Jason thought. He watched her from where he sat. She looked so pretty and delicate in her wheelchair to have been lifeless on the road that night.
He watched silently, his curious eyes drifted to every part of her body he could see, noticing how shiny and curly her hair was and the fact that it was braided into two parallel lines and some tendrils left to give her an innocent look.
But most importantly, he loved her skin color. Like a mixture of black coffee and milk, her caramel skin shone under her thick dark curls bringing her beauty to life.
Sophia nervously wheeled herself inside the living room where everyone sat waiting for her.
Refusing to make eye contact with the guests for fear of how real the situation was. she glanced at Stanley who gave her a warm smile encouraging her further into the room.
"Dear, how are you doing this morni

"Won't you tell me already why you've been hiding here for the past few days? Because I know you, Jason, these past few weeks you took me and our relationship for granted, and all of a sudden you're back like nothing happened" Charlotte queried. Jason was on the treadmill running laps with sweat dripping all over his fit body. He paid less attention to her knowing it got on her nerves really bad. "Do not give me that silence for an answer am talking to you Jason and as your girlfriend, I need an answer ASAP!!!" She jabbed her long-filed nails at his chest stopping him on his track. "Look char... Am in no mood for your banter, I thought you wanted me here with you? And now am here, you're disturbing." He walked off the mill and into their shared expensive room dabbing at his moist silky skin.Charlotte followed suit. "Yes you're here but half of you is here not all. Something is wrong and I can sense it, Sean isn't acting like

Olivia Bestman sat in an armchair facing her husband. Thinking about how the situation escalated so much. "Your lawyer came by yesterday... And left with a conflicted look, it bothered me so much what the secret meeting was about..." She paused for a while to gauge his reactions. "Is it true?." "Yes... Yes, whatever your guts told you is true." "How could you do that to our son? You can't give away all our fortune to a cripple! Ernest this is our hard-earned wealth!" She cried. "I mean there are other ways to get our son to turn a new leaf than giving up everything to some beggar. We can sit him down and talk to him, when was the last time you both had a father and son time? It's either you're on your long travels or he's trying to avoid your judgmental gazes." Ernest stood in anger. he loved his son as much but his wife contributed so much to his irresponsibility and still did.

Everyone was here except him!... Sophia thought while they all sat in the magistrate's office waiting for the so-called groom to make his grand appearance. There was no need for a white wedding. Olivia insisted it wasn't necessary and Sophia didn't mind, she wasn't stable for the stress that came with it though. So they all arranged a mini court wedding and after the paperwork are signed everyone would converge at the Bestman mansion for an extravagant reception. Maureen already saw to it that the maids at home prepared assorted dishes for her guests. Her stepmother was more enthusiastic than the bride herself, she dressed in a peach Alexander Mac Quinn gown which barely covered her upper bosom. But unlike her, Olivia dressed in a simple carton color skirt and blouse and matched with a flowery hat and her red bottom heels. She looked quite exotic and still maintained her simplicity, unlike Mau

Infuriated was the word Jason would use to explain his present emotion as he ransacked his live-in closet for his passport and money, yet found nothing. It was obvious his tenacious mother and over-prioritized father had invaded his privacy once more, dashing all his immediate plans of eloping with charlotte to the mud. Jason groaned in frustration, he flung some clothes off the hanger, furiously dragging his expensive leather box out of the wardrobe, and began tearing out everything in it without a second thought. Seeing red, Jason marched down to his parent's quarters in the east wing muttering incoherent words to himself as he ignored the weird looks by the servants around. "Where is it?!" He exhaled watching his mother carefully like a predator. Olivia stopped applying her night lotion and smiled once she saw her son came home. "Jason you're h

