Jason saw the worry in her eyes and he had to ask about it. “Hey, are you worried about Caspian Montgomery? Don't worry, he'll not do anything, I promise you.” He said carefree. The way he said that, made Vanessa want to trust him. However she was not naive to think that was possible, because at the the end of the day, Jason was still useless when it came to this.She shot him a look and said, “Save your promises for someone else.” She looked ahead and said, “I'll handle this on my own, and please don't offend the Montgomery family anymore.” They entered the car. Vanessa sat on the driver's seat and Jason besides her on the seat. The Benz purred to life and rolled out of the estate.Jason watched the road for a moment, then turned to her. “You said you’ll handle it. Mind telling me how?”“I don’t know yet,” she muttered. “I’m still thinking.”“Alright.” He leaned back, arms crossed, eyes forward. Then, after a pause, “How’s the situation with Smith Royale?”She didn’t answer right
Jason and Vanessa made their way toward the exit, heels clicking against marble, their pace unhurried, until a shadow stepped into their path.Caspian Montgomery stood squarely before the grand doors, blocking the way with deliberate menace. His face was a sculpture of cold fury, his eyes burning with the promise of retribution.He didn’t speak to Jason and Vanessa. He didn’t have to announce himself because his presence loomed like a stormcloud threatening to break.Vanessa stopped, ice settling over her features. No flicker of emotion, no hint of fear. Just that usually, glacial calm.Jason sighed, low, almost bored. The easy swagger he’d worn with Bryce evaporated. He was already tired of seeing this old man's face. Vanessa didn’t move. She stared Caspian down with steady eyes, but inside, her nerves bristled. The satisfaction from moments earlier bled away, replaced by a quiet unease that twisted in her gut.Jason tilted his head. “You again? What do you want?” His voice was flat
The way Bryce tried to humiliate Jason in front of everyone grated on her nerves more than she cared to admit — and it showed her exactly what kind of man he really was.“So that’s it, huh? You’re throwing our whole friendship away over him? Wow… just wow.” Bryce didn't hide how offended he was. Well, of course he would be offended. After all, Vanessa had just exposed his lie and chosen Jason over him. And it was so humiliating, now everyone was glaring at him disdainfully. “I'll get out of your face Vanessa, but you will regret ending our friendship one day. I….”“Please,” Jason interjected, his voice low and firm, cutting off Bryce's pathetic threat. He stepped slightly in front of Vanessa, his gaze fixed on Bryce. “Just respect my fiancée’s wishes. Or else, I might have to take things into my own hands.”Bryce glared at Jason, his eyes burning with a mix of impotent fury and fresh humiliation. But the dangerous glint in Jason’s eyes, coupled with the weight of the surrounding star
It was no secret at this point that Bryce was very much interested in Vanessa, and it had annoyed him to see that she was engaged to someone. However, now that he understood what was going on, he didn't hesitate to call Jason out for taking the girl of his dreams. Yet again, the lively crowd was drawn to Bryce's loud voice. And hearing what he just said about Vanessa Smith's engagement to Jason, some could not restrain themselves from commenting.“He has her trapped in a contract? What kind of loser does that?” a woman in a sleek green dress whispered behind her glass of wine, her voice laced with incredulity and amusement.“The kind that knows he can’t keep a woman like Vanessa Smith,” another replied with a dry chuckle. “He’s insecure. Has to legally bind her just so she doesn’t leave. Pathetic.”A man with slicked-back hair added. “Bryce was right to get in his face. If that was my friend being strong-armed into an arranged engagement like that? Please. I’d have done much worse th
At this point, Caspian had already given up trying to kill Jason. Blaine was the best of the best he could find, and if even him couldn't handle Jason, then he didn't know what the hell this Jason Wolfe was.In truth it was now almost impossible to kill Jason like he wanted. And that scared Caspian, but not enough to make him want to back off. After some thinking, he figured that he could just get his revenge by hurting the ones close to Jason.Hearing Caspian's shameless words, Jason finally showed his anger for the first time.Jason rarely showed emotions, however this time he showed it. “Dare to touch them,” his voice was a low, dangerous rumble, “and I will end you.”A shiver ran down caspians spine after he heard those words from Jason. He was smart enough to realize that he was not dealing with some average Joe. Caspian gritted his teeth, his grip tightening. Across the crowded room, at a bar, Jason raised his head. Their eyes met, a silent promise of destruction passing betwe
Blaine's hand was as quick as a viper as he went for Jason's throat with his fist, while a hidden blade flickered from his sleeve, aimed for the heart. Jason moved, not with panic, but with a fearless and fluid elegance that seemed to anticipate every move. He effortlessly moved from Blaine’s grasp, the blade missing his chest by… not even closeA heavy thud echoed in the quiet corridor as Jason's elbow connected sharply with Blaine's jaw. The assassin staggered, momentarily disoriented, but recovered just in time. His eyes now blazed with a professional, dangerous focus. This wasn't going to be easy, he could tell.“Fuck! You're skilled! It looks like I've underestimated you.” Blaine remarked, a cold grin spreading across his lips.“But you still have to die!” He declared, and then he launched a series of calculated strikes, a flurry of fists and kicks designed to incapacitate. But Jason was holding back. He parried, blocked, and dodged, his movements effortless and precise. He d
