He placed her on the bed, her eyes still buried on his face.
"Is there something wrong with you?"
She asked him, flinching her eyes and gulping her saliva.
But he looked at her and smiled "Nothing is wrong Kitty, I'm just taken by surprised. I was shocked by the state I found you. I can't believe grandma."
"Yeah me too. She killed your parents!" She savaged her lower lip with her teeth.
"Yes she did." Jason breath a sigh of relieve.
"Are you not bothered she is here with us? I'm really frightened" She said to him hoping he would do something about it. But after it seemed like he thought about it for a while, he fixed his gaze on her.
"I rather have her around me than away from me. When she isn't here, then I don't know what she is up to. You understand?" He asked her with his brows raised.
"I understand, but aren't you scared? Doesn't it m
He tried to control the rage within him. He was so angry that he couldn't even fake a smile to assure her everything would be okay. The fear in her eyes when she reminded him his grandma killed his parents, made him uneasy."What if she starts blabbing about going to Cambonian."She looked really scared. Not just in her words but also her body. After telling her he needs her to always stay beside him. He noticed she was rubbing her hands on her neck like it was still hurting. He then leaned closer to her and placed a pillow on top another, placing the later right behind her so she could rest her head. When he noticed the pillow on the bed wasn't lying flat on the bed, he dipped his hand in to check what was there. He noticed it was his gun he always kept beside him whenever he were sleeping.He pushed the gun aside and placed the pillow on top of the other properly. Just then, he smelled the sweet smell of her skin and ins
"Capo" Luca's voice erupts him from his reverie. He looked at Luca with a sly smile on his face. How could it be that Carlos was dead, and his grandmother killing him, was even better-he thought. "Let's go." He said to Luca and they both walked to the garden. When they was approaching the place he left Carlo's body, from few steps away, he saw his grandmother. "Grandma" Jason frowned and rushed there. On getting there, he was shocked to see that Carlos body was no longer there. "Where is he?" He growled at his grandmother. "Where is he?" He yelled at her. "I don't know. I should be asking you Jason, where is Carlos?" She asked him. "Why are you asking me that, weren't you that stabbed him abd left him here? Where is he?" He yelled again. "You are right. When I saw the blood on your shirt I knew you must have seen him, now tel
The more he looked at her the more he wondered in his heart. He furrowed his brows at her, and didn't broke his gaze for even a minute.'If she only kills with a gun, then who stabbed his parents to death.' Jason could not believe his ears. He had confronted his grandmother before and she in doubt denied his claims."She must be playing games with me." His voice said in his head but he couldn't just ignore."Capo, capo." He could hear Luca's faint voice calling out to him but he didn't respond. He wanted to figure out the puzzle he had come to find himself in. How dare his grandma put him in such a dilemma."Capo" Luca yelled in his ears almost making him deaf."I heard you earlier moron." He insulted him."I'm sorry sir, you didn't seem like you heard me earlier." Luca gulp his saliva and pointed at the screen."What is it?" Jason asked stealing g
Kitty noticed Jason's hand was moving, like he was trying to slip his hands away from her. She pretended to be asleep and let him had his way, and when he walked out she opened her eyes. She sighed as she sat on the bed, wondering what Jason was up to. After a while of waiting thinking he might have head to the kitchen to get water, she stood on her feet and walked towards the door. "I wonder what he is up to." She muttered and sighed as she opened the door slowly. She walked on bare foot towards the stairs and head noises, it was Luca and Jason but she didn't quite understood what they were talking about. When she heard them shut the door, she rushed downstairs and quietly opened the door, she saw the guards outside and Madamme Rosa. "What are they doing?" She wondered abd rushed upstairs, wishing to get a clearer view of the whole situation. She opened the terrace door and stood on the terrace, lookin
