“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
“My son is dead,” she said, Her tear gland was working fast. She paused to take a breath, “It's been six months since I lost my son in a car accident. He was on his way back to school when I received a call that he was hit by a vehicle and they took his bag.” Jason blinked twice after hearing those words, he glanced at Robert and Graham. Before shifting his gaze back to the lady.Jason felt pity for the lady, his eyes were wide a bit in extreme shock. “If her son is dead then who is sending the email to the company?” He muttered inwardly.His head was filled with several conflicting thoughts. “We are sorry about your loss. Mrs. Josephine. Do you know anyone close to your son aside from you?”“No, He was always alone with his laptop.” She said while using her handkerchief to dab her wet eyes.“Laptop.”“Can I see the laptop? Do you have it,” he asked politely.“No, I don't have my son's laptop. It was inside his bag.”“Can I see the picture of your son?” Jason asked.Mrs. Josephine
Jason visited the second orphanage Harmony Haven Orphanage.He was welcomed by a man in his forties, with a bald head. Jason sat opposite the man with his legs crossed against the other.“Good morning sir,” “Good morning.” Jason retorted.“I am Mr. McKay Bernard, welcome to Harmony Haven Orphanage. How can we help you sir.”With a serious demeanor, Jason sighed. “ I am Jason Lewis, I came to make an inquiry about an email your orphanage sent to Trustworthy Finance.”“What email sir.”Jason gave him a cold stare, which frightened the man.He brought out a copy of the mail he printed out, placing it before the man.“Mr. Bernard, we have records. I just came to confirm if it is true or not.”“Sir, I know nothing about sending an email to anyone, I took charge of this orphanage two months ago. It was handed over to me by my father who died three months ago.”Jason glanced at him with a confused facial expression on his face. He curled his fist in annoyance.“This can be possible, what i
“I know nothing aside from what I just told you.”Jason leaned further, giving Gareth a deadly stare. Hot sweat drenched from Gareth’s head down to his cheeks.“Do you think we are here for Jokes? You better spill everything you know or else you will spend the rest of your life behind bars.”His statement made Gareth quiver more in fear, his palms locked together as he pleaded for Jason to forgive him but the more he pleaded the more it got Jason angry and the more Robert’s hand landed on his face.Tears streamed down his cheeks, his face engrossed with mixed feelings. His body was shaking. His voice tingles with a mixture of fear and embarrassment.“Please, tell him to stop.” He said, pleading for forgiveness. His clothes were wet from the sweat making his body visible. He felt as helpless as a ship stranded in calm waters.Jason winked at Robert to stop, seeing Gareth in pain Jason giggled inwardly. “Are you ready to talk now?”“Yes, I will say something. Mrs. Maria and I used to vi
Jessica found herself, seated before Jason. Jason glanced at her with a furrowed brow, he kept a serious demeanor.The flickering candles light casting a soft glow on their faces. He couldn't shake the feeling of discomfort that settled in the pit of his stomach.Jessica's with a bright smile on her face and cheerful demeanor, she was desperately interested in making him love her again.Jason called the waitress to come take their orders, and after a few moments, the waitress came back placing what they ordered before them.“Jessica, What do you want and why were you so eager to see me,” Jason asked with his brow raised.Jessica tried hard to swallow what was in her mouth, but it choked her and she quickly reached out to grab the glass of water in front of her, gulping it at once.She coughed hard, using her left hand to tap her chest repeatedly, Jason didn't make a move or even care about what she was going through.Jessica breathed heavily after a few minutes, her eyes became water
After having dinner with his father that morning, Jason got dressed and ambled towards his car, all road leading to Trustworthy Finance.Jason is scheduled to have a business meeting with Zenith Enterprise.As the team of zenith ambled into the lobby of Trustworthy Finance, they were greeted by Jason's secretary. Welcoming them with a smile across her round face which put the visitor at ease as she ushered them into the meeting room where Jason, Mr. Cynthia Konsa, and the loan officer Lily Wong were in charge of their request.“Good morning, Mr. Jason. Thank you for making time for this meeting.” the CEO of Zenith Mr. Marcus Alexander uttered with a smile on his face. They both exchanged handshakes, while they all exchanged pleasantries.“Good morning, Welcome to Trustworthy Finance, please have a seat. How can we assist you.” Jason said, with a friendly smile.They placed their waist on the seat as they were prepared to spill out their reason for the meeting.The CEO of Zenith Enter
It was the weekend, Jason had less work to do and he was bored at the mansion. He instructed Loki to get the creamy Bentley ready, planning on going to the boutique to get new suits for his upcoming meetings.Jason was dressed in a blue jean and a black turtleneck shirt, which hugged tight around his muscular body. He was standing at the frontage of the Lewis mansion. He was greeted by every servant that passed by. He reciprocated the greetings with a smile.The creamy Bentley finally screened in front of the mansion, the guard parted, the door opened for him and he bent over to enter the car. The driver slowly revved the car before zooming off.After a few minutes drive, they finally stopped at Royal Gallery Boutique, one of the biggest boutiques in Winston-Salem. They parked at the parking space around the boutique premises, and Jason opened the door by himself before Loki would come down from the car. “Young master,” his mouth widened as he stared at his master.“Don’t worry man,
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