She woke up to murmuring, people were talking inaudibly in the hallway beside her door. Sophia thought it was happening in her late afternoon dream, but she woke and still heard two voices murmuring outside her door and one had masculinity to it. she wasn't expecting anyone, not Stan nor Maureen and her doctor was supposed to come in the early mornings. she sat up under the duvet to listen for a while. "Is she here already?" The male voice asked. "Yes_yes sir, she is but she's sleeping. you can meet her once she's awake, her doctor thinks_" The feminine voice was interrupted harshly. "I don't care what the doctor thinks, and I don't care to see her." Hisses. Sophia could hear footsteps retreating, and nothing. She didn't grab much from the little conversation but she guessed it was one of her maids. either Sabina or the other one whom she didn't know her name.But who she was talking to? She didn't know. But that was the least o

Jason finally moved in!... He moved in, having nowhere else to go for shelter he was forced to move into his new home. But he did well to see that they both never saw each other. He wasn't ready to become friends with anyone. So he'd return home very late at night and stay up all night in the living room to drink to stupor, whenever he managed not to get drunk outside. The drink helped his insomnia. Found it very difficult to catch a good night's sleep especially when the reason was just rooms apart. So he drank till he could forget his sad and haunting conscience. Then the next day he'd wake by 8:00 am after his morning routine he'd run off to God knows where. In his mind, he thought Sophia wouldn't want to lay eyes on him or speak to him at all. He thought she hated him for her situation. So he didn't want to see the pain in her eyes nor hear her bitter words. As h

Maureen visited!.... Maureen stormed the house with her noisy nature and demanded the maids rush to the kitchen and prepare varieties for her. Claiming she was supposed to be treated as a very important guest because it was her daughter's home. And so the maids did as she commanded. Luckily Sophia had no therapy sessions. "Dear you look so well and younger, bet your husband is good with you" she tried to tease. Sophia barely smiled. "Welcome, how is the house-hunting going for you?." "It hasn't been easy dear, my friends and even my enemies now want to be helpful because they think I've got gold, and of course I have. it's not easy becoming in-laws with such a rich family." She bragged caressing her costly chain watch. Sophia noticed, Maureen was becoming very extravagant and wasn't sure where the money was from. "Sure." "These girls you keep around are very incompetent. how long does it take to prepare a three-co

Jason had a huge fallout with charlotte. She was beginning to pressurize him, demanding they both elope to another city or country altogether as previously planned. Charlotte seemed to forget that what held him home was much more than he could explain. He couldn't leave his fortune and run off with nothing all in the name of love. He wanted badly to run away with charlotte and even get married but, he would lose everything and have nothing, and charlotte wasn't the most decent girl, she wouldn't be able to cope without money or understand that he was broke. She loved to spend a lot even on unnecessary things. She could spend money on trivial things because Jason was always there to pay. But this time the wheels changed. He felt more peaceful in his new home than with charlotte. She began to nag unnecessarily and her mood swings. Jason already lost count of the number of times she had

Charlotte heavy sat in a rickety congested bus on her way to Sean's house. Feeling disgusted with herself and everyone inside the bus which wasn't the best option for a pregnant woman like her because every bad road they encountered was seeming detrimental to her and the baby's health. She had cried so much the day she discovered that Jason and Sophia were back together and engaged. After hoping she could get back with Jason once he returned from London now it felt like a dream those years in university when he cared for her in different ways. She messed up big time and she knew it by going for Sean. Sean was mean to her, he refused the pregnancy insisting they run a DNA test once the baby was born but yet refused to fund her medical bills.She couldn't return to her pauper home with her hopeless parents that derived peace in their condition. She has always hated her life with her parents and siblings. The slums and bad weather. she never felt th

Soundtrack: (Memories by Maroon5)🎵🎶 Three months later... The butler who stood at the entrance to the Bestman inc. Handed him his fur coat efficiently as he sighted his boss's son stepping out of the elevator with some of the company workers, they were all engulfed in their deep conversations that they didn't notice anyone else around. As business tycoons they were, every other thing around them didn't matter at all until they were out of the company premises, It was all strictly business. After a few banter with his colleagues, Jason finally took the opened door and stepped out into the cold winter. It was Christmas already. The streets were filled with Christmas vibes with decorations of white, green, and red everywhere. Children in the playground built snowballs and castles. You could see the anticipatory smiles on people's faces because it was a season of love and sharing. J

