“How was Tokyo, Jax?” one of the female artist around Jaxon asked. Her hand reached to caress his.
“It was good. A man once bought a ladder to a party because he heard the drink was on the house” Jaxon responded and they all laughed. His eyes returned to the figure that had caught his attention the moment she stepped in.
“And what the others say to him?” One of the female artist voice snapped him back.
“They laughed of course. Tokyo is a quite interesting. They’ve got skills when it comes to craft and portrait. They have nice women too” Jaxon replied and a fleeting jealousy look flashed on the women face.
Not only Jaxon was Mr. King’s cousin. He was handsome, a flirt and unlike Cassius who had cold aura, Jaxon’s own was approachability.
“Okay, now the heck is my cousin?” Jaxon frowned looking around.

“Ohmm… Hmp.. ohh.. oh Gawd”
Tatiana’s moan rented the room accompanied with the sound of the desk creaking beneath her.
Cassius mind had went haywire the moment she stepped into the hall. The swell and fall of her perfect shape got him hard on. Each day that passed by, he addiction over her adds.
He regret making her wear this dress when he noticed the lust that flashed in the eyes of his male artists.
This thought made him thrust harder into her, his length hitting her spot.
His hand was snaked around her neck, not too hard as she remain pinned to the desk. Her leg was wrapped around his torso. Her expression hot as she moaned out his name.
Finally, he shot his wetness with a sexy groan. She was on birth control. He loves it raw inside her, having a rubber preventing him to feel those walls was annoying.
She mentioned it herself, she wasn’t ready for another child, or to announce their relationship. And he understood her.
She sat up and kissed him lightly.
“You’ve ruined my make up. Thank you Mr. King” she whispered.
“I’m not the one who asked you to be sexy” he whispered huskily and kissed her collar bone. “You still look beautiful. Very beautiful”
“Mr. King, I nearly thought you’d rip my dress off”
“I would have, if it’s isn’t for the event. Or should we just go home?”
Tatiana pecked him gently. “That won’t be a good thing. You need to welcome your cousin”
“Yeah he’s troublesome” Cassius muttered and they both chuckled.

Tatiana walked back to her seat. Her dress, hair, make up and scent didn’t leave anyone suspicious. However Jolene and Indigo gave her a suspicious look.
“It took you long enough” Indigo teased.
Tatiana only smiled.
Cassius also returned properly dressed in his suit. His eyes met with hers briefly. It was then Tatiana notices the similarities between Cassius’s suit and Dylan’s.
Oh this man.
The celebration started. Tatiana, Indigo and Jolene clicked their glasses together before taking drinking. Many attention was dragged to Tatiana and her child again.
Some even spot the resemblance of Dylan and Cassius but didn’t take it to heart. Probably, Tatiana used make up so the boy would look like Mr. King.
What an attention seeker.
“Welcome back” Cassius greeted Jaxon.
“I hate you” Jaxon mumbled.
“I hate you too. Gosh, another pain in my ass” Cassius swept his hair backward.
“First you didn’t come to pick me up yourself and then you disappeared into thin air when the event started. Where did you go? To fuck a woman?” Jaxon asked and Cassius sighed.
Jaxon didn’t know he was right. Cassius indeed went to have a woman.
“A break for peace has come to an end” Cassius mumbled.
“How’s auntie?” Jaxon asked and Cassius’s expression became serious.
“My mother hasn’t woken up yet” Cassius replied.
“Fuck the Wallingtons” Jaxon mumbled and Cassius looked at him. “What? Wasn’t it Mr. Wallington that sent your best friend to cause the accident, just to spite you for not collaborating with him. Fuck the Wallington. Auntie is now suffering because of him”
Cassius avert his gaze.
Jaxon continued. “And you’re doing nothing”
“Chris is dead. He has paid for his sin”
“Then what about the person that sent him”
“Chris did it by choice and he has paid for it” Cassius said and Jaxon sighed. His eyes swept around the crowd and fell upon Tatiana.
Why does she look familiar?
However, his attention was shifted to Jolene who stood left.

