Danny knowing he wouldn’t like to be left out, he also needed a job to maintain his lifestyle. “ I think I know someone who can also help us, she works for Jason at the plantation.” He voiced out.“She works as the plantation accountant.” “Accountant,” Johnson exclaimed.“Yes, she could help us. She can give us information about him whenever he visits the site.” Danny added.Lawrence and Johnson liked the contributions from the millers, their coming was not a waste. They believe with the help of both siblings they have a great chance of being successful in their quest to humiliate Jason.“Danny, you will start working as a supervisor in the production warehouse with time, you might get a promotion.” Lawrence statedDanny’s face was engrossed with happiness knowing he had got a means to earn money to spend.They continue to discuss about Jason and how to go through with their plan.**********Jason’s mansion was adorned with lights and decorations, he was planning a festive with his f
“These are for you, my friends.” He said, handing each man a beautifully wrapped package. “Thank you for standing by my side when I needed you the most, you all came through for myself and my sister. I want you to kindly accept this token as my way of saying thank you.” He said with his voice filled with gratitude.Oscar Morgan, Robert, Graham and others accepted the gift with genuine appreciation, their expression reflecting their surprise and delight.Oscar Morgan stood up from his seat, he was etched with surprise. “Thank you, Master Jason. It was our honour to help you.’ He uttered, his voice filled with sincerity.“Thank you, Master Jason.” Oscar’s men said.“Thank you, young master.” Robert said gratefully.“Thank you, young master.” Loki and Graham said in unison.They were all surprised to receive such a gift from Jason, he got them the latest design wristwatch from a popular brand and also gave them a piece of land on the outskirts of the city. Each document contained their
“I have been thinking a lot lately about learning a skill in martial arts.” He confesses with his eyes shining with determination.Robert and Oscar exchanged surprise glances, intrigued by their master’s sudden interest.“Martial arts,” Oscar exclaimed.Jason nodded his head intermittently, “Yes, I know it might seem out of the blue. But I have always been fascinated by the discipline and skill involved. I think it could be a great way to say I shape and learn some self-defence.”He continued “There are several reasons why I feel drawn to it and I wanted to share them with you two as my friends. It is important to be able to protect ourselves as well as our loved ones. I want to feel confident and empowered knowing that I have the skill to defend myself if I ever face a dangerous situation.”Jason believes that learning a skill in martial arts has the potential to help him become the best version of himself and it will bring him strength, confidence and a sense of purpose.His friends
He sighed softly and cleared his throat to be audible. “ Let's say you are made the manager of this plantation, tell me how you envision contributing to the development of our plantation.” He asked calmly while maintaining his gaze on the lady.“Thank you, sir.” She uttered with a firm Voice.“With my background in agricultural management and experience in overseeing large-scale plantations, I believe I can play a role in optimising our crop production and maximizing yields.”She paused and continued. “I would focus on implementing modern farming techniques, improving crop rotation strategies and enhancing soil health through sustainable practices.” She mouthed with a steady voice.Jason's eyes were still on her as he listened attentively to her as she spilled out words. He got a jotter closer to him where he was taking down notes.“Additionally, I would Prioritize the development of our workforce by providing training and support to ensure that our team is equipped with the skill and
The second applicant walked into his office after he instructed, The man, Marcus Carter, a man in his forties with a white suit and well-shaved moustache.“Good morning sir.” He uttered with his voice barely above a whisper.“Good morning, Marcus, please have a seat. He gently opined “Thank you, sir,” Marcus obliged and he placed his waist on the chair opposite Jason.Jason did his observation just like he did when Jasmine Patel came to his office, His gaze was fixated on the man with a serious demeanour.“Marcus Carter, I am impressed by your report here. It states that you grew up working in a plantation arena.”‘Yes, sir.” Marcus retorted with his head nodding slightly in response.Jason looked at the questions he had written down, it was the same questions he had asked Jasmine. Marcus was engrossed with determination and anticipation.His response would determine who becomes the new manager of the plantation. Jason cleared his throat and leaned forward with both hands placed on
“Sir, I believe in leading by example and being actively involved in all aspects of the plantation operation. I would start each day by conducting a walk throughout the Plantation to assess the condition and address any immediate concerns by meeting with the various department heads to review the day’s tasks and I will ensure that everyone is aligned and working towards common goals.”He paused and continued. “Throughout the day, I would be available to provide guidance and support to team members, helping to overcome obstacles and seize opportunities for improvement. I will also prioritize safety and compliance with regulations implementing protocols to ensure a safe and productive work and environment for all.”Jason shrugged with a smile, “ your approach and focus are commendable, Marcus. That’s all for now, you can go back to the meeting room and I will get back to you shortly.” He requested.Without a second thought, Marcus Carter stood up from the chair. “ Thank you, Sir.” He sp
He was happy to see Lillian, the miller’s senior chef, while he was still living at the Miller’s mansion. Lillian was like his mother and saviour, most nights she would sneak and bring food for him when Mrs. Maria would deprive him of a meal.Jason disentangled from her after the warm hug, it was like a mother and son discussion. Graham noticed how his boss was smiling freely at the woman which sent a signal to him that they knew each other.“How are you doing, Mrs. Lilian.” Jason vehemently asked.“I am fine and you Jason.”“I am fine, Mrs. Lilian,” Jason replied.He wasn’t surprised to see Lilian at the plantation, the plantation once belonged to the family she worked for. His face was engrossed with a smile seeing Mrs. Lilian, the memories of how she used to treat him flashed on his face.“You never bother to check up on me,” she questioned, her eyes fixed on him. She had gotten to see him and now fathom everything she had heard about him from Danny and Jessica.“I am sorry, Lilian
Lilian sighed sharply, with her eyes fixed on him. “I will see what I can do.” She replied.Jason shook his head, handing her his number. “ This is my business card, you can call me anytime you wish.” He voiced out politely.She grabbed it, while she glanced at the card before she alighted from the car and walked away without looking back. Graham got into the car, he stared at his boss through the rearview mirror.“Let’s go home.” He said to his driver.Without hesitation, Graham revved the car engine and zoomed off. They took their normal route home, and through the bridge track, they met with unexpected traffic that made them standstill. Other motorists stopped after a truck was reported to have got spoilt ahead.Jason leaned his head as he waited for the traffic to lessen, he closed his eyes, his thoughts drifting to the comfort of his home. Suddenly a jolt rocked his vehicle from behind, startled Graham gripped the steering wheel tightly as he glanced through the rearview of the
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
