CHAPTER 58
Her stomach lurched. The gnawing feeling of betrayal and confusion surged through her, her mind struggling to reconcile the image before her "Was this the same man?" Her head spun, her knees growing weak as she instinctively took a step back, the sound of her breath ragged as she tried to process the sight.She couldn’t stay here. But just as she turned to run, the door to the hallway clicked open, and Olivia froze, her eyes wide with dread. It was Uncle B and someone else, Jason. The two figures stepped into the hallway walking towards her view, their presence suffocating the air around her. She was caught. Jason’s eyes locked onto hers instantly, his gaze piercing, knowing. A wicked smile tugged at the corners of his lips, a smile that sent an unsettling chill down her spine. He knew.Olivia’s heart sank, her feet rooted to the spot. She had hoped for answers, for clarity, but now, all she had was confusion—and something much darker. "What was happening?"Jason, as calm and cold a
CHAPTER 57
The tension in the air was thick as Olivia stood frozen by the poolside, her eyes locked onto Jason as paused and walked back towards them. Her heart hammered in her chest as she watched the cruel spectacle unfold before her. His behavior was almost unrecognizable—ruthless, detached, as if every shred of humanity had been peeled away from him in the blink of an eye. The mask was gone, but it didn’t matter anymore. It was as though Jason had become something else—something unhinged, a monster wrapped in human skin. Her eyes traced the dark, jagged scars on his upper body, both physical and psychological. And his facial expression… it was a mask of barely contained rage, twisted in a way that made her stomach churn. He was no longer the man she had come to know—the reserved, enigmatic figure who wore his mask to hide his identity and maybe his pain. Now, he was all aggression and unyielding anger, his eyes wild and frightening as they pierced through the butler few minutes before.Oli
CHAPTER 56
Olivia had been awake for some time before the knock at her door came. The soft rapping was brief, urgent—just enough to stir her from her thoughts. She opened it to find one of the staff, his expression unreadable, delivering a simple instruction: 'Jason needed everyone by the poolside.'No explanation. No reason.But she knew better than to ask.Olivia’s mind raced as she closed the door behind her. The mansion had grown quieter in the last few hours, the hum of the party’s afterglow now a distant memory. When she opened the wardrobe, there were several dresses—a few were undoubtedly her style, tailored to fit her perfectly. She quickly changed into gym wear, the tank top and joggers fitting her perfectly, as though someone had predicted what she would wear. By the time she reached the poolside after following the directions given by the butler earlier, the others had already gathered—seven people, herself included. Her gaze flickered over them, noting the unease in the others' eye
CHAPTER 55
The golf cart stopped.Jason stepped out into the soft breeze of the the impending dawn. A sliver of silence settled around him like a second skin. He offered a tired nod to Uncle B, then ascended the steps of the mansion alone, feet echoing on marble.Inside, the entire building was drenched in stillness and the night lights. The grand chandelier above the foyer was dimmed now, its brilliance reduced to a moody glimmer. Jason moved to and through the hallway, the soles of his shoes pressing against memory-soaked rug.He reached his door. Then paused.The handle.It bore subtle but undeniable signs of tampering—fine scratches along the base, faint scuffs against the lacquered metal. To the average eye, it was nothing. To Jason, it was a message. One not spoken, but carved in silence.His mask tilted slightly which made him yank it of, as he surveyed it. Calmly, he reached for the handle, turned it, and stepped inside.The room welcomed him with its quiet familiarity—minimalist décor
CHAPTER 54
As he stepped inside, the familiar scent of home-cooked meals and the soft glow of light from the chandelier welcomed him. The interior was plush, yet understated. The furniture was comfortable, not extravagant, and the space had an aura of quiet elegance. There was a sense of peace here, something Jason had never experienced in his father’s mansion especially when he was convalescing . He settled into a large couch, and Aunt May quickly brought him a cup of cold chocolate, which she handed to him with a delicate smile. Jason hesitated for a moment, glancing down at the cup. He took a sip, then another, the cool liquid soothing him as it traveled down his throat. It was good, comforting even. But then, as the drink settled in his stomach, something strange happened.A sharp pain jolted through his mind—a brief, excruciating sensation that felt as though something deep within him had snapped loose. The pain lingered only for a moment, but it was enough to make him close his eyes and c
CHAPTER 53
As they touched down, Jason picked up his tuxedo, tie and laptop and exited the helicopter. Olivia was helped down by whom she later realised was Winston's butler. Jason greeted him formally and asked about whether his father had returned from Arkwrath as they walked towards a towering masiom which was where he had recuperated after the accident that nearly killed him. Olivia thought that she had seen enough surprise for the evening but Jason had just taken the first scene as the lead actor and the freaking main character and she was about to see the ruthless and red flag version of the man she thought might be a walking green forest. The moon cast a silvery glow over the serene landscape of Dalsen Island, where Jason and Olivia stepped in the golf cart, the hum of the electric motor the only sound breaking the stillness. The events of the evening had been a whirlwind—an emotional rollercoaster that Jason had anticipated, yet it was one he knew he had to endure. Olivia, ever observa
