Jason was not moved by Danny’s threats, he had been used to Danny's threats.Jason stared at Mrs. Janet who was standing by the door with her head facing downward, he smiled contemptuously and ambled towards her.Mrs. Janet's knees were shaking in pain and her heart was rumbling. She was dumbstruck.She squeezed her alluring knees and slammed them against the floor, hot sweat-drenched from her forehead down to her ears. She felt like the ground should open for her to fall inside.She held the hem of his pants, Jason stared at her in dismay. Tears began to stream down her eyes slowly and mucus escaped her nose. “What is it,” he said furrowing his eyebrow his expression was extraordinarily disdainful“Please, don't sack me please.” She pleaded with her palms placed together.Her heart was intertwined with Bitterness and sadness.Seeing her knees down, Jason's heart swung in excitement. Earlier on she was cursing him and now she is begging for forgiveness.“Please, I promise to change m
The following morning, Jason was having a meeting with the shareholders of Trustworthy Finance. He was informing them of his intentions to build a restaurant in the developing area of the city. Some of the shareholders were not in support as it was risky for them due to the company’s budget while some agreed upon it as it would be a nice business. Those who were in support were bigger than those who were not in support of it. So they gave him a go-ahead. Jason was in the office going through some reports about a real estate company he would want to purchase the land for his new restaurant. Then a knock came on his door, he ordered the person to come inside, it was Mrs. Cynthia Konsa. “Good Morning Sir, I would like to discuss something with you.” “Okay, have a seat.” He said, stretching his hand towards the chair in front of his desk. “What do you want to discuss with me,” he said calmly. “Sir, it’s about the new project you intend to build.” “What about it, Mrs. Cynthia,” Jas
It was the biding day, Jason was dressed in a white suit, and he was seated with his father Mr. Benjamin in the living room, Mr. Benjamin observed the expression on his son's face. Getting the land will mean a lot to him, Jason wants to build a big restaurant in Winston-Salem. His first project since returning home.“Son, I heard you are planning on building a restaurant in the developing area of the city.” “Yes father,” he said softly.“Son, a restaurant is supposed to be built in a populated place, a place where there are so many residential areas such as a school, park, and a shopping center, not a place that is undergoing transformation.Jason sighed heavily and said, “Father, building a restaurant in a developing area can help you establish your presence early on and potentially capture loyal customers.”“It will also enable us to become an integral part of the community from an early stage of development.”Mr. Benjamin shook his head lightly as he listened to his son, he was h
“ 1 Billion Dollars,” The voice said again.Mr. Derrick's expression quickly switched from happiness to sudden pain. The man ambled towards the direction where there was light and it was none other than Mr. Benjamin Lewis, behind him was Robert Smith. Jason's eyes widened in shock at seeing his father and wondered why his father was there. with the hammer falling the Lewis Corporation won the bidding and got the land. Mr. Derrick was the first to leave the hall. His face was brimful in anger and frustration, Mr. Benjamin stared into Mr. Derrick's eyes.Jason was happy to see his father and knowing they had won the bidding, Mr. Benjamin beamed at his son. The crowd congratulated them for their win, hands clapping from different angles of the hall. After the bidding, the crowd started heading back to their various destinations.“Daddy, What are you doing here?”“Is that how to say thank you.” Mr. Benjamin said.“Thank you, Dad,” Jason said, smirking.“Robert and I decided to visit y
At the center of the room behind a massive mahogany desk, sits the mafia lord Oscar Morgan. A formidable figure dressed in an impeccably tailored suit. His steely gaze commanded respect as he observed the bustling around him.The air is heavy and the murmurs of whispered conversation, surrounding him are his loyal lieutenants.An awful smell filled the room. A cigarette is placed between his middle and index finger. Oscar Morgan puffs out smoke from his mouth, white smoke dancing in the air traveling to the ceiling. Mr. Derrick and Danny were both seated before the mafia lord Oscar Morgan. Danny coughed, the irritating smell filling his nostrils. He tried using his hand to cover his nose, Mr. Derrick gave him a cold look which made him resist his actions.Oscar's gravelly voice cut through the silence“Derrick, it's been a long time since you visited me. Why are you here?” His voice echoes through the room.“I am here to talk about business.” “What kind of business?” Oscar said wit
“Yes, Young master. I just got informed that Mrs. Maria Miller is awake but there is a problem.”“What problem?”“Master, she can't remember anything, she is unable to even recognize her children. The doctor said she would need time to recover.”“What!!” He groaned.Jason was furious, he couldn't believe what he just heard. “Is This her plan for her to escape work? How is that possible?” He muttered inwardly.“Roger, thanks for the information, just keep me updated” Jason hung the call, his facial expression switched from happiness to anger. Robert was about to turn towards Jason when he noticed something unusual through the car mirror, he turned and stared in that direction. He winked at the two of the guards behind him. “Follow me and you two protect the young master,” he said, giving them signs to separate and move in different directions.Jason turned as he observed Robert and the two other guards heading inside the construction site with guns in their hands.“Young master, yo
“We got hold of two injured men and they have been arrested. The construction workers have all departed from the site and the police have started an investigation.”Jason sighed in relief.“That's good to hear.” Mr. Benjamin said.“Sir, the chief of police is downstairs and he awaits your presence,” Robert said.“Okay, let's go, son.”Mr. Benjamin, Jason, and Robert followed as they moved to the living room, the chief of police Mr. Frank Derek was seated on the sofa. When he saw them coming he stood up from his seat.“Good day Mr. Benjamin,” he said “Good day, chief.”They both stretched their hands for a handshake before relaxing each other's hands.“How are you doing?” “I am doing fine sir.”“Have a seat Chief.” Mr. Benjamin said, pointing towards where he sat before he stood up.The chief cleared his throat and said, “Sir, my men are investigating the situations on ground. We have been able to capture two of their men and they are in the police custody.”“Did the men tell you wh
On Monday morning dawns in the city, Jason steps cautiously through the doors heading to his office in Trustworthy Finance, his heart pounding with a mixture of apprehension and determination.He feels a knot of tension tightened in his heart as he navigates the familiar corridors. Taking a deep breath, Jason settles into his desk, his hand punches slightly as he powers up his computer and he sifts through the emails that have accumulated during his absences.He threw himself into his work determined to regain a sense of normalcy and routine in the aftermath of the attack. He found solace in the familiar rhythm of his daily tasks focusing on the present moment rather than dwelling on the past event.The construction workers have been asked to continue work at the site and they have been guarded by large numbers of police officers.While skimming through the email on his laptop, he found mail from Harmony Haven Orphanage and Angel's Refuge Orphanage. He took a screenshot of it.Dialle
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
