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
The whole house was rowdy and messed up. The women kept going round, trying to have everything in order, the men sat on the couch, playing video games.“Do you need help?” Jason shouted from the living room. “We are fine, thank you,” Amber shouted back. They had decided to host each and every person that came across their lives and helped them out. “Are you sure? It's not too late to contract the cooking out. I can have them get here in the next few minutes.”“Stop pissing me off boy, I said it's fine,” she shouted, cutting him off immediately.Jason kept quiet. Everyone knew how Amber was immediately she went into a mom mode but Jason decided to keep pestering. “Told you to let it be but you wouldn't listen,” Evans mocked him. “Next time, listen to your fellow man.”“Fuck you asshole,” he transferred the aggression from how Amber responded to him into the game they played.A few minutes later, Cara excused herself from the kitchen and went to set the table. The food was getting r
Mason trudged down on Evans’ suit, winking at him. His navy blue suit was specially made for him. He refused to wear another colour and claimed how much he loved the colour. “Remember I once told you to be patient, your time will come soon. Well I guess the day is here now. You are finally getting married to Aunty Amber.”Evans scattered his neatly trimmed hair. “Yes boy, you are right. But you are becoming faster than your shadow. You should be patient.”“How?” He whisper-shouted. “I was telling the truth. And next time, don't mess my hair up. It took my mummy a long time to get it this good.”“Good for you, now keep quiet and let me see when my wife will walk in,” he shut him up, longing his neck to see when his damsel would appear.Evans had discussed with Amber as soon as the whole Cara issue was settled. They both decided that it was pointless sitting around and waiting since they both wanted each other. Amber had invited her parents over and explained what had gone wrong in her
“Look who we have here,” Cynthia snickered as Cara got closer to them. Yul and Marco remained silent and wondered what type of psychopath she was. “Mrs Queen Bee.”“I see your mouth still runs after what you just heard,” Cara fired back. “It only makes me wonder what exactly is going on in your head.”“Oh for you to find you, you just have to wait for my proposed death day, break my head and have whoever reads my brain. If that's possible, and I think it is.”She ruffled her hair back, feeling uncomfortable with the cuffs on her. The faster they get to the prison, the better she can make do with whatever days she has left.“What exactly do you want, Queen bee?”“You know,” Cara closed the gap between them. “Before coming here, I was so scared of what I would say or how you would behave. A part of me even felt some kind of pity for you, thinking that you must have had a hard life; but thinking about it and seeing you run your mouth now, I think you decided to take this road yourself.“
All of them made their way to the courtroom, ready to hear the judgement that would be passed onto them. Cara wore one of her beautiful dresses, a floral knee length dress with a silver 2 inch heel. It made gentle noises as they found their seats amongst the other crowd.“Are you comfortable here?” Jason leaned in, as he watched her attitude. “We can always leave. Are you sure you want to testify?”“I'm fine. If I have to testify, I will,” she released a smile for him to see her wellness.Starting the procedure, Cara excused her. She didn't have the full courage to sit down and listen to a total stranger describe what was done to her and other women. Ella had excused herself from coming. She claimed to have better things to focus on now and there was no use to sit down and whine about the past.“Are you okay?” Jason approached the bench she sat on. “Yes I'm fine,” she turned around, throwing a stone across the street. She looked behind him. “ Where's Mason? Is my presence being reque
Evans sat in his car for a few more minutes, watching the man he had set up a meeting with 2 hours ago. He was sipping his third cup of coffee and messed around with various women that passed his table. This only strengthened his belief in what Amber had gone through. He was not only a cheating son of a bitch, he was a toxic bastard too. He finally decided to get things over with, stepping out of the car and walking straight into the restaurant.“Mr John,” he greeted from afar. “Sorry to keep you waiting. Traffic was something I didn't budget for today.”Both of them shook hands. “It's alright, I understand. We've all been there.”“Please sit, what can the waiter get you?”“Oh as you can see,” he pointed to the empty dish lying on the table and the empty cups of coffee as well. “I've helped myself to something good. Let them bring some for you. Their pasta is something to die for.”Evans chuckled. “Fine, I'll trust your sense of judgement.”Moments later, Evans dived into the pasta th
Jason stepped out into the sitting room with casual clothes on. Cara took a second look at him. “Aren't you going to work today?”“I'm the boss, I can do whatever I like,” he said, going over to Mason and giving him a fist bump.“That's nice,” the sarcasm in her voice, screaming loud at him. “If every boss behaved the way you did, do you think most companies would stand?”“Mrs Pierce, do you want me to work my ass off? Besides, we've got more than enough money to last us forever, so please calm down.”“Hmph,” she hit her feet on the ground and made her way into the kitchen.Jason shook his head and laughed. “Women.”His phone rang and the caller ID turned out to be Ella. They had given her a credit card, in order to buy other things she might need for herself. It was a conference video call.“Hi Ella,” he said, immediately he picked up the phone. Amber and Evans’ heads popped up on one single screen.“Hi Jason, where's Pierce Junior and Mrs Pierce?”“Well Mrs Pierce is pissed that I'm
Kicking the door open without dropping her from his hands, he heard her chuckle underneath him. “Anything to make a man get what he wants,” he said, earning more laughs from him. He laid her down on the bed gently, picking up the remote and switching the bright white light in the room to dull colors. She attempted to stand up but he held her back down.“You don't have to do anything. I told you to trust me, didn't I?”She resigned and laid back on the bed. Her fears started to build up gradually but this time she decided to trust her husband. Jason would never hurt her, she kept repeating that over and over in her head. She shunned out the stupid word Yul always made her repeat and focused solely on Jason. “Keep the lights on, please. At least for the meantime,” she begged. He understood at once why she requested that.He gently loosed her zipper and helped her with her trousers, same as her blouse too. Keeping one of his hands over her face and the other one unhooking her bra, she
Cara hurried to prepare dinner before Jason came back. Mason sat on a table and chair prepared specially for him in the kitchen, a place where he tasted every food his mother prepared, so he could give his opinion. The opened door alerted Cara who just walked in. “Daddy is back, go say hi to him,” she hurried Mason out of the kitchen and reduced the heat under the pot.She could hear their squealing and whining from the kitchen. She stirred the pot of soup and turned off the heat finally before going to welcome her husband.“Hi love,” she tiptoed and kissed him on the cheeks. That was all she has been doing since she got back. She wears long tight trousers to bed every night. Jason wondered if she was comfortable in them but he believed she was taking her time to heal and he shouldn't rush her.His smile started to fade into a sad look, as he remembered Cynthia's words. She must have known the kind of treatment that went on in Marco's place, for her to make that statement. His family
2 cups of coffee on a tray was brought in by Jason. He gently turned around, closing the door. He looked at his wristwatch and saw that he was right on time, he opened one of the coffee and helped himself to it. Soon after, the door opened with Cynthia cuffed, walking in front of Earl.“I'll be in my office, I have something to attend to,” Earl said, walking out almost immediately. He popped his head back into the room. “If you need anything, one of my officers will be at the door.”“Thank you so much Earl.”He turned his attention to the woman who sought his head.“Morning love,” Jason grimaced, wearing his most beautiful smile. “It's been a while since we last saw each other.”Her expression was solid and blank. “What do you want? I don't have time for your jokes.”He lowered the cup of coffee from his lips and pushed the other one to her. “You joke a lot. What happened to all the free time you have here? Do you have any chores to do or anyone to meet up with?”She pushed the cup of
