The closing of the door caused Julia to turn, coming face to face with James, who looked at her smiling sinisterly. "So, you decided to talk to my brother, right?" James questioned. "You see what you did?" he said, pointing to the plaster on his nose bridge and his upper lip was also bruised. "You are going to pay for it," James said, took two more steps towards Julia and held her neck, pushing her against the cabinet behind her. "By the time I am done with you, you will wish you had never said anything to Jason," James said, releasing Julia and rubbing her cheeks with the back of his hand, James stared at Julia, and she was looking at him sternly, but James could read from Julia's eyes she was scared even though she was putting up a strong front. James touched Julia's lips with his thumb and was inching closer, but she turned her face away and James chuckled. He smiled and left the storage room. Julia stood frozen for a while before leaving the room with the design she had come to

Mrs Haward smiled while reading the message and finally laid down to sleep with a smile plastered on her face. In the morning, Jason and Julia stepped out of the room already dressed and ready for work. Jason wanted Julia to eat breakfast before they left the house, so they went to the dining area. Mrs Haward joined them a few minutes later, followed by Grandpa and Mirenda, who walked in at the same time with Grandpa trailing behind Mirenda. "Where is your brother," asked Mrs Haward. "He didn't come home last night," Mirenda replied. "I thought I heard him," Mrs Haward said, and Mirenda shrugged her shoulders. "Flea, how are you?" Mrs Haward asked, looking at Julia, but Julia kept her head down. Jason shot his mother a look as he placed a hand on Julia's hand, assuring her he was with her. "What, is it a crime to greet?" Mrs Haward asked, looking at Jason. "Mum, please, she is my wife and her name is Julia. Please don't call her by any other name," Jason said, sounding serious,

"I hope he will like what I am going to change into," Barbara said with a smile. James chuckled as he watched Barbara go back to the room. His mind quickly drifted off to Julia once Barbara was away. "I must find a way to deal with this girl. I will have her one way or another," James thought. A couple of minutes later, Barbara returned to the living room, wearing a tight jumpsuit which showed all her curves. It had a low back and cut-out circles at both sides of her waist. The dress also had the front cut out where part of her chest was exposed. "Is this better?" Barbara asked, placing her hands on her hips and giving James a 360 turn. "This is worse than what she was wearing earlier," James thought, looking at Barbara. "But anyway, I will sign up for anything that will annoy Jason," he thought, smiling. "It's perfect," he complimented and offered her his arms. Barbara smiled and happily held on to James's arms as they both walked towards the door. He opened the door and Mir

"Jason, you son of a bitch," James murmured. James returned to his office and closed the door. He frowned, looking at the other employees in their departments seriously working through his glass wall. "Get off the table and sit on a chair," James said angrily, and Barbara was surprised. "Why are you yelling at me? What did I do?" Barabara complained. "Don't ask stupid questions woman, can't you see people can see you?" James said angrily as he sat on his seat behind the desk. Barbara, who had gotten down from the table at his command, turned to look at him behind the desk. "So?" she said and walked towards the sofa and sat down, crossing her legs provocatively. "What is wrong with other people watching you have sex with me? Don't they watch videos? So, what is wrong with watching a live show?" Barbara said calmly. "O dear, this woman has no shame. Of all the girls he has been with, this woman is the worst," James thought. "I sure do know how to pick them," James thought

Julia stood for a while, her gaze alternating between James and the card, and eventually took the card from him. He intentionally brushed her hand with his fingers when she took the card from him, making Julia step backwards. "Thank you," Julia said and was about to leave with her package in hand when James stopped her. "Hey, don't run off, just spare me 10 minutes of your time. I want to talk to you," James said, and Julia remained frozen where she had stopped with her back facing James as she carried her sandwich in a paper bag and her coffee in a cup holder. "I just want to apologize for the last time incident. Please," James pleaded, and Julia turned to face him. "We can talk here," he suggested, pointing to a round table with two chairs inside the cafeteria. Julia nodded and walked towards the table with James following her. James pulled the chair for Julia to sit on and quickly pulled a seat for himself, sitting across her from the table. In Julia's mind, she understood t

"Hello Julia," James said. James closed the door behind him and watched as Julia turned pale. She tried to remain positive even though deep down she felt James had come in with no good intentions. "Hi, what can I do for you?" Julia managed to ask, her voice trembling. James smiled, reading all the signs of fear around her. He strode into the living room and Julia went to the door to open it and realized he had locked the front door. Her heart started racing. James turned around and showed her the keys when he heard her opening the door. "I knew you would do that and make me look bad in the eyes of everyone. That is why I locked the door," James said, and looked around the apartment, leaning against the sofa with his arms folded across his chest. "You know, I like my brother very much for one thing, he loves a serene environment so much that he creates one when the environment naturally doesn't provide him with one," James said with a smirk. "And do you know how he does that?" he

Julia, on the other hand, had remained locked up in the bathroom, clutching the phone in her hand, soaked in sweat and tears. She had still not recovered from what just happened. The guard informed Jason about the damage to the door and the damage done to his bedroom door lock. He went further to inform him Julia was still inside the bedroom. He acknowledged the feedback with a "hmm" and disconnected the call. Jason stood in his hotel room for a while staring at the phone in his hand. When Julia's scream for help came through his phone, his heart skipped multiple beats and the only thing on his mind was how to protect her from harm. He did not expect the attacker to be his brother, but knowing James, that was not surprising. What he didn't quite understand was why their mother supported James's nonsense. "Would he have moved the same way to help any other woman outside his family circle?" Jason thought and the word 'family' rang in his mind. "Family. How does he feel about his fa

James is his brother, and he loves him, but he has crossed the line this time. Someone needed to teach James a lesson, but for the sake of the family, he decided he would let them release him in the morning. He made a decision that James would have to find a different place to stay. The previous day had been very stressful for Jason as he needed to act fast to resolve the issue with the company in Washington. He was able to identify the root cause, and it was fixed. He had to meet his clients who were affected to save the partnership for the business to continue. He had just returned to the hotel to rest when Julia's call came through. He stayed awake to ensure she was okay and proceeded with a flight back to Florida that same hour after everything was settled. He drifted off to sleep. Jason was the first to wake up, and his movement woke Julia up. He got out of bed in silence and went to the bathroom after checking the time. It was an hour past 9 a.m. He returned to the bedroom to

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
