Jason sat in the middle of my living room, waiting for Otis to come pick him up so they could both go clubbing.

Staying in was messing with his mind and he kept thinking about Lisa and how hurt she'd looked when he'd practically insinuated that he would be sleeping with Miss Ashton.

He felt bad about his choice of words and actions and he'd felt like this since he left the office. He'd seen her living with Daniel and he'd gotten pissed momentarily but had instantly gotten over it.

He knew that Daniel wasn't a threat. She had a boyfriend after all, one he hated with a raging passion.

The doorbell rang and Jason stood up and went to answer it, holding up his hand to stop the maid that was about to.

He opened the door and frowned when he saw who was at the door.

Celia Daniels.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Jason growled, glaring at her with hatred in his eyes.

He couldn't believe her audacity coming to his house after what she had done to destroy his friendship with her husband.

    A tray of empty wine glasses was delicately balanced in Jason's hands as he glided smoothly among the partygoers while wearing a sharp black waiter's outfit.The visitors mixed and spoke while donning their best gear in the lavishly decorated space. Grandpa Hastings' one-year memorial celebration was marked with a sombre yet lavish gathering.Jason's demeanour radiated humility as he gathered the visitors' empty wine glasses. He was aware of his role in this gathering—serving the illustrious Hastings family, his inlaws. He quickly scanned the space to make sure he didn't overlook any glasses that needed to be cleared.He moved to the kitchen with practised precision, intending to put the glasses in the dishwasher. His mother-in-law, Mrs. Julia Hastings, rushed into the room with an air of extravagance, breaking up his peaceful moment.She was dressed in an exquisite gown with lavish embroidery that highlighted her position."What on earth do you think you're doing?"

    Jason's initial shock and confusion gave way to a burning need for answers. Determined to confront Alison, Julia, and William, he dropped his waiter's napkin and began to make his way through the jubilant, cheering crowd. However, his path was abruptly blocked by Eric, who stepped in front of him, an arrogant smirk playing on his lips. Frustration boiled within Jason as he demanded, "Eric, move out of the way! I need to speak to Alison. I need to know what this means." Eric, his mocking grin widening, retorted, "You? You don't get to talk to her. Go back to your work station, Jason. You're nothing here." Jason's patience, already worn thin, snapped. In a moment of fiery defiance, he pushed Eric aside, determined to reach his wife and get the answers he sought. Eric, fueled by his own arrogance and disdain, responded with a forceful shove of his own. The room seemed to hold its breath as tension escalated, and then, in an explosive burst of anger and frustration, Jason and Eric bega

    The next morning, Jason awoke in his bedroom, the once-familiar surroundings now feeling eerily empty and cold. The room had become a stark reflection of the fractured state of his marriage with Alison, as they had stopped sharing a room when her attitude had changed. With a tired yawn, Jason stretched and prepared to start his day. However, as he glanced around the room, he noticed that something was amiss. The room looked unusually barren. His senses went on high alert as he stood up and opened his wardrobe, only to find it completely empty. A sense of foreboding began to creep over him. In a state of growing confusion, Jason began to check the other drawers in his room, but they, too, were devoid of his personal belongings. Even his bathroom, once filled with his toiletries and personal items, now appeared as though he had never occupied the space. Panic welled up within him as he couldn't comprehend what was happening. He needed answers, and he needed them fast. Determined

I inquired."I've been sent by Mr. Montgomery, your father," the caller said while retaining an ambiguous tone.When his father was mentioned, the man who had left him because of his illegitimate origin, Jason couldn't help but be shocked. He couldn't help but wonder, "Why is my father sending for me now, after all these years?" as his thoughts raced with questions.The caller continued evasive while stating, "When you come, all your questions will be answered. I'll see you at the Di Maria Hotels."As he ended the call, Jason's thoughts were consumed by a whirlwind of emotions. Jason sat on the concrete, his mind racing with concerns and emotions. The call he had just received from an unknown person claiming to be from Mr. Montgomery, his father, had perplexed and intrigued him.He couldn't help but wonder why his father, who had long ag

