"What?" Jason asked, making sure he heard her correctly."You see, Phil was really desperate to get back at you, and after learning that your wife–""--ex wife." Jason corrected."Right. Ex wife, Lauren, had gotten rid of their baby, it only fueled his anger and hatred towards you. Then he met this young lady, I think her name was Rose, and she offered him a job with her father in exchange that he did something for her in return.""And what is that thing?""I'm sorry sir but that is what I don't know. There's only so much information I can get out of that man these days, our divorce definitely made it harder for me to know what he's planning.""It's alright, and thank you for warning me.""It's the least I can do. It doesn't matter if I'm your assistant or not, I still have to do my best to look out for you."He was supposed to just say thank you but his curiosity pushed him to ask. "Why?""Because you're like a son to Mr Matthew, and I practically owe Mr Matthew my life. So the least
"What!" Both men chorused."Why would you take such a thing lightly?" His grandfather added. "The reason you are still a secret CEO is because we want you to be safe, and now you think you might be in danger and you're taking it so lightly?""I'm sorry, okay. That was the main reason I came here today, I was going to tell you what I heard but we've been talking about other things and…""I understand. Now, not leaving out a single word, explain what happened.""Well Rose was the first person who told me that my life was in danger because I turned down her father's offer.""Who is Rose, and what was her father's offer?"Jason sighed, it was time for him to come clean. His grandfather and his butler would definitely be disappointed in him for doing such a thing without their consents, but it was too late to hide anything again. "Um her name is Roslyn Sinclair… the daughter of David Sinclair.""Young master, do you have any idea who that man is?" His butler asked."From the look on his fa
"I don't know about the daughter, but I don't trust Mabel from here to there." His grandfather voiced out his opposition as Jason and Okoye were about to leave.Okoye was his grandfather's strongest and most loyal bodyguard. Every trip he went on, Okoye was always there by his right hand."You still think we're walking into a trap?""Very much so.""Sire… I might have to agree with your grandfather on this one." Matthew slowly agreed."Alright, so what do you suggest?""I just feel we should take precautionary measures.""Alright, I'm ready to listen to whatever plan you both have.""Jolly good. Well your grandfather thinks it will be safe if you had a back up plan.""I don't know what will happen exactly but I am very certain something will." His grandfather started. "So, naturally the way forward will be finding a way out if it. My intuition is telling me Mabel isn't going to let her daughter sign the divorce papers, she might also try to prevent you from leaving freely, and that is
Jason was back at the mansion, and his grandfather was acting like nothing happened. The video of Lauren being arrested was all over the news, what she did was still a mystey to everyone– Jason included– but, there were rumors. Lauren kings was arrested for working with Phil Garcia to ruin her husband's life after he filed for a divorce.Lauren kings, although claims to be a responsible first class citizen, is actually a criminal whose deeds have finally caught up to her.Those were the rumors circulating all over the city. Facebook, twitter, instagram, and even the news. Although there were some others that Jason wasn't a fan of like; Jason Paul Decker had his ex wife arrested because she refused to sign their divorce papers.Jason Paul Decker was willing to set up his ex wife just so he could live happily with his mistress.He had tried asking his grandfather if it was still part of his back up plan, but the man was dead silent. Okoye claimed he had no idea what was going on, and M
According to the police officer, Lauren had plotted with Rose's bodyguard to take her life. The reason for her actions, he said they were still unknown but he had some officers working on it and hopefully soon, they would be able to find and arrest the bodyguard. "How can you be so sure that Lauren was involved?" Jason asked, mostly out of curiosity than concern."I believe I said the charges was attempted murder… meaning the victim survived.""So Rose told you Lauren tried to kill her, and you believed it?"Jason didn't know if it was the look on his face or the slight change in his voice that was giving off a signal but the man leaned forward, folded his hands on the table in front of him and stared directly into Jason's eyes. "You seem to think her story is a lie? Any reason for that?"Jason cleared his throat and backed away. "I never said she was lying, I was just saying she could be. Rose isn't a person you can trust.""And how, if I may ask, do you know that? Because if I'm ri
"Hello?""It's me sire, I was just calling to check in on things.""Oh? Thanks Matthew. But this isn't your number.""You're right. It isn't. Your grandfather insists on leaving you to handle things on your own but I just had to give you a call to know how you're doing.""Thanks, I'm okay. He has been asking lots of questions about my marriage with Lauren but I don't think anything major will happen from it.""Good to know. And did he tell you the reason she was arrested?""Yes. Apparently she tried to kill someone.""What? She did?""Yeah. To be honest it's still kinda puzzling that Lauren would do such a thing. I mean sure she has done some bad things in her life, but murder… it's shocking.""I guess that's why they say you can't judge a book by its cover. One might look harmless on the surface but they could be as dangerous as a wild animal.""A wild animal?""I didn't know what else I could use to compare their dangerous nature."Jason smiled at his butler's comment and from the c
As the evening casted her shadowy garment, when the breeze became brand-new and placid, the time of joyful reflection had arrived. He needed to clear his head, and so he decided not to take the car, he dashed out of the police station, plodding into the silent street of their little town. He decided to take a slow walk, slow enough for him to clear up all the mumbled thoughts from his mind but not slow enough to miss his ride. Thankfully, his grandfather's friend had been delayed so he had an additional thirty minutes. He needed to think straight - alone. The cool breeze pricked his skin, holding the scent of earthy fragrance around the surrounding. When Jason was seventeen, he had met Lauren and he had been attracted to her ever since. Sure she didn't know who he was but he always viewed her as a loving, kind, and caring woman. Then they had fallen in love, and he was even more convinced that she was an angel on earth. If his mother in law was the one who got arrested, he wou
FLASHBACK."Mother, I want you to do everything possible to make me Jason's wife again. And I don't want Erika, or any other woman, to get in my way.""Really? Why does it have to be that loser?""I can NOT lose like this mother! Do you have any idea how ridiculously lame it would be for me, Lauren Kings– your daughter– to lose against that… that nobody?!" Competition was one other thing that her mother responded to. Lauren watched with pleasure as her mother frowned, obviously pondering what she had just said. "Are you really okay with that?""No." She said quietly, then added more firmly. "I am definitely not okay with that. Erika or whatever her name is has got to go. Don't you worry Lauren, I am going to handle this. You just leave it to me!""Thanks mother. Once I'm Jason's wife again, I will gladly hand over the company to you."After their discussion, Mabel immediately sprung into action, Lauren putting the company as a reward made her mind go into overdrive. She thought about
