Jason's mind whirled as he stepped out of the mansion, the weight of everything he had just learned pressing down on his shoulders. He had barely had time to process the fact that he was a long-lost heir to a powerful empire, and now the revelation was threatening to suffocate him. The luxury, the money, the influence—it was all his. And yet, his heart felt heavy with confusion and uncertainty.

But before Jason could delve any deeper into the storm of emotions raging inside him, his phone buzzed in his pocket. Startled, he fumbled for it, glancing at the screen. It was his friend, Marcus.

"Jason, you gotta come back to school. Now," Marcus’s voice was panicked, breathless even. "Your grandmother... she’s here. She’s begging the director to let you stay. Linda and Ethan... they’re making her—"

Jason’s heart dropped, and he didn’t need Marcus to finish the sentence. He could already picture it—his frail grandmother standing there, pleading, begging, while his enemies reveled in her humiliation. His jaw clenched in fury, the newfound wealth and power momentarily forgotten as his concern for his grandmother overpowered everything.

“I’m on my way,” Jason replied, voice tight. He hung up and turned to his grandfather’s driver, who was waiting by the sleek black car that had chauffeured him here. The vehicle looked like something out of a billionaire’s dream—sleek, shiny, and undeniably expensive. The thought of arriving in such a car would no doubt spark a frenzy at school.

But Jason wasn’t ready for that—not yet.

"Pull over a few blocks from the school," Jason ordered as he slid into the backseat. "I’ll walk from there."

The driver nodded without question, and they sped off toward the school. As they drove, Jason’s mind raced. He wasn’t ready to expose his newfound identity, not before he dealt with SM1 and SF1. They were responsible for his suspension, and now they had the audacity to shame his grandmother?

He would deal with them—he just needed to bide his time. But when he did, they wouldn’t know what hit them.

As the car pulled over, Jason stepped out and made the rest of the journey on foot, his thoughts simmering. His heart raced as he approached the school, his fists clenching in his pockets. He spotted his grandmother immediately at the gate, her gray hair tied up in a neat bun, her body trembling slightly as she stood in front of the school director. The director looked uncomfortable, trying to distance himself from the situation, but it was clear that Ethan and Linda were enjoying the scene, smirking as they whispered to each other.

Jason’s blood boiled. How dare they?

“Please, sir,” his grandmother was saying, her voice cracked with desperation. “We can’t afford to pay the extra tuition if Jason misses the final exams. He’s a good boy... Please, just let him take the exams. I beg you.”

Linda chuckled under her breath, her sharp eyes gleaming with malice. “Begging won’t help, Mrs. Harlow. If you really want Jason to stay, maybe you should kneel. That’s the least you can do.”

Jason froze in place, disbelief washing over him. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His grandmother—his only real family—was being humiliated by these vultures, and they had the nerve to ask her to kneel?

Without thinking, Jason strode forward, his face dark with fury.

"That’s enough," Jason’s voice cut through the tension like a knife. Everyone turned to look at him. His grandmother’s tear-filled eyes widened in shock and relief, while Linda and Ethan's smug expressions faltered slightly, though they quickly recovered.

"Jason!" his grandmother cried out, her hand reaching for him.

He reached her side, gently taking her arm. "I’m here, Grandma," he murmured, his voice softer now. Then, he turned to the director, his eyes cold. "I’ll handle this."

The director seemed eager to wash his hands of the situation and gave a quick nod before scurrying back into the school building. Now it was just Jason, his grandmother, and the two vultures who had been circling her.

"What’s this, Jason?" Linda sneered, crossing her arms. "You think you can save the day? You’re suspended. You can’t do anything."

Jason’s eyes narrowed. "You think so? You’re mistaken."

Linda's eyes flickered with unease, but she quickly masked it. "Oh, please. You’re nothing, Jason. Just a poor kid who can’t even pay his tuition. What are you going to do? Fight me? Pathetic."

