Rise of The Son in Law

CHAPTER FOUR

Jason questioned the enigmatic caller's message, his voice quivering with a mixture of wonder and scepticism. "What do ypu mean is rightfully mine?" 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 ago cut him off due to his illegitimate birth, was now making an effort to get back in touch with him.

His youth had been plagued by rejection, and the wounds from abandonment never fully healed.

 The caller's remarks had nevertheless offered him a glimmer of optimism, the idea that perhaps there would be explanation, resolution, and possibly a chance for atonement.

Jason strained to stand up from the freezing pavement and began to go in the direction of the Di Maria Hotels. He exhaled a deep breath.

His pulse raced with a mixture of fear and excitement as each step appeared to be a dive into the unknown.

He couldn't help but wonder what surprises the hotel had in store for him, what secrets he would learn, and whether this unexpected turn of events may open the door to a better tomorrow.

When Jason arrived to Di Maria Hotels, he was astounded by what he saw.

In the environment he had just left, where he had been treated as a servant in his own house, the hotel's grandeur and richness stood in sharp contrast. The affluent and privileged frequented Di Maria Hotels as a haven of luxury and to indulge in excess.

The grand chandelier that hung from the high ceiling and shed a gentle, golden glow over the marble floors in the entrance screamed elegance.

The walls were covered with complex paintings and polished brass fittings, which gave the space a classic refinement. The foyer was furnished with lavish velvet sofas and elaborate furniture that invited visitors to unwind in the utmost luxury.

Jason was entranced by the delicate decorations that graced every nook as he made his way through the hotel's spotless halls. An aura of exquisite taste and elegance was created by the priceless artwork that hung on the walls and the aroma of fresh flowers that permeated the air.

The personnel moved gracefully and professionally while clad in immaculately designed uniforms, tending to the demands of the hotel's affluent guests. They were very different from the Hastings family's scornful approach in terms of their nice smiles and demeanour.

The grandeur extended to every aspect of the hotel. The restaurants offered culinary delights from around the world, while the spa promised relaxation and rejuvenation in opulent surroundings.

Even the guest rooms were a testament to luxury, with sumptuous furnishings, breathtaking views, and every amenity one could imagine.

Jason, still in awe of the luxurious surroundings of Di Maria Hotels, was abruptly interrupted by a stern security guard posted near the entrance.

The security man's imposing stature and uniform exuded authority, and his voice boomed as he demanded to know what Jason was doing there.

Startled but eager to explain his purpose, Jason stammered, "I'm here to see someone, in this hotel. I received a call..."

The security guard's hold on his arm tightened before he could complete his sentence, and it appeared like he was preparing to evict Jason from the hotel against his will.

He strained to explain his situation to the security guy as panic swept over him.

But just as he was about to be abruptly ejected from the opulent institution, a tall, attractive man in a well made suit approached.

His commanding appearance alone appeared to elicit respect, and he exuded an air of authority that commanded attention.

The man in the suit commanded, "Stop!" in a voice that tolerated no objections.

The security guard quickly let go of Jason after noticing the authority in the newcomer's demeanour. 

He turned to face the man in the fine clothing, a look of astonishment and respect on his face.

"It's okay," the sharply attired man with the sophisticated demeanour murmured as he turned to face Jason. "I invited him over."

After being humiliated by the experience, the security officer immediately apologised to both Jason and the man in the suit.

He gave Jason a polite nod and then moved away so that Jason could go on with his hotel exploration.

As Jason looked up at the tall figure in the impeccably tailored suit, he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and relief.

Jason, feeling a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, followed the elegantly dressed man who had identified himself as Otis.

As they walked through the corridors of Di Maria Hotels, Jason couldn't help but marvel at the opulence that surrounded him. The extravagance of the hotel seemed to increase with each passing step.

Jason's eyes widened in amazement as they neared the elevator. The glass walls of the elevator, which offered panoramic vistas of the whole hotel as it rose, were a wonder of contemporary engineering.

Jason had the impression that he was in a completely different universe from his prior experiences because of the lavish furnishings and the feeling that he was soaring higher.

When they had last reached the top level, Jason stayed behind Otis, interested by the mysterious reason for their meeting.

Jason couldn't help but wonder what awaited him on the other side of the door that led to Otis's room as it loomed in the distance.

Otis looked to Jason as he approached the door and smiled consolingly. He declared, his voice cool and collected, "We're here."

As Jason envisioned the surprises that would occur behind the walls of that opulent chamber, his curiosity grew even more fervent. 

As Otis opened the door and ushered Jason into the room, Jason was greeted by a sight that left him in awe. The room was a testament to luxury and sophistication, an exquisite blend of modern elegance and timeless charm.

The room, a spacious and opulent suite, was a fusion of modern elegance and timeless charm. Its walls bathed in rich burgundy and gold hues exuded warmth, complemented by tasteful artwork.

Floor-to-ceiling windows provided captivating city views illuminated by the soft glow of city lights. A grand four-poster bed with sumptuous linens stood as the room's centerpiece, inviting relaxation, while a crystal chandelier cast a romantic ambiance.

Plush velvet armchairs and a coffee table graced one corner, while a writing desk bathed in natural light stood near the window. Every detail, from the intricate moldings to the polished hardwood floors, evoked refinement and sophistication.

Jason glanced to Otis while sitting in the opulent lounge and couldn't help but feel a tinge of interest. He had been sent here inexplicably, and he now sought explanations.

"Why was it that I was called here?" Jason inquired in a tone that was both curious and little unsure.

Otis leaned forward with a cool, collected gaze. He remarked somberly, "I hate to inform you that your father has passed away."

Given that Jason had never met or known his father, his response was conflicted. "I see," he said, keeping his feelings in check.

"But Mr. Dilaurentis, that's not the reason you were summoned here," Otis said.

"It's time for you to take back what is properly yours, which is why you were called." he continued.

Jason creased his brow, his interest piqued. "What am I to reclaim? What do you mean?"

Otis sat back in his chair and cracked a little smile. He announced, "You just received all of your father's properties and assets."

Jason's surprised eyes widened. Such news was never anticipated by him. He began to understand the ramifications of this unexpected windfall and saw that his life was going to change drastically.