She noticed someone walked inside the room but she tried not to shake. When the person walked closer to her, she perceived the familiar scent. It was Jason's perfume, she was so used to everything about him. When he sat beside her and covered her up she still beat herself up about what they were doing outside earlier and why did it took him long to come to the room after seeing her. When he suddenly removed the bedcover from her Kitty tried not to move. "What's wrong with him?" She kept thinking. She had left the terrace door opened and the cold breeze from outside almost froze her. She noticed he was mute, abd didn't even say a word. He stood right beside her, like a statue. She tried to not let him know she was awake, she was shivering. Slowly she folded herself and tried not to gnash her teeth. She was breathing heavily silently, gulping saliva by the minute "What's wrong with him" She thought again but the
"Kitty, thanks for coming." Carlos looked excited that Kitty came. He was sure he would definitely be able to reconcile with her. "What happened to you?" Kitty was surprised as she slammed the door and walked in. There was drip fixed on him, and wires connected to his head. He had bandages on his waistline and one of his leg was hung up and bandage. "Did you had an accident?" Kitty asked as she couldn't think of anything else that that would make him look like that. "You think? Someone did this to me Kitty." Carlos erupted into tears. His words made Kitty perplexed. She couldn't believe that such damage could be done by someone. "What are you saying? Did you borrow money from loan shark?" She asked him in a low tone. "Of course not." Carlos immediately rejected but kitty wasn't convinced. "I'm aware you have some gambling issues,it didn't st
She stood there confused. She felt as though her heart had come to a clunking stop. Her bag she hurled around her shoulder dropped on the ground, and tears were falling from her eyes like a cascade. Every moment of their first meeting flashing in her eyes. His pleasant smile, his low sweet tone, the way he swung her around in the church and covered her up during the shooting.That charming man she felt drawn to, that man that came to her aid when she needed someone, the one that took away the shame Tom brought in her, was also going to use her.But then, they were strangers, in as much as she thought he helped her, it was also she using him she thought. Since they were strangers, he probably wouldn't just allow himself to marry just anyone.In split minutes, she wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled at Carlos. Even though she was heart broken, she tried as much to compose herself"Nothing to worry about, it's the past right? H
He sat on the couch and watched her till he fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning, he couldn't stand the sight of her. He had his bath and dressed up, as he was about to leave he remembered how stubborn Kitty were, and knew she might leave the house. He decided to write a note for her and kept it on the lambstand beside the bed. He rushed out and closed the door quietly."Good morning Sir." Luca's voice scare him from behind as he was lost in his thoughts."Good morning Luca." Jason started walking towards the stairs. Luca knew from his demeanor that he must be upset. He walked slowly beside Jason and collected his suitcase from him."Any news on Carlos?" Jason asked as he opened the door to outside of the mansion."Not yet sir." Luca responded."We've checked everywhere but can't find him sir.""There is somewhere you haven't checked." Jason open

"Kitty said you surprised her with Mira's arrival, so she wanted to do the same to you, " Aunt Silvia said to Jason. "Well, it is indeed a wonderful surprise and fit for the occasion." Jason smiled. "What occasion?" Kitty asked wondering what Jason meant. Her gaze drifted from Jason to Mira thinking that they were up to mischief, but to her surprise, Mira had no idea of what Jason was talking about. "Why don't we have dinner together, as a family, I will get grandma." Jason walked out straight to Madamme Rosa's room. When he got there he meant the caregiver combing her hair, Jason sent Charity away and took the comb from her. "I know a lot has happened, and it's too bad we got here. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me, I'm finding it hard to forgive you, every day I pray, hoping that one day I will awake and hold no grudge against you, but those prayers haven't been answered."
