Jason's POVI paced restlessly in the living room, my heart plunging into great turmoil as the kidnappers decided to not pick or return my calls. "Why don't we go ahead and give them the documents so that Violet can be freed?" I suggested in frustration. "We don't even know what she's going through over there." My voice cracked as I raked through my already disheveled hair.I rarely showed my emotions, moreso, displaying my vulnerability, but the will to keep the tears that had gathered in my eyes from falling failed me."We can't give those losers the document, Jay. They aren't to be trusted and what if we hand it over to them and they to ahead to kill her? That means that we lost at both ends," my Grandpa said and I pinched the bridge of my nose with my head aching painfully.The last few days had gone by without me closing my eyes to sleep. How could I sleep when the only one who could help me achieve that was in danger?How could I relax and take care of business when my mind wa
Jason's POVWe all turned to Charles with a questioning look. “What did you say?” I asked him with a narrow look. Charles was quiet for a few minutes. I wanted to talk but my grandpa stopped me. We all focused on him until he turned to me looking undisturbed with all the pressure that was going on.He looked quite shocked and his mouth opened slightly. I wasn't the only one he was making anxious. Everyone in the room was.My grandpa, my father and mother, Clara and martin. We all looked at him expectantly.“Boy, if you have anything to say just say it," my grandpa barked.I thought he was telling me to be patient.Charles inhaled and exhaled.“I don't know if it is just a coincidence or a replica but that mark looks the exact same as Violet 's birthmark. I have seen it on her several times.” he announced with a tone of certainty. Just as he said that, everyone's eyes turned to me. I knew the reason was because I'm her husband. That couldn't be true, I tried to remember all the tim
Summer’s POVI was elated! For the first time, I had accomplished something perfectly. I also didn't know the importance of this document but I knew it has a lot of worth. Aunt Kaitlyn had said that it is the only reason that could keep me in the Hughes family.I didn't want to leave that family. I have known wealth since I was a child and returning to the slim at this age would be brutal. I gripped on it tightly, maybe more than I should have as I walked to the person who saved me. Everyone had someone who saved them from a major calamity, mine was Aunt Kaitlyn and I would forever be indebted. My life hasn't been rosy but she somehow found a way to make it better. “Did you get it?” Aunt Kaitlyn asked, sounding eager. I brought out the document behind me and beamed. “We did it!” I said happily. A hand snatched it from me before hugging the person beside her. Apparently, that was Aunt Kaitlyn's husband. He was never friendly and all he cared about was the money.“After all that we
Violet ’s POVThe air in the room was tense, no matter how they tried to hide it. I could see through all their acts. Something was wrong and they weren't talking. “Is everything fine?” I asked Jason. He stared at me before looking back at his food. I couldn't contain my curiosity anymore, I tapped my foot impatiently waiting for someone to spill whatever happened. This continued throughout the meal and everyone dispersed. “Let me take you to the room,”Jason said gently. He carried me into the room and placed me gently, his eyes were gloomy as I stared into them. I was sure it was about my kidnap. Since I returned they haven't said anything to me. Not even my brother. I didn't see Charles as usual but that wasn't what was bothering me.“Would you please tell me what is going on? The whole attitude is making me nervous.” I let out.“Nothing is wrong babe, I know you are worried,” he said. “What then happened?” I questioned. “Nothing happened. We were just talking about not want
Jason's POVI really couldn't bring myself to tell Violet about the whole thing until I'd found concrete evidence and how to protect her. I didn't want her to have fear that someone was after her life.We all sat down discussing the way forward. At the point everyone didn't know what to do, I had never had to have such a challenging situation before. We were all in the middle of a dilemma not knowing where to turn to. Only my mother and Clara weren't seated. We left them with Violet to make sure she was alright. Even Donald wouldn't leave. He was happy to help in this whole thing.“We have to confirm if Violet is truly an Hughes, ” grandpa said. I looked at everyone gathered, we were a group of six. We had all decided to come together to tackle this issue as it was getting harder than we thought. Violet 's father would have been our path but he was killed.“Are you doubting the current evidence? ” Charles asked.I was also thinking of asking the same thing. There was enough evid
Jason's POV I didn't know why I was scared but I was. I took the book, wrapped it in a paper bag because I didn't want to accidentally meet Violet on the way. I went back to the room the remaining five were. “Here's the diary that might hold all our answers," I said to them. We all decided that it was right for Charles to read it. After all it was his father we wanted to talk about. I noticed the pain in Charles' eyes, this was the main reason we had to find whoever did this. We all gathered at the tables Charles skimmed through the pages before searching for the exact date Violet ’s mom said she was brought. After a while, Charles' face turned sour and he immediately passed the book to me. “I can't read it,” he let out painfully. I understood what he was going through and collected the book from him. I looked at the page he opened and I was shocked at what I saw. I didn't know if Charles saw it because he shouldn't see it and he would be still. I looked at everyon
Summer’s POV I twirled the glass cup in my hands worriedly. Staring at the wall In front of me, I could remember our agreement years ago. I was a child but it was still fresh in my head. Even if I had wanted to forget it, Aunt Kaitlyn and her husband won't stop reminding me of who I am. That agreement had changed my life, I had not expected it and it was a life changer for me. I thank my stars everyday for meeting someone like her. It was not easy in the slum. I woke up everyday with no food or shelter. I had to fend for myself either by stealing or doing anything illegal. The orphanage that I was put in cared little for us. But was it their fault? It was the fault of our parents who either died when they weren't supposed to or left us to the cruel hands of the world. At first when I left the orphanage, I had thought I found wealthy parents and I was happy until I was told that I was going to become another person.
