Woke up married Chapter 62: Julia's true identity
Mrs Haward was smiling ear to ear as she went through one headline after the other, moving from one media platform to another. "This is what you can do with money and power," Mrs Haward said laughing. "Mirenda, my dear, you see what power can do? When you have power, no one can ride over you and when you have money, you get all the respect you want," she added. "I see. So you mean with money and power you bully others and get away with murder," Mirenda commented. "Girl, you better watch your mouth. Who murdered who? Silly girl," Mrs Haward yelled at Mirenda angrily. "James murdered Fiona and you are covering it up," Mirenda replied, unfazed. "Mirenda, how dare you," Mrs Haward said, looking at her furiously. "Mum, you always defend him even when you know he is wrong. I pity my brother when I see him. He is what he is now because you raised him like that. I don't care what Jason did, but he is ten times a better person than James, and I would prefer one Jason in our family tha

He got up from the sofa and stared at her, lifting her head with the tip of his finger to look at her face. He saw the tears in her eyes and it broke his heart. He didn't know why, but he lowered his head and kissed her, making Julia respond with tears. It further broke his heart and he hugged her tightly even though he didn't know what to say to her. "Please don't leave me," Julia whispered in her tears as they broke away from the kiss. "I am not going to," Jason replied, and Julia hugged him making Jason wonder why she would think that but he felt it was not the right time to ask. "Do you still want to go grocery shopping?" Jason asked, after hugging Julia for a while and she nodded in a yes before breaking away from the hug and exiting the room with Jason staring at her back. Peter saw Julia come out of the room with a red face and red eyes. Obviously, she had cried. "Hey, what happened?" Peter inquired with concern. Julia could not speak but shook her head in a 'no' befor

Jason walked towards Julia and stood next to her. He pulled her into his arms, and she collapsed on his chest, breaking down in tears. Jason rubbed her back gently trying to calm her down, first before asking her what the problem was. Jason led Julia to the sofa. They both sat down, and he made her rest on him. After a while, Julia was calm and was resting her head on Jason's lap as he ran his fingers gently through her thick wavy hair. Jason may be cold inside out and has grown to be worse with the recent incident of being rejected by the people he once believed were his family, but he does care about her. "Do you want to talk about it?" Jason asked, still running his fingers through Julia's hair gently. "I miss my mum," Julia replied and covered her face with her hands sobbing. Jason rubbed her shoulders to calm her down. Pulling her up, he carried her in his arms and walked towards the bed. He laid her on the bed gently where she would be more comfortable and climbed into bed

Julia was thinking about her mother while Jason was thinking of what to do with the information he had while waiting for the report on his second investigation request. The night to Sunday morning felt like forever for both of them as they pretended to be sleeping. Julia's alarm went off, and she quickly put it off, not wanting to disturb Jason, whom she assumed to be sleeping. She dragged her out of bed and took her shower before going out of the bedroom to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. She felt a little dizzy while making breakfast, but that went away as quickly as it came. After setting the table, she decided to visit a nearby church to pray since it was a Sunday. Sometime back she had prayed to God for something and she got it. They need God in this messy situation of a perfect pretense that everything is going well. "Please tell Jason I will be back shortly," Julia said to Peter, who had just entered the dining area from his room. "Won't you have breakfast first?" inqu

Julia's eyes were going around the room, trying to understand where she was and why. She pushed herself to sit up on the bed. Her eyes quickly moved towards the direction of the door when she heard a door creaking sound, and it was followed by the door opening slowly. She kept her gaze on the door, wondering who was going to enter. The door flew open, and a familiar figure entered the room, closing the door and standing in front of it. Julia gasped in shock and pushed herself backwards on the bed. She fell to the floor as she failed to notice the full length of the bed. "Hello Julia, I told you I would find you and I did," came James's voice. "I am a man of my word," he added. "Please let me go," Julia begged, recalling what James had done to her the times he had found her alone. "Awww, why do you want to leave so soon? I just got here," teased James. "Hey, don't you want to experience another superhero scene?" he teased and walked towards her. Still, on the floor, Julia pushed

James was sitting on the floor with a gun in hand, pointing at Jason. Jason stopped in his truck and raised his hand in surrender. James, still pointing the gun at Jason, stood to his feet cleaning the blood coming from his broken nose with the back of his free hand. "Now, you will do exactly as I say, else you will die here, and your body will be found tomorrow with a bullet between your eyes," James warned, and Jason only stared at him coldly. "You are going to untie Julia from the bed and tie her hands behind her back. Put that jacket hanging there over her and push her to me," he instructed. Jason stood there still with his hands in the air with no attempt to do as James said. "Did you hear me? Move now," James yelled, and Jason turned towards the bed Julia was lying on like he was about to go carry James's orders but, in his turn, he quickly delivered a kick to James's hand with his back facing James and spun around to take a stand facing James. The gun flew into the sky

Jason ended the call and turned to look at Julia, who had finally managed to fall asleep. He sat on the sofa watching her. Back in Mr Dickson's apartment, he was returning to the living room after getting himself a glass of wine when his phone rang. He quickly answered the call. "Yes," he said. "Sir, I couldn't get to Ms Harrison, but she is safe now," reported the man. "Who saved her?" Mr Dickson asked. "She lives with some two gentlemen, they came to her rescue," the man reported. "Okay, go back to our initial plan," Mr Dickson said and ended the call, assuming the rescuers included her husband and probably her husband's relative. He sat down on the sofa and continued to watch his favourite game on TV knowing Julia was safe now. Back in Jason's apartment, Jason draw the curtains as it was already late. They had only returned home with her a few minutes ago after rescuing her from James. If not for the tracking device Jason had put on her diamond earring, they wouldn't hav

"Do it now," Jason commanded and Mr Dickson grabbed his phone and dialled the number of the guy he asked to spy on Julia. "Put it on loudspeaker," Jason commanded coldly. Mr Dickson, quickly obliged, putting the call on speaker. "Hello sir," came the voice of the spy. "Have you found Ms Harrison?" Mr Dickson asked trying to sound normal. "Kind of," the spy replied. "My contact tells me the car with the specifications I gave you was seen around the airport," he added. Jason left the office immediately without a word. Mr Dickson was more relaxed when Jason left his office "Follow them," Mr Dickson said, ended the call and stood there wondering if he should still keep Jason as his deputy as he tried to recover from Jason's dangerous move on him just now. He thought about all the achievements the company had made since Jason joined and wondered if it would be a good idea to terminate him because of what just happened. Thinking about it, he knew he would have reacted in the same

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.
Woke up married Chapter 162: Let Him Go
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
