He was beating himself so hard he didn't know why he stopped, he kept gulping water until he emptied the jar. It wasn't filled up to the brim anyway.
He walked to the terrace, and right opposite was a garden with a small pool. It was still raining, so Jason just stood right at the terrace. When the lightening struck he could swear he saw something or perhaps someone. He squinted his eyes as he stared deeper into the dark, and there came the lightening again, and yes, it was someone, with the figure of a man.
Jason slowly opened the door and as he was about to step out, Kitty's voice stopped him
"Have you found the milk?" She questioned raising her brows.
He turned to look at her and forgot his lips opened, he was distracted and all that came out form his lips were murmurs. As he looked back into the garden he could no longer find the person, he looked around the kitchen in search for a to
Sitting on the chair she was devastated, she couldn't stop blaming herself for letting him go, but then again it was the best she thought. She sighed and stood up, shutting the window and spreading the curtains from the intensed storm. Then she head straight to the kitchen wondering what he was still doing. As she walked towards the Kitchen, she paused while holding the door knob. She let go for a second as she panted her chest. She couldn't stop herself from breathing heavily, she could swear that she might not be able to hold herself if he ever comes too close to her again. She gulp her saliva then sighed, severally she did same routine. "Okay, kitty, stop it and fuckily open this door." her voice in her head screamed at herself. When she opened the door, she couldn't find him close to the fridge, her eyes squinted around and she found him at the terrace. Without thinking about wha
From the way she stood there looking at him Jason could tell she was suspicious of him. He totally forgot the wound kitty had seen. Her voracious gaze was piercing into his heart like a crimson tide. He was terrified, for the first time, and that he didn't know why.He had been hiding himself, he wasn't going to let one small mistake mess with all his plans. So he lied"I got shot twice for you."A lie had never hurt that badly, what was he thinking, he wasn't a man that told lies. He had everything at his finger tips and who would he possibly want to lie to. But there he found himself lying and why? He wanted to believe it was because he needed her, but it was deeper, yes, it felt deeper than that.He was starting to feel very connected to her, like his heart was merging with hers, and every look she gave him was as important as his breath, if she smiles, it would calm his heart.
"Unbelievable" The voice in her head screamed. How would he take two bullets at a go for her. Kitty was perplexed, looking at Jason and the way he confidently told her he took two shots for her, made her thought that it was a lie.There must be something else, maybe not."Just stranger's, we are just stranger's he can't do that for me, not in this lifetime. you mean to tell me he is in love with me? oh please" She kept mocking herself in her head.The silence between them was as if it wasn't going to come off soon. When he broke it in a bid to make her believe him, kitty still was speechless. She resisted from saying anything else, she didn't wanted to annoy him, or make him know the crazy thoughts she was having."Have you heard anything about the little girl?" She asked, still suspicious of him. His explanation was too sweet to be true, she wouldn't take two bullets for a stranger, so she didn'
"Does she know? is she pretending?" Jason couldn't help it, the milk had spilled on him but he was less concerned. Her speech to him felt like she was totally sure he had something to do with the child's fall. Even if it was true, what right did she had to judge, he didn't push her?He tried to justify his actions as he stood there glaring at her, he somehow wanted to explain, but what explanation could he possibly give that wouldn't give his identity away? He wasn't planning on letting her into his style of life, but deep down he knew, that if he succeeds in taking her home, then surely she would come to light about his world and that scared him.He clenched his fist as the thought clouded his mind, her pretty innocent looking face surely wouldn't fit into his world, as he couldn't stop thinking he vowed in his heart to hide his horrible side from her from as long as he lives.Her scream erupted him from h
'Relax, did he actually said relax' Kitty tried to hide the pleasant smile on her cheeks. She was so excited as she thought she wasn't the only one beginning to get attached to him. Her whole world felt colorful just then, as she stood there staring at him. What could possibly go wrong? Her eyes trailed his body, she was pleased, she had never dared dreamt of a guy like him becoming hers. She wouldn't say it was a dream come true, she knew she was way over her head. Jist then a thought crossed her mind, what if.. what if there was something else to it. 'It isn't as if a guy can fall in love in a day? Love' She chuckled. 'Of course not' the voice in her head screamed again. Who would fall for a complete stranger in less than twenty four hours. Oh yeah that's right, her. She sighed as she stole glances at him. The response she gave him about being uncomfortable was a complete lie. She was definitely uncom
He couldn't say anything and all explanation he was trying to give didn't match, he found himself stammering. Looking at her and her angry eyes made him trembled in fear. He clenched his fist and was sucking his lips. He wanted to explain but of course he couldn't.When she started walking towards him, he was frightened, he didn't wanted her to do what would piss him off. For her sake, he kept taking same step she took towards him backwards. His eyes trailed her body, he saw her her hands curled in fist, and her eyes almost poked out from her face.He kept wobbling his head, suddenly he stopped. The was she was staring at him made his heart break, and every time she flinched he flinched as well. When she got closer to him he could hear and feel her heavy breath on his skin.Then suddenly he felt her hand strike his face. He bend his head moving to the direction she slapped him. 'Fuck!' she didn't just do that
Like a cat in the night Jason's eyes were trailing round the garden, he could see everything clearly. He wasn't restless neither was he tensed. He was as calm like the river, his feet moving swiftly like the wind. His steps didn't make a sound, and when he stepped on water it sounded like the splashing sound of rain drops.He placed one knife in his pants and tightened his grip on the others. He raised his right hand up as though he was about to stab someone, he went round one of the trees, taking long steps so he wouldn't miss a thing.He sighed when he didn't see anyone or heard any steps. Suddenly he paused- 'How come there was someone here he thought? Maybe his location ones again have been exposed, but how?'Jason couldn't get his head round it and it made him agitated. Putting Mira and Kitty in danger like this made him almost go crazy. As he kept beating himself about it, he could only th
Her thoughts were running wild. Even though she asked herself a million times if staying married to Jason for the next six was a good thing-she still wouldn't be able to guess the answer.But there was one thing she was sure of, her emerging feelings for him. Like a thief he had come into her life, slowly he was stealing her heart, she didn't know how long she could hold it in. She thought it crazy, it was definitely crazy. How could she find herself falling for a man she had just met, was it a tv show or a joke.She placed her hand in her chest as she started panting. Her breath suddenly increased then it crossed her mind that Jason was yet to knock on her door.That's right, she slapped him. As she recalled she closed her mouth with her palm, she didn't know the kind of man he was, of was a molester or someone with anger issues.Ask she unlatched the door to take a look outs

"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
