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
“Well, What I am trying to say is that. Patrick is your stepbrother. He is Lovina’s son.” He said.Jason felt the air had been sucked out of the room, “Stepbrother.” He asked.He looked between His father and Patrick, he could see the smile playing on both lips. “I didn’t know Lovina had a son.” He blurted outMr. Benjamin nods, his expression serious but gentle. He remembered disagreeing with his son the last time he introduced Patrick’s mother to him, so he didn’t know how Jason would react.He wasn’t sad, he had agreed with his father’s decision.“Yes, she had a son. He just returned, and he is through with his studies. I wanted you two to meet properly.” Mr. Benjamin replied firmly.Jason turned towards Patrick, he noticed how he looked at him disdainfully. “ You are my stepbrother. I was not expecting it.” “Yes, we are stepbrothers,” Patrick retorted.Mr. Benjamin inhales. “I was hoping you and Patrick could get to know each other. We are family now and we must stick together.”
The plane landed smoothly in Miami, and Jason stepped out of the airport, taking a moment to savour the warm, humid air that was so different and cool,Jason took a deep breath, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation for the day ahead.A black Ford SUV awaited Jason and Loki, the driver standing with a polite smile. “Mr. Lewis, Welcome to Miami,” he greeted, opening the door for Jason with his head bent further “Thank you,” Jason said, as he slid into the back seat and settled in comfortably. The driver closed the door and moved swiftly into the driver’s seat, he was joined by Loki Spencer. Starting the engine and merging into the light morning traffic.As they drove through the city, Jason watched the scenery change from the bustling downtown area to the more serene coastal roads, palm trees lined the streets, swaying gently in the breeze.“Young Master, You have a call from Master,” Loki said politely, as he handed Jason the iPad.Jason picks up the call, turning on the vi
Jason kept a distance, his eyes still glued to the group of men. He watched as they turned into a quiet part of the hotel. “What should I do, I need to save the lady.” His mind racing towards the possibilities, he suspected the lady dropped the ring on purpose.Jason thought of a way to intervene without putting the lady or himself in danger. He scanned the area they took and there weren’t any security personnel in that direction, Jason moved forward, and he followed slowly.He didn’t know what to say but had his eyes glued at the people. They moved towards a place that looked like a conference room. The lady saw it as an opportunity to escape. Due to the number of people there, the men lost focus.“Where is she,” one of them whispers to the others.Their eyes ogled around the room in search of the lady they came down with, but she was nowhere to be found. Jason saw the lady take another route and escape from the men. His heart raced as he watched the woman bolt out of the hotel, he
Patrick moved slowly, he was about to enter Jason’s office when Elena saw him, she hurriedly rushed and stood in front of him. She showed no atom of fear in her, even if she knew her job would be at risk. She was trying to protect her boss’s office.“What do you think you are doing?” Patrick said.He stared at her from top to bottom back to the top again. He glared at her in contempt.‘Sir, I’m sorry. You can’t go inside the office. Master Jason, is not around and no one is allowed to enter until he returns.” She said confidently and firmly.Elena grips the door handle tightly while maintaining her ground on her words.“Do you know who I am and what I can do to you?” Patrick said, trying to scare Elena.“Sir, I know who you are. But you still can’t go inside.” She said confidently “Why, Jason is my brother and the building belongs to our father. So, why can’t I access his office when he isn’t around.” Patrick questioned, he was boiling in inner rage. He clenched his fist and was re
“Welcome To Siva Enterprise, Mr. Lewis,” she said.“Thank you,” he replied.Jason shook hands firmly with Sampson Enfield and his daughter, Lisa. And they introduced themselves to him.“Please, have a seat,” Sampson said calmly.Jason maintained a mild expression, while he stared at the people seated before him. There was a moment of silence between them.Sampson cleared his throat which caught Jason’s attention. “Mr Lewis, I understand you might be thinking a lot now about the meeting. But, my family and I have decided to sign the contract with your company after what you did for us. There is no need to review any details, if you can save my daughter without knowing her, I believe you can save the business with your life.” He said firmly.He paused and continued “You are not only a gentleman but you are also a hero. We don’t know what we would have done without you, and we don’t know if this meeting would have taken place today, if not for your actions last night.” He said with his
“Thank you, Patrick,” Jason said. He noticed the expression on Patrick’s face and one could tell that his word was not from his heart. Mr. Benjamin felt a sense of excitement coursing through his veins. He continues to shower Jason with praise and love. “I would be going to my office, Father,” Jason said, as he stood up and took a bow before moving out of the office. Jason sat behind his desk, he drew a deep breath. Before turning on his laptop. He skimmed through the file on his desk while waiting for his laptop to boot. His gaze fell on the reports and he noticed there was a mistake on it. He reached out to the intercom and dialled Elena’s number. “Please, come to my office,” he said. Within a few moments, Elena was standing before Jason. She felt nervous and her gaze was a bit lowered. “Elena, I noticed some errors on this file. Who amongst you made this report.” He abruptly questioned. Elena furrowed her brow while staring at the file, she exhaled deeply. “Sir, the report w
