2024-02-04 05:37:39He couldn't believe the sight. Natalia lay naked on the floor with her eyes closed and another figure slamming into her from behind. Mason's heart skipped a thousand beats at the moan that escaped her parted lips. He felt his lungs cut short of air and his jelly.
Jacob was the first to notice his presence. "M…Mason!" Jacob stammered, jumping up from Natalia, clamping both hands to cover his manhood, then briskly picked up his clothes from the wooden floor. "M…Mason!" Natalia's voice followed, and her hand quickly dragged the duvet to cover herself. Her face turned pale at the sight of her boyfriend. "Y… You're home!" She stammered, staring from her boyfriend to Jacob, who she was cheating with, and guilt spread across her features.In that instance, Mason's world was crumbling in the blink of an eye. "This can't be happening!" Mason muttered to himself. His heart ached like a shattered glass pounded by a heavy metal.Mason would never believe anyone if he was told his beloved girlfriend would cheat on him, and it felt like his heart would tear out of his chest as the reality slapped him on his face. "I…I can explain," Natalia said with cloudy eyes, Interrupting the thought that ran through Mason's mind.'You can Explain!' he screamed in his head, overcoming his shock and anger and pain rushing his gains. "How could you, Natalia!" Mason screamed, finally finding his voice. Tears pricked the corner of his eyes. Even when Mason had faced countless hardships that were capable of breaking a man, he had never once shown any form of weakness to the world by tearing up, but he lost all that as he stared at the woman he loved so much naked with another man.Mason eyes danger at the man who had scrambled to the far end of the room, with Mason blocking the exit. "Hey, look at me, Mason," Natalia's voice dragged his gaze from Jacob. "Let's talk this through, Mason. I'm sorry," Natalie said, slowly moving towards Mason, and with one glare from him, her leg stayed rooted.'Sorry! You're sorry,' those words ring loudly inside his head. "Are you sorry, or are you sorry you got caught!" His voice shook with rage. "I gave you everything, Natalia, everything. How could you do this to me!" Mason's left hand ran through his hair, and his right clenched into a fist, struggling between his breath. "Everything you say," Natalia scoffed, wiping her tears. The remorse across her face disappeared. "I tried my best, but I can't stay like this!" Her voice echoed. "Have you seen girls my age, Mason? Have you seen the kind of lifestyle they live? Do you know the kind of expensive dress they wear and the places they visit? You can't give me that." Mason's eyes widened, taken aback by his girlfriend's statement. Her words diced into his heart. He knew he wasn't rich like Jacob or the other silver spoon students on campus who show off their parent's wealth, but as for Mason Williams, he did his best to provide everything Natalia asked. He even worked extra shifts to pay for her tuition fee since he didn't just consider her as his girlfriend but wished to build his life with her.Mason could not contain the pain of betrayal as everything was repellent to him. "You said you loved me, Natalie, or was that a lie?" Mason's rage, different emotions running through his veins.Natalia rolled her eyes with a sigh, tired of any explanation she would ever give him. At this moment, she had already wore her clothes. "I thought we had a chance when you won the one million dollar lottery, but that is down the drain since you used the money for your sister's heart transplant," she replied. "I appreciate everything you have done for me, but a woman like me deserves more than this."Natalia's words harshly stabbed at Mason. He couldn't believe these were the words of his beloved Natalia.Jacob, who had been silent, suddenly cleared his throat, drawing Mason's attention. He wore a smirk and stared from Mason to Natalia's ass; he grabbed at it, ignoring Mason's presence and admiring Natalia's curve. Natalia smiled, swatting at Jacob's hands, who was enjoying the scene before him. "Hey buddy," Jacob turned to Mason. "You have to calm-" "You bastard!" Mason's hard fist landed on Jacob's face, silencing the rest of his words. Jacob staggered back, crashing into the wall, drawing blood from both his mouth and his nose. "H…How dare you lay your stinking hands on me!" Jacob screamed in agony. "Do you know who I am!" his eyes widened in disable and anger.Of course, Mason knows who Jacob Higs was. He was one of the richest second-year students on campus and in Mason's department. His family was one of the University's influential supporters. Still, Mason didn't care who he was or what kind of trouble he would enter for hitting one of the University's prestigious students. "I will make you-"Another blow landed in his mouth, collapsing the words of Jacob. "Mason, stop!" Natalia snapped in horror, jumping in front of Mason, who held his fist mid as his girlfriend was protecting Jacob, his fist washed with blood. Mason moved back, shaking his head. "Are you alright?" Natalia asked, and Jacob frowned, holding his face. "What do you think? He broke my fucking nose!"Natalia stood to her feet. "Don't you get it, Mason! It is over between us!"Mason, who couldn't believe the words exiting his girlfriend's mouth, glanced between the two. "So you are leaving for him because he is richer!" Mason's voice cracked. "You're throwing everything we have down the drain for money!" "Like I said, I am thankful for everything you have done for me."Her words only made his blood boil, and Mason, who planned to do more than a broken nose, rushed towards Jacob. "M…Mason!"A familiar voice screamed, making his leg root to the floor as he realized who it was. Mason turned towards Helen, tears running down her cheek. Mason couldn't tell how long she had been there, or she must have seen. "I…I can't breathe," Helen said almost in a whisper as she struggled, holding her chest. She staggered forward, reaching for Mason, but collapsed to the ground with a loud thud. "Helen!" Mason's heart dropped at the sight of his sister collapsing. He rushed toward her, dropping to his knees, but Helen's eyes were closed with faint breath. "What's wrong, princess? Talk to me," Mason's voice cracked as he carried Helen. She wasn't moving, and her unconscious body lay on his hand; this alone sent dark shivers down Mason's spine. 'Stay with me, princess, don't leave me,' Mason cried in his head, grabbing his cell phone and dashing out of the room, leaving the two figures behind him.