It's been a month since Lucia's death. Jason buried her right next to his parents. Every day he would visit and place a flower on her grave and that of her parents as well. Most times Kitty followed him, but sometimes he felt like going alone and never pestered her. He was bemoaning, he never left the house except to the grave. He would lock himself up in his study every night and inundate himself in bottles of whiskey, in the morning he always had a hangover but lied to Kitty that he was sick. Luca kept on rescheduling his meeting with the board members at the Alfredo's but Jason missed every one of them.He was shattered, yet he pretended to be okay. ... The night wind was extremely cold that evening, Jason had just finished having dinner with his family. Like his normal routine for a month now, he went from the dining and locked himself up in his study. He opened the fridge in his study and found only one bottle of whiskey le
From the look in his eyes, she realized that he must be dying of regret. She couldn't stop him from leaving. She waited for him to come back but he was taking forever.She was pacing around in the living room anxiously, she prayed for Lucia to be unharmed. When it was late, she tried to call him. But then Luca answered his phone.Kitty asked him about Jason and he told her what had happened. Words left her lips, she didn't know what else to say. She knew that he definitely would not easily recover from such loss. After the call, she waited around in the living room, waiting for him to come.It was already past 9 pm and yet he was still out. She was dizzy but yet couldn't sleep. Her heart was unsettled.She thought to check on Mira to make sure she was alright. As soon as she walked inside Mira's room she switched on the lights."Kitty is that you?" Mira sat on her bed."Hey, don't do that laydown." Kitty rushed to the
Jason walked out of the room down to his study. He emptied a bottle of whiskey. Then it crossed his mind that his grandmother was still locked up. He rushed to his room to get the keys from the pants he wore earlier.When he entered the room, it was stuffy. He found his grandmother all dressed up with makeup on. He wondered why she had worn makeup. Jason scoffed as he walked closer to her."Why would an old wan wear makeup?" He mocked her.Madamme Rosa ignored him as though he wanted there. She was placing her earrings on her ears, when she was done she looked at Jason who was standing by her mirror."How do I look?" She asked Jason."Ugly." He scoffed at her. "No makeup will be good enough to cover your wicked heart. Kitty an unborn baby, and your son, and you think that by wearing makeup you would be able to hide that darkness inside of you?" Jason walked closer to her."Maybe not. If I were as wicked as you say, why didn't I
Jason couldn't believe what was happening, he kept screaming and wanted to go into the fire. But he was held back by the police there. He fell to his knees wailing bitterly. All that was in his head was Lucia's voice promising him that she was going to be at the mansion that morning. He wished he had realized she wouldn't be coming, he wished he didn't allow her to leave him at the hotel.Regrets were all that engulfed him. He wanted to turn back the hands of time, for one last chance to treat her better. But it was impossible, and that made him even more depressed. He kept beating his chest severally. On his knees, he remained there, with his head bent on the ground.The police were shocked at the sight, even the bodyguards that escaped the fire as well as the employees, no one knew that Jason was Lucia's brother.With the hope to figure out why he was affected, one of the police officers decided to approach Jason. But Jason pushed him to the
"You still have the guts to tell at me, better start respecting yourself or your favorite daughter will go boom" Lucia pressed on the lighter to lite and placed it close to Camilla's hair."Now behave, you have to be a good boy Daddy." Lucia laughed.I Alfredo was glaring at her, wishing he could just slap her and kill her himself."After everything I did for you, you have the guts to pour gasoline on my daughter. You are an animal." He yelled at her."After everything you've done for me?" Lucia raised her brows in shock, and paddled slowly towards him "What exactly did you do for me, Alfredo?" She yelled at him."Was it the constant hitting? or being yelled at? What exactly have you done for me? Because I remember nothing, absolutely nothing, that's how horrific my childhood was because of you." She slapped Mr. Alfredo."What did you expect from me, a fatherly love, when you were a child I never fathered, and from a monster of a family, you don
BEFORE THE FIRE AT THE ALFREDO'S MANSION 16 HOURS AGO Lucia wasn't certain how she would escape, but all she wanted was for Kitty and Jason to be able to leave the hotel without any harm. After finding out Jason was indeed her brother, she was frustrated but then, she felt somewhat lucky. Since staying at the hotel, Lucia was busy going through every photo she has of Jason, she found it interesting that he was indeed her brother. She wished she knew earlier, and despite the feud between their families, she and Jason never really had any personal fights until Kitty came along. ... At the hotel, after Kitty killed Carlos, Lucia took it upon herself to distract her father's men so Kitty and Jason could flee. When she got to the lobby, she was surrounded by fifty of her father's men. She surrendered and so did Philip. They apprehended her and handcuffed her in one of the vans they came with, both her and Philip. "Take her to th
When he walked inside the ICU, he saw that Mira was already awake. It had been such a long day. He had dark circles around his eyes. "You are awake." Jason walked up to Mira. "Yes, I am. Kitty is so worried, why did you leave her here alone?" Mira questioned Jason. "I went out for work. I couldn't delay it." He sat close to Kitty and whispered in her ears"Why make her worried about you?" "Shut up," Kitty whispered back. They joked and laughed. Jason ordered breakfast as it was already past 6 am. After eating, Kitty told Jason that it will be best they take Mira home and a doctor to tend to her. Jason understood pretty well, that Kitty still felt threatened by Alfredo and didn't know when they see will attack. Jason hired a doctor from the same hospital Mira was receiving treatment from. They discharge Mira and they all went back home. She was laid on the bed and the equipment needed for her treatment like the oxygen just in c
