Marcus passed down the message to his sister, not leaving out a single word and she couldn't believe her ears. Her mother was really something else. Why was she hell bent on getting a share of the money? When she was with Jason, her mother was the one telling her she was living the wrong life. She was always trying to get her to leave Jason. She finally left him and now she wanted her to go back to him.Jason had been staring from over the entrance of the restaurant they had agreed to meet, the petrified look on his ex wife's face. If they were still married, he would have been concerned about what the problem could be but presently, he wasn't interested.He walked over to where she sat and announced his presence. "I am kinda busy, so I don't have much time to spend here." He said as he took the seat across from her."Thanks for coming, I wasn't sure you would.""I'm here now, so what is it?""The last time I told you about our baby—""Nothing is confirmed without a DNA (deoxyribonu
"What the hell, JP?!""Erika, wh-what are you talking about?" He didn't know when she got in so her sudden outburst startled Jason."What am I talking about? Seriously?""Please calm down, I don't know what you mean, honestly." He had an idea but he didn't want to get ahead of himself."Okay, what the hell is going on with you and Lauren?!""Lauren?" Immediately he mentioned her name, he realized what was wrong he hadn't told Erika of his plan, but how did she know? "Look, I know what it sounds like but have to trust me, there's nothing going on between us!""That's not what she said!""She? Wait…are you telling me that Lauren told you?""Heck yeah she did!. She walked right into my store and was sprouting gibberish about how she was back into your life as your wife, and that I could never take you from her. Even if it was just part of your plan, you should…you should have at least told me JP." The tone of her voice had calmed but she still wore a frown on her face."Right, you're ri
As he strolled through the halls of the mansion that still felt quite like alien territory, he wondered why he had no memory of it, or his life there. He walked through the main living room, up the stairs and even checked out his late parent's room before ending his tour at his old bedroom.The bed was huge, big enough to accommodate his whole length even though he was pretty tall. The walls, ceiling and floor all had touches of gold, giving it a royal look. An exquisite chandelier hung in the middle of the ceiling, its beautiful crystal lights adding extra beauty to the already perfect room. To the left side of the room, a sliding door leading to a well decorated balcony stood firmly and as he approached it, the fragrance of lavender flowers hit him, reminding him once again of his love for them."How old was I when I slept in this room?""Well, you slept here till you were eight years old sire."Eight. He repeated in his head, absorbing the beauty of his childhood bedroom. To think
"Father, may I have a word with you?""Not now dear, I'm quite busy with–""I'm afraid it can't wait, father." Every since the ceremony night where Lauren found out about her father's mistress, she had been thinking of a way to talk to him about it. She didn't say a word to her mother because she was hoping to hear her old man's explanation first. But everytime she asked to see him, he would claim he was busy. Well not this time."Hmm," he sighed as he already knew what the subjet matter of their discussion would be. "Very well, come in. And shut the door behind you."Her father's study was widely spaced so they didn't have to worry about any eavesdroppers. There was only one chair by the table so Lauren proceeded to seat herself on the reading table. "Father–""Before you begin, I want you to know that I only did it to secure my place in the society." Antony said in defense of himself."Regardless, it's wrong. You cheated on mother,""Like you cheated on your husband?" He attacked, st
"So I guess this is goodbye." Erika said as she stood by the door with her packed luggage. She wasn't living with Jason but she visited so often and she always left one or two things behind after every visit."No, this isn't goodbye. I already told you to stop saying that." Jason said, taking her hands in his."When am I going to see you again?""I'll drop by the store whenever I get the chance.""Okay.""How's your dad? Is he feeling any better?""Yeah, I guess so. But I think he's also stalling because he's worried about what people will say. He's innocent and he knows that, and we know that…but it doesn't mean people still won't wag their tongues.""That's true." Then he would have to find a way to deal with the situation. He added in his mind."Anyway, your missus is going to be here soon so, I should go.""Alright dear." He pulled her in for a hug. "One last kiss for the road?" She replied to his question by placing a kiss on his lips, but it didn't last too long or else it would
"Good morning Mr Decker." His receptionist greeted as he got to work. Aside from Jordan, only a hand full of staff knew who he truly was and the receptionist was one of them."Morning Sarah, is Jordan here yet?""No sir, but she did call and said she would be late today. Said she had trouble with her car or something like that."Trouble with her car, that was a lie. "Okay, please tell her to see me in my office when she gets here.""Of course sir."Jordan had been lying to him for almost a week now, and Jason's curiousity was killing him. He really wanted to know what was going on. Maybe it was related to Phil's issue.Speaking of Phil, Jason hadn't heard from him in a while. Could it be that he had gone into hiding? Or could it be that he was busy planning his revenge somewhere?He just had to find out.Thirty minutes after he had settled in his office, Jordan walked in. "Good morning Mr Decker, you wanted to see me?.""Morning yes, have a seat.""Thank you.""I was thinking of some
Rose is a bad otrskn, so her father just be a big time criminal."Oh hi, I never thought I'd run into you here." Rose commented with her usual falsified smile on her doll face."Oh my God, me neither." Jason lied, smiling back at her. He had seen her post online and decided to show up so they could 'accidentally' bump into each other."Wow, you look absolutely sexy. I just want to eat you all up." She giggled like it was just a joke but Jason could tell it wasn't.Jason didn't know which it was, either she had a really high level of libido, or there was something that she was helplessly attracted to about him, but whenever they met, she always made sure to bring up at least two sexual jokes, probably with the hope that he would take the hint and lay with her. On other circumstances, that would have aided him greatly in winning her completely to his side, but he hadn't been with any other woman since Erika, and going to bed with Rose would feel like he was betraying her. So he resort
ONE WEEK AGO."So what's the plan?" Rose asked Jason as they made their way to her car."At the meeting, you're going to come over and introduce yourself as his girlfriend.""Why would I do that?""It's pretty obvious that you've chosen the old man over me so I might as well help you get him." Or better said, use her to get what he wanted."Really?""Yes. So, you'll come over and announce that you're Antony's girlfriend. Just in case they don't believe your words, I'll back you up. Okay?""Okay.""Then you are going to tell him that you're pregnant and well, his reaction will determine what we'll do next.""Just like that? In case you've forgotten, he has two kids my age, if I say something like that in their presence…what if they try to hurt me?""They wouldn't dare. Their old man won't let them touch you, and if he doesn't stop them…I'll be there for you.""Hmm I'm not so sure I'm comfortable with this plan of yours.""Let's just give it a shot, okay?""Okay, but what if I tell him