Jolene had too much wine and had went to the restroom. She stared at the mirror and took a deep breath.
Her expression turned into a worried one. Last night, her father returned after leaving many years ago. He came back looking, hairy, homeless, drunk, sick and pitiful.
Jolene knew the right thing to do was to throw him out but she doesn’t have the heart to do so. Now the man was in her house sleeping on her couch.
After she was done, she stepped out and spot a figure staring intently at her.
Jaxon Miller.
Her expression softened and a smile flashed on her face.
“Mr. Jaxon! Oh uhm.. gosh I can’t believe you’re standing right before me. I love your movies. Welcome back” Jolene said and after a while of silence, Jaxon smiled.
“So you’re fan?”
“Huh?”
“Never mind. What’s your name?”
“Jolene” Jolene responded wondering why the man would ask for a common girl like her. Though, Tatiana doesn’t see her common. She sees her like her sister.
“Jolene, hump.. nice name” he complimented, shocking her.
“Thanks. It’s really nice to meet you” Jolene bowed. “I..I have to go”
Jaxon nodded and watched her leave. He stared at her retreating back and muttered.
“Cute”
She didn’t recognize him as the guy she scolded this evening, for the close car accident. She was at fault but instead she was the one who flared up. He found it cute.
Indigo decide to get fresh air outside and there, she spot Hudson standing and staring at the sky.
“Hi” Indigo stood beside him and he looked at her briefly before returning his gaze back to her.
“France is sure treating you well. You’ve added weight” Hudson said.
“Hm. But I kinda like Australia more”
“Is that your way of saying you’re staying?” Hudson asked meeting her gaze.
“Perhaps” she shrugged.
Hudson didn’t reply. He slowly turned and left.
Indigo sighed. “What’s with him again?”

[PRISON]
Clad in a yellow jumpsuit meant for hard crime prisoners. Nathan was seated around the corner of the cell, seemingly to be taking a quick nap as light snores could be heard coming from him. His face was covered in dirt and his hair messy.
The loud clash on the door jolt him up from his sleep and his eyes fluttered open.
He remain his posture, knowing anything that was happening behind him was no concern of him. No one had ever visited ever since his downfall. His families and allies turned against him in the time of help.
Nothing hurts more than that.
“You’ve got a new cellmate. Don’t kill each other” Nathan heard the military man state and the door shutting.
Another cell mate? Now they are four in a room. Great.
Nathan hear footsteps which got louder at each step, indicating the new cell mate approaching him.
When the footsteps stopped, silence rented the room. Nathan eyes remained closed not until the man spoke.
“You look like shit. Your fingers gone, your toes cut off. You’re crippled as they say. Your torturer is definitely my kind person”
Nathan’s eyes flew opened with shock. His body tensed at the voice and slowly shifted his gaze to the man.
Recognizing him, his jaw clinched.
The man titled his head one side and grin. “Aren’t you going to say hi?” The man asked.
“He haven’t spoken a word since he got here. Stop bothering him newbie” One of the other cellmate mentioned and the man laughed. He looked back at Nathan and laughed again.
“Is that so? That’s preposterous” He crouched before him “The Nathan Redmond I know would never keep his mouth shut. He loves boosting about his wealth and power.”
Nathan breath was uneven. Anger blanketed his feature.
The man before him was Tristan. Tristan Wallington. The uncle who betrayed Issabella. One of the brutal figure in the ring. He have a calm, angelic face. Looks younger than his age and handsome too.
No wonder Issabella trusted this man.
Nathan watched Tristan’s head tilted one side.
“You aren’t going to say anything. Mr. King isn’t here to torture you. Speak”
Speak what? Nathan asked inwardly. He tried to find his voice but couldn’t. He was traumatized. Cassius was a devil in disguise.
“Speak” Tristan spat. His smile had disappeared replaced with a slight anger. Tristan doesn’t have a gift of patience. He’s a Physcopath.
Tristan fist flew to Nathan’s face, delivering a swift hit that forced a painful groan out of Nathan’s throat.
“Speak” He demanded after Nathan forced himself to sit again. Blood stained his lips. When he didn’t reply, Tristan struck him on the same cheek.
Nathan’s eyes blurred. The hit was harder than the first. He saw stars.
“Speak!” he demanded again and made to hit him again.
“What do you think you’re doing!?” One of the other cellmate stood. The other one joined too.
Tristan looked at both of them. “What does it look like? I’m forcing him to speak”
“If he doesn’t want to speak then let it be. You can treat a cripple man like that…” The first spoke.
Tristan raised a brow. “Aren’t you guys brutal criminals? When did you start giving a fuck about a cripple”
“Maybe we are different kind. If you hurt or kill him, we’ll get into trouble too” the second spoke.
Tristan looked back at Nathan and sighed. “Fine”. He stood and face the others. “Well–”
‘He might kill them’ Nathan thought but…
“I need some sleep” Tristan said and approached the empty he’d meant for him. As he laid on it, Nathan’s face dropped. This asshole never let things slide. He’ll definitely plan something.
One thing he knew. Tristan came into prison because of him.
This is bad.

