Jason lay on the ground, his chest heaving as he struggled to regain his breath. Every muscle in his body was in pain, but worse was the humiliation. The crowd still stand looking at the drama, though their murmurs had died down. He could feel their eyes on him, judging, mocking, pitying him. Ethan stood nearby, his face smug, confident in his victory.

As Jason attempted to push himself off the ground, his arms trembled beneath him. He managed to get one knee up, but his body felt weak, too battered to move quickly. His head throbbed, and the weight of his failure pressed harder on him than Ethan’s foot ever had.

Before he could fully stand, the sharp sound of heels clicking against the pavement filled the air. The crowd parted once more, this time revealing a figure of power and authority: Mr. Reynolds, the director of the school. He was impeccably dressed in a crisp suit, his hair neatly combed back, and his expression severe. The professor who had come to Jason’s rescue straightened immediately, stepping back to let the director take charge.

Jason froze. He knew Reynolds by reputation alone—the man was cold, calculating, and always favored the wealthiest and most influential students. The fact that Ethan’s father was one of the school’s top donors didn’t bode well for him.

Reynolds’ eyes scanned the scene, first landing on Ethan, who smiled innocently, then on Jason, still hunched over on the ground. His gaze was as hard as stone when it fell on Jason, and Jason’s heart sank further. There would be no justice here. Not for him.

“What is the meaning of this?” Reynolds’ voice boomed, cutting through the silence like a knife. His eyes darted between the professor and the crowd, then settled on Ethan, whose expression softened into one of feigned regret.

“It’s really unfortunate, Mr. Reynolds,” Ethan began, his voice dripping with false sincerity. “Jason here attacked me. I didn’t want to fight, but he threw the first punch.”

Jason’s blood boiled at the blatant lie. “That’s not what happened!” he spat, struggling to stand fully. “You’ve been tormenting me for weeks, and I finally—”

Reynolds raised a hand, silencing him. “Enough, Mr. Walker.”

Jason looked around thinking one of the students was going to stand up for him but non of them said a word. It was like they all haven't witnessed the humiliation, the beating and the way Ethan had disregarded him. It was just like the didn't exist.

Jason’s mouth snapped shut, his fists clenching at his sides. He wanted to scream, to make Reynolds see the truth, but he knew it was useless. The director had already made up his mind.

“I’ve seen this sort of behavior from you before,” Reynolds said, his voice dripping with disapproval. “You’re always involved in some kind of trouble, aren’t you? And now, attacking one of our top students, someone whose family has done so much for this institution. I won’t tolerate it.”

Jason’s heart sank. It wasn’t fair. It had never been fair. “I didn’t—”

“Enough.” Reynolds' voice was sharp, final. “You’ll be suspended for a month, effective immediately.”

Jason’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Suspended? But he—”

“I’ve heard enough excuses, Mr. Walker. You’re lucky I’m not expelling you on the spot.”

The professor, who had initially intervened, opened her mouth to say something, but one look from Reynolds made her stop. She quickly averted her eyes, offering no further defense for Jason.

Ethan watched the exchange with a smug grin, the glint of victory in his eyes. Linda, standing beside him, gave Jason a pitying look, as though she was somehow the victim in all this. Jason felt his chest tighten, but there was nothing he could do.

“I’ll be speaking with your parents, of course,” Reynolds continued, turning to walk away. “Now, get off the premises. You’re no longer welcome here.”

Jason stood frozen, the words echoing in his mind. His parents... his father would never forgive him for this. He’d already been on thin ice, struggling to keep up with the high expectations placed on him. This suspension was going to ruin everything.

As Reynolds walked away, Ethan stepped forward, leaning down close to Jason’s ear. “Tough break, Walker,” he whispered, a malicious grin on his lips. “Guess you’re not as important as you thought.”

Jason’s vision blurred with anger and frustration, but he couldn’t act on it. Not now. His fists trembled at his sides as he watched Ethan stroll away, hand in hand with Linda.

The crowd began to disperse, muttering among themselves as the spectacle came to an end. Jason stood alone in the center of the courtyard, his mind spinning with a mixture of fury, embarrassment, and despair.

He had lost everything.

As he walked toward the gates of the school, each step felt heavier than the last. He could hear the whispers of the other students, see the judgment in their eyes. They all saw him as a failure, as someone who had stepped out of line and been crushed under the weight of it. He was nothing to them.

