One of the maids rushed towards Jason, "Sir Edward is..." She said stammering. Jason looked at her face; she wasn't making any sense. "What happened to my grandfather?" he shouted at her.

Without waiting and wasting time, Fiona raced towards the main mansion while Jason ran after her.

"You need to calm down both of you. I have called an ambulance, and it should be here any moment." Eric said, looking at Jason and Fiona.

Jason's mind raced as the thought of his Trump card dwindled before his face. He couldn't bear to go through everything he had gone through again. The ridicule and the way he had been treated by Ethan

Now everything was beginning to make sense, and people were beginning to make friends with him. He remembered he had seen his grandfather talking to someone; his mind raced. "What happened to him?" Jason looked at Eric.

"I am not sure, young master, but he suddenly held his chest and collapsed." Erick replied

His phone rang as he quickly rushed to talk to whoever the

    The message Jason had gotten earlier meant nothing to him. His grandfather was gone, that was all that mattered. The thought of the last message he left him gnawed at him.

Jason sat in the back of the classroom, eyes glazed over as the professor’s voice droned on in the background. His notebook lay open, the pages untouched, his pen resting idly between his fingers. Every now and then, a stray thought pierced through the haze in his mind, but it was never anything about the lecture. Instead, his thoughts kept circling back to his grandfather—Edward Carter, the man who had believed in him when no one else did. The man who had just died.His mind was a storm of grief, confusion, and r

    Jason's eyes darted toward the woman who had just walked in. Her confident stride, the way she removed her dark shades and looked around the room as if she already owned it—Jason knew instantly that she wasn’t someone to be underestimated.The room went still as Fiona’s smile faded, her grip on the children tightening for a split second. "You're not in charge of anything here," Fiona said, her voice cold and sharp. "Grandfather’s will hasn’t been read yet.""Do you think it matters?" the woman sneered, placing her sunglasses on the side table. She walked up to Fiona, her heels clicking on the polished marble floor. "We both know who was meant to inherit everything, and it's certainly not you."Jason observed the confrontation, his curiosity piqued. He glanced at the twins, who had fallen silent, sensing the tension between the two women. It was clear this wasn’t a family reunion—this was a battle for power. He felt like an outsider in what was supposed to be his home.Fiona’s eyes fli

There was a sense of foreboding that settled deep in his stomach—Edward's death had not only fractured the family's unity, but it had also sparked a dangerous competition for power.By late afternoon, the house was filled with unfamiliar faces. Jason had never seen so many Carters in one place, each one wearing the same cold expression of barely concealed ambition. They had come from all corners of the world, each with their own reasons for attending Edward’s burial. As they mingled in the mansion’s lavish foyer, Jason caught snippets of hushed conversations—rumors about the will, whispered alliances, and veiled threats of what was to come.His Aunt Camilla had taken it upon herself to greet each arrival with a charming smile, all while man

    Jason stood in front of the vault with a glint of happiness in him. The thought of what was inside gnawled at him. The vault didn't contain just treasure but untold secrets and family trees. Jason's heart pounded fast, adrenaline coursing through his veins, and the eagerness to see what was there was all he could think about. He slowly walked closer to the vault, and his eyesbrow was furrowed. The vault had an encryption, and it had to be opened with a password. "Not now." Jason grunted He was about to start deciphering the password when he heard a bang on his head. The loud thud of brick clashing against his skull sent him down to the earth. As he bled to the cold floor beneath him, he tried to see who had his head bashed, but all he could hear was a strange laughter that sent a shiver down his spine. The thought of Fiona trying to hurt him was all he could think about, but he knew the battle was more than the hatred she had for him.Jason looked back at the only clue left by his