Summer’s Pov But at the same time, these people helped me, they saved me from living in penury and I don't think repaying them like this would be fair. I was in the middle of a dilemma.Sighing loudly, I decided it was time for me to clear my head. Picking up my car keys, I headed to the slum. I still had friends there and I just needed to speak to someone who could understand my plight. Since I left the slums, I have not had a single contact with anyone. I was grown so none of them could recognize me. I came here looking for someone who could help me.Walking to the pub, I felt awkward. I was already in money and this place looked so disgusting. I just wanted to get what I wanted and leave.“Mabel!” I heard a familiar voice. I stiffened because I had thought no one would recognize me. I turned slowly to see who called me. Looking at the person standing before me, she looked very familiar.She was in an old big dress and her small face was lo
Violet’s POVWaking up knowing your best friend is dead feels like a whole part of you has been taken and you just feel numb and in denial.I've spent the last forty two hours convincing myself that a miracle would happen and Clara would come back to us, smiling and hugging me again.My entire world shattered the day Rachel put a bullet into Clara’s chest, hitting her far too close to her heart, no chance of survival, what the doctor said and it’s been replaying in my head for hours.The agony in my chest feels like a thousand knives, each one deeper and more excruciating than the last every breath I take is a cruel reminder that she no longer takes any at all and it was all my fault.Her absence is a gaping wound that nothing can heal. The memories, once a source of joy, now feel like a cruel joke played by time. I remember the warmth of her smile, the sparkle in her eyes, and the way her laughter could light up even the darkest of days especially when I’d come to her about Jason .
Jason 's POVI was on edge. Violet had been kidnapped for the third time. I don't even know when those people would stop.I already had a team working on finding her location while I tried to calm the fuck down, which isn’t working out for me.Pacing around, I finally got informed that they had found her location. When it came to my wife, my rational thinking was considered non-existent and I quickly rushed over to the location.I went into the small building which looked like a closed down bakery on the outside but was very different on the inside.I went in alone and followed the sounds of people talking in the distance.My feet led me into a room with not so much lighting but I could see two figures standing opposite the door.Camille and Rachel . I fucking knew it.They noticed I had arrived “Ah Jason welcome, we’ve been waiting for you y’know? Took you long enough.” He said while relaxing his elbows on a table nearby.I quickly observed the room and noticed a small door in som
Rachel 's POV“Why would you do something as insensible as this?!” Camille asked the boys who helped us kidnap Violet and her best friend, who was also my ex boyfriend's sister.“When the task was given to you, I asked of only Violet . Not anyone else. Can't you all do a clean job?” Camille continued his scolding. The boys shuddered in fear, honestly I didn't know why Camille was behaving this way. His reaction was annoying, I was happy to get Violet. Clara was a bonus, that bitch never liked me even when I was dating her brother. “They were together boss, it would be unprofessional on our path to take only one of them sir. The other one would have raised an alarm immediately and it wouldn't be this outcome sir.” one of the boys which I assumed to be the leader said. “Bullshit!” Camille retorted angrily. “Calm down Cam, their reasons are factual. Besides this is a bonus for us, Clara was always an obstacle on my part.” I said to him.Not that I forgot the escapades between Camil
Violet 's POVI sat among everyone deciding whether I was ready to do this. I felt my hands sweaty from being too anxious and I had to take deep breaths to calm myself down.This was one of the things I hated, I didn’t like to address people. This was one of the reasons why this position was not right for me. I can barely speak in the presence of a lot of people, it was not just my thing.I knew Charles was very capable. He was outspoken and capable. Besides this was what he had always wanted. “Good morning ma'am,” they greeted as they all walked in. I wasn’t used to this but I tried, I liked to be free. I wanted to be free. Maybe I could tell them not to address me as ma’am.“Good morning everyone. As you must know I am the heir of the Shakesmen property.” I said, introducing myself.I never imagined myself to be in this position a few years back. I had always thought I was going to continue living my normal life. Though it pained me that I could not live with my family. I did not