Jolene jolt up from her sleep hearing the loud clash downstairs. She spranged up from her bed and rush down only to meet her living room in a mess and her father bringing out stuff from her fridge.
“Rowan!” Jolene called him by name.
Rowan stopped searching the fridge and faced her. His eyes flashed with guilt.
“I’m… Sorry. I… I was just hungry” he stuttered, avoiding eyes contact.
“Well you could have just asked instead of scattering the whole place, Rowan!” Jolene yelled.
“I’m so sorry.. I’m really sorry”
“Sorry? Sorry for what exactly?!” She yelled again and tried her best to calm her nerves.
“I’ll clean it up” He said.
Jolene turned and left to her room without answering.
After a while, Jolene came downstairs all prepared for work and saw that her father had indeed cleaned up the mess.
“I’m sorry” her father apologized again. Seriously, what in the world happened to him after he left.
Jolene decided to prepare breakfast for both of them. As the sat across each other, Jolene couldn’t help but stared at the man time to time.
“Why did you leave?” She couldn’t help but asked. Rowan slowly looked up at her. Guilt flashed on those weathered face of his.
“I didn’t… I didn’t mean to”
“I asked why… Sigh.. you know what, never mind” Jolene shook her head and began to eat.
“Where is Melissa?” Rowan asked and Jolene felt a pang of anger at the mention of her mother’s name.
“She’s dead” she looked up to him, tears blurring her sight. “After you left us when I was six, she died four years later. And I had to live with my aunt who hated me so much and maltreated me. I wouldn’t be what I am today if it wasn’t for Tatiana. So whatever reason you have on why you left us that day, won’t make me forgive you”
Sadness blanketed his gaze and Jolene cared less.
“I’m leaving” Jolene mentioned with eating more of her meal and left while Rowan sighed in despair.

“Jolene Grey is Tatiana’s assistant?” Jaxon asked after making his research on Jolene. Hudson nodded.
“Tatiana Wallington?” Jaxon asked, his voice sounded displeased. “The Wallington second daughter”
“Idol is a cool woman”
“Right, your idol. She was the one I saw at the event. What was she doing at the event?”
“She’s Indigo’s friend” Hudson replied.
“Hmm.. where does she live? I mean the cute… Sorry Jolene” he corrected himself.
“Are you going to stalk her?” Hudson asked.
“No.. pfftt why the heck would I stalk. I’m not a stalker. I just want to know where she stays”
“Then ask her yourself” Hudson replied and Jaxon rolled his eyes. He stood up to leave.
“Fine, I shouldn’t have come ask you in the first place” As Jaxon left the office, he made a call.
“Jolene Grey. Find out her address”

While the media was going crazy with Tatiana’s photoshoot.. someone wasn’t pleased.
His blue eyes stared at the arms Gavin hand circled around Tatiana’s waist. The affections in the eyes and they stayed close.
‘Easy Cassius. It’s just a shoot’ his subconscious mind assured.
He zoomed in the picture just to check if he really touched her.
“What are you doing?” Tatiana’s voice sounded at the entrance of his study room. “It’s late Cash. What did I tell you about working so late?”
Cassius dropped his phone.
“Come here little rebel” he demanded and she obliged.
Cassius made her sit on his lap and met her gaze. Her tucked her hair behind her ear and she smiled.
“Have you seen the photo shoots. What do you think?” She asked.
“Ending someone’s life”
“Mr. King, are you jealous?” She titled her head and asked cutely.
“Maybe”
“He didn’t touch me, I promise” she whispered and slowly kissed his forehead. A kiss which felt like it reached his soul.
Cassius mind drifted to how Jaxon challenge him about the Wallington. Tatiana still bare that monster’s surname and there’s only one way to clear her from that legacy.
Apart from that, he had wanted to say this a long time ago.
“Rebel?” He called softly and pulled her closer.
“Hm” her arms remained wrapped around his neck.
“Let’s get married”
Her fingers that was playing with his black jet hair stopped abruptly and she froze.
“What?” She muttered, her voice barely audible. Her eyes was tearing up, she was about to cry.
Cassius caressed her hair.
“How about you become Tatiana King? I want you to become my wife…”
