Declan dropped the gun and looked at Nathan’s limp body on the chair, riddled with bullet holes. He grabbed a handkerchief and wiped the gun clean before tossing it onto the dead body. He walked out of the warehouse walking to his car when his phone rang.“Hello?!”“Hey? What is wrong, Mandy?” Declan asked as he climbed into the car.“Did you finish him already?” she asked.“Yes, as a matter of fact not long ago. And I got some really good information”“Care to share?” she asked“Apparently the Smiths think I am a very good object to study. I have been trailed since we left their mansion” Declan said.“Please don’t tell me that they are aware that you killed Nathan and his father.” “I won’t tell you that but I can say that they wouldn’t be able to take a report back to their boss. I will take care of them after I visit May in the hospital.”“Have I ever told you that you care a bit too much for a lady that doesn’t feel the same way for you? You need to move on”“I have heard that one
Declan walked up to the man bedside and placed the package on a table. he opened the box and brought a weird looking leaf. He turned back to look at Mandy who placed her hands together apologetically and moved back to the side of the door. Declan grabbed a crucible and a few bottles of liquid.After minutes of mixing, he poured the resulting green goo into a bottle and set it aside before signaling to Mandy.“I hope you haven’t given him anything since the other incident with Dr. Great?”“No, I made sure that no drugs or person came into this room except from me.” Mandy replied. Declan nodded and grabbed the bottle moving towards the man lying on the bed. He administered the liquid and color flooded the old man’s face. Tossing aside the bottle, he backed away washed his hands.“He is in the clear as long as he isn’t given any weird substance. He will be fine until I can find the herb that would serve as a permanent cure.” Declan said walking out of the room with Mandy.“Alright. I won
The next day, Jason reached out and Knocked on the front door of the Williams household. Seconds later, the front door opened and Clara stared at him with a big smile on her face.“Jason, come on in. how nice of you to come over” She said, moving aside for him to enter. “It is nothing. I had to see how May is doing.” Jason said as he walked into the house.“She is still asleep. Tired and all. After everything that she had been through yesterday, it is not surprising that she will be in bed till afternoon” Clara shut the door and led him to the living room. “Take a seat. Do you have something for her? I can wake her up if you want” “No, I wouldn’t want to deprive her of a well-deserved rest. Emm, whenever she wakes up, please tell her that I would want to have dinner with her. We didn’t really complete our date the other day before she was taken.” Jason said.“I will make sure to do that”“And, do you think you and Ashley would be available by then? I would love it for the both of you
‘What is he doing here? And with her?’May froze at the entrance of the Restaurant, her gaze fixed on Declan sitting side by side with Mandy while sipping a drink.“May, do you plan on moving soon or do you want us to remain here all night?” Clara asked and gave her a small shove. May snapped out of her daze and walked into the restaurant after Jason without removing her gaze. They arrived at their table and sat down. Jason looked at May and flashed her a smile which she hurriedly returned.“so, what would you all like to order?” He asked, handling May the menu.“Well, an expensive restaurant like this should have some exotic meals that I would love to try out.” Clara said snatching the menu before May could get it. May smiled at Jason and grabbed another menu and started to pretend to go through it.She peeked over the top of the menu to look at Declan who had a small smile on his face as he held a discussion with Mandy. What was the relationship between those two? She reasoned and
“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
