"Boss, this doesn't look good, especially for Ms Julia. Is there anything you would like me to do to ensure Ms Julia's safety?" Peter asked on the other end of the call."Find out how he escaped and who is the strange woman the media is talking about. I want every detail on," Jason said and the call ended.Jason stood in front of the door for a while before returning to the room to be with Julia and his baby. Julia noticed the sudden change in his mood and decided to ask."Is everything okay?" Julia asked with concern."My mum was admitted to the hospital today," Jason said in one breath and Julia looked at him surprised."What happened?" she asked sounding surprised by the news."Not sure. The doctors are still investigating," Jason replied not ready to share the details with Julia, about how Mrs Wellington made an attempt on her life because her husband refused to forgive her."I am so sorry, my love," Julia said, lovingly rubbing Jason's shoulder.Baby Jason was in Julia's arms, an
Fiona stared at Mirenda for a while before replying to her."I will be fine. Besides, James doesn't know I live her now. A better place to hide from the enemy is in his own home. If anything, he would look for me in my old apartment. Again, it would be stupid for him to come here if he escaped prison this morning," Fiona said."Okay. You are probably right," Mirenda acknowledged understanding Fiona didn't want to leave the place but she also felt, Fiona was right in a way."Okay, I will be on my way now. If anything, give me a call and keep the place locked up," Mirenda advised and headed for the door.Fiona breathed a sigh of relief when Mirenda didn't question her about the bag she was holding and the way she was dressed. After ensuring Mirenda had left, she went upstairs to her room and found the baby still sleeping and James lying in bed in just his boxer pants with his hand resting on the baby. He was gently patting the baby."I got you some clothes to wear," Fiona said and broug
Days went by and Jane was doing very well. Even though it was conclusive that her condition was a result of the chemical from the sachet she had put in the water, they could not tell what kind of chemical it was. Dr Andesh took it upon herself to further investigate the chemical. Mr Wellington was just happy he didn't lose his wife. He was just happy she was recovering very well.Jason had double the security in his house to ensure there was no chance of James getting to Julia or his son. Mirenda and Henry had put a hold on their wedding preparation until they had confirmed James had left the country after breaking out from prison.The police were also searching everywhere for James but he was nowhere to be found. It was as if the moment he broke out of prison, he vanished into theme air. There were no records in any of the airports that he had travelled out of the country by air. The Marines had also reported back after weeks that no one with such a description had made use of their
Jason was in his office working on some office documents when he heard a knock on his door."Yes, come in," Jason responded not bothering to look at who had just walked in."Sir, this came in for you," reported the servant, and Jason raised his head to find the servant holding a brown envelope to him.He accepted the envelope from the servant's hand and dismissed him. The servant exited the office to continue with his task. Jason opened the envelope and brought out the contents. It was from the court. He read it, put it back and placed the envelope aside. He was already aware of Mrs Haward's release. He sat behind his desk for a while unable to concentrate. He slammed his hand on the table and exited the office."Jason, my love, is everything alright?" Julia asked, seeing Jason head for the staircase but he ignored her.Julia had just entered the living room carrying baby Jason when she saw Jason heading for the staircase looking angry. Mary was with her. Julia handed baby Jason over
"Now, here are my terms," Julia began and Mrs Haward interrupted."Your terms?" Mrs Haward repeated with a frown."Yes and as a reminder. I am Mr Johan's only child. My father, abandoned me, his only child because of you," Julia said."He cheated on me," Mrs Haward threw the words at Julia."Yes, he did. An honest mistake. Your first son was a result of a deliberate cheating action on your side. Out of respect for you, I was abandoned, but what did you do, you had another child for him from another man," Julia submitted."I was set up," Mrs Haward defended."Set up indeed. If you had stayed at home and taken care of your two sons how would you have fallen into that trap," Julia said with a smirk and Mrs Haward stared at her, clenching her fist beneath the table.If not for the guards in the room with them she would have beaten the hell out of Julia, hearing the words coming out of her mouth right now. Julia could read the anger in her eyes but only smiled at her range."So yes, my ter
At 10 a.m., Jason was in his office working, while Julia and Mary sat on the balcony with little Jason who appeared to be growing very fast. He had already started speaking the gibberish language.In the office, an email notification popped up on Jason's laptop screen. He opened the email and read the content. It was an email for his approval to begin the onboarding process of the new applicant who will be occupying the position of procurement officer. Jason downloaded the attachment of the applicant.Mark Smith. He read the name and looked at his CV and supporting documents.Approved. Jason replied to the email and continued with his work.At Wellington's company, James sat down patiently waiting for what was next after successfully going through the interview. He had spent time preparing himself with the help of Fiona."Mr Smith, the boss has approved everything. Your onboarding starts tomorrow at 9 a.m.," the man said to James. "For today, kindly see the HR and submit the necessary
Fiona arrived at the apartment and parked her car ten minutes after James had walked in. She used the elevator up to the sixth floor and found James in the living room watching the news channel."When did you get here?" Fiona asked taking off her shoes.She picked them up and walked into the living room."Is that the best way you can greet me?" James said and Fiona drew closer to him bent down and planted a kiss on his lips.James grabbed her and deepened the kiss making her fall onto his lap. Fiona giggled pulling away from the kiss but remained in James's arms."So how did it go?" she asked."Well, the preparation pushed me through. I have a job and the salary is good," James replied."That is good," Fiona said and lowered her head."What is it?" James asked seeing her looking sad all of a sudden."I know you want to get back at Jason for putting you and your mother in prison, but can't you let it go? You have a new face, a new identity and a job. We have a baby. We can get married
"Do you not know who I am?" Jane asked."I do know who you are ma'am. It's just that the boss tasked me to ensure you are safe and okay," the guard replied and Jane frowned."Do I look like I need a babysitter?" Jane growled. "And am I a prison in this house?" she questioned."No ma'am," the guard replied respectfully."Out of my way before I have my husband terminate your contract," Jane threatened and the guard moved out of her way allowing her to walk out the front door, but he quickly retrieved his phone and sent a text to Mr Wellington.Boss, ma'am had just stepped out of the house.At the office, Mr Wellington was sitting behind his desk working on some documents when his phone buzzed with the message notification. He unlocked it and read the message from the guard.Okay.He replied to the guard and continued with his work.James on the other hand, after the online meeting with Jason, went to the IT department and found Jonathan."I would like to ask a quick question," James beg
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
