Jason sat on the floor with his two eyes closed as he fought back the tears that threaten to drop. He was clueless as to the next action to take.
One side of him wanted her to go and be happy; after all, he never gave her the genuine happiness she has always desired. A different side of him wanted to run to her, embrace her, kiss her, and try to explain to her in hopes that she would understand and come back to him. He finally opened his eyes and looked at the screen; she was no where to be found, just a few guests still drinking and mingling happily.
"No, no, I must get her back. Jenny loves me; she would come back to me," Jason rose up from the floor, where he had been sitting all this while.Without dusting the dirt that appeared on his trouser, he sprinted to the hall in desperate attempt to find his girl; at least he deserves to know her reason for doing this to him. Jenny was nowhere to be found, and Jason became scared that they might have left the building, as he couldn't find the car any longer. Not knowing what he was doing, he started running to different doors. Jason had just checked the fourth door and has decided to give up on checking the fifth door.He has been able to convince himself that they are no longer in the building and was about to leave, but took one last look at the door entrance. Suddenly he found her, standing alone like she was waiting for someone. She kept on looking at the ring on her left finger, smiling extremely. She looked very happy, and he had to admit that he had never seen her this happy before.
"Maybe I should just leave her; she deserves to be happy, and I can't make her happy," Jason whispered to himself. He didn't know when the first drop of tears poured out freely from his eyes.Jason made up his mind to leave; she deserves to be happy after all, and he couldn't give her the happiness she wanted. People around him suddenly noticed him and began giving him strange looks and weird reactions. This caught his girlfriend's attention, so she turned to find out herself. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped open the moment her eyes met Jason's, who was still crying without even realizing it.
"Jason? What is he doing in a hotel like this? How did he even get here to start with?" She muttered in silence. Her hand folded into a fist as she tried to control her anxiety.People around were still waiting to see the end result; they were all curious to know what was happening. Silently, Jenny hoped for Jason to leave or even pretend not to know her.
She even tried giving him signals to leave and saying that she would explain everything later, but Jason couldn't see any of her signals.
"Jenny!" Jason found himself calling out the moment she was about to leave, and she froze. He couldn't just let her go in as much as he wanted to. His heart still yearned for her badly, which gives him hopes of getting her back. Jenny turned to look at him slowly as Jason walked closer to her, still crying. She is filled with guilt and regrets not telling him earlier. Her plan was to get engaged first before telling him, so he could let her be and not try to beg her.How was she supposed to know he was going to be here to witness her getting proposed to by another man?
Maybe she should have also ended things with him earlier, but her pity for him prevented her from doing so; she wasn't ready to break the poor guy's heart. But now, Jenny regrets everything; she even regrets agreeing to date him in the first place because of his looks, but it was too late as she feared that everything might be ruined.The anxious crowd watched closely, waiting for the next move from either of them. It is surprising how they have been together since high school and now they have to go their separate ways. Jason thought their love would last long and they might end up marrying each other, but now all hope seems to be lost. Jenny, on the other hand, loved Jason even though she agreed to date him because of his looks. She got into trouble financially a few months back, and that was when she met Donald, her fiance. He helped her solve all her problems, even the easy ones Jason wasn't able to solve.Jason was always busy with different part-time jobs and never had her time; even when she needed him the most, he was always too busy. When her favorite cousin died and she needed someone to talk to, hug, and console her, Jason was too busy looking for money for his tuition, and that was the moment Donald started taking his place in her life.
"Jason, just forget," Jenny was interrupted by the resounding sound from her fiance's luxurious car that just arrived at the entrance. When she saw him, a fake smile appeared on her face, and all Jason did was stare at the flashy car and wonder when he would ever get to ride a car like that. The car got everyone's attention for a while, but not until Jenny's fiance came out and walked towards her, completely ignoring everyone and everything around. He got to where Jenny stood and slowly slid his left hand around her tiny waist, but Jason took out his hand hastily. Donald was stunned for a second, he turned to look at Jenny and inquired to know who Jason was."Him? He is uhm uhm," Jenny began to stutter; she didn't know how to introduce Jason to her fiance for fear of losing him. Donald didn't wait for her explanation and went closer to Jason, who gazed at him angrily even though he was jealous of everything Donald had. "Yuck!" Donald shouted and moved backward. He covered his nose with his right hand, staring at Jason with an irritating look on his face. He complained about the horrible smell coming from Jason and questioned Jenny again about his identity once more.She kept mute for a few seconds. On taking one last glance at Jason, she remembered he was working here.