    "Why do I feel this way when I am around her?" Jason's thought ran wide as Fiona's tongue fondled his on the bed he lay on. The kiss, the taste of other lips—everything felt divine. The door opened abruptly, making Jason stop and push Fiona back. She laughed and looked back. " Ah! Eric. I don't know you are here taking care of our Jason," she said with a smirk on her face. "Our Jason? What does that even mean?" Jason asked, looking at her. He was anoyed about the fact that he was dancing to her tune each time she was beside him.Fiona brought out a small mirror from her bag. "Oh, you have ruined my lipstick." She looked at Jason and winked at him. "I will be seeing you around, and when I do, you have better tell me what you know about the vault." She smiled and walked out. "Bye Eric." She looked at his stern face and blew Jason a kiss on the bed. "What is she doing here?" Eric asked, walking to Jason's side. "I am not sure." He lied, trying to clean the lipstick. Eric smiled.

    The convoy screeched to a halt, the air thick with the acrid smell of burnt rubber. George's heart sank as he peered out of the limousine, his eyes narrowing at the chaos unfolding ahead. A black SUV had slammed into the rear vehicle of their convoy, effectively blocking their escape."Zeek, Evelyn, get ready!" George’s voice was sharp as he reached for the pistol under his seat. Beaded sweat formed on his forehead. Evelyn stepped out first, her movements calm but deliberate as she scanned the street. "Stay in the car, Mr. George," she said firmly. "We’ll handle this."Masked figures emerged from the SUV, each armed and advancing toward the van carrying Jason. Venom stood among them, his calm attitude sending a chill through the air."Hand over Jason Carter, and no one else needs to die," Venom called out, his voice carrying over the street. The people ran helter skelter as rounds of bullets were let into the air to send a warning message to George and his entourage. George pushed

    "Make sure no one comes close enough to this van." George looked at his personal guards. The nurses all watched as Jason was moved through the hospital hallway. The view was glamorous, and it looks like they were moving the president of the nation. "Be careful." Mr. George shouted occasionally as Jason was lifted into the back of the van where some specialists were seated waiting for him. "I'm coming with you, Dad." Marcus said, looking at his father. "No, you are not." George replied. "Why not? He is my best friend, and I am not going to leave him alone." Marcus said angrily. "You wanted me to handle it from here onwards; that is why you came to me. Now leave the rest to me and go to school like a normal teenager. Zeek and Evelyn are going to help and make sure we get to the safe house in one piece." Marcus sighed, "Call me when you get to the safe house."

    "He said nothing as he closed his eyes. Shouldn't you be out there finding who his shooter was?" Marcus looked at the man standing before him in anger. "I think we need to help ourselves here, Mr. Marcus. I want the same thing you want." The police officer said again. "And what is that?" Marcus asked, staring at him. "You uncover the mystery surrounding Jason Carter. My name is George, and if you are ready to let me assist you, then let me know. Here is my card. Feel free to call me anytime you want." Marcus looked at the card and back at the man walking away from his sight. He got inside the car and drove out of the hospital grounds.

    The news of the gunshot wound spread like wildfire with many speculations about who might want Jason Carter dead. The accident scene was immediately shielded, and students were asked to go back home. The new reporters were all over the scene with the police on standby. Jason was wheeled into the hospital with a lot of doctors at his disposal. "I told you not to let him out of your sight!_ K1 shouted at Evelyn. Marcus, who was still in shock with his hand soaked in his bed friend's blood, still couldn't believe his eyes. He remembered what he had seen on Jason's phone. " Benson and Jay are dead." Evelyn looked at K1. "What do you mean they are dead?" K1 looked at her face and then back at Marcus, who was still in shock. Marcus, without saying a word, brought out Jason's phone and handed it over to him. "Whoever killed them must have come for Jason," he said, sniffling. "Do you think they found something?" Evelyn looked at Marcus. "How should I know that? We are both in the dark h

