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. His expression was entwined with happiness and hope knowing his son was alive.“Thank you, dear, you have given me hope and I am eternally grateful for what you have done,” he said, with his voice filled with gratitude.Elena smiled and mouthed. “It’s a pleasure, sir, I am glad I could be of help.”Mr. Benjamin shook his head. “So can we go now?” He vehemently asked.
“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
That fateful day, Jason was expected to start his training with Zachery Reed. He wore a jogger and a T-shirt. He was standing by the side of the house fully prepared for the task ahead.His face was engrossed with determination to succeed in his path to gain martial arts knowledge. He inhales sharply while maintaining a serious expression. Zachary Reed was standing in the middle of the house close to the river.“Are you ready,” he asked with a steady but firm voice.Jason nodded his head in response. “Yes, I am.” Zachary stared at him, he could see the determination in his eyes. He knew the young man was willing to endure any pain and struggles to achieve his goal of learning the martial arts skill.Zachary moved towards the hut to drop what he was holding and came out to met Jason.He bowed respectfully towards Jason, He also returned the bow the same way.“We begin your training in the martial arts world today,” he said with his voice barely above a whisper.Jason nodded his head s
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
