She told Jason that she became too uncomfortable at some point and wanted to know how he was getting his money, but he kept telling her it was okay, that she didn’t have to know. “I just can’t shake this feeling, Jason,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. “I’ve noticed how you always come home late, and that time I saw blood on your clothes… and even a gun among your things.” Jason looked at her, a mixture of concern and defensiveness in his eyes. “Look, babe, I promise you, it’s nothing you need to worry about. I’m doing what I have to do to provide for us. Trust me, it’s not as bad as it seems.” “But Jason, I can’t help but feel scared and suspicious,” she replied, her voice quivering. “I want to understand, I want to be a part of your life, your struggles, but you keep shutting me out.

He couldn’t help but feel a mixture of gratitude and sadness as he realized the sacrifices his mother had made for him. “So, you left everything behind and started fresh to protect me from my father?” Jason asked, his voice filled with a mix of admiration and confusion. His mother nodded, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “Yes, my love. I wanted to shield you from the chaos and darkness that surrounded your father.

I wanted you to have a chance at a better life, away from his influence.” Jason’s voice trembled slightly as he spoke, his emotions getting the best of him. “But why didn’t you tell me about my father all these years? Why did you keep it a secret?” His mother took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. “It was a difficult decision, Jason. I didn’t want you to be caught in the middle of our fights and conflicts. I wanted you to have a pea
The next day, Ashley arrived at Jason’s house accompanied by the three individuals he had interviewed to join their team. Jason welcomed them with a warm smile, grateful for their support during such a challenging time. “I’m glad you all could make it,” Jason said, shaking each of their hands. “Thank you for being here.” Ashley, the most outspoken of the group, grinned mischievously. “No problem, Jason!

Jason gathered his group together once again, including Ashley, knowing that he could trust them with the important task at hand. He placed the mysterious ring on the table before them, its gleaming surface capturing their attention. “Listen, everyone,” Jason began, his voice filled with determination. “This ring holds a key to the truth we’re seeking. We need to research its origins and keep an eye out for anyone else who possesses a similar ring. It’s possible that those who wear this ring belong to the same organization, an organization I am yet to fully understand. But I’m willing to go to any lengths to uncover the truth.” The group members exchanged curious glances, sensing the gravity of the situation.
