Jessie sat on the bench staring at the water fountain. Why did she feel so uneasy? Why did that seem like a goodbye?

"No matter what anyone says you are my star. You shine brighter than the sun, and you are the best, the standard."
"Why are you saying this things? Tony what is in this flash drive? Why are you scaring me?!" Jessie whined.
Tony laughed, placing his hands on her shoulders he cupped her cheek. "It's nothing serious, don't mind me. I just wanted you to know that I'll always be in your corner, even though it might not seem like it right now you are the brightest star there is."
Jessie shook her head, "let's change the subject. How are the girls? I haven't seen them in a while."
"They are having so much fun with their grandparents they don't even have time to call their dad these days." Tony said.
'"That right, I haven't apologised about last time have I?"
"About what?"
"Jason, he uses your girls as hostages last he was searching for me."
Tony laughed. "I honestly forgot about that. I don't accept your apology."
"Huh?"
"Get him to apologise himself." Tony said.
"When pigs fly."

Jonathan stood outside his mother house trying to calm his trembling hands. He didn't know what to say, how to think, but he was angry. He was mad! Two days ago he took Jason's toothbrush just to humor Jessie. Did the test to prove to her his mother would never do something like that. His shock! Ninety nine point nine percent sure of parentage. His mother was Jason's mother, Jason's mother that was supposed to be dead, dead for fifteen years.
"Jonathan! What are you doing here? And standing outside at that?"
Jonathan swallowed but said nothing.
"What is wrong with you? You should have called me earlier before you came, mother is going out." She said "if you are not busy you can wait inside, there food in the warmer, em?" She patted his cheek and walked around him towards her car.
"Is Jason your son?" Jonathan finally asked.
Celeste froze in her tracks, spinning around. "What?"
"Is Jason your son?" He asked again, turning to face her. This time she noticed the paper in his left hand.
"Seems like you already know." Celeste stated bluntly.
"You're not even going to deny it? Say... perhaps you weren't aware?" Jonathan asked.
Celeste starred at him with a pointed stare. "How did you find out?"
"Does that matter?"
"It was Jessie Marin wasn't it?" Celeste said, "so she finally struck." She muttered underneath her breath.
"Does it matter? The fact it that you lied! Now I know why I spent my entire childhood in boarding schools and hostels. All of a sudden you appeared and started to act like a mother. I thought was the luckiest boy in the world when you took me out of school that day, when I got to come home to you everyday." Jonathan spat, "all because of those years I spent lonely in school, waiting, praying I get to see you that semester. Hoping you come for me during the holidays, apparently you were having fun with your other son!"
Celeste sighed. "Jonathan... is not-"
"Then how is it? Huh? Tell me, if I was your son and Jason's brother why did I grow up with a family? Without a father, without a brother even without you! Why did Jason get everything?!"
"You are not a Kang! Not really anyway?" Celeste stated.
"What?"
"Xavier is not your father."
Jonathan shook his head. "That does not make any sense? How them I'm I an heir in Kang empire? Why is my surname Kang? Does my fath- does Mr. Kang know?"
"No."
"He does not know that I am not his son?"
"No."
"Are you going to explain?"
"Look i did this for you Jonathan, you said Jason shouldn't have everything, I agree. Why should he have the entire empire? You deserve to be a conglomerate heir as well." Celeste said.
Jonathan shook his head and ran his hand through his hair. "You're kidding right?"
"I got pregnant for you when Jason was still a baby, he was barely four. But it wasn't Xavier's child. So when I gave birth I told him that the child died, but I gave you one of his lovers and had her present you to him as his child." Celeste explained.
"Where is this woman?"
"She died, tragically barely a month after you were born." Celeste shrugged. "Look Jonathan-"
"Don't touch me. Where you ever planning on telling me?" Jonathan asked.
"You weren't supposed to find out, but now the cats out of the bag what are you going to do? Tell Xavier he's not your real dad? And loose your shares and your influence, the power you currently hold because of that name?" His mother asked. "Keep your mouth shut and remain grateful to this mother of yours." She said "like I said, I have somewhere I need to be, see you son." She states walking away.

"What? Paradise really has a shadow president?" Jason asked.
"We always suspected it, but I had it confirmed since you weren't really involved in the past month." Matt stated.
"Have you discovered the identity of the person?"
"No, not yet. He is too careful and too meticulous. Never shows up in person and leave cryptic messages. They a planning something big, that paradise." Matt replied.
Jason pursed his lips and sighed. Ever since he realised that Paradise was not all his mother explained to him he had been looking for a way to end it. A country should be led by a president and not a group of old people that have no business still existing anyway. He always knew there was corruption in the world, but this... was just too surprising.
"Have you managed to link them to the auction house, the members."
"No, It is obvious that they are part of it but I can't find any paper trail. Perhaps their agreement is the same as you had with George Lee."
Jason nodded. "Good work." Matt bowes and turned to leave but Jason stopped him.
"Yesterday, why did you make Jessie believe that I actually fired you?"
Matt blinked in confusion. "But Mr. Kang, you did the exact same thing."
"Because you started it first, besides she's my girlfriend. She believed she worked so hard to make me happy I couldn't destroy that." Jason stated "what's your excuse?"
"The exact same reason, she was so passionate the day she came to ask me to come over for breakfast."
"Ahhh, you seen really interested in my girlfriend feelings."
"Ofcourse!" Jason's eyes narrowed at his bluntness. "If she is sad you will be sad-"
"So you care about my feelings? Didn't take you for the emotional type."
Matt shook his head, "I'm not, but when you are displeased about something the entire office suffers for it."
"Hey!"
"That would be all Mr. Kang!" He bowed quickly and dashed out.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
