Julia frowned staring at the person whose smile kept becoming broader. "Good morning Mr Haward, Ms Harrison," greeted Mary still smiling. Julia looked at her hand and saw she was carrying a small travelling bag. She frowned and briefly looked at Jason before turning her gaze to Mary still wondering what she was doing there with her bag. "Is everything alright Mary?" Julia asked surprised but also concerned. "Yes, everything is fine," Mary replied with a smile. "Okay, so what brought you here this early morning?" Julia asked. "Mr Haward asked me to bring all your stuff together with mine, here," Mary replied still smiling and Julia's eyes widened turning to look at Jason who appeared to be well composed. "Jason, did you ask her to do that?" Julia asked with traces of anger in her voice. "Yes," Jason replied calmly. "Jason, what makes you think I want to move in with you? I have had enough of your bullying attitude. Can't I have the freedom to decide for myself for once? M
The guard called Mori and informed her, that Fiona was coming back. She quickly finished what she was doing and left the room locked. As soon as she entered her room, Fiona also entered the living room and walked straight to her bedroom unaware her room just got bugged. Fiona sat down on her bed thinking of what to do next. "These people brought me here for a reason, and they already know I faked my pregnancy. I need to quickly come up with a plan before they know I am faking my memory loss." Fiona thought. "The video is not enough. I need something more," she bit on her nail in deep thought. "Wait!, Jason, I need to get in touch with Jason, he can do something with this video," Fiona thought and got up from the bed. She walked towards the door and exited the room. She walked into the living room and exited the living room onto the balcony. "Now how do I get in touch with Jason," she thought as she sat on the chair resting her head on her hand folded behind her. At Paradise Ho
Jason nodded and knocked on the door. "Mirenda?" Jason called out to her and knocked on the door again. Henry was standing behind Jason, just inches away, his face full of concern as he waited to see if Mirenda would open the door. "Mirenda, is me, Jason, please open the door," Jason said and they both heard the door unlocking. The doorknob turned and the door opened slightly. Jason pushed it open and proceeded to enter. "I will keep Julia company," Henry said and Jason responded with a 'hmm' before entering Mirenda's room. The room was nicely decorated with a pot of flowers sitting close to the window. The scent from the flower gave the room a refreshing scent. The bed had curtains around it which had been dropped down except for where Mirenda was sitting. She had her head lowered and was holding something in her hand. Her hair was let down and unkept. She looked a little skinny. She had not been eating. Jason stood there for a while observing her. "Mirenda," Jason called out
Back in the living room, Mrs Haward, Mori and James were celebrating Jason losing the Hotel with drinks in hand. The noise of their celebration went straight to Fiona's room and she decided to come out of her room. She wanted to know more about what was going on without asking. "James," Fiona called out as she took slow steps towards the living room where the celebration was going on. "James," she called out again but James could not hear her amidst all the noise they were making with the clinking of glasses, laughter and loud chatting. Fiona walked into the living room and stopped a couple of inches away from the celebrating group, eyes moving from Mori to Mrs Haward and finally resting on James who was pouring a glass of wine down his throat. Mori was first to turn to see Fiona standing just a couple of inches away from them and she frowned. "Let's get some more drinks," James shouted and his gaze fell on Fiona. "Hey, babe, what are you doing there, I thought you were resting
"Sir, we had a challenge with the system in the night. So all bookings were manually done," reported the night receptionist. Peter looked at the time on his laptop screen and it was 6 a.m. His shift had ended and the one to take over was already in. "Is Thomas in?" Peter asked. "Yes sir, he is already at his post," the receptionist replied. "Get him and both of you come to my office," instructed Peter. "Greetings, is your boss around," came a deep male voice. "Yes please," replied Thomas. His working colleague arrived on the scene and patiently waited for Thomas to finish attending to the guest before he engaged him. "By your boss, I mean Mr Haward," repeated the man in his deep voice. "Mr Haward has not arrived yet sir but his PA is around," replied the night receptionist on behave of his colleague Thomas. "Okay, we would like to see him then," requested the man. "Yes, please," replied Thomas and he quickly led them to Peter's office. "Sir," Thomas called out as soon
Jason's eyes widened and he tensed up quickly even though he remained composed staring at the person before him. "I am Vera, a friend of the journalist who hosted your brother James on the TV show," Vera introduced as she dropped her disguise on the empty seat before her."So you are a woman? Why the male disguise?" Jason asked already feeling uncomfortable."I am hiding from your brother James," Vera replied. "Can I sit?" she asked."Sure," replied Jason coldly.If it is James, Jason knows it has everything to do with abuse or harassment."Fiona is the name of the journalist who hosted James on the TV show. She believes you can help us. Can you?" Vera asked with urgency."Depends on what kind of help you are asking of me," Jason replied trying his best to remain calm.Jason picked up his phone and unlocked the screen. He went into his gallery and clicked on Julia's image which immediately covered his phone screen. With the phone almost beneath the table, he just stared at Julia's ima
"So the end of the month, which is four days from now, you will start your role as Acting CEO of Paradise Hotel," Mr Wellington announced and Mrs Haward grinned inside as she controlled her smiles on the outside. The meeting came to an end and they both left for their respective destinations. Mr Wellington went to Jason's apartment to wait for him. Mrs Haward arrived home with the good news and the celebration began. "CEO of Paradise Hotel," praised Mori."This news will hit Jason like a fist blow when he hears it. He doesn't know Mr Wellington meets with you right?" asked James."No, Mr Wellington is not the type to tell everyone about what he is doing," replied Mrs Haward."I think it makes sense to play my favourite music," Mori said and quickly moved to the stereo.She hit play and the living room was soon filled with the song, Holiday by Madonna. She started swaying her waist to the rhythm of the song. James just watched her stunned by her dance moves. "I didn't know you could
The long-anticipated day finally arrived and Mrs Haward got ready to go to Paradise Hotel to start her new role as Acting CEO. If she can impress Mr Wellington, he will confirm her as the new CEO. If Jason keeps rising she will also not stop until he stays on the ground where he belongs. Mrs Haward looks at herself in the mirror and smiles before leaving her room. The guard was waiting for her in the living room. She just gave her bag to him and headed for the door. The guard followed her out. After a few minutes' drive, they arrive at the Hotel. Just in time to see Jason exit the building. "Well, well, well, isn't it the scammer," Mrs Haward said with a sinister smile. "Nice to see you too, mum," greeted Jason. "I didn't come to see you. I am here because I am taking over your company," Mrs Haward said and laughed. "Isn't that exciting?" she said and Jason stared at her quietly. "Is there anything you want to say to me, mum?" Jason asked. Before Mrs Haward could respond Pet
