Brenda thought about the words Jason said, but she couldn’t understand them, and she had to ask questions. “What do you mean, Jay? What do you mean by no one said I was not going to see her?” Brenda continued staring at Jason who sighed heavily with a smile on his face, adjusted himself, and then cleared his throat.“What I meant was that she could come here…”“Really? Are you sure?” Brenda asked at once, her brows were lifted, and she grabbed his hands quickly while anticipating his response. “Yes, why not? I mean you said she is your best friend, right?” “Mmh-hmm!” Brenda nodded with a smile. “Good! I don’t want you going out there, Brenda. It’s not safe. Just tell her to come over. Besides, I would really love to meet her.” “Yes! Thank you so much, Jay!” Brenda dragged Jason into a warm embrace, and kissed him immediately after she pulled him away from her body. “I will just inform her right away!” She stood up from the couch at once and dialed her best friend’s numbe
That same afternoon, Jason was seated in the living room with Kelvin, and after they were done with the main reason he was there, a thought crept into Jason’s mind, and he decided to follow it up at once. “Young Master? I think that’s all for now. Everything you need is here, and I will keep a close eye on the rest.” Kelvin handed over a flash drive to Jason who held onto it carefully. “Thank you, Kelvin. One more thing…” Jason grabbed his phone from his pocket, and clicked on the hidden number that had been calling him. “Someone has been calling me with a hidden number for a while now, and I want to know who the caller is. Can you do something about this?” He showed the screen of the phone to Kelvin who looked at it closely. “May I?”“Yeah, sure! You can have it.” Jason handed over the phone to Kelvin who plugged it into his laptop and began to do his work at once while he watched with keen interest. “I just need to find the IP address on the phone, let’s just hope that t
While they ate quietly, Tricia couldn’t stop staring at Jason who constantly tried to avoid having any eye contact with her. Her eye gestures and her smile were a bit awkward, and she didn’t mind gawking at him while holding onto her cutleries. “Jay? Are you okay?” Brenda broke the silence in the hall, realizing that Jason had suddenly stopped eating while he bent his face to the table. Tricia stopped looking at him as soon as she saw that Brenda was turning to look at her. “I am fine.” “Don’t you like the food?”“Of course, I do! Annie is a wonderful chef!”“Then what’s the problem? You were enjoying the food a while ago.” “I am fine, maybe I just need some water.” Jason attempted to grab the the jug of water in front of him, but Brenda grabbed it before him because it was closer to him. “Let me help you.” Brenda poured some water into Jason’s glass and handed it over to him. “Thank you.” Jason said calmly after returning the glass to her. “Are you okay, now?”“Yeah.
The voices of family members, friends and well wishers who had come to pay their condolence to the Palmers could be heard echoing from the main hall of the massive Palmer mansion; exquisite chandeliers hung from several angles of the roof shining brightly, reflecting sparkling glitters on the wine glasses that most of the elite guests in the hall had in their hands. All in the hall were on black outfits.Lord Richard Palmer one of the wealthiest men in Granada Hills and the founder of Palmer Pharmaceuticals had just been buried. He died after a brief illness at 85.“So sorry for your loss Lady Palmer.”“Oh thank you so much.” Mrs. Alice Palmer responded to the man in stylish black suit and a black moccasin shoe to match.“Accept my deepest condolences Lady Palmer.” Said a lady putting on a black felt hat. She handed her a bouquet of roses, Mrs. Palmer took the roses with a smile.“Where the hell is that leech of a son-in-law?” Scouring through the hall, her eyes glaring with high c
The entire members of the Palmer family were seated at the conference table that evening; Lady Alice was at one end of the long table while the Attorney was at the other end. He had a large file in his hands and a sealed envelope carefully placed on the table.“What’s he doing here? He shouldn’t be here!”Andrew the eldest Grandson called the attention of of everyone in the room who tilted their heads to see Jason approaching.“Well, my client demanded that every one living in the family mansion and belonging to this family must be present before his will be read.” Jason quietly walked to the position his wife was seated and dragged out the chair next to her to sit. He avoided the angry looks in the room.“What the hell!” Maya mumbled scoffing. She was Andrew’s wife and the daughter of the Chief of Police in Granada Hills.“Why would Dad insist that this pauper joined us? I hope he is not included in the will.”Morgan couldn’t hold his dissatisfaction, he looked at his mother in sear
Jason had just returned from purchasing grocery; his wife had sent him off as usual to the store. That had always been the regular routine. Jason would always run errands while she went on social gatherings and had fun with her friends. Even the care of the baby became his responsibility.He walked into the house through the backdoor then he made use of the elevator, his two hands holding the grocery bags firmly. Approaching their apartment, he could hear laughter and giggling. Dropping the bags on the cabinet in the kitchen, he made his way to their bedroom curious of who was the owner of the deep male voice he could hear from the room.The door to the bedroom was slightly opening, Jason could see two figures on the bed lying very close to each other in a romantic manner. He opened the door wider and walked into the room hurriedly to behold the two persons kissing and caressing each other on the bed. His wife Isabella was on lingerie while the man was bare-bodied.“What the hell!”“
Jason was confused. He took the phone down and looked at the screen one more time but he was certain that he didn’t know who was at the other end of the call.“Who is this?”“It is I Harry, young Master. Your Grandfather and I have been in search of you for decades.”“I don’t know you Harry. You must be mistaken. I am Jason Caruso not your Master.”“No young Master. Your name is Jack Walker and I would prove it to you, come to the address I would send to you.”The call dropped and a message came in almost immediately. “No 51 Chariot Street.”Jason dipped his hand inside his pockets, there was only a 20 dollar note left with him. The Palmers couldn’t let him take the bike which was given to him or any other possession.He walked through the road until he got to the highway. There was a taxi coming and so he waved at the driver who pulled over in front of him.“Take me to this address.” Jason showed the address on the phone screen to the driver who nodded.“That would be 18 bucks.” Ja
Jason heaved a great sigh of relief. He was finally someone of great substance and no one was ever going to push him around again. He remembered the recent events that occurred and the urge to get back at Clark and the Palmers crept into his soul.“You have to get acquainted with your father’s companies; its been so hectic taking care of things. I am not getting any younger; my bones are feeble now. Everything is yours; the companies, the banks, the cars, the houses, the hotels, the hospitals. Everything!”“Not now Grandpa, I have a few things I need to take care of. I need to be in the life of my son, your Great-grand-son.”“Very well then, Harry here will make sure you lack absolutely nothing pending when you are ready to assume your rightful position. Its so good to have you back Jack!”Jason hugged his Grandfather and left the room with Harry. He wasn’t certain of what his plans were but he knew that it was certainly going to be a long ride for all those who had humiliated him wh
