JASON STOKES
I angrily pulled up in front of my parents house and went in with the madness that had descended on me since I've knew that Dad was the one to be blamed for Lexi's disappearance.
"Sweetie!" My mom said as soon as she saw me but I ignored her and headed to dad's office instead where I knew he was going to be
"Jason what is wrong?" Mom asked
"Mom stay out of this" I barked and entered dad's office
"Jason" dad called calmly and smiled "it's nice to finally see you in person"
"Where is Lexi?" I asked him as calm as I could be in that situation
"What are you talking about? Who is Lexi?"
I closed my eyes and inhaled in air heavily to calm myself down more
"Dad, we both know who I'm talking about, so, stop playing dumb and tell me where she is"
"That bitch couldn't
Jason StokesTWO MONTHS LATER"Mr Stokes! Mr Stokes" Jada called while tapping me"Huh""Good morning. The meeting wil be starting in one and the half hours""And?""And you've to be in the office earlier to sign some crucial documents related to the meeting"I sluggishly got out of bed and mistakenly kicked a bottle of an half drank beer. That have been my routine lately"Again" Jada snapped"I'm sorry" I said on my way to the restroomWe got to the garage and I staggered to where Lexi's car was"I would have given you the world if that was what you wanted" I thought before staggering back to my car"Are you sure you can drive?" Jada asked me"I get this" I replied----------
JASON STOKESI still couldn't believe what Carl told me on the phone as I was speeding to the address he texted me."Lexi was pregnant" I thought "so, she was living a romantic life while I on the other hand was living a platonic one"I packed my car at the junction and started trekking to the address since a car couldn't go in and that make me started wondering why Lexi would leave me for a guy that was living in a slum.After trekking for good fifteen minutes, I finally got to the address. I checked my wristwatch and the time was 11:16pm.I stood in front of the door for few minutes, took a very long breath and readied myself for whatsoever might be waiting for me.After knocking on the door, I waited for some minutes before I finally heard some footstep
The Jason that I met last night was different from the Jason that was driving me back to the city. This Jason was cold and the distance between us could be felt even though we were sitting side by side in the car. I turned on the radio to feel the presence of human but Jason turned it off without saying a word, or taking his eyes off the road. So, I opened the window instead and closed my eyes as the morning breeze blew into the car.We've been on the road for the past three hours and I was already starving but I didn't know how to bring it up since Jason wasn't in a good mood"We should eat something before we continue our journey" Jason said fifteen minutes later when we came across a restaurant and I got out of the car without saying a word because I was scared of saying the wrong word.I ordered breakfast burrito while Jason ordered bacon, egg and cheese sandwich.We got back to the car twenty minutes later and the silence once again descended a
Jason dropped me off at my sister's house as early as five on Tuesday morning and I could already feel my sister's pain before entering the house.I knocked on the door for almost five minutes before I finally heard her footsteps. She opened the door and I could tell that she just woke up because of how red her eyes were.She stared at me for sometime and rubbed her face twice before calling my name quietly "Lexi"Her voiced cracked and she aged ten years more"Lexi, is that you?""Yes" I replied"My Lexi? Are you my Lexi?""Yes, sis. It's me""My Lexi" she cried and hugged me "My Lexi" she cried louder"Sis""Why Lexi? Why?" She said between tears"I'm sorry""You left without even thinking of me""I'm sorry"She released me from her tight hug and started checking me out as if something might be missing"The real?""Yes, the real""But you're fatter""
"Babe, your phone is ringing" Jason said in my head"Give it to me"He gave me the phone and I received the call without checking the caller"Hello, who is this?" I said sleepily"IT'S YOUR FORGOTTEN BEST FRIEND" Cynthia voice blasted through the speaker and that actually woke me up"Oh! Cynthia! What's up?" I asked as I was trying to get into a sitting position"OH! CYNTHIA WHAT'S UP? cynythia mimicked "IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY AFTER RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME?""I'm sorry Cynthia""You must meet me this afternoon whether you like it or not and you better have a good excuse planned or else, consider two of your teeth broken""Are you that furious with me?""I'm super furious with you. Do you know what your hot CEO passed through because you left him, or how broken down your sister was? You couldn't even confided in me before you pulled that stupid action and you expect me not to be furious"
