MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Donation
"You can leave now," Mason said dismissively, resting his eyes on Mr.Douglas. The lecturer instantly masked his shame and hurried out of the office without turning back or glancing at the VC, whose eyes bored holes at the back of his head. When Mr. Douglas's figure disappeared through the hallway, Mason averted his eyes to the VC, puzzling at him and not satisfied with his decision to let Mr.Douglas go."Sir, why did you pardon Mr.Douglas considering his crimes and abuse to the student, someone like him doesn't deserve a second chance to even work here?"Mason nodded his head, standing from his seat. "I didn't pardon Mr.Douglas for his sake, vice chairman. I did it for the sake of the students who would be returning to school. They are far behind and would need extra help. That is where Mr.Douglas comes in so he can repair the damage he did," Mason replied, glancing at the assistant, who nodded in understanding. "Okay, sir, if you say so," the VC replied, dropping the topic. Sir, wha
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Mason's Donation
All eyes stare at Cleopatra, who glances at the name popping on her screen. Mason Williams had transferred $10000, making him the biggest donor on the list. Though she knew about Mason being rich, and having a limited edition Bugatti, she didn't expect him to be generous enough to contribute $10000 to people he didn't even know. Cleopatra overcomes her curiosity and raises her gaze to the class.“Let's appreciate Mason for donating $10000,” Cleopatra announced with a smile. Instead of the rumbling of hands, numerous gasps erupted through the atmosphere, making everyone pan their eyes on Mason, who ignored their gaze and rested his eyes on his phone.Meanwhile, Mason thought of transferring more than $10000 since a few thousand dollars meant nothing to him, compared to the billions in his account, but transferring a larger amount would lead to suspicion, which was the last thing he needed considering the plans he had made, and keeping his identity a secret was part of it.The murmur in
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Natalia Confrontation
Through the corner of his eyes, Mason could see Natalia's figure closing in with every running step she took. Mason, refusing to stop, could hear her frustration breathing down his back including the sound of her dangling jewelry while her hair bounced on her shoulder blade.“Mason!” She yelled again, jumping in front of him to block his path. Halting his footsteps, Mason drops his gaze on her figure. “What?” He asked in a cold tone devoured by zero emotions. Natalia forced a lumps down her throat while her face twitched with a smile which Mason Didn't reciprocate. She heaved a sigh brushing the strand of hair from her face and said. “Did you block my number?” she asked, holding Mason's straight gaze.Her question remained unanswered as he stayed firmly quiet. After a brief second, he tried to walk past her but she blocked his path again, making a frown crawl onto his face. “Get out of my way Natalia,” he growled, making her scoff, folding her hands across her chest.“So you can talk
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Trouble At The Entrance
The auditorium building was huge, and its size stretched to an unknown distance Mason wasn't aware of. The irony of the situation hit him, and a little smile appeared on his face. He has been at Aleric University for years; it was his first time at the student auditorium. The time a general gathering was announced like this was during his freshman year, and he could not attend due to the part-time jobs he was juggling. Shifting his thoughts, Mason followed the queue with several students walking in the same direction. The Security guard standing at the entrance of the auditorium building made Mason groan as the reason for their appearance whacked him. He wasn't holding his student pass, which he had forgotten at home. Since it is an official gathering with the university staff, including other high administrators of the University, the security pass will strictly be used. As if that wasn't enough, Mason raised his head to the broadcasting speaker at the top of the building, towering
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Who Did You Call?
The security man locked eyes with Mason, who hung up and slid his phone into his pocket. During his phone call, Mason noticed that the security man instructed his subordinate to allow several female students into the auditorium, even when they didn't have their student pass with them. The subordinate wasn't pleased with the instruction since his superior had already denied a male student access to the auditorium for not having his student.“You better do as you're told!” the man growls, pushing his colleague out of the road. “Here you go girls, you can go in,” he smiled, allowing the giggling girls through.Meanwhile, Mason who was watching the scene couldn't figure out what pleasure the security man would have for denying him access but he didn't think much and was glad he could turn the situation around.When he approached the entrance again, the security man scoffed as he thought Mason must have returned to his senses, and had come to beg so he could be allowed into the auditorium.
