Mason entered the classroom, and the cold silence that soared through the space made those who had noticed him raise their gaze.As usual, Mason shifted his gaze to the back, where his eyes locked with Natalia sitting in her friend's circle. They all stare at him, surprised, except for Natalia and Jacob, who have a frown on their faces. Mason winked at them before averting his gaze around the room for his best friend. When Mason noticed Jeremiah wasn't in class, he sat while waiting for the lecturer to come."What are you doing here?" A voice sneered from behind. It was Jacob Higs. A smirk crawled on Mason's lips when he noticed Jacob and his followers standing behind him. He could feel his angry gaze boring at the back of his head, but Mason remained quiet."Are you deaf!" Jacob yelled.The entire class was already watching the tension rising between the two. The class didn't fail to notice the boldness on Mason's face, which made Jacob's vein seem like it would pop in anger. Unlike
"For your upcoming project, the class will be split into groups. The names of every group member will be posted on the class platform. That's all for today," Miss Tosin said, her last statement evaporating the quietness of the classroom with students being eager to leave.Mason glanced at his watch, and it was already noon. He didn't eat breakfast, and his stomach started to rumble. When Miss Tosin left the class, he shoved the two notebooks he brought into his bag and made his way to the exit."beep"Mason glances at the message that pops up on his phone.[You might need my help in the future] The message said, and Mason raised a brow at the unknown number. He didn't know who it was, and when only a few people had access to his number, he couldn't pinpoint who sent him the message. Mason tried calling the number, but it was unreachable. Mason ignored the message and slid his phone into his pocket.The hallway was crowded with students, and their eyes lurked around Mason Willams, walk
Mason frowned at the figures standing at the threshold. He should have known better that this bitch was up to no good, and Jacob Higs was the mastermind of everything. It wasn't just a coincidence the cops only showed up when Lola's clothes were torn. "I didn't do anything to her," Mason said, but the cops frowned at him. Jacob, who was at their back, wore a smile, and Mason gritted his teeth. "You are caught red-handed Mason. Don't deny it," Jacob said, rushing toward Lola and handing her his Jacket. "Are you alright?" Jacob asked Lola whose facade could break the Guinness Book of Records. Mason's heart skipped; he knew anyone who didn't know how corny Lola was would believe her words instead of him. "Mason Williams you're under arrest for attempted rape," the policeman said, pulling out his handcuff. Mason frowns at his action. He knew they would not listen to him no matter how he tried to prove his innocence."I said I'm innocent!" Mason yelled when the officer came close. The c
Mason already had the evidence he was going to use against Lola and Jacob. He thought of handing the evidence to the cops, but he shrugged off the thought; there was something sketchy about them. Mason's eyes roamed around the room, which was filled with silence, examining the cops. He noticed a similar tattoo on their wrist, one that he had seen before. A smile crept into Mason's lips, realizing his instinct had been right all along. When Jacob noticed, Mason was quiet. He smiled inwardly. 'I told you to watch out, Mason.'Mason averted his gaze to Adam, who thought he had him by the neck with a plan that he came up with while they were in class. "Mason Williams, what is the meaning of this? Why ain't you explaining yourself," Mr Osawe muttered. Even when Jacobs' explanation sounded too much like of a coincidence, it was also a big crime that involved his student, and he had to be thorough with it before making a decision.Mason's brows are pretentiously knitted together. "How ca
They all arrived at the HOD office after the PIP gang was handed to the police. Mason sat across the duo, who stared at him with irritation as they waited for the decision of the police, who were discussing with Mr.Osawe outside the office.Jacobs secretly curses Mason for ruining his plans. At the same time, Lola scrolls through the school platform, which does not broadcast the incident since Mason had secretly instructed Mr Osawe to supervise the arrest and avoid leaking the news or the media getting involved so as not to disrupt the school activities or drawing attention. Mr.Osawe was among the few people aware that the new owner was delighted and did as he was told.After a while, Mr. Osawe walks into his office with an expression that tells Mason the criminal didn't snitch on who hired them, and since the officer didn't have enough evidence to link Jacobs to the gang, they have to let him go. Though Mason hated Jacob and wanted to pay badly, he knew if he was arrested, Jacob stil
Mason exited the faculty with a nose mask and a face cap, avoiding the prying eyes of those around the premises. He entered the Bugatti and made his way to the school gate. Meanwhile, Natalia, waiting to be picked up by Jacobs, saw the Bugatti and her eyes widened. "I have seen that exact car before," She muttered to Flora, who focused on her cell phone. Flora raised her head and stared in awe. She was drooling on the luxury car that slowly pulled up at the school gate."Do you know who it is?" Flora asked Natalia, who was also attracted by the expensive car. "The person must be filthy rich to have such an expensive car for a student. I wish he was my boyfriend.""Don't you already have a boyfriend," Natalia said with a furrowed brow and Flora's frown."I need a richer guy, Natalia," Flora said, watching as the car exited the University premises. When Natalia shot her a questioning gaze, she rolled her eyes, saying. "I never said I was breaking up with him; I am sticking around to see
The man on the floor stares at Mason with eyes filled with horror and disbelief. Mason, who was still holding his plate, placed it on the table and helped Sally to her feet. A sigh escaped his parted lips, and his eyes stared at the man on the floor. Mason didn't know who this Thomas was or what business he had with his mother, but slapping one of their help struck his nerve."D…did you just slap me?!" Mr.Thomas yelled, holding the side of his face as if his ear were about to fall. "How dare you! Do you know who I am!" Mason's cold eyes daggered at him. He was tired of hearing that statement that it made his skin crawl. Mason took a step forward with one long stride. He appeared in front of Thomas, gripping him by the collar. Thomas was about to stand when another slap landed on his face, sending him back to the ground.Mason could see tears that clouded the man's eyes while his hand rubbed at his soar spot, not failing to display his distressed face laced with shock."Apologies youn
"Tonight?""Yes," Haley replied. "For some reason, Mom received an anonymous invitation to the private Auction for tonight.""How's mom going to get the necklace when the World Bank is undergoing maintenance?" Mason asked, remembering that his mother had told him their family assets had been temporarily frozen until next week. "Mom is not going to attend the Auction, rather she is meeting with the president to resolve the issues. Leaving the both of us to attend the event," Haley replied, waving the invitation card at Mason."We are attending the auction?" Haley nodded. "I want to see who buys the necklace so we can buy it back when the issues with the World Bank are resolved," Haley said. Mason plans on going to the Auction alone, but Haley already has the card, and he can't disclose the system identity to her or any person, so he has to allow her to tag along.Mason smiled. "Don't worry the necklace is coming back to our family," he said. "When are we leaving?""The auction would