He hated the smell of hospitals... It nauseated him to the brim. Everyone there always looked somewhat depressed and pitiable and it wasn't a nice feeling at all. Jason adjusted his black nose mask which he intentionally wore to prevent excessive inhalation of the hospital antiseptics and drugs that had become a permanent smell. As he walked through the hallway in search of the cashier section for the final discharge bills with his unkempt curls bouncing all overthe place without care, Jason observed the stolid atmosphere, there were a lot of people trooping in and out of the general hospital all in their world of problems alongside their loved ones. It depressed him to know that such an amount of people fell sick each day. It may sound unbelievable but he never needed to visit a general hospital even at a younger age. But when Mason called the day before, informing him of Sean's attempt to take his own life, Jaso

Touche, if the tear rubber Audi E-Tron that came as a wedding present a few months ago was human, it would be ballistic for the graceless and heavy-handed way Jason drove it in the streets through the highway to the familiar quiet aesthetic area he lived in. The thrill he felt at the latest discovery that Charlotte wasn't pregnant for him was unimaginably relieving. The only thought in his skittish mind was Sophia. His dear wife, to return in her arms as he left her that cold morning, and if only she would still be in her silky nighties with her curls shrouding her high cheekbones and plump lips nothing would give him more pleasure than to cup her in his arms and apologize for his irrationalities and promise her forever together. It would settle any indifference she had towards him. Jason smiled at the thought of something new with Sophia. She was like a breath of fresh air that he'd longed for and he knew deep down

FATE Chapter thirty four
Ernest Bestman paced about in his office deep in thought. His wife and son were seated across him with uncertainty. Jason sat beside his mother feeling uncomfortable and anxious.He was scared of his father's reaction towards his current situation. Yesterday's events had him running on his heels with alacrity for solutions. He couldn't stomach the intensity of what Charlotte had thrown at him the previous day prompting his early rise. As he took a longing glance at his breathtaking innocent wife spread on the rumpled sheets drawing in alluring shallow breaths, the sound a strong sedative, an antidote for his persistent insomnia which had haunted him since the incident that brought them together. He would have loved for nothing more than to lay by her side till whenever the sun was down. Jason shook his head in dismay at his hopeless romantic thoughts. Carefully and unwillingly he s

It rained heavily that night!... He was drunk and drained of energy. He wanted to give up everything so badly but the thought of a lonely someone kept him sane and he wanted to fight for what they had till his last breath. That was his conclusion as he stepped into the dark cold room to find her awake staring into nothingness. His feet felt too heavy to move once her apprehensive gaze fell on him, her countenance changed to that of a stranger. “You still keep them around?” Sophia questioned dryly. Jason stopped moving closer. “What?!.” “What did she want now?” she continued, ignoring his previous question. Jason wanted to explain everything from top to bottom, but the intensity of what he was about to say weighed down on him so much, he was afraid Sophia could not bear it. “Why are you doing this?... What’s your bloody aim Jason?!” she

The August visit!!!... Charlotte rushed towards Jason once her gaze fell on him. It had been weeks and days he had been avoiding her and she didn't know what to do. The first time she came to his house she was dead drunk and didn't know her bearing. She had to prod Sean before he revealed Jason's address. Relieved, was how she felt setting eyes on Jason who looked angry and tired. She fell into his arms before Jason could comprehend a thing. "Baby, thank goodness you're alright. I thought you've gone on one of your disturbing escapades" she showered swift wet kisses on his neck as she clutched to him firmly, afraid he might push her away. Sophia rolled in at that moment to behold the unprecedented drama. This time around, her emotions weren't just everywhere they were drained. After the little fight, they had on their way home she was expecting to return home and rest maybe t
