Jason and Janet stared up at the sign on the outside of the building before they walked in. “I’m a little nervous.” Janet admitted. Jason laughed softly. “You are afraid of everything.” Janet frowned. “You know you’re scared too. Don’t try and act brave when you know you’re about to shit your pants just like me.” Jason chuckled again, knowing she was right. They were about to meet the voodoo princess who cursed them for life. Whether they were angry with her or not, it was terrifying to meet the boogey woman even Dan was
CHAPTER 35Dan checked his watch multiple times as the hours ticked by, making him more and more angry. It was Christmas and his kids were supposed to meet him at his house for Christmas dinner. It was his wife’s tradition they all eat together on Christmas. His fists clenched as the time passed on. He constantly called Janet and Jason’s number over and over for the past two hours. “Jason where the fuck are you? You know dinner was at six. Call me.” He hung up the phone, with a slam on the table. He stared at the cooked food on the dining table getting cold. With muc
CHAPTER 36Janet followed Jason to the only place she knew he would be in the time of crisis, their mother’s grave. He leaned down touching her tombstone. “You ok?” She asked, as she squatted beside him. Jason shook his head. “Are you?” Janet scoffed, as she hugged herself from the cold. “As fucked up as our family is, I doubt we will ever be okay.” Jason laughed softly. “Do you believe Dan? Wilson couldn’t have…” The anger rose again as his sister spoke about Wilson. The betrayer to him now and forever.
CHAPTER 37While Jason just took off for his vacation with Alyssa, Janet stayed behind to handle some unfinished business with Dan. It took several days before she could talk herself into going into his office and actually having a conversation with the man, especially since he ruined their relationship with Wilson on Christmas. Dan placed his glasses down shocked to see his daughter walking in.
CHAPTER 38 Alyssa watched Jason rise out of the beautiful clear water with his swim shorts clinging tight to him while the water shined off his beautiful toned skin. Women watched him walk to the beach to Alyssa in pure jealousy. “Miss me?” He walked up and kissed her making everyone jealous. She smiled. “You look like something straight out of Baywatch.” He grabbed the towel and wiped his face. “Ready to go back to the hotel?” She nodded drinking her virgin Bahama mama and she stood to follow him. Jason looked at her as the men stared at his woman.
CHAPTER 39Jason heard the ringtone go off on his phone as he stirred. He and Alyssa had passed out in bed after their lovemaking in the shower. He reached over to the counter wiping his eyes, looking at the number before he answered. “Janet?” “My god. Jason, where have you been? I’ve been calling you since yesterday.” Jason tried to force his brain to work as
CHAPTER 40The Sanders building felt all dark and gloomy when Jason entered with the police officers. Apart of him was happy to be back home, but another knew what the building was used for. Nightmares of Abagail being held hostage here on the tenth floor creeped him out. “I will take it from here.” Jason looked over as Officer McGee and Officer Williamson walked in with Jason’s ankle bracelet. “Officer McGee? They let you go?” Jason asked as he wrapped the bracelet around him. “I talked to my sister and she told me you weren’t the asshole I believe
CHAPTER 41Alyssa and Janet sat at the kitchen counter eating ice cream together while Jason worked out. “Thank you for the fancy pen by the way for Christmas. I didn’t know you were getting me anything.” Janet smiled “No problem. Out of all the women my brother has come across I actually like you.” Alyssa laughed. “That’s a lot of women.” Janet laughed then as Jason walked over. “Now that my annoying sister is here to stay, I apologize in advance for her intruding on our personal lives.” Janet laughed and awed as he kissed Alyssa
CHAPTER 42“The motherfucker was at her home trying to leave Abagail’s necklace on her doorstep. We need to catch whoever the fuck is doing this.” Jason said with urgency. Detective Fairchild asked for the bag with the necklace as she looked inside it with some tweezers, pulling the necklace out. “You sure this is Abagail’s necklace?” “Yes I gave it
CHAPTER 66“Come in.” Dan yelled out as Bianca walked in. “You have my info I asked for?” She just walked up and handed him a piece of paper. “I don’t know why my mother hid this from me, but this is who wanted me to curse you.” He opened the piece of paper and his eyes went wide with shock and fear. “It doesn’t matter now, he is locked away.” He replied throwing the paper away. “I can’t worry about him right now I have an opening to get ready for.”
