As soon as Cara pushed the door to the McQueen's door open, the creaking sound of the door echoed throughout the house.When she finally took charge of her father's mansion, she relieved every worker of their duties. Amber stood with open arms and a wide smile on her face."Congratulations," she screamed immediately she saw her enter but Cara's face said otherwise."How did you know?" Cara slumped on the couch with Mason fast asleep on her shoulders."Jason told me. What's wrong? You don't look too good," the space beside Cara deepened as Amber sat in it.She rested her head on the arm of the couch, a long deep sigh escaped from her lips."I messed up Amber, so badly. Today is the first day I'll see a very heartbreaking look on Jason's face, it was so sad.""What happened? Do you want to talk about it?""Remember the stupid way I was behaving ever since I found out about Sir Jackson going to the office. He saw Mason today and he had no idea that Jason had a kid. He behaved as if he wa
As soon as his eyes flickered open, they came in contact with the bright white light, he winced and shut them almost immediately. He positioned himself properly and turned himself to the other side of the bed, facing downwards. He sat upright and decided to evaluate himself, he had passed the night in his office wear.The door swung open and Evans' head popped out. He came into full view with a cup of coffee, some pills and a glass of water in a tray."Figured out your head will be banging. Here, I brought some pills for you," he dropped it on the bedside table for him."Thanks man," he gulped the pills down his throat in a hurry. "You couldn't have changed my clothes?"Evans looked at him like he suddenly grew 2 heads, a short mocking laugh complimenting the look on his face. "You are joking, right?""Get out of here man, you are about to spit rubbish," he said, grabbing the cup of coffee.Evans stood at the door, watching him take a sip out of the coffee. Jason's demeanor changed im
The shocking revelation of being a grandad affected his work rate and his personal life. Ashamed to call Jason, he remembered the uncanny resemblance between father and son. The need to make things right with his son bit at him badly but he had committed the worst thing ever, sleeping with his son's wife.How could he face him after all? He wanted to be back in his life, knowing now that he has a grandson.The past few days, Cynthia's presence reduced drastically and he wondered what was up with her. Just like he thought, the door to his office opened, she strolled in in a very seductive walk. Her face was transformed with a very heavy makeover and her walk gave a different aura."How are you doing love?" She stopped at his desk, placing a kiss on his cheeks before settling to sit."Not good," he released a grunt, swirling around in his chair with his right hand on his forehead. Maybe talking to someone and having their opinions could work."Want to talk about it?" She removed a chewi
Red and white color of rose trailed from the entrance of the church down to the altar. A small decoration hanging beautifully at the altar, accompanied by its occupants.Jason stood graciously in a white suit with his hands interlocked in his front and his hair packed tightly into a bun. His ocean blue eye color waited anxiously, its deep gaze fixated at the door, waiting just to see the only woman he had ever longed to be with.Not long, the pointy gentle noise of one walking in seized his breath. Standing in all her glory and beauty, Cara walked in with Amber beside her.A nude lipstick matted her lips and a subtle makeover brought out her entire beauty. In Jason's eyes, he saw no one more worthy than her.The white flowing wedding gown dragged across the tiled floor of the church with every step she took. At that moment, Jason was convinced that he had made a beautiful choice with the dress he bought."Oh man, she really looks beautiful," Evans' voice brushed Jason's ears gently."
