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
Alex's eyes fluttered open in the hospital ward the moment the nauseating smell hit him. He looked around him and all that he could see was different hospital machines connected to him. The shootout had been so gruesome, and the last thing that he remembered was being dumped in the hospital. Ever since then, no one has come to see him. Klaus had only sent him a message once, telling him that he was going to pay dearly for messing up the business deal and taking chances. He looked outside the window at the other end and it was raining so heavily that the rain splattered against the glass windows. There was also a thunderstorm to go with it as well, and Alex shivered. The smell grew more nauseating, and Alex could not control it anymore. He attempted to stand up but the pain that he felt from a fractured rib cage, and three gunshot wounds that were lodged very close to his muscles made the pain unbearable. Even though the bullets had already been pulled out, it was obvious that he woul
Jason was nervous as he waited for Klaus in his living room. It was the first time that he was going to see Klaus since the incident, as he had been avoiding him under the guise of having a business meeting. The news of Alex's death had spread like wildfire, but in the end, nobody knew who was behind it. Jason had cleaned up so well after him, and even the surveillance camera could not detect who it was as he was well covered. When Laura had announced the death of Alex to him, he had acted surprised as though he had just heard it for the first time. "At least he got what he deserved." That was the only thing that he said to Laura, and he knew it got her suspicious of him because of the way that Alex was rumored to have died, the same way Abbott had died. Klaus' assistant came out to meet Jason, who sat sipping on a glass of wine. "My master says that you should come into his private chamber," his assistant announced. Jason stood up immediately and followed the manager to meet Klaus.
Jason picked up the phone with a start the moment he saw the message, and read it again. Klaus saw the worry in his eyes and knew that something was wrong. "Are you okay?" Klaus asked him. Jason looked up at him, and without saying a word, he stood up and dashed out of the chambers immediately and sped downstairs. As he drove out of Klaus' mansion in a frenzy, he thought about Daphne, and for the first time in a long time, he felt pity for her and only wanted everything to go well. He tried to calculate things in his head, and it occurred to him that Daphne was not nine months gone. She was still in her seventh month.Even though he did not like her so much, he never overlooked the fact that it was his first child that she was carrying, so he made it a point of duty to keep a track record. It only worried him that the baby might be premature. At a loss of where he was headed, he decided to give Laura a call. She answered on the first ring and she was panicking. "Where are you guys?" H
