“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
“Nothing,” he responded, moving towards the store and coming back after a few minutes. Without uttering a word he walked into the farmland leaving Jason alone.That night there was deep silence around the house between Jason and Zachary Reed. His daughter Elena was not home, she had gone to her shift job.**************The atmosphere charged with anticipation and determination as Jason stood before Zachary eager to receive his first training the following day after receiving lectures about the principles of martial arts.Zachary cleared his throat and mouthed in a serious tone. “Today we will begin your first martial arts training and we will start with basic blocks.”Jason nodded his head softly, his heart pounding fast in excitement as he prepared to take his first step towards his path to acquiring his martial arts skill.Zachary moved closer towards Jason, he stood by his right side while they faced a particular direction. Jason inhales and exhales deeply, letting air out of his
