"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

    What could she possibly want to say to him? Jordan didn't directly resign from her position as his assistant but she just stopped showing up to work. Whenever he asked of her, the receptionist would say she was facing some personal issues. One day, she even said she was involved in an accident and she needed a month to recover. A whole month. Did she think he was a fool?"Hello! How dare you ignore me?"He momentarily forgot about the pale slender man standing authoritatively in front of him until he heard his voice again. "What?""Did you even hear a word I said?""I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention.""How can you say that so boldly? You don't even seem afraid of me at all.""Why should I be? Are you a monster?""No but I can be very scary.""You sound very stupid. Listen I don't have time for your tom foolery this early morning, unlike you I'm a very busy man." Jason turned his back on Chris who was still busy giving him reasons why he was scary. "Can we do this some other time p

    The week flew by so quickly and soon, it was Friday. Jason, his wife and his in-laws gathered in his living room once more to watch the announcement of the bid winner. Mabel wasn't putting on a shouting color like last time, maybe she felt it was redundant. Instead she wore a light blue long sleeved and a well fitted skirt that reached below her knees. To finish it off was a fur coat and black high heels. While her bodyguard dressed the same way he did last time, just different colors."Happy birthday mother." Jason commented with a smile but she just scoffed.The announcement began and this time it didn't take too long. After briefing the audience about what was going on, she announced the winner."I would also like to apologize for omitting the winner's identity on the last announcement, there was an issue that needed resolving. But thankfully, it has all been taken care of. So without further ado, the winner of the bid, and the person who gets to work with our esteemed company is…"

    Lauren was left home alone after Jason had gone out early in the morning, it was a Saturday and he didn't have to work but he claimed it was an urgent meeting. She was happy to finally be back in his home but there was something about him that seemed very unfamiliar to her. It was like the Jason she was currently living with was an older, and colder version of the Jason she fell in love with and got married to all those years ago. What made matters worse was that since they got back together, he had only kissed her twice, and it wasn't nearly as passionate as the kisses they shared back in their married life. He might have accepted her back into his house, but it didn't take a genius to know that he hadn't fully accepted her back in to his heart. And even though he said he was ready to claim full responsiblity of her baby, Lauren knew he was still in doubt about the real father. Well, she wasn't in a rush. She was going to take her time and win him back. After all, she was his wif

    "Thank you." Lauren said, breaking the deafening silence that had been sitting between her and Jason for almost ten minutes."For what?" "I never thought I would become the CEO of my mother's company, it was like a dream I never even dared to have, and yet you made it happen, and so easily too. I really appreciate it."Jason wanted to reply to her coldly or tell her he didn't do it for her and that it wouldn't change anything between them but after a brief thought, he decided to go with something entirely different. "You're welcome.""It's such a beautiful night, isn't it?""I can't tell, I'm much too focused on the traffic ahead." He replied simply without taking his eyes off the steering wheel. If someone saw him, they would think he was driving on a busy highway or something. But in reality, his mind was stuck on Erika. The more he remembered their fight, the angrier he felt at himself. Why would he say something so careless?Was he actually falling for Lauren1 again?He stole a

    "Good morning Mr Decker.""Morning Miss Bieber. To be honest, sometimes I feel weird calling you that." He admitted with a smile."Oh? Do you think there's something wrong with the name?" "No, not at all. It's just.. well I keep wondering if you have some relations with the pop artist.""Justin Bieber?" He nodded and she smiled, though he only meant it as a joke. "Then why don't you address me casually, and I'll do the same with you… I mean, if it's okay with you sir."Normally he wouldn't have had a problem with that, but with the way Jordan had reacted, Jason was feeling hesitant to speak casually with another staff. "I don't known if I can do that." "Oh I'm so sorry sir, I shouldn't have said that in the first place.""It's okay, for now let's stick with the formal addresses, once I feel comfortable taking a step further, I'll be sure to let you know.""Okay.""But feel free to talk to me about anything, anytime. Okay?""Understood. Then please permit me to bring up a topic.""Su

After the tables turned on them, Mabel and her husband relocated to a remote island far from New York where she was sure that she was a wanted person because of what she did to Jason as a child. What she didn't know was that Jason decided to bury the story, telling the media that he was sure the culprits would get what was coming to them. What made Mabel even more enraged was the fact that her son joined sides with her mortal enemy. She was expecting that much from Lauren who was blinded with love, but Marcus… she still couldn't believe it."That bastard son of mine is definitely on my list of enemies.

Just lay there for at least thirty more minutes." He said, holding her down. "How.. how did I get here?""Your brother brought you here, he said he found you unconscious at the park.""The park? Wait my brother?""Yes. He'll be here soon, he just stepped out to use the bathroom. How are you feeling?" He placed a hand on her forehead to feel her temperature. "Like my head is about to explode.