A System Message
"Follow me," the chief announced, leading the way toward the hallway where his office was located.

Meanwhile, Mason, who was behind them, found his legs rooted to the ground when a series of multiple screens expanded throughout the room.The largest screen in front of Mason displayed a red beacon signaling an emergency message. Understanding the system always sent a countdown to every emergency message or missions, he hesitated to see if the count down would show and when it didn't, Mason furrowed his brow, stretching his hand to open the message.“Excuse me, sir?” A voice called, pulling Mason out of his thoughts.

Police Station 2
The atmosphere inside the police station was thick with unanswered questions, created by the newcomers. Officers who had previously been bored by their mundane workloads now had their gazes fixed on the figures radiating with aura.Mason and Haley, assisted by the men in suits, ignored the silent whispers and the prying side glances darting from them to the chief. “Did the newbies actually arrest Williams on their first day?” A voice drifted through the air.“If I remember correctly, arresting someone usually involves putting them in cuffs,” another voice laced with skepticism chimed in. Other officers listening to the whispers averted their glances toward Mason and Haley’s hands as they discreetly searched for any signs of handcuffs.“There is no cuff, but if the chief is involved, it is not a good sign,” another officer whispered, narrowing their gaze to the man in his early fifties.The chief, finalizing his call, pulled the phone from his ear and slid it into his pocket.

