Marcelo looked at the two guards standing close to him one after the other, and he could tell that they were still agile and eager to sink their fists into his belly if he didn’t give in.

“What’s it gonna be, Marcelo? Are you ready to talk?” Jason asked calmly, but Marcelo wasn’t sure if he was ready to let go of his stubbornness or not as he turned to look at him with a neutral expression on his face.

Jason stared at him for a while, and without having any form of patience in him, he sighed heavily and chuckled.

“I guess you have made your choice then….Boys?” Jason gestured to the guards who gladly turned to continue their beating.

“Wait! Wait! I will tell you what you want, okay? Just hold on!” Marcelo lost his vigor almost immediately as he looked to see that the men were approaching with so much force.

“I will talk!” He continued panting while he kept his eyes on the men who looked at Jason for further instruction, and stopped when he gestured to them to stay calm.

    Marcelo gasped when he saw James approaching with the phone in his hands, and his heart started to beat really fast. “What did you do? What did you do? Did you record me?” Marcelo asked James who ignored him and walked up to Jason who grabbed the phone from him and watched the video record. “This is lovely. Thank you, James. You have done really well.” “Thank you, Young Master,” James said with a bow, and then he stepped aside. “What did you do? Answer me! Answer me!” Marcelo said with a loud tone, looking at Jason who ignored him and continued watching the video recorded with the screen. Marcelo could hear his voice from the phone, and even though he couldn’t see the screen of the phone clearly, he could tell that it was a video recording. “I am talking to you! Did you record me? Why am I hearing my voice from that phone?” Marcelo asked with a high tone, looking at Jason who chuckled before he lifted his face from the phone, and looked at him.“Isn't it obvious? Do I still

    The dark room was silent, but it was almost possible to hear Marcelo’s heart as it pounded aggressively while he struggled to catch his breath. “Oh, wow!” Jason nodded in excitement the moment he looked at the screen of the phone after a few seconds of silently waiting for a notification to pop up, and immediately he heard the sound of the vibration which was accompanied by a beep sound from the phone, he looked at the screen. “We have ten comments already, and so many reactions to the post. It’s only been a few minutes.” Jason nodded as he clicked on the screen of the phone. “This one right here says ‘he is a pervert’. Oh wow! Let’s see what the others are saying.” Jason nodded while he scrolled through the information on the screen. “This lady here says ‘He should be castrated for doing that to women, his mother should be ashamed of him’ If only they knew that your family supports your evil act, let’s see this one right here…” Jason cleared his throat while he scrolled to re

    Jason walked into the hospital and headed straight to his Grandfather’s ward without greeting the nurses who were surprised that he ignored them even when they waved at him. “He seems very much excited.” One of the nurses said to her colleague who nodded in response without taking her eyes away from Jason who smiled as he walked through the hallway that led to the ward. Jason walked into the ward the moment Bruce opened the door for him, and he met Harry seated just the way he met him the previous way, while his Grandfather sat on the bed with a glass of water in his hands. “Aha! Jack! You are here, I was beginning to think you had abandoned your old man.” Lord Walker teased the moment he lifted his head to look at Jason who walked directly toward him while Harry turned around to look at him. “You know I would never leave you, Grandpa. I just had something to take care of.” “Of course, you would never leave me, I am sure of that. You have the heart of your father. Come sit

    Jason handed over the phone to Harry after bringing out the post. “Take a look at that.” Jason looked at the screen of the phone as soon as he handed it over to Harry who watched the video on the post in full attention. Jason made sure that the volume was low in order not to disturb the serenity of the hospital and so that no other person was going to hear what was going on, especially his Grandfather. “Serves him right! I can’t believe that Brenda went through all of that, she must be feeling devastated right now.” Harry said with an angry tone, and then he handed over the phone to Jason who grabbed it from him and put it inside his pocket. “He is definitely going to pay for this, and I think we should tell your Grandfather about this, Young Master.” “No! He must not know anything about this, Harry. Not even the smallest information…” Jason shook his head to indicate that he wasn’t giving Harry the consent to tell Lord Walker while the Butler stared at him with a curious expr

    On his way out of the hospital, Jason saw two old ladies seated at the reception and looking at the screen of their phones with scowling on their faces. “I do much detest men who think they can treat ladies the way they like because they have so much money to throw around. This man is a monster!” The last seated by the right said to her friend who shared almost the same countenance as her while she lifted her face from her own phone to look at her. “I can imagine what all those girls must have gone through in the hands of that moron, he should be locked up, and the keys thrown into the abyss!” “You are right, Monica. People like this are not supposed to be left to be walking around. He would only be given the chance to do this to some other ladies.” “I am happy that someone was courageous enough to get him to confess all his crimes, whoever did this deserves an award,” Monica said with a smile on her face while her friend nodded in agreement. Jason instantly knew that the la

