Cara lowered her son down carefully without taking her eyes off the man who stood in front of her. A rush of various emotions spun through her body, some sweet, most bitter.Her face broke into a small smile but it quickly evolved back into a frown."Well well well, if it isn't Jason Pierce," her voice reeked of sarcasm mixed with pain.Jason wondered where his sweet Cara had gone."Cara, I, I uhmmmm," his words came out in bits. He scratched his head, knowing fully well that he had nothing to say."Mummy, do you know him?" Mason filled the brewing silence between them.The word mummy took Jason by surprise, his eyes widened and unconsciously his hand went over his lips."Mummy?" Jason repeated, wearing the most surprised look. "Mason is your son?""What do you care about? Nothing, just you and you alone. As far as I'm concerned I'm done with you."She grabbed Mason by the hand and led him away. Jason, still frozen at the same spot, battled his emotions as different memories came cras
Cara directed the cabman to Amber's house, she knew she would be off from work by then. She needed someone to talk to badly.Her red teary eyes welcomed Amber as she pushed the door open."What happened? Are you fine? Where are you coming from? Did someone hit you?"Amber bombarded her with as many questions as she could think of."Which one do you want me to answer first?""Anyone that comes to your mind first."Cara faced her son. "Baby, why don't you go inside Aunty Amber's room and watch TV.""Okay mummy," the little boy, oblivious of what was going on, dropped his bag and dashed inside happily."I saw Jason today, at Mason's school," Cara said.Amber wore a not surprised look and settled beside her. "Oh.""What do you mean oh? You knew?" Cara snapped."Calm down Cara, yes I knew."Cara sprang from her seat and paced around the sitting room angryily. She placed one hand on her forehead and the other rested on her waist."You knew Amber and you couldn't tell me. Why?""Don't even tr
Alexander's help opened the door for Jackson. Both men stood to greet each other, bumping into themselves and settling for their special handshake."My dearest friend Jackson, it's been a while. How have you been?""I've been good, you look chubby," Jackson teased Alexander."Well I've been trying my best, I'm all that is left in this big house.""Ethan, bring a drink for my friend," Alexander motioned for his help."Coming right up sir."The duo went silent for a while, Ethan dropped a bottle of sparkling red wine accompanied with a glass cup beside. He attempted to help him open it but Jackson stopped him."I'm no guest here, I'll do it myself."Ethan bowed and left."How's Jason doing? Hope he's fine? He came to say hi to me a few days ago before he left the country."Jackson's face transformed slightly into an angry one. "He did? Did he say where he was traveling to?""I'm not quite sure I remember, it's been a while. I'm becoming an old man now, you know," Alexander joked, hoping
Cara packed her son's lunch without saying a word. Her heart was still heavy from the way she talked to Amber the previous day. Maybe Amber was right, she was just looking out for her and only an insane person will behave the way she did.She had gone too low, insulting her only friend with the burden and ache her heart still bore."You haven't said a word since mummy. Are you fine?" Mason said, cutting through her thoughts.Even her son knew something was wrong with her. "I'm fine baby," she brightened up a bit and ruffled his hair."Finish up your food quickly while I go take my bath," she disappeared inside.As the water poured on her naked body, her mind reflected back to when life was still good. She admired her new physical features, her breasts are now fuller and they still maintained the curved shape.Her ass looked like she had gone for a plastic surgery, it was more firm. Her shape was still an hourglass figure.Her mind raced to the numbskull who alternated her life into th
Amber walked into the kitchen, she placed Jason's order and a couple of others more on the board."One hot chocolate and a meat pie for table 12," she said without looking back.Amber's voice invaded her thoughts as she worked, she couldn't bring herself to call her name. She stood by her when she first just got to Bana, helped her emotionally and mentally. She couldn't believe she let Daniel's case cause a rift between them.She was more determined to apologize, anything that happens after that, she would take the full responsibility for it. On the other hand, she was pretty sure Jason was causing hell of a scene outside, knowing who the kind of person he was.She diverted her thoughts back to Amber, thinking of ways she could make it work."Amber," she called out in a small voice, loud enough for Amber to hear.Amber turned to the familiar voice, her expression was blank. Cara's heart sunk, she doesn't know how to start apologizing."Is the hot chocolate ready?""Oh uhmmmm, I'll hav
CHAPTER 19: YAAAY DADDYShe raised her finger to his eye level, seething with anger.She said, "If you think you can use my son against me, as a way of getting back into my life, you joke big time.""I am not that insensitive," his eyes held so much emotion he couldn't say. "I say the truth, Cara. I swear, Mason is my son.""You lie," she suddenly screamed. "You lie so much."The manager had cleared the rest of the customers from the restaurant seeing that it was an important talk and Cara wouldn't bulge about following him anywhere."I know you are hurt, I know you are in pain but please try to remember. Remember that night you came back home from the office feeling happy about how you dealt with your ex."After some time she fell to the seat she stood up from, everything came rushing back to her suddenly. Her tears poured and she completed the memory he was trying to make her remember."We had a drink together. I kept requesting for more and from there I got drunk. We had sex that n
