FLASHBACK.SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO.THE HOME OF THE EVANS."Julian, this is madness!""Madness? Tell me what is so mad in me wanting to make money?""By kidnapping someone else's son? This is not making money Julian, this is committing a crime, and I will not be a part if it!""Suit yourself brother, but don't come running back to me when I am busy spending all the money I make from this deal." "And where do you think you are going?""To my room, where else?""Did you not hear what I just said? I just said I do not want any part in this nonsense. Meaning there is no place for you or your girlfriend in my house.""Your house? Did you forget that our father owns this house? And that means I have just the same amount of right as you do.""And did you forget that after our father died, you were not given a share of his property? He left his company and this house to me. Did you forget?""Oh so that is the card you want to pull? Is that it?""Julian, regardless of the fact that we are only ha

NEW YORK."What the hell are you talking about Phil?!""I'm sorry Lauren but I don't think I can come back to the city just yet. There is this deal that I am still trying to sign, it is going to be worth it when I do so please try to understand.""Worth it, for you or for me?""Us, my dear. It will be worth it for both of us, so please let me finish up here before I come back there.""Did you even hear a word I said? My mother is still at the police station, and Rose said the only way she is going to drop the charges against her is if you show up. How can you tell me you can't?""I understand my dear–""Stop calling me that! Just find a way to get over here tomorrow.""To be fair, it wasn't my fault that your mother committed a crime, so why should I have to abandon my work because of her?""Did I just hear you say what I think you said? It wasn't your fault? So you can't help her out?""That is not what I meant Lauren, it's just, I wish you would understand me. If I leave now, it wou

"You wanted to see me, Miss Evans?""Yes sir, or is this a bad time?""Not at all. Please, have a seat." She obliged and sat next to David Sinclair at the dining table and he added. "You know, I had a feeling you would come.""You did?"He nodded in reply, taking a sip from his tea. "I presume this is about my right hand man, Julian?"Shantel's response was a firm nod. "How well do you know that man?" She asked, folding her hands on the table."I admit, I haven't known him for that long but I feel that he is quite trustworthy. Though by the look on your face, I'm guessing you don't agree with me?""I don't. Mr Sinclair, you have no idea what that man is capable of.""And you are here to tell me, or am I wrong?""If I do, will you believe me?""I think I need to hear your explanation first before deciding on whether I can believe you or not.""Very well. As much as I hate to admit it, he is related to my family.""He is your uncle, yes I am aware.""Step, uncle." She corrected. "He was

"Meredith, can we talk?""I have nothing to say to you, so if you don't mind I would like to continue with my work."Jason needed to lure her out of the mansion, so taking no for an answer was not an option. "It's really important that you and I talk."She didn't respond, instead she kept typing angrily on her laptop and normally Jason would have just walked away, but now was not the time for that. He needed to do his part so the others could do theirs quickly and without interruption.They had to leave France the next day and Jason didn't want Meredith to be aware, in fact, he wished no one would be alerted of their travelling. So his first option was for them to leave without packing at all, but it didn't sit right with Erika and her parents, so he came up with option two.Lure Meredith out of the house so they could quickly pack their luggages and take it to a hotel that he had booked for the night. Then once it was morning, they would each come up with an excuse to leave the house

FLASHBACK.ONE DAY AGO.FRANCE."So, what you're saying is that we still have to leave by Saturday?""Unfortunately. I'm really sorry you have to go through the stress, Matthew is just really worried that Meredith might try something and with Shantel now working with the Board… it's just not safe here anymore.""I understand, but how are we going to leave without Meredith noticing? It's not like we can hide all of our luggages, and unless you have a shrink ray somewhere that we can use, I say she's going to notice."Erika was right, he didn't have that much things exept his clothes and shoes, though there were some new items he had gotten but it still wasn't that much. Erika's bags on the other hand, had doubled, not that it was entirely her doing though. He had contributed in the increments of her things by getting her every nice dress or shoe he found at the mall. Then Meredith had also gifted her with some nice outfits and accessories. He didn't know anything about her parent's b