    For a few seconds, Brenda waited to get a response from Jason, but he remained silent, and instead of giving her a response, he slowly returned to his previous position, and sat down on the bed. “You still haven’t answered my question.” “What did you ask?” Jason inquired calmly, pretending not to know what she was talking about. “I asked what you did to Marcelo. Where is he? What did you do to him?” “Oh! That pervert?” Jason said with a smirk on his face, and Brenda nodded in response without looking away from Jason after she had paid all her attention to him. “Well, I made sure he would never treat any woman like his property ever again. I made sure that he would never touch any women, not in this lifetime especially.” Jason said with a nod, and Brenda suddenly became nervous after giving a wrong interpretation to the words she heard from him. “Did you kill him?” Brenda asked with a shaky voice, not ready to hear the response to the question just in case it was going to b

    Brenda looked at Jason for a few seconds, and when she couldn’t resist the urge to fall for his smile, she grabbed his hand slowly, and he pulled her upward before holding her on the waist. Their eyes met with each other, and Brenda couldn’t keep her eyes away from his after realizing how fascinating his blue orbs were. “I am really sorry that you had to pass through all of that in the hands of that monster. You deserve better.” Jason said with a smile, breaking the silence that had existed between them while Brenda looked away from his compelling eyes. “Thank you.” She said with a low tone, while she wrapped her arms around his neck, engulfed by the euphoria of the chemistry that existed between them. “For what?” Jason asked after waiting for her to speak again but only received a few seconds of silence. “For standing up for me at the restaurant, and for doing whatever you did to stop him from ever laying his hand on any woman.” “It’s fine, Brenda. You don’t have to worry

    Jason shut the door behind him the moment he left the room, and then he looked around the hallway to see if anyone was around, but it was empty. “Hello?” He said to the person at the other end of the line, his voice was anticipatory. “Hello, Young Master. How are you doing?” “I am fine, Kelvin. Do you have anything for me?” “Yes, Young Master. I think we should meet, I don’t know if you are free at the moment.” Jason groaned almost immediately, thinking of the best thing to do. There were a lot of things he wanted to do, and he didn’t know how he was going to be able to meet up with all of them. He took in a deep breath, and then he exhaled slowly before he responded to Kelvin who was very patient to hear what he was going to say. “I am not so free now, Kelvin. I don’t know…” “This is very important, Young Master. I really think you should see this. It’s about the identity of the man you asked me to find. I think I have something.” “Really?” “Yes, Young Master. You

    Shirley was silent for a while, but the men standing close to her knew that she was thinking of the right answer to give to them, so they didn’t mind waiting until she was ready to speak. Eventually, she figured out what to tell them, and sighed heavily before she spoke with a loud whisper, trying as much as she could to be audible enough. “There was this man, he came looking for my son a few weeks ago. He said he stole something from him, and that he was meant to pay back for it. I told him that my son was not home, but he said he knew where to find him. He left and never came back.” Shirley sniffled, suppressing the extra tears that tried to roll down her face from her eyes. “When my son came back, I tried to warn him about the strange man, but he never listens. I pleaded with him to go far away, but he is as stubborn as his father. A week later, some men came to the house and took us. They blindfolded us and took us to this beautiful house where there were a lot of guards.”

    For over an hour, Jason and the Butler remained seated, waiting patiently for Brenda to return with some news. The silence between them was laced with a little tension, but they were hopeful that something positive was going to come out of their adventure. Ignoring the lady who was secretly taking pictures of him with her smart phone, Jason adjusted himself before clearing his throat. He turned to face Harry, and spoke with a low tone. “Harry? Can I ask you something?” “Sure, Young Master! Anything at all.” Harry adjusted slowly, ready to hear what Jason was going to say to him. “Do you think the boy will be willing to come with us if he is real? Again, how do you think I am meant to handle a situation like this? I mean, the boy could be in a very bad mess, and I would have to pull him out of it.” Jason sighed, unable to discard the worrisome look on his face. But the middle-aged man had a smile on his face, and before giving him a response, he chuckled softly. “I know y

    The waitress discovered that two men were walking toward her, and adjusting herself with a welcoming smile on her face, she greeted them warmly. “Hello, Sir. Welcome to Joe’s Café. Do you need anything?” “Yes. Hello. We are looking for a lady called Shirley. I was told she works here.” Jason said with a smile as well, looking at the waitress whose countenance showed that she didn’t know who he was talking about. “Shirley? I don’t think I know any Shirley who works here, Sir. I am new here, but I can get you someone who could know.” “Yes, please! Thank you so much.” Harry said calmly, gesturing to the waitress who nodded before walking away, holding onto the small notepad and pen she had in her hands. “I really hope this ends well,” Jason said with a whisper, sighing firstly while he kept his eyes on the path the waitress took. The waitress returned in less than a minute with another waitress who looked older and more experienced than her. “Hello, Sirs. My name is Nora. I

    For a few seconds, Jason remained silent, but it didn’t seem like that was going to solve anything. The old man was still waiting to get a response from him, and Harry was interested to know the outcome of their meeting as well. Adjusting himself to get a more comfortable posture, Jason cleared his throat and sighed before he spoke with a voice that almost sounded like a whisper. “He has a son.” He said calmly, but his words were too heavy for the other men in the room to remain as calm as he was. Lord Walker knew Jason to be a man who didn’t joke with such things but for a second, he remained calm, hoping that he was going to say he was joking. Maybe he meant to say something else. “A son?” “Yes, Grandpa. He has a son.” “Julius has a son?” Lord Walker leaned forward, and grabbed the half-empty glass of water which he consumed before returning it to the table. “Are you okay, Lord Walker?” Harry asked, moving closer to the old man who raised his hands to stop him from g

    I Know!

