“What fifty million?!” May asked, looking petrified. “What do you mean what fifty million? The fifty million that you said the company would be willing to invest for quadruples the amount.” Clara stated sharply.“Mum, I still don't trust something like that. How about I just use five million instead? Using fifty million would be too risky especially for the company” May said. “You, you will be offering fifty million and that–.”“No, I get it. She is cautious, something a good business woman should be. But I am asking you to trust me on this. The fifty million won't come back to bite you in the back.” Jason interjected. ‘That’s If. It will actually be coming back at all.’ May thought looking at Jason with scrutinizing eyes.“Fine. I will send the money when I get back home.” May said but Jason frowned. “Is anything wrong with what I just said?”“No, I just don't see any reason as to why you can't wire the transfers now. It wouldn't be impossible, would it?” “No, not really. I just
“What?!”Clara yelled and sprang up from her seat. She glared at a waiter with a frustrated expression on her face.“What do you mean by seven million?” she asked, shaking her head.“I mean your bill. You ordered the most expensive palette of dishes that we had to offer, amounting the bill to seven million” the waiter said politely with an underlying tone of disdain.May looked around the restaurant, focusing his gaze towards the restroom.“Emm please there was a young man that we came with; the one who made the reservation. I believe that he is the one who you should be passing this bill to.” May said politely while pulling her mother by her dress.“Sorry, but Mr. Jason left a couple of minutes ago saying that you were to pay the bill of the meal that you had all eaten today.” The waiter said, the displeasure evident in his tone. May was a bit confused. Why would Jason ask them out on a dinner night without paying? Unless…’ Realization dawned on her as she turned around, her gaze
“Where do you think you are going?” Clara snapped. “Mum, not now. In case you didn’t notice, he just saved our sorry behinds. The least you could do is be grateful.” “I don’t remember asking for his help… or for your opinion.” Clara turned back to Declan. “You just had to butt into the situation and play the hero. Even manipulating my daughter to call you her husband.” “Mum, he is my husband. Calling him that in public isn’t a bad thing.” Declan looked at May and his face lit up seeing how she defended him. “You might want to take this outside. I didn’t do it for you, but for her.” Declan said, smiling at May. “And just in case you haven’t noticed, the waiter caused quite a scene when he was here; your yelling just intensifies that.” Declan said walking back to May. He leaned in towards her and went for her ears. “Later, I want you to tell me what Jason did and why he wasn’t the one paying for the meal.” He whispered before moving back. She nodded and he walked away amused at
Declan dropped his phone and turned to Mandy. “Well, what happened?” Mandy asked with an excited look on her face. “I have to go. Apparently, Jason just fell under my radar.” Declan said, standing up while searching for his keys. “Aren’t you going to fill me in before you go?” “Mandy, I will do that after I track him down.” He said, his eyes darting around the room. “Have you seen my keys?” “I won’t tell you until you fill me in on what is happening.” She said bluntly. “How can I find Jason? I know that his father has rejected him but how do I find him?” Declan asked, snatching Mandy’s keys. “You are not taking my car. What if you scratch it?” “I will get you a new one. So, are you telling me or not?” “Hmm… That sounds like what a rich dude would say. Is there something you're not telling me?” Declan cocked his brow and Mandy knew better to retract that question. “Okay fine. Personally, I don’t know where he stays, I’m not even sure that May knows. But if you can find someon
‘Big mistake’Declan shook his head walking after Jason. The security men began to look from Declan to Jason before realizing what the problem was. Three officers began to walk towards Declan.“Sir, I am sorry but you will have to stop moving forward and take a couple of steps back.” One of the officers said.“I don’t care what you have to say, just get out of my way. I have someone to catch.” Declan stated, ignoring the warning. One of the guards brought out his walkie-talkie and glared at Declan before raising it to his mouth.“This is officer Ryan, requesting back up at the waiting area. We have got a stalker who is after a passenger, I repeat requesting back –.” Declan advanced to the officer and jabbed at his neck, knocking him out instantly.“I hit a vital spot and I am sure he already has about two or more internal bleeding. You might want to check him.” Declan said, looking at the other two. One of them went to help their colleague while the other watched Declan before pullin
“Why are you asking? Think I will do the same to your father if I were to kill you?” Declan smiled, sending a chill down his back.“You won’t dare. My father will squash you like a fly if anything were to happen to me.” Jason said, shivering visibly.“You really are not that smart, if anything you are just like Nathan. Relying on your fathers for everything.” Declan chuckled. “I know that your father had you disowned but even if he were to come after me, it wouldn’t be unexpected.”“You are crazy!” Jason yelled.“Yep, you are exactly like Nathan, resorting to insults when you know that your begging and threats are futile. It’s almost amusing.”“Why are you doing this to me? I didn’t do anything to hurt May, I almost cared for her but would never hurt her.” “But you help Nathan get his hands on her, not that I minded that but you have been misleading her for a long time now and it's getting on my nerves.” Declan said crouching in front of a terrified pale faced Jason. Jason swallowe
Declan walked into the house, closing the door behind him. Mandy watched as he walked up to the couch and sat down beside her. “Why are you still up?” he asked, looking at the figure leaning against the couch gazing at him. “Don't tell me that you were waiting for me.”Mandy sat up rolling her eyes at him. “Just tell me that you at least got rid of Jason's body this time.’“I didn't see any reason to. Besides, I didn't get the time. The boy really knows how to get on someone's nerves.” Declan murmured and turned his attention to his watch. “Even keeping me with him till 1am in the morning, what could be more annoying?”“But did you really have to kill him? I mean a good threat would have done the job”“I didn't need to, I just needed the answers and he decided it would have been better for him to delay the inevitable. Besides, I already decided to kill him the first day he was introduced to May as a potential husband.”“So did you get the money back from him?”*Silence*“Please tell
“Is there anything there worth watching?” “I'm not sure, how about you go find out and tell me later.” Ashely said with a smile. May shook her head and was about to leave when her phone pinged. She turned to see a text from Declan and her eyes widened. “Meet me at the ignition café in half an hour.” Mandy sighed and stood up walking past Ashley towards her room. Declan raised his head as the café door opened and May walked in. He raised his hands and she walked towards him. she sat down placing her bag beside her before turning to him with a smile. “Good morning.” Declan smiled. “You came, I was expecting you to, but I didn’t think that Clara was going to let you.” “Like I was going to tell her that I was meeting with Declan Kings.” May smiled. “So why did you call me here? I was thinking that you would have been with your drama queen… or is it the Titanium queen?” “Well, I have been accused of worse. I came because of our call yesterday night, supposedly after your