On Saturday morning, I woke up due to some noises that were coming from the sitting room, and I reluctantly got out of bed, put on my clothes and went out of the room to check out what was going on.I stopped at the entrance of the sitting room to eavesdrop on their conversation to know whether I could go in or not and I decided not to go in when I realized who they were"So, you're going for the seminar?" Jason's dad asked him"Yeah, I will be going" Jason replied"And I'm really happy that you're back to yourself" his mom added"Yeah, I'm back to myself, because of her""Who?" His father asked curiouslyI started tip toeing back to the room when Jason's voice stopped me"Come out, I know you're there" he saidI squeezed up my face and I was wondering if I should answer him or ignore him when he called my name"Lexi""Yes" I answered and came out of my hiding place"Come here" Jason said
JASON STOKESI couldn't move from where I was when I saw the blood, I just sat down there on the floor, looking between her legs with only one statement ringing in my head"JASON, YOU DIDN'T PROTECT HER! JASON YOU DIDN'T PROTECT HER!...""Jason" she cried "do something"I tried to get up but I couldn't, the blood was much but thankfully, my phone was with me, so I called Tanner"Sir""Get the car ready and come up instantly"We helped her into the car and I sat at the backseat with her while Tanner droveI called my family doctor on our way to the hospital, who picked up instantly"Mr Stokes" he said"Get your people ready" I cried into the phone "I think she is... losing the ba
"Jason" I called "We need to talk""Give me five minutes""Like we need to talk now!"He dropped the file he was going through and looked straight into my eyes"Babe, what is wrong?" He asked worriedly"Mama is dead""Mama? Mama? I don't get it""Mama, my sister's dog. The one I told you about""Oh! I'm sorry""That's not the problem""What's the problem babe?""He was stabbed and a message was written on him. It was the exact statement the lady I told you about said to me""You mean the lady at the club?""Exactly. She told me she isn't going to be nice with me the next time we meet and that was what was written on Mama"He got out of his seat and came to where I was standing"Nothing will happen to you as long as you are with me and don't worry about her, I'm going to find her and bring her to you myself"Jason tripled the security guards that same day and the CCTV camer
Carmella Hart"Let me tell you something you won't believe" Lexi Ryan said with a sly smile "I and Casper fucked this morning while you're here""I know that is a lie""Of course you won't believe it. I already said you won't believe it" she shrugged "He fucked me inside that room I was given. He was so good. He was screaming the whole time" she whispered aloud"I know that Casper will never cheat on me"Lexi scoffed"And who do you think you're to him?""I'm his wife and the mother of his daughter. I'm not competing with you when it comes to Casper. I know that I am his number one priority""Keep bluffing""We both know that I'm not""KEEP BLUFFING!" she screamed and started hitting me "JUST KEEP BLUFFING! I'VE KNEW CASPER SINCE DIAPERS! I'M MEANT FOR HIM! I'M HIS WIFE!"About two minutes later, she stopped hitting me and said "I don't have more time to waste on a dead body"She opened her purse and brought out a short gun
Carmella HartI heard the sound of approaching high heels and I adjusted my sitting position. My mind was beating a million times per microseconds but I still tried to put on an hard face even though I was shaking insideFinally, the door opened and the person in the high heels stepped inside the room. The next second, the light bulb was turned on and when I saw the person that was standing in the middle of the room, my heart beat stopped racing and I said "How did you guys find me?""Carmmy Carmmy Carmella" Lexi Ryan sang "Urrrhggg, you look really pale""Come and help me out of this handcuff""I don't think that is a good idea" she said and smiled while rolling her eyes "I think you're cuter with the handcuff on""Lexi what are you doing?"She sat at the foot of the bed and looked at me hatefully"You still don't understand what is going on? You're a dummy""Lexi don't be like this""You should have stayed away from my man""Y
Lexi StokesJason tapped me and said "Your phone is ringing""Okay"I checked the caller, it was Cynthia"Hey Lexi" Cynthia said enthusiastically"Hey" I replied soberly"Will you be free tonight? Stud is planning to meet someone tonight in the city and I'm coming with him""Stud?" I asked with a frown"Oh, I meant Cheetah""Okay""So, are you free tonight?""No" I replied and sighed"Lexi are you okay?" Cynthia asked worriedly"No" I replied truthfully"What is wrong"I looked at Jason, he was listening attentively to our conversation, so, I got up and walked to the bedroom"The man I showed you this morning" I said after closing the door"Yes" Cynthia replied worriedly "Did something happened to him?""No but something happened to his wife""His wife? He is married?""He is married. This morning his wife was abducted""What!?""We were together and she walked out saying sh