CHAPTER 20: 2 MENCynthia laid in bed surfing the internet. The past couple days have become hectic with Adrian on her neck, Jason nowhere to be found and Jackson relaxing her mind about helping her.She switched between Instagram to Twitter, finding her way straight to the 'trends for you'.She sat up straight and looked twice. Jason Pierce caught her attention, he was trending on twitter.She quickly clicked on one of the posts and rushed to the media section.The caption read: 'Can't believe I'm seeing Jason Pierce in person. I'm so excited.'A picture was attached to the post. Jason was smiling in the picture, his hair was packed and he was talking to a waitress.Another one read: 'Jason Pierce in Bana, this is so good to be true.'She got off twitter and rang Jackson up immediately."This better be good, woman," he spoke into the phone immediately."I found where Jason is. He's in Bana.""That's good. Leave the rest for me, I'll handle it," the call dropped and Cynthia heaved a s
CHAPTER 20: MY WOMANFlashbackDaniel's naked body laid unashamedly on the bed, he slept near a naked blonde haired lady with extremely heavy makeup.She chewed her gum loudly and pressed her phone."I heard Jason Pierce is here in Bana," she said whilst pressing her phone."Are you joking? If he was here in Bana, she would have called me."She pushed her phone forward to his sight. "See." An entertainment channel that featured billionaires and top important people in the country had carried the news.It read: 'Jason Pierce, son of Jackson Pierce, a billionaire is said to be in Bana. A small town where everybody knew everyone, he was seen in Mary's Eatery early this morning having a hot chocolate and a snack.'Daniel jumped from the bed after reading the news, a picture of Jason, smiling was attached to the news article.His phone rang at the same hour, the call he dreaded picking was the same one calling.He picked up after the third ring after hesitating.The caller's voice boomed f
He sat by Mason all through the doctor attended to him. His boy was malnourished and unusually thin. A boy that used to be full of life and happiness, now flinches at any sudden movement. Cynthia would never get over what she did to her son, by the law, he would make sure she was found guilty of everything she had caused his family. The emotional distress, mental distress was enough to let her get life without parole. But unfortunately, once murder was involved, she'd be getting the death penalty.“Daddy?” The blue brightness his eyes always held was fading but with time Jason believed it would come back. He stretched his hand out to touch him. “Is it really you?”“Yes my little man, it's me. It's daddy,” he answered, stroking his head and wiping his fallen hair backwards. Right from his young age, everything about him screams Jason. His hair was starting to grow into a man bun too.“Where's mummy? That mean woman, took her away from me and beat me days I asked about her.”Jason tried
Jason stared at the calendar hanging in his office, dark circles nesting quietly under his eyes. It's been a week since they raided the underground club. He hadn't had the courage to face his recovering wife in the hospital ever since he took her there, knowing that he was the sole reason everything happened in the first place. He'd only peep from the door, watching Amber care for her and saying lovely memories to her. She had just been out of her medically induced coma and sometimes she just stared blankly into space. Mason was definitely one of the reasons she lost herself, and the more reason she wasn't back to her normal self.His ringing phone shattered his thoughts. He sighed and reluctantly picked it up.No enthusiasm or whatsoever. “Yeah?”“Hazel finally got something,” Evans shouted from the other side. “She had been tracking her cell phone for a week now and the location stayed the same. I'll pick you up from the office, I'm on my way.”He dropped the call, not allowing him
The next day, Kaden, Jason, Evans, Earl and some of his best officers suited up in helmet and bulletproof vests; given the kind of description and nature of the place. Heavy cars were donated by the 3 men since the police cars wouldn't do exactly what they wanted. It was 2pm in the afternoon, the club was going to be deserted. Just the organizers and the women. So it was a rescue mission.Kaden swiped his card in order to gain them entry. The door opened and they drove in, with Jason sitting at the driver's seat, leading the way, he hit every bodyguard he came across. A loud siren went off, reminding him of the first neighborhood they had visited.“Assholes,” he mumbled to himself. He jumped down from his car, his anger getting the best of him already. The sight from yesterday was appalling and he vowed to deal with every single one of them. One of the bodyguards still trying to recover from the hit tried to stand up. He made his way towards him and punched him aggressively till he p