"Jason, I have loved you all my life. I don't know if you know this but, after you were taken, I almost killed myself. I wasn't the same without you.""I'm so sorry about that." He was aware, because his butler had told him all about it. And even though he wasn't at fault, Jason felt bad for making her go through something so painful at such a young age. He wished she would give him a chance to make things up to her, but not in the way she was implying. He wanted to make up for old times, he wanted them to go back to the time when they were best friends, he wanted to know what it felt like to have a sister… but it was obvious that what Meredith wanted was entirely different."I don't need you to be sorry!" She blurted out, catching the attention of some of the other customers around. "I need you to make up for all the time we lost!. And the only way you can do that, is by getting married to me.""Married?!" Jason's eyes bulged in shock as he heard her. She wasn't even talking about

FRANCE.As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jason knew it was not true. Even if Erika hadn't come into the picture, he was not sure he would fall in love with Meredith. Besides, there was still Lauren. But maybe, just maybe if they had grown up together, maybe instead of Shantel, she was his best friend, maybe it could have happened.He hated the fact that all the woman that were supposed to be his people, to be on his side, were the ones trying to make his life more complicated than it needed to be.First it was Lauren, before the incident with Phil and their divorce, if someone had seen a vision that Lauren would break his heart, Jason would have said it was balderdash. Lauren was the sweetest woman he knew and to him, she was an angel. The fact that she accepted him and had a secret wedding with him even though he was poor made him feel that she was the most perfect woman there was.Boy was he wrong.Then Rose came along– and although their relationship was based solely on

NEW YORK.Lauren didn't know how her brother did it but when he told her that Phil had agreed to come back to New York in two days, she was over the moon. Finally her mother would be free from the present state she was in. Normally, she should have been taken to court and given a sentence for her crime, but because someone as powerful as Rose Sinclair was involved, she was able to manipulate the police custody into just keeping her there until she was satisfied with the punishment.She was not being tortured or anything, she was just locked away and all electronic devices were taken from her. From the way her mother described it, she said they just locked her in a small room with only a small bed and a mirror. Then there was a toilet seat and a roll of tissue for her to use.She hated the fact that she was powerless in the situation, especially since her mother was involved. So as much as it pained her, she had to just fold her arms and watch her brother do all the work. Of course, af

SOMEWHERE IN SWITZERLAND.MABEL'S NEW HOME."They think they've won, just like that. They think they can just toss me to the side and expect me to stay still. Me, Mabel Kings, a woman of high status, forced to live as measly as a beggar. I am not going to take it.""If you are not going to take it, then what will you do about it?" 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. How dare he double cross me? I have to make him pay fo

FRANCE.Meredith regained consciousness with a huge gasp for air like she had been drowning. She quickly surveyed her surroundings and saw that she was at a hospital. She tried to remember what happened but everything was fuzzy. "Ugh, my head." She tried to sit up but a all man eased her to lay back down. "Easy now, you shouldn't sit up just yet. 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. What happened to me?""You mean you don't remember?""Not really, everything is just so fuzzy.""Don't worry, it'll come back to you in a while. I'm doctor Brady by the way." He said with a warm smile. "Meredith.""Okay Meredith. Just take it easy ok
116. The Ceremony.
NEW YORK."Hey Steve,""Mr Decker! Is it weird to say I missed you?""Not at all. Because I missed you too." Steve was one of the reasons Jason was actually looking forward to resuming work. "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. My grandfather told me you helped greatly in planning for this ceremony, I'm really grateful.""When he said you needed my help, I was more than eager to assist. I'm just glad I could help.""You know, I am really happy I decided to make you my personal assistant." Jordan was very competent when it came to working, even more than Steve was, but there was one place she was lacking greatly… and that was her social aspect.Steve knew how to cheer a person up and being around him always made the room more lively. But Jordan believed in going straight to business. She believed that once she was at work, the only thing sh
115. Family Meeting.
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
114. For Infinity.
"You're free to go.""What? Did someone settle my bail? Was it my daughter?" "Just get out already, or maybe you're already used to the lifestyle here? 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?"
113. Promise Of Love.
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? Didn't you see the video I posted?""So?""You know what it's about, right?""And if I do?""Then I'm also guessing that it would be bad if I were t
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
