Both stared at each other with their mind racing mixed with confusion and disbelief. Jason had his hand placed before his nose after they were hit by a foul odour which made Jason’s stomach churn with dread. He moved towards the man who was lying in a pool of his blood. Jason clenched his jaw in anger. It was clear he had been dead for some time.“He is dead, Master,” Loki said with his voice filled with confusion.Jason shook his head intermittently, he moved towards the door. “We need to call the police,” Jason said.Jason and Loki called the police team immediately and it took them a few minutes before they arrived with an ambulance.He stood back, trying not to disturb the scene any further. Jason was engrossed in thought, “Who killed him and why? Was this connected to Elena’s kidnapping, who could be behind this and what is their motive?” Jason said to himself.Jason and Loki watched as the police secured the scene, yellow tape was used to cover the entrance and not allow people
Jason moved towards the drawer, his hands were covered with a glove already to avoid leaving his fingerprint. Knowing he had limited time to do his search, Jason moved fast, he began searching through the clutter, looking for anything that might provide a clue about Frederico’s associate or his motive.He carefully searched through the drawer, overturning papers and examining a few pieces of furniture. He glanced at his watch, he knew his time was ticking and he needed to be fast. Jason was more determined and focused to find anything that could shed light and lead him to know the person behind what happened to Elena.“Where could this be? How come the house seems empty? Could it be that he wasn’t involved or did the police find anything?” He said to himself.Jason shook his head, he moved towards the desk in the living room. He checked through the desk and found a small card. He stared at the car and placed it into his jacket. He was about to go into the room when he heard a sudden
Lovina had just finished talking to someone on the phone when she heard a soft knock on her door. She turned to deduce who it was. Her eyes fell on her son Patrick, his eyes were suspiciously glued to his mother.“Mother, we need to talk,” Patrick said with his voice barely above a whisper.Lovina signalled him to come inside, which he did. His movements were desperate and determined. “What do you want to talk about?” Lovina questioned.Patrick inhales and exhales sharply, “Mom, we should be working together not against each other.” He blurted out.Lovina furrowed her brow in confusion, “what are you talking about, I don’t understand.”Patrick took two steps forward towards his mother, “ What happened to the Uber driver, I know you sent someone to kill him, tell me. It was you right.” Lovina gave him a deadly glare, “What makes you think it was me? I don’t know what you are talking about, son.” Patrick was silent for a while, he stared at his mother without uttering a word. “You k
“You haven’t answered my question, What are you tired of?” Lovina questioned again with a serious tone.Grace struggled to spill out as she struggled with her words, her hands were trembling under the table.“She is tired of me being around her and always bossing her around,” Judith said firmly, coming to her aid.Grace nodded in agreement, Lovina switched her eyes from Judith to Grace and back to Judith. She wasn’t fully convinced about their statement.“Why would you be tired of her? She is your superior and she demands some respect. For this act, you would be suspended from coming into the kitchen for a week.” Lovina said in an authoritative tone.“But..ma.” Grace stammered.“You heard me clearly or do you want me to repeat myself,” Lovina said, giving her a deadly glare.Grace shook her head, “No ma.” Judith moved agape in shock, she wasn’t expecting such a declaration from Lady Lovina, she turned her gaze towards Grace who didn’t fail to give her a light nod. Grace wasn’t angry
Jason stood before the large mirror in his room, adjusting the collar of the crisp black suit. The tailored fabric hugged his athletic frame, exuding a sense of power and sophistication. He chooses a black undershirt to complete the look, its seamless fit adding an air of sleek modernity.He straightened his tie, ensuring every detail was perfect. With a final glance at the mirror, he ran his hand through his neatly styled hair and was ready to face the day ahead.He blew a deep breath letting air out of his mouth, Jason made his way through the staircase and straight to the entrance of the house where he met the guards, who didn’t hesitate to bow and greet their master.He reciprocated their greetings, before entering the car which was parted and opened by the doorman. The door was closed, he didn’t bother asking about Elena because he knew she had gone to work before him as usual.Elena didn’t allow staying at her boss’s house to affect her job, she would wake up early before ever
“Lumina autos, stock soars in a record-breaking month, this is great news.” Mr. Benjamin said smiling.He raised his head to look at Davies Christopher, “This is huge. Call Jason, we need to inform him about the news.” Mr. Benjamin took the intercom on the table and called his secretary to come to his office. Davies Christopher sat down, opposite his desk. The two men were engrossed in an exciting conversation until the secretary came inside the office.“Sir, you requested for me,” Georgia said.“Yes, I want you to call my son. Tell him it’s urgent and important.” “Okay, sir,” Georgia said.She got out of the office and went straight to Jason’s office. Jason wasn’t at his office when she got there, she found Loki who was seated by the side of the office. Georgia was about to go to her office when she saw Elena coming towards her direction. “Where is Master Jason?” Georgia asked.“Master Jason is in a meeting. Is there anything you wish to inform him about? You can tell me and I
Jason stared at Davies with his eyes gleaming in determination, “We have a lot of exciting projects in the pipeline, we are focusing on developing more advanced electrical vehicles and expanding into the new market. The goal is to maintain our competitive edge and continue driving innovation in the industry.” He said with a serious but determined tone.He continues to unleash several punchlines and outlines that would help the company still stay ahead of its competitors. Davies Christopher and Mr Benjamin nodded in approval, while Patrick kept mute, his hatred for Jason was increasing slowly, seeing how the men were smiling at Jason’s words. “That sounds like a solid plan,” Davies said, darting his gaze from Jason to Mr. Benjamin. “ Innovation is the key to staying ahead. And with you at the helm, I have no doubts Lumina Autos will continue to thrive.” “Yes, you are right.” Mr. Benjamin chimed in. “ I would love to hear more about these new projects, it sounds like you have some g
Lovina was in her room, she was going through a file that was on the desk. She picked up her phone. Her expression was serious as she dialled a number and waited for the call to connect.Unbeknownst to her, Grace had just finished cleaning the hallway and was about to knock on the door to announce that dinner was ready. Hearing Lovina's voice she hesitated, her hand hovering just above the door. Curiosity got the better of her, and she leaned closer to listen, her heart pounding in her chest.“Hello, yes it's me. We need to move forward with the plan, I can't afford any more delays.” She said with a serious but low tone.Grace's eyes widened in extreme shock as she listened intently to the conversation, she pressed herself closer to the door, straining to hear more words. “Yes. his son, Jason.” She said with a cold voice, “He is becoming a problem to me, we need to eliminate him before he causes more problems for me.” Grace's breath was cut in her throat, her mouth agape in disbelie
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
