Jonathan quaked with rage as he watched Jason ravish Jessie. He quaked with rage because his half brother, someone he always admired all his life kissed the woman he loved. All this while he could never lose respect for his brother, he admired him way to much and for far too much. To think a woman would come between them? But it wasn't just any woman, it was Jessie. Worse it hurt him because he wanted to he the one that made her moan like that. At the end of the day she'd choose.
And how dare she? Just kiss him like that right before him, like his feelings were a joke? Fine she was clear about Jason but how the he could she disrespect him like this? Too angry to form a reasonable argument as to why he shouldn't just move forward and break up the kiss and make a scene. Like hell he was going to let them have the time of their lives as he stepped forward someone grabbed him from behind.
Whipping around with angry eyes to pour out his frustrations on the person that dared stop him.
"Mother?" His eyes widening as he realized she was the one.
"Don't." She warned him.
"How can't I? Let go!" He pulled his arm away. But she held on tighter. Pulling him away into the corner.
"What the hell? Don't stop me!" He yelled angrily.
But she reached out and grabbed him. "What do you think is going to happen? You're only going to push Jessie away."
"Like she's mine?" He huffed.
"Exactly, you don't have the luxury of acting out." She informed him.
"How is that fair? Why does Jason get to act out and get her? Why can't I do the same?" He asked the pain evident in his voice.
"Because it's clear who she's in love with." Celeste tried to convince her stubborn child. Realising the statement didn't arise any expressions of surprise she sighed. "But you already knew that didn't you?" She held her son's shoulders tightly
"Mom, all my life you thought me to love my elder brother, saying we were the only ones that could understand each other and the burdens that come with our birth. Burdens with having a father like that, I even sided with him when he was planning to take over the company!" He started. "That's all I did, love him. Even when I first came here, I didn't want to but you made me. He was never kind to me, but I still loved him. I thought that was his defense mechanism. But now-"
"What? You suddenly hate him? Because of a woman? You going to let someone come in the way of your relationship?" Celeste asked interrupting him.
"WHAT RELATIONSHIP?!!" He yelled pushing her away.
Celeste huffed at her son's aggressiveness.
"Are you listening to me at all? Why do you always do this? I'm your son not Jason, why does he have to get everything and yet I still try to understand why? Why did he have to grow up with a dad and I didn't? Why does he have to get everything and I don't? All I do is want to know my family and everyone looks at me with hateful eyes, like some thief?" He spat. "And now? He has Jessie and I should understand? Does my feelings not even matter to you? My mother?" He asked bitterly.
Celeste eyes shut as tears fell down her cheeks as she watched her son go through so much pain, he didn't deserve. "Correct, you right." She cried. "It all my fault, you did nothing wrong. It was mom that had an affair with a married man, you didn't so anything wrong. You don't deserve to live like this."
"But I'm only trying to protect you, Jason is the heir, fighting with him won't be advantageous for you. If you ever going to get an inheritan-"
"I don't want a stupid inheritance!" He screamed, starling even his mother. "I don't want anything of the sort. All I wanted was for my family to love me, what can I do when my own brother sees me as a thief? When my father only sees me as a tool to threaten his eldest son?" He asked with so much rue. "That's fine, I don't care anymore, I'm done letting go. I want Jessie, and I don't care about anything else I'm going to get her." He stated firmly.
"Hey! Do you like her so much? There are millions of girls that would want to be with you!" She yelled.
"I don't give a fuck about a million girls, I'm not going to let Jason have his way this time. I refuse to understand someone that wouldn't give me the time of day." He said.
"And so? How do you intend on getting her? She's in love with your brother." Celeste pointed out.
"I doubt she would love him if I have everything he does." Jonathan spat.
"What does that mean?"
"It means I want Jason's position now, mother. I want everything that he has." He spat angrily. "I want it all."

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?" Krystal asked Paul as he walked back to her.
"Hm?" He responded absentmindedly.
"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?" She asked again,
"... because I probably have..." he mumbled in the same stoic manner causing Krystal to peep out of the curve he just came from. Her eyes widened when she saw Jessie and Jason getting down in the middle of a hospital hallway.
"Oh my!" She gasped covering her hand with her mouth. "No wonder you look so surprised." She nodded with a shudder. Just watching them gave her goosebumps.
"What? Them? Lol, that's about time." He replied dismissively. "What? Do you not sense the sizzling attraction between those two?"
"I... I knew that Jaaon has feelings for Jessie but... he has the characters and personality of a rotten egg, why would she subject her self to that?" She ranted without thinking.
"You do realise Jason is my best friend right?" Paul said in a low and dangerous tone, causing Krystal to begin to regret her decision to be so free. She had a problem controlling her tongue around people that made her nervous and with the way her stalked towards her right now, her heart was frantically fast.
"I-I don't... I didn't mean..." she stuttered and stammered, unable to form sentences.
"What? You don't what? You didn't mean what?" He asked "why isn't is surprising for Jason to like Jessie and for her to like him back?"
That lit a different kind of fuse in her, suddenly she stopped fueled with 'fan-aderanaline' "of course he would fall in love with her, she is goddamn freaking Jessie Marin. I doubt there's a man on the earth that would live with her long enough not to develop feelings."
Paul brow tilted in amusement at her statement. Jessie was beautiful no doubt but wasn't that exaggerating? And also, Jason was easily that much of a spec.
As though hearing his thoughts she continued "I'll admit Jason is one of the attractive men I've ever seen but his sour temperament cancels all that out." She stated.
Even Paul had to acknowledge that but that didn't mean he gave up , he wanted to get her flustered again. Somehow it just made him amused seeing her fumble for words, something he was sure didn't happen very often. "But you must have known Jessie liked him back? You even saw them in Jonathan's house."
"What? The hug? Oh please, that was nothing it was simply Jessie being Jessie. 'The art of seduction', use your opponents feelings aganist him. It was easy to pull out a favourable reaction from him, he already liked her. It's a three step move from one of her dramas." She said matter of factly.
Paul laughed in amusement, should he admire Jessie for being so brazen or be sad for his clueless friend?
"Still... seems her 'seduction' backfired. Besides she's not the only one capable of seduction." He resumed his stalk "Jason might be unbearable to others but he is unbelievably attentive and sweet when he is in love."
Krystal back hit the wall, all her newly found adrenaline gone, she felt like her heart would explode. How dare he stare at her like that???
"Attributes that make him.." he leaned down to whisper in her ear, making her squirm aganist him. "Such a wonderful lover."
"What the hell are you doing to that innocent girl?" A familiar voice asked from besides them.
Paul entire dangerous facade disappeared immediately as he stood up straight and looked at the source with a knowing smile. "It's been forever, are you okay?" She asked.
"Hey! You missed my engagement." He frowned.
"I'm sorry. I know I should've have been there to support you."
"Damn straight." He agreed, "how dare you let my mother hang up on me with no one on my side?"
"Are you mad?"
He smiled, "how can I be? I'm not petty like you." Eyeing the stethoscope around her neck and the labcoat. "I missed you Dr. Park. Welcome back."
"Thank you, it's good to be back."