    The rays from the sunlight were shining brightly through the casement windows inside the bedroom. The curtains were half closed, giving way to the rays that hit Brenda’s eyes while she groaned in her sleep. As though there was a force, she opened her eyes instantly, only to behold the sight of shirtless Jason sitting close to her with a tray in both hands. “Wakie wakie! I was worried that too were not going to wake up on time to see this.” Jason had a beautiful smile on his face while he looked at Brenda who adjusted herself slowly, sitting up while she looked at the tray he was carrying. “What’s that?” “Oh! This? I made you breakfast! I had to wake up early just to make sure that everything worked as I planned. Here…” Jason opened the dish cover to reveal the egg and sausages on the plate next to a cup of black coffee. “I tried making the coffee just like you do. I hope I tried.” Jason handed the cup of coffee to Brenda who blew on the coffee before taking a sip. “Easy! I

    Special Announcement

    While everyone sat comfortably, eating and drinking everything that had been set on the table, Jason picked up the glass of wine in front of him, and after looking at his Grandfather and getting the signal from him, he nodded before lifting the glass. “I have a special announcement!” He hit his fork on the brim of the glass, drawing the attention of everyone seated at the table who instantly put a hold t what they were doing, and paid keen attention to him. Everyone seemed curious to know what he was about to say except the old man who was already done eating his veggies and wiped his lips with a napkin while he maintaining a grin on his face. “First of all, I want to thank Harry for bringing his lovely family to dinner. It’s such a pleasure to have you all here. Family is everything, family is life, and I am happy that he has such a beautiful family.” Jason lifted the glass toward Harry who bowed gently, still wondering what he was up to. “Harry here has been working with thi

    Butler’s Family

    Jason was the first to step out of the hot tub before Brenda joined him. Handing over one of the two towels he grabbed to her, he gave her a lovely smile which made her blush while she grabbed the towel, and wrapped her body with it. “You are still staring.” Brenda said with her smile intact, but Jason couldn’t take his eyes away from her, not even for a second. “What am I going to ever do without you? You have brought me so much joy, Brenda.” “Nothing, Jay. You are going to do nothing.” Brenda chuckled while Jason nodded without getting rid of his smile. “You are right. Absolutely nothing, that’s what I am going to do if I ever lose you.” “Well, I am not leaving anytime soon. I am here with you, my love.” Brenda patted Jason on both cheeks before she turned and walked toward the bedroom, holding onto her towel with both hands. “We must hurry, Jay! We are having guests, remember?”“Oh, right! I almost forgot about that!” Jason rushed into the room, and got dressed alongsi

    Price to Pay

    For a few seconds Jason was silent while he exchanged glances with the couple, not sure of who he was to face. It was obvious that they were expecting to hear him speak, but the silence in the room was killing them, having more effect on Lucas who couldn’t forget the words he said to him. He was afraid that the day of reckoning had come, and it was time to pay for all his crimes. Still unable to stop himself from finger mg, especially at the sight of Ramon who gave him threatening looks, Lucas decided to grab his bottle, hoping to get back some of his composure from a gulp. “What’s that?” Jason’s calm words stopped Lucas from grabbing the bottle from the ground, causing him to remain still while he lifted his face slowly to look at him, patches of guilt all over his face. “I can’t believe this.” Jason scoffs. “You really want to drink right now. You have really drowned yourself in so much alcohol. I bet you dream of drinking while you sleep.” Jason sighed softly, and remain

    No Choice

    Everyone remained silent amidst the tension that surrounded the air. While Lucas kept his eyes on Jason who remained still with a smirk on his face, he struggled with the contemplation of either remaining where he was standing, or moving backward. For a second, he took two steps backward, but because it felt as though his body no longer belonged to him, he couldn’t move afterward. “Hello… Dad. I see you haven’t left your old habits.” Jason pointed at the bottle of whiskey which Lucas tightly held onto even in the midst of the cringe that engulfed him. “It’s you.” Lucas’ voice was shaky. And while he held onto the half-empty bottle, he gently lifted it up to look at it, filled with thoughts of his numerous drinking adventures. It was true that he was intoxicated at that moment, but the sight of Jason and his companions made the effects of the whiskey wear off at once, leaving him to struggle with the situation. “I am just going to let myself in. Excuse me…” Jason gestured to
