2023-06-26 15:05:17Jason could not believe that finally, with the amount of money at his disposal, he would be able to live a comfortable life and pay off all his debts.
He was too excited to sleep all night. He anticipated the next morning with all his heart.
His debts were cleared, and finally he was getting a new identity.
His day of not being able to afford a five dollar meal was finally over.
The day finally broke and he got ready immediately and waited for the car that Alex said would be sent to him in the morning.
The car finally came and as Jason looked through the window, he could not believe his eyes. It was an expensive car, a black bugatti at that .
From his experience, at least he worked at a restaurant and he had seen cars, he could tell immediately that it was a very expensive one. Which he knew he could not even afford to rent.
Quickly, he brought out his screen cracked phone to check out the price.
After scrolling for a few minutes, he was shocked at what he saw. A gasp escaped his lips when he saw a brand new gold plated Bugatti La Voiture Noire with the same spec with what was parked before him.
Obviously the latest, and then looking at the price, it costs a whooping 12 million dollars.
"This is huge," he said to himself.
Unable to take the surprise, but then his thought were caught short when the chauffeur said. "Young master, we need to leave now. We still have a lot to cover."
"Forgive my manners." he snapped out, and proceeded.
As he headed out to enter the car, he saw Cecilia alight from a cab. She was surprised to see him entering the car. She knew that he did not have the money to buy it.
"Whose car is this?" She asked him.
"I think the real question is what are you doing here?" He asked her.
"I'm here to pick up the things I forgot in your house," she said as she looked at him with disdain in her eyes.
"Sir, we need to get going," the driver said as he opened the door of the car for Jason.
"Give me a minute," Jason said to him. He then turned to Cecilia.
"Once you are done with collecting every one of your belongings, please get out of my house and keep the keys under my carpet," he said to her before he walked away.
Cecilia was surprised at everything that was suddenly happening. She left him broke last night, and here he was entering an expensive car in the morning. She began to plot a new way to humiliate him.

Jason sat comfortably in the car and was still savoring the expensive leather seats. He had never been in a car this nice.
"Where are we going?" He asked the driver.
"To the company sir," the driver replied curtly without taking his eyes off the road.
Jason's phone began to ring immediately and when he took it out, it was Caleb calling him.
Jason thought that he probably wanted to apologize for what had happened last night.
He answered the call immediately.
"You don't need to apologize for anything," he spoke first to Caleb with a tinge of pride in his voice.
"I'm not calling you to apologize for anything," Caleb said. His voice was a bit shaky as though he was scared of something. Jason was worried.
"Did you steal any money?" Caleb asked him. Jason was taken aback by the question.
"Of course not," Jason replied. "You of all people know that I would never take anything that does not belong to me," Jason added.
Caleb was silent for a brief moment before he spoke.
"Well, I am at school and the principal is looking for you because there has been a theft report," Caleb explained.
"What theft report?" Jason asked, still puzzled at what was suddenly going on.
"The college fund is missing from the school's account, which they believe was hacked and all the money stolen," Caleb explained further even though he was getting impatient at Jason's numerous questions.
"What does that have to do with me?" Jason asked. "I don't even know how to hack and I would never steal anybody's money," he said.
"I don't think that is the issue now," Caleb said. "I think you should come to school right away," he added.
"But why would the principal think that I am the one that stole the money?" Jason asked. He was still confused by everything that was going on.
"Well, the person who reported you to the principal is Cecilia and she says she has strong evidence that you are the one that stole it," Caleb replied.
Jason could not believe his ears. Cecilia went ahead to implicate him because they were no longer dating.
He knew however that instead of sitting there and feeling bad about it, he needed to clear his name very fast.
"Take me to my school," he said immediately to the driver who did as he was told immediately.

