“Henry!” He said aloud, as soon as he swung the door open, and saw the toddler on the bed crying, he had just woken up from sleep and was so frightened when he saw himself alone in an empty room with only a bed and a long table. Jason quickly moved to the bed and grabbed him, patting his bed gently while he rested him on his right shoulder. “I am so sorry son, so sorry you have to pass through this,” Jason said, still caressing his back gently with his right hand. The baby cooed in relief when he rested on his father’s shoulders, and gradually, the little teats in his eyes started to dry out. Morgan was the second person to walk into the room, and when he saw Jason carrying Henry, he turned to look at his family members who bent their heads in shame. “This is despicable,” he said softly to the hearing of everyone around. He looked at his sister with glances of disproval and disappointment at her action. When he was certain that his son was calm, and after checking to see i
Those words got to Philip, and he would have loved to pounce on Jason immediately. He walked up to Jason who stood beside the staircase waiting for him and gave him a stern look. “You really think so highly of yourself, huh?” “Well, you never can tell, I could be just more than you ever imagined.” Jason retorted with a smirk, but his words only made Philip scoff, and he looked down on him with so much disdain. “You made me look like a fool before my father-in-law,” Philip said in annoyance, but Jason chose not to say anything at that moment, he only maintained a smile that he didn't want to discard. “You really think this is funny, you waltz in here and think you can turn us against each other, do you know who I am?” Jason looked at Philip from the crown of his hair to the sole of his shoes, but he said nothing, only his smile showed that he was having fun. “Didn’t you hear me, boy? I asked a question.” Philip barked again, and this time, he drew closer to Jason as their f
Feeling really famished, Jason decided to go grab something to eat, it was almost night, and he hadn’t had anything to eat. “Where do I go from here?” He asked himself, standing right in front of the gigantic gate of the Palmer residence, his stomach was beginning to rumble, and he yawned at different intervals, with his left hand covering his mouth. “I really need to eat something, or else I lose my breath.” He said to himself, and just as he had wanted to walk toward the road, his eyes caught sight of his shirt, causing him to halt. “There is no way I am going out this way.” Jason sighed, and then he quickly moved over to the cabin behind the lake, he pushed the door and went inside. A few minutes later, he walked out of the cabin, putting on a jacket over the shirt, the same Jacket that was the only thing he was allowed to move out of the mansion with the very day he caught Isabella with his mansion. He walked faintly toward the road, and luckily for him, he sighte
Jason’s attention was drawn immediately to the table behind him, he really wanted to find out what was going on, and apparently, what he felt was the situation was not far-fetched. “Don’t you see that I am doing you a huge favor here? You clearly cannot take care of her with your meager salary, allow me to ease off that burden from you, be a gentleman, and leave.” “I wasn’t talking to you, old man, I was speaking to my wife.” “Well, clearly she doesn’t want to listen to you, how difficult is it to comprehend?” The old man in the fancy grey suit said. He dipped his fork into the mutton chop on his plate, cut it with the knife, and extended his right hand toward the young lady. “Here you go, love.” “Thanks, babe.” The lady said as she leaned forward to the man and dragged out the mutton chop from the fork with her teeth, giggling excitedly. The old man smiled in satisfaction and then he took the napkin on the table and wiped the lips of the lady, as she continued to chuckle in
Rebecca scoffed, and then she burst into a few seconds of laughter, but that didn’t stop the relentlessness of the young man standing beside her. “Did you hear that Honey? He says he will fight me with everything that he has, he doesn’t even have a good job.” “Well, now that you mentioned, I guess he should kiss his job goodbye, let’s see how the pauper is going to feed.” “To hell with you and your job Mr. Reynolds, you can shove it down your throat, I don't need it.” Rebecca gasped at her husband’s words, Mr. Reynolds was not left out as well, his eyes widened, and his brows were raised above their edges as the wrinkles on his face started to appear more visible, exposing his real age behind those nice facials. “Did you just say that to me? What temerity!” “Yes, I did, you have lost every form of respect I had for you, you can't go around treating people like garbage, just because you are rich. I will say whatever I want to say to you, and there is nothing you are an
The bodyguard stopped instantly as he heard Jason’s voice which resounded from behind him, he turned to know who had spoken, and so did Rebecca and Mr. Reynolds. Jason was forced to stand up from his seat, and then he started to walk toward the bodyguard who was still holding onto Jerry who was trying to turn to see who had spoken. “Didn't you hear me? I said, drop him!” The guard was speechless, he turned his gaze from Jason to Mr. Reynolds, not certain of the best thing to do. While he was at it, Jerry slipped out of his hands and landed on the floor, just before he moved away from him. “Grab him, you fool!” Mr. Reynolds fired at the bodyguard, but he was too confused to know what was happening, this made the old man strike his head with his right palm in intense annoyance. “Honey, who is that fellow over there?” Rebecca said a few seconds later, while Mr. Reynolds was still boiling with rage and disappointment, this made him turn to face Jason a few seconds after Rebecca
Kelvin looked at himself, and the black outfit he had on definitely wasn’t appealing to him, and he needed more. Instantly, his mind went back to his wife and his two newly-born babies, he knew that he needed an upgrade. “Earning a meager pay of twenty dollars per hour is not enough, I think I need more. I do, I really do.” He thought to himself, seeming really convinced of his thoughts. “I see you really like the sound of that Kelvin, that would be your position if you choose to do the right thing.” Kelvin turned to face Jason with an inquisitive stare, his countenance showed that he really wanted to know what it was going to take to upgrade his pocket. “What do I have to do Sir?” He asked with a humble tone. Jason chuckled in satisfaction, and then he turned to Jerry who had been speechless for a long time, and then returned his gaze to Kelvin. “You really don’t have to do much, there would be no need for violence today, all I need you to do is to stand on the path of tr
Rebecca scoffed, and then she walked over to Jason from behind the old man, she stopped in front of him, looked at him with disdain, and asked. “What are you going to do about that? Huh?” She leaned her face forward to Jason, the certainty that he wasn’t going to be able to do anything was boldly written on her face, and she would have hit him if not that he was a man and a muscular one at that. “Believe me, Miss, you really wanna make that mistake, this is not going to end well for you.” “Enough fool! I am going to do whatever I like and no one, I mean one will stop me, not even you! So, I will advise that you back off immediately and stay clear.” Rebecca thundered, but her words were not enough to derail Jason. “Please Becca, you can’t do this to me, she is my daughter as well, I should have a say in her life too.” “Well, maybe if you were doing the things men your age are doing, maybe, just maybe, I would have considered you,” Rebecca said in response to her husband’s p
