Mason alighted from his car and viewed the stunning view before him, his grandfather had always seemed so much wider than life to him, so it was a shock indeed when he heard that the formidable man had chosen to retire to the countryside to enjoy some good country air, he had no idea what he expecting of the place, but it was surely not this.It looked like something straight out of a picture with a long drive up to the house that Mason had spent twenty minutes on behind the wheels, but seeing the house itself was even more impressive, it looked like something straight out of a fairytale.The manor-like home was spiraling into several acres behind it, and all in all it was one of the grandest things Mason had ever seen. He was nervous, he would not even deign to deny it, what he could remember about his grandfather was when he was ten, and then the man had seemed so large and dwarfed everyone so much that like a looming wall, daunting and inescapable.Mason doubted he would look lik

Scarlett stared at him with concern, he looked tired, so much so that it got her worried, so she made him sit down and prepared some chamomile tea.She had come to realize that he enjoyed seeing her in the kitchen preparing his meals, and that if she made it, then he would eat almost anything, it was an endearing quality.And he was not a fan of tea, but he drank every drop just to please her, and Scarlett was quite pleased indeed, as she bent to pick up the now empty cup, she could not help but place a kiss on his forehead, he looked so vulnerable in that moment.Mason stared at her in shock as he felt the soft skin on his face, this had never happened between them before, and he could not help but feel apprehensive.He glanced up and looked into her eyes, seeing that they were filled with nothing but love and compassion for him, he slowly wrapped his hands around her middle as she stood in front of him, and slowly rested his head on her stomach.It was something he had always wanted

Mason reached out to the five most influential families in the entire world and proposed his weekend getaway, an all expense covered trip, now mind you these men could very well cover their own trip, but it was the thought that counted, one do not simply turn down such an invitation, and honestly when the other families saw who was on the invite, they had no choice but to go. If word got out that one turned down such an invitation involving such prominent people, then it was sure to not end well.It was a well thought out plan by Scarlett, and Mason was quite proud indeed, but she insisted on going with him, and Scarlett was in a very fragile state, and it was something that Mason had no desire whatsoever to risk.But she was frustratingly adamant, determined to not leave his side for a moment. Scarlett could not understand why he was fussing over her so much, sure she was pregnant, but the baby bump was not even showing yet, he had no reason to be this wary.She knew that men could n

“I think we should just tell him.” Jonathan said from his place on the chair in the fancy resort. Now that they had both confirmed that Mason was looking for ways to crucify them and hence cleverly brought them here under his watchful eye, there was nothing they could do now but figure a way out by themselves.“And tell him what exactly brother?” Rhode scoffed from his place In the window, he stood in front of it and stared at the fancy Garden below. Peka was indeed worthy of its fame and name, he was also amazed by the craftiness of the man involved. He had brought them here under fancy promises and false pretenses and had successfully trapped them, they could either let him search for clues himself, or come right out and tell him.And while Rhode was not inclined to do either, he could not deny just how devious the plan was. He turned to Jonathan with a smirk.“We could just enjoy this luxury vacation and watch him dig. There's nothing to be gained from watching us after all.” Rhod

Mason watched them carefully so as to be able to spot any looks of concern or shock or just anything that told him that they were unaware of this unfortunate news, Mason scoffed.*You do not seem surprised.” He said to them and Jonathan shrugged as he looked at him with a gaze straight from hell in all its mischief and grizt.“Listen, pretending to be surprised would be a lie and a cowardly action.” Rhode said with a straight forward and Mason venomously, even he was surprised by the depths of his anger, it felt unquenchable.“Your parents killed mine.” Mason said, no more point in hiding it, he came right out with it and said it, they both nodded.“They caused the car crash that happened, it was organized by them, and done so that no one would be able to escape.” Rhode said and Mason flinched back.“I cannot just let you both leave.” Mason said desperately, he didn't want to harm them, but at the same time was terrified of allowing them to walk away.“We were supposed to kill you as
