"Well, you are right. Jason knew about the will," Mirenda said, walking towards the bed. Mrs Haward was sitting behind the dressing table cleaning her face with a cleanser. She stopped cleaning her face and turned to look at Mirenda who was sitting on the bed. "How did you find that out?" Mrs Haward asked curiously. "I spoke with Julia. She told me their first meeting was by accident, and they became secret friends and one day he asked her to marry him, and she said yes," Mirenda reported. "Just like that?" questioned Mrs Haward. "Yes, mum. It makes perfect sense why they are so distant from each other. They never dated," Mirenda added. Mrs Haward sat in silence processing the new information in addition to what she already knew. "Julia is the daughter of her husband. Basically, she is his only blood. Mirenda, James and Jason are all outsiders. Jason, by marrying Julia, has become the rightful heir to the Haward's fortune," Mrs Haward thought. "Mum?" Mirenda called but Mrs Hawa

Julia pressed her back against the door and sunk to the floor hugging her legs. In her silence, she recalled their passionate moment together; Jason grabbed her by the side. Her hand quickly went to that side of her body and she felt a burning sensation touching it. Looking at it, her skin had turned red, and it was bruised. It was a hand-print. She didn't know why, but she felt sad and tears started flowing down her face as she rested her head on her knees. Jason was out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist and with another, he dried his hair. He picked some fresh clothes from the closet, put them on, and stepped out of the room after dressing up. He draws the curtains, allowing in some light and fresh air. He turned, and his eyes fell on a red dress lying on the floor, along with female underwear. He frowned deeply, wondering if Julia had run out of the apartment naked. "How did she leave the apartment without her clothes?" Jason thought, heading towards the entran

The day went by with Julia and Jason spending their entire day inside their room. Later that night, while Julia was sleeping, a hand covered her mouth and a knife was placed under her chin. She opened her eyes in shock but could not see who it was as the room was dark. "Sssh, a sound from you and this knife will split your throat, do you understand?" came a husky male voice. Julia nodded, but the corners of her eyes were quickly filled with tears as she trembled in fear. "Now, you are going to get up from this bed and quietly walk with me out of this room," the man said in the same tone, and Julia nodded. Julia got up from the bed, placing her feet on the floor with a knife under her chin. She stood up, and the man had the opportunity to get behind her and, still with the knife under her chin, led her to the door. Julia's hands hang loosely on her side as she slightly opens them apart, more like in surrender. Walking past the bedside stand, Julia slowly grabbed the lamp in the dar

Another guard took a pocket knife from the table and the man's eyes widened, wondering what they were going to do to him. His eyes shifted to Jason, who had a sinister smile plastered on his face. "What are you going to do?" the man asked, sounding agitated. "Huh, I have not started anything, and you just lost your nerves," Jason sneered. Peter put a drop of what was in the container, which was still making a fizzy sound, on the ground and there was smoke. They all quickly put on a mask as the liquid produces more smoke as it burns the ground. The man started coughing because he was without a mask. They all removed their masks after a minute when the liquid was done burning. That part of the floor turned dark. "The next drop will be on your wound," Jason said. "I don't have any wound," said the man, trembling in his seat. Jason just moved his gaze to the guard holding the pocket knife and the man gulped. "Now that my terms are clearly communicated, are you ready to talk?" que

"Yes, but I want him to start coming with you to work moving forward, and learn about the company so you two can manage it together," Mrs Haward said, and Jason just stared at her. "Look, Jason, your father gave James some business to manage, but you know he is a bit clumsy. I need you to teach him to manage those businesses, so they don't collapse," Mrs Haward explained further when Jason was silent. "Mum, you know James. He doesn't like the office kind of work. I would rather suggest you allow him to follow his dreams. I have checked, and the businesses entrusted to his care are already doing well. Father, put everything in place so that, with or without any management, the business would not collapse. He can remain the CEO and pursue his dreams," Jason responded. "So, he honestly thinks my son is a failure in the business world," Mrs Haward thought and was furious, but didn't show it. "I am not asking you to educate me on James. He is your brother and all I am asking is for you

After staying home for two days, Julia was ready to return to work, and it was the same day James was also going with Jason to work after his mother, Mrs Haward, convinced him to take James to work with him. Julia was already up and ready for work. She put on a simple black dress, with two fastened buttons at the front and a zipper at the back. The style was so simple; it didn't make her the centre of attraction, but equally didn't hide her like a backdrop. She stepped out of the room and quickly went downstairs, as Jason had already left the room. Upon getting to the stairs, she surveyed the place as she descended to make sure she didn't run into any of Jason's relatives. Reaching the last stairs, she quickly made her way to the door and went out of the building. Jason saw her back as she was running towards the door, and he frowned, but he didn't stop her either. He had just come out of his study. "Good morning, sir," greeted the servant who had just entered the living room. "Good

"Relax, I'm not going to bite," James said and slipped his hand down her shoulder to her chest. Julia quickly got up from the seat, but James quickly pulled her back onto the seat, forcing her head up by holding her jaw. "Funny you want to act decent now," James said with a smirk, tilting his head to the side. He locked Julia's neck with his arms like he was going to choke her. Julia held his arms with both hands, trying to break free. With his other free hand, he went under her dress and into her bra and fondled her peaches. Julia tensed up and tried to take his hand out, but the more she tried, the harder he pressed her throat with his hand, making her cough. Tears streamed down Julia's face as she couldn't stop him from harassing her. She couldn't scream either, as she was afraid of what they would do to her. James finally removed his hand from under her dress after what felt like a forever torment for her. "You can fool Jason, not me," James said, letting go of her. "I could fee

When Jason entered the living room, the first person he saw was James. Without a word, he punched him so hard in the face, that James's nose fractured immediately, and he fell to the floor. "Jason! What is wrong with you?" Mirenda yelled and quickly went to James, who was now recovering from the punch. Mrs Haward quickly came out of her room, hearing the fall accompanied by Mirenda's yelling. "What is going on here?" Mrs Haward questioned, but Jason said nothing. He turned to walk away. "Jason, I am talking to you," Mrs Haward yelled before Jason could exit the apartment. Jason slowly turned to face Mrs Haward; his face red with anger. "Well, it so happens, that Playboy here doesn't know the meaning of out of bonds," he said angrily. "So, you hit your elder brother because he entered a place he wasn't supposed to?" Mrs Haward questioned angrily. "Mum, I think you should let him tell you what exactly he did to my wife," Jason replied, pointing to James, who was now sitting on the

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
