Jayson's POV 🌹 Turning to the left side of the bed as I felt the urge to open my eyes... obviously the sleep as exhausted it's limited time and I could no longer continue... no matter how hard I try. My eyes flutter open and I stretched out... sprawling on the huge king sized bed as it soked me in on total comfort... the cool atmosphere. The wavering life of a filthy rich man like me. Man?....... damn I'm just 28.... it's kinda old referring to myself as a man. I sluggishly sat up and scratched a particular spot on my mid left arm that wouldn't cease to itch me... it feels kinda good though but it hurts slightly. Looking around and that's when my eyes caught what made my beautiful morning smile vanished. "Don't tell me that bîtch is still hanging around," I muttered... standing up as my legs slilds into my golden flips... it's always on that spot and whenever my legs leave the bed... it lands right in it. ............ Walking down shirtless as my hair was a complete mess... the smell of something cooking hits my nostrils and I frowned. I opened the kitchen in haste and there she was cooking as she danced to the music playing from her phone. I couldn't hide my irritation as I briskly walked up to her... tapping her roughly. She spun around and a smirk displays on her face... "Hey handsome!...... you are finally awake... thought you were going to sleep your life away," she said as she focused on what ever junk she was cooking. I rubbed my forehead as I felt my anger building up slowly. "What the f**k are you doing?....... I don't expect see you here in the morning," I said and she frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?...... what do you take me for?....... a slût?" She said as she continues doing her thing. "I literally met you in a clubhouse and yes that's what you are... I don't even know your name," I said as I began to wonder what this bîtch was up to. "But I know everything about you... we can start from there," she said biting her lips and I huffed... turning off the gas. "Get out!" I yelled and she flinched... following me behind as I walked out of the kitchen. "Jayson... what are you doing?... you just can't ask me to leave... I thought we had something going on," she said and I stopped dead on my tracks... this female has definitely lost it. I simply ignored her as I went upstairs... picking her dirty clothes from my expensive floor and bundling some cash. I met her sitting down and without wasting much time I dumped everything on her.. flinging the cash at her. "What the actual f**k!" she shrikes as I grabbed her hands. "One night stand and no f*****g strings attached... I don't do commitments!!!" I said as I hollered her out. "You will definitely pay for this!" she yells as I slammed the door on her... sighing softly as I walked towards the couch. Why are women like this?... always trying to pin emotions on everything... that's so tiring... maybe going celibate would make things better but that's definitely impossible... no way. "Young master," Noah my personal assistant said as I slowly looked up... he smiles judging from the frown on my face he already knew what had happened. "I'm so pissed right now," I said and he chuckled. "I think it's high time you stop with all these women... don't you think?" He said trying to sound as polite as possible. I frowned lightly but it out replaced with a smirk. "The joy of having women fighting just to spend the night with me?... you seriously want me to give that up?" I said and he pinched the bridge of his fingers... looking back at me as I throwed the question at him. "I'm just saying... that people like you would eventually find your match and that's when you will feel exactly what all these women you are trashing away felt," he said and I couldn't help but laugh at his notion. "Oh really... you really think that I will meet someone who would make me fall in love?... that's absurd," I said and he chuckles slightly. "You never can tell though... life has it's funny ways of playing tricks on us," he said and I pinched the bridge of my nose... looking at him frantically. "I don't do commitments... love are for losers... and aimless people so let's stop talking about it," I said and he opened his mouth to say something but stopped himself. "As the young master pleases," he said and I sighed... standing up when my phone started ringing upstairs. Noah immediately went for it as I sat down... it better not be who I think it is. I'm not in the mood for any family drama or discussion. "Who's that?" I asked Noah and he was smiling nervously... right there and then I knew who it was. "Ignore it... and switch off my phone," I said without looking at him as I made to turn on the TV. "But sir it's your mother," he said as he looks at me like I have suddenly grown horns. "And I said ignore it... you know how much I hate to repeat myself Noah," I said and the call ended... he proceeds to give me my phone after switching it off. I sighed. "But what if it was something important?" He asked again but my attention was soley on the television. "The both of