As he watched the pathetic bride walking into the church of another's person's wedding, Jason couldn't resist the sight of her knees quivering. She looked like she was struggling with each step she took.
"Sir, should I go?" The driver asked.
But he was focused on the pathetic bride. Watching her gripped her wedding gown tightly, made him scoffed piteously.
"Why come here if you don't want to?" He muttered to himself.
His attention was suddenly divided when he saw a familiar face. It was the same man at the hotel. The man was holding the five year hold girl, and along side was a pretty blonde, she seemed like she was in her thirties. The man's hand was wrapped around her waist.
"What is this?" He muttered again to himself as he kept thinking that it was too much of a coincidence.
"Sorry Sir, I didn't get what you said." The driver said to him turning his head in ninety degrees as he tried to look at Jason who was seated at the back seat of the car looking suspiciously through the car's window.
"ssshh" Jason halt him from saying anything further.
He unlatched the door of the car and went out. Slamming the door he placed a set of extra bullets at the side of his pants then he covered it up with his long coat which he buttoned down.
"Now let's see what this mother fucker has come here to do." He yap as he walked towards the church slowly behind the pathetic woman who was still struggling with her feet.
His eyes followed the man as he watched him walked up the stairs and took a seat at the second floor of the church, directly opposite the alter. From whilst the man was sitting, he could portray a good view of the priest and the couple.
Jason sighed, and his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the loud noise of a rod hitting the ground. Before he grasped a hint of what was happening, his feet moved faster than his brain.
He found himself right behind the pathetic bride who was one sec away from gracing the audience with the stupidest sight ever of a bride stomping the ground at another's bride wedding.
His hands caught her and she fell on his chest. Her sudden unalarmed weight on Jason's chest felt like a blow from a WWWE wrestling champion.
"Ouch" He mourned and he shut his eyes trying to eat up the pain.
In a minute, he felt his body temperature instantly change, like a bodyweight was dumped on him, and a pleasant smell of a fragrance not known to him blessed his nostrils. When he opened his eyes he saw the pathetic bride totally leaning on him giving him a warm embrace.
"The fuck." He cried out in his heart.
An embrace never felt that good to him, or perhaps it was because he couldn't remember the last time he had one.
His life had always been a mess. Striving hard to survive and maintain his reputation wasn't something that was easy on his part. But what could he do, his life choose him. If he were to have choose the kind of life he wanted, the kind of family he would have loved to be born in-he would gladly picked a poor family and never ever try to become rich, not even an inch famous like he was now.
"Shhhsssp Sir, Sir." His driver's voice signaled him. He took a quick glance behind him and he saw his driver raising his brows at him in a travesty manner.
Only then did he realized that the pathetic bride was still leaning on him. He gripped her arms tightly and furrowed his brows. His thoughts wingle as he wondered if he was a mattress.
"Get off." He said in a low soft tone. Jason was amazed by how soft his tone were, different from the way he felt and certainly doesn't represent the look on his face.
'What's wrong with me' He thought as he sighed and helped the pathetic bride stand on her feet.
"Thanks" She whispered.
Her voice sounded like the sweet low tone mimicking voice of a background singer in a slow tone American songs popularly called r&b.
It was pleasing to his ears, and Jason wished he could hear her say it again. He shut his eyes as he savored the beautiful sound of her voice which was long said and gone.
His ears kept twitching to a long faded voice which graced it with an unusual pleasing sound. Suddenly he felt someone's tapped him on his shoulder, when he looked at the person, it was a girl who looked like she just partook in a long race.
There were beads of sweats formed on her forehead, her long straight hair was all soaky and dripping sweats, and the young woman looked distressed.
Jason's eyes couldn't miss the striking resemblance between the young woman and the pathetic bride. 'Surely, they must be related' He thought as he squinted his eyes at her, waiting for her reason for disturbing him.
"Where is she?" The young woman asked him, with no much thinking he knew it would definitely be the pathetic bride she was enquiring about.
He looked around and found the pathetic bride walking straight to the alter, then he pointed at her and glanced at the woman.
"Oh no, I don't think this is a good idea." The woman complained.
Jason looked away and his eyes drifted towards the bride.
"Not really a good idea." He muttered to himself amazed at how the pathetic bride was stomping her foot against the ground ready to cause a scene.
Suddenly he felt a bullet pierced through his skin, his eyes widened as he glutched down his saliva, trying to touch the injured area.
He slowly bent down and when his hand felt the pain, it was his left foot. He bit his lower lips. Then he opened his eyes and glared at the man upstairs.
"Bastard" He muttered looking at the man.
The man had a sly smile on his face, as he secretly and careful fixed his gun for another shooting round.
Jason tried to move away but he was still stuck in same position.
"Fuck., oh fuck" He groaned in pains as he hit his knees. His eyes travelled to the man's and he saw the man excitedly pointed his gun at him ready to pull the trigger.
