View MoreJackson's lawyer sat in the living room with them, he held a couple of documents with him, waiting for the rest of the occupants to show up.Jason sat with his wife while Mason sat on his father's lap.“Who else are we waiting for daddy?”“Uhmmm,” he didn't know the appropriate title to give Cynthia. “Just a person affiliated with the family, that's all.”“They need to hurry up, punctuality is something we are being taught at school.”“Don't–”Cara cut in quickly. “I'm pretty sure they must be caught up in traffic. She'll be here soon.”She gave her husband the nastiest look ever, Jason looked away, hiding his face to the other side.Few minutes later, Cynthia walked in majestically like she owned the entire place. She kept chewing her gum noisily. “I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting, something held me up.”Cara rubbed her son's hand. “See, I told you, something caused her to be late.”The lawyer adjusted his glasses and sat up straight. “Shall we begin?”“Yes please,” Jason answe
The rain kept beating the wooden cover of the casket. Jason loosened his hair and let it fall all over his face, standing akimbo. Cara, Mason and the rest stood under an umbrella. She tried to cajole her husband to come under but he wouldn't bulge. His hard stare wouldn't leave his father's coffin.A call at work the week before announced to him that his father had passed away in his office. Traces of sleeping pills could be found in his bloodstream.Whoever murdered his father was still walking free.The screeching of a taxi car got their attention, Cynthia dropped from the car, dressed in a black fitted gown and a large hat. Her heels matched her outfit and he wondered if she was truly coming to a funeral or if she would hit the bar after this location.She opened her umbrella and joined the rest where the priest was giving a sermon.He kept watching her steps, trying to see if he would find anything incriminating. Dismissing it, he believed that he was just overthinking things.“Ma
Still humiliated by how Jason treated her in front of Stacey, she vowed to have her revenge on him. That is to continue to have an affair with his father, get him to overwrite his will if he has any and then take full control of his business.She was aware of how sufficient Jason was, he most probably wasn't going to be affected by not having a share in his father's will. But at the same time, there was nothing bad about having more than enough.She got up and walked into the bathroom almost immediately. As the water flowed freely to every part of her naked body, her mind traveled to the days where Adrian was behind all her irresponsible behavior.Now she was all alone and she could boldly say it was her sole handiwork now.She was as jobless as anything. Living off the allowance placed on her by Jason is 10x better than having a job and now she would do anything to make sure she never works a single job again in her life.She selected a body fitted red armless gown, stopping just abo
“Thank you so much for the ride, I'm truly grateful,” she searched through her purse for a hundred dollar bill. “It's okay madam, you can just go,” the driver blushed. “You don't know what it means to carry the only heir of Sir McQueen.”“Oh that's so nice of you,” she cooed, thinking of ways to repay his kindness. An idea quickly struck her head. “Give me your business card, so I could call you in case I have a bigger project.”“Thank you so much ma'am,” he dipped his hand into his jacket and produced a card for her.She reached for it and kept it in her bag as she dropped. She waved till the driver was out of sight.“Phew,” she sighed. “That wasn't what I expected.”The smaller gate was left open, Cara wondered where Amber would have gone. But then she noticed a different car parked beside the house. Her fear rose, was Amber and her child in danger? She locked the gate and hastened her steps but reduced it when she saw Mason sitting outside and helping himself to a glass of orange
He pushed the door open and saw another woman, looking almost like Cynthia arguing with her. Same stature, just a little bit taller and fairer. They both looked like clowns, they were still bickering with each other. Their makeup was still smeared all over their faces.“Oh Cara,” he muttered, laughing inwardly. He was definitely having a good laugh already.Both women had not noticed his presence, their hairs were cut in irregular shape and he could tell the other woman was bitter about it. Cynthia had enough, more than enough to get whatever wigs she wanted. Weirdly as it may seem, he still had her on a monthly allowance.“You ladies are fine?” He wore a mocking smile on his face as they turned gradually to face him.“Oh great, look who it is. You decided to come here after a while,” Cynthia's voice reeked of sarcasm. “I guess the bitch had run her mouth to you and that had you running here immediately.”He found his way to a place in the room, laughing. “I see you don't learn Cynth