Violet 's POVJason had just gotten back from work and I welcomed him. He looked hungry. I reached out to kiss him and what he did next shocked me. His right hand, firmly gripped on my hips this time, he pulled me closer as he sucked on my neck area. Using his left hand, he shut the door behind us and locked it rapidly. "Jason ," I called slowly as what he was doing to me was really messing my head up."I miss us baby," he groaned.This time as I was pinned by the wall, he devoured my upper lips and then my lower lips. He did this interchangeably. Soon as I was filled with pleasure, I wanted more and decided to kiss him back the way I wanted.I entangled my tongue with his as I proceeded to use my hands to tease his cock area. I felt him moaning in my mouth which made me feel satisfied.After continuously sucking and devouring each other's lips, I decided to spice up the moment by going naked.I struggled to remove my shirt because he refused to free my lips from his. When he noti
Rachel 's POVI hit the steering wheel angrily!“F**k! This shouldn't have happened.” I muttered to myself. Despite all my tries, it seems Violet just always slips off at the time of death. I was only smart enough this time to have escaped, else I would have also been arrested. The only mistake Violet was making was thinking I was going to back down. I would never back down, I have to kill that wench!Right now I was on the lookout, I had to be careful else I will end up behind bars. The only person that could help me was someone with affluence and power. My parents would never agree to help me. In fact my father, when he heard that I was involved in the case again, had decided to disown me. My mother was mad at me but she was still considerate unlike my father. All these was no one else's fault aside from that bi*ch called Violet. I won't relent until I see her buried six feet to the ground.I also hated Jason with passion. After all I've done for him, he still chose to betray
Jason 's POVViolet walked towards my direction with a smile. The smile that makes my heart flutter whenever I see it. There was just this thing that she does to me, I couldn't explain it. There was a party organized for Violet 's welcome back. Few of the Hughes family were there. They were people we don't even know but they were kind enough and happy to receive Violet .Kaitlyn and her family were still in jail awaiting the court's order. Evidence had already shown that they were guilty of all crime charges. Now no one was going to bother my woman anymore.“Congratulations my love or should I say CEO.” I said, giving her a quick kiss. "I just hope you won't leave me now that it happened that you are far wealthier than me?" I asked playfully “Don't be silly, besides I told you I don't want to be the CEO,” she said.I stared at her with a frown, why would she not want to?“You know that I would stand by you whenever you need help, you don't have to be bothered about it.” I said to
Jason 's POV“Who are you?” someone in the board meeting asked. We had arrived earlier but we had to wait for the right time to strike. I had spoken to Violet a day before and told her all of our plans. Though, I wasn’t going to involve her too much with talking. I had made those plans ahead, I made sure they weren’t going to have to question her right. This was the least she deserved after suffering for years. Those evil doers had stripped her off her right. They didn’t allow her to enjoy her time with her family and now they also didn’t want her to enjoy her wealth. I wasn’t going to allow that Everyone's eyes were on us as we made our presence in the room.I knew they weren’t expecting us. In fact, they had forgotten about us when they got the documents. Their focus changed and that was exactly what we wanted. If their focus still remained on us, it wouldn’t have been easy to get some of the evidence we got today. “We are here to introduce the real heir of this company to you
Narrator's POV Violet and Jason had started receiving threats from unknown numbers about the whole issue. At first Violet was scared but Jason had told her not to be. They increased their security system and kept the evidence in a safe place. They were still pondering on what to do but Jason had gone to see Hughes' private lawyer and told him about the case. They had agreed to keep everything low for now and strike when the evil doers were not expecting it. Rachel on the other hand has agreed to work with Summer and Kaitlyn . She had craved for revenge and there couldn't be any better opportunity than this. Rachel didn't even bother to think things through, all she wanted was for Violet to be dead. Her life had turned miserable all thanks to that bitch and this was her final chance for revenge. She agreed immediately and they all devised a plan to get into Jason ’s house. Rachel knew Violet was gullible enough to accept her pleas if she begged so she went to Jason ’s
