THE HOUSE IS SUFFOCATING

Master Jayden and his personal assistant Andrew matched into the Oscars' family secret mason and when Jayden tried to escape to his room, they got surprised to see Amanda on the sofa crocheting. It was more of her hobby. As they walked into the living room, she turned and raised a brow, then waved her hand to her son.

“Where did you go to? I thought you retired to your room already.” Amanda asked and stopped what she was doing.

“I…” He was thinking of what to say.

“We went to town to…” Andrew already thought of a lie, but Jayden wasn't ready to let his personal assistant get the credit of defending him.

Interrupting Andrew, “I went to town to visit a long-time friend!” He walked up to his mother and sat beside her, “And I took your Mercedes as well.” Jayden stated, and she smiled.

“I know that as well! Dominic told me so.” She mentioned and gently touched her son's face with her free hand, her eyes were brown, and it looked so beautiful. Jayden then rested his head on his mother's shoulder and held her tight to himself. Andrew, however, excused himself and went away.

Jayden's weak point was his mother. There were only emotions seen on his face whenever he was close to her but, to the outside world, he was a furious beast.

“Dinner is ready!” Margret announced, “Oh dear, I didn't see you around. Did you go somewhere?” She asked Jayden and got no response. Jayden just gave a deaf ear to her question and stood up.

“Thank you, Margret!” Amanda said in a gentle tone. Margret pretended to be pleased and turned away. 

“How do you put up with her?” Jayden asked angrily.

Amanda didn't react, she just picked back her crochet and continued, “She is your dad's wife. You really have to accept that and stop all this. She is also your stepmother, you know?” She looked up at Jayden and he looked away.

“I will go refresh before everyone comes down.” He responded and walked away.

Soon, everyone gathered around the big dinning table. Since they were, they had to leave the small dinning and use the one downstairs. It was so wide and well spaced. It has frames of different art works on it but, not more than six. This time, there were no empty seats because all were occupied and each person knew their position at the dinning. 

Mr. Oscars was the one to seat at the grand seat and Jayden sat beside him. However, the dinning table was filled with countless delicious meals and everyone wanted to have a bite as fast as possible but, Mr. Oscars would order someone to pray for the meal first. It was the rule of the Oscars family and since it was a get together dinner, it must be carried out.

The servants of the household stood beside the dinning table, just in case they need to attend to any urgent assistance. 

“Jayden, pray for the food!” Mr. Oscars requested, and everyone closed their eyes. He picked Jayden because, it has been a while, Jayden joined them to eat. Though they all had lunch, but he asked for his food to be taken to his room.

“I won't!” Everyone heard Jayden refusal and eyes opened again. 

To avoid quarrels, Amanda tapped Alexis and without saying a word, she knew why her Aunt touched her, “I will pray!” Alexis mentioned, “Let's close our eyes, please.” Alexis said with her tiny feminine voice, and it melted Jayden. Her sweet voice would melt any soul and so, everyone obeyed her.

They knew she was doing it for Alexis and so, no one dared to say anything since Mr. Oscars already accepted. Alexis was so special in the Oscars’ family. Was it because of Jayden or her pure nature?

Alexis said a short prayer and soon, spoons on plates were being heard. Everyone went for their taste. 

“Please pass the vegetable!” One said and immediately, a young maid rushed and handed it over.

“So, Jayden, what have you been up to lately?” Margret asked while faking a smile.

Jayden didn't even rise his head to look at her before giving an answer, “It’s not your business!” He said rudely.

“But I just want to know if you're really handling the affairs of the company as suppose.” Margret was persistent and it annoyed Jayden the more.

Jayden raised his head and looked up at Margret, “That is just none of your fuck*** business.” 

“You don't talk to her like that! And what did I say about the f word?” Mr. Oscars warned.

“Or you get another wife? Isn't that the complete statement you had in mind?” Jayden asked, and everyone at the table froze. Even the servants dared not to breathe.

“You don't talk to your father that way!” Amanda uttered.

Jayden dropped his fork roughly, “I’m done eating! If you'd excuse me.” He furrowed his brow, looking like an angry beast, he glanced at his Dad and then at Margret. He cleaned his mouth and walked out.

“Son!” Amanda called out as she rolled her eyes at Margret. She knew Margret was continually trying to put more charcoals to the burning fire.

Jayden heard his mother's voice and stopped halfway out of the dinning room. He was standing just opposite a hung mirror on the wall. His back reflection showed in the mirror.

“Jay, you shouldn't get angry at that. His only…” Aunt Kathy did not finish her statement.

“I don't need your advice.” Jayden paused for a while, “Mum, I will come back tomorrow. The house is suffocating.” Amanda understood her son. Though the house was wide enough for ventilation but, the truth remained that, he hated almost everyone.

Margret's relatives came over for holiday as well, and it annoyed Jayden to see them. 

However, Alexis wanted to follow Jayden because, she was the only one who could cool his temper. He loved her so much that he would do anything she asks.

“No, stay back with mum. She might need your assistance. I am sorry, I won't sleep here tonight but, I promise to get something when I come tomorrow.” Alexis sat back on her seat and nodded in acceptance.

Andrew, immediately, ran after his master Jayden. Andrew called the driver and also called a hotel. The hotel was Jayden's favorite. Though he loved other hotels, but, he visited this hotel more than the others. 

“I’m going with the Ferrari. You come with the girl.” Jayden said, while pointing at the Ferrari, he entered the car without waiting for the driver and zoomed off.