The gates of the school loomed ahead, cold and unwelcoming. Jason hesitated for a moment, looking back at the campus that had once felt like his second home. Now, it was just another place that had rejected him.

With a heavy sigh, he pushed through the gates and left the school grounds. The world outside felt different, colder, lonelier. He didn’t know where to go. His parents would be furious, and he had no friends left to turn to. Everyone had sided with Ethan. Everyone had chosen to believe the lie.

Jason wandered aimlessly for what felt like hours, his mind clouded with thoughts of revenge, shame, and despair. He had lost Linda. He had lost his place at school. He had lost everything he had worked for.

Jason’s aimless walk took him far beyond the familiar roads around the school. His feet carried him without purpose, just a need to escape. The weight of his suspension clung to him like a heavy fog, clouding his thoughts. The further he wandered, the more desperate he became, each step leaving him more isolated than the last.

He knew he couldn’t go home, not yet. His father’s rage would be unbearable, the disappointment even worse. But where could he go? Ethan’s lie had stripped him of everything—his reputation, his friends, even his dignity.

The sun was beginning to set, casting long shadows across the pavement. Jason barely noticed, his mind still replaying the scene over and over—the smug look on Ethan’s face, the pity in Linda’s eyes, Reynolds’ cold indifference. How could it all have gone so wrong?

Suddenly, a sleek black car pulled up alongside him, its tinted windows gleaming in the fading light. Jason’s heart skipped a beat. " Who could this be?" he asked seeing the tinted glasses

    He hadn’t noticed it approaching, and now the vehicle sat idling, matching his pace as he walked.He stopped, a chill creeping up his spine. Who could this be? The window on the passenger side rolled down slightly, revealing a man in a suit. His face was shadowed, but his voice was clear and authoritative. “Jason Walker?” Jason tensed. “Who are you?” He asked looking around to make sure he was safe. Jason has heard lot of young kids being taken away and whisked into some part of the country to be used as either a sec slave or an houseboy. He wasn't going to be added to the chart. “We need you to come with us,” the man said calmly, his tone leaving little room for argument. Jason took a step back, his eyes narrowing. “And why would I do that?” The man didn’t answer. Instead, the back door opened, and two more men stepped out, dressed in similar dark suits. They moved toward Jason with an unsettling calmness. “I’m not going anywhere with you,” Jason snapped, his fists clench

    Jason’s mind reeled from the stranger’s words, the silence in the room stretching uncomfortably. "Your father?" The statement hung in the air like a dense fog, making it hard for Jason to breathe. Jason blinked twice trying to make sure what he has heard was correct. He had no idea who this man was or what kind of sick game he was playing, but the implication of his words gnawed at Jason’s insides. His father had always been a sore subject—an absentee parent, angry and distant, more of a ghost than a man in Jason’s life. But now, the old man in his front acted as if he knew more about Jason’s family than Jason himself did. Before he could respond, the door behind him creaked open. A tall, elegant woman entered the room, her sharp features softened by a warm smile. Her heels clicked softly against the polished floor as she approached, stopping beside the man. “Father,” she said softly, looking between Jason and the old man, “I think we should get the DNA test done first, just to be

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

Ethan and Linda had no idea what was coming for them, but soon enough, they would. Jason smiled to himself, his heart filled with resolve.

    The hallway was awfully quiet, save for the sound of heavy breathing and the distant murmur of students watching the spectacle unfold. Jason stood there, fists clenched, his heart pounding as the director released his grip on his arm. He could feel everyone’s eyes on him, the weight of their judgment, the sharp sting of their whispers. He now looked like the villain while Ethan was in his exact position. Ethan lay sprawled on the floor, still groaning, holding his bloodied face. Linda knelt beside him, casting hateful glances at Jason, her phone still in hand, capturing every moment of his outburst. Jason’s grandmother, frail and trembling, stood to the side, her tearful eyes pleading with him, but Jason couldn’t meet her gaze. He had lost control, and the consequences were about to catch up with him. “Well, well,” the director sneered, straightening his suit and eyeing Jason with a mix of contempt and satisfaction. “What do you have to say for yourself now, Jason?

