The Unrefined Jason Lee

Blue eyes glared daggers at nonchalant grey ones, and Raphael smirked at his blue-eyed protegee before rolling his eyes,“I'm not going to let you grow old with no woman to warm your bed or have by your side. Boy, you're not going to grow up lonely like me!" he crossed his arms and stared, lips still smirking.“You haven't called me boy in years though" “Then don't act like one, Jason Lee. Man up and go get the bride”, Raphael retorted and chuckled, his eyes glinting as he stared at Jason. They had both come a long way from that fateful night when he had rescued a dying Jason as a child, and it was beautiful to see.Jason stood up from his position and paced the ground, running his hand through his dark shiny hair, letting out a deep breath, he stopped and gazed at his mentor,“You've been nagging me on this matter for years now. Ralph, I'm content where I am, I do not want to get married, I all have I need”What he hadn't disclosed was that he was still yearning for the girl who had

Jason had spent two days in Fulton City, and every search for the lady at the bar had proved abortive, he had given up and decided to chase after the business that had brought him over in the first place, Dressed in a casual linen beige shirt, washed-out jeans and simple black sandals, he hailed a taxi and headed over to the address of his betrothed that Raphael had sent to his phone. As he arrived at his destination, he released a deep breath, it was time to face the inevitable. The mansion was a huge monstrosity and Jason arched his brow at the sight. He couldn't understand people's ostentatious pleasure in displaying wealth, the simple things of life were more his style, shaking his head he approached the gate, Just as he was about to ring the bell and also call Raphael for some advice, a loud gruff voice suddenly attacked him, “Hey Peasant! Where do you think you're going?!” The man snarled, sneering at Jason. Jason rolled his eyes and huffed, he wasn't expecting such a welco

In a flash, Jason watched as Faith’s grandmother's sour expression turned into a sweet one before she and Faith's mother practically threw themselves at the man who had just made his entrance,“Ryan, my darling! I'm so glad to see you" Grace announced graciously, beaming from ear to ear. Ryan ignored her and faced Faith, and Sir Stanley, with furrowed brows he asked Sir Stanley,“What is this I hear about Faith's engagement? To whom may I ask?!” At his question, some of Faith's cousins chuckled, their eyes glinting with amusement. Jason watched as Ryan's eyes darted between Faith and Sir Stanley, while he took his time to study the great Ryan Carter, the spoilt heir of the Carter's group. He knew of him but had never come across him at any of the events he attended. While watching, his gaze found Rita's, and she sneered,“Unfortunately, you heard right my darling. Faith is to be married soon, as a sacrificial lamb, I must say" Once again, laughter filled the air, and Jason's heart cl

As the door flew open, Jason heaved a sigh of relief and Faith, who heard him sigh, turned to him with a raised brow. He slightly shook his head, rubbing at his chest before smiling at her; in return, Faith winced. Jason dabbed at the sweat on his forehead, mentally berating himself for his nerves, He was a confident man and yet he had been nervous when the delivery person hadn't shown up. Although he had mentally promised himself to prove himself to Faith and to shut her mother up, he couldn't understand the nerves. Jason quickly got to his feet to approach the delivery fellow who was fast approaching Sir Stanley's table, with everyone's eyes on him. Mrs Rita who was still beaming, darted her gaze between the approaching delivery man and Ryan who stood beside her, she was very much aware of the delivery company and knew that they only dealt with the creme de la creme of the society and that they never delivered any goods that wasn't less than twenty million, She clasped Ryan to he

Mrs Rita was the one to break the tense silence as she gazed at the delivery man, whose cheeks had tinged. He didn't want to offend any of the high social people. Mrs Rita broke through his state as she spoke up clearly, “Sir! You have to clear up this shenanigan, so I can put this fool in the right place! Whose name is on the sender tag?!" She asked loudly, and the delivery man heaved deeply, almost turning blue, his eyes darting between the two men. Faith nearly scoffed but said nothing else, wondering what he could possibly present that would impress her materialistic grandmother, and he didn't seem like one to be able to afford her grandmother’s taste. At that same moment, Ryan Cape got to his feet, with his hands in his pocket, he strutted towards Sir Stanley and Rita's table, with a small smile on his face, Rita who had seen him approach, smiled widely and spread her arms to receive him with a hug, just as the door barged open, distracting the party and causing everyone to tur
