Following her mother's advice, Lauren went to Jason's apartment. Her mother had promised to help her, as long she made an attempt to win his heart and also reject the divorce as much as she could. " Jason, can we go for a walk?." She said as he opened the door."Seriously, a walk?" "I want to talk to you, is that too much to ask for?" That day, when Jason asked Lauren for a divorce, she felt heartbroken but it wasn't a normal kind of heartbreak. She felt almost… insulted. All her life, no one had ever broken up with her before. For a split second, she compared her social status with Jason's and the fact that he was the one asking her to leave sounded insulting to her. "I'm really not in the mood to go anywhere, whatever it is that you want to talk about, we can do it right here. If you don't want to go inside, we can talk outside." "I want to ask you something." She started."Okay?""That day, back at my parents house, why did you lie about that girl? You and I know that she was my

TWO DAYS AGO.FLASHBACK.Sire, I understand the way you must be feeling presently, but I still think that this is a reckless move." Matthew protested."And I understand your reason for thinking that way Matthew. But what I want you to understand is that Erika is not going to be a threat to me, or my post as the CEO. If anything, she's a part of me and everything I do and I'mgoing to do. I can't keep this from her forever.""Noted Sire, and no one is asking you to keep it from her forever. I just feel that we should be more patient until we are a hundred percent certain that this decision is not going to backfite on us in any way possible.""I understand you, believe me I do, but I still stand on my decision." The last time Jason had dropped the subject, and Matthew had won. But not this time!"Young master, I know that I am in no position to impose any decision on you. I have no right or whatsoever to tell you what to do. But I will imploy you to reconsider. How well do you know thi

"Young master, I have some news to share with you." Matthew said and Jason could hear a tinge of worry in his voice."Good or bad?""I'm afraid it's bad sire.""What is it?""Phil Garcia posted on the media accusing you of embezzling your company's funds.""What?""He said you conspired with a colleague to extract funds illegally from the company.""And people believe him?""I'm afraid so. He has proof sire."He showed Jason a picture of himself in his car and a sudden realization dawned on him.Jason Paul Decker, a fraud and a thief.A twenty four year old staff at the Decker headquarters, a popular company under the name of Paul Decker, CEO of the Decker Industries is a fraud. He, along with his partner, James Anderson connived to steal millions of dollars from their company's assets. As Jason read the news, he couldn't believe his eyes. Phil went on to say he also intended on duping Lauren and that was why he was married to her. He stated that he had proof and when Jason saw the p

Jason was lost in thought, even though he acted all cool and calm in front of Rose, he was still somewhat worried about her threat. What if there was actually someone after his life? What if it was Rose herself? Or worse, what if it was her father?The Sinclair family was a scary one, with both the father and the daughter having criminal records so it wasn't impossible that they were after his life.But if it was true that they wanted him dead, Jason didn't know what his offense could be. Could it be a result of him refusing to marry Rose? Or maybe it was because he rejected her father's offer to work for him.A lot of unanswered questions were spiraling around in Jason's mind and he was at the verge of going crazy. He needed to find way to let all the problems he was facing blow over somehow, if the people hated him less, it would give him more space and time to work out some other things. But he also needed to handle things one step at a time, so he decided to call the one man that

As much as Jason hated it, he had to go over to the King's residence because Lauren was refusing to cooperate. It had been three days since the press conference, and while it was true that the public had been calmed, the rumors hadn't completely died down. It had been confirmed that he and James Anderson were innocent of the crimes pinned against them, but some people still condemned Jason's decision to settle down with another woman, especially since his divorce was still ongoing.Their divorce was supposed to be a simple process. They didn't have any kids, so fighting over who got custody was impossible. Neither did they have any properties to share. They were supposed to just go in and out, and that was it. But Lauren was refusing to sign the papers.Erika and her parents had gone off to France for their trip and the couple decided that it would be good if she had the baby there. Once he finalized his divorce with Lauren, he was going to join them so he could be there on her delive