Jason’s lips curled into a slow, dangerous smile. "You’re wrong about one thing. I’m not nothing anymore."

Ethan's smirk faltered again, confusion flickering in his gaze. Jason glanced over at his grandmother, who was watching him with wide, tear-filled eyes. He squeezed her hand gently, reassuring her.

"Go home, Grandma. I’ll take care of this," he said softly.

"But, Jason—"

"Please. Trust me."

After a moment, she nodded hesitantly, allowing him to guide her toward the gate. Once she was safely out of sight, Jason turned back to Linda and Ethan, his expression hardening.

"You’ve humiliated my family for the last time," he said, his voice low but deadly serious. "You think I’m powerless? Think again."

Linda, who had remained silent throughout the exchange, shifted nervously. "What are you going to do?" she muttered, though the bravado was quickly fading from her tone.

Jason stepped closer to them, his presence suddenly intimidating. "Let’s just say things have changed. And when I come back, you’ll regret every single thing you’ve done."

Linda scoffed, though the fear in her eyes betrayed her. "Big words, Jason. Too bad you won’t even be here for finals."

Jason’s smile was chilling. "Oh, I’ll be here. And when I return, you’ll both be the ones begging."

His pride—and his grandmother’s dignity—were at stake. “More interesting, huh?” Jason’s voice was low, filled with barely contained fury. He straightened, turning his cold gaze toward Ethan. “Alright. What’s your game, Matthews?” Ethan wiped the blood from his lips, his smile never faltering despite the pain. "Simple. If the transfer fails, you strip down and run around the school naked. And don’t worry—Linda here will make sure it’s all recorded for posterity."

His mind was a whirlwind of what Ethan might be hiding. Jason's mind went back to the black card his grandfather had given him. He removed it from his pocket and stared at it. "I need to see more of what you can do." He said with a smirk on his face. Jason decided to get more dresses. It was high time he lived up to the standard of his family. After all, he was a Carter.

    The Unknown CallerJason kept his gaze on the student standing across the hallway, a flicker of recognition in his eyes. The boy seemed ordinary enough—tall, slender, wearing a faded school uniform—but there was something in the way he stared at Jason, an intensity that made Jason uneasy. Was he the one sending those cryptic messages?Before Jason could approach him, the boy turned on his heel and disappeared into the crowded hallway. Jason felt a surge of frustration.

    Jason’s head pounded as he came to consciousness, the world around him a blur of dim light and rough shadows. His wrists were tied, the ropes biting into his skin as he struggled to orient himself. His head throbbed with pain, he remembered being dragged into the car with Ethan seated before him. He touched the wound on his head as blood trickled down his face. The last thing he remembered was the auction—a flash of Ethan’s smug grin and the feel of cold metal against his temple as he was dragged away. "Where am I?" he muttered, his voice hoarse. Jason was beginning to fear, the game was far more than Ethan wanting to humilate him. There was something more to everyone and no one is telling him what it was. A chuckle echoed in the dimly lit room. "Awake already, Walker heir?" The voice was mocking, dripping with sarcasm. Jason's eyes flicked to the figure standing just beyond the shadows—a man dressed in black, his face obscured.Jason's jaw tightened as he tried to mask the fear

    Claire didn’t answer. She pushed the creaking door open slowly, her hand hovering just above the frame as if expecting something—or someone—on the other side. Dust spiralled in the golden slant of the setting sun, illuminating the forgotten grandeur of the ancient building before them.Jason stepped in behind her, his senses alert. Every fibre in his being was tingling with unease. There was something about the air—thick, cold, and laced with a scent he couldn’t quite place. It wasn’t decay. It wasn’t mildew. It was... magic. Old and worn, but very much alive.“Someone’s been here recently,” Raven murmured, gun now fully drawn. “Tracks. Fresh ones.”Claire’s face had gone pale, her eyes narrowing as she reached into her coat and pulled out a small dagger. “They were never supposed to find this place.”Jason moved closer, his voice low. “Who’s ‘they’?”Claire didn’t look at him. “Those who erased the Walkers from history. Those who feared your grandfather’s return. And now they fear

