Amber walked into the kitchen, she placed Jason's order and a couple of others more on the board."One hot chocolate and a meat pie for table 12," she said without looking back.Amber's voice invaded her thoughts as she worked, she couldn't bring herself to call her name. She stood by her when she first just got to Bana, helped her emotionally and mentally. She couldn't believe she let Daniel's case cause a rift between them.She was more determined to apologize, anything that happens after that, she would take the full responsibility for it. On the other hand, she was pretty sure Jason was causing hell of a scene outside, knowing who the kind of person he was.She diverted her thoughts back to Amber, thinking of ways she could make it work."Amber," she called out in a small voice, loud enough for Amber to hear.Amber turned to the familiar voice, her expression was blank. Cara's heart sunk, she doesn't know how to start apologizing."Is the hot chocolate ready?""Oh uhmmmm, I'll hav
CHAPTER 19: YAAAY DADDYShe raised her finger to his eye level, seething with anger.She said, "If you think you can use my son against me, as a way of getting back into my life, you joke big time.""I am not that insensitive," his eyes held so much emotion he couldn't say. "I say the truth, Cara. I swear, Mason is my son.""You lie," she suddenly screamed. "You lie so much."The manager had cleared the rest of the customers from the restaurant seeing that it was an important talk and Cara wouldn't bulge about following him anywhere."I know you are hurt, I know you are in pain but please try to remember. Remember that night you came back home from the office feeling happy about how you dealt with your ex."After some time she fell to the seat she stood up from, everything came rushing back to her suddenly. Her tears poured and she completed the memory he was trying to make her remember."We had a drink together. I kept requesting for more and from there I got drunk. We had sex that n
CHAPTER 20: 2 MENCynthia laid in bed surfing the internet. The past couple days have become hectic with Adrian on her neck, Jason nowhere to be found and Jackson relaxing her mind about helping her.She switched between Instagram to Twitter, finding her way straight to the 'trends for you'.She sat up straight and looked twice. Jason Pierce caught her attention, he was trending on twitter.She quickly clicked on one of the posts and rushed to the media section.The caption read: 'Can't believe I'm seeing Jason Pierce in person. I'm so excited.'A picture was attached to the post. Jason was smiling in the picture, his hair was packed and he was talking to a waitress.Another one read: 'Jason Pierce in Bana, this is so good to be true.'She got off twitter and rang Jackson up immediately."This better be good, woman," he spoke into the phone immediately."I found where Jason is. He's in Bana.""That's good. Leave the rest for me, I'll handle it," the call dropped and Cynthia heaved a s
CHAPTER 20: MY WOMANFlashbackDaniel's naked body laid unashamedly on the bed, he slept near a naked blonde haired lady with extremely heavy makeup.She chewed her gum loudly and pressed her phone."I heard Jason Pierce is here in Bana," she said whilst pressing her phone."Are you joking? If he was here in Bana, she would have called me."She pushed her phone forward to his sight. "See." An entertainment channel that featured billionaires and top important people in the country had carried the news.It read: 'Jason Pierce, son of Jackson Pierce, a billionaire is said to be in Bana. A small town where everybody knew everyone, he was seen in Mary's Eatery early this morning having a hot chocolate and a snack.'Daniel jumped from the bed after reading the news, a picture of Jason, smiling was attached to the news article.His phone rang at the same hour, the call he dreaded picking was the same one calling.He picked up after the third ring after hesitating.The caller's voice boomed f
He tried touching her but she flinched, scared of what he might do to her."Hey Cara, it's me. It's me Jason, I would never hurt you, I swear," his voice became gentle as much as it could."W-Where's my son? Where's Mason?" She turned around frantically, searching all over the room."He pushed my baby away, he kicked him," she continued with whimpers in her voice. "Where's Mason?" Her voice raised a notch.Jason tried to soothe her but it wasn't doing the trick. "Mason is fine, Mason is fine, believe me Cara. I'm so sorry I let this happen to you.""Bring him to me, let me see him. I want to see him."Jason, seeing that she wouldn't let him touch her until she sees her son, rushed out to get Mason from the car.On sighting her son, she sprinted and grabbed onto him tight.Her left eye was swollen and red, the flesh around it covered up the eye, making it difficult for her to see clearly.She wrapped him in her embrace, crying."I'm so sorry baby, mummy is so sorry that she let this ha
Jason walked into his hotel room in the early hours of the morning, tired and confused. He fell to the bed without flipping the light switch on.It's been less than a week or more since he left New York, his mind drifting to Alexander. How happy will he be knowing his daughter is well, literally not well but close enough.He picked his phone up and called him."Sir Alexander, good morning. Sorry to have woken you up," he said.The gruffly voice of Alexander echoed into the phone. "What do you want, Jason?""I just thought to check on you and also talk to you about Cara.""Easy there child, stay away from Cara. If you ever see her, stay away from her life."Jason dropped the phone to his line of sight."Sir? What do you mean? I promised to find her for you and-""My child wouldn't want to be with a married man, if you will excuse me, I need to go back to sleep."Jason sighed, thinking about what just happened. He had no idea various posts about him had blown social media up.The only p
Amber took a break from work, calling in sick. She stayed with Cara throughout the day, trying to make her laugh and play. Cara would flinch unconsciously without anyone touching her. She would mumble in her sleep, sometimes crying out loud. Amber watched her friend suffer from trauma, there was little to nothing that she could do."Come on Cara, remember our favorite TV show? Keeping up with the Kardashians? It's going on right now, let's go."She looked at Amber, the swells on her face were reducing and her bruises healed fast."Where's Jason?" She spoke up after a long time. "I want to see him. He saved my life, saved me from that monster."Jason had texted Amber on his way back to New York, explaining all that transpired. He begged her not to tell Cara about him leaving."Jason went for some work, he promised to be back as soon as possible.""You are lying Amber, he has left again, right?" Tears formed in her eyes, ready to unleash the dam in her eyes.Amber warmed her up in her e
The huge house could be compared to a graveyard; silent, still and motionless. The news Jackson bore the other day affected him, he wondered if it would still be fair calling him his friend.Right from their early days, they managed to build their wealths and promised their kids to one another. And when suddenly, they heard Jason and Cara got married, their heart knew no bounds. The sudden wedding was alarming and they didn't get angry, instead they were fulfilled.Now it was all him, left alone with no child to call his one. His anger raged as he remembered the last time Jason visited, promising to find his girl for him."Sir Alexander," his closest help, Ethan dragged him back to the surface."Yes?" He leapt from his chair forward. "What can I do for you?""Sir, it's Jason Pierce. He requests to speak with you.""Where is he? On the phone?""Not at all sir, he's in the waiting room. Should I let him in?"Alexander weighed his options carefully, seeing him would only confirm what Jac