    The tension in the hallway thickened as Ethan’s smug grin deepened, his words sending a ripple of excitement through the gathered students. Jason paused, his thumb hovering over the screen. He glanced at his grandmother, her fragile form trembling, her tear-filled eyes silently begging him to reconsider. But Jason had gone too far to back down now. 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." He gestured to Linda, who was grinning wickedly, her phone still recording every second of the encounter. She was ready to make Jason a laughing stock for the whole school G

He felt a rush of hope rising in his chest, pushing back the lingering echoes of Ethan and Linda’s cruel laughter. With renewed determination, he initiated the transfer again, his eyes focused on the screen."Here we go again," Ethan scoffed, rolling his eyes. "What's the matter, Jason? Can’t you just admit you’ve lost already? Save yourself the embarrassment."Linda smirked, her phone still recording every moment. "This is getting sad, Walkers. You really think you’re going to get a different result this time?" She said with determination in her eyes.Jason ignored their taunts, his focus entirely on the screen in front of him. He could feel the tension in the

    Jason stood still, looking at the stunned reactions from the crowd after revealing his true identity as the lost son of the Carters. His transformation from a nobody to someone of immense wealth was written on every face around him. But while the revelation had shaken everyone, Jason knew he wasn't done proving himself. He could sense the silent challenge that still hung in the air—a challenge from Ethan, who wasn't ready to admit defeat just yet."He can't be? Is he really the list son of the Carter's?" One of the students asked while the others immediately pressed their phones to look it up online. Linda, on the other hand, kept her gaze fixed on Jason and noticed there was something off about him. He was having this assurance, this backing, like he could do anything and everything he wanted too. She still didn't believe how a boy who had nothing yesterday could suddenly be able to transfer a huge amount of money into the Scholl account, buying himself a spot in the elite worlds.

    Jason looked at his hands once more and was surprised to see them shoot some powers out of them. "I am going to try and hold them back, Mr Walker. Get the hell out of here!" Raven shouted. He was bleeding on the floor now. "I have told you, Raven. We are both leaving here alive!" He bellowed. "I don't need you alive anymore, Jason Carter. Since you know who you really are, then I think you will have to die now!" Clark said removing his black suit. Jason looked at Clark with fire in his eyes. "Why don't we settle this one and for all? You and me, and no one has to die." He said, cleansing his bloodstained lips. "Stop fighting!" Clark ordered, and his men stopped abruptly. "Do you think you can take me, kid?" He said taking off his clothes. Jason's eyes widened in horror as Clark removed his clothes, revealing various body marks. "You have something that should have been mine a long time ago, and now that I am back, I am ready to collect it." "Why don't you come and get it?" Jaso

Blood splattered across the dusty floor as more men poured in through the broken windows and side doors.

    Clark looked at the piece of paper he was holding. And he knew all he had to do. He does not need Jason anymore. All he needed to do was open the Walkerscript, and the knowledge of the ancient power was his. All he needed to do now was have Jason at the right place. Nikoklaus has been running the business with Eric and Sophia as he had always wanted. But then, he needed him in the days to come. Clark decided to have one of his men mount at Jason's mansion and report everything that was going on. Days went by, and Jason was not awake. Clark was beginning to wonder if the legends were true. He had never witnessed Jason heal a man right in front of him before. The plan he had was to shoot Felix right in front of Jason and watch him heal his old man, but everything fell apart, and Felix had to die. Clark decided to check out the Walkers last place of treasure. He took his car and drove down to the site. The drive was a long one, and when he finally got there, he was surprised to see

    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

    Jason flashed his eyes open; he looked around, and he could see faces staring at him. His face was at peace when he saw Alessia was right beside him. "I thought we lost you for a moment." Jason let out a sigh slowly, reaching for her hand. "No, honey. I am right here." Alessia replied back. "What about Leo? Is he alright?" Jason asked. Alessia helped him to sit upright. "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." Zack said, looking across the room towards his bed. "I am not an asset to anyone, Doctor Zack. I am Jason Carter." He said sharply, wincing in pain. He remembered what happened before he f

    "Are you alright?" A voice said slowly as Jason opened his eyes. He flicked his hands, trying to make sure he was alright. "Doctor Zack?" Jason let out gently. "Yes. I am fine. How is she?" "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

    There was total s after Alessia was basked in the light. The doctor outside the van and some nearby people saw the light. It was not the first so they weren't bothered. 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. No beeping machines. No painful pressure in her chest. Just silence—and warmth. It felt like she was wrapped in sunlight, floating.Then, she heard his voice.“Alessia... please, wake up.”Jason.Her lashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes slowly. 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. "Just give me my grandfather, and I promise to disappear without a trace. Besides, you don't need me." Clark chuckled behind the call. "Oh boy! I need you.