us knows that my mom as a nack for complaints and I'm sure it's about business... I'm definitely not in the mood for explanations," I said and he bows respectfully. "What will you like to have for breakfast?" He asked and I scoffed instead. "I'm not hungry yet... you can leave," I said waving him off... in as much as I like having him around he's just like my mother... always preaching and making my ears bleed. He bows again and heads for the door but the door bell made my head turn. Who could that be?... can't I just have some peace and quiet?... f**k! "Are you expecting anyone young master?" Noah asked... waiting for my approval before opening the door "Are you expecting anyone young master?" Noah asked as he stood by the door... his hands on the knob. "No... definitely not," I said and he nods... pulling the door open as his eyes widened... he stood frozen for a few seconds before he finally spoke. "Good morning ma'am," he said and my heart skipped a beat... damn it! "I hope I'm not in any way disturbing you guys?" her voice fills the room and I sighed... turning off the TV as I stood up. "Mom... what are you doing here?" I asked as I walked towards her... she was dressed in a simple but elegant dress... her hair packed in a bun. "Can't a mother visit her son anymore?" she said as she walked past Noah... her eyes scanning the room. "You know that's not what I meant... I was just surprised to see you here this early," I said as I hugged her... she smells like expensive perfume... as usual. "I called you several times but you didn't pick up... I had to come and see for myself if you were still alive," she said as she sat on the couch... her eyes still scanning the room. "I was busy mom... I'm sorry," I said as I sat opposite her... Noah was still standing by the door... looking nervous. "You can leave us now Noah... I'll take it from here," she said and Noah nods... walking out of the room. "So... what brings you here mom?" I asked... trying to sound as calm as possible. "We need to talk Jayson... about the business and your life," she said and I sighed... here we go again. "What about my life mom?... I'm doing just fine," I said and she scoffed. "Are you?... Jayson you are 28... you need to start thinking about the future... about getting married and starting a family," she said and I rolled my eyes. "Mom... not this again... I told you I'm not interested in getting married... at least not now," I said and she frowned. "And when will that be?... when you are 50?... Jayson... I'm not getting any younger and I want to see my grandchildren before I die," she said and I sighed. "You are not dying anytime soon mom... you are still young and healthy," I said and she smiles. "That's not the point Jayson... the point is that you need to settle down... I've already picked out a few girls for you to meet," she said and I groaned. "Mom... please... stop doing this... I can find my own girl if I want to," I said and she laughed. "Like the ones you bring home for one-night stands?... Jayson... I know everything that goes on in this house," she said and I felt a bit embarrassed. "I'm a grown man mom... I can do whatever I want," I said and she nods. "I know that... but you need someone who will be there for you... someone who will love you for who you are and not for your money," she said and I scoffed. "And you think those girls you picked out will love me for who I am?... they're only interested in my money mom... just like everyone else," I said and she sighed. "Not everyone is like that Jayson... you just haven't met the right person yet," she said and I stayed silent. "Anyway... I didn't come here just to talk about your love life... I also came to talk about the business," she said as she pulled out a file from her bag. "What about the business?" I asked... curious. "There's a new project that I want you to handle... it's a bit complicated but I know you can do it," she said as she handed me the file. I opened the file and scanned through the pages... it was indeed a complicated project... but it was also very interesting. "I'll look into it mom... thank you," I said and she smiles. "Good... I knew I could count on you," she said as she stood up. "I'll leave you to it then... and please Jayson... think about what I said," she said as she walked towards the door. "I will mom... goodbye," I said as she walked out of the room. I sighed as I looked at the file... my mom can be really annoying sometimes but I know she only wants what's best for me. I just wish she would stop interfering in my personal life. I was about to start reading the file when my phone started ringing again... it was Noah. "What is it Noah?" I asked as I picked up the call. "Sir... there's a problem at the office," he said... his voice sounding worried. "What kind of problem?" I asked... frowning. "It's better if you come and see for yourself sir... it's urgent," he said and I sighed. "I'll be there in ten minutes," I said as I hung up the call. I quickly got dressed and headed for the office... I wonder what could be the problem this time.
