He was crying like a baby, the indistinct muttering and camera flashing continued as the customers were all surprised at how Harold had switched sides all of a sudden and he was crawling and crying like a kid whose mom had seized his favorite toy.Janet was breathing heavily, she was shocked as well to see Harold pleading for Jason to forgive him. “How can the live-in son-in-law make Harold cry like a baby, who is he and how is he the owner of Infinity real estate.” She muttered inwardly. Jason stood up from his seat with a serious demeanor and adjusted his dress, Oscar Morgan gazed at him. “Mr. Lewis, what do we do to him,” he asked, referring to Harold.A small smile curved on Jason’s lips. As he took two steps forward to where Harold was. “ Harold, I warned you but you refused to listen to my words. You choose to listen to the advice of a woman, now look at you. You have lost your job and no company will be willing to employ you.” Jason said in a deep voice.“Please, Mr. Lewis. I

But seeing Robert back excites him.“I am fine, young master,” he said.Jason hugged Robert warmly with a smile.

Jason turned his back to see who it was and his gaze fell on his sister Amelia, Amelia was Jason's senior sister and she was married to Julian Brentford. Amelia resides in Australia with her husband who manages his father's business, Mr. Benjamin invites her and her husband over to spend time together.Jason was happy to see her after a long time he shook hands with her husband Julian, before turning to his sister. They engulfed themselves in a deep warm hug as their faces were engrossed with happiness and excitement.“Where have you been,” Jason asked.His sister playfully hit his chest. “I should be the one asking you, you left without telling anyone where you are. I am happy you are back.” She replied.“I got this for you,” Amelia said, handing a small bag to her brother.

Johnson’s Camino heart sank in disbelief as he absorbed Jason’s statement, he felt a surge of disappointment washing across his face. “ Mr. Jason, May I please know your reason?” He replied, trying to maintain a steady voice.Jason leaned forward with his hands placed on the polished desk. “ It’s not like we don’t see potential in your proposal but we need time to fully analyze the risks and benefits. We want to ensure that any partnerships we enter into are in the best interests of both parties.” Jason explained using his hand to demonstrate.His father nodded his head in agreement with his son’s statement. He cleared his throat. “We take our partnership seriously, Mr Camino. We want to make sure that we are making the right decision for our company and our shareholders.” Mr. Benjamin added his opinion with a serious expression.“I understand, Mr. Lewis. I appreciate your honesty.” Mr. Camino replied, his voice had fallen but he was trying to hide his disappointment.“We need more ti
At the Casino hall, Henry was seated across from Erikson, his new boss. Erikson’s expression was grave and filled with frustration.Henry sat quietly as he watched his boss ambled back and forth at a slow pace with his finger placed in between his lips.“I can’t believe the nerves of this dude, look at the things he is doing to people who disrespected him, this is unbelievable,” he said, his voice tingling with frustration and anger.He showed Henry the video of the tape from the previous events at the restaurant in Greensboro. Henry’s eyes fell on the phone screen as he gazed at the scene with disappointment and irritation.He nodded his head solemnly, with his jaw set in a firm line, “I hear Oscar Morgan is now working for Jason, this is a bad sign. What do we do about this?” He asked with his eyes fixated on Erikson.A sense of anger simmered beneath Erikson’s expression. “ We need to put an end to all these, that boy can’t keep winning. Everyone is talking about him and I don’t li
“What could that be?” Danny asked.Lawrence cleared his throat, he moved forward. “We have come here to discuss something important with you and your sister. I am a friend of the Lewis, I mean Jason Lewis. But we are not actually friends but business rivals.” He said, pausing momentarily before he continued “I want your assistance in helping me deal with him and his family. I heard about how he humiliated this family. I promise to help you all get a better life and a good job if you agree to help me.” Jessica sighed deeply. “ Why should we trust you and what makes you think we can help you.”“He is your ex-husband, I know. But he shouldn't have done what he did to your family. He took away your family plantation and even demoted your mom from his company. He has done a lot of bad things against your family and I am here to help you.”“It seems like you have done enough research on our family. But we are not sure we can help you.” Danny countered his words.“How are we sure you are no
The bustling mall was alive with chatters of shoppers and soft music from the nearby store. Mr. Benjamin Lewis held the hand of his grandson beside him was his daughter Amelia.Their laughter filled the air as they browsed the shop together, it was a happy moment for him. He cherished every second of it, as they wandered through the crowded corridor. The boy's eyes lit up with excitement as he spotted a display of his favorite toy in one of the store windows. “Grandpa look, it's the new superhero action figure. I want it please.” The little man said, tugging his grandfather's hand and urging him to come closer while pointing at it.He took the kids into the store, they were greeted by the salesperson and he reciprocated the greetings.“I want the toy over there, how much is it?" Mr. Benjamin asked.“It's $2,000.” The female sales personnel replied.“Okay, bring them.” He turned towards his grandson, “Do you need any other toy?” The boy shook his head intermittently and they browse
Their movements were swift and decisive, they moved closer to the guards and were about to take the gun when Robert unleashed some karate skills at the man close to him. The other guard did the same, Mr. Benjamin gripped his grandson and rushed back into the store to hide. His heart beating fast, he used his hand to cover his grandson.The kidnappers pull the trigger at the guard, The sound of the gun echoed through the hall causing other customers to scream out.The guard fell, with his hand covering his stomach. Robert was hit with the edge of the gun from behind and he fell flat unconscious.The atmosphere became chaotic as other customers inside the shop were running outside for their safety. The other guards downstairs rushed upwards to rescue their masters. The kidnappers noticed the scene had turned into chaos, so they walked away with the crowd and they walked away going towards their van. Without hesitation, the kidnappers drove away with just Amelia.Inside the mall, the L
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
