"Come on, baby, you have to see the news," Daphne said as she shook Jason awake. He had been back from Russia for three days, and even though their relationship had not been so smooth, he ensured that he was still looking out for her. Jason opened his eyes lazily and looked at the television. Duncan was on the screen and he was being interviewed about his intention of suing the president. This time, Jason did not see the timid man that they saw in Russia. He was fierce, a replica of what he used to be in his former life. This time, he was overcome by rage, his tongue spewing the truth.
Jason smiled as their plan had finally worked. After their trip to Russia, all Laura had to do to make things go public was to send a report to the police. When they saw all the evidence that was presented, they demanded to speak to Duncan directly. He was immediately extracted from the Russian prison and brought back
Sebastian was a simple man who lived in a small home in the country. He had a stable and catered to animals, so it made the air smell different when Jason and Duncan came there. Laura and Gustavo were also with him this time. Duncan offered to knock on the door. It took a while but the door eventually opened up, but there was no one there to signify that someone had opened the door. Gustavo was the first to enter, so he could scan the perimeter for any sign of danger. Before any of them knew what was happening, someone held Gustavo by the neck and pointed a gun to his head, taking all of them unawares. "Who the hell are you?" The person asked Gustavo. "Seb, it's me," Duncan said, coming to his rescue. Sebastian tactfully took out all the arms that Gustavo had on him, from the pistol to the pen knife, the chain, and the cuffs, leaving Gustavo defenseless before he let him in. All his movements were very swift to their amazement. As they entered the house after him, Jason took in the e
There was a smile on Duncan's face when the court proceedings were over, and the president was cuffed and guided to the car. The only advantage he had at this point was that he was carried in a special comfortable police van. Just before the van was shut, Klaus requested to speak to him and he was allowed. He walked towards the car with Jason who was his resident favorite. "Please, Klaus, I promise to fix this as soon as possible," he begged. "Consider this as a farewell from THE SIX because of your carelessness," Klaus was adamant about his plea. "Also, this special police vehicle would be the last honorable discharge that you will ever receive," he added before he turned around and left."I hear they arranged a special cell for you in the prison, but I honestly wish that they would send you to Russia, so you can see how cruel people are treated," Jason said to his face. It was at this time that rea
"I can't do that," Jason said as he pulled away from her immediately. She was asking because she knew that he had the funds and connections to do so if he wanted. "It's my father that we are talking about here. If you say that you love me, then you –," "Don't even go there with that emotional blackmail," he warned. "Just because I say that I love you does not mean that I can do such a thing for you." "And why not?" She asked him as she grabbed a towel and tied it around her naked body. He was irritated by her sense of entitlement but he would not say anything.He wanted to tell her that it was because her father was part of the people who killed his father, the same people who were intent on ending his life as well, and taking over every iota of his inheritance. "Your father got what he deserved," he said instead. "You saw the news and you saw the horrible things that he did, so this should not
Jason was a bit skeptical about attending the next meeting of THE SIX. He was told that Arthur, Klaus' father, was going to be in attendance. As much as he wanted to see the man, he was also feeling very uncomfortable about it. He eventually decided that he was going to go nevertheless. He asked Gustavo to get some of his men to escort him for extra protection. He decided to meet Laura on his way out as she was in her home office. "I think we should start working from the company building beginning next month. My house is almost looking like an office with staff members trooping in and out of here every day for one reason or the other," he said as he got inside."I second that," Laura said without looking up from the work she was doing. "I think it's time that we allow your home to become a home for real this time." "I need my wife to be able to move around freely. She has just been trapped in that p
"Angelina cannot be your next target in THE SIX," Laura said defiantly as she sat back on her chair. They were back at the company and were no longer working from the mansion. Daphne had asked for his permission to change the decor of the entire house so it could look very homely, like their home."Why not?" Jason asked her. "This woman threatened to sniff around and kill me in the past meeting," he said. "That's the thing. If anything happens to you, she will be held responsible, and if anything happens to her, you will be held responsible, and trust me when I say that it is going to link them to all the events that have been going on. It's suspicious enough that since you joined them, all their activities have been going haywire. Maxwell suspects you. Angelina suspects you. Who else would join the train soon? It will just be a matter of time before Klaus knows that you are behind it all." Jason was seeing some sense in what she was spewing and it was obvious that he had not thought
Jason quickly retrieved Daphne's coat and covered her up with it as she leaned against his. "Can you please give us a minute?" He asked Jasmine who still stood transfixed at the door, as though she had just seen a ghost. She stepped out and closed the door after her. "What did she come here for?" Daphne asked him. "I thought you had an assistant and secretary, so why did they not send a message to you first?""First, I have no idea what she is doing here. They all know that Jasmine is my friend and she does not need an appointment to see me," he answered. "I think she should start booking an appointment henceforth so that my nudity would not be on display next time," she said as she pulled the coat over her. Jason helped her do the buttons. "Are you jealous?" He asked her. "I am not jealous. I'm simply marking my territory because I know that both of you have history and you feel indebted to her. I have not also forgotten the discussion I heard the other night, about her wanting a chi
"The new tank farms are on fire!" She finally announced, and Jason could swear that his soul left his body. He could not believe his ears at all. He had begun to establish new tank farms to store oil with the Qatar business partners that he had contracted with six months ago. It was such a humongous project that they were hesitant to invest at first. When he showed them what his father had achieved in the oil business, they eventually decided to give it a try. They had invested billions of dollars into the business, and it had kicked off successfully.The news was like a big blow to his face, as he had no idea what he was going to say to his partners. He was also thinking of the huge debt that he was in at the moment. He placed his hands on his head in confusion and let out a scream. He paced about angrily, as he did not know what to do at the moment. "I can't believe this!" He growled as he finally took a
For the first time, Jason called for a meeting of THE SIX. It was usually one of the privileges allocated to the members of THE SIX. Anyone could arrange for a meeting if there was any pressing issue that needed to be tackled. He used the location that they had used the previous time, and he was the first to arrive at the venue. Evian arrived next, as it was an emergency. It was his nature to be late to meetings. When Angelina came in, Jason wanted to punch her in the face but he remembered that violence was not allowed. The other members soon came in and Klaus was the last to come. "What is the reason for calling us all out here?" Klaus asked Jason pointedly, as he wanted to go straight to the point. Jason stood up before he began to speak. No one stood up to speak so it was surprising to them all. "You all must have heard about my tank farms that were razed to the ground," he began and they all nodded, except Angelina. She had decided not to look at him at all, and Jason thought th