Police Station
The revving sounds from the car's exhaust reverberated through the bustling street, making pedestrians halt their activities and turn their heads towards the source of the commotion. Behind the red and blue siren, which signaled a clear path, was a Bugatti and several luxurious cars, which made other cabs and car owners stick out their necks to have a glimpse at the convoy gliding down the street.“That must be the Williams," a tall man in a worn-out jacket said as he glanced toward the black cars speeding away from the hospital entrance.His companion, who also mirrored his gaze, sighs with a hint of disappointment. “It means the press conference is over, and we missed our chance to meet Mr. Williams in person,” his voice cracked into a whisper, unable to pull his gaze from the direction the vehicles had vanished. “Do you think the hospital is still accepting patients for the clinical trial? What if they turn me down?"The tall man's face melted into a pitiful expression, prompting h
The Arrest
The words and the presence of the police officers sent a cold silence through the lobby, leaving everyone stunned at the men in black uniforms who had their gaze panned at Mason and their hands reaching for their cuffs.“What in God's name is going on?” The words escaped the lips of a staff member, who had walked into the scene. “Wait! Is that the police? Is Mr. Williams being arrested?” Another voice chipped in, increasing the murmurs that roam through the crowd of medical staff and visitors caught in the scene.“What is this nonsense?!” Haley's voice slices through the series of whispers, bringing the room to an instant silence. The crowd, seeing her outburst, averted their gaze to the officer who had already brought out their handcuffs. “Do you know who you are talking about?” The first officer, sensing the incredulity in her voice glanced at his colleague who mirrored Haley stern expression. “Of course I know who I'm messing with,” the man scoffed, casting a slide glance at Maso
More Rumours
The air felt thick with anticipation as everyone awaited Mason’s response to a question.“My mother is the strongest woman I know, and since the death of my father, she has poured her heart and soul into building the Williams empire, and to answer your question, no,” Mason said, his voice steady, suppressing his anger. “What many of you might not realize is that Haley is also my twin sister, and the reasons for my identity being kept a secret are something I’m not going to share.”Mason's voice signaled the end of every question regarding his personal life.“Mr. Williams, is it true that the hospital continues with the medical trial despite the lawsuit filed by the parents of the victim?” a journalist asked, prompting Mason's brows to furrow at the term "victim." Irritation flickers across his face like an unwelcome shadow, and he instantly adopts a composed facade. “Indeed, the Jordans have filed a lawsuit regarding their daughter's name appearing on the list of trial participants,”
Press Conference
The conference room at Williams Hospital was situated on the first floor of the building, and its white walls were adorned with simple yet modern decorations that provided a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

Mason's Decision
"The public is still in confusion about the incident, and we are all waiting for an official statement from the Williams Central Hospital and its officials, who have been ignoring our sincere requests," the lady in front of the mic announced with a concerned expression.Mason, who had his gaze panned to the TV screen with a furrowed brow, mentally rolled his eyes at the journalist's facade. He knew most of them didn't care about any incident, rather than the spotlight of being the first to broadcast anything that would give them recognition.When Mason caught sight of his sister weaving through the gathered crowd, a grin spread across his lips. With the expression on her face, he knew there's only one reason for her being in the hospital, which is to support him.“Ms. Haley!” One of the journalists stopped her. “Is it true the trial is going on even after a lawsuit was filed by the Jordan family? Is the hospital performing illegal surgeries?”“No comment,” Mason heard her say before w
The Sound Of Life And Death
The sound of a continuous beeping monitor filled the air, sending cold tension through the white walls of the OR. Unlike the other staff members, who were visibly shaken with their faces pale, Dr. Lukeman remained calm with his gaze focused on the patient on the operating table.The overhead lights cast shadows, illuminating the sweat on his brow. The nurse next to him quickly pulled a handkerchief to pat his face. “Dr. Zarah, what is the patient's status?” Dr. Lukeman asked for the second time, pulling the young doctor out of her trance.She instantly snapped her head back to the monitor and said. “Her stats are dropping fast,” she announced, unable to conceal the fear in her voice.When he finally pulled his eyes away from the machine, he turned his attention to the monitor, which continued to beep relentlessly.Mason, leaning forward, mirrored his gaze over to the glowing screen that displayed a series of jagged lines and fluctuating numbers.“Please, Fiona, you can't give up,” Ma
Dr.Akin Interruption
Time seemed to slip through Mason's fingers as he stood in the gallery with his eyes glued to the scene unfolding in front of him. The silence in the room was heavy, and the sound was the soft, rhythmic hum of the 365G laser was the only thing echoing through the space.Dr. Lukeman, who had his eyes fixed on the surgical microscope embedded on the machine, muttered instructions to his staff, who didn't waste time to carry out the task.“The tumor is visible, and I need everyone to remain still at this moment,” Dr. Lukeman announced, casting a quick, assessing look at his team. “How is she doing, Dr. Zarah?” He asked, and Mason, with a mixed expression knitted on his brow, averted his gaze to the doctor.“Her vitals are stable,” she replied, not peeling her eyes from the machine.“At this moment, Dr. Zarah, you need to monitor that closely,” Dr. Lukeman instructed, and his brow furrowed in concentration as he redirected his attention to the machine.Mason, not able to have a clear view
