Life, a mystery.So long, yet so short. So tough, yet so fragile. Life was a huge mystery that no one could understand. Although Soren Kierkegaard went on further to explain that:'Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.'It was a puzzle that no one could figure out. It has its ups and downs. Filled with twists and turns, like a roller coaster. A person could feel immense joy in a day and the next, experience an even greater amount of sadness.Sometimes, it would feel like you're down in the dumps but other times, you're celebrating and merrying.Sometimes, an individual expects comfort but gets disappointment. And sometimes expect disappointment and experience joy.No one has a way of controlling it, we can only live, and hope life gives us the good.Jason Paul Decker was currently experiencing the good, his business was booming, his revenge scheme was going according to plan, and his relationship was going smoothly. He couldn't be happier, he had the m
Phil arrived at the Kings residence at exactly three PM and upon reaching the front door, he realized it was unlocked so he let himself in.When he walked into the living room, he met Mabel and her children discussing and the subject matter of their conversation just happened to be the same reason he was visiting them.After he ended up on the blacklist of the Decker Industries, he almost lost everything. His business started to fall, his business partners started to withdraw from working with him and the people lost their trust in his company and products. He was certain that Jason had something to do with it so he promised himself he would come back for his revenge on both the company and Jason.Lauren's mother was trying to force her daughter into getting an abortion and he decided to use that medium to get his revenge. "That is the only solution for you!" Mabel yelled at Lauren."No it isn't." He objected and they all turned to where he stood. "Hey Lauren, I'm back.""Phil?""It
Meeting the head of the Board made Jason feel almost anxious, and for more than one reason. As a father, the man was probably going to scold him for getting his daughter pregnant. Or bombard him with tons of questions about his intentions and other stuff like that…and Jason knew he wasn't going to like it.Then as the head of the Board he was probably going to ask him about the blasphemy that Phil had been posting about the company. He was not aware of the fact that Jason was the CEO of the Decker Industries but according to what he told Rose and everyone else, he was the personal assistant to the owner so they would expect him to know what was going on and be able to give out substancial information.He decided to keep his dressing formal, something appropriate for a business meeting but was also comfortable to wear to an in-law's house.He knew that if he showed up in a taxi, Rose's father would surely be disappointed and he might even turn him away. Since he wasn't aware of the f
After Jason left the Sandler mansion, he was relived and a little surprised that it went smooth than he had expected. A little too smoothly if he was being honest with himself.He went back home and surprisingly Lauren wasn't around. She was always at home to welcome him. The fact that she wasn't almost made him angry. Whenever she was going out, she wlawsys let him know so he wouldn't worry–"What am I doing?" He cautioned himself out loud. He wasn't married to Lauren anymore, the only reason they were still together was because he needed her to get revenge on her family. Why should be be getting worried or angry because she didn't inform him of her outing? He shook off the thought and went into his room. He was undressing to head to the shower when he received a text from his uncanny ally. (I haven't heard anything. Did you lie to me???)Three question marks? He must be desperate. Jason thought. His mind briefly reverted to the day his egotistical brother in law came to him for he
"So, how did the meeting with my father go?" Rose didn't look particularly interested in how the meeting went, she just wanted to hear the end."It went well." He said simply."What did my father say Jason, that's what I want to know.""He said not to tell you." Rose father never said not to disclose the details of their meeting to her, he just wanted to see how curious she was."Come on Jason, I have to know. It does concern you and I after all.""He thinks you're full- fledged and he's tired of having you in his home.""So what, he wants me to get married?""In the next four months to be precise.""What?! That old man just keeps finding new ways to get on my nerves. So what did he say when you turned him down?""He said he would buy us a house where we would stay after our wedding. He also promised me a new car. Then I said, it would be an honor to become a part of your family… and I called him father.""What the…? Are you crazy??!""I could be. Why do you ask?""So what, you want t
The next morning, Lauren and her husband were already at the home of the Kings family, and it was so obvious that Mabel and her husband never wanted them over. Her son as well but he couldn't say anything due to the agreement he had made with Jason."I can't remember the name of the company--" Mabel was still saying when her son cut her off. "It's a branch of the Decker Industries. The Decker Real Estates." He announced confidently, and instantly, a grim look on his face.Jason's mind was finally at rest. That was all he needed to hear. It had been his company after all! Things would have been much easier if the headquarters was the one offering the bid but no matter, he was still the one in charge of everything. He would win that bid for Lauren, and put his enemies to shame. All of the Kings household. "Why would you even want to know about it?" The oldest amongst them asked, a furrowed brow shooting at Jason. The man was none other than Antony Kings. The husband to Mabel and f
All ears patiently listened quietly, waiting for Jason's interesting dare. And he was glad for the attention. "I have decided to say this, and I will completely respect your decisions in the end. No matter what happens. And you all should respect mine as well." He chose his words carefully. True, Jason hated Mabel for everything she and her family had put him through, but he wasn't going to show it. At least not now. He had to be careful now. "I have told my wife to place the bid. And here's my proposal. If she wins, you must all promise to make Lauren over here," he paused to steal a glance at her, and the worried state on her face propelled him to speak faster, "the family CEO, and never ever, mention us divorcing again.""And if she doesn't win?" Asked Marcus, almost instantly. He was losing his patience already. "If she doesn't win, I'll leave her and never bother this family ever again." His plan was to make Lauren the family CEO by winning the contract for her, then when she
Lauren sat next to her husband, fingers crossed and silently prayed the bid would be in their favor. She glanced over to her mother and saw that she had a smug smile plastered across her face, probably pleased that they would lose the bet.Jason on the other hand looked completely calm, he must have really high hopes in his connections. She just hoped he knew what he was doing.They all sat patiently awaiting the announcement of the winner but the announcer never mentioned it, instead she kept going around in circles, refusing to reach the essence of the matter. "On behalf of our generous CEO, Mr Decker, I say a big thank you to all the individuals who took part in this bidding and I hope that even after the results are out, your relationship with the Decker Industries will continue to flourish and to those who didn't take part in this bidding, we hope to see you all next time."Marcus and his mother leaned forward in anticipation of the winner announcement but the announcer lady kept
