Dusk lingered in the sky as Mason drove out of the Cleopatra villa. It was already 6:30 pm, making him wonder how fast time flies. He glanced at his phone, noting the missed calls on the screen. It was almost seven, and Helay must have called his line to remind him of the family dinner. Mason shrugged off the thought of returning her call and drove towards the WPD. "Buzz!" his phone vibrated. He was about to pick it up when he saw one vehicle trailing behind him. He didn't take it to heart until the vehicle mirrored his turn toward the WPD. Mason wasn't sure who they were, but he was sure they weren't anyone friendly."Emoji," Mason called, overtaking a taxi. The taxi driver honked and cursed at the luxurious car speeding ahead. Emoji appeared beside Mason, who had his attention focused on the road. "I think the Viper gangs are chasing me," Mason said while his eyes roamed through the crowded cars underneath the traffic light. When he saw the opening, he accelerated and attracted the

With every step Mason took, inching closer, Tobi crawled backward, shivering with fear. He could clearly see the danger lurking in Mason's eyes, which he didn't notice when his gang member was around, but now that he was at a disadvantage, everything was evident.“Please, you can't do this!” Tobi pleaded, winking at the pain in his abdomen.Mason, adamant about his words, scoffed with a knitted brow. “Of course, I can,” he growled in a dreadful tone, raising the bat above his head.Tobi's eyes mirrored his movement, and he saw the iron bat descend in one swift strike, making him scream. “P…Please stop! I haven't killed anyone! I haven't committed any crimes. This was the first time; please forgive me.” Kobi broke into tears, staring at the bat that halted mid-air above his leg. Mason was about to say something, but Kobi quickly shivered to his knees, rubbing his palms together, pleading. “I didn't want to take the deal Jacob proposed, but I needed the money,” Kobi said with tears flo

The contest of who would be the lucky viewer hit when Peter, one of the three musketeers, joined the stream. He wore his regular attire, and from the look of his background, Mason could tell he was at his dormitory. After adjusting to the stream, he said, "Good evening, everyone. I'm Peter from the Department of Engineering, and I will be joining the stream to answer a few questions today," he announced, muting his mic so the other ladies could speak.Stacy was the first to speak, as she had been waiting to hear from Peter about the rumor going through the university about a poor student who paid $62,856 for a meal. Most girls were curious about Mason and only wanted to confirm whether he was rich or a fraud. "Hello, Peter, I'm Stacy," the girl said, and Peter nodded in response, though he already knew who the five girls on the stream were. Every guy on campus knew they were Aleric University's beauty goddess, who attracted the attention of every male student, and Peter was no except

Mason glanced at his watch; he didn't expect to spend up to thirty minutes watching the live stream, but he was satisfied with how the event turned out. He closed the car door with a soft slam before making his way to the mansion. The guards, who were posted at the entrance, saw him from a distance and bowed their heads in respect, which he reciprocated with a nod. Inside the mansion, Mason made his way to the dining room, where he heard more than one voice having a conversation. When he got closer, he could hear a masculine voice half-yelling, probably disagreeing with whomever he was talking to. Within a few minutes, Mason appears in the room, occupied by his family and other foreigners whom he assumed were his distant relative. Amidst the group were two familiar faces he remembered; one was Thomas, and the other was Jerry, who seemed to be irritated by what Grace had said. Mason shifted his gaze to his mother, who shrank her eyes, staring at Jerry, who was heaving with anger. “I

Curiosity spiked as Grace's voice reverberated through the room. "Where did you hear the news of a new project? "she asked seriously. Seeing Grace's reactions, Sarah smiled as she sipped from her glass. Even when all eyes were staring at her, demanding an explanation, she remained quiet. Calista knew it wouldn't do them any favor to keep Grace's curiosity, so she cleared her throat to attract her attention."There have been some rumors," Calista said, and her eyes roamed the table before resting back at Grace, whose frown softened as she began to explain. "We are not stalking the Williams business, but we heard you are making a big move with your new project, which will take the Williams Business to the next level."When Calista stopped her Explanation, Mason averted his gaze to his Mother, who listened carefully. She furrowed her brows and said. "Is that all? "Her tone was painted impatiently, and the Sisters bobbed their heads at the same time.Even with the stern expression, Mason
