could this happen without my knowledge?” Nathan said with his face etched with disappointment and frustration.Nathan still couldn’t believe his eyes, he wanted an explanation from Jason. “What are you doing here?” He questioned.Jason inhales and exhales sharply while maintaining a stern expression. “I am the new owner of Lewis Steel, you just signed it. I am the new president Uncle Nathan, you are no longer the president.” Jason said softly.The board members exchanged glances when they heard the new investor was Jason Lewis. Nathan narrowed his eyes at him in contempt, he angrily rolled his hand at his hair. He couldn’t believe he just signed off his inheritance to Jason.“You? How could you do this to me, Jason? We are family.” Nathan’s
James frowned his brow, “It has everything to do with you. You own the accounts and we have evidence against you. You and Sophia Clark were part of this.” Jason uttered, he was disappointed in his uncle.Jason’s patience was wearing thin, he wouldn’t want to waste more time having such conversations with his uncle. When he knew he had evidence against him.“Henry Hector and Julia James, can you both step forward.”The two were the only people who voted for Nathan earlier. They both stared at each other with their hearts pounding in shock. They stepped out as instructed and stood a few miles away from Jason.Henry had already messed himself up, his pants were wet and had dropped some irritating liquid on the floor.Jason smiled when he saw how they were trembling in fear, “I want you both to tell the truth, tell the others everything you know about your shitty business and how you Syphon company’s funds. You might get a lesser jail sentence if you confess now.” Jason said to them.Henr
“Congratulations sir,” Elena said with her voice barely above a whisper.“Thank you, Elena,” Jason replied softly.Elena moved back and forth at her boss’s office while trying to arrange the documents in the drawer. She had words in her mind that she would want to tell Jason but she was scared of how he would react.She continued to stare at him, Until Jason’s gaze met with her, she shyly moved away from his eyes.“Elena, is there anything you wish to say,” Jason asked.She drew a deep breath, she was struggling with her words inside, and she didn’t know how to start. Elena nervously scratched her hair. “Young master, I….I.. want..” she sputtered.Jason stopped what he was doing and had his eyes fixed on her, “Elena, you don’t need to rush your words. You need to calm down and tell me what’s on your mind.” He said softly.He grasped she was still not comfortable around him, Jason kept a mild expression while staring at her. Elena breathed heavily. “I want to ask you if I could retur
Elena nodded her head, Jason unhooked the seatbelt and stepped out of the car, She turned to see what was set to happen.She knew he was trained by her father, but it was the first time she would witness him in physical combat with the gang of five. Elena had doubts in her mind, she had to say some silent prayers and took her phone, she didn’t hesitate to call Loki.Meanwhile, Jason moved forward, stepping away from the car, He maintained a casual outlook.The gang chuckled uncontrollably when they saw him, Cedric being the gang leader, ambled forward. He stares at Jason sardonically.“Wow, You came alone. I know you would take the route, perfect timing.” He sneered, Jason wasn’t moved or bothered by the men standing in front of him. This got Cedric a bit surprised.“Do you think you can handle the five of us, we are not just some ordinary office workers but we are trained martial artists.” He said sarcastically.“We can give you time to think about it, you either surrender and allow
The cold gleam of a knife appeared in his hand, pressing against her neck. Elena’s eyes widened in fear, her breath hitching while she struggled with the iron grip.“Let go of her, I want you to let her go now,” Jason warned, his voice echoing.Cedric sneered, his eyes darting between his fallen men and Jason. “What if I don’t let go, what would you do? Do you think you can just walk away after what you did? Never, you either surrender or I kill her.” He said with his voice brimming with anger.Elena’s eyes widened in shock and fear, her heart was pounding fast in fear and uncertainty.“Please, help me. I don't want to die.” She said, Jason inhaled and exhaled, he felt the weight of the situation coursing through his veins. He assessed the situation, he knew he had to act quickly and decisively. He locked eyes with Elena while giving her a subtle wink. Giving her a silent signal, he has seen her father give to her during her self-defence training. Elena furrowed her face with und
Jason and the police rushed towards the location as expected, the police had parked at a distance to avoid being noticed. They divided themselves and had the place surrounding them. “I will go with him, you will wait and come when I give a signal,” Jason said with an authoritative tone.“But, Mr. Lewis. You don’t know if they came with more men. What if something happens to you,” The chief police officer said with concern.Jason stared at him closely, he grasped what the officer was trying to say. He could perceive his inner spirit wanted him to go only with Cedric, “I will go with him, just keep your eyes open on my signal.” He said, with his voice barely above a whisper.The Chief police officer sighs deeply. Jason dragged Cedric who was handcuffed towards the entrance of the place. “Let’s go, I want to see your master. He made a mistake sending a loser like you to confront me.” He said with his eyes blazing in fury.Meanwhile, Johnson Camino and Lawrence Nelson were inside with
Jason walked into his father’s mansion with Elena, Mr. Benjamin invited his son over to spend time with him and also informed him he had a surprise for him. He found his father seated at the long, elegant dining table. Mr. Benjamin beamed when he saw his son, Jason. A lady was warmly seated to his right, her smile warm and inviting, Jason noticed the tension and nervousness in her eyes. She was in her early forties, her dark hair was styled in soft waves, and she wore a sophisticated dress that accentuated her graceful figure. “Come on, son. I have been waiting for you. I am glad you could make it.” Mr. Benjamin said, moving to embrace his son. Jason returned the hug, but he felt uncomfortable with the lady who was seated beside his father. “Of course, Dad. Thank you for inviting us.” He said. “Good morning, Master Benjamin,” Elena said. Mr. Benjamin didn’t only invite his son but he instructed his son to come with Elena, he didn’t state the reason but told him it was for a
They both perceived footsteps coming towards them, so they had to switch the conversation and were engrossed in laughter. The door swung open, and Mr. Benjamin walked into the room and found Lovina and her son, Patrick. “What are you two discussing about? Seems like I am missing out on something good.” He said with a smile.Patrick and his mother, Lovina beamed at each other, while Patrick mouthed. “No, Dad. You came at the right time.” Patrick said.Mr. Benjamin stared at Lovina, who got up where she was seated and moved closer to him.“Patrick, how was your trip? Have you gotten a chance to meet with your stepbrother, Jason?”“My trip was fine, I just got home now and I haven’t met him,” he replied with a smile playing across his lips.Mr. Benjamin nodded his head slowly. “Okay, don’t worry. You will get to meet with him tomorrow at the office.” “Hope you are ready to take part in the family business,” he questioned, Patrick drifted his gaze to his mother, who shook her head, be
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
