His eyelid blinked twice, and with a trembling hand, he carefully opened the box. Revealing a dazzling silver necklace nestled within.“It’s beautiful. How will this help me with the healing processes.” He promptly questioned.“You will need to put it on your neck first only then can you know the power and strength it carries.” He responded.“The necklace is infused with the wisdom of the eyes, it will amplify your innate healing abilities and guide you on your paths,” he added.Jason’s heart was pounding fast in gratitude as he gazed at the pendant, he felt a sense of connection to the universe. He removed the necklace from the box and moved it from his head down to his neck.Zachary smiled, as he had accomplished his mission. He had found the grand master after several years, he couldn’t take the feeling of excitement within his mind. It was like magic, the necklace began to emit a soft pulsating light. Enveloping Jason in a warm embrace of healing energy.“Feel the power of the ne
“What,” Jessica said.“Yes, I know how you have been going out with him and everything you and Danny have been discussing in this house. So we better play along to be in a safe hand. I wouldn’t want to spoil your mood and your wedding.” Mrs. Maria said sarcastically.Jessica couldn’t believe her eyes, that her mother had been playing with them all this while. She tutted her lips in disbelief and her expression was mixed with frustration and anger.“Mom, why? Why would you lie to us, you made everyone believe you were sick and couldn’t remember anyone. We believed in you and took care of you.” Jessica said with her voice barely above a whisper.Mrs. Maria glared at her daughter and a smile formed immediately from the edges of her lips. “You know why, Jessica. All this was because of your ex-husband, Jason. He was going to take me to prison for everything I had done to him, he found out I stole a huge amount of money and he was after me. I saw the accident as an opportunity to hide mys
Zachary was surprised to see the representative from Harvard Bank at his doorstep that morning, his expression entwined from happiness to Sadness. He knew they had come to deliver sad news to him about his debt.“Good morning, Mr. Zachary, good morning Young lady.” Helen Mei said.Zachary and his daughter responded to their greetings, father and daughter exchanged worried glances at each other. “Mr. Zachary, we came here because we have something important to tell you.” Mrs. Helen Mei said.Zachary Reed furrowed his brow, as he inhaled and exhaled softly. He tutted his lips, while Elena held her father’s hand. “Mrs. Helen, please is there any way we can talk to your superior to extend the loan,” Elena said.“I promise, we will pay. All we seek is for another time extension, so we could raise the money. Please, don’t chase us out of our house. This is all we have got left.” Elena said.Mrs. Helen Mei and her colleague glance at each other in confusion. They chuckled slightly, Zachary
Lilian was speechless, He couldn’t utter a word. She was engrossed with several thoughts. She didn’t know what else to do.“Jason, you were right about Mrs. Maria. She is not sick but healthy, she has deceived everyone all this while.” Jason clenched his fist in anger, his instinct has been right all along. “How do we expose her and her plans,” Jason said.Jason gazed at Lilian, he could understand her expression. She had something in her mind but she didn’t want to say it.“Lilian, is there anything you wish to tell me?” He asked.Lilian kept mute, the word in her mind was too heavy for her to spill out. She inhales and exhales sharply. “Jason, I have a video recorder at home. It contains everything that has been happening in her room. Ave and I placed an undetected spy camera in her room, we have some evidence against her. But Jason, I wanted to ask something from you.” “What could it be, Lilian.” “My family, will you protect my family and me? If I helped you, I know how you h
It was the day of Jessica and Lawrence Nelson wedding, and guests had gathered in anticipation to witness one of the biggest weddings. Jessica was dressed in a flowing ivory gown adorned with delicate lace. She beamed at her mother who stood close to the altar. Lawrence was dressed in a tailored navy suit with a crisp white shirt and roses pinned on his lapel. The atmosphere was filled with love and smiles and a hush silence fell over the crowd as they began the ceremony. All eyes were fixed on the couples before them. They stood before the altar ready to exchange their vows and commit their lives to each other, just when they were to make the last vows. The door creaked open and a voice screamed from behind. “Wait,” Jason Lewis walked inside the hall, all eyes turned to deduce who entered the hall and they were all shocked to see Jason. The guests gasped in shock, everyone believed Jason was dead, the crowd echoed in shock and some guests ran away thinking he was a ghost. Mrs. M
The cheerful atmosphere turned tense as guests watched the confession of Mrs. Maria and her family members. The guests were disappointed in Lawrence Nelson for what he did and for associating with the millers.With a sense of urgency, the chief of police and two other officers emerged and sauntered towards Mrs. Maria whose face was engrossed in shame and embarrassment.“Mrs. Maria, You are under arrest for fraud and perjury Any thing you do or say will be used against you in the court of law.” The chief of police said with an authoritative tone.Mrs. Maria protested. “What is this, you are wrong, I have not done anything wrong. Let me go.” She screamed.“Shame on you, Mrs. Maria. You and your family are a disgrace and I am sure your husband will be disappointed in you and your children in his grave.” one of the guests said.“You are fake Mrs. Maria, I wish you had died in that car accident. Arrest her and make sure she doesn't return to this city. She is a bad influence.” another guest
As Jason made his way through the lobby of the building the following morning, he was greeted with a smile and nods from his staff. He could hear their palms clasping together and their facial expressions were mixed with happiness and excitement.The atmosphere was tense with a sense of relief and astonishment, “Welcome back, master Jason.” One of his staff exclaimed at the entrance.“We are happy to have you back, sir.” Another staff chimed In.He couldn’t help but return their smiles as he felt a sense of gratitude coursing through his veins. It was clear that his absence had been felt by his staff. He could also see their blank faces that demanded an explanation of how he survived and his whereabouts.He moved towards the elevator, pressing the button of the floor where his office was situated, the elevator ascended towards the floor and slipped open, Jason made his first step out of the elevator, and the familiar surrounding of his office felt like a warm embrace welcoming him b
The air was heavy in anticipation as the judge laid out the case against Jessica and her family members, the doctor and the two truck drivers stood up on their feet with their wrists attached with handcuffs like a bracelet.Jessica found herself inside the box after her brother had been questioned, her eyes welling up in tears but she held it. Her eyes had turned red and her face was etched with sadness.Just couldn’t shake the feeling of her mind, her heart pounding fast in regrets. She awaits the court judgement, with eyes facing downward after she had been questioned by the Lawyer. Mrs. Maria and her family couldn’t get a lawyer, and aside from not having money to pay a lawyer, no lawyer would want to help them after hearing their case.“Ms. Jessica Miller, after going through all the evidence against you. You have been found guilty of aiding and assisting your mother’s fraudulent behaviour, deception and manipulation. Your actions have a serious consequence and you are hereby se
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
