"Hey!"Jason paused his movements but he didn't turn around. Rose had been calling from for almost a week but he didn't answer any of her calls or reply her text messages. He didn't know what she wanted to talk about and to be frank, he didn't care. After the stunt she pulled with her father, Jason decided it was best to cut ties with her completely."Are you just going to stand there?! Don't you think you should apologize for what you did?"Right. He should just apologize to her. He should apologize and disappear from her life completely. "I'm sor—" Wait. What the hell was he apologizing for?He didn't do anything wrong. If anything, Rose was supposed to be the one to apologize for the way she ruined his reputation with her father."Apologize for what, exactly?""Excuse me?""I didn't do anything wrong. I only told the truth.""That was not our agreement!""Right, and it was our agreement that you tell your father that I broke up with you? What, are you trying to get me killed?""I
Since the day Jason had asked Matthew about the relationship between his father and Erika's father, he hadn't heard from either of them. Neither his butler, not his grandfather. He wanted to call to confirm if there were still any hostile feelings towards him but he decided to wait a bit longer. But how long?A day?Or maybe two. Jason didn't know how long he was supposed to wait. Or maybe he wasn't even supposed to wait at all. Maybe instead of wasting time thinking about it, he should just march down to the mansion and apologize for ticking them off. He couldn't decide and it was driving him crazy. When he arrived at his apartment he heard Lauren's voice and then he also heard the louder, harsh voice of her mother. What now?"Just answer my question already Lauren. Is he here?" He heard her demand urgently."No." Lauren replied her, then asked. "Is something wrong?""Lauren, Phil came to me earlier today. He said he just got his hands on a really big deal. He said it was so big th
Jason wasn't sure he heard him right. His father… had an affair?With another woman. The woman who just happened to be the mother of the woman he was currently in a relationship with.He wasn't sure how that information made him feel. "Sire, I know this doesn't change anything but the relationship wasn't imposed. It was decision- though a wrong one- made by two grown adults."Jason never met his father so he couldn't tell what he was like, but he had met Erika's mother. Personal and up close, and she didn't strike him as someone who could do such a thing. Then again, he never knew Lauren could cheat on him until she actually did."So why did Mr Anderson make such a report to the police?""He found out about his wife's affair with your father and he was not happy about it. He concluded that your father must have forced her.""So he just assumed and ran to the cops? That's unfair.""He knew he couldn't win your father because of his financial status, so he intended on ruining his repu
As Jason slowly made his way home, he couldn't stop thinking about Matthew's words. He knew Mabel wasn't a good woman and he also suspected that she might have dabbled in shady businesses from time to time but kidnapping? And she didn't just kidnap anyone, she kidnapped the son of someone who took her as a friend."James and his wife weren't the only ones who lived in the mansion. In fact, the couple from the story I told you are in fact, Mabel Kings and her husband." Matthew had explained everything to him. While it was true that his grandfather took a liking to Mr Anderson and his wife, his parents had housed Mabel and her family before then.To think that he was married to Lauren for over two years without knowing the true identity of her mother. A lot of thoughts began to float around in his mind. Could it be that his whole marriage with Lauren was just a scheme?Were they trying to figure out if he remembered?Or could it be that Lauren had fallen for him sincerely but her pare
Jason glanced at his wristwatch to check the time. Since he got back the night before, he didn't change his clothes, he didn't even bother to take off his shoes. Instead he just plopped down on the ground, resting his head on his bed.All his life, Jason didn't think he had ever felt as bad as he was feeling.He never really liked her but it was still displeasing to find out that the wonan he called mother for over three years, the woman whose blessing he had wanted to get so bad, was the same woman that disrupted his life's journey.His mother didn't live a happy life because the only child she ever had was taken from her at the age of eight, and she never saw him again.If he had died as a child, probably due to some sickness or an accident, it would have hurt but they would eventually get over it. They would have cried for him, then mourned for him, but eventually, no matter how long it might have taken… they would have moved on. But the case was entirely different.She had no idea
Rain lashed against the windshield of the ash mini van that drove down a deserted, one lane highway, the driver was aware that he was going over the speed limit but he went on anyway, probably in a hurry to beat time. The wheels slipped a little on the wet slippery pavement, but he managed to keep the car steady. The man behind the wheel peered through the front window trying to see what was ahead of him but the impending fog made it difficult to see anything. The weather forecast had predicted rain and a bit of thunder so he was hoping to make it to his appointment before mother nature let down her natural showers, but it was already too kate.Outside the front window, the rain was coming down in torrents, blurring his vision even more. The windshield wipers whipped back and forth over the window, attempting to clear away the large droplets clinging to the glass – but it seemed they weren’t moving fast enough. Looking out his side window, the driver was a little uneasy as he realize
"Is everything alright sir? You seem troubled." Steve asked, noticing the worried expression on Jason's face.Troubled was an understatement. He was more than troubled, he was anguished, disconcerted, distressed and above all, he was scared.Scared of losing his child, sacred of losing his soulmate, his family. He was scared."Uh… someone close to me was involved in an accident, and it's quite serious.""Is it Miss Anderson?"For the first time Jason looked up at Steve, how did he know? And he wasn't personally involved with Erika but he seemed genuinely worried about her as he stood over Jason. "Yeah, it's been almost two weeks now and she's still unconscious.""What are the doctors saying?""They're raking care of her but I don't see any improvement. You sound really worried about her.""I am, but I am also worried about you. I've never seen you this way before and it's bothering me."Jason tried to smile but his face wasn't ready to cooperate with him. "It's fine, I'll take care of
"Jason, are you going out?" Lauren inquired as Jason walked towards the exit."Well I'm certainly not coming here to play with the door am I?" Things between he and Lauren had been going downhill with each passing day. She eventually got the abortion she wanted, probably as a means of getting a step ahead of Phil. Since that day, they hadn't sat down together at the table for a meal. He started leaving home at least an hour earlier than usual and returned even later. And whenever he was at home, he'd spend the whole day in his bedroom.It had been three weeks and four days since Erika's had been in a coma and Jason was starting to look like he also needed the attention of a doctor. He didn't eat as often as he normally did, and whenever the night sky took over, he would just lay awake in his room till the sunlight would start to poke through the curtains. Living without Erika was immensely hard.Her mother had been giving him a tough time because he refused to sign the agreement form.
