New trouble.
After Lunch, Jasper drove back home with Sophia. The restaurant was beautiful and welcoming.Jasper chose a seat near the window at a corner table for both of them.He ordered grilled fish spiced with veggies for both of them. Sophia was not really hungry, but she managed to eat slowly as Jasper kept talking about trivial topics. He spoke about random topics just to cheer her up and shift her mind from all that happened earlier that morning.He maintained a soft look at Sophia. He continued to smile back at her, at intervals. Then, while they relished the moment, Jasper casually reached over the table and grasped hers.She felt a weird, warm sensation in her heart at that precise time. After a long time, she was not having that lonely feeling after all.When they were done eating, Jasper sorted out their bills, then took her handbag from the table, in a gentleman's manner, held her hand softly and they made their way to the car.It was a quiet drive back home, they were both silent ex
Judgement day
Sophia began to address the board members as soon as the policemen took Jamie out of the room. She felt a deep relief wash over her as she sat down on her reserved seat.“Good day to everyone.” She greeted, and the board members responded accordingly. “I'm sorry for the way things turned out, and I promise you that everything is going to be fine.”The board members applauded her speech before she could even complete the statement. She felt truly welcomed back to her seat. She waited for them to stop clapping before she continued as she pressed a smile to her face.“Send an emergency notice to every employee and stakeholder. I want everyone to be present in this meeting. I can wait for half an hour. Anyone who doesn't make it to this room in half an hour should consider himself fired.” Sophia announced as one of the board members quickly sent the message to them while they discussed trivial matters to whirl away time till the employees and stakeholders would arrive.Fifteen minutes lat
A ghost
Sophia stood by the doorway to the meeting room, keeping her gaze locked with those of the shocked board members. Her eyes rolled in Jamie’s direction as a gentle scoff left her lips.Jasper could have easily decided to accompany her to the meeting room, but he chose not to. Instead, he sent Tiger, knowing Jamie was an aggressive person who would do anything to protect his ego and secure his position.“So what now?” Sophia's voice echoed in the room. It felt like no one else was present. No one could say a word. It felt unreal, like they were staring at a ghost.Jamie’s gaze continued to follow Sophia as she walked into the room, with Tiger standing gallantly behind her. He was dumbfounded. What else could he say?He had been clamoring for the board members to get a verified news update, trying hard to debunk the news of Sophia being back and alive. His heart began to beat faster than usual. He placed a palm on his chest but remained seated on the special seat meant for the heir of th
Things are going wrong
Jasper, Sophia and Jasmine stepped down from the private jet. Some of Jasper’s team were already waiting for them at the airport. All the way from Silverlake to Ashford. They all got into the car prepared for them. The ride was a long one. More than an hour drive until they finally got into the estate. Sophia led the way with Jasmine, Jasper followed behind. Jasper was going to stay over at Sophia's place for the time he would spend in Ashford.Standing in front of the house, Jasper sighed. He could recall the last time he was here. Although Sophia had chosen to live in Oakridge because of him, he didn't want to admit he was the reason why. She made a dramatic entry, leaving the door open for Jasper, who stepped in with a small smile on his face. It was a very nice and expensive apartment that was huge enough to accommodate over ten people.As soon as they walked into the living room, Jasper pulled his phone from his pocket and stared at the screen. There were so many notificatio
The company is mine
The system appeared before Jasper with one word “Ashford”.Jasper called Sophia.“Go in. Gather your things. Get ready. We are going back to Ashford”.Sophia didn't say a word. She left quietly to do as she was told. She has always wanted to leave anyway. Jamie and Frank were still enjoying themselves back at Ashford.Jasper thought the only reason why the system mentioned Ashford was because of the Darlington family and how they were going to pay.***Back at Ashford***Frank paced about the living room. He was breathless, his mind racing with random thoughts. The news he had just received hit him really hard. The news was about Sophia. She was alive. It came as a shock to him. He didn't want to believe it until he saw the post that Sophia had made herself. Did she know that they had a hand in her kidnapping? What does she know? Would she implicate them? Jasper, the fear of jasper was the beginning of wisdom He wondered if Jamie, his son, had heard of this as well. He decided to
Progress
Silverlake was on fire. After 2 nights, news spread like wildfire. Finally, Elise had been captured and arrested. To Jasper’s relief, Elder Valmont's dog, the Inspector general of police, was also taken into custody.The whole case was in court. They were finally doing things right. Everything was coming to light. In his Study, Jasper picked up his phone and dialed Zoey's number. This was the time she stepped in.Zoey didn't pick up at first. He tried again. He knew she was at the hospital. She must be busy but he needed to pass the information to her and explain things to her as soon as possible. Still she didn't pick up.He decided to try one last time. She picked up almost immediately.“I'm so sorry, Jasper," she apologized quickly, “I wasn't with my phone and I just came into my office." “It's okay." Jasper replied, “I want you to do something for me." Zoey sat down on her office chair, “Sure. Anything." She would do anything for Jasper. Absolutely anything. " I want y
