She did not have the chance to scream or attract the kids' attention, which was sure was her intention, before he had her arms tied and her mouth gagged with the strips of ribbon that someone had conveniently left behind in the gazebo. Probably Jasmine. Jason mused at the irony of tying the woman, whom Jasmine did not like, with her ribbon.“Is she here to be my new mum?” she had whispered to him in question the other time.Yeah, right. As if he would want such a banshee like her around his children. Jason thought in vexation as he slightly rubbed at his shin, prepared he must have been, but she had still been able to get one in. Just not at the point where she had intended.He leaned back on the settee with his arms folded as he showed her his apparent amusement at her muffled yells and glare.“We can do this all day or you can stop yelling and let me know when you are ready to talk like the adult that you keep insisting that you are '' he said slowly.More muffled yells and he simpl
They barely saw each other in the next few days after their altercation. Jason knew it was ridiculous but he would rather feel that way and stay away from that volatile girl than have her rile him up again within the blink of an eye. Damned if he knew why she was able to get under his skin that fast.He had given her specific instructions through Isabella and though he had expected her to rebel against him just for the sake of it; so far she had been cooperative.She was to stay away from his kids.She was to resume her work as the intern manager of acquisitions and she was to listen to and obey the manager who would be her direct boss. She was not allowed to run amok in the city or go anywhere without informing Isabella first.She was not allowed anywhere near his room or his office at all times. She was not allowed to seek an audience with him. If she wanted something in the house, she was to ask Isabella. If she needed something in the office, she was to ask her direct boss.Jaso
Florence Gail’s heart stopped. Jason gave the doctors feedback about the decision they agreed on. Millicent figured that her aunt had more chance been alive with the surgery done than without it. Jason agreed with her as well since the alternative would mean that the spleen infection would spread through the body since Gail’s immune system had stopped working altogether. The doctors were informed and arrangements were done immediately. Jason refused to let Millicent fly over to the hospital alone as she had intended. He went with her after doubling the security of the house and ensuring the kids that he would be back home before they get back from school the following day. For once, Millicent didn’t argue with him and the journey was eerily quiet in the company jet that Jason had recently commissioned to make official assignments hassle-free. Throughout the journey, he was oddly attuned to her anxiety even though she did not say a word, she merely sat in her chair, reclined it back
"She did what?!" Jason jerked up in bed and quickly looked to his side to see if had woken his kids. They had insisted on sleeping in his bed the night before instead of in their room and he couldn’t help but think that they were sort of conscious of his sour mood despite the excitement he mustered when he saw them. He sighed a little when Jasmine merely turned over in her sleep, rolling most of her lower body over her brother. The latter was dead to the world as he slept on unaffected. Jason quickly left the room to speak more normally. “Sir? Can you…are you still there, sir?” he heard as he put the phone back to his ear. “Yes, yes, I am here. What the heck were you talking about?” he asked instantly, ignoring the night chill buffeting his bare upper body. “I am so sorry about this, sir. It all happened so fast that the nurses on duty couldn’t do anything to stop her. She had all the necessary papers for evacuation, sir. And a caretaker to take care of the body too. Everything was
Girdwood, Alaska Millicent paused on the rocky path that lead to the stone and brick home. It was just as she had described. Millicent swallowed hard as she remembered how Florence had described the refreshing village of Girdwood that held many memories for her. A place she had promised to bring Millicent before her deteriorating health changed the plan. She looked at the white curtains billowing through the shingled windows of the sturdy home and she heard a thrilling laughter moments before a young lady came out of the house with an urn. The lady had white shorts and a top on and she was talking to someone in the house before she spotted Millicent. The smile on her lips died and she spoke rapidly in a strange language to the person inside. Tears came to Millicent’s eyes as she remembered the strange language that Florence had spoken once to amuse her. The Gwich’in language. She had informed her that her aunt was so passionate about teaching people that language that she was sure
“Fuck this!” Sonia screamed in frustration as the long tail attached to the transparent spandex gown she had on, dragged through the suspicious liquid on the floor of the toilet. She looked at herself in the mirror and almost smashed her hand hard against it before she checked herself at the last minute.Common sense was not the reason for the restraint. It was more about the exorbitant rate that the club owner would make her pay if she broke anything again. She swallowed her intended yell of frustration when the door opened and a couple of guys entered. They gave her see-through gown a leery look and one of them came close to smack her butt as he suggestively whined his waist.“What’s up, Dame Pipi! You want some action?” he said with a drunken slur, and his friends laughed as well.“Go fuck yourself.” Sonia sneered as she threw the brush in her hand aside and stomped past him. Their roar of laughter followed her and she gritted her teeth when she remembered that she didn’t tell thos
Jason couldn’t believe it! He read and re-read the mail again. Then he started perusing the pictures and attached documents. His eyes were not deceiving him. It was right there in front of him. Stark and solid but he still couldn’t believe it. He quickly dialled her number again. “Hi, you’ve reached…” “Damn it, girl!” Jason yelled in frustration as he disconnected the call. “How I wish you are here right now so I can squeeze that secretive, petty and stubborn neck of yours! How… how the fuck could you keep this to yourself? Away from me?!” he shouted. Then he stopped abruptly, closed his eyes and took in huge gulps of breath to calm himself. “Boss?” Aria called as she entered the room. She removed her hand from the gun belt at her waist when she saw Jason standing unharmed at the centre of the control room. She quickly looked around and saw that no one was there as well. “Is everything fine, boss?” she asked when she saw that his system was open. Jason was rubbing his hand agains
Excited about their new find, Jason momentarily stemmed any thoughts regarding the images that were attached to the email that Millicent sent to him. He couldn’t track her location through it because the mail had been programmed about two weeks earlier from his home. So, all he got was his address when he tried that route. “Silly, sneaky girl” he muttered to himself as he wondered what she was up to. Simon was back from Girdwood and all he got from that journey was that she had been there and she had left again. The grieving, old woman he had met had no idea where she went. Neither did the French-speaking young lady too. So, they were practically at square one. Except for this intel. Jason had decided to come out on this one since being holed up in the armoury was making him slowly go batty and he had injured a recruit the day before during training. He did not need to see the way people had started giving him a wide berth and how all the sections go silent whenever he approached th