JASONHis deep sea blue eyes which always portrays seductiveness and deep affection, admirable eyes that always graced his charismatic look were suddenly intruded by confusion as he stood there groaning silently in excruciating pain.Jason's confusion couldn't be masked as he kept beating himself hard on how he would escape the next bullet.The man's hand held tightly to the trigger and shot again at Jason.Jason ducked at the moment he saw the man released his hand from the trigger. He heard the silent sound of the bullet as it shot at the iron rod beside him.The man's gun had a silencer that made everyone not to notice what was happening.Jason's breath rapidly increased, as he glanced at the shooter. 'Pretty good' he thought of the shooter. The shooter seemed like a professional to him as he was able to shoot at him from such a
His heart ached when his gaze drifted towards the glass at the alter from whilst he could see the reflection of the hitter. Jason's heart started beating erratically, he knew he could escape getting shot, but the pathetic bride in front of him, whom he found charming in her dirty wedding gown would be hit. Flustered with no idea of how he would get over the situation, he gave up and set his gaze on the pathetic whom was glaring at the groom. 'How did I get here' He thought groaning in his soul. 'I should leave, and just get this over with, I will find someone else, I don't need to get married to this one, I will definitely meet someone else' He tried to convince himself, but then his feet refused to move, his heart had embraced the idea of getting married to Kitty. The fact that she would die if he make any move made his countenance ponderously changed
She couldn't stop staring at the stranger, thoughts of why he would want to get married to her overwhelmed her. She felt stuck in the middle of her own decision. Marrying him seems just fine and same time wrong, but if it's just for a week, what then could go wrong she thought.Emersed by his charming eyes and perfectly shape facial bone structure, seriously to her, there couldn't be anyone so perfect.Suddenly she felt his grip on her tighten and his eyes widely opened, he looked liked he'd seen a ghost which made her heart pound very fast."Is he a psycho? Why hold me so tight? why look like he just saw a ghost?" Thoughts run through her mind as she tries to get his hands off her.But in an instance she felt his hand swing her around"What the hell?" She screamed.She fixed her eyes on his, staring at him with so much rage, kitty r
A raging desire to break every bone of his fingers brew up inside of her as she kept glaring intensely at her so called husband whom she was yet to know his name."Why are you glaring at me" His deep manly voice struck her off her thoughts then she grabbed his hand and shoved it off her head with full force.She heard the sound of her shoulder joint cracked, but cause of her pride she shut her eyes as she moaned. When she opened her eyes, she noticed his gaze still on her as his brow raised waiting for her explanation but she wasn't ready to explain.Their eyes were fixed on each other, and kitty's rage continued to escalate as she kept a daring gaze.Seeing how they were both intensified, Mirabel thought of how best she would interrupt. Then she walked in between them and stretched her hands towards him."Hi, I'm Mirabel, Kitty's younger sister."
Kitty scoffed as she watched Jason carried the child back inside the church. She knew it wasn't a good idea, which made her to wonder what kind of man he is that would carry a child inside a place where the shooting culprit was still inside.She erupted out of her thoughts when she heard her sister- Mirabel's voice screamed"Aunt Silvia, Aunt Margaret"Mirabel walked to where their aunt was.Gulping down her saliva, kitty slowly walked behind her, the pain on her feet was becoming next to impossible to bare, but still she wasn't willing to ask for help. She struggled her way towards her aunt."Kitty" Silvia said as she hugged kitty seeing the way she looked a mess."Are you okay my child, hope you weren't hurt?" Staring into Kitty's eyes she waited for a reply."No Aunt" Kitty removed her hand from her cheeks."
"Why are you glaring at me? Jason asked his newly wedded bride. Her eyes piercing at his like she was ready to stab him with a knife. He could sense the danger in her voracious gaze, which made him amused.He liked it, the fury in her eyes, it excited him like he was in a comedy show. The thought that he would spend some days with her and her gaze might become even more deadly than it was now made him chuckle. Nothing would be more desirable to him than waking up to the sight of a woman always frowning at him.He erupted out of his thoughts when her hand gripped his hand on her head and she shoved it off with full force.The sound of her shoulder bone cracking made him gnashed his teeth sending her pain.'That must have hurt' He thought but didn't utter a word.He kept his gaze on her, he couldn't get enough of her beauty. With eyes as wide as hers, and hair as curled
As he walked into the church, his eyes trailed round and the only thing that caught his attention was the footprints of blood. He traced it as it lead him almost close to the alter."Kitty" He muttered.He sighed and gulped down his saliva. The sight of broken glasses on the floor and the decorative rods laying on the chairs, reminded him of a past incident.He took in a deep breath, then he sighted a veil on the floor, he bent down and pick it up. He smiled as he dropped the girl and stared passionately at the veil.It was the same veil kitty had on the first time he saw her through his car's windscreen. When she was crawling as she gripped his driver.Jason bursted into laughter, it was an unforgettable sight for him, recalling the way she looked pathetic."``bang``" A sound of gun shot interrupted his thoughts.He stood up on his feet as he mo
Breathing heavily her pink cherry-like shaped lips were trembling in fear. Her body was frozen as she stood at the restroom door staring at Jason with the gun on his hand. Jason could see how blank the child was and her tears just wouldn't stop falling like rain.He was the little hope she had in finding her parents and that little weak light of hope she had left on her heart was completely overshadowed with darkness. Her beautiful charming eyes, bright eyes like the ocean with a pupil a bit bigger than normal, dark pupil that always gives her eyes away were turning lifeless.With each step Jason took towards her-she took same backwards. Even though the church was air-conditioned tight- the way she was frightened was so evident that beads of sweats formed all over her body.Jason's eyes was fixed at hers, with great regret almost ripping his heart off his chest. How could he make suc

"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