"I am her boyfriend!" Jason shouted to the hearing of everybody in the hall. He knew Jenny was about to deny knowing him; she was going to tell Donald that he was a worker here.The people gathered around were all startled by what they had just heard and drew nearer. They were incredibly desperate, the envious ones hoped that he would call off his engagement with Jenny. "That's what rich people do; he should just walk off rather than stoop so low to fight with this juvenile brat who looks impoverished," A classy-looking woman in her early fifties said to her friend, who stood beside her, smiling anxiously.Some people looked disappointed, while others had an exciting expression on their faces. The majority blamed Jenny and called her a slut, cheat, and a gold digger.While others blamed Donald for choosing to date a low-class girl like Jenny instead of an elegant girl within their level and class. Among the crowd was the popular boy in Jason's school; he was a social media influencer. He knew something interesting was going to happen soon and brought out his phone to record, with the intention of spreading the news to everyone in school and around the world
Jason was eventually taken by the police, he spent three days and night at the cell because, Audrey couldn't afford to bail him, since the hotel never paid him. On the third day, he was finally able to raise some money for the bailing levy, after working for more hours and begging a few friends. Although, Donald still threatened to take the issue to court. He wanted a verdict to be passed on Jason, for assaulting him. As they walked along the narrow street leading to their small apartment, people looked at Jason and murmured, while the others laughed. "Guess the news has gone viral ugh?" Jason asked in a sad tone, with his head facing the ground in embarrassment. Audrey slightly nods his head, before Patting Jason's back. He was so depressed and life sucks at this point of his life. People around laughed at him everywhere he went, he tried allowing it not to bother him so much, but it was so difficult. A sigh of relief breathe through his lips, the moment they got into their apa
The rumor that Jason was the billionaire's son quickly circulated throughout the school like a wide fire. No one was aware of how they obtained the information, since it was intended to remain a secret until the DNA test was completed and the results were made public.However, because it had already spread, nothing could be done. Jason never returned to class; instead, he went to the hospital with his father after leaving the vice chancellor's office. Although, he promised to explain everything to Audrey when they met. He contacted Audrey, letting him know that, he wouldn't be returning for the time being. From the hospital, Jason went home with his father. On arriving at the gate, he stared at the exquisite mansion in astonishment, with his jaw dropped. He had never seen such a magnificent house, much alone lived in one. His father noticed and gave him a little smack at his back while laughing aloud. "This is the least of them, wait till you see my villa," The old man told him as
Jason was dumbfounded while looking at his father's corpse, he pondered on why life was so unfair to him. In a way, he felt it would have been better if life, had just left him the way he was before, until he met his father. Nevertheless, he was grateful he had someone he could call dad. The ambulance arrived, and the loud siren could be heard from every corner of the mansion. Shortly, the medical practitioners, hurried into the room with a stretcher. Jason watched them place his father on it and covered him with a white garment. Memories on the day his mother died, flooded his head and he suddenly cried out loud again, clinging to his legs firmly. The medical practitioners began to carry the corpse outside, accompanied by the Mr. George. Jason wrapped his arms around his body as he walked behind them.Jason was nearly blinded by the flashlight coming from various photographers, as they struggle to get closer to him. Mr. Dante stood beside him, protecting him from the vulnerabl
"You! Hurry up with the cleaning, this hall needs to be ready before 10am." Donald impatiently shouted at his staff, looking at his wrist watch. There is a press conference going on today in The Vons company, one of the largest companies in New York, that deals with international manufacturer, Fashion and beauty design, household materials and personal care with other profitable categories involved.As the CEO, he needed the world to see how well he handled the affairs in company. He was famous for his excellent business skills and lot of companies always wanted to work with him or invest hugely.He was looking forward to this press conference, it was an opportunity to get more international partners and consumers.Before 10am, various reporters from different media channels had arrived and were seated, drafting out their questions. The meeting started at exactly 10am. Donald was called to the podium to speak about the company, before they start asking questions. Donald adjusted hi
Jason heard Donald scream his name as he left the building; he must have seen the content inside the bag. Donald had given him a demotion letter; he was no longer the CEO, but now an ordinary manager. For Jenny, he returned back something which she asked him treasure, until they got married. According to her, it was going to make their love and relationship stronger and their marriage would last longer. It was Jenny's undies. She had given it to Jason, on the day he took her virginity, a few years back. Although, her superstitious act was apparently abnormal, Jason did it, and even foolishly treasured the undies. Guess her superstition has been proven to be false now.As Jason walked, he was lost in his thought. He didn't know if he was to be angry with Jenny or happy for her. But at this moment, he was clearly angry. She threw their years of love away, all because of money. The fact that she got married to a scumbag like Donald, who humiliated him, infuriated him more. "My reve
"Good morning, sir" Evelyn greeted Jason who was still looking at her with a confused expression on his face.He suddenly realized he had been acting stupidly and came back to his senses. Evelyn was the girl that spilled her wine on his suit at Jenny's wedding, he could not forget such a beautiful face within a short period.At first, he didn't want to believe that she was the one when he saw her legs, but on seeing her face and how she look so attractive on the body hug gown she was putting on, he had to admit it to himself."Who are you? Where is my secretary?" Jason questioned, feigning not to know her. He observed that she looked disappointed, but it was the least of his problem. Evelyn entered Jason's office, shutting the door behind her. "Stop there, where do you think you are going? " Jason asked her with a stern look on his face. Evelyn froze for a second and nearly fell because, she was taken aback. She was about to explain that she was his new secretary and didn't think
"Why do you choose to embarrass me?" Donald firmly fixed his eyes on Jenny as he walked closer to Jason's desk. He was here to deliver a file to him, only to find his wife kneeling before the man who humiliated him, begging for his forgiveness. He was enraged and couldn't control his anger. Quickly, he jerked Jenny up from the ground and roughly pushed her out of Jason's office without submitting the file anymore.Jenny thought that Jason would come to her rescue on seeing how Donald manhandled her. Surprisingly, Jason didn't even bother to look up at her, not to mention standing up from his seat. "Well deserved!" Jason whispered after they were out of his view.However, he couldn't deny that he felt bad with the way Donald treated Jenny, yet he did nothing and would do nothing even in the nearest future. She hurt him so much and he wanted her to regret every action she took; every words she said on the day she was proposed to.For a few hours, he found it difficult to concentrate