CHAPTER 65 Kathy and Keisha partied with drinks in their hands as they danced on the dance floor while Janet sat at the bar drinking, thinking about the day she had. Dan’s bullshit had always followed them , but now she was more on his side then ever. They found out who interrupted the funeral. Melissa’s sister Julissa would now be another thorn in her side as they tried to put this business back on track. “Child you look like you could use another drank. Bartender.” Janet looked up to who was talking. A skinny man sat beside her with a feminine swag, fu
CHAPTER 64 The next night Dan walked in to see Janet at her office space in his house, working over papers. “It’s getting pretty late Janet. You alright?” She looked up, not even startled he walked in on her. She sniffed as she looked up as tears fell on her paperwork. “Yeah I’m fine.” She lied, wiping her eyes. Dan sighed, walking over to her. “Look, I know I have done some pretty shitty things in the past, but I see your determination to make things right and it has encouraged me to do the same. I want us to able to talk about anything. To be how
CHAPTER 63Janet walked up to the apartment, hands shaking and her heart in her throat. She felt overwhelmed walking up to talk to Alyssa’s family house. A part of her felt guilty for not taking care of her like she should have and she hoped they wouldn’t judge her once they heard the story. A woman opened the door looking slightly different from Alyssa, but her face was longer and she was slightly bigger. “Who are you?” She asked. Janet placed on a smile as she held her arms out for a hug to greet the woman. She hugged her, confused still as she waited for the respo
CHAPTER 62Dan walked into the hospital bloody and hurt as he walked over to Janet. She saw him and instantly ran over to him hugging him. “What happened?” She looked at his eyes, seeing the hurt in them. “Where is Jason?” Dan shook his head. “Frank killed them. Alyssa too. I tried to stop him…” Tears fell down Dan’s eyes as he played the role for her to believe. Janet’s emotions went numb and time stood still. Her brother being dead was something she wasn’t ready for. “No.” She said almost falling out until Dan caught
CHAPTER 61Jason gasped as the shot fired again, sending Wilson to the floor. Blood splattered all over the walls and in Frank’s face as Frank looked shocked as Wilson fell on the floor. “NO! Wilson you dumb bitch! See what you made me do?” He turned to Dan then. “See what you made me do?” Dan held his son a little bit closer. “Daddy why did you kill uncle Wilson?” Casey cried. “Shut up Casey and come to me now.” Frank held the gun up to Dan again. “Release my son or you will be next.” Dan released the little boy holding his
CHAPTER 60“Wilson why are you hesitating? Shoot him or untie me.” Jason yelled. “He won’t do that Jason.” Then Dan walked in holding the little boy’s hand. Frank’s eyes widened. “Casey!” “Daddy!” The little boy tried to snatch away to go to Frank but Dan held him back, holding his gun to the little boys head. “Co
CHAPTER 59Dan walked into the house late at night, scoping his surroundings while staring in the window of the mother of Daniel’s home. Something didn’t settle right inside Dan’s stomach as he entered the home through the kitchen of the opened window. He was quiet and skilled as he’d broken into many homes before in his younger years. As he walked through the quiet home with the kids off to bed, he noticed everything he could about Daniel and Elizabeth.
CHAPTER 58The fear running down Janet’s spine couldn’t ever be replicated. Antonio was now gone from the room, leaving her alone. The building was far too big for her to search by herself. Her immediate thought was her twin. She waited in the open lobby pacing back and forth until they arrived. She ran to him. “Are you okay?” Alyssa asked, as she hugged her tight. “We need to go up the stairs to the roof. That’s where I told Officer Williamson to go last night.” He began to walk quickly to the elevator as the women followed.