    Jason was sitting in the lavish suite at Di Maria Hotels when his mind began to race with a flurry of ideas and feelings.The news that he had inherited his father's enormous riches and the job of CEO at Montgomery Enterprise stunned him. He had just learned of the passing of his father, a man he had never met.About his half-brother Steve, he couldn't help but wonder. What had caused him to leave the family company and nearly wreck it? Jason was troubled by the knowledge that Steve had left a gap that needed to be addressed."But Steve, what about him?" With anxiety in his voice, Jason enquired. "He's the legitimate son. Shouldn't he have a claim to the company and our father's wealth?" he continued.Otis, the elegant and enigmatic man who had delivered this life-altering news, leaned back in his chair, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "Steve left the company of his own accord," Otis explained."He abandoned his responsibilities and nearly drove Montgomery Enterprise to bankrupt

    William and Alison sat in the cozy corner of El Mayors restaurant, their plates adorned with delectable dishes. The ambiance was one of sophistication, with soft, ambient lighting casting a warm glow over their table. Alison's affection for William was evident as she covered his cheek with playful kisses, a mischievous glint in her eyes. William chuckled at Alison's display of affection. "You're in quite the cheerful mood today," he remarked, his eyes crinkling with amusement. Alison grinned mischievously, her lips still tingling from the numerous kisses she'd planted on his cheek. "Well, someone is finally taking me shopping," she replied, emphasizing the word "finally" with a playful pout. William laughed heartily, nodding in agreement. "Yes, yes, I've surrendered to your relentless shopping demands. But you do deserve it, my dear." Alison's eyes sparkled with delight as she leaned closer to William. "You're absolutely right. And besides, after three long years with Jason, I th

Before speaking, she nervously cleared her throat. "There is a lady come to see you, sir."Jason arched his eyebrow in a curious manner.Anyone coming to see him was uncommon, especially considering how he had no family and friends.He made the decision to go down the Montgomery mansion's grand staircase to see who it was since he was interested by the unexpected guest.His eyes landed on the guest as he got downstairs and a wave of astonishment and outrage swept over him.The same woman who publicly humiliated him at the workplace and made fun of him for his appearance was t

    Jason eyes bored into Lisa's head as they rode the elevator up to the twentieth floor.Seeing Lisa with hier boyfriend made him upset not because he liked her but because he didn't think he was good enough for her, at least that was what he told himself. The truth was that he was jealous not to mention confused as to when she found herself a boyfriend. Just yesterday, she was dancing in the park with him and now she had gotten herself a boyfriend?He not only didn't like him, He thought he was an asshole with a the personality of a street urchin. He couldn't understand what the fuck an elegant woman like Lisa could possibly see in a man like that.Lisa could feel Jason's eys boring through her skull from behindShe held her breath as he tension in the elevator thickened. She was trying not to turn around because she knew exactly what she'd meet, Jason's angry eyes.She didn't know what was going through his head but whatever it was couldn't possibly be good, not with the way he was

    The smell of coffee, lattes and french fries invaded Jason's nostrils causing his stomach to growl out in anticipation as he stepped into McDonald's.The place was sparsely packed. On one side of the hall were a bunch of highschoolers talking loudly and playing music and on the other side were a few working class men and women, some eating alone, others eating with one or more people.As his eyes continued to scan the place, they landed on a familiar frame.Lisa.Jason raised a confused eyebrow and shook his head in amusement until he noticed the man that was seated across from her.A frown crossed his features when he realized who the man was.Without thinking his actions through, he walked up to them and offered a smile and called out Lisa by her name. Lisa who'd been engrossed in her conversation with Kole glanced up at him, her eyes widening when she saw him."Sir, Hi, what are you doing here?" She asked.Jason's smile didn't quite reach his eyes as he spoke."Just came to get l

