Rise of The Son in Law CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
Alison's room was cast in shadows as she lay in her bed, with the soft glow of her smartphone illuminating her face in the dimness.It was early morning, and she was still groggy from sleep, scrolling through her phone's screen. The room showed a sense of solitude and sadness.Just as Alison was engrossed in her virtual world, her bedroom door creaked open, and in walked her mother, Julia.Without a hint of consideration for her daughter's sleep-ridden state, Julia marched to the window and with a swift, dramatic flourish, flung the blinds open. The sudden invasion of the morning sunlight burst into the room, causing Alison to squint and fumble with her phone."Good morning, Alison!" Julia's tone was sharp, her voice cutting through the stillness like a knife. Her disdain for the late mornings her daughter often enjoyed was clear.Alison's groan was half-hearted. "Mom, seriously? Can't a girl get a few more minutes of sleep?"Julia paid no mind to Alison's protests and instead contin

Alison sat in her room,with the bouquet of roses from Jason gracing her coffee table.The bright blooms seemed to mock her with their vivid colors, reminding her of the recent confrontation at Montgomery Enterprises when Jason's security had unceremoniously escorted her out."I can't believe he sent me roses," Alison mumbled, her mind still in disbelief.She couldn't fathom how Jason could go from having her escorted off his dinner to sending her such a romantic gesture.Julia, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, turned to her daughter. "Don't be so surprised, dear. Perhaps Jason still has feelings for you."Alison's eyebrows shot up in astonishment. "What? After the way he treated me the other day? I’m sure he hates me"Julia chuckled softly. "Men can be complicated, darling. Sometimes they don't know how to express their emotions, so they do strange things."Alison shook her head, blushing slightly at the notion. "I doubt it, Mom. He's a busy, successful businessman. He pro

The night before the dinner, the atmosphere in Jason's mansion was charged with anticipation.Jason and John sat in the dimly lit study, sipping wine as they discussed the impending encounter with the Hastings.John, his brow furrowed with concern, ventured into the topic that had been on his mind. "Jason, you still haven't shared your plan for tomorrow night. What exactly do you intend to do to the Hastings?"Jason leaned back in his chair, swirling the deep red wine in his glass. He wore a mysterious smile, as if he held a secret that would soon be unveiled. "John," he said, his voice calm and confident, "I have everything under control. You'll know soon enough. Just trust me on this."John couldn't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and trepidation. He had seen the fire in Jason's eyes, the determination that burned brightly. Yet, he couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty, a nagging doubt that lingered in the back of his mind."But Jason," John persisted, his voice lace
Rise of The Son in Law CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
Jason's mansion, a fortress of luxury, suddenly felt like a maze of intrigue with Mama Dracko's unexpected visit. Jason, though taken aback, approached the elderly woman with a courteous smile. They exchanged pleasantries, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia as memories from his youth came flooding back. "Mrs. Dracko, it's been years," Jason remarked, genuine warmth in his voice. "I can't believe you're here. How did you even get my address?" Mama Dracko, who was known in the community Jason had grown up in for her wisdom, returned his smile with a twinkle in her eyes. Her appearance hadn't changed much since Jason had last seen her, and her presence brought a sense of familiarity to this unexpected encounter. "Oh, my dear, I have my ways," she said cryptically, her voice a mixture of affection and wisdom. "I've been following your journey from the moment you left our neighborhood." Jason's mind raced, trying to comprehend how she could have tracked him down. The

Alison stood in her room, staring at the exquisite dress that lay on her bed. It was a creation of pure elegance, a deep shade of royal blue that seemed to shimmer in the soft light. The fabric felt like a dream against her fingers, and as she ran her hand over the intricate lace and beading, a sense of awe washed over her. Jason had sent this dress as a prelude to their dinner, and it took her breath away."Alison, you have to try it on," her mother, Julia, insisted. She stood nearby, a knowing smile on her face as she watched her daughter's reaction.Alison nodded, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and trepidation. She carefully slipped into the dress, and it fit like a second skin.The bodice accentuated her curves, and the flowing skirt gave her an ethereal quality. The dress made her feel like a princess in a fairy tale.As she stepped in front of the mirror, Alison was taken aback by her own reflection. She felt beautiful, confident, and ready to face whatever the ev

Jason's eyes gleamed with delight when he saw Alison or seemed. Her presence seemed to light up the room, and a faint but genuine smile tugged at the corners of his lips.As Alison approached the table, she couldn't help but notice the subtle change in his demeanor.As they both settled into their seats, the tension that had once defined their relationship was notably absent. It was as though the weight of past disagreements had been lifted from their shoulders. The restaurant's intimate ambiance and dim lighting seemed to create a cocoon around them, fostering an environment of ease and conversation.Alison, wanting to address the proverbial elephant in the room, took a deep breath and began to speak. Her voice was gentle and filled with sincerity, as she looked into Jason's eyes, searching for understanding."Jason," she started, "I want to sincerely apologize for my behavior at your dinner event. I was out of line, and I shouldn't have created a scene like that. I was just..."Bef

Julia's voice wavered with a mixture of confusion and indignation as she demanded an explanation from Jason, "What's the meaning of all this, Jason?"With an air of theatricality, Jason leaned back in his chair, his expression one of smug satisfaction. "Welcome, Julia, to the downfall of the Hastings," he declared, the words carrying a weight of calculated vengeance.Alison, who was visibly distressed, stood up from her seat, attempting to intervene and calm Jason down. "Jason, please, this is not the way to resolve things," she implored, her voice tinged with desperation.However, Jason brushed her off dismissively, his eyes fixed on Julia. "Sit down, Alison," he commanded, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.Turning his attention to the gathered crowd, Jason addressed them with a certain theatrical flair. "Ladies and gentlemen," he began, his voice projecting across the room, "underneath your very tables lies a document—a detailed account of the Hastings family's sins and atro
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 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.

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
