"Time for me to go receive my glory," she said and got up leaving the house for the Hotel, knowing very well there would be reporters at the hotel waiting to interview her too. The guard was already at the door waiting for Mrs Haward as soon as she exited the living room. The guard pressed the elevator button and they both entered. Mrs Haward was in her best clothing and looking elegant. Within a few minutes, they were on their way to Paradise Hotel. In the car, she opened her phone browser going through the various platforms that were talking about Jason's arrest. She couldn't help but smile ear to ear. The car drove into the hotel compound and as she had anticipated there were reporters everywhere. She got out of the car and was immediately surrounded by reporters who asked one question after the other. She was not paying attention to any of the questions but was very happy she was surrounded by so many reporters. It was Jason who used to get this kind of attention when he was sti

They both exited the living room and were soon in the car heading towards the police station where Jason was being kept. Upon arrival at the station, they run into Peter at the police station parking lot. They exchanged greetings and together they headed for the police station entrance. Just a couple of walks away from the entrance they saw lined up guards all in uniform. They look very formidable. Dr Andesh, Mirenda, Henry and Peter glanced briefly at each other and returned their gaze to the scene before them. The guards were standing in two files. In the middle, they saw Jason and Mr Wellington walking out of the police station at the same time James was being led into the station in handcuffs accompanied by three officers and the officer who was arrested with him was also following. Jason, now free exiting the station, walked past James, who was in handcuff being led into the station. The swarm of reporters who had gathered at the police station compound captured the moment the t

"What is happening here?" Mrs Haward asked placing her hand on the wall for support as she stared at the scene before her in shock. "What are you two doing here? Ain't you supposed to be..." she began but Jason completed her statement for her."In prison? Yeah sure. Let's save that conversation for later. Let's talk about why I am here," said Jason."You never cease to amaze me. I wonder how you keep getting away anytime I think I have you. This won't last for long," Mrs Haward said.Earlier, she had fallen into a state of total shock as she was not expecting to see Jason and worse he was in her new office."Whatever," retorted Jason. "I need my office," he said and Mrs Haward laughed hysterically."You want what?" Mrs Haward asked still laughing as she spun the chair in front of the desk around and sat down."Jason, Jason, what makes you think you still own this office," Mrs Haward questioned with her leg crossed but Jason kept on a cold expressionless face.Peter was sitting down on

"What?" Mrs Haward exclaimed.Her mind quickly went to a time in the office when Mr Wellington brought some documents to the office for her to sign. She signed them without paying any attention to the details as she wanted to know how soon her probation would end and how long it would take after the end of probation for her to take ownership of the company. She shut her eyes and the phone fell from her hand."Ma'am are you alright?" asked the receptionist with concern seeing her sudden colour change and the fact that she exclaimed loudly.Even though the distance between the receptionist and Mrs Haward is the surface of the receptionist's desk, Mrs Haward was hearing the voice of the receptionist like she was far away from her as she took slow steps towards the exit leaving her luggage."Ma'am," the receptionist got out from behind her desk trying to draw Mrs Haward's attention to her bags but Mrs Haward could not make meaning of what she was saying. Eventually, she exited the Hotel le

"I have a plan," Mirenda said with a smile."Whatever you have in mind, count me in. You have my full support," Henry said."Hey, Babe, wait and hear the plan I have first," Mirenda said giggling."I trust you so I am in," Henry said and lay down on the bed next to her.Mirenda was sitting on the bed with her back resting on the headboard"Okay, it's late. Let's start planning something tomorrow," Henry suggested and Mirenda agreed with him.She repositioned herself to lie down on the bed. Henry kissed the top of her head and wrapped his arms around her. She nestled into his arms. The next day, Mirenda was at Jason's house as early as 8 a.m."Wow, since when did you become a morning person," Jason asked seeing Mirenda in his apartment."Eerhhh, I am leaving with Henry," Mirenda replied."Hmmm, I see," replied Jason watching her move towards the dining area."I can see Henry changed a lot of things but left your morning coffee habit," Jason commented."That is stuck with me forever.