    Alessia stood her ground, her arms crossed over her chest as she stared at Jason. The tension in the room was almost palpable. His eyes were wild, a storm brewing in them that she couldn’t quite calm, no matter how much she wanted to. He was spiralling, and she could feel it.It was almost as if Jason couldn't trust anyone. Not even Alessia, his wife. Jason began to remember how she had started off as his personal assistant and how she had slowly climbed the ladder to be his wife. It all felt too good to be true; it felt like he was dancing to theirplans right from day one. "You can't tell me you don't know anything, Alessia. You know this was going to happen. Didn't you?" "Jason", she began, her voice quiet but firm, "I didn’t know. I swear on everything I hold dear, I had no idea about your healing abilities when I married you."Jason didn’t even blink. He kept staring at her like he was trying to read through her soul."I married you because I loved you," she continued, her

"Father is in a coma, and Irene is staying with him." Aleesia replied. "Well, I think he is going to need you. I also need to have him healed, but I am..." "You are not in the right state of body to heal anyone right now." Doctor Zack said immediately. "I need to take my time to study how your ability works and how we can help you through it without you killing yourself. You are an asset every big man in the city would want."

"Do you mean Alessia?" Zack said, smiling. "She is fine, boss. You healed her." Doctor Zack said, patting his shoulders. "You should've let the doctors do their job. You are straining yourself too much, Mr Carter, and it is not good for you." "Where is she? Where is my wife?" Jason asked. "She went out early this morning. She said there was a matter she had to take care of." Jason sat up slowly. He winced as his eyes darted around. Then his gaze slowly went to the wall clock in front of him. "How long have I been out?" He asked, looking at the time. "You have been out for three days," Zack replied, checking his vitals. "What? What did you say?" Jason snapped suddenly. "Yes, you have been out for three days straight. I was beginning to get worried, but then your chart this morning showed y

What the wanted to see was it Alessia was going to make it and if she did, then Jason had done it again.That was the first thing Alessia noticed as she slowly drifted back into consciousness.

The fluorescent lights above her swirled into view, and the familiar lines of Jason’s worried face came into focus. His hands were still on her torso, glowing faintly—though his face was pale, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.“Jason…” she whispered, her voice hoarse. “You did it…”Jason’s breathing was erratic, his body trembling slightly. “You're okay,” he whispered, brush

    Jason had never been this scared before in his entire life. The fear of losing Alessia, who was the only thing that just gnawed at him, was real. "She is going to be alright." Adrian said gently, looking at Jason from the front mirror, before he increased his pace. Jason's phone rang again, and this time he saw it was Clark. His hand fidgeted slowly as he pressed the answer button. "I said I am coming!" Jason said, raising his voice. "Do you honestly think I was a fool? Do you think I would be so gullible as to allow Leonard to destroy everything I have been planning for years, months?" Clark said with anger. "What else do you want? You asked me to give you the company, and I did. I am even going to go as far as to give up my inheritance if you want them." Jason replied.

"If you are not here in the next twenty minutes, then your grandfather will be dismembered!" Clark shouted as he hung up the call before Jason could say a word. The car sped into the night with the tension heightened. Jason's phone rang, and he saw it was Alessia. "Are you at home, babe?" He asked, gently tapping the leathered seat he was seated on. "Don't go alone, Jason. This is not going to end well." Aleesia said with her voice trembling. "I am going to rescue my grandfather, and no one is going to stand in my way. Zack has his men on standby. They are going to have me protected, so you don't need to worry about anything." Jason said trying to calm her down. But then there was a slight static, and Leo's voice could be heard loud and clear. "We had a deal, Jason Carter. And you are not going to go against it.
