CHAPTER 20: MY WOMANFlashbackDaniel's naked body laid unashamedly on the bed, he slept near a naked blonde haired lady with extremely heavy makeup.She chewed her gum loudly and pressed her phone."I heard Jason Pierce is here in Bana," she said whilst pressing her phone."Are you joking? If he was here in Bana, she would have called me."She pushed her phone forward to his sight. "See." An entertainment channel that featured billionaires and top important people in the country had carried the news.It read: 'Jason Pierce, son of Jackson Pierce, a billionaire is said to be in Bana. A small town where everybody knew everyone, he was seen in Mary's Eatery early this morning having a hot chocolate and a snack.'Daniel jumped from the bed after reading the news, a picture of Jason, smiling was attached to the news article.His phone rang at the same hour, the call he dreaded picking was the same one calling.He picked up after the third ring after hesitating.The caller's voice boomed f

Jason walked into his hotel room in the early hours of the morning, tired and confused. He fell to the bed without flipping the light switch on.It's been less than a week or more since he left New York, his mind drifting to Alexander. How happy will he be knowing his daughter is well, literally not well but close enough.He picked his phone up and called him."Sir Alexander, good morning. Sorry to have woken you up," he said.The gruffly voice of Alexander echoed into the phone. "What do you want, Jason?""I just thought to check on you and also talk to you about Cara.""Easy there child, stay away from Cara. If you ever see her, stay away from her life."Jason dropped the phone to his line of sight."Sir? What do you mean? I promised to find her for you and-""My child wouldn't want to be with a married man, if you will excuse me, I need to go back to sleep."Jason sighed, thinking about what just happened. He had no idea various posts about him had blown social media up.The only p

The huge house could be compared to a graveyard; silent, still and motionless. The news Jackson bore the other day affected him, he wondered if it would still be fair calling him his friend.Right from their early days, they managed to build their wealths and promised their kids to one another. And when suddenly, they heard Jason and Cara got married, their heart knew no bounds. The sudden wedding was alarming and they didn't get angry, instead they were fulfilled.Now it was all him, left alone with no child to call his one. His anger raged as he remembered the last time Jason visited, promising to find his girl for him."Sir Alexander," his closest help, Ethan dragged him back to the surface."Yes?" He leapt from his chair forward. "What can I do for you?""Sir, it's Jason Pierce. He requests to speak with you.""Where is he? On the phone?""Not at all sir, he's in the waiting room. Should I let him in?"Alexander weighed his options carefully, seeing him would only confirm what Jac

The gentle breeze of Bana smooched Alexander's soft skin. He inhaled the pure air that smelt like a combination of cinnamon mixed with nutmeg. People minded their business and helped others the way they could, it was really a small town.The word a younger Cara used to say started to live rent free. She would always say, 'one day papa, we would leave New York. We would go to a place where few people know us, where everybody knows everyone and we would live happily ever just like in my cartoons'. It really looked like the kind of environment she wished for.He threw the long handle of his bag across his shoulder, as the airport gate went open for arrival, he sighted a well suited man holding a placard, on it was his name.He found his way to him and dropped his nose mask, extending his hand out for a handshake. "You are my ride?""Yes sir," the driver bowed first, then accepted his handshake. "Sir Jason asked me to drop you home, he gave me your address.""Oh," that was the only thing

Jason buried his head deep in work, numbing his environment. His caller tune reached out to him from his inner feelings. He stared at the caller ID, it was his father. On a second ring, he picked up.A scorn was plastered on his face. "Good day to you father, how can I help you?""Is that sarcasm I hear in your voice? Well that is up to you, I want you to see me at home tomorrow morning. As early as possible.""Do I have to? Why can't you just say whatever you want to say on the phone. I have a busy schedule tomorrow," he replied irritatingly.Jason growled slowly on the phone, pissed about the tone his son was using on him."I don't care whatever mood you are in, you better find your way here tomorrow if you don't want to see the other side of me. You know me well, you know me better. I'm still your father," he shouted."Do your worst father, I thought parents were supposed to be hot on their children's happiness but no you chose an outsider's happiness instead of mine. You ceased to
