He raised his head to face the man standing before him. He shook his head in disapproval. “I can’t go back, not yet. Not until I have learned what I seek from you. Please will you teach me, I really need to learn.” He said firmly.Elena’s eyes shone in confusion, she watched the exchange of silence between her father and Jason. Her gaze flickers between Jason and his father as she weighs the gravity of what Jason has spilled out.“Please, Zachary. Like you said things happen for a reason and I believe meeting you was for a good reason. I beg of you, teach me how to heal and how to have a skill in martial arts.” He uttered in a low tone, while still looking at Zachary Reed.Elena was now able to understand why Jason had refused to go and what he sought from her father, there was abrupt silence between them. Until Elena voices out.“Father, if you don’t teach him. I will teach him,” she said.Zachary Reed looked at his daughter Elena with a mixture of pride and concern, knowing that he
Mr. Benjamin Lewis was in his study room, his hand trembling as he ambled back and forth at a slow pace, with the weight of worry and concern pressing down on him like a heavy burden. Threatening to crush him beneath its weight.He had just finished speaking with the chief of police and the leader of the diving team about his son’s disappearance but the news was still blank.It’s been two days and no sign of his son Jason, Mr. Benjamin was engrossed in deep confusion and fear. He was wallowing battling with several thoughts. He has no idea when the butler walked inside the room.Robert stared at his master, he had been standing there for two minutes without his master noticing. He cleared his throat and voice. “Master Lewis, Master Lewis.” He said while taping his master.Mr. Benjamin was brought back to earth after a long time of being lost in deep thoughts. He sighed deeply while blowing air out of his mouth in relief.“Robert, you are here,” he said in a low tone while moving towar
“Please, young lady, where can I find my son,” he asked, a glimmer of hope ignited in him after watching the video of his son.Elena sighed, she shoved her hand into her bag, retrieved a slip of paper from her bag pocket and handed it to Mr. Benjamin. His hands were trembling as he collected it and unfolded it, revealing his son’s handwriting. “This is Jason’s writing.” He said.Elena nodded her head in agreement, “Yes sir, that’s the address, sir. He wants you to meet him, he will be waiting for you there tonight.” She responded.Mr. Benjamin inhales and exhales deeply, his heart swelling with gratitude towards Elena.

“Elena, please help me get them something to drink.” Jason politely requested.Elena moved out of the room to get them something to wet their throat while they listened to what Jason had to spill out. Mr. Benjamin and Robert sit on the bed by the side of the room whilst Jason sits on a wooden chair opposite his father and butler.Elena came back after a few minutes with a tray of wine glasses and Vodka. She helped Pour the drink into each glass for the men before she moved to a seat by the Corner of the room.The room was engrossed with happiness, Mr. Benjamin Lewis sipped slowly from the content as he awaited to listen to what his son had to say.“Young Master, what happened and how did you survive? We have searched the river for you.” Robert asked.Jason drew a deep breath and mouthed. “We were returning from the plantation when we stopped due to some hold-up at the bridge until our car was hit from behind and the car fell into the river. I couldn’t tell how it happened but I felt i
Mr. Benjamin nodded in agreement to what his son had uttered, his mind racing with the plan and strategies to keep up the charade of Jason's disappearance.“I understand son, I will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice.” His father said his voice filled with determination.“I will not let them go free, they must pay for what they have done to my son,” he added.Jason shook his head in understanding while maintaining his gaze on his father, Mr. Benjamin.“Son, I can't tell you how relieved and happy I am knowing that you are alive. I thought I had lost you and I would never see you again.” tears welled up in his eyes as he pulled closer to his son, Jason. His heart was overwhelmed with love and gratitude.“I am here, Dad. I am not going anywhere, we will get through this together. All I seek is just a few days or weeks to train myself to be fit for whatever might come my way in future. We don't know what the enemies are planning against us.”
Jessica was in her room, she was exhausted and acting sluggish. She couldn’t shake the feeling running through her mind.She had already arranged her dress for her dinner date with Lawrence Nelson but she wasn’t willing to go out. Just then the door creaked open and her brother strides inside with a serious demeanour.He was shocked to see his sister in her pyjamas and her top and moved towards her with his face etched with worries.“Why are you not dressed yet,” he vehemently asked. “Ain’t you going out with Lawrence Nelson again, don’t tell me you changed your mind.” He said, giving her a cold stare.Jessica sighed in frustration, with her face buried downward. “I… I don’t think I can go anymore.” She said with her voice barely above a whisper.“What do you mean by that, Jessica? Don’t tell me you are thinking about Jason or have you forgotten what Lawrence Nelson had done for us, including how he paid Mum’s medication bills.” Danny said firmly.“Who is Jason, how can I think about
“Madam, there is a problem.” “What is it?” She asked, her voice filled with curiosity and concern.The caller didn’t utter a word for some minutes, it made Mrs. Maria angry. “Hello, are you deaf? Can’t you hear me? What is the problem.” She asked.The caller was struggling with his word but he summoned the courage to inform her what was happening. “Madam, the police have been trying to track the owner of the truck. They have been questioning everyone at the truck parked to know who owns it.” “What,” she exclaimed, she used her hand to cover her mouth.“Where are you and what did you tell them,” she asked.“Madam, I didn’t use my truck. I used one of my colleague’s trucks, he is out of town and nobody has an idea who took the truck. The manager of the factory called us earlier saying that they will be investigating to know who is behind it.”She sighed deeply, “You have to remain quiet, I will send you more money. You and your man should not spill out anything to anyone, it should be
Jessica was dumbfounded, she felt her body shivering in disbelief. She hoisted her head up to look at Lawrence Nelson. She recalled what her brother had told her earlier, those words were playing in her mind. “Nothing, I am fine,” she replied, faking a smile on her face.“So, are you going to sign it,” he asked.Jessica read through the sentence, it was a contract marriage. Jessica couldn’t believe that Lawrence Nelson wanted a contract marriage between them. And after two years they would both split leaving her to go home with millions of dollars. Lawrence’s offer was interesting and rejecting it would be a bad idea for her and her family, she didn’t think twice. She was willing to accept it not just because of her family but also because after two years she would be given a vacation to any country of her choice and the money that followed. But she thought about asking him, and his reason for wanting a contract marriage.She immediately yanked off her mind, while playing along with
