The twenty-first day of October dawned bright and beautiful, and Jason was perfectly excited about the meeting with the president. He had asked Laura to accompany him, but she said that she was not in the best place to accompany him for such an auspicious meeting. It took him two days to understand what she was talking about, and he soon realized that she desired with all her heart for him to go with Jasmine.

Jasmine was first taken aback when he asked her. It was a great opportunity for her, but if she agreed, Jason would read so much meaning into it. So, she declined at first, but Laura would not let her off the hook so easily. She had a conversation with her one morning, just as she was up for breakfast, and convinced her to go with Jason. "But I don't want him building ideas in his head," she insisted as she sipped loudly on her tea. She acted out of character when she was nervous. "From what I know about Jason, he is more of a focused businessman, so until you come to him and br

    Jason was nervous on the spot. He knew that the entire contract coming to him on a platter just had to be out of the ordinary. "What is the condition, Sir?" He finally asked the president. The middle-aged man grinned before he began to speak. "You know, in the business world, we have opportunities to get into collaborations for business deals. For us to secure these collaborations, there needs to be a seal to ensure that we are sure of it, more like the sealing of a contract." He paused and looked at Jason, who had suddenly stopped eating. His appetite had vanished a while ago and he did not feel so comfortable. "You are a successful businessman, and I am the president of the country who can offer you all the major contracts I will be handling for the state. It would be a good idea for you to get married to my beautiful daughter so that we will agree." Jasmine was spellbound by this proposal and it was as though her appetite also disappeared as well at this news. She looked at Jason,

    If you don't want to die like your father, you better do the right thing. Jason heard Emilia's voice in his dream for the third time in a row and he knew at this point that all was not well. There had to be something wrong, and he was intent on finding it out. He sat up in bed, placed his head on the plush headboard and closed his eyes. The previous day had ended on a hectic note for him, and he was so tired even this morning. But discipline made him want to listen to the alarm clock and get out of bed. He was beginning to get suspicious about Emilia's constant reminders in his dreams. He had not put so much thought into it the day she said it. All of a sudden, he was intent on finding out what was going on. He was still deep in his thoughts when his phone rang on the bedside table. He looked at the time. It was still six in the morning and he thought that it was probably Laura.The number that he saw when he picked up the phone was not hers, and she wondered who was calling him this

    Jason dashed out of the mansion immediately and Samson quickly followed after him, as he already knew that his boss wanted to go somewhere. He asked the driver to pull out one of the cars immediately as he asked Jason where they were headed. In a few minutes, they were on their way to the hospital and Jason could not help but indeed at what the doctor had managed to find out in such a short time frame. He soon got to the hospital and without checking in at the reception, he dashed to the doctor's office. Nobody dared to stop him because he was powerful. They recognized who he was at once. "Thank you for coming on such short notice," the doctor began once he was in the office. "What have you found out?" Jason asked sternly, not in the mood for so many pleasantries. The doctor motioned him to a seat and slid a file to him. Jason took it immediately and looked through it, but he could not fully understand the medical jargon that it contained. "I asked for your late father's record to b

    "What are you talking about?" He asked her as he looked at her, his forehead creased with worry. "I told you that I was going to come up with something so you did not have to marry Daphne and I did," she said, sounding super excited. It was at that moment that he noticed Daphne standing by the door with an obvious scowl on her face. On hearing Laura, she was forced to think that Jason was still doing the contract marriage because of the contracts that her father had planned to give him. His eyes met hers and he noticed the hurt in them before she turned around. He followed after her immediately and Laura rolled his eyes. Jasmine was standing in his way as he was about to go after her, and she sensed what was going on immediately. She was irritated at once as she stopped him. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She asked him. "Are you going to lose yourself because of a girl that you just met a few days ago?" She sounded irritated. "You have a company to run, one that is worth trillio

    Daphne remained in the mansion for the third week and Laura was not too excited about it. Jason, on his part, did not see any fault with it at all. The most important thing about it was that he enjoyed her company. When he was not working, he was in her room. He had even urged her to come to the master's bedroom with him on some occasions. He had just managed to slip out of bed this morning and went to his office. He was supposed to go check out his oil rigs later in the day with Laura, and he was sure that she was already waiting for him. Just as he guessed, she was right at his office when he got to the executive floor. "You know, I wonder what you would do if you were married like I am," she said to him as he proceeded to his seat. "Whatever do you mean?" He asked her with a feigned ignorance. "Come on, Jason. You are not even married to Daphne and yet, she takes all your time." "But I intend to make things official with her sooner or later, so it is not a big deal.""It's not my