Making out in the back seat of the car, both of them ramped up upon themselves, with heavy breathings exhaling from their oral cavity."We can do this at home, it will just be us," Cara said in the heat of the moment, trying to refrain the driver from listening in on their lovemaking session.Even though there was a barricade between them, she felt the need to protect whatever dignity she had left."Fuck it babe, you are mine. My wife, if you've forgotten that," he growled, finding his ways under the huge white wedding gown.As soon as his hands found the spot he sought, unconsciously, Cara's head flung back from the pleasure downing between her legs."Oh Jason," a moan escaped from her lips, pinning her lower lips between her teeths. Her artificial nails dug into Jason's back while she squirmed under him.His hands moved to pulling her underwear when the car stopped abruptly. The driver announced through the speaker connected to the back seat, interrupting their moment of bliss."Apo
The cloth was ripped away from her body with so much ferocity as both of them fell to the bed with a heavy thud.Her breathing escalated rapidly. She looked at Jason, his eyes consumed by the intensity of his love. He battled with his suit while Cara assisted him with his trousers.The moment it went down, she flinched upon seeing his length. She battled with her inner self, whether she was ready to take it all in.Jason noticed her hesitation, smiling to himself. "It's alright babe, I'll go easy."She could only nod, he closed the gap between them, taking her lips gently. A soft moan escaped from her lips, his right hand freed her breast from the captivity they were being held in.He fondled her breast gently, giving her nipple a little pinch. A sharp cry emerged from her mouth, mixed with pleasure and pain.He switched his hands and directed his right hand to her coochie, his fingers, fiddling around her lower region. Dipping his middle finger into her, she released herself away fro
The custom ringtone of Jason's phone disrupted his sleep. He strained his eyes and massaged his head, searching for his phone blindly with his hand.He located it and leveled it to his face, the caller ID had him jumped up from the bed. Dragging the duvet over his body, he covered his birthday suit and rubbed his eye to get a clear view of the caller."Morning dad," he answered into the phone, his hoarse sleepy voice instead of the normal voice. "Isn't it weird to be calling me this early?""It's 9am Jason and I have every right to call you whenever I want," Jackson said."If you keep up with this attitude, you will die a lonely man," he fired back. "What can I do for you?""We need to see and talk. When will you be free?"He dropped his phone and placed the call on speaker. Switching between the apps, he navigated his way to the calendar trying to check for a free day."Tomorrow, 12pm. Is that fine with you?""What choice do I have? The billionaire Jason Pierce has given his order. W
Jason walked into his father's office, in his finely trimmed black suit. His hair left down, swerving around with each step he took.He sighted his father at the other side, looking down at something. He got closer and saw it was the family's album."What are you doing with that old man? Trying to get back some kind of memory?" He settled in the seat just across the table.Jackson removed his reading glasses and placed them in its case. A sad smile went across his lips as he shifted out of his enclosure. His eyes roamed Jason's body, from up to down and vice versa. "You look different," he said.Jason's right eyebrow lifted up, his lip twitched to the left side, trying to understand what his father meant. "In a good way, I mean," Jackson corrected himself quickly. "You do look like a married man now, your aura is different."Jason sighed, contemplating whether to tell him or not. "If you'd ask me, I'd say you look sad and lonely and pained.""Well you are not entirely wrong," Jackso
A week laterCynthia laid on the bed in the dark in lingerie, with a glass of fruit wine beside her. A sex toy laid beside her, she had just satisfied herself and was stepping it down with a cold drink. There was no available man and it was only reasonable if she did it herself. A new message on her notification bar caught her attention. Scrolling down, she tapped on it. It was a message from Eli—the private investigator. It contained everything about Jason and Cara's life, most especially Cara's. It was something she could work with, it was more than perfect. She rang Eli's number and he picked it almost immediately.“I got your package, it's more than enough that I can work with,” she said. “I'll have your balance sent to you soon.”“No problem, it was nice doing business with you,” he said, dropping the call before she could say anything else.“You t–” she heard the end button before she could complete her statement. “Asshole,” she mumbled, sitting up to make a transfer and also f
Like a set of children being scolded, 3 of them stood in front of a grumpy Amber. Evan was so relieved that she had calmed down a bit but he could still see through her how much she boiled.Her scratchy voice filled the air, turning her attention towards the man who unfortunately witnessed the first phase.“What part of getting out did you miss previously?”“I'm sorry I can't leave you all by yourself,” Evans said, taking a step further. Her bloodshot eyes stopped him from taking another one.She scoffed, rolling her eyes and adjusting her head on the pillow. “Funny how you can't leave me now when that was literally all you did.”He knew that no matter the words he said would suffice her. All he had to do was keep quiet and think carefully about choosing his words well.“This is not a fair attitude to any of us,” Cara spoke up, angry and irritated about her present attitude.Amber raised her head gently and fired her a deadly look. “You always had everything you wanted. Did I ask you
Trying to adjust her eyes to the bright white light shining proved a lot more difficult than she thought. She let out a soft groan and turned her head over to the other side, various tubes and wires were plugged in her head. Her head banged, but not as much as when you had too much to drink.Her leg hit something, she looked down and saw someone sleeping with their head on the bed.Her constant movement had him wake up. “Amber,” Evans rushed to her, checking her face to see if she was alright.Not giving him a response, he pressed the button above her bed. There was no way he was leaving her sight.The nurses entered almost immediately and examined her. “She's fine but we will need her to rest well in order to recuperate her lost energy. And we will be placing a closer look on her, you have nothing to worry about Mr Evans.”“Thank you so much nurse, thank you,” he kept repeating till she was out of sight.Still not saying a word, Amber looked at him like he had suddenly grown 2 heads.
