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 tried touching her but she flinched, scared of what he might do to her."Hey Cara, it's me. It's me Jason, I would never hurt you, I swear," his voice became gentle as much as it could."W-Where's my son? Where's Mason?" She turned around frantically, searching all over the room."He pushed my baby away, he kicked him," she continued with whimpers in her voice. "Where's Mason?" Her voice raised a notch.Jason tried to soothe her but it wasn't doing the trick. "Mason is fine, Mason is fine, believe me Cara. I'm so sorry I let this happen to you.""Bring him to me, let me see him. I want to see him."Jason, seeing that she wouldn't let him touch her until she sees her son, rushed out to get Mason from the car.On sighting her son, she sprinted and grabbed onto him tight.Her left eye was swollen and red, the flesh around it covered up the eye, making it difficult for her to see clearly.She wrapped him in her embrace, crying."I'm so sorry baby, mummy is so sorry that she let this ha
Jackson'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