    Jason left everything that he was doing and dashed out of the office immediately, leaving Beverly standing there alone. His heart thumped wildly as he headed to the car that Samson had already held open for him. "Are we going back home now, Sir?" Samson asked him as he looked into the rearview mirror, and Jason nodded immediately. Samson kept stealing glances at him, and he could see how restless Jason was as they drove on."Is everything okay?" He asked Jason as he kept looking at him. "I think that Jacob has been kidnapped," Jason blurted out. "Are you very sure about this?" Samson asked him. He had worked in the military before and he knew how to handle these kinds of matters perfectly. "I would not say anything if I was not sure," Jason said to him, sounding very irritated. When they got to the mansion, Jasmine was already waiting for him outside and she seemed very troubled. "What happened?" He asked her as soon as she got out of the vehicle, his tone laced with worry. Laura was

    At this point, he could not believe his eyes. He wished that Jasmine was present to witness this, and she would confirm it as well. He watched the gait and it was just as he had seen in the video. His heart shattered into a thousand pieces at the realization that it was Alex who had murdered his father. His father had been nothing but good to Alex and his family. His father took Alex in when he was a young lad and gave him a respectable source of living. Disappointment still shifted to anger, and it surged through him in a way that burned so much. "What are we waiting for?" Jason asked the officer, and he gave the signal for them to be ambushed. Two officers got in first, taking all the guards down. A gunshot was heard and one of the guards dropped dead to the ground. Alex became suddenly afraid and he looked for a way to redeem himself. Without thinking about it so much, he untied Jacob easily and held him with a gun to his head. "Come out now!" He ordered. "Come out or I'll shoot!"

    "Run, Jacob, run!" Jason hollered at Jacob as he held on to his leg, the one that Alex had just put two bullets into. He grimaced in pain, and he was suddenly seeing small stars in his sight. It was such an unbearable pain that he thought that he was going to pass out. Emilia and Alex were already ambushed by the police and we were taken out of the building, and into the police vans. The police also took hold of Jason and got him safely to where Samson was, who took the boy and placed him safely in the car. Laura rushed to where Jason was, and she could see that he was almost passing out. He was losing a whole lot of blood, and it was making him pale. In no time, the ambulance arrived, and he was rushed into it on a stretcher. Jacob's eyes were filled with concern as he looked at Jason, writhing in pain as he got into the ambulance. They began to control his bleeding at once in the ambulance. He was sweating profusely and gasping for breath, to the extent that he thought that he was

    On the day Daphne was discharged from the hospital, she decided that she wanted to go see her father in jail. Jason suggested against it, but she was not willing to comply. She had her reasons and when she persisted, he let her be. She took her child with her as well, and Jason's hands were tied as he knew that their relationship was stiff at the moment. There was no need to aggravate it.“At least allow me to come with you so that I can keep an eye on you and the baby,” she offered. “I want to do this on my own. I have my reasons,” she said to him. “And before you act stupid, don't ask any of your men to follow me,” she added before she got into the waiting car. She knew however that he would not just let her go like that without company. She could already see two cars following after her at a reasonable distance, but she did not mind. She needed the protection anyway.&nb

    Jason waited until it was nightfall before he headed to the safehouse where Gustavo had kept Angelina. He wanted to be as discreet as possible, and Gustavo had been high on surveillance since Jason told him what they needed to do. When they got to the safehouse, another round of surveillance was done before the door of the car was opened for him to come down. He headed to the front door and headed to the stairs that led to the basement.Angelina was tied to a chair in the relatively empty and spacious basement, and it was a bit chilly, so she was asleep. He stood at a reasonable distance before her and stared at her for a while. It was almost unbelievable to him that she was at his mercy at this time. She was supposed to be the most powerful woman in the state, but she was crippled at his mercy.“Wake her up,” he finally ordered. A bucket of wat

    The meeting that Klaus called for was one that Jason did not want to attend. It was as though there was something that he harbored within him, a kind of guilt that washed over him. However, he knew that if he did not attend, Klaus would be highly suspicious because he had a fallout with Angelina. One more seat was empty when he got to the venue. It was Angelina's seat, and the table was quiet, as Siman and Rasheed were not so much of the talkers. As expected, Klaus was unhappy, but this time, he was not pacing about like one without a purpose. He was just sitting quietly, as though he was in deep thought. Jason took his seat and stayed silent as well. He did not intend to break the silence that had ensued, so he just kept his cool. “I have not seen or heard from Angelina in four days,” Klaus began. “I have sent her a ton of messages, and I cannot get to her assistant as well.” Gustavo had made sure that there was a heavy massacre in the warehouse that day. He made sure that none of A

