Rise of The Son in Law CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
Alison's eyes brimmed with confusion and frustration as she faced her mother, seeking a clearer explanation for the life-altering decision they were about to make."What do you mean, leave Ravens-wood?" Alison questioned, her voice laced with disbelief. "This is our home, Mom. Where would we go?"Julia, wearied by the weight of the revelations and the crumbling facade of their once-privileged life, responded with a somber determination. "Alison, there's no other way. We have to leave, at least until the storm settles."As mother and daughter grappled with the harsh reality, Jason, the orchestrator of this public unveiling, overheard their conversation. He approached with a smirk, reveling in the chaos he had unleashed."Well, well, I never thought I'd see the day the mighty Hastings would tuck tail and run," Jason taunted, his laughter echoing in the tense atmosphere.Alison shot him a withering glare, her frustration bubbling to the surface. "This is all your doing, isn't it? Ruining

Jason pushed himself off the couch, his thoughts a chaotic mix of concern and curiosity. Whatever this issue was, it threatened the stability he had worked so hard to achieve.As he hastily dressed, Jason's mind churned with questions. Who could have accessed his company account? Was it a result of his recent actions against the Hastings, or was this a more insidious threat? The echoes of the night's revenge lingered, now overshadowed by the immediate challenge that demanded his attention.With each passing minute, the urgency of the situation intensified. Jason's mansion, once a symbol of his triumph, now felt like a fortress under siege. He glanced at himself in the mirror, the weariness in his eyes replaced by a steely resolve. The events of the night were still fresh, but a new chapter had begun—one that posed a threat to the very foundation of his success.In thirty minutes, Jason found himself striding into Ravenswood Bank, the imposing facade a stark contrast to the opulence

The creaky door of the old house opened with a reluctant groan as Jason stepped inside. Dust particles danced in the air, catching the feeble rays of sunlight that managed to penetrate the worn curtains. Nostalgia enveloped him as he walked through the dimly lit hallway, each creaking floorboard whispering stories of the past.In one room, the walls adorned with faded wallpaper, Jason's eyes fell upon a weathered family portrait. A younger version of himself, alongside his mum, smiled back at him frozen in a moment of joy. It triggered a specific memory—one that lingered in the recesses of his mind.He remembered a sunny Sunday afternoon, the laughter of childhood friends echoing through the neighborhood. Jason, with his mop of unruly hair, rallied his companions for an adventure. The destination: the grand treehouse in the backyard.As he retraced his steps down the narrow hallway, Jason's mind flashed back to that day. They climbed the sturdy wooden ladder, excitement bubbling

Jason turned his gaze towards the entrance, this time greeted by the sight of Lisa, his trusted employee and confidante. A subtle surprise flickered in his eyes; the unexpected guests tonight were certainly keeping him on his toes. "Lisa," Jason welcomed her, gesturing for her to join the conversation. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this late-night visit?" Lisa, dressed in her professional attire, offered a small apologetic smile. "Sorry for coming by unannounced, Mr. Jason. I've been digging into the recent theft situation, and I think I might have a lead." Jason's curiosity heightened. He motioned for her to continue, "A lead? Well, don't keep me in suspense. Who do you suspect?" Lisa took a deep breath before revealing her findings. "I've been scrutinizing the financial records, and there's a pattern that caught my attention. It seems someone close to the core team has been siphoning off funds subtly over the past few months." Jason's eyes narrowed, absorbing the gravity of

Just as their lips were about to meet in a fiery embrace, the delicate ambiance was shattered by the unmistakable sound of shattering glass. A lone whiskey glass, caught in the intensity of the moment, slipped from Lisa's hand and crashed onto the floor, echoing in the quiet room. Lisa gasped, breaking the spell. "Oh, Jason, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to—" Jason, momentarily taken aback, quickly composed himself. "No need to apologize, Lisa. It's just a glass. No harm done." Yet, the spell was broken. The momentary lapse had dissipated the charged atmosphere, leaving behind a sense of awkwardness. Jason sighed, raking a hand through his hair. "Well," he said, feigning a casual tone, "I guess it's getting late. We should both get some rest. Tomorrow is a new day." Lisa nodded, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. "You're right. Tomorrow is a new day." They rose from their seats, the unspoken tension still lingering between them. With a polite goodnight, they retreated to their r

Lisa, feeling a twinge of jealousy as she watched Jason and Samantha, found herself lost in thought. Daniel, a co-worker she had known for a while, approached her desk, sensing her distraction."Hey, Lisa," Daniel said with a friendly smile. "I've been trying to catch your attention. Got a minute?"Lisa, still somewhat preoccupied, looked up and forced a smile. "Sure, Daniel. What's up?"Daniel, taking a deep breath, seemed a bit nervous. "Well, I've been thinking, and I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me. You know, on a date."Lisa, surprised by the sudden proposition, blinked a few times before responding. "Oh, um, a date? Like, a real date?"Daniel chuckled nervously. "Yeah, exactly. I thought we could go to the amusement park this weekend. What do you say?"Lisa hesitated for a moment, glancing over at Jason's office, but then she sighed and decided to go for it. "Sure, why not? Amusement parks can be fun."Daniel's face lit up with a smile. "Great! It's a date then. I'

Lisa's heart raced as she hastily ended the call with Jason, panic gripping her in a moment of impulsive fear. As the line went silent, she realized she couldn't escape the consequences of her accidental revelation. A notification popped up on her phone screen, signaling a new text from Jason."Why did you call?" his message read, straight to the point.Lisa's fingers trembled as she typed out a hurried response, "Sorry, it was an accident. Didn't mean to call."Seconds felt like minutes as Lisa anxiously awaited Jason's reply. The blue bubble appeared, indicating his message was on the way. "Alright," Jason's response was terse, leaving Lisa with a mix of relief and lingering apprehension.She lay back on her bed, staring up at the ceiling, taking a deep breath to steady her nerves. In the soft glow of her room, she reflected on the chain of events she had set in motion.Lisa wondered if she had made the right decision by retracting the call, or if honesty, even accidental, was the b

The room crackled with tension as Samantha's hand made contact with Lisa's cheek in a resounding slap.The sharp sound echoed through the office, capturing the attention of anyone within earshot. Lisa recoiled, her hand instinctively flying to her stinging cheek. The unexpected assault left her momentarily stunned.Samantha, her eyes ablaze with fury, unleashed a torrent of angry words. "You think you can just make up lies about me? You're delusional!"Lisa, fueled by a mix of shock and indignation, couldn't let Samantha's accusations stand unchallenged. "I'm not making this up! I saw you, Samantha. I saw you with another man!"The exchange quickly escalated as words turned into a heated confrontation. Lisa, her patience worn thin, charged towards Samantha, determination etched across her face. Samantha, equally unwilling to back down, met Lisa's advances with a defiant glare."You're just jealous! Jealous that Jason chose me over you!" Samantha spat out, her voice dripping with venom

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 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.

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
