Mason was enraged, pissed off, he could not believe what he had just heard, but in a way he could also believe it exactly. Jason had struck for the last time, Mason thought angrily. Jason Rodney had always been stupid in ways even Mason could not fathom. The man was oblivious with his head constantly stuck in the clouds. He was so self absorbed that he failed to see that the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with was an error on so many levels, but no one would tell him. Mason had always wanted to deal with Jason so severely but had had to hold back for his darling wife's sake. Although if this had happened way before now, he would not have hesitated to deal with Jason as terribly as he pleased, but Scarlett had been so sensitive lately, that Mason had felt that perhaps this was not the right time to do anything to send her over the edge again.He loved Scarlett that much, but due to Jason's stupidity, his whole life was at stake, everyone suddenly wanted him to prove so

Jason had begun to think that perhaps his mother was right when Emerald showed at his door looking glamorous just the way he liked it, and what looked like bags of groceries in her hands, his fantasy came to life, and that made him very suspicious.“Well are you just going to stand there and stare at me, or are you going to invite me in?” Emerald stated provocatively, enjoying the gobsmacked look on her face.Jason blinked at her uselessly, and Emerald began to wish she had never come, perhaps she was overdoing it?“Fine then, I'll just go back.” She shrugged nonchalantly and turned back, and Jason immediately snapped out of it as he watched her leave. “Sorry.” He muttered as he shifted aside, allowing the door to open a little bit more. “Come on in.” Emerald immediately bounced in, and gave Jason a small peck on the cheek, reluctant to ruin her lipstick, but she knew he did not mind it, it was something she had been doing for years after all.“But what's the occasion?” Jason asked

What Michelle had predicted to be a fire turned out to be a tornado, a tsunami, an hurricane of flames, in a few hours after she had blown the whistle on her family, the reporter had aired the news and almost everyone, if not everyone had gone crazy.This was not just about any random family, it was about the Wildes, one of the richest families to have ever lived, and more information and tips kept pouring in, mostly from previous employers of one or both parties.The police were already involved, and an investigation was going to reopen on the case to suit the ire of the public, Michelle watched this from the sidelines, unaware of how she was supposed to feel.She was being praised by the public, most commended the blower on not turning a blind eye to the injustice and others wished she would show her real face soon, and it was something that almost made Michelle laugh, showing her face would mean her death, she had just realized what her family was capable of, and it sent a chill wo

Mason left her immediately. He had gotten what he had wanted with the promise to keep her locked up forever, and it was a promise he intended to keep. He was sick to his stomach after hearing everything, and he frankly had no idea what to do now. He had never thought his life was in so much danger until it had actually been.The news went crazy, reporters started tailing Mason wherever he went, and the police insisted on having a swat team with him every minute of the day.Mason had been reluctant to take the chaos and pandemonium back to his mansion, and had refrained from going back there for the past few weeks, with a message to Scarlett to also lay low for the time being.One thing he had come to realize was that no matter the situation, he could never hate Scarlett, it was just not in his DNA. He still loved her to pieces and wanted her protected from the chaos he was currently experiencing.For the first time in years Mason mourned his parents again, but this time he did it with

They eventually reached the decision to meet back at the mansion, and Mason had an impromptu meeting where he had to suggest that Scarlett go before him and he would meet her there. He was not pleased with the meeting, but it was one he could not wave off because of the scale of it.They were meeting with the Elrics for the first time, and this just made Mason realize how far he had come in the game, they were meeting the Elrics in their turf, it was a power play more than anything, and simply meant that at the moment the Wildes had the upper hand in this game of wealth and power, and the feeling was almost intoxicating to Mason.Not letting your feelings show however was one of the rules of the game, so Mason attended the meeting with a perfectly blank face, portraying only a carefully drawn smile as the Elrics rose and greeted him, the exact same smile painted on their mouths and eyes.It was one of the things Mason had found off putting about the business world, the inability to be