Chapter 208
On the day Daphne was discharged from the hospital, she decided that she wanted to go see her father in jail. Jason suggested against it, but she was not willing to comply. She had her reasons and when she persisted, he let her be. She took her child with her as well, and Jason's hands were tied as he knew that their relationship was stiff at the moment. There was no need to aggravate it.“At least allow me to come with you so that I can keep an eye on you and the baby,” she offered. “I want to do this on my own. I have my reasons,” she said to him. “And before you act stupid, don't ask any of your men to follow me,” she added before she got into the waiting car. She knew however that he would not just let her go like that without company. She could already see two cars following after her at a reasonable distance, but she did not mind. She needed the protection anyway.&nb
Chapter 207
Jason waited until it was nightfall before he headed to the safehouse where Gustavo had kept Angelina. He wanted to be as discreet as possible, and Gustavo had been high on surveillance since Jason told him what they needed to do. When they got to the safehouse, another round of surveillance was done before the door of the car was opened for him to come down. He headed to the front door and headed to the stairs that led to the basement.Angelina was tied to a chair in the relatively empty and spacious basement, and it was a bit chilly, so she was asleep. He stood at a reasonable distance before her and stared at her for a while. It was almost unbelievable to him that she was at his mercy at this time. She was supposed to be the most powerful woman in the state, but she was crippled at his mercy.“Wake her up,” he finally ordered. A bucket of wat
Chapter 206
The meeting that Klaus called for was one that Jason did not want to attend. It was as though there was something that he harbored within him, a kind of guilt that washed over him. However, he knew that if he did not attend, Klaus would be highly suspicious because he had a fallout with Angelina. One more seat was empty when he got to the venue. It was Angelina's seat, and the table was quiet, as Siman and Rasheed were not so much of the talkers. As expected, Klaus was unhappy, but this time, he was not pacing about like one without a purpose. He was just sitting quietly, as though he was in deep thought. Jason took his seat and stayed silent as well. He did not intend to break the silence that had ensued, so he just kept his cool. “I have not seen or heard from Angelina in four days,” Klaus began. “I have sent her a ton of messages, and I cannot get to her assistant as well.” Gustavo had made sure that there was a heavy massacre in the warehouse that day. He made sure that none of A

Jason woke up with a start and looked around him. A wave of relief overshadowed him as he discovered that he was in his bedroom. He looked to the side and saw that there was a drip bag attached to his hand. As he attempted to lift his hand, a sharp pain shot through his arm and his shoulder, forcing him to let out a loud groan and fall back on the bed. He soon began to recall what had happened the previous night, and all the events came rushing back at him. It made him panic as he did not see Daphne or the baby in the bedroom with him. He struggled to get up again and pulled away the drip on his hand. He stood up and attempted to walk out. He wobbled and landed on the floor, causing a loud noise. The door opened and Gustavo walked in to help him get back on the bed. Jason closed his eyes in exhaustion. “I decided to bring you home because I did not think that you would like the attention that staying in the hospital would cause you,” Gustavo began. “That's a very good decision,” Jaso
Chapter 204
“First of all, I want you to start with the way you took Maxwell down,” she began, and Jason glanced at Daphne, who seemed to be listening keenly as well. She would be so disappointed. “Oh! She does not know?” Angelina asked. “Can you just stop?” Jason asked her. “So, the woman that you claim to love is not aware that you are the one that put her father in jail, and soiled her family reputation, right?” She continued. “I'm not going to say anything about that,” Jason sounded firm. He did not intend to spill, and he was not just making up his mind at the moment. He had decided not to spill anything since he left his house. He saw how desperate she was for his confession, and he wanted to use that to his advantage. “Before I say anything, I would like you to tell me what manner of business you run here,” he said as he leaned in. “My merchandise is none of your business,” she said to him. “Well, if you need my confession, then you have to explain what this business is all about because
Chapter 203
Jason got into the car, took a deep breath, and took out his phone to place a call to Angelina. Even though she had sent someone to monitor him as he drove to the address, she still asked him to be on a video call the entire time, to ensure that no one was in the car with him. He was getting exhausted from her rules, but he had to comply because of his family. She had proof that she was with them, and he was the only one that could rescue them. Gustavo had thought up a brilliant plan, and things were already in place, giving Jason added confidence. He was not too sure that his plan would work out, but in the end, he blamed it on the nerves. He started the car and began to drive without taking one more look at the screen, where Angelina was watching him. “You are cute by the way,” she began when the tense silence had lasted for a while. “I have envisioned you in my bed a couple of times, not gonna lie,” she continued. Jason swallowed hard at this statement. He was already disgusted. A
