Tension

I’m in the state of denial and acceptance, “are my parents really concerned about making me happy or the financial gains for their personal interest.

“Why would he say that I don’t even have a choice? No parent with genuine love will say such to his child.”

While sobbing alone I get a call from Jason, but I’m too nonchalant to pick up, he sends an email and it reads;

“Hey honey, I hope your day went well, we’re having a family gathering tomorrow at lunch, I would love you to be present, I order for you to bond with my family”.

The information keeps me nervous, for a moment because I know being in that environment requires another type of toughness and strength that I’m not prepared for.

“Getting close with Jason, the disgust!, confronting his Madeline, requires courage. Meeting Richard? Well, I guess that’s the only reason I should go, at least to see him again”.

I debate with myself. I am finally concluding on meeting honouring his invitation, if not for anything for Rich

  • No, Jason your friend is hotter   Chapter 25

    My body feels weak. My fingers are locked in cold. My body is shivering. Then I try opening my eyes to understand what is going on. Yet, my eyes spin. But one thing is Bold and unshivering, “The cold eyes of Richard. Staring deep into my soul”“Does my brother know about it?”Ask Richard.“About what?” I reply winking my eyes and rolling my fingers with my vest in a guilty conscience “Molly, you are expecting a baby”“Well, I'm not.”“Molly this isn't a time for denial, you are. The doctor confirmed it to me. And Jason has to know about it as soon as possible”Richard declares, while he's set to turn around to open the door. Maybe he wants to take it upon himself to tell Jason.“The baby is yours!” I spill bluntly. Bowing my head. Maybe I have to admit the truth to him. I guess I can't hide it forever.Richard stands still. Shocked, and in disbelief. “What did you just say, Molly?”“I am carrying your baby Richard.”“That night. That night at the party. You were drunk and weary.

  • No, Jason your friend is hotter   Chapter 24

    Richard is stunned. He's dumbfounded. He feels like power is being taken away from him.“Jason, I don't have a good feeling about this, it is clearly not a good idea. Jason, this isn't good at all. Listen to me, brother.” Richard keeps persuading Jason to see why involving a new investor in Molly’s Dreams is irrelevant and that the particular investor is greedy. Still, Richard is ignorant about the whole situation.“Son, let's go ahead with the signing process. This boy over here isn't ready to see this amazing opportunity staring in our faces. Please, let's go ahead”Madeline continues to belittle Richard in the presence of everyone including his staff. “I guess this is the right time to get everyone stunned,” I mutter, expressing my dark shades, which obviously make me look mysterious. I also wear a mischievous smile. I push against the door heavily. Every eye is on me. The staff, the staged “investor”, Madeline; her eyes are filled with surprise and fear. She's trembling in terr

  • No, Jason your friend is hotter   Chapter 23

    I am caught between doubt, suspicions, secrets, and confusion about how to defend Richard. It's been two months since I eavesdropped on Richard and Madeline's secret conversation about stripping Richard of his rights in Molly Dream’s group of companies. I'm indecisive on saving Richard today. “If I don't act fast, Richard will lose everything he has ever worked for to the vile and dark mother and son” I stare at my reflection in the mirror, gently massaging my tummy, feeling Richard's seed's warmth growing in me. I'm feeling nauseous and extremely weak. Work has been hectic, and Jason is gradually unmasking. But I guess today, he will realise he's not even an inch smarter. “Madeline isn't done plotting, she's still in the business of putting me in my place, which I have to be careful of, but she's the least of my worries at the moment. “I guess she has clocked my smartness, and she's being cautioned” I say, still rubbing my palm around my tummy as gently as I can. Nevertheless

  • No, Jason your friend is hotter   Chapter 22

    The mansion feels like a golden jail, its stillness is more audible than the troubles it obscured. Every glassball wall appears to resound Jason's scarcity, every lustre singing my loneliness. Amanda’s perfume is floating slightly in the corridors, stronger than my own presence in his life.“Though I don't care” I move through the passageways quietly, cautious not to provoke an alert.Jason’s driver is waiting at the gate, his hand on the car door, his expression professional but stiff.“Ma, sir ordered me to drive you anywhere you desire.”I nod my head in disagreement with a tactful beam. “No, thank you, I'll get along. Tell him I must get some air.”The driver isn't relenting because he knows the consequences. “But madam—”“I’ll manage,” I cut in softly, walking past him. I can not allow Jason or anyone else to survey my activities. Today, I need space—distance from Amanda’s shadow, from Richard’s cold indifference, from Madeline’s scheming presence.A cab pulls up, the driver p

    The Sun shining gently in the garden, sprinkling its edges in Gold. The trees glitter with dew while the fountain sings firmly. I'm dressed in red. Richard complimented my beauty the last time I did, so why not? I follow Jason to the garden, while Richard is already sitting, chilling with a glass of red wine, as he awaits us. His sunshades pierce sparks across the sun, and his muscular body surpasses the man holding my hands. “I wish he were Jason"We are all seated while both brothers exchange pleasantries. Again, he's acting like he doesn't see me. But I'm used to that now. I'm acting that too. Jason encores as soon as he notices. “Someone is dressed to kill today” he says with a sneer. ”Richard, doesn't she look like a rose trying to outshine the sun?”Richard's eyes are colourful but heavy, his eyes twitch towards me and reply. “Molly doesn't need the sun, she outshines it already”I chew my lip at his words, heat rising to my face. Jason, oblivious, bursts into laughter.“O

    “Mom, at this point we have to be strategic. This family has a reputation to maintain. Please understand it, do it for me for my sick” Jason continues pleading with his mom, giving her reasons to apologise to her. She keeps protesting against it..“What will people say the Madeline is apologising no no this is a stain on my principles. It stinks my principles. Who did this to me? Who did this to me?” Mother continues wailing again.Madeleine finally decides to yield to Jason’s request. “ OK, Jason I am doing this for you and you alone. That reminds me we haven’t spoken about the updates from the investors when I was sweeping Richard out of the company.?”The moments have been waiting for this here. It’s finally time to talk about Richard.“ Yes Mom, in a month or even less the investors will be in the office without Richard's knowledge. And he will be swept out of the company for good. We just have to exercise patience while we play the game to the end for now. Let’s call for a dwell