Jason remembered the soup and sent a message to Mary to prepare soup for Julia. Later that evening when Henry came to pick up Mirenda, Jason decided to engage the two in a conversation. Julia was sleeping by then. "With everything back, we have two huge companies to manage. Peter is managing Paradise Hotel but I need someone to manage the Haward company," Jason began."That is true. I will help you find someone good to do that. The person will report to you," Mirenda offered and Jason smiled."How about you Mirenda? You hold a certificate in business," Jason said with a smile and Mirenda's hand flew to her mouth stopping the surprised screams that wanted to come out."Yes, Mirenda. I believe you are the right fit for the position. Julia will be the head of the architecture department. That is her area of speciality," Jason said with a smile."Brother," Mirenda said not sure how to react. "Thank you," she said and got up from the chair and went to hug Jason and placed her head on his

The person Julia had seen earlier stepped out of the storage room and moved closer to a window looking at the front of the store. The person peeped through the window with a frown looking at Julia getting into the car. "Are you alright?" Jason asked with concern seeing the sudden change in Julia's mood. She said nothing but placed her head on Jason's shoulder wrapping her hand around his arms. Jason kissed the top of her head rubbing her shoulder."Are you alright?" he asked again but Julia remained quiet making him worry. Jason looked at the front seat with a frown."What happened inside the store?" Jason questioned the guard before he could put the car into motion.Julia hearing Jason asking the guard in a terrifying tone to know why she is like that felt guilty. She quickly intervened."Nothing, I just feel down all of a sudden," Julia lied.Jason frowned wondering why Julia was lying to him. His concern for Julia made him study her close to the extent that, he knows her like the

Jason gently carried Julia in his arms and headed for the apartment. Inside the bedroom, he laid her gently on the bed and covered her with the blanket. He stared at her sleeping face for a while and kissed her forehead before exiting the room. He headed for his office to complete what he was doing. Julia's scream was what brought him to the bedroom. He sat down behind the desk. For no reason, he felt uneasy inside. Mrs Haward is no longer a threat as she doesn't have any authority any more but he still feels uneasy. His phone buzzed while he was still lost in his thoughts. He checked the caller ID and it was Mirenda."Hello, Mirenda," he said"Hello brother and how is our newest wife bride," Mirenda asked."Good," replied Jason."I hope you will have more than, 'hmm', 'fine', and 'good', words to say on your wedding day," Mirenda teased.The corners of Jason's lips curled up a little as he smiled. "I will do my best," Jason said."Okay, so I called to let you know, Fiona and I, have

At the station, Mr Wellington, Dr Andesh, Henry, Mirenda and Jason decided to leave. The General walked them to the exit before returning to his office."Wait, does it mean you faked your health condition?" Jason asked still surprised by how Mr Wellington was walking around like nothing happened."Well, Dr Andesh here was able to identify the chemical and prepared an antidote with the help of a friend," Mr Wellington said."Jane did drugged me and seeing this needle mark, I knew she injected me with the chemical. It was not going to kill me, but I will be lying in bed like I am in a coma," he explained."How did she come by such chemicals?" Jason asked as they walked towards their cars flanked by some bodyguards."Jane has a basic knowledge of pharmaceuticals, but her friend Maria has more than basic knowledge in that field," Mr Wellington explained."Does this scene remind you of anything?" Mirenda asked Jason as they stood by their parked cars."Yeah, when we came to get you out of

At the hospital, James pleaded with the officers to allow him to see how his baby was doing. Seeing the honest look in his eyes, they agreed, but one officer went with him. James went to the unit where Lily was kept under close monitoring but she was not there. He started panicking as he scanned the whole room frantically. "No, she was here last night. Let me ask the doctor. Maybe they moved her to the nursery," James said and the officer stared at him wondering if this was just a trick to get away, but before he could say anything to James who looked very worried a doctor walked to the scene."Doctor, how is Lily?" James asked looking very anxious, and the officer stood there looking on."Mr Haward, I am sorry. It appeared the baby was given an overdose. We did our best, but we lost her," he announced and James dropped to the floor on his knees.The room suddenly felt heavy for him and his heart broke into many pieces. The first day he set his eyes on the child who looked so much li

"No, that is impossible. I checked all the accounts before I changed the ownership with the letter your husband signed," Maria said. ”It was from one of the accounts I paid the six partners from Haward’s International to council their contract and sign a new one with the Wellington company. I will be sending the prepared partnership contract to them today,” she added."Well, see for yourself," Jane said turning her laptop to face Maria.Maria flipped through the accounts displayed on the laptop and they were all empty. She picked up the phone and after looking through a file she dialled the finance department extension."Come to my office now," Maria yelled on the call."Ma'am, please where is your office?" came the finance manager's voice."Don't ask me stupid questions. Come to the CEO's office," Maria yelled."Forgive me ma'am, but which of the CEO's office, Mr Wellington’s or Mr Jason’s?" he asked and Maria was livid."Are you mocking me?" Maria questioned."No, ma'am. I just want

"And ma'am, a strange man came here a couple of nights ago. He gave me his name as Mark Smith. He said he was here to help Ma'am Fiona get her TV channel," he added and Mirenda's eyes widened."James," Mirenda whispered. "Fiona is in trouble. James got her. I knew it," she said."No, James doesn't have Fiona. James came for Ms Julia but we got her back. I was there with Mr Haward," Henry said."But you heard what he said," Mirenda said.Henry pulled out his phone and dialled Jason's number. He waited for the call to connect while Mirenda started looking around for anything that would give them a clue about where to find Fiona. She hoped Fiona left clues for them to follow as she searched the environment. She headed for the apartment."Hello, Mr Haward. We have a situation. Ms Fiona is missing and it is possible James may have come for her," Henry said."I am with the police now. I will alert them," Jason said and the call ended.Henry turned around and Mirenda was nowhere to be found.

