MasukJason P.O.V
I stare at my reflection wondering if I should back out of this event, but I know that it is not in my place to make such a decision. This was a once-in-a-lifetime event where you meet men with standards, with a mixture of wealth and power. Men known to change destinies with just a flick of their fingers. “I can't believe that I have to carry that whore with me,” I muttered, rubbing my forehead…searching for answers that didn't exist.
I stormed to her room and pounded on the door “Brinda! Open up.” I knocked repeatedly.
Silence.
“Ugh! You know what? If you're not ready when it's time to leave, you're on your own, bitch!” I snapped, my voice laced with anger, with clenched fists, struggling to keep myself from exploding, but yet no answer.
I returned to my room, pacing like lion in a cage. What gave her such guts to ignore me? I was Jason Adams. No one ignored me. “I can't believe the mess I got myself into, and I can't wait to get rid of her once she delivers.”
The time struck 9:30 pm, and I knew it was time to put up a fake performance for the crowd at the event.
I stood in front of the mirror, knotted my blue bow tie while adjusting my black jacket with my other hand adjusting my black leather belt.
“I hope this girl is ready because if she isn't, she’ll see another side of me, I swear,” I muttered, storming toward her room.
As I neared her door again, the sound of music slipped through. And her voice — soft, almost haunting — stopped me cold.
I peeked in.
She stood there, brushing her hair back, in a long black maxi gown. A goddess. Dangerous.
My heart skipped. What the hell was that?
“Gosh, Brinda is beautiful, no doubt — but I won't let myself fall for this illusion.” As I made my way downstairs for dinner.
“Good evening, Mr. Jason I prepared your favorite meal, chicken sauce with a side of rice and beef salad to complement the meal,” Mrs Agatha said calmly.
“Thank you, Agatha. I sincerely appreciate all you do,” I said, taking a spoonful. Today was perfect for a meal like this — it brightened my mood.”
“Agatha, call Miss Brinda down this instant. Tell her she has ten seconds — if not, she'll regret it!” I snapped as she dismissed herself.
It didn't take long, and I saw Brinda entering the kitchen wearing a black maxi gown with light makeup and her hair rolled in bun, which was stunning.
Every step she took into the kitchen amazed my eyes, which urged me to compliment her, but I held it within.
“Why the hell do I care how she looks? She's a problem, not a prize. Still… damn.”
“Finally. This is Mrs. Agatha, the housekeeper. If I'm not around, dump your issues on her.” I said sarcastically.
“Mrs. Agatha, meet Brinda — our special guest,” I said, raising the cup of tea in my right hand.
The look she gave me instantly after calling her special was marvelous, but yet I don't know why a part of me still felt it was wrong.
I saw her exchanging pleasantries with Mrs Agatha, who was so homely and unlike the girl I was expecting, but I remained silent.
“Sir, the driver is here,” Mrs Agatha said calmly, and I knew that was my cue to act my part.
— — — — —
Welcome to LA VA business convention, where every prestigious family graces to show off their wealth and attract more wealth.
This was a yearly function, and I knew all eyes would be on me once the lay eyes on her, which I have to caution her before entering the main hall.
“Brinda, just smile and act like we're madly in love. Let me do all the talking — got it?” with a quick tone, but all I got back was a displeased look.
She looked like sin dressed in silk, and that alone could undo me. But I pushed the thought away, focusing on the guests.
As I immediately saw Mr Felix and his colleagues, I knew that it was my cue to make a good impression “Don't leave this spot. I’ll come get you.” My tone was sharp, not up for debate.
She acted indifferent, but I told myself it wasn't my problem.
“Hey!!! Mr Felix, you look so good, and trust me, you always look younger every day,” I said in a respectful manner, and Mr. Felix burst into a hearty laugh.
We all engaged in conversations with some colleagues when I noticed a disturbing stare glaring at me from a corner, which got me feeling uncomfortable when I noticed it was Mrs Cash.
“What the hell is this witch doing at this event, which I know it could only be trouble,” My hands kept fidgeting.
“I’m so sorry, Mr Felix, but I have to excuse myself but would be back soon,” which he gave me a worried look, but I smiled to assure him that everything is under control.
I immediately walked to Brinda to get some answers, only to be nowhere close to the spot I instructed her to stay. “This girl is really getting on my nerves, “Argh,” I muttered, still holding myself together.
I was about to take a step, roaming through the hall for Brinda, when Mr Felix called me to the stage to make a speech.
My hands trembled — something felt off. Still, I forced a smile.
“Good evening everyone, and welcome to the annual LA VA business convention. My name is Jason Adams, and I'm so pleased to see you all gracing this wonderful event hosted by our very own Mr Felix the owner of the Flip oil and gas,” and the crowd erupted into applause at the mention of Mr. Felix.
Before I could continue, the speaker screeched with feedback — then came moans. Loud. Filthy. Raw. My voice, hers— on repeat.
Gasps. Murmurs. Laughter.
I stood frozen.
“Turn it off! Shut it down now!” I barked, but the damage was done.
Everyone looked at me with so much disgust when the audio got louder of me having sex with a woman with different angles of moaning pouring out.
People began murmuring to each other about how I was such a big disgrace, while others used their phones to record the horrific night that shattered me.
The media personals couldn't disconnect it, which made me dash out of the stage, running through the hall like a defeated man.
“How dare she do this to me, especially at an event like this ran a hand through my hair in frustration?
“How would I explain to Mr Felix about this disgraceful act, and I have toiled day and night waiting for this moment now ruined?”
I reached into my pocket for my phone, scrolling through, hoping to end this once and for all.
I never meant for it to reach this stage, but she has left me no choice my mind kept venting when the caller picked the call.
