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

Jason waited patiently for Gustavo in the safehouse, hoping that they were successfully able to ambush Lambert and bring him to the safehouse. "Even if he knows what caused the fire, you very well know that it would not bring back what has been ruined," Laura said to him."That's not the point. I am not trying to bring back what has been ruined. I am only trying to ensure that this accident or whatever it was does not repeat itself," Jason said. He was becoming impatient, as they had been in the safe house for over an hour. It was not long before they heard the sound of a vehicle outside. Jason rushed to look out of the window, and to his relief, it was a red travel van, just like the old man had described.Lambert, his wife, and three children were brought inside the house, with guns pointing at their heads. They were shaken with fear because they probably

At the sound of punishment from Klaus, Caleb's countenance changed immediately, as he knew how cruel Klaus could be to anyone who would dare challenge any member of THE SIX. He had witnessed how Klaus had wiped out an entire family because they attempted to fumble with Rasheed's business in Dubai. "Please, Jason, it has not gotten to that," he pleaded. Even Beverly was surprised at the way he had suddenly brought himself down to beg Jason. "I don't think you deserve any mercy, so just get prepared to take whatever comes your way," Jason stated plainly. "And if you are thinking of pulling off another stunt, then be rest assured that you would be so sorry in the end," he added. Caleb fell on his knees immediately and began to plead this time. In a bit of confusion, Beverly also joined him to beg Jason. She did not know what was going on, but she knew that whatever would make Caleb beg like this had to be something very bad. Jason looked at them on their knees. He never knew that he ha

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