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Congratulatory Ceremony
Inside the vastly decorated auditorium were several banners cascading down the white wall of the hall which describe the awards, and the congratulatory ceremony. The atmosphere was filled with cheerfulness and excitement leaving a subtle of anticipation on the participating students and along the space was a series of chairs arranged down to the horizon ending a few meters from the dais.Mason glanced through the crowd, and he could see more than six hundred students from various levels navigate to occupy them, except for Jeremiah. When Mason couldn't figure out his location, he brought out his phone to dial his number."Mason!" a voice called, and he raised his head to the direction to see Jeremiah waving from the middle roll of the hall. Several eyes turned in his direction; those who didn't know him glimpsed at him while those at his level focused on Mason, who made his way through the walkway."Why on earth will you come to school like this!" Mason muttered to himself, moving tow
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM A Prestigious Student
Silence roamed between the two friends; even when Jeremiah said nothing, he knew he was saying everything. "She is just a friend," Mason said, ignoring Jeremiah's prying gaze, which didn't quench the stunned expression and the sarcasm in his eyes."Since when did you and the prettiest girl in our department become friends?" Jeremiah asked, slurring the last words. Mason didn't bother to provide an answer to the question and quickly dismissed the topic by placing his index finger on his lips to silence Jeremiah. "The ceremony is starting," Masaon said, nodding at the person approaching the dais. Jeremiah reluctantly shifted his eyes to the man holding a microphone, staring at the crowd with a broad smile."Good day, distinguished student it is my pleasure to announce the commencement of the Art project ceremony, and before we do, there are some important personnel I would like to invite to the VIP reservation," he said and shifted his eyes to the card on his hand."Firstly I would lov
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Qualified Students
The whispers of students lasted for about two minutes before the host tapped at his microphone signaling for silence. The noise died down prompting all eyes to turn in his direction. The host cleared his throat and announced. “With the official seated we will proceed with the next phase of the ceremony,” he said then paused at the lady in a white dress who approached the podium and whispered into his ear. She handed him a list of the qualified students for the Art project, making total silence soar through the room as the participant focused their eyes on the paper even when they couldn't make out the names on the list.“On behalf of the school, I would like to call on Mason Williams, to announce the name of the qualified student and also give out the awards,” the host said, turning to him with a nod. Without hesitating Mason stood to his feet, and with the crowd tracing his every step, he approached the host, who handed him the list of the qualified candidates and the instructions t

A Stranger Ball
As soon as Mason drove his Bugatti in the opposite direction of the convoy, his hand skillfully switched the gear, and his leg pressed on the gas pedal, making the engine roar, the sharp sound echoing down the street. Heads snapped in his direction, leaving them baffled in thought at the speed such a car could hit.Mason's phone vibrated on the passenger seat, and the screen was illuminated by a familiar number that sent a sense of urgency through him. He briefly glanced at the road, then slid his finger across the screen to answer the call, prompting the voice from the other end to echo through the speaker.“Master, IT has successfully retrieved the information from the picture you sent,” Miranda reported, and he nodded in satisfaction at her fast response. Though Mason was unsure if it was just a coincidence that the name the stranger mentioned was the same as the one listed on his mission. To play it safe, Mason had secretly taken a photo of the man and sent it to Miranda, instruc
The Chief Office
Mason had no trouble locating the chief's office, especially with the Haley security personnel standing guard at the door. As he approached, he could hear muffled conversation coming from within but couldn't identify the other female voice."Where is Mr. Williams? I wasn't expecting him to be late.”The unknown figure's thought slipped into his head, and with a deep breath, he cleared his mind, blocking out any unauthorized thoughts from intruding.Inside the chief's office, several pairs of eyes turned toward him walking in; from their expression, his presence had interrupted their conversation.Haley, who wasn’t part of the discussion, had her gaze fixed on her phone as she sat opposite the chief. In the corner of the room was a woman Mason hadn’t seen before. She wore a black suit tailor to hug her figure. The files in her hands indicated she was the lawyer his mother had sent to handle whatever decision he would make.“Good day, Mr. Williams, I'm Ruth Conner, your family attorney,
A System Message
"Follow me," the chief announced, leading the way toward the hallway where his office was located. He muttered a few things to Haley, who ignored him as she and her security team trailed behind the man. 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. He narrowed his gaze to the men in front of him, realizing he was in public and would attract attention if anyone noticed him speaking to himself or gesturing at an invisible object in the air.“The chief is waiting for you, sir,” the man repeated.Mason nodded his head,
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. The conc
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. The news of Mason addressing the crowd had hit the air, and every journalist outside constantly dropped their gaze to their watch, and when the time for the press conference approached, the space quickly filled with several recording devices set. The excitement and curiosity wasn't just centered in the conference room alone; rather, it included the viewer who also heard the news circulating through social media platforms crowded around their devices, eagerly following live updates and waiting to catch a glimpse of the most anticipated speaker of the day. Amid the bustling crowd of journalists, a team of security personnel dressed in black suits stood at various points of the room. Their eyes scanned the area like hawks while communicating discreetly with one another via their walkie-
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