"Man, working without you has been really boring." He confessed, walking with Jason through the busy halls of the company. "Well, I'm back now.""Completely?""One hundred percent.

I'm just glad I could help.""You know, I am really happy I decided to make you my personal assistant."

    Meredith had trouble sleeping all night because of two reasons. The first one, Jason still hadn't replied to her offer and it was making her feel anxious. The second reason was because Josh had called her the night before and he said he wanted to see her. He said he realized how harsh he sounded and he wanted to apologize. He also said she didn't have to go to his place and if she was feeling unsafe in letting him visit her that they could just go to a cafe to talk. Joshua was her best friend and she didn't like fighting with him, but another part of her was feeling scared to see him. "Well since it's going to be a public place, I guess it's fine." She texted him and asked him to meet her at a cafe that wasn't too far from the mansion.When he arrived, he was smiling brightly, looking like the Josh she used to know. "Thank you for agreeing to see me." He said as he sat across her."It's okay.""I must admit, I lost my temper there for a while, and it made me go out of line. I'm sorr

It's totally fine by me if you want to stay a while longer."Mabel's response was an irritated look, followed by a nod of disapproval. "Where do I get my things?" She asked. "At least get out of your cell first, then you get your things." The warder led her out of her cell and back to the reception, where she was asked to write her name down and some other information. Then another officer brought her purse, jewelry and her phone that were taken from her the day she was detained.She went outside, hoping to see Lauren or Marcus waiting with a car but neither of them were there. She took out her phone and was about to dial Lauren when she noticed her car pull up at the front of the station. "Mother?" She seemed surprised to see her mother out of prison already. "How did you get out? Did Marcus come here?""You mean, it wasn't you?"

    Jason was feeling skeptical on whether it was okay to invite Marcus or not. Without his family involved, Marcus was a good person and Jason wanted to keep working with him and he didn't know why but he was getting the feeling that he had changed. But what if he hadn't? What if Marcus was still the same person? There were lots of what if questions that could hinder their friendship and even their work relationship. But Jason decided to trust him. He texted him and personally invited him to the ceremony, and to his surprise, Marcus replied almost immediately, saying he wouldn't miss it for the world.Jason texted him the venue and time and even told him the dress code as well. then just as he was done texting him, he received a call from his not so favorite cousin in France."What do you want Meredith?""What do you mean by that question?

    112. Change Of Path.

    Marcus had been thinking about his family for a few days and the conclusion he was always arriving at was not a good one. All his life, he had always tried his best to be the good son, the best child he could be to his parents. He was quiet, obedient and he always made sure he came in top in his studies. He never did anything to get on his parent's bad side, neither did he ever taint their image. If anything, he was the perfect child.They say all teenagers always have a rebellious phase, but he never did, he was always properly behaved.His father never really had their time so he leaned to his mother's side, always wanting to please her, to make her happy, to make her proud of him, and eventually… he became his mother's pet.His childhood, his teenage years, and even some of this adult life was dedicated to making sure his mother was proud of him, making sure she loved him. He didn't think about anything else. Not the life he could live for himself, not the name he could make for h

    111. Spontaneous Outing.

    For their date, Jason wanted to do something that would be memorable for both of them but he didn't know what. He tried long and hard to decide on where they could go, but nothing came to mind.Erika still insisted that they just went back to the mansion to prepare and look after his grandfather and the twins, but Jason knew that was because she was not having fun yet. So he had to fix that. At the moment, their car was currently parked at the gas station where Jason decided they stop for a refill, but it was just to give himself more time to think. He had never really think about it, but deep down, it felt like he had been anticipating the day that they would go on such a date. A day where they could do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted to. A day where he didn't have to worry about work, and she didn't have to worry about looking after the store. A day where they could just be a couple, just two people enjoying all the sweetness life had to offer. Obviously it was impos

    110. The Date.

    Jason was skeptical when his ex brother in law suddenly asked for his help, but he decided to trust him, of course he was not going to let his guard down though. "Need my help with what?" He asked."Like I said, we can't talk here. Let's find somewhere more private.""Can't we just go in?""You mean in the bakery? No thanks. I would rather keep my distance from baked food. I know how hard I had to work to get this body, I can't risk jeopardizing it again."Jason smiled at his statement, he remembered when he first met Lauren, then Marcus had just been her chubby, cake loving baby brother. She said he was obsessed with cake and that was the reason he gained much weight in such a short period. The reason Marcus stopped eating sweets was because other kids made fun of his size, and the girl he liked back then called him a fatso and said she could never be with a guy like him. "Right." He said simply. "So where do you want to go?""Personally I would prefer it if we just spoke in my car