    Evelyn looked at Jason and nodded. She wasn't going to let him out of her sight, but then they were right inside the school. What was the worst that could go wrong? She hasn't heard anything from Eric or Aunt Camilla, so it was safe to assume they had forgotten all about the drama. Jason and Irene walked out of the party into the gentle breeze of the night. "So what now? You are into my sister Alessia?" Irene asked when they eventually stopped under the moonlight. "What? Why would you assume a thing like that?" Jason asked, raising an eyebrow to look at her face. "Maybe because I saw you in bed staring at her like you both have just had a steamy night." She looked back at Jason. "'Steamy night? I was drunk, and Alessia helped me get home. Definitely not my house. How was I supposed to know that she was your sister?" Jason asked "And what was that about her being my secretary back at work?" Jason added. "Wait, you work now?" Irene asked with a surprised look on her face. "Whoa, tha

Ethan stared back at her with a meaner face. "You hate contributed to my life like I hope, and also you have fallen out of favor with him." He looked at Jason, who was enjoying the show. "Remind me again why I need to keep you?" Ethan asked with a smug look on his face. As he was about to finish his words, Alessia and Irene showed up. "Not now." Jason said slowly as his eyes feared between the crowds of students. "There you are. I have been looking all over for you." Marcus said, walking toward the party. They all gathered with each of them. trying to sort out their feelings. "What is it going to be, Ethan Mathew?" Fiona asked again, going back to the initial topic.

    "Where to, Mr. Carter?" K1 asked, staring at Jason at the back of the seat. The thought of the party crossed his mind again. Jason leaned back in the car, his eyes fixed on the city lights rushing past the window. The streets were alive with activity, but his mind was elsewhere. Alessia's coded words replayed in his head, each testing his patience. "What does she mean I'll change my mind with time?" he muttered under his breath, drawing a curious glance from K2. "Sir, you okay?" K1 asked, his hands steady on the wheel. Jason nodded, forcing a smile. "Just thinking about work." But it wasn’t work. Alessia's sudden appearance at his company wasn’t a coincidence, and Jason knew it. Her smug grin and the way she confidently walked around him—it was as if she knew exactly what she was doing. "Change of plans," Jason said abruptly. "Before the party, I need to stop by the Carter estate. I want to check something." K2 hesitated. "The estate? But, sir, isn’t that where—" "Yes, it is,

    The door opened and Jason's face went pale. "I can't believe it, you." Jason said with a surprise in his voice. Alessia walked in with a smug grin on her face. "What are you doing here?" Jason asked in anger. "Are you stalking me now?" He asked with anger. "You do know all of this is wrong. You can't be here." Jason shouted at her again. The door opened and Mr. Nicholas walked in. He has heard his loud noise opposite his office. "Are you alright, Mr. Jason?" "I will be fine when you ask this lady to leave my office." Jason said, pointing at Alessia. Mr. Nicholas looked at Alessia and back at Jason. "Do you know each other?" He asked with surprise in his voice. "Yes." "No." Both of them replied almost at the same time. "Mr. Jason, I am sorry, but she is one of our best workers in here. She is your new secretary." Mr. Nicholas replied. "New what? That is impossible; her family is supposed to be rich, or they are rich. So how come?" "That is a long story, Mr. Jason. Just make

    "Are you sure you want to take this on?" Nicholas asked, moving closer to Jason. "Don't worry, Nicholas. I have got this." Jason replied. The man walked out of the crowd as the other reporters paved the way for him. He looked up to meet Jason's gaze, and with a playful smile on his lips, he brought out a book. "What are your plans? And are you really the lost heir of the Carters?" Jason smiled. "Is that all, or are you having more questions to ask?" He stared at his face. "Can you answer that first? Or do you want me to dump the bombshell on you?" Jason's mind skipped a bit. "What bombshell?" He had managed to dodge the familial question about his relationship with Fiona, and now this. "I think I have the credibility now that I am indeed the lost son of Mr. Richard Carter. And my future plans are confidential and mine alone." Jason replied as he should. "Tell me, do you plan on finding your father's killer?" The man asked again. "You don't need to answer that, Jason." Mr.
