Jason saw red. This was not the first time that John had extorted money from his grandparents. One time, when Jason had started college, he stole his tuition fees and made away with it.Jason had to work with his grandmother at a company as a janitor, eating insults for food daily. There was a time he got slapped just because the detergent he used did not have the right fragrance. If his wicked uncle stole from them and used it to do worthwhile things, it would be a different story. His uncle came home pleading for forgiveness a month later and of course his soft grandparents forgave their child.This time he would make sure that it would be the last time that John ever came back here for anything.Jason took several breaths to calm himself."Don't worry about the bruise, Jason. I told you, I'll be fine before you know it." His grandfather said.Jason stared at his grandparents knowing fully well that if he did not do something about the situation, that John would most likely come
The man's brows raised at that.He looked at Jason, not bothering to hide the fact that he was sizing him up. His eyes wandered from the cheap jacket Jason was wearing to the cheaper sneakers he was also wearing.He scoffed at Jason before asking him."And if I tell you how much?" "I'll pay you in full." Jason replied, barely holding back."You? You can't even buy yourself decent shoes and you want to pay off a debt." The man replied with a scoff."I can pay you. I assure you." Jason said, ignoring the insult."Please, don't pay him any attention. Does he look like someone that has a job? He doesn't have the means to pay you. Ignore him." His grandfather told the man pulling his wife close to his side.He dabbed away the blood dripping down her face with a handkerchief he took out of his pocket."Jason get back inside and let me take care of this. You are only a child. You don't know what you are talking about." He scolded Jason and tried to pull him away and push him inside but Jaso
Jason's grandfather shook his head at John with great disapproval and dismay."How dare you say such a thing? Jason has been the only one to care for us ever since you ran away with all our savings. There was a time when I prayed and hoped that, one day, you would change. But it seems that I was a fool to wish for such." Jason's grandfather spat, tears filling his eyes as he shook with disappointment.Jason looked at his grandparents and watched as John broke their hearts, whatever hopes they had that he would change was gone. He only wished they would remember this forever and stop letting him back into their lives. John's face scrunched up with hatred as he glared at Jason. "This is all your doing. If you had not come into our lives, this would not have happened." He said as he swayed on his feet, and spat at Jason. Jason wiped away the saliva, disregarding John.The gang leader who seemed to have had enough of their family drama finally mobilized them."Men! We will go into that
Recognition flashed in the eyes of the gang leader when he took notice of the huge man. The man stopped before them with his eyes raking over the thugs with hard eyes. "You look smashing today, Sir." The gang leader said but the huge man ignored him.When the gang leader saw that the man was blatantly ignoring him he then asked,"Sir, what brings you to this side of town? I didn't know that you did business around this area." He asked folding his hands behind him like a child waiting for his mother to discipline him."Yeah, you are usually at the casino by this time of the day." Another gangsters piped up."You shouldn't have stressed yourself coming here. You should have told us and we would have gladly taken care of it." The gang leader added.Before the gang leader could make up an excuse for harassing Jason the man slapped him so hard while wearing heavy brass rings on his fingers, that his head snapped to the side.The gangster's backed away, knowing that the man was not there
"Why?" That was the first word that left Jason's mouth."I'm afraid I can't say, young master." The man replied.Jason grew a bit tense. Did something happen? "When… when is he expecting me?" Jason finally asked."Right now. It was why he sent us over. To escort you to the mansion." "Ok.. it's already late. Give me a few minutes and let me pack some change of clothes." Jason said, not waiting for the man to respond and quickly hurried back to the house.Jason pushed the door open and found only his grandfather in the living room where he had left them earlier."Your grandmother has gone to bed." His grandfather answered the question that was on the tip of his tongue.He nodded and was about to go to his room when his grandfather called him back."Jason…." His grandfather began, uncomfortably.Jason had an idea of what he wanted to tell him. Probably about him not being their biological grandson."About what your uncle John said out their….we can explain. You see your grandmother and
What did he mean that I wasn't going anywhere soon? Jason thought in his head.His eyes widened at the possibilities but he pushed them aside. If they wanted to do something to him they would have done it a long time ago.Jason finally looked at the room. The room itself was more expensive looking than his entire house. The light in the room did not flicker every three seconds like the one in his room back home.He walked to the bed and let his backpack fall on it.The sheets on the bed were pristine and he knew that the blankets that would be brought to him would be way more softer and less scratchy than the one he used at home.There were two other doors in the room apart from the one that he'd just come in from.He knew that one of them would probably lead to a bathroom but where did the other one go?He walked cautiously to the door at the other side of the room and pushed it open and indeed it was the bathroom.There were marbles on the floor and on the counter, infact everywher
Jason sat down on his bed, his thoughts were all over the place. He had just come back from his grandfather's office thirty minutes ago, but he could not remember if he had done anything since then.That is my condition.You'll start working as an intern at the company, Jason.The words his grandfather had spoken to him were still loud in his head.He knew that he had to decide on something soon.Jason wanted answers on what had happened to him and his real parents but he didn't know if Robert would tell him anything if he declined his offer.He sighed heavily with frustration. He needed to distract his mind from what his grandfather had said. He pulled out his phone and was surprised to see that he was tagged on a lot of posts on the school website and all over social media.Luckily it was a Saturday so he didn't have to worry about being stalked when he went to school.He clicked on the first link and what he saw was a shock. There were videos of Hudson running around the school wi
Jason watched as Robert beamed. Clearly, the old man was happy and so was Anna. Although she didn't do anything other than smile at him."That is really good to hear. A great decision, Jason." Robert said.They continued eating and then Robert was called away."So, what made you say yes?" Anna asked when it was just the two of them seated at the table."Excuse me?""Why did you say yes Jason?" She asked again.Jason simply shrugged a shoulder."Is it the money?" Anna asked setting down her cutlery."I already told you before, I don't want your money." Jason told her."That wasn't the case yesterday when you made a transfer of over a million dollars to your school's account." Anna replied.His cheeks reddened."About that…" he began, " I'm sorry I used the money without prior notice." "Don't worry about it. I'm just curious." Anna replied.They both finished their food and Jason called his grandfather.They spoke on the phone for close to thirty minutes. The old man was worried and J
