“Yes, I am,” Jason said, cool as ice. “She’s clearly lying.”Tasha's eyes flared. Did he know what he was even saying? How dare he call her a liar? She grinded her teeth.“I’m not lying!” She turned to her boyfriend, clutching his arm “Babe, are you really gonna let him call me a liar?” she asked him. Tasha's voice dripped with challenge, daring Stephen, her black belt in martial arts boyfriend, to step up and restore her bruised pride.Brooke stepped in, arms crossed, chin high. “He’s out of line. You don’t talk to Tasha like that.”Helen added. “We should have you kicked out of here. “Honestly you give off psycho energy! Who invited this creep? I swear, this is not a fancy event anymore, how could it be, when they invite the likes of him!”The two boyfriends, Ernie and Stephen, locked eyes with Jason, puffing out their chests, as if they were ready to throw down. Actually, they were ready to throw down for real, because Jason was a creep who was stalking their girlfriends.Their m

Tasha stiffened, caught off guard by his anger. However she didn't think he was being unreasonable for being angry right now. After all, even she now realized what a grave mistake it was, trying to disrespect Jason. Her mouth opened, then closed. She looked at Jason, shame visible in her eyes.“I’m sorry,” she muttered, barely able to meet his gaze. “I was wrong about you.”Brooke also did the same. “I judged you without knowing anything. That was wrong. I’m sorry.”Selene shot her step sibling an angry look silently commanding she apologise to Jason. Helen wasn't planning to do that. However with selene's cold gaze, she felt compelled to do so. She groaned, rolled her eyes, and threw her hands up. “Ugh, fine. I’m sorry, okay? Happy now?”Unlike the others, Helen didn’t fear Jason, not even now. In fact, she feared him less. If he was Selene’s friend, then he wouldn’t hurt her. Not when she was Selene’s sister. Step-sister, sure, but still family.Jason knew the apology was far from

“Caspian Montgomery?” Bryce muttered, recognizing the business mogul. Caspian was a famous man with great influence, and so everyone, not only in Vanessa’s circle but in the whole event, recognized who he was, hence their surprise to see him ask to speak with Vanessa alone. Did Vanessa’s family have any business relationship with the Montgomery family? That was the question among many others, that was in their minds.The smiles faded. The group fell silent, exchanging glances before slowly muttering excuses and walking away, leaving Vanessa alone with Caspian.Vanessa waited for her former highschool mates to leave, and then she turned to Caspian, her expression tight. “Mr. Montgomery, can I help you?”Caspian gave a faint smile. “I will not take up too much of your time,” he said casually.“Sure. What do you want?” Judging by her no nonsense voice, Vanessa didn’t sugarcoat her dislike for Caspian.Why would she?Pretending had never been her thing. And she wasn’t about to start no

Vanessa stared at him with uncertainty in her eyes. Well, she didn't believe him, simply because she knew Jason was not at the level to deal with people like Caspian Montgomery. Not even the smith family was. What could Jason possibly do against a man like that? Caspian’s influence and pull was not to be ignored here. He had a reach of influence so great even the president of the country listened to him. She sighed, assuming Jason was letting his pride get in the way of his judgement, “Jason you….”“What is this?” Someone spoke before Vanessa could finish her sentence.It was her mom, who stood In Front of her with Cassira and Marvin. Seraphina wore a look of pure disdain, understandable, in her mind. Jason, that insolent nobody, had the nerve to show up at this event and stand near her daughter, even after she’d made it clear their engagement was over.“Vanessa, why did you invite him here? Now he is going to embarrass us.” She of course referred to Jason as she spoke.Jason loo

“I would step away from me, if I were you.” That was Jason's last warning, quiet, measured, and laced with finality. It was the kind of threat that didn’t need to be shouted, because everyone with even a little bit of common sense would get that. But Marvin, in this moment, was utterly devoid of any common sense. In short, his ego and the desire to impress Vanessa, her mom and aunt, by humiliating Jason crowded his judgement He forced a scoff, and straightened his shoulders. Flashing a smile, he said. “You really are full of yourself, Wolfe,” he sneered, loud enough for everyone to hear. “You think you can scare me? If it wasn't for Vanessa feeling pity for you and dating you, you would be on the street.” Jason didn’t react. Didn’t move. But his patience was starting to slip. He really didn’t want to make a scene here. He was thinking he probably was going to have to do something extreme to get Marvin to shut up, and he didn't want to do that. The reason? He was here to meet
