"I said Fiona is pregnant and I know it's for you," Mirenda repeated and James turned white as a sheet behind the wheel. "How did you know?" James asked. "I am with her right now," replied Mirenda. "Are you telling me this in front of her?" questioned James with traces of anger in his voice. "No, I am not with her right now. She is in one of the wards," Mirenda replied. "In a ward, as in a hospital ward?" James asked moving his car from the main road to a safe parking place. "Yes," replied Mirenda. "So it was you that night?" she asked. "What did she expect? She was playing hard to get," James said casually. "Well, you have fathered a child so get ready to take responsibility," Mirenda said to him as she entered the cafeteria. "That is not my thing but help me meet up with her. No one must know about it," James requested. "And why should I help you? What happened to 'asking Mum for help?" Mirenda enquired. "Because I am your brother and you wouldn't want to see me in trouble
"I am pregnant," Fiona said and James stopped in his tracks. James looked around ensuring it was just the two of them and no one else was around. He quickly turned around and holding Fiona's hand dragged her into the apartment. "Stop it, James, you are hurting me," Fiona screamed. "Quiet," James said to her in a stern voice. "Let go of me else I will scream," Fiona threatened. "Scream, like someone will come here and rescue you. Do you know exactly where you are?" James asked opening one of the rooms and throwing her onto the bed. Fiona, who had fallen onto the bed got up and sat on the bed moving away from James who was advancing towards her. "Get away from me," Fiona said sounding terrified. "So this is all it takes to make you lose all your boldness," James said placing one foot on the bed and leaning on it. Fiona pushed further back not realizing she had hit the edge of the bed making her fall over. "Careful there, you don't want to give that bastard inside you a head
"Just like that?" asked Jason making Dr Andesh wonder what he meant by his question. "Yes, your father has searched many years for you and he never gave up hope of finding you," Dr Andesh explained. "The search was a bit difficult when we tried to be discrete about it. You never came to mind even though you have a striking resemblance to Mr Wellington," she added. Jason stared at her in silence with an expressionless look. There was enough distance between them and hence Jason did not have much of a problem with her presence. "We always thought you were Mr Haward's biological son. The day I found out you weren't, you went out of the country," Dr Andesh explained further. "But tell me, what made you come to look for me?" she asked curiously. Jason remained silent as he thought about her question. He was not ready to disclose that to her. "Let's save that for another day. I don't believe you came all the way here to just talk," Jason said. "You are right. You requested an audience
"Hmm," Peter replied and raised his head to meet Julia's gaze. "O shit!" he thought as he looked at her staring back at him with mixed emotions. "You also work here?" Julia asked a bit surprised. "Wait, Jason is here too? Where is Jason?" she asked. Peter opened and closed his mouth and all that came out was 'Errm". "Sir, please you are needed upstairs," informed the receptionist who was placing the receiver back in its place. "Errm, Ms Julia, I have to see my boss right now. I will call you and we can talk," Peter said feeling guilty. Julia stood there saying nothing and watched Peter enter the elevator. She realized she didn't even know anything about who owned the Hotel. She knew Peter's loyalty to Jason and the fact that he would not leave his side. "This could only mean one thing, either Jason works here too or he owns this place," Julia whispered on her lips and turned her gaze to the elevator which was already moving upstairs. She looked at the numbers reading at the
"Jason, you are in love," Henry said with a smile making Jason look in his direction. "Is that what love is?" Jason asked lowering his gaze. "Jason you have a special attraction for this girl. Tell me, do you feel the same when other women are around you?" Henry asked. "No, I still feel uncomfortable but..." Jason began and paused recalling how he felt around Dr Andesh when she exhibited signs of fear. Henry patiently waited for Jason to say what he wanted to say. "The female doctor, I was chatting with her," Jason narrated lifting his gaze to look at Henry. "She got scared and I was no longer uncomfortable like I was when I entered her house," he said. "Think about it, do you think Julia is scared of you all the time?" Henry asked. Jason tried to recall his moments with Julia and realised it was not all the time she was scared. During the period of his scandal, Julia was worried. She was worried about him. "She was worried about me. How did I miss that?" Jason replied. "Mr H
Mrs Haward sat in silence after hearing Mirenda's words and felt a bit of pain in her heart. She hated the man that got her pregnant and her problem with Mirenda is her presence constantly reminded her of that awful night. She shut her eyes briefly and brushed it off. Mrs Haward sat in silence ignoring Mirenda entirely. James entered the living room shortly after Mirenda had left. "Mum, what is going on? Mirenda said something I didn't understand," James asked making Mrs Haward raise her head to look at him. "We wanted her out of the house and now she is out of the house, does it matter what I told her to make her leave?" Mrs Haward asked and James pursed his lips seeing her point. "Now let's get to business. You can move Fiona in. I know how to get rid of the pregnancy," she said. "Sure, I will call her tomorrow," James said. "But where are you keeping Julia?" he asked. "Why? Do you want to replace her pregnancy which you destroyed?" asked Mrs Haward making James raise his brow
Fiona immediately tensed up, James had been to her apartment multiple times. If she turns on her video, he will know she is not at her apartment. "He wants to see me, if I put on my video we are done for it," Fiona informed Vera covering the mouthpiece of the phone ensuring James doesn't hear anything. "Have you taken him to your bathroom before?" Vera asked. "No," Fiona replied as she shook her head in a 'no'. "Good, go to the bathroom, " Vera suggested and Fiona made a beeline for the washroom. "Fiona, can you hear me?" James asked about three times. "I am sorry, I pressed the mute button with my cheeks" Fiona replied and turned on the video. "Wait, where are you?" James asked. "In the bathroom?" Fiona replied quickly sitting on the toilet. "Nice. Are you going to take a shower?" James asked and sat on the bed resting his back on the headboard. "In a couple of minutes?" Fiona replied acting shy. "Can I watch?" James asked with a smile. "Nooo," Fiona answered almos
"Good, gather your men and let's move, the place is heavily guarded" Jason informed him. "Sure" replied the chief of police and the call ended. "You still will such power?" asked Mr Wellington. "Well, the people who know you better always know the truth," Jason replied. "So why didn't you do something about the dragging of your name in the mud?" Mr Wellington asked curiously, just to know Jason more. "Mrs Haward raised me. History will remember me for what I did to the woman who raised me. That is something I didn't want," Jason replied and Mr Wellington nodded. "Dr Andesh was right. You are a man of integrity," Mr Wellington thought with a smile. Jason's phone rang again and it was the chief of police. He answered the call, bringing the phone to his ears. "My men are ready, we move in 10 minutes," the chief of police announced. Jason checked his watch, and it was half an hour to 6 a.m. "Okay," he replied and the call ended. "We are moving now?" Jason informed Mr Wellingt
