Rise Of The Penniless Trillionaire Chapter 168
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

Jason looked intently at her as he searched for an answer to give to her. He had said that in the spur of the moment, and thinking about it, he meant it to some extent. He was thinking of Jasmine at this point and the things that he had told her about Daphne being a mere distraction to their being together. "Do you love me?" Daphne asked him again with a faint voice, and he looked up at her with a small smile, her hand still wrapped in his. "You gave me my first child, so of course, I love you," he answered her. He did not know if he had given her the answer because he wanted her to feel better, but he did not feel so bad saying something like that to her. She smiled so brightly at him, and it went a long way to display her extent of contentment at his answer. "Have you seen our baby?" She asked him again in a faint voice. "Of course, I have seen him. You gave us a beautiful boy, Daphne. You made me a father and I love you so much for it," he said as he leaned in and kissed her on th

Without another word to Jasmine, Jason rushed into the hospital immediately and headed for the infant ward immediately. He stood behind the glass as he watched the doctor and the nurses surrounding the incubator that nurtured his son. He watched them closely with folded arms, but that was not how his mind was. His mind was in a haze, endlessly thinking and hoping that his son would survive. He saw a nurse pick the child up, cradled him in her arms, and took him through another door within the ward and shit it after her. The doctor came out of the ward and walked up to Jason. "Is the child still alive?" Jason asked him, not sure if he wanted to hear the news or not. "He is premature and the chances are slim, but we will do whatever we can. We just discovered a hole in his heart, and we are well aware of the conditions that may have led to it. The prematurity is part. The doctor's voice trailed and all Jason could think about at that time was what he was going to do if he lost the chil

Jason entered the doctor's office and took a seat while he fidgeted. Laura said that she would be waiting outside for him in case he needed anything. He only hoped that it was not going to be a shoulder to cry on. The doctor headed out of the washroom with a towel in his hand and came to sit down. "We managed to preserve your child," the doctor announced to him, and Jason saw himself letting out a sigh of relief. "However, he would have to be dependent on oxygen for the first year of his life, so that his lungs would not be overstressed and cause another complication."Jason did not expect things to be easy considering that the child was premature as well. He would have to deal with whatever was tossed at them. If he wanted to do so, then he would be of much support to Daphne. It was as though a sense of responsibility had suddenly dawned on him and he was suddenly seeing things from a better perspective. "Do we have to keep him in the hospital?" Jason asked as he was concerned about

It had been three weeks since they got home from the hospital, and Jason had not set his eyes on Jasmine or heard from her at all. He had been trying to reach her, but she had only been communicating with him about work through email. Today was not an exception. As he came to spend time with Daphne and Benjamin in the suite, she sent an email again. He had ordered that his private suite should be converted into a nursery, so he and Daphne could stay with the baby as well. The doctor had told them that it was not safe for the baby to be left all alone and they had heeded accordingly. They took turns spending time with the baby as the nurse was not usually around for the entire day. She had taken her time to teach them how to use the nasal catheters for the baby. She had also taught them how the oxygen worked, and the basic ways to feed their child. She had gone the extra mile of teaching them resuscitation measures as well in case the child ever stopped breathing. Daphne and Jason had

Jason did not know if it was because of the gravity of her request, or if it was because of his lack of expectation of the request, but he knew that he was shocked at her request. "What are you saying?" He asked her. "Do you know what it takes to have a baby? "From what I remembered, it was quite easy for you and Daphne," she said to him. "Remember that I was in the house when you both were fucking around the place," she added. He knew that this day would come when she would use his mistakes against him, but he wanted to focus more on the situation at hand. Loving Jasmine was suddenly looking like a debt, as though he intended to repay a huge favor that she had lent him in the past. "Come on Jaz. Benjamin can barely even breathe, so I don't think that it is the right time for me to have another baby, especially from another woman who is not my wife. It is a big deal," he said. "Well, rub it on my face that I am not your wife, even though I wonder why you keep professing feelings that

The gate was finally opened and the presidential entourage of over five Rolls Royce Phantoms drove into the compound. Jason was not surprised at all. It was an official visit and he knew that the president would love to make an appearance. Three uniformed men got out first and scanned the perimeter for any sign of danger. Jason did not think that there was any need, as it was his daughter's matrimonial home that he was visiting. He did not think so much about their protocol, though. When they were done with the scan, they proceeded to open up the second car. The president first stepped out. Miranda was already with her phone in the corner on a live feed to her social media followers. He then held out his hand and a more beautiful older version of Daphne stepped out of the car with a big smile as she held onto his hand. Daphne was indeed a spitting image of her mom, and Jason knew that he would still have a beautiful woman by his side in old age. He almost slapped himself when he foun

Jason headed upstairs to go be with Daphne and Benjamin, but Laura met him on the way. She grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into her home office. "What does the president want?" She asked him in hushed tones, as though they were not in a soundproof room. "He is suspecting me concerning the death of Alex, but I am not sure that he has proof yet. I ensured that there were no loose ends," Jason answered. However, it was obvious that he was shaking with trepidation, and Laura understood where his fears came from. "If he is suspicious of you, then I don't think that he is the only one who suspects you. Maybe Klaus is looking for the best time to strike," Laura said. They were silent for a while, as though she was thinking of what to do. "When are they leaving?" She asked him. "They said that they are spending the night.""They cannot spend the night. You cannot allow it," Laura said. "You expect me to go tell them that now?""You have to come up with an excuse because there are t

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
