Everyone except for Mason and Sonia was astonished to see the image of her place under an article addressing the information about the new dean of students at Aleric University. The fact that Carol thought that Sonia wouldn't be able to attain a job as a lecturer in the school but ended up being the school dean sent more shock to her bones.“Oh my God, Sonia is a staff at the university!" A girl exclaimed, and the rest of the people sharing similar expressions raised their gazes to stare at each other. The accusation Carol spread was eradicated, and the room was filled with discussion of Sonia getting a job at the university, which has caused many heartbreaks to applicants whose applications were rejected.“Oh my God, I can't believe the dean of Aleric University is my colleague!” A voice beam reads between the published article's lines.Another boy, who was also reading the article, chimed in. “My chance of getting a job there would be higher.”"I am closer to Sonia than any of you,
The revelation of the Higs family forsaking Carol and her family left her in a destructive state. The new soar in the air once filled with thrill and excitement, and the group surrounded and consoled her as she cried helplessly. Sonia, who hadn't been emotionally present at the reunion, was the first to walk towards the room's exits, and Mason, not intending to overstay his welcome, also stood to his feet and trailed behind her, leaving the group's consoling sound to Carol.When they arrived at the existence of the restaurant, the night air graced their skin, and Mason raised his eye to the dark, predicting it was going to rain. With the valet out to get Sonia's car, Mason glanced at her and said. “Miss.Sonia Why didn't you say anything from the beginning, allowing Carol to say and think about you?” He asked, speaking to her for the first time since they came to the restaurant.A small smile appeared on her face. “It isn't the first time she has done something like that, and besides,
“What?!” Mason asked and adjusted his gaze from Sonia to the man, waiting for her to exit the car. “That's my brother,” she repeated, staring at his stunned face, and when he understood his ears weren't playing games with him, the little story she had shared with him when he arrived at her place played back in his mind. Mason averted his gaze back to the man standing in the light, and even when he silently prayed, she wasn't referring to the man as her biological brother; he knew his prayers could never be answered due to the resemblance on the man’s face. Sonia unfastened her seat belt, attracting Mason's attention. “What are you doing?” He asked, subtle worries lacing his voice. “I need to settle this once and for all,” she replied with a straight face. The rage in her eyes told him it wasn't the first time her brother had tried the incident. “Let me come with you,” he said, unfastening his seat belt, but Sonia shook her head, her face now washed with worry. “No, you can't, Mas
The first gunshot from the struggle still made the air linger with tension. Mason feeling Gab's eyes staring at him through the corner of his eye socket made him halt his step. Mason adjusted his gaze to Sonia, who was still shaking as a result of the vibration, whereas Gab stood without effect. Mason wasn't surprised that Gab didn't flinch when Sonia had mistakenly pulled the trigger, as he was familiar with the gunshot due to the illegal activities that required the carrying of firearms, like the jackal incident. “Are you okay, Miss Sonia?” Mason asked, "Are you okay, Miss Sonia?" Sonia bobbed her head, adjusting her gaze to her brother, her face filled with irritation. Gab shifted his attention to Mason and Sonia, understanding what her brother was capable of. She tried to distract him, but Gab ignored her every effort and pinged his gaze on Mason. “Who the hell are you? Are you a cop?” He let out a low growl, his tone laced with impatience. Mason shook his head, instinctively r
Mason's response sent a wave of astonishment across the siblings' faces, and Sonia, who had been trying to ease the tension, glanced at Mason with a stunned expression. She couldn't figure out why he showed no fear to her crazy brother despite the fact they were at a disadvantage against him. “What the hell are you doing, Mason?” Sonia whispered, wearing her fear on her sleeves. Sonia was familiar with how short-tempered Gab was and understood he wouldn't think twice before pulling the trigger on Mason. She quickly averted her gaze to her brother, whose facial expression deepened with irritation at Mason's boldness. He clung tight, wrapping his hand around the gun's base and scanning Mason's face. When he couldn't find any sign of fear written across his features. Gab scoffed, with an expression that made Sonia's face pale. “I think you keep forgetting; I'm the one with the weapon!” he shrieked, his eyes twitching with rage. He raised the gun towards Mason, ready to pull the trigger
After taking their orders from their master, the celestial assassins dismissed into the night with unconscious Gab, whose body was meant to be transported to one of the ruthless prisons outside the country to repent for his sins. approving the idea, he also instructed them to include the Holy Bible in the things being transported with him to keep him company.Mason, holding Sonia's car keys, drove through the street in search of her, while his eyes kept scanning outside the windshield. He took a turn to a familiar path the GPs had suggested, and just before he approached a building that towers above a small counter, two new notifications from the celestial system displayed in front of him, one of which seems to be a congratulations message, assisted by unread notifications pending above the screen.Mason removed his leg from the accelerator and slid his hand across the large screen, clicking on the notification.[Mission Activated: Deliver justice!]The message read, and below the not
Mason drove into Sonia’s neighborhood, taking a turn that led to her street. The few pedestrians moving in the opposite direction waved at the windshield, indicating that they should avoid that direction. Mason, adamant at their warnings, adjusted his gaze to see what the pedestrians were referring to, and his eyes panned at the distant red and blue flashes of the police siren, illuminating the roadblocks ahead of them. The environment, which was once filled with silence and peace, was now invaded by barricades and several cops searching vehicles and requesting drivers for licenses. The paramedics busy at the nearby ambulance caught Mason’s attention, and he turned to Sonia, who also had her attention pinned on the scene. The policemen holding a bright touch light noticed the incoming car and flashed their light for him to pull over. Mason, obeying their instructions, removed his leg from the accelerator and slowed the car to a stop. The cops approached the car while their eyes vig
When Mason spoke those words, the two policemen turned their focus toward him and began taking his statement. Mason, who was familiar with police procedures, made sure not to say anything that contradicted Sonia's earlier statement. All the information he provided matched Sonia's, and the police didn't see any reason to conduct a background check on him. After the police collected Mason's statement, the scene slowly dissolved, leaving a few cops to patrol Sonia's premises in case Gab decided to return to the villa.Unlike the police, Gab's return didn't bother Mason because he knew Sonia was safe and her brother couldn't escape from the celestial assassins who planned to send him to an isolated prison to serve his life sentence.Mason slid into the back of the booked taxi and instructed the driver to drop him at the Williams Mansion. The taxi driver gave him a stunned expression, knowing that the Williams private district had a very strict security policy at night. When Mason noticed