    Jason woke up with a start and looked around him. A wave of relief overshadowed him as he discovered that he was in his bedroom. He looked to the side and saw that there was a drip bag attached to his hand. As he attempted to lift his hand, a sharp pain shot through his arm and his shoulder, forcing him to let out a loud groan and fall back on the bed. He soon began to recall what had happened the previous night, and all the events came rushing back at him. It made him panic as he did not see Daphne or the baby in the bedroom with him. He struggled to get up again and pulled away the drip on his hand. He stood up and attempted to walk out. He wobbled and landed on the floor, causing a loud noise. The door opened and Gustavo walked in to help him get back on the bed. Jason closed his eyes in exhaustion. “I decided to bring you home because I did not think that you would like the attention that staying in the hospital would cause you,” Gustavo began. “That's a very good decision,” Jaso

    “First of all, I want you to start with the way you took Maxwell down,” she began, and Jason glanced at Daphne, who seemed to be listening keenly as well. She would be so disappointed. “Oh! She does not know?” Angelina asked. “Can you just stop?” Jason asked her. “So, the woman that you claim to love is not aware that you are the one that put her father in jail, and soiled her family reputation, right?” She continued. “I'm not going to say anything about that,” Jason sounded firm. He did not intend to spill, and he was not just making up his mind at the moment. He had decided not to spill anything since he left his house. He saw how desperate she was for his confession, and he wanted to use that to his advantage. “Before I say anything, I would like you to tell me what manner of business you run here,” he said as he leaned in. “My merchandise is none of your business,” she said to him. “Well, if you need my confession, then you have to explain what this business is all about because

    Jason got into the car, took a deep breath, and took out his phone to place a call to Angelina. Even though she had sent someone to monitor him as he drove to the address, she still asked him to be on a video call the entire time, to ensure that no one was in the car with him. He was getting exhausted from her rules, but he had to comply because of his family. She had proof that she was with them, and he was the only one that could rescue them. Gustavo had thought up a brilliant plan, and things were already in place, giving Jason added confidence. He was not too sure that his plan would work out, but in the end, he blamed it on the nerves. He started the car and began to drive without taking one more look at the screen, where Angelina was watching him. “You are cute by the way,” she began when the tense silence had lasted for a while. “I have envisioned you in my bed a couple of times, not gonna lie,” she continued. Jason swallowed hard at this statement. He was already disgusted. A

    Jason clicked on the speaker button on the phone so that everyone could hear what the caller was going to say. The line was silent for a while, and Jason thought that it was just a prank call. “Hello Jason,” a familiar voice finally came on the line. It did not take him long to figure out who was on the line. He could detect Angelina's voice in a crowd. It was too deep for a female voice. “I am guessing that by now, you are shaken with fright at the disappearance of your wife and daughter,” she said with some kind of amusement in her voice. Her audacity annoyed him so much. “Angelina, I swear, if anything happens to them, you are going to regret it,” Jason fired at her. Ben immediately signaled him not to say anything again, so that they would not provoke her. Jason did not seem to care at all. He was just angry. “I would not be making threats if I were you,” she said. “You have no idea where I am or where your wife and child are, so I would be quiet and cooperate if I were you,” she

    Jason was confused about what to do next at the moment. He kept trying to call her as he dashed to the elevator that led to the penthouse they occupied in the mansion. He prayed that by some miracle, Daphne was upstairs and sleeping peacefully with their son. That would give him so much relief. But when he got there, the room was empty. He went ahead to look into the bathroom but there was no one there. His heart began to thump loudly as he rushed downstairs again. Gustavo was waiting for him when he came downstairs. “I can't find Daphne and the baby,” Jason blurted out in a worrisome voice before Gustavo could even ask him what was wrong. “I had two of my men follow her to the hospital. Let me try to call them,” Gustavo said as he took out his phone. He was so calm, as though he was very confident that there was nothing wrong with them. Gustavo called them over and over again but none of them answered. He began to get worried as well. “This is very unusual,” Gustavo muttered as he

    Jason stood up from bed very early, as he had a long day ahead of him. It had been three weeks since Jacob had been released from jail, and just like he had promised, he decided that he would give Jacob an orientation to the family business. Daphne was still very fast asleep when he was done dressing for work. He could not blame her at all. She had been awake for some time during the night to cater to a crying Benjamin. After the nurse left, it had been difficult for her to adjust to taking care of the baby alone. At some point, it was as though she was getting frustrated with the responsibility that she was saddled with and she would start crying. When he noticed that, he would usually offer her a helping hand so that she would not feel abandoned or frustrated. She appreciated his support. It showed in the way she embraced him or the way she kissed him. Jason walked up to the bed and planted a kiss on her forehead, causing her to stir in her sleep. “I'm off to work, baby. You know I
