"You are the stolen child of the Coopers," announced the old man and both Jason and Benjamin looked at the man surprised. "What are you talking about Dad? What stolen child? Jason was adopted by Mr Haward, do you not remember?" Benjamin asked the old man, who he had earlier introduced as his father. "Sorry J, my dad is old and sick. He doesn't have a sharp memory anymore and sometimes says things that don't make sense," Benjamim said to Jason as he tried to send his father back to his room. "Mr Haward adopted you from the Coopers who abandoned you after stealing you, a month-old baby from your real family?" said the old man who refused to leave despite Benjamin's attempts to send him away. "What?" reacted Jason with a frown and also wondered how long his friend Benjamin had known he was adopted hearing the statement made by Benjaimin earlier about him. "Dad, please, let me take you inside," Benjamin persuaded and turned to Jason. "Don't take it seriously I am sure he had mistaken
"He misses her," Peter thought and smiled as Jason exited his room. Jason returned to his room, closed the door shut and leaned behind it. He pulled his phone out of his pocket, unlocked the screen and went into his gallery, opening Julia's picture and staring at the image for a while before closing it. Meanwhile, at the same time in another location in Florida, Julia had just returned home exhausted from her job hunt. "Welcome home Ms Harrison," said Mary upon seeing Julia enter the apartment. "Thank you, Mary," Julia said, changing her shoes into her house slippers. Julia walked straight into the kitchen and opened the fridge grabbing herself a bottle of water. Her phone vibrated and she remembered she had not checked her phone the whole day. She fetched her phone from her bag as she responded to the housekeeper's question about how her day went. She unlocked her phone screen and saw a message from her bank. She quickly searched through her messages after checking her call lo
Dr Andesh's eyes widened but she quickly composed herself sipping some more coffee to cover up. Unfortunately for her Jason had already seen her reaction to confirm she knew something. Jason took off his cap and the sunshade spectacles he was wearing. His face was now in clear view and his features more prominent. "I found out not long ago, the family I grew up in adopted me from the Coopers. Trying to find my family, I also found out, the Coopers family name was a fake identity used by Steve Strong and Debbie Fynn to move me out of Califonia to Florida where they gave me up for adoption to the family I grew up with," Jason explained further and Dr Andesh sipped some more coffee taking in every inch of him. "My purpose here is to confirm the rest of the story. I need to know the rest of the story. Who am I?" Jason asked looking at her coldly. Dr Andesh placed her cup back on the table and realize Jason had not touched his. "You don't like coffee?" she asked buying herself some
"Jaaaaaaaassssson," Julia called out to him and broke down in tears holding her chest. Jason shut his eyes as they were quickly filled with tears threatening to fall. Her voice did not just enter his ears, but it pieced his heart with a thousand needles. "Are you alright?" asked the driver with concern as he saw Jason's discomfort in the rear-view mirror. "Mind your business and drive," Jason said, fuming with anger. Jason was not entirely sure what was happening to him. He didn't have control of himself, and he did not know what was causing this. He decided he needed to see Henry, but first, he needed to complete the next task he set out to accomplish for the day. He dropped off at a car dealing company and walked in. He was going to set up his own company, and he would need a ride for his rounds. The statement made by Benjamin's father got to him. He wanted to know his true identity and now he does. "Sir, what kind of car do you wish to buy?" came the voice of one of the attend
Henry turned to look at James hearing the statement he had just made and was surprised to see him smiling after making such a statement. James was still looking straight at Jason, who appeared to be busy with his guests. His disguise was perfect but James, Mirenda and Henry had known him for a long time to be fooled by a disguise. "Did you know it was Jason who sent the invitation?" Mirenda asked looking at Henry. "No, the invitation had the name of the hotel and one Peter on it," Henry replied and Mirenda responded with a 'hmm'. "Anyway, we are here so let's go inside," Henry said with a smile happy to see his patient and friend bounce back irrespective of what happened with the Hawards'. "Err, you guys go ahead I have another business elsewhere. Very important," James said and walked away from the venue as he was not ready to face Jason. Even though he didn't know about Julia's miscarriage as a result of his attack on her, he knew Jason would have found out by now what he did
"I need to do something and fast too," she thought and sat down to think In the home of the Hawards, everyone was having trouble sleeping. Mirenda tossed and turned unhappy about how she meant very little to her own mother. She sometimes wondered if probably just like Jason she was also adopted. "If I am adopted, I need to know," she thought lying on her side on the bed. James knows Jason too well when it comes to dealing with offences. He may be the eldest among the three but Jason does not care about age when dealing with offences. He was sure, sooner or later, Jason will come for him for what he did to Julia. He didn't care before but now he does, seeing that Jason is rising again. If Jason becomes powerful, he will end up in prison. The story was no different in Mrs Haward's room. She had made Julia transfer all the Haward property to her. If Jason gets to know this was done under some sort of duress, he would claim everything back. She knows the two are separated now. "I
"Time for better Media attention. Better than the one we have here," Mrs Haward said reading the news on the amazing newly opened hotel which appears to be doing so well. The very next day, Julia got ready and left for the hotel for her interview. She arrived at the hotel premises 30 minutes earlier and was received by the head waiter. He led her into a room where he offered her a seat. The interview went well and he offered Julia the job on the spot. "You can start tomorrow," the head waiter announced to her and Julia smiled. "I will have everything you need ready by then," he added and Julia thanked him before exiting the room as the man walked her towards the main exit of the hotel. That was the statement she had been waiting to hear for a long time. Even though it didn't come with the kind of job she had hoped for it made her smile. She thanked the man again and exited the building. Meanwhile, on the 10th floor, Jason had watched the entire interview of Julia inside his offic
"Ms Mirenda...." the security man yelled Mirenda's gaze fell on the truck which was coming towards her briefly before her eyes were blinded by the truck's light. Her hands flew to cover her face as she screamed her lungs out. Unable to move from her spot. She was expecting to feel her body take a hit but she rather felt a gust of wind as she fell to the ground on her side. She could still hear the sound of the truck as it drove past and the last honking of the truck. "Ms Mirenda, are you okay?" came the security man's voice who was crossing the street over to her side. Mirenda lay on the ground for a while trying to recover from the incident. She could hear a lot of voices around her and someone screaming her name but one statement travelled to her ears. "On no, she is bleeding," came a female voice. "Someone call 911," came another female voice. Mirenda tried to get up and was quickly assisted by the security man who was standing above her. She was fine and not bleeding. A lit
