Chapter 74

"Mr. Kenwood, we will reach there in thirty minutes." Phil informed Jason, as he was driving today, they were currently sitting in his car, it took only an hour to reach there from Jason's home, it was the place that he wished he could forget a about,

Jason gave him a curd nod, he didn't tell anyone beside Austin about where he was going.

"Phil, open the windows." Jason ordered him, within seconds the windows of his black car were down, letting him feel the cold winds.

When he was a kid, he used to love the trees and the sound of birds, that was the reason his parents chose this place.

The summer was most beautiful here, the green trees were greener and vibrant looking with the clear sky.

As the car stopped in front of a construction site, he knew they were there, "Mr. Kenwood we are-"

"I know!" Jason cut him off and got out of the car.

Fixing his black suit, he looked at the place that was his parents dream, the half build mansion, which was broken just the way his family broke.

Some parts of the mansion were about to come fall off, "The construction stopped after-," Phil became quite after Jason raised his hand to shut him.

Jason turned his gaze towards the tree that was the reason for which he visited here every three months.

The leaves weren't as much green as they used to be when he was a child, but it still looks magnificent, after all such a huge tree wasn't going to fall that easily.

"Start the construction of this place, I want it to complete within a year!"

Phil widens his eyes, he didn't expect that Jason would suddenly wish to construct this place again, "Mr. Kenwood are you sure, I mean it has been already more than eight years?"

Jason nodded, he wanted to build the dream of his family, where they wished to spend their summers together, but unfortunately this place became a nightmare for them, that took away the lives of his parents, all because they trusted the wrong man.

But he knew his parents loved this place as much as he did, so he wanted to make sure this mansion builds same way as they wished.

"I hope you heard what I said Phil, don't delay it anymore, start the construction from next week." Jason replied.

Phil couldn't help but sigh, the way he said it means Jason was giving him this week to finalize everything and the work should start from next week.

"Got it Mr. Kenwood." Phil didn't have any choice but to do as he told, after all he worked for the man who was sometimes very nice and sometimes cold as an ice.

Jason went near the tree, the sudden tightness in his chest, made it unbearable for him to hold the pain, as tears filled his eyes.

His hand reached to touch the tree, the smile on his mother's face was still fresh in his mind as they were playing around this huge tree, when they once visited this place.

"Mr. Kenwood do you wish to visit your parents grave?"

Jason didn't reply to his question, which gave Phil his answer, in all these years he only visited there twice, when he was a kid.

"I hope you got the point, so... let's go I have a meeting to attend." Phil became scared when he heard about the meeting.

They went to the car, Jason sat in the back seat, Phil could see the tears in his eyes, which he tried to hide but failed and as usual Phil decided to ignore it, as Jason never wants to show people his weakness.

"First drop me at his company."

"What! Were you sure?" Phil had a bad feeling about this.

*****

Jake kept all his things on the desk, today was his first day at his father's company, he never thought he would give in to his father's demand, but he realized that if he wanted to get something he had to give up his freedom.

"I'm glad that you finally decided to come here." John said sarcastically, entering inside his cabin, eyeing his son, who was wearing an outfit which wasn't perfect for a business meeting.

"Did you leave me any choice!" The anger was evident in his voice which was directed to his father, "What are you wearing, do you think it's okay to attend the meeting in a torn jean and hoodie?" John shouted ignoring his words, Jake was sure that the people outside could clearly hear him.

"You never told me I had to dress up in formals!" Jake replied, which was a lie, infect Sarah was forcing him to wear a suit but he was too stubborn to listen, as he wanted to piss off his father.

"Do you have any idea that today we have a very important meeting!"

Jake kept quiet he was used to this, "The meeting is so important that Jason is also going to be here!" This revelation shocked Jake.

"I knew you would do something like this, so I already had a backup." John smirked, as he gave a call to someone, and soon there was a knock on the door.

Jake frowned as he saw a man entering, with a bag in his hand, "What is it?"

"Your suit, just go and put it on, without any drama." John warned him, he knew his son was a rebel.

Jake walked towards the man who visibly flinched when Jake snatched the bag from his hand.

He went inside the room that was in the cabin and changed in the brown suit with black stars at the sleeves, he didn't like it that much, but it wasn't that bad.

"Make sure you do your best, I don't want you to disgrace me!" John gave him a warning, and made sure he knew that if he did any mistakes he will have to face consequences for it.

Jake fixed his hair and smiled, "You should know by now, these warnings doesn't work on me." He knew this was coming, but he wasn't going to let his father walk all over him this time.