Concealing her identity with a woolly scarf over her head, a nose mask on her face and sunglasses, she walked out the door past 5. She helped lock the door and kept Stacey's keys where it was supposed to be. She was done for good with her, nothing could bring her back and she hoped there would be nothing of such.She flagged down a cab and gave directions to the house Adrian left in her name. An old place to start a new life.“Isn't it weird to be dressed that way by this time of the day?” The cab driver said, trying to initiate a conversation.Her lips twisted to the itself, giving the impression of being irritated. She lowered the sunglasses a bit and looked in the overhead mirror. “You have a problem with how I dress?”Taken aback by her response, he tried to manage the situation by laughing. “Not at all madam, I'm just trying to start up a conversation with you. That's what I do with every one of my passengers in order to make everywhere lively and possibly get to know them better
The past 2-3 days in solitude have been worse for Cynthia. She barely talked, still in shock of how dumb she could be. How she didn't let herself read the handwriting on the wall because she believed that Jason would do anything his father wanted. But he had proven to her that he was smarter than all of them. And the only man who ever gave her a chance even though they were both in the wrong, was someone she just unalived. No matter the bad blood between Jason and his father before he died, Jason wasn't going to let this slide. He would make sure to find her till his last days on earth.The time Stacey gave her to vacate her house was drawing closer. In a bid to save her own head too, she had to find a place to live. A secluded place.She had never been fair to Stacey when she thought she had everything at her beck and call but now she understood if she didn't want to accommodate a murderer in the house.The door went open, jolting her out of her bickering. Stacey has given her a rul
Evans rushed towards the doctor going in the opposite direction. He had been in the clinic for the past 2 days with no sign of Amber waking up. Worried he decided to go make more enquiries and not wallow in assumptions.“Hey doc, good morning,” all his words rushed out in one breath. “It's about the lady in the VIP room. What's going on? I can barely see any changes in her.”“You have nothing to worry about Mr Evans. We sedated her and she not waking up is still within the time range of her sedation. If it's beyond 5 days and she's not up, then we'll know when to come in.”“5 days is a lot of time for beating myself up. Is there anything I can do prior to then?”Sensing his frustration and guilt, he decided to ease his burden.“We had to do that because of the amount of blood she lost. Luckily she was brought in in time and we had to do a blood transfusion on her. Just give her enough time to recover, everything will be fine Mr Evans.”Without a second word, he walked away, leaving Ev
The entire time Amber laid there with various tubes attached to her felt like an eternity to Evans. Cara had taken an excuse to pick Mason up from school while Jason left to clear Evans’ work up. His hand trembled badly as he held on to Amber's. Holding his tears back, he exhaled loudly.“I'm so sorry baby, I'm so sorry,” he kept muttering underneath his breath. “I had no idea I meant that much to you. You shouldn't have gone this far to prove that to me.”His phone rang, diverting his attention away from her. The caller ID had his face rumpled up. The bastard had the right to be calling him even when the love of his life was right beside him struggling for her life.On second thought, he decided to pick up, to hear what he had to say.“John,” he called out on the first pick. “It's been a while, how can I help you?”“Evan, my man,” the excitement in his voice couldn't go unnoticed and he wondered what he had to say.He was desperately trying to keep his anger under the radar and if he
Not having so much to do and with her son in school, Cara grabbed her phone and decided to say hi to her friend. It's been a while since she showed up at her father's house and saw Amber, not after that incident with Evans. She wondered what he was going to do about it. The company was moving fine and her father's employees were just as loyal to her as they were to him. Deciding not to take any car, she hailed a cab and wondered who to visit first. Evans or Amber?Settling for the latter choice, she gave the address to her father's house. Amber had never called since then and she too was busy trying to get Jason out of his worried state. He feared so much about Cynthia being on the run, worried that she would come after her and Mason. “We are here ma'am,” the cab driver infiltrated her thoughts.“Thank you so much,” she alighted and paid, walking straight to the gate. She pushed the gate open, hoping it was unlocked. Disappointed, she brought out her key and inserted it into the key
Jason ruffled his hair and sighed in frustration, the clicking of the keyboard pads intensified. This action drew the attention of Cara who was seated on the couch, watching a movie. She paused her movie and carefully stood up without making a sound. Her hands found his way to his shoulders, gently massaging him.He threw his head back and sighed in relief. Her hands continued all the way from his shoulders to his neck, gently applying pressure on it.“Do you want to talk about it?” She said, “you know I listen pretty well.”His eyes were closed, feeling relaxed under her touch. “It's not something you should worry yourself about.”“Is it about Cynthia? Still no sign of her?”“Hmmmmmm,” he nodded his head and sat straight.She took a seat beside him and held his hands together. “Why don't you leave it to the police to find her? You worry too much Jason.”“I do not worry for myself babe, I worry for you and Mason. She's a crazy woman who would do anything to get what she wants. She can
