Chapter 17

Lexi Stokes:

I and Jason had another round in the shower before heading out of the room for our breakfast Carolyn screamed when she saw Jason and started staggering to him. Jason bent down and carried her "Hey Lyn, how was your night?"

Carolyn babbled and pulled Jason hair. Jason laughed at her and started playing with her cheeks "Good morning" Lexi Ryan said and walked past us in a mini skirt, and I couldn't help myself from rolling my eyes.

Last night, when the three of us were together in the kitchen, she had told me how sorry she was but still, I wasn't okay with her being by my side or by Jason's side "I've been noticing you since last night, you don't like her?" Jason asked me in whisper "Yeah, I don't. But I don't want to talk about it now. Maybe later"

Jason shrugged, said okay and we walked to the dining room.

"I hope you don't mind" Carmella said when I stepped inside the kitchen. Carmella was preparing breakfast "Yes, I don't. Do you need any help?"

"No thank you"

I walked back to the dining room and sat down beside Jason "Good morning" an extremely familiar voice said, and I looked up to see Casper smiling at all of us. He and Jason were extremely identical and if Carmella and I weren't careful, we might get them mixed up and go to bed with the wrong man.

"Good morning" we replied, and he sat down next to Lexi Ryan who was typing away on her phone.

After having our breakfast, Jason called Casper into his office and discussed something with him.

Casper Hart:

When Jason told me what he wanted me to do, I had turned him down because I was scared of the consequences.

"Don't you want to meet them?" He asked me while looking into my grey eyes "I want to but..."

"No one can tell us apart if that is what you're scared of" he got out of his seat and started walking out of the room "Dad is waiting for you. I'm going to lend you one of my outfit"

He walked out of his office and I followed him Thirty minutes later, I was in Jason's Maserati, driving to his parents’ house, our parents’ house.

I pulled up in front of their house and a chauffeur took the car key from me and drove it to the garage "Jason," a short woman said. She was my biological mother. "Thank goodness you finally showed up," she hugged me tightly and looked up. "Your father is really furious with you right now. Why are you doing this to him? Why are you doing this to us? You know how important the Stokes enterprises is to him. Your actions are bringing us down. We didn't choose the girl for you; you chose her yourself. You said you love her, and we accepted her."

I felt bad for what my stupidity had cost my family and I slowly unwrapped the woman's hands that were around my waist.

"Where is he?" I asked calmly. I was trying to act like Jason "In his office" she replied "he haven't been sleeping for days, so, you have to watch your mouth, don't run it because he's extremely mad at you right now"

"Okay mom. Don't worry" I said and started heading inside the building even though I had no idea where the office was "But why did you do it?" Mom asked and I stopped on my track. I turned around and faced her "Do what...mom?" I added the last word slowly. And even though I knew this was my biological mom, I still doesn't feel the connection between us. She was a total stranger to me "Why did you cheat on your wife? You said you love her"

I wanted to tell her that Jason didn't do it, that it was I, Casper her long lost son that framed him up. But I couldn't because Jason promised me an unforgettable introduction "I do mom. I really do love her. I was drunk during the video that you saw"

Mom looked at me with a face that was full of 'let-down' before saying "You are nothing like your father. Go meet your father, he is waiting for you"

"Okay" I said, turned back and entered the building. I looked around the sitting room and I almost started drooling because of how beautiful the room was.

"Jason spent his childhood here" I thought "You spent yours in the slum' I stopped looking around the room- because of the bad thought that were going through my head- and I started trying to navigate my way to Dad's home office "Young master" someone called, and I turned around. A young maid was standing behind me "Master is in his office" she said and unconsciously pointed at the office

"Oh...okay" I said and walked past her. When I got to the office door, I stood in front of it and breathe in heavily to calm myself down. When I calmed down enough, I knocked on the door twice and dad said "Come in"

I pressed the door handle slowly and stepped inside. It was obvious that dad wasn't happy with Jason because of how hard his face was. He motioned to me to sit down on one of the chairs that were in front of him, and I slowly walked to it.

The moment I sat down, he threw a file at me and I went through it. Few of the shareholders were planning to pull out. I looked up from the file and faced dad's anger "Do you know the worst part of what you are doing? It's that you don't know it havoc. I was trying to talk sense into your brain this morning, but you were busy fucking your wife on the phone"

I blinked twice when I heard this "What is wrong with you!? Stop giving me that look"

"What look?" I thought

"I gave you everything for free, Money! Privilege! Power! I gave them to you for free and all what I wanted back from you was for you to run my company the right way. But you, you are nothing but a disgrace"

On a normal day, I would have gotten out of my seat and walked out of the room, but I don't know how Jason act around dad, so, I stayed in the chair, listening to how disgraceful Jason was as his son.

"I'm sure everything would have been different if you have one or two siblings to compete with but Ariana..." Dad trailed off and I said "I'm sorry"

Dad eyes lit up and stared at me for some seconds "What did you just say?"

"I said I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything" the reason why I was sorry was different from the reason that dad thought that I was sorry for "Did you just say that you're sorry?"

"Yes dad. I promise I’ll never do this again"

"You have never said that word before in your life"

"That is because my mistakes weren't worth it before."

After discussing what I had to do to stop those shareholders from pulling out, I walked out of his office "No fight this time around?" someone asked, and I cocked my head to see who it was, it was mom "Yeah. We talked things out" I said and started walking toward her "Mom, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes sweetie"

"When I was born, was I born alone or...with someone else?"

Mom looked at me and gasped when she understood my question "Jason...how do you know?" She asked with a shaky voice "How do I know what?"

"How do you know about your twin brother?"

"I was born a twin. Why haven't you ever told me about it?'

"Because he died...he died, and I wanted to forget about him" she started sobbing "May his soul rest in peace"

I frowned at her in anger. Even if I wasn't Jason, I thought she had no right to keep it away from Jason "you don't have the right to keep it away from me mom. Even though he died, you're supposed to tell me. I am supposed to know that I didn't come to this world alone, that I came to this world with a companion. Both you and dad weren't supposed to keep it away from me"

I walked past her, and dad's office door opened "Jason" she cried "How do you know?"

Dad ran toward mom and started fondling her. I turned around and looked at them; they didn't even know that I wasn't Jason.

“Because I am that twin brother. I'm Casper, not Jason. That is my secret" I replied to her and walked out of the house
