Dusk was drawing near and Cara was still nowhere to be found, both men paced up and down the road while Amber sat with Mason, eating ice cream with him."Aunty Amber, what's wrong with daddy and Uncle Evans?""Daddy and Uncle Evans are waiting for mummy. Mummy should be here by now but we don't know why she's not here and it is making everybody worried.""But you don't look worried and you are also sitting with me, eating ice cream," he said innocently."Because I'm not wearing it on my face doesn't mean I'm not worried."Jason brought out his cellphone, trying to ring her line again. Same story, it went straight to voicemail."Is it going through already?" Evans asked with concerns laced in his voice."Not at all, I wonder why her phone will decide not to go through now. Of all days," Jason said."I have an idea, let me go up to the management and see if they can find any details on the flight," Evans suggested. "Stay with Amber and Mason, I'll be back soon."Evans left and Amber sto
He shook hands with the man just outside his home, his sleeves still rolled up and his hair packed flung everywhere with the haste he walked with."Thank you so much for meeting me at such an ungodly hour Barrister James," Jason thanked the lawyer that prepared the documents for them. He looked at his clothings, and he could see that the Barrister was set for bed. "I see you are set for bed, I'm so sorry for intruding.""Not at all Mr Pierce, it's my pleasure. Please come with me," the barrister led the way to his office with his glasses dangling on his neck, switching on the lights."So you were saying on the phone that one part of the document got stolen?""Yes Barrister, right in front of me, she was attacked," he explained. "I still have mine, can it be used to avert any issue in case the document gets into the wrong hands?""Mr Pierce, the document wasn't prepared like that. It's a complimenting document, one can't work without the other and also the one with you is almost as use
Cara was released from the hospital the next morning and everybody decided to go home as soon as possible. Amber volunteered to stay with Cara at the McQueen's family house, Evans whined like a baby, hoping she would stay with him instead."We are not even married yet," Amber pushed his right shoulder teasingly."It doesn't matter, at least we are dating and I am man enough to take care of all our needs. Don't stay with Cara, come stay with me instead. I need a lot of pampering," he threw his arms and feet around like a child.Amber couldn't help the sight in front of her, she lowered herself to her knees, supporting herself with it and bursted out with laughter."You..you are such a big baby," she said, still laughing."I'm your big baby Amber," he pouted, hitting her gently with his shoulders.Jason and Cara stood at a lengthy distance away from them. They seemed to be in a more serious conversation than Evans and Amber."Now that the document's gone, what does that mean? Does it me
2 weeks laterJackson walked into GLAMFORT ENTERPRISES with a file in his hand, both containing Jason and Cara's file signed.He headed down straight to the legal department, asking for the head lawyer in charge."Good morning Sir Jackson, how may I help you this morning," Brian—the head lawyer—stood up, extending a handshake to him. Without a word, Jackson dropped the files on his table and helped himself to a seat. Brian cleared his throat, reclining to his seat. He took a look at the file and read through."Uhmmm, Sir Jackson. We can't accept this," he said."What do you mean?" Jackson's voice boomed from anger."No need to get angry Sir," Brian apologized. "It's just that in the last 72 hours we've received different documents of claims about the company. Madam Cara has yet to say anything about it.""Cara doesn't have to say anything about anything, can't you see the documents laid out before you? Did anyone bring a document of this nature?"Brian looked up with suspicion. "Actu
Cynthia laid on the floor in her room, the rented apartment Jason got. Her phone beside her, just a few inches above her head.Her mind wandered to the things she had gotten herself into, now it was too late to stop or opt out. Her ringing phone dragged her subconscious mind back to the surface. The caller ID showed Adrian.Tired and frustrated, with no iota of enthusiasm, she picked up at the second ring without saying a word."Is my darling Cynthia pissed at me?" Adrian teased over the phone."Just say what you want and get it over with," she hissed into the phone. "I handed the documents to you, can you please leave me alone now?""Not so fast love, according to the research I made, the documents are useless for now.""I don't care, I held the end of my bargain, be a man and hold yours.""There's no bargain anywhere Cynthia, you mentally had that yourself."She sighed and sat upright. "I don't know how much pain I might have caused you, or caused your family but I swear to my late p
Just like every other day since the incident of his father going to claim Alexander's company had happened, the chit chat he once had with Cara reduced. He focused on his work, driving his company to the top of the charts. He no longer needed his father's help and had repaid whatever money he loaned him.His intercom buzzed, dragging his attention away from his work."Sir Jason, a package came in for you now. It's from the high court," his secretary divulged the information.At the mention of the high court, his head shot up and his demeanor changed. A wave of satisfaction finally coursing through his entire body."Have it sent to my office immediately.""Yes sir."Immediately, he dialed Cara's number. It went unanswered the first time and he tried again, still the same response.Without wasting too much time, he dialed Amber's phone which she picked immediately."Why's Cara not picking up her phone?" He said into the phone immediately."Well, she's still pissed at your father, thereb
As soon as Cara pushed the door to the McQueen's door open, the creaking sound of the door echoed throughout the house.When she finally took charge of her father's mansion, she relieved every worker of their duties. Amber stood with open arms and a wide smile on her face."Congratulations," she screamed immediately she saw her enter but Cara's face said otherwise."How did you know?" Cara slumped on the couch with Mason fast asleep on her shoulders."Jason told me. What's wrong? You don't look too good," the space beside Cara deepened as Amber sat in it.She rested her head on the arm of the couch, a long deep sigh escaped from her lips."I messed up Amber, so badly. Today is the first day I'll see a very heartbreaking look on Jason's face, it was so sad.""What happened? Do you want to talk about it?""Remember the stupid way I was behaving ever since I found out about Sir Jackson going to the office. He saw Mason today and he had no idea that Jason had a kid. He behaved as if he wa
As soon as his eyes flickered open, they came in contact with the bright white light, he winced and shut them almost immediately. He positioned himself properly and turned himself to the other side of the bed, facing downwards. He sat upright and decided to evaluate himself, he had passed the night in his office wear.The door swung open and Evans' head popped out. He came into full view with a cup of coffee, some pills and a glass of water in a tray."Figured out your head will be banging. Here, I brought some pills for you," he dropped it on the bedside table for him."Thanks man," he gulped the pills down his throat in a hurry. "You couldn't have changed my clothes?"Evans looked at him like he suddenly grew 2 heads, a short mocking laugh complimenting the look on his face. "You are joking, right?""Get out of here man, you are about to spit rubbish," he said, grabbing the cup of coffee.Evans stood at the door, watching him take a sip out of the coffee. Jason's demeanor changed im
