Elicia and her son raced home like the devil was on their tails, in a way he was, the devil in this case was Scarlett's previously disgraced husband, none of it was supposed to happen like this, it was not supposed to be like this, this was never the plan. Unknowingly to both of them Mother and Son were thinking the same thing as the driver drove them away without asking questions. Jason glanced at his mother, Elicia always knew the worst moments to be brilliant, her plan admittedly was genius, but what Jason did not enjoy was being placed right in the middle of it, if he remained ignorant and she just went her ahead to try and save like every other mother would undoubtedly have done, then he wouldn't be in this mess that's for sure. He looked at his Mother again and sighed, perhaps karma was real, and she was actually as big a bitch as everyone said she was. Elicia on her part sneaked little

The news spread like wildfire and by the next morning it was the only thing people could talk about. The shocking story was pushed by every gossip column, entertainment news, and paparazzi from all around the state were going crazy. As usual everything that could be dug up about Mason Wilde was found, and some had come forth claiming to fellow workers in the past and extolling his virtues. Some even cried dramatically on screen saying that they never could have imagined the quiet man working alongside them could be the introverted billionaire, Ric watched all of this with a vein constantly bulging around the sides of head. “Pick up dammit.” He cursed as he paced the space of his living room, ever since that night at Rogue's he had known there was something wrong about Mason Wilde, although never never in his wildest fantasies could he have come up with the term “introverted

Scarlett met Mark close to the edges of flowers that she had always thought were a menace but now shielded her from the reporters outside and she watched as they still cried for her to come down and she smirked feeling like some secret spy or something, served them right. “Hurry it up lady!’ Mark whispered scream at her and she almost yelled back that his obnoxious voice would be what would give them away if he was not careful but she didn't, and chose to roll her eyes instead as she settled into the seat beside him. The sound of the car finally drew the reporters attention from her window and one of them cried that she was escaping, and they raced after them, begging her to come back or at least pose for a picture, and she laughed happily when they turned the corner and finally lost them. Mark glanced at her with a smile

Ric paced up and down the length of their box at Rogue's as Brown looked on an expensive cigar on his lips, and he executed rapid short puffs from it, the feeling calmed him as he thought back on his humiliation, he thought back to Mason looking down at him from the tip of his nose and Brown's hand shook again in rage. That peasant, he thought. Wealth should not be given to just anybody and that Mason looked the most entitled as he climbed the stage like he lived his whole life on it. Brown needed to humiliate him, taking his power from would not be enough, he needed to humiliate him in different ways, and as usual his devious mind was already scheming. Scheming was what he did best after all, he was a master at it, and there was nobody he had met in his life that he could not beat. Nobody has cunning. Ric dropped his empty glass on the table with enough force to shatter it and made Brown flinch awake from his thoughts as he glared at the idiot. Ric w

“Are you still going to work for them?” Mason asked aghast as he watched Scarlett dress up the next morning, he could not understand it, especially not after last night and he worried for her. There was nobody at that table last night with good wishes to her and yet she would insist on living and working with them? Mason shook his head and wondered briefly if it was a woman thing before he dismissed the notion from his mind with a quiet thanks to the heavens that Scarlett was not a mind reader. He looked at her again and noticed the determination in her eyes, she was not going to back down from this. She had every right to be there and she knew it, but Mason was still worried and as long as she insisted on affiliating herself with that family, he would always worry.“I will be fine Mason.” Scarlett sang for the up tenth time as she hopped around in one shoe, looking for a place to seat. Mason sighed and rolled his eyes before clutching her on the arm.“You are so clumsy sometimes.” He