'My sincerest apologies to those who have come so far with me on this journey and to those who are still discovering my book. I'm so sorry for taking so much time away. I'm an engineering student in my penultimate year, that is one of the main reason for my absence. I'm here now and I promise to conclude this wonderful journey you have embarked on with me. Once again, I deeply apologize to everyone🙏🏼."Jason adjusted his suit and swallowed a big bowl of air in front of his dad's office. Being nervous was an understatement yet it was something he had to do. Cara was right about everything she said.Inasmuch as his father wronged him, it was only his duty to forgive him. They carry too much burden.He rasped his knuckles against the wooden door and knocked once. Without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open.“Hey old man, good morning,” that was the first set of words that left his mouth. Not exactly as he planned it in his head but that will do still. Jackson's head was be
She helped him arrange his suitcase, and fixed his tie. “I know it's going to be hard but remember that I'm here to help you.”She tiptoed and leaned in to place a kiss on his lips. Before she could draw away, he wrapped his arms around her waist, dragging her back and deepening the kiss.“I love you so much Cara Pierce. I can never get tired of saying it, just know that,” he said, brushing the strands of hair coming to her face to the back of her ear. His gesture alone earned a blush from her.“Let me walk you to the door, I have a lot of things to do as soon as you leave,” she said.“Things like?”“I need to get Mason's room ready, he needs to be home with us by next week.”“Oh that's true, I wish I could stay to help you out.”“It's no problem, I can handle it all by myself,” she accompanied her words with a small beautiful smile. Enough to melt any man's anger.“I can't wait to see my little man again.”“Me too, I missed my baby so much.”Leaning on the door frame, she watched him
Jason munched on his food quietly, releasing small hmmms as a way to compliment his wife's food.“This is really good honey, l think I need to increase your allowance,” he teased.“Very funny Jason," she rolled at eyes at him. "Have you forgotten that I'm a billionaire too?”“Doesn't matter, your money is your money. My money is our money.”“That's sweet of you,” she smiled.He helped himself to a glass of water. “You said we needed to talk about something important?”Her demeanor changed to a very calm one. Dropping her fork, she forced out a smile to ease the atmosphere for whatever she was about to say.“You good, honey?” He asked, wearing a faint genuine smile on his lips.“Well, it's just that, have you thought about fixing things between you and your dad?”The sudden question cleared away any form of emotion on his face.“Is that what you want to talk about?”She pursed her lips and nodded her head gently.“It's a man's thing, we'll figure it out,” he said, returning his attenti
Cara set the table for dinner, hoping to talk to him about his old man while they ate.The front door opened and walking in, was a tired Jason, she excused herself from the dining table and met him with a kiss.“How was today at work?” She reached for his suitcase and led him to the sofa.“Tiring, really tiring.”She helped him with his tie and his suit jacket. Underneath, his white shirt was drenched in sweat.“Is the air-conditioner not working? Why are you drenched in sweat?”“You can ask the same, I have no idea,” he threw his head back and a long form of sigh escaped from his lips.She unbuttoned his shirt and he was left in his singlet. “Go take a shower while I finish setting the table.”Trying to get back to work, a pair of strong hands scooped her away from the floor suddenly. Yelping out loud, she hit him on the chest, playfully.“Christ, Jason, what was that for? Aren't you tired?”“Yes I am, but I can never be too tired for the most beautiful woman in the world,” he threw
Cara stood in front of the hotel room, holding her phone in her face. She stared at the text message.'Want to know where your so-called fiance is? You might wanna check Emerald Hotel, room 350.'She had bribed the attendant at the reception, pleading with her just to go in.Now she stood in front of the room, her makeover smeared her face and the tears poured more than before. She could hear his moans and grunts from where she stood.She summoned her entire strength and pushed the door open. The naked sight of Nathan in bed with another woman irked her."You forgot to lock the door," she finally found her voice after so long.Nathan rushed to put some clothes on his body, the woman's face he was laying with came into view."What the fuck Sandra? How dare you?" Her tears poured as she charged towards her.Nathan grabbed her and threw her back before she could get to her. He pushed her to the couch."Don't you dare Cara. I won't hesitate to beat you up if you touch one single hair on h
