CHAPTER 7

Jason walked downstairs on Melissa's request to be seen by his first client of the day, Amy Norton. She was a depressed patient that needs to release oxytocin regularly to help keep her hormone levels stable. Amy was a bit older than most of his clients and the most emotional. She was skinny and a bit pale. Her eyes were puffy as if she had been crying. She wore a long skirt and a sweater that looked a few sizes too big for her.

'Amy?" Jason felt sadness for the woman. She was the only client he ever felt grief for. A man stood beside her holding her hand, which confused Jason. 'Is everything okay?" He asked Amy as he glanced at the man. The man held out his hand for a handshake. Jason hesitantly accepted.

'I'm James Norton. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Sanders."

'It's a pleasure, Mr. Norton. Forgive me for my confusion, but I wasn't told you would be here."

Jason stood as Valerie and Yolanda walked into the room on floor eleven. 'Jason!" Yolanda screamed running to hug him hard. Jason smiled, accepting the hug graciously. He opened his arms to Valerie as well. 'We missed you," Yolanda said, kissing his cheeks.

'Same. It's been too long. A year maybe. Why wasn't I invited to the wedding?" Jason crossed his arms, disappointed.

'It was a spur of the moment thing. Valerie proposed to me and we got married right away." Yolanda explained.

'Wow, congrats. I'm so happy for you two. Find a place to settle down yet?"

'Paris."

'California." They both spoke at the same time. Jason laughed at the couple.

'Cute. Well, we should toast to celebrate my friends' marriage. It's been too long." He poured them a drink at the mini bar. They clinked their glasses together and took a shot. 'So what brings you guys in today? How long are you in tow

CHAPTER 6

Jason woke up the next morning feeling groggy and stressed. His first thought was his sister. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed her number, hoping she will answer. It rang a couple of times then her voice came up on the other end. 'Jason? Everything okay? It's early."

'Janet, listen to me. Dan wants to make you partner with me to expand the company. He will try whatever it takes to get you to do it. I'm warning you now."

Janet cursed. 'I told you not to trust him, Jason. That bastard! I'm coming there as soon as possible."

'No Janet you can't come here. Stay where you are for now. There is no telling what Dan will do if he found out you are here. Just lay low for a while. He told me he was going to see the voodoo princess soon. Something weird has happened to me and I need information."

She gasped with concern. 'With our curse? Something happened?"

He sighed, star