Jason and Julia were attended to at the hospital. Jason had his wound leg bandaged. Julia was given a laxative to pass the ring out of her system. Jason jumped on a call the moment the nurse was done with him. Julia was in the lavatory."Yes, you couldn't find him because he changed his face. He looked different now. Same voice, same mannerism but a different face," Jason said on the call."Well, my men lost the car, but we have sent our security agents to all the airports. We are strictly checking all flights booked within the last forty-eight hours," the general informed Jason."That is good," Jason acknowledged."Is it possible to get a perfect description of his current face to share with our men?" the general asked."Yes, have someone come over to the hospital," Jason said and the call ended.Jason sent the location of the hospital to the general and dialled Peter's number next. Henry had left to pick up Mirenda."Hello Peter, what is the current update?" Jason asked."After the

Jason dropped his gun to the floor and put up his hand in surrender. James smiled and tried to stand still with his gun aimed at Julia. He knew that was his only way of keeping Jason from attacking him. He saw just now how skilful Jason had become since he last saw him. Jason was already skilful in combat and realized he also had a perfect aim. He gunned down four men delivering a bullet into each person's skull."Now listen carefully. Kick that gun to me," James instructed and Jason did just that.James stopped the gun with his feet and quickly picked it up."Now, you are going to take a step back and keep going until I say stop," James instructed. "Keep your hands where I can see them," he added and Jason obeyed walking backwards but he kept his gaze on Julia."Good, you are doing fine," James said, briefly looking at his wounded shoulder.With the gun Jason had pushed to him, he shot the legs of the chair at the joint and broke it wounding Julia in the process. It was easy to kick

Outside, Jason's car was parked at the shoulder of the road. With him was just two guards. He had all the guards watching the house to ensure no one attacked his son"That road to the location you mentioned looks like a dead end," Henry pointed out."It is a dead end," Jason said."How do you figure?" Henry asked."The road ends in front of a warehouse. When my stepfather was alive, he worked closely with the man who owned this warehouse. I am not entirely sure what happened to that man. We woke up one day and he was nowhere to be found. Dead or alive no one knows. He sold the company overnight. My stepfather visited the place saying he had a home inside this warehouse. He thought he could find him here but the place was empty. We checked all the rooms except for one room that was locked with a huge padlock from the outside. It was the first and last time I visited this place," Jason narrated."Wow, you rich and powerful people have hidden stories," Henry commented."Hmm," Jason said.

"James cut this shit and let Julia go. I am the one you want. So come and let's talk," Jason said coldly."No dear brother. I think I have what I want right here," James said with a sinister smile as he stared at Julia who still looked unfazed."James," Jason called out to him.Julia kept her eyes locked on James and slowly moved her hand to her back. She removed her ring from her finger behind her back as she remained rooted to her spot with her back facing the elevator."I know what you are doing. Just stalking me so the police will get here. I will not give you that luxury," James said and ended the call.He threw the phone into the wall smashing it into pieces. In that brief moment, Julia put her wedding ring into her mouth and swallowed it. James shifted his gaze back to Julia and frowned seeing her squeeze her face."I will not make the mistakes I made in the past," James said. "Strip," he ordered with a serious expression."What?" Julia said."You heard me," James replied."I w

"What? What are you talking about? Who is Jason's mother?" Dr Andesh asked and pressed a button under her desk."It's an interesting story, but unfortunately, your people will start coming in and I don't want too many dead people in this room," Jane said and set the gun."If you are going to kill me, at least tell me who Jason's mother is?" Dr Andesh said and Jane smiled."The nanny who took him to the park and he got kidnapped," Jane replied with a smile, and Dr Andesh raised an eyebrow wondering how but before she could ask another question hoping to buy time for someone to come in, Jane pulled the trigger.Dr Andesh fell to the ground. Jane walked over to look at her lying on the floor behind the desk."You are Mr Wellington's right-hand person. You will make trouble with everything you know if I don't clear you," Jane said and pulled the trigger putting a bullet into Dr Andesh's chest.She walked out of the room and closed the door. She heard footsteps and she exited the place goi