    Jason hopped in his car as soon as he left Lisa's house and drove home.For some reason he was angry at her for not telling him about her boyfriend. He also felt embarrassed.This had to be the worst Christmas ever.First, it was William and Celia and then Lisa.Deciding not to dwell on either situation, he plugged in his aux and began to play some Christmas music.Jason got home to an empty house. His Christmas tree was up and so were his lights but he felt a loneliness that he hadn't felt in a long time.The memory of the first time he'd spent Christmas with Hastings flashed in his mind.It had been a perfect Christmas, one of the few Christmases he'd had in a while. It was also his first Christmas with Allison, thinking about now, she was far different from what she was in those first few years of marriage while grandpa Hastings was alive."Sir, there's food in the kitchen if you want some." A voice startled him from his thoughts.He glanced at the intruder that had disrupted his

    *We can always drink tap water." Jason shrugged."Tap water?" Lisa gasped, scrunching up her nose as if he'd said something that was absolutely taboo."Yes, I don't mind, do you?"Lisa blinked, she knew her boss came from humble beginnings but tap water? He really hasn't changed since the first time they met."Don't look so shocked, I've drunk worse.""There's something worse than tap water?" Lisa blurted out. Her boss never ceased to amaze her. He looked so much like his father that sometimes she forgot that they had grown up in completely different words with one of them struggling all his life and the other living in luxury. His father would have never drank tap water."Trust me, there is." Jason said in a tone that suggested that she didn't even want to know the worse things. "Where do you keep your glasses?""Over here." Lisa handed him a glass cup, their hands touched for a brief moment and both of them stood gazing at each other longingly for a brief moment before Jason cleared

    Laughter filled the room as Lisa won the third game of chess."How on earth are you doing this?" Jason asked, eyes wide in bewilderment and confusion.He was both impressed and confused by the skills of his secretary. This was a side of her that he'd never seen and he liked it. Almost a bit too much but also he felt just a tad silly for only being able to beat her once after bragging about how good he was to her.*I'm just that good," Lisa shrugged playfully as she popped two peanuts into her mouth."Nah, there has to be something, you are cheating!"Lisa couldn't help but laugh at her Boss's silly attempt to pin her wins on her cheating."Or you are just not as good as you thought you were.*Lisa smiled. She had been smiling so hard through out the game, not because she was winning—evem though it was part of the reason— but because she was enjoying her time with Jason.He was funny and helpful and his presence alone made her feel just a little bit less alone."Yeah, yeah whatever."

    "A set up?" Jason blinked at Lisa's deduction."I'm just speculating but what are the odds that he would come back just in time to find you and his wife kissing?"Jason ran his hands through his hair as he thought about it. What could William possibly gain from severing their contract and friendship. It just didn't make much sense to him."I don't know but I can't think of any reason for him to want to set me up. We were both benefiting from our collaboration, so I don't see it."Jason replied."That's fair, just be careful with anything relating to business from now on." Lisa advised. She knew she was being a little paranoid but she couldn't help but be worried about Jason. She'd been in business long enough to know things like this happend every time, she also knew that Jason needed someone to watch out for him."Thank you Lisa." Jason answered.They were both quiet for a while, each one of them in their own thoughts.Lisa felt sorry for her boss and at the same time paranoid. Wil

    Chapter 52Lisa walked back into her living room carrying a tray of hot cocoa, one for her and one for Jason.She'd not expected him here and it seemed that he didn't plan to be here either."Thank you." Jason said as Lisa handed him his cup."You are welcome."Lisa gave a noncommittal smile and sat beside him, staring at him, still bewilderd by his sudden visit. As far as she knew, he was supposed to be having Christmas dinner with George.She stayed quiet for a while, waiting for Jasn to have a taste of the hot Cocoa."Do you have anything stronger?" Jason asled after downing half the cup.Lisa blinked, surprised by his words."Is everything okay with you, Jason" She asked, scanning Jasns face.It was a silly question because his face was a dead give away that he was anything but okay but Lisa thought it was polite to ask before jumping into conclusions."No, Lisa, I am not." He answered, his tone caught between harsh and on the verge of tears.Also had no idea what to say to his v