“She humiliated me. She tore my reputation apart. I built my empire brick by brick — so yes, end her. No traces.” Which I cut the line immediately to avoid suspicious eyes.
You played dirty.
Now I’ll play darker.
Thank you all for engaging In my book📖😩😘
Brinda’s P.O.V“Hospital?” I repeated, my voice shaking.The pharmacist didn’t soften his expression.“Yes. Immediately.”My chest tightened.Immediately.Like I had that kind of option.“I…” my lips trembled. “I don’t have that kind of money.”He didn’t respond immediately.And that silence?It made everything worse.“Please,” I said quickly, my voice breaking as I held my baby closer. “There has to be something else. Anything. I just… I just got here. I don’t have a job yet. I don’t have anyone—”“You’re wasting time,” he cut in, his tone firm.My heart dropped.“I’m not trying to waste time,” I said, panic rising in my chest. “I’m trying to save my baby.”His jaw tightened slightly.“Then take her to the hospital.”“I can’t!” I snapped, my voice louder than I intended.People turned to look at me.I didn’t care.
Brinda's P.O.V I didn’t know how I got back to the motel.My legs moved.My body walked.But my mind?It was somewhere else.Every “no” I heard today echoed in my head like a curse.No.No.No.I pushed the door open and stepped inside slowly, closing it behind me with a soft click.Silence.The kind that felt heavy.I stood there for a few seconds, just staring at nothing.“…This isn’t how I thought today would go,” I whispered.My baby shifted slightly in my arms.I looked down at her.Her tiny face was calm.Peaceful.Like the world wasn’t already trying to break us.“I tried,” I murmured.“I really tried.”I walked to the bed and sat down slowly, placing her gently beside me.“I thought… maybe someone would just give me a chance.”A small laugh escaped my lips.
Brinda’s P.O.VThe knock came again.Sharp.Loud.My heart jumped straight to my throat.I froze where I sat, my baby still in my arms, her tiny body warm against mine.“Who… who is it?” I whispered, my voice barely coming out.No response.Just silence.My grip tightened around her.This wasn’t right.No one was supposed to know I was here.No one.My heart started racing.What if they found me?What if—Another knock.Slower this time.Deliberate.I swallowed hard.“Okay…” I whispered to myself. “Okay…”I couldn’t just sit here forever.I carefully placed my baby on the bed, adjusting the blanket around her.“Mommy will be right back,” I murmured softly, brushing my fingers against her cheek.She stirred slightly but didn’t wake.I stood up slowly, my legs sti
Jason’s POV I didn’t move and I couldn’t.The note was stil in my hand slightly crumpled from how tightly I had been gripping it.My eyes stayed fixed on the words like if I read them enough times… they would change.They didn’t.“Goodbye… forever.”The words echoed in my head like curse.“No…” I whispered under my breath.“This doesn’t make sense.” My chest tightened again.She wouldn’t leave like this.Not Brinda. Not after everything. Not after what we just… built.“She was scared,” I muttered, pacing slowly.“That’s all. She was scared.”But even as I said it, something inside me refused to believe it.Brinda was many things.Broken.Guarded.Stubborn.But she wasn’t a coward.She wouldn’t run without a reason.So what happened?My jaw clenched.“What aren’t you t
Brinda's P.O.V The taxi slowed to a stop in front of a dimly lit building.I lifted my head slowly and looked through the window.A cheap motel.The sign flickered weakly, half the letters barely working.For a moment… I just stared at it.This was it.“Ma’am,” the driver said gently.I blinked and turned to him.“We’re here.”“Oh…” I swallowed. “Thank you.”He hesitated, his eyes studying me through the mirror.“You sure you’re alright?”“The question caught me off guard and for a second, I almost laughed.”“Alright?” I muttered.“I had just run away from my life, nearly got killed, gave birth, left the man I loved and landed in a strange city with a new born baby and no plan.”But instead, I forced a small nod.“I’m fine.”The lie came out too quickly.Too easily.He didn’t look convinced.“You
Brinda’s POV The plane doors opened and the first breath of unfamiliar air hit my face. Cold.Sharp.Real.For a moment I just stood there, clutching my baby closer to my chest while the other passengers moved past me with their bags and chatter. Everyone seemed to know where they were going.Everyone except me.“Ma’am?” the flight attendant said gently. “We’ve landed.”“I… yes.” I forced my feet to move.One step.The another.Each step down the narrow aisle felt heavier than the last, like the weight of everything I had left behind was pressing against my chest.Jason.The thought of his name alone made my throat tighten painfully.I swallowed hard.Not now.Not here.I stepped out of the plane and into the airport terminal, my baby shifting softly in my arms.Her tiny fingers curled against the blanket wrapped around h
Jason P.O.VTears streamed down my eyes at the thought of losing my brother.I kept pacing thinking about how my life could be broken.“I know that we both have so many misunderstandings, baby brother, but please don't leave me in this cruel world.” I kept on dwelling while going back and forth hop
Brinda's P.O.V“I can't believe that this is me, Sofie.” I said, staring at my face in the mirror as she applied finishing touches on my face.I kept touching my face, admiring the sophisticated woman staring back at me. I never believed a day would finally come that I actually dress like this.“Pr
Jason P.O.V “Arhhg, I feel so stupid right now because give me a reason why I almost broke my hand for a woman,” I thought while getting out of bed. I looked at my bandaged hand and I could still feel the impact of yesterday’s pains all over. “I really need to get out of this house if I want to
Jason P.O.V I can't get her scent out of my memories but I knew it was for the best. I wanted her, but that side of me? It's locked— buried where no one touches.I fastened my jet black tie while glaring at how perfect my biceps look on this suit which is topnotch. “Mmm… what's that amazing arom
