Scarlett could only see red, she was furious, and when she was furious things tended to go horribly wrong, she could only stare at her younger sister in anger, and Michelle recognized the look, it was evident by the way she took an alarmed step backwards. Scarlett drew in a deep breath. She didn't want to get mad, her row with Mason was still present and fresh in her mind, and she was reluctant to deal with another.“What was that for?” She calmly asked her younger sister, and surprise flickered all over Michelle, she had expected a retaliation of some kind at least, not this terrifying indifference.“Y_you left mother all alone!” She accused Scarlett and Scarlett could only smirk as her thoughts became clear for the first time in days.“Mother? Which one? Last I can remember, I had none.” She replied, her eyes steadily trained at her sister.“D_don’t say that Scarlett, she needs you, I need you.” Michelle begged. “Don't desert us.” Scarlett could only scoff at this. “This is all ver

 Mason walked into the boardroom extremely conscious of what looked like wagging tongues that followed him all the way from the lounge to the elevators and was now accompanying him most chivalrous into the board room. The members all ceased talking immediately he walked into the room, and Mason just had to raise a brow at that, he would have thought that his executives were too busy to gossip so early in the morning. “Sir, come with me please.” Rita Donovan immediately hurried to Mason's side and pulled at his arms, Mason's brows raised even higher if that was possible. “Okay Rita, speak.” He ordered in the safety of his office, he had already began to sense that whatever was happening was bigger than he had originally thought.

“Where on earth did you get that?” Ric asked in awe after Michelle's departure, he was pretty sure his sister could not have caught Mason in such a compromising situation, in fact he was sure of it, but there was the picture, and he saw it with his own eyes. He was intrigued in truth, and he could not help but study the picture again and again. It was a very passionate embrace indeed, and was a clear proof of Mason's infidelity.“Don't tell me you bought it as well?” Emerald laughed as her brother's expression was quite hilarious indeed, she was pleased though. If her brother could believe it, then Scarlett definitely would.“What's there not to buy?” Ric laughed, he was also very pleased. He would finally get his overdue revenge on the Wildes happily ever after. He was already relishing the utter look of betrayal that would cross Scarlet's face as soon as she saw the picture.“You are demonic sister, do you know that?” Ric asked Emerald with a grin, and she smiled right back, if the

“No.” Scarlett denied despite the evidence staring her right in the face. “No! No! No!” She cried, imitating a rocky motion on her feet as she stared at the picture in front of her, and held her arms crossed across her chest as if to protect her fragile psych from the onslaught it was about to receive. Michelle scoffed.“Denial I see.” She laughed, but there was no mirth behind it, it was simply a spiteful little sound that showed pure contempt for her sister and nothing else.*No!” Scarlett yelled again, so loud that even Michelle flinched back a little. “I'm refusing to believe what is obviously fake and orchestrated to ruin my happiness!” She yelled, looking at her sister right in the eyes, and Michelle could not help but swallow nervously, she could attest to the fact that that statement was meant solely for her and her alone.“So I'm the one after your happiness am I?” She laughed again, a short mean sound, but Scarlett was not backing down this time, she knew she had to fight no

Scarlett almost wished she could take back her words as she watched the shock on his face, almost, but when she thought back to him and Rita Donovan locked in a very intimate embrace, the feeling of regret faded away fast, leaving behind rage.Mason laughed. He laughed and laughed as he stared at his wife like he would a stranger.“Why are you looking at me like that?!” Scarlett screamed angrily, if there was someone that had the right to stare at the other with complete and utter betrayal coupled with blame it was her, her! Not him, her!“Because I wondered where you went?” Mason said softly, but that only raised Scarlett's ire, as she felt used and humiliated beyond reason, she was supposed to be the one doing all the things he was doing and enacting, she was the one that could no longer recognize him, not the other way round.“Oh spare me the dramatics!” She snapped, turning her back to him as she did so, her arms folded across her chest.“Sometimes I wonder if you are high on hard
