"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
Meeting with Rose's father was always a problem for Jason. The first time he went over to their house, a lot of thoughts were on his mind and he was afraid that the man would be scary… and he actually was.The second time, Jason was less nervous and the third time was well… it was normal for him. It was now very clear to him that Rose's father and the entire Board was just an organization filled with greedy old men and women that kept yearning for more power and money. He had to take them down.Sometimes he would remember Erika's words and his whole plan would suddenly lose all meaning and sense to him. She had asked him why it was so important that he take down the Board. "Your wife and her family treated you poorly and they looked down on you, so I can understand your reason for wanting revenge. But what about the Board? I mean, you didn't even know they existed so why are you so intent on taking them down?" She had asked.If he was being honest with himself, that was a question he
"How much are you offering?" "Ten million dollars." Rose announced proudly."You're asking me to give up my boyfriend, you have to pay more.""Come on, don't be greedy." Jason said, even though he was the one encouraging her to go further."If the lady wants my boyfriend, the she would have to pay the sum of fifteen– no, twenty million." Jason smiled at the price she mentioned and it almost made her smile too. She just wanted to jump into his arms and hug him for the rest of the day."Jason, twenty million is too much, don't you think?""I think so. But to be fair, you do want to pay her off completely. Right?""Of course. But how about this instead? I give you fifteen million dollars, and a new boyfriend?"Jason's gaze immediately shifted to Rose. "What new boyfriend?'"You." Rose smiled and pulled Erika by the arm, leading her away from both men."What is this nonsense?" Chris demanded when they were alone."Isn't it obvious? You're being sold off." Jason replied nonchalantly."Lis
FOUR DAYS EARLIER."So? What's going on?" Erika demanded as soon as she was alone with Jason. After much persuasion from Erika, Chris had agreed to go on a date with Rose and Jason refused to leave her alone."I know everything that happened must he strange to you,""That's an understatement. I saw my boyfriend kiss another woman and then I sold off my ex- boyfriend to that same woman and I'm fifteen million dollars richer." When she finished, Jason leaned back into his chair, a cute smile on his face. "What?""Boyfriend." He said simply and Erika rolled her eyes. "It's nice to see that you still consider me your boyfriend.""Oh JP, I never stopped considering you a boyfriend it's just… you have to talk to me. I don't know what's going on. Is there a specific reason you're going after the Board? And what about Lauren? I need to know what's going on with her too.""Right, you're right." He knew he couldn't explain everything to her just yet but at least, he could still tell her some th
"So what you're saying is… he agreed?""Yes!" Rose nodded again and Jason couldn't believe it. For someone who was so hell bent on taking Erika from him, he found it hard to believe that he just agreed to get married to another woman after a couple of dates together."You asked him to marry you… and he said yes?""Oh yes for the love of God Jason, stop repeating the same question over and over!""Right, my bad. I'm just so happy for you I guess.""I know! I'm so happy for me too." It was obvious that she was excited, anyone could tell. But anyone could also tell that she wasn't in love or anything. She probably rejected Jason's advances of love because she thought he was some kind of lovesick puppy, but even at that, if he had given her the chance, she would have had intimate relations with him because she found him attractive.If not completely, Jason had known Rose to a specific amount, and it was very easy to tell that what she felt for Chris was not love. Instead it was probably
The stars. Very beautiful.Thousands of sparkling diamonds just sitting up there in the sky, making the night sky look uniquely beautiful. Jason loved looking up at the stars, watching each one twinkle in the clear dark blue sky.Whenever he looked up at them, he always felt… at peace. He couldn't quite understand it but seeing the moon and stars always made him relax. He didn't remember his childhood days but he could remember that he loved looking at the stars.As he laid on the bench by the pond, his mind, replaying the words of his private investigator over and over like a broken record, to the extent that Jason started to feel bleak. He felt dejected. He began to question every word, every feeling, every moment with her."JP?"He sat up at the sound of her voice."Are you okay? You've been acting weird since you got back from work. Did something happen?" The tone in her voice was unmistakable. She was worried. Worried about him.Was there a chance that he had made a mistake some
While they were having their breakfast, Jason pretended not to pay attention to Lauren as she told him about her mother taking Phil to her brother's office but he was listening to her very attentively.Apparently, it had angered Mabel so much that she had to call Lauren to vent it out to her. Jason knew Marcus rejected Phil because he knew the kind of man he truly was. It was just relaxing to know that one of his major opposer was on his side for once.While he was driving to the cafe he had chosen to meet his brother in law, Jason could only think about one thing. Erika. When Matthew told him about his parents, he said they had helped a couple who eventually ruined his life and his entire family.Then he also remembered Mr Anderson's words, he said when he and his wife first got to the US, he was working with his grandfather, was there a chance that they were actually the ones who kidnapped him? Amd eventually caused trouble for his family.He told himself he wouldn't hold any grudge
After Jason left the Sandler mansion, he wasn't sure of the next step to take. He thought about calling Rose and accusing her but he decided against it. He didn't want to go back to the apartment because he wasn't in the mood to see anyone. (Sir, are you busy? It's about what you asked.)As he read the message, Jason instantly remembered what he had demanded that his private investigator do for him.Before Jason was reunited with his butler and his grandfather, the only thing he remembered about his childhood was growing up in an orphanage, anything further than that always just gave him a splitting headache so he gave up on trying to remember.Then he was reunited with his family, and since then he had been remembering some things, just bits and pieces like a scene from a movie he had watched a long time ago.Mathew told him about his parents, and he also told him about the untimely and heartbreaking deaths they had, but something deep in Jason's heart kept telling him that his butl
