Chapter 6: Davis Mansion.
Cynthia looked after Martin like her own son. She made sure that Johnson and Martin were there for each other, in every path of life, without any thought of stepbrother.
But Unfortunately, after Jessica entered the Davis Mansion, everything started changing between Robert and Jessica.
They started fighting more often and eventually, Cynthia went into Depression and committed suicide.
Johnson saw his Mom suffering every day. She acted happy in front of everyone. But Johnson and Martin knew that she wasn't happy anymore.
After Cynthia committed Suicide, Johnson stopped talking to his Dad and Stepmom and blamed them for his mom's death. He hated seeing their faces every day.
But, Jessica tried talking with Johnson after his Mom's death. She tried giving him a mother's love and affection, but Johnson shouted at her whenever she came in front of him or tried to talk with him.
Johnson had a thought that, if Jessica hadn't come into their life, his mother would have been alive. Smiling and giggling, spreading her happy vibes around him.
He promised himself that he would never forgive them for what they did to his Mom.
Jessica's heart broke whenever Johnson looked at her, grimacing as if she was the murderer of his Mom. Jessica wanted Johnson to be happy, and she was ready to ask for forgiveness, for what she did to Davis's family, but he never wanted to see her face.
She wanted to hug him and fade away all his pain and loss. She wanted to give him the same love which his Mom would have given when alive. Even though she was the Stepmother of Johnson, she treated him like her own Son.
She wanted to show him, how much she loved him and cared for him, but Johnson didn't give a single chance to shower her love on him.
Even though Johnson yelled at her every single day, she tried her best to control the situation. But it put no effect on Johnson. For him, she just acted being a good mom every day.
Jessica accepted his punishment of not sharing a word with her. Jessica's felt devastated when Johnson growled at her.
She cried!
She cried alone in her room, knowing that she committed a big mistake in her life by breaking an innocent's heart, and the main thing was she didn't even know how to fix these things up.
But, She was happy for what Johnson was today and was proud of his achievements. To say the real thing, Jessica loved Johnson more than her own Son. Or maybe she was living in a pang of guilt!
Robert Davis was one of the influential people in the World. He loved his wife, Cynthia a lot. But, it was a drunken mistake that led to Jessica's pregnancy. And Robert didn't have the heart to kill his own blood, his own child. But, he didn't regret Martin ever in his life.
Robert and Cynthia had an arranged marriage. But they loved each other more than anything. But it hurt him and broke his heart into pieces seeing Cynthia in pain, but he couldn't do anything at that moment.
Cynthia kept herself away from Robert after Jessica entered into their lives. Even though Jessica came into his life, he still loved Cynthia. Robert always had a special place for Cynthia in his heart, for then and Forever.
He wanted his Son, Johnson to share everything with him and spend some time with him. Like the other parents did. But it seemed like it never gonna happen.
Robert wanted to ask for forgiveness and wanted to explain his helplessness to Johnson. But in these 11 years, Johnson didn't give a single chance to Robert or Jessica for an explanation.
After a year of Cynthia's death, Robert married Jessica,, even though he loved Cynthia. But just for his Sons, he had to. He didn't want Johnson to live without a mother, and nor wanted anyone to call Martin an illegitimate child.
Johnson and Martin were step-brothers, but they both didn't ever feel like step-brothers. They both shared a beautiful bond like the real brothers. There were no secrets between them and shared everything with each other. They loved each other very much.
"Oh, My lion is here." Marina, the head servant of the Mansion, who was in her mid 50's welcomed him as soon as she saw Johnson heading to the dining room.
"Good Morning, Marina," Johnson wished her, and he kissed on her cheek.
"Good morning, John. Are you ready for your work?" Marina asked.
"Yes!" Johnson replied with a big smile, and Marina smiled back.
"Sit down, I will serve your breakfast," Marina said, and Johnson nodded and sat on the dining chair. Then Marina served Johnson his breakfast.
Just then, Robert and Jessica walked inside the Dining room and sat beside Johnson, but Johnson ignored them. He started having his breakfast, and Marina served Robert and Jessica their breakfast too.
"You have your breakfast. I would bring you your juice." Marina said and Johnson nodded with a smile, and Marina disappeared into the kitchen.
Marina was the one, who looked after Johnson after Cynthia died and gave him the strength to stand on his feet. Cynthia and Marina were close to each other. Marina was everything for Johnson. She loved him and he loved her too.
"Johnson!" Robert wanted his attention.
"Yes?" Johnson replied without looking at him.
"Congratulations," Robert tried to initiate a conversation.
"Why?" Johnson asked reluctantly, and Robert raised his eyebrows.
"You got an award," Robert uttered, but it was like more of a question.
"It was not my award. It was for the company." Johnson replied with an ignoring tone.
"But, it's all your hard work," Robert showed his compassion for him, and Johnson sighed.
"Nope, It's everyone's hard work, who worked in my company," Johnson told hesitantly, and Robert just nodded.
"And, I know, why you didn't come to Award function night last night? You wanted me to take that award on your behalf, as your SON, right?" Johnson spoke in a very rude tone.
"Johnson!" Robert uttered sternly.
"You are the chairman of the Company and the award is yours, I would never steal or cheat on someone's award," Johnson taunted while looking at Jessica, and she lowered down her eyes.
"It's your company too, Dammit," Robert shouted, and Johnson chuckled weirdly.
"Then, write the Company on my name," Johnson commented on his statement.
"I would certainly, but for that, you need to get married first," Robert lowered down his pitch.
"I would for sure but no girl would marry me. I just don't want to make a MISTAKE." Johnson made a statement by focusing on the word Mistake.
"Johnson!" Marina yelled at Johnson from the back, and he looked at Marina.
"I don't want this to repeat again," Marina said.
"But..." Johnson tried to argue.
"I said, I don't want this topic to be repeated again," Marina replied sternly.
"Okay," Johnson replied, lowering down his voice.
"Come home early today. Ashley wants to meet you." Marina changed the topic, and Johnson nodded. He got up from the chair and walked out of the Mansion. He got into his car and the driver drove him off for the company.
For then, he stopped talking about that matter, but Johnson knew, that he had to face them one day...