Truly Kaden was right, there was no way Cara and any other woman could escape here if they wanted. From the beginning of the entrance, down the hall was guarded with huge, bald headed, not smiling bodyguards. Both of them dropped their belongings and moved to the area designated for them. Jason had his haircut and dyed his hair as a form of disguise, that beautiful long hair Cara loved was gone. At least, just for that moment. It will grow back in due time.Kaden offered to go with him in case he decided to lose his cool and mess everything up. It was really a busy day. Various men, both young and old, flocked around, waiting for the main event to commence.“Whatever you see, keep your cool,” Kaden whispered to him. “I need you to trust me on that.”“I'll try my best,” he adjusted his tie and settled down in his seat. He was far from being calm but he needed to think about everyone's life—his, Kaden's, Cara's and other women.The microphone squealed signifying that the organizer was r
Cladded in a grey suit and black undershirt this time, Kaden walked into Jason's company, confident that whatever happens he would make sure to meet him today. He stopped by the front desk, upon seeing him, the receptionist sighed out loudly.“Have you come to waste your time here again today? Mr Pierce has refused to see anyone, you can leave a phone number. I'll be sure to call you once he's free.”He smiled. “In case you are forgetting something, I did that on the very first day I stepped foot in this company, demanding to see him. Just run up or give him a call for me. Tell him, it's very important.”“No can do,” she forced out a smile and continued hitting her fingers against her keyboard.“Trust me, it's about his wife,” he decided to spill the truth, hoping that that will at least get him a chance to meet Jason.She slowly averted her eyes away from the computer, placing her interlocked fingers under her chin, focusing intently on him.“Look at me, do I look like I'm a fool?” S
2 months after she met Kaden. Since the day she met Kaden, her hope grew and she hoped that she would be out of her bondage sooner or later. She told Ella everything that happened between her and Kaden and both of them anticipated the day her knight in shining armour would ride through the door and finally take her home. Cara promised not to leave her behind, afterall she was the only friend she ever had. But for the past 2 months, her hope gradually diminished. Whatever Izzie and Yul and Marco were trying to work into her head was starting to stick. Maybe Jason didn't really love her like he claimed. Somewhere inside her, she believed that her son was gone for good and she had no reason to long for him anymore. No one knew where they were or how they would be rescued. Scared of feeling like this someday, she had told Ella who she really was and had relayed her fears to her in case she needed to have a reality check. Surprised about who she was, Ella promised to keep it a secret fr
Cara and 5 other ladies were led into a room like a goat being led to its slaughterhouse. The room was dark, only the stage they were put on had a bright light around it. This only increased the fear Cara was nursing. Her heartbeat was becoming louder to her ears, her palms were covered in sweat. She held them together and fought the urge to do anything otherwise.The shrilling sound of the microphone forced her attention away. Marco had grabbed the microphone and was making some weird introduction, and also thanking all of them for coming.She noticed that she was placed behind all of them, her intuition told her what was happening. And just like that, the bidding began. One by one, the ladies were handed over to their masters for that night. She inhaled a big bowl of air, using it as a distraction for herself. It was finally her turn.“And we have here for ourselves, my most prized possession. The most expensive, the most beautiful. Ignore all this shabby makeover, what is beneath i
All through the night, Cara's eyes wouldn't succumb to mother nature's threat to sleep. Her eyes were wide open and she kept tossing and turning. Sleep was the last thing in her head at the moment; if she was right, she might be deliberately given a sick old bastard tomorrow just so they can prove their point. Ella lets her in on some things, Izzie would be the one to dress her in the most obscene dress ever, while Marco will escort her out, putting her out as a bid for whoever wants her. Once again, she felt like nothing but a piece of commodity, waiting to be sold and devoured. Maybe that was all she really was. Life had been handed over to her on a platter of gold and she didn't know what this other side of life tasted like. Now she was tasting it, and from her point of view, it can definitely damage one in the head. Morning came faster than expected and from the way everyone ran around, she could tell that they were indeed expecting some rich people. She didn't see Ella throughou
Marco entered the doctor's room, sighting Cara trying to eat. Her face was mashed up in disgust, but she had no choice. She had to eat or starve; well of course, she couldn't afford the latter.“I see your mouth is starting to work,” he taunted. “Those legs better start working too. I don't have the luxury to be feeding you for free. Not after the huge amount of money I paid for you.”She dropped the bowl of soup she was being given. Her scars were starting to heal gradually but they still did no justice to how beautiful she is.She stared at him, crossing her leg over one again. “How much did you pay for me again?”That question threw Marco off guard. Her net worth alone was more than everything Marco could ever have in his life. All his legal and illegal business joined together were nothing compared to her net worth. And her being Mrs Pierce, she definitely had a share in Jason's wealth, which was even more than her net worth.“I'm waiting, you still haven't answered me,” she said,
