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.
"Why did you lie to me?" Jason questioned with authority."What are you talking about?""Don't you dare try to play dumb with me. There is nothing wrong with our baby, is there?" Doctor Jonathan couldn't answer and he lowred his gaze, staring down at his table, adding proof to doctor Brady's accusations."I'll ask you again doctor. Why. Did. You. Lie?" He asked slowly and doctor Jonathan suddenly started looking nervous. "Do you want me to involve the police?""No sir. I'm sorry, it wasn't my fault." He blurted out. "It was your mother in law sir, she said she didn't want her daughter to have your child, she said it would ruin her family and that was why I did it. You see sir, she and I go back a long way and I didn't want anything that would harm her or her family. I'm really sorry." He sounded apologetic and he couldn't look into Jason's eyes as he spoke. "Please sir," he dropped to his knees. "Don't report me to the police, my life will be ruined if you do. Please, I have a wife a
"I thought you were honoring my wishes by not setting foot in my house, should I assume that you no longer want to honor my wish any longer?" David Sandler said, a pompous smile on his face. Rose had gone over to Jason's house to relay her father's messages. He was offering him a seat on the Board on the condition that he continued with the marriage process with her. Finding a way into the Board had been Jason's mission all along. He believed that the most effective way to disrupt their whole system would be to do it from the inside, and now that he had been given that opportunity on a silver platter, he had to utilize it well."Mr Sandler–""Please, call me father." The man corrected. "I can proudly tell you that you have made the right choice. Becoming a member of the Board will not only make you more powerful, it will also make you a very rich man. Don't you want to be a rich man Jason?"He wanted to be, and he already was. Probably even richer than Mr Sandler was. As for the pow
"Doctor Brady, I don't know what to do anymore. Erika doesn't seem to be getting any better.""Calm dowm Mr Decker, I understand how you must feel, a situation like this can not be easy on anyone, but I'm doing my best and I'm sure something will come up very soon.""She has been in coma for almost two months, just one more week to go and then… then what's going to happen to our baby?.""I'll do my best to make sure she wakes up before then, please Mr Decker, you have to be patient. I'm sure that in a day or two, we will receive a positive update.""Okay, I'll take your word for it. Well I guess I should say thank you. She wouldn't have gotten better if we hadn't moved her here.""No need to thank me sir, I'm simply doing my job.""I really appreciate it. Um doctor, may I ask you a question?""Of course sir, go ahead.""Do you… know who I am?""Can you please explain what you mean?""Well Matthew said–""Ah, that's what you're asking. Well sir, I am fully aware that you are the only s
