"No, I have been around." Jason walked into the room and just then, Mrs. Laura's eyes opened. Jasmine didn't see her but Jason did, "My daughter." Mrs. Laura said to call her attention. "Mother," Jasmine called out in response with her eyes begging Jason to shut up and pour out his anger on her later when they are alone. She preferred it that way than have him expose her sins before Mrs. Laura and Jason understood that and swallowed every word he had to spill. "Yes, welcome. Thanks for coming around." Jasmine smiled, this time she had stopped looking at Jason. Jasmine loved Mrs. Laura because of her simplicity and kind heart. "Son, you didn't tell me that you have invited your wife." Jason rolled his eyes from his phone to his mother immediately with eyes as if to say why do you think I could invite her? Why should I invite her? Jasmine tried all she could to keep Jason's shit under control. She was staring with pleading eyes and when Jason couldn't remain calm, he walked out
"I will tell you, after we have eaten." He took her hand and led her out of the living room. "Mom," Jayden called out to his mother. She was in the kitchen making food. There was an apron tied around her waist. "Mom," "My son," She dropped the soup spoon into a bowl. "Welcome, you both came back together?" "No, she returned first," Jayden said taking one more glance at Jasmine and smiling "Are you serving now?" "So, you are not even bothered that your girlfriend doesn't cook?" Jayden was amazed, "But mom you don't let her cook in the kitchen," "Whatever," She said taking a sharp stare at Jasmine who was almost entering into Jason's body as she feared that she might expose her to him and disrupt her happiness. "Mom, stop, just stop." "Of course, I will. If you marry her now I will be coming every day to cook for you and her for a pay. Who would want to make his mother his maid? Jayden," She finished and got back to what she was doing. She didn't say that out of bitterness, s
After Jason's return from the hospital, he gave his credit card to Lisa. Ocar was also called. They stood beside the cushion where Jason was seated, Lisa made sure she kept a visible distance between her and Oscar. "I know it is getting late but this has to be done. Here is the list of things my mother need for her health, get these items and return. Oscar will go with you for security reasons." Oscar looked at her and she knew he was happy about it. "Should we take the goods to her directly or bring it to the store room?" Lisa asked politely. "Yes, you have to take them to her and whatever thing she needs, let me know so you can get them. "Okay, sir." She walked out first while Jason whispered into Oscar's ears. Lisa went away to dress herself up when she found Alberta. She ignored her and went her way. Alberta seemed to understand what was going on so she left her room and waited at the hallway to insult Lisa. After a while, Lisa stepped out looking dashing. Oscar was going
Oscar* Perhaps, it would be my first time expressing my love for Lisa in words. I wished for the day when I would have to put it into action. Was today that day? I hoped for the best. Among all of Mr. Jason's workers and servants, I had served him first. I served him longer than them all. I saw the maids who came and were gone, I had never fallen for any yet but Lisa was unique in some special way. Lisa deserved my love. Even before I began to hear her whisperings about me and being in love with me, I had loved her from the beginning. She was a naive little lady when she moved into the estate but she could cook all your favorite delicacies. She was a star and so Mr. Jason had no other option but to make her the head over the others. It was I who transported her from her hometown in Adelaide. She was right behind the car while I drove, Stanley was unavailable at that time. Along the way, there was an attack and that happened moments after I spotted a private drone some distanc
Lisa* "You won't touch me? Why are you lying? See, Oscar," I started, trying not to get emotional before him. I moved into the room after he opened the door. "What is it?" He asked. "I... I love you and it is obvious. Yes, I accept that I do but please don't hurt me. I experienced heartbreak once and it was..." I broke down and he put my face into his body for a hug. "Don't cry," "I should, it shows how much pain and resentment I felt about keeping a relationship with another man." "I'm not like other men, Lisa." "It's not written on the face, the man who broke my heart did and said sweeter things only to find him entangled on the bed in between the legs of another woman." "I regret coming here, I think we should drive back to estate tonight since we are not ready to stay in peace," "Is that all you have to say?" "What else should I say? She poisoned your mind." "No, she didn't, she made a point." I said looking directly into his eyes and he blinked and lowered his eyes to
Irene said with her eyes fixated on Oscar as she walked into the hotel. "Get in the car, we will get to hear the detailed story when we get home," He said to Lisa. Jason was not available when they arrived, the maids told Oscar that he had gone with his guards to the police department. "For what?" "One of his staff got arrested at night, the press didn't release the news in detail but the headlines. We are waiting for Mr. Jason's return." Oscar pulled his beard and yawned. "Let me make you something to eat, you are hungry," Lisa said and walked away immediately. "We are hungry," Oscar said but she didn't hear him, she was already out of the room. Oscar relaxed on the seat and called Mr. Jason on the phone," "It's good that you called me, you need to be here as soon as possible, it's urgent." He stood to his feet immediately, and ran into his room to wear his suit. He wore his boots and picked everything necessary before walking into the kitchen to inform them that he was lea
Ariella* After I received a call from mom that uncle Duke was getting very lean due to his consistent sickness. I took a cab to his house and met him lying on the bed. He had only his singlet on with his boxers. He couldn't lift his hands, all he could do was lie on the bed and roll his eyes left and right. I planned on taking him to the hospital after making him something to eat. He was looking ugly now, all his beauty faded. After I made him some food to eat, I rushed into the bedroom when I heard my phone beeping. "Hello, mom." I was surprised that mom still cared. "Your aunt just called me and ...," She began to weep on the phone. I tried severally to make her speak up but she couldn't. After spending some minutes to weep, she hung up. I was bothered. I quickly dialed my aunt's code and it began to ring. Fortunately, she picked her call. "Ariella?" "Yes, it me. Are you okay? Mom just called some minutes ago and she was weeping all through." She began to laugh on the ph
As soon as Jasmine stepped out of the mall two masked guys began to follow her without her knowledge. She had her car parked on the driveway since she didn't want to go through the stress of reversing her car before she could exit the premises. Her two hands held tightly on two large bags as she strolled down to her car. First, she dropped one bag on the ground and held it firmly between her legs. With one hand, she ransacked the bag that hunged down her shoulder. Got her car keys and opened the car, "Goodness me, the billionaire's wife couldn't simply press a button on her remote to open her car?" A voice came from behind her and she suddenly became numb. She slowly lowered the bag she had carried from the ground into the driver's seat before making an effort to turn her head to where the voice came from. "Hi," She said without a smile but it was obvious that she felt so dead inside upon seeing their appearance. It was evident from her body language, her eyes were immovabl
