"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
Lauren was patiently awaiting the arrival of her brother and not more than thirty minutes later, he walked in. "I called, why didn't you answer?" She questioned as he shut the door."I'm sorry sis, I did not even realize that I was low on battery. I forgot to charge it before leaving home and I didn't take my charger or my power bank with me.""Okay. Well, how was the place you went?" Marcus didn't want to tell his sister that he failed to get the contract he had hoped for. He hated to admit it but, without Jason around, his business had not being doing too well. "It was fine. Phil called me and he said his flight was delayed so he won't be able to get here today. But he will get here tomorrow evening. Is that okay?""Sure, I guess. The important thing is that he does get here. Marcus, I can't thank you enough for your help on this issue.""You don't have to thank me, after all she is my mother too, and I can't just ignore her to rot in jail.""Father doesn't seem to have a problem w
NEW YORK.Thankfully their trip went according to plan so they were back in New York safe and sound. From the airport they went straight to the mansion and as Matthew laid eyes on them, he was overjoyed. The old butler immediately dropped his cup of tea and rushed over to trap Jason in a bear hug."It is good to see you too Matthew." Jason was not sure Matthew had hugged him before, except for the first day he was reunited with his grandfather. After that day, physical touch was limited to just taps on the shoulder."I have been eagerly awaiting your arrival, and now that you are finally here, we should have a feast." He said excitedly."A feast?""Yes. First we are celebrating the safe arrival of our young master. Then second, the birth of the newest member of the Decker family, little Anya Decker.""And Andrew Decker." Erika said , holding little Andrew so Matthew could see him. Sure enough, when he did notice, the joy on his face was unhidden. He gently took him out of Erika's han
Jason was seated comfortably on his king sized sofa, with Erika snuggled close to him as they watched a movie that coincidentally happened to be both their favorite; Mr and Mrs Smith.Jason loved it because of the romance part, that proved that no matter how different two people were, as long as there was love between them, they could always make it work.Erika on the other hand, she said she loved the action part, with the fighting and all the shooting.Thankfully for him, it was a weekend and he intended to spend it with his woman of his dreams before he had to face the horrors of the new week.By horrors he meant his job. Matthew said he was well rested so he had to go back to work on Monday, but he was feeling reluctant to go.Erika had made plans on how they were going to spend their day. She said, when they were done with breakfast, they would watch their favorite movie and after that, they would go for a walk and get ice cream, and so far so good, he was enjoying their relaxing
Since they saw the video Meredith posted about two hours ago, they– mostly Jason— had been on edge. He was pacing around the living room, mumblimg to himself and occasionally throwing out some curse words as well. Erika hated seeing him like that but every time she went close to him to try to talk to him or get him to calm down, he would say. 'It's alright, I'm okay. Just thinking.' so eventually, she just left him to do his 'thinking' in peace.Matthew still had not returned and she was starting to feel worried, because he never went out for that long without informing anyone. Jason on the other hand, was getting angry because the meeting they were supposed to have was being delayed by Matthew's lateness."I'm going to the kitchen for a drink," Erika said, breaking the odd silence that had filled the living room. "Do you want anything?"Jason's reply was something between a no and a frustrated groan, almost like she was disturbing him."Suit yourself. I'm getting myself a drink, and
Matthew and Jason's grandfather decided to spend the night at a hotel, it seemed like their pursuer wanted to know where they were headed, so whoever hired them wanted to know the location of the Decker mansion. The location was not a secret and so seeing how they have to follow them around to find out where it was, it was safe to say that the person was not from around.After resting for the night at the hotel, both men discarded their expensive suits for a more casual outfit that Matthew had paid one of the hotel staff to get for them. Then to attract less attention to each other, they left the hotel separately and each boarded a taxi to take them to their location. Matthew was the one to arrive first and when Jason saw him putting on jeans and a t shirt, he almost burst out laughing. "Where's my grandfather?" He asked, trying his best to hide his amusement."He should be here any moment now. And I know you must be wondering about my… choice of clothing.""Not at all, it suits yo