Casper HartFive hours laterLike a joke, Carmmy's shopping had turned out into something else because her phone was found few blocks away from the mallI sighed heavily and looked at dad and Jason that were discussing the mystery some meters away from me"Casper, be calm she will soon be back" Lexi Ryan reassured me for the hundredth time"She won't. Don't tell me 'she will'. It's obvious she has been abducted""Casper""She is my everything" I said as tears rolled down my cheeks "and I don't have any idea what is going on with her right now""I'm sure she is okay""JUST STOP LEXI! JUST FUCKING STOP! IT'S NOT WORKING""I'm sorry" she said and left me to my pain"Mr Casper" the commissioner of police calledI raised up my head and looked at the commissioner of police. Dad had told him about I and Jason since the beginning of the search"Come with me"I got up and followed him to his office"Can you think of a
Casper HartFor the past two hours, Jason had been talking to me about some important things that I had to take note of as a Manager of one of the Stokes enterprise branches."As a manager..." He trailed off when my phone rang"Sorry""It's okay. Pick it"I checked the caller, it was Lexi. Lexi Ryan"I will soon be back" I said to Jason before heading to Lexi's room. I knocked twice but when there came no reply, I opened the door."Lexi what is wrong with you?" I said concernly and rushed toward her. She was shivering on her bed"Close...the...door" she said slowly"What is wrong with you!?""Cold...close...the...door""You need to see a doctor" I said as I was walking back to the door in order to close it"I know" she shivered "but for now...I don't want to"I walked back to the bed and sat down on it"You aren't looking good. You need to see a doctor" I said worriedly"Stay...next to me...and I will be...go
Lexi StokesOne week laterToday was Friday and we were still with Jason's parents because his mother wanted to spend sometime with all of us. The whole world was still clueless about what was going on and the news about Jason and his illegitimate daughter had been all over the world but everything was going to change before noon on MondayI moved closer to Jason who was deep asleep by my side and kissed him gently on his temple.I picked my phone and sent Cynthia a picture of Jason and Casper because I didn't want it to be news to her.'I don't understand the picture' she texted me back immediately 'The guy on the left is Casper, Jason's twin brother' I texted herMy phone rang immediately and I picked it up"OH MY GOD!" Cynthia screamed inside the receiver "YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!"I slowly got out of the bed and went inside the restroom because I didn't want to wake Jason up with our conversation"Cynthia, I'm not" I
Jason StokesCarmella was pacing up and down the sitting room while Lexi Ryan was going through her phone. She wasn't really bothered about what was happening.I got out of my seat when I heard the sound of a car."They are here" I said quietlyCarmella hugged herself tightly and sighed heavily, she was anxious. I walked to her and patted her slightly. "Everything is under control""I hope so" she sighedI went to the window and saw dad walking angrily to the door with mom who was running after him"Let's listen to what he have to say" mom said to him anxiously"No!" Dad barked while not stopping "Not this time around! He went over the boundary""But our granddaughter is involve""Stokes enterprise is at risk too!""Adrian!""ARIANA!" Dad barked and stopped walking instantly. He turned around and looked into mom's eyes, he wasn't having it this time around. "Ariana don't provoke me"Mom became speechless. Dad turned ar
Jason StokesWe entered the hotel through the second gate and headed straight to the special hall where the birthday party live video was being played."This way sir" the hotel manager said and we followed him. He already knew about me and Casper, so, he wasn't shocked when he saw meLexi Ryan walked past me when we entered the hall and winked at the manager who instantly looked away from her. She blew her chewing gum and said "Cool hall" while snaking her long nails in the air"Thanks ma'am" the manager saidWe took our seats and started watching the live video of our multi million birthday party"Daddy" Carolyn babbled, got down from her seat and started walking to where I was."Hey Lyn" I said to her, picked her up and sat her down on my lap "You haven't wish me happy birthday yet"She babbled something and I assumed that it was her way of telling me happy birthday"Thanks dear"Carmella who was seated close to me started whimperi
Jason StokesOne week laterI was in the closet, dressing up for our birthday party that was going to commence in few hours time when Lexi walked inside the closet with a long, sleeveless, golden gown. She was extremely stunning. She smiled at me while making eye contact with me and I couldn't help smiling back."I'm proud of you as my husband" she said while adjusting my tie and I smiled widerAfter adjusting my tie, she got hold of my wrist and put a bracelet around it"What is this for?" I asked while examining the golden bracelet on my wrist"You and Casper are going out in exactly the same suit tonight with the same wedding ring, I don't want to go to bed with another man""Hmmmm"She smiled "you're too handsome""And you're too beautiful" I put my hands on the sides of her head and slowly kissed her. She moved closer to me but I stopped her before our kissing could lead to something else"They are waiting for us" I
