"Tell me everything," Laura requested the moment he got into the house. She barely came down to the ground floor of the mansion but this time, she had even waited for him to get back. Part of the reason was that she was tensed that he might not make it alive. But she knew that at the end of the day, Klaus would not want to kill Jason so easily without ensuring that he took what he wanted, bit by bit of his inheritance away from him. "The video that I sent you should do most of the explaining," he said to her as he proceeded to the elevator.

"I bet there is more information," Laura said enthusiastically. Jason had never seen anyone who was so needy for information as she was, but he loved that she was always on edge. He took his time and explained every single thing that had happened, and even played the recording of Christine, the lady who was with him on the dock. Thinking about it now, he wondered how an accomplice to such a heinous crime would answer a name like Christine. "Good t

    The moment the gun was pointed at Jason was the same moment Gustavo and all his men pointed their guns at Christine. Jason lifted his hands in surrender with an obvious dread in his eyes. "Turn around you idiot," Christine ordered Jason. He did so very slowly, not having any intention to provoke her further. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw that she was the one. "You thought that I was gone, right?" She asked him as she chuckled wryly. "I always knew there was something off about you the moment I set my eyes on you. You gave me more reason to suspect you when you requested food and clothes for the children. I intentionally made sure that you were gone before I headed back for the ship, hoping you would eventually come back. Right now, I cannot believe that I was right after all." "I think you should drop your weapon. These men would not hesitate to bore holes in you if they notice any movement from you," Jason said, his voice still shaking with trepidation. She laughed hyster

    Jason headed for the location that Klaus had sent him, but not without sharing the same location with Gustavo, so he would be some kind of support in case anything went wrong. As he approached the place, he was beginning to notice that Klaus had officially sent him the invitation to his house, which was a mansion in the middle of a heavily secured thicket that had controlled animals loitering. He finally got to the mansion and was directed to Klaus' chambers. He knocked on the door and it opened up for him immediately. Just as he expected, Klaus was fuming with rage when he got into the chambers. He was surprised to also see Caleb and Fred there. The other members of the six had their faces on a screen, and it took Jason some seconds to realize that they were in a virtual meeting concerning what had gone wrong. "What went wrong with the order that you processed?" Klaus growled at Jason immediately, fuming with rage. Jason was unhinged as he already expected it. "I wish I knew what yo

    "And who the hell is Arthur?" Jason asked as he looked up at her. She went ahead to take a seat and lifted her elbows to the desk before she spoke. "I told you about him before. He is the real leader of THE SIX," she answered him. "So what about Klaus? Who the hell is he?" "Klaus is Arthur's grandson, the only offspring of his that was willing to work for him in the clan," Laura explained. "What do I have to do to meet Arthur?" Jason asked after a brief silence. She let out a wry chuckle before she spoke. "Arthur is a very powerful man. If you think that Klaus is powerful and dangerous, then you should wait until you meet Arthur. He was the founder of THE SIX.He is the kind of man who has at least fifty bodyguards guarding him at the same time. Aside from that, he has a mini zoo in his mansion, with two leopards in it." As Laura did a description, Jason listened with a dropped jaw. He could not possibly believe his ears at all. "Whenever he has an offender, the best way he unleashes

    Jason stood in the elevator wondering who the special guest was. The elevator was transparent, and he would see whoever it was before he got to the ground floor. The person was standing facing the wall, but of course, he could point out that figure from a crowd even though he was blindfolded. Once the elevator doors dinged open, Caleb turned around immediately with a subtle smile. His hands were in his pocket as he looked around, fully impressed by the interior of the mansion that could pass for a holiday resort or even a very fancy hotel. "I see that you have done so well for yourself, Jason," Caleb began, his hands still in his pocket as he walked to Jason. "How did you locate this place?" Jason asked, already seething with rage. "Let's just say that it is not so difficult to know where the youngest richest billionaire, and the most eligible bachelor in the state lives," Caleb said. "Who even let you in here?" Jason asked again. "I told them that I am from Klaus, and they let

    "Jacob, someone is at the door!!" Jasmine hollered from her bedroom as she pulled her duvet off her and proceeded to slide into her flip-flops. She headed to her closet to look for something decent to put on before she went out of her room. It was Sunday and she usually did not go to work but stayed home to rest. She was not expecting any visitors at first and it left her wondering who was at the door by this early hours of dawn. She soon got into decent clothes and proceeded to go downstairs. As she did, she heard a familiar voice already chatting with Jacob. It had been a month since she set eyes on Jason, and she had not bothered to check up on him as she thought that he was going to be very busy with his new marriage. When she appeared from the staircase, Jason lifted his head to see her. She had on a pair of shorts and a tank top over her petite curvy frame, and her hair was in a ponytail, with some of it falling in bangles around her face. "What are you doing here?" She aske

    "It's been a while. I was only waiting for the day that you would rat me out to Klaus," Jason said with a mischievous smile at the corner of his lips. Jasmine strained to hear whatever he was saying over the phone. "I would have loved to continue with this joke but there is a delivery happening tonight," she said to him. His interest spiked up immediately and he looked at Jasmine and signaled her to give him some time. She waved to signal to him that it was fine. "Tell me about it," he instructed her. "It's cocaine. About twenty thousand pounds is being transported tonight, making a ludicrous amount of millions of dollars," she said. She was not done yet. "Klaus cocaine is not an ordinary one. His is a special kind that causes one to be addicted right from the first sniff. If one is not too used to cocaine, it has a high tendency to kill you on the first sniff as well. It leaves you wondering if it is the money that he wants or the blood of his victims. Klaus has been a cunny man sin

    The moment Alex gave the order for the cargo to be transported, Gustavo instructed all his men to lay low. They all watched Alex get into his car and drive off. "Is it time yet?" Christine asked Gustavo through the walkie-talkie that she had latched to her blouse. "Of course not. We wait for at least six hours," Gustavo said. "At that time, the cargo is far from the land and external rescue cannot easily meet up."Jason glanced at his wristwatch. It was 9 pm and he promised Jasmine that she was going to come spend the night at her place. Six hours meant that he was going to leave in the early hours of the morning. As though she read his mind, Jasmine began to call his phone. He answered immediately. "Where are you?" She asked him. "I don't know if I can make it before midnight, but I will be there by the early hours of the morning," he explained to her. "I should have thought about this earlier," she said. "You are so unbelievable," she added before she hung up. Jason looked at the p

    Jason's eyes fluttered open when the sun's rays hit his eyes. He tried to sit up but the sharp pain on his arm caused him to fall back on the bed with a loud groan. He kept his eyes open as he tried to remember where he was. He looked at his hand and there was an intravenous infusion attached to it. The site of his injury had already been cleaned up and bandaged properly so that the pain was not as gruesome as he felt before. He was still trying to figure out where he was when the door opened and Jasmine walked in with someone. "You are finally awake," she said, hands akimbo. "How long has it been?" He asked her. "Two days, but the doctor has removed the bullet and you are fine now," she answered him. Jason's eyes widened in shock on hearing that he had been lying in the bed for two days. He quickly fumbled around for his phone in his pocket until he realized that he was not in the same clothes as he wore the night of the shootout. "Did you change my clothes?" He asked her. "Of cour

    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
