2024-02-04 05:44:00Inside the hospital, one of the nurses who attended to Mason yesterday approached him, her worried eyes panned at his body. "Mr. Williams, are you alright?" she asked, looking at the bloodstained on Mason's clothes and the dark circles underneath his eyes.
"I'm fine," Mason replied, glancing at his body. "Though his wounds were almost healed, he couldn't deny the little sting he still felt. "Are you sure you don't want to get that check?" She asked, hoping Mason would change his mind, but Mason shook his head. "How's my sister?" he asked, changing the topic, and the nurse's eyes immediately lit up at his question. "Good news," she said with a smile. "We have been trying to contact you hours ago to inform you that Helen was awake but couldn't get hold of you." the nurse replied, and Mason's eyes widened, remembering he misplaced his cellphone during his accident. "She's awake?" he asked with a clouded eyes.The nurse nodded with a smile. "Right now, she's sleeping without needing the oxygen mask."Mason, who didn't waste time, rushed to Helen's room. The doctor attending to her was there with two females which Mason did not recognize. "Doctor, I heard my sister was awake," Mason said, and the three figures turned toward him. "Mr.Williams," the doctor called and nodded in response. "She's responding well to her treatment and is asleep now."Mason's eyes were flooded with tears as he stared at his sister. Within a day, Helen was looking healthier compared to when he had brought her in. "Doctor," Mason called, wiping the tears from his eyes. "I have yet to complete the down payment; all I need is more time. I promise to work hard and come up with it. J-Just, please don't stop her treatment," Mason's voice pleaded.The doctor smiled at Mason. "You don't have to worry about the payment, Mr.Williams. I work for you," He said.Work for me?Mason furrowed his brow. "What do you mean, you work for me?" He asked, confused. "Mas," a feminine voice called, and Mason turned in split seconds, sending a shock of wave down his spine. It's been more than ten years since anyone called him by that name, and the only person who did was his 'Mother!'Mason's head snapped in the direction of the voice. His gaze landed on the woman whose throbbing hands silenced her sob with tears running down her cheek.She was standing in elegant clothes, her body decorated with bright diamonds, and a strong aura of wealth surrounded her.She was the same woman Mason had once called Mom. Mason staggered back at the sight before him. He couldn't believe what was happening. His mother, who he thought was dead, was standing before him. He closed his eyes and opened them, and the figure was still in his front. "W…what is going on? What the hell is this?" Mason stammered, staring at her beautiful face and the blurry memory of his mother resurfacing. "It's me, baby, it's mommy," Grace said, stretching her hands, but Mason shrunk away, making more tears roll down her cheek. "T-This can't be possible!" Mason felt his lungs stretch for air. "T…They told me I can't see you anymore because you were dead!" "I… It's not true, baby. They took you and Helen away from me. They took my babies from me." her voice cracked. Mason's tears were dropping to the floor as he looked into his mother's eyes, filled with sadness. "What the fuck is going on today!" Mason half screamed with his finger running through his hair.What does she mean they took you?"You left us!" he said, remembering the pain and grief he went through when the orphanage told him he was never going to see his parents because they died in a car crash. "I prayed it wasn't true, but it was on the news." "No baby, those people manipulated the news," she turned to Helen, who was still sleeping. "You and your sister are the best thing that ever happened to me, and those monsters took you away."Even though Mason had a thousand questions running through his head and wanted an explanation, He just couldn't do it. "I can't do this right now," Mason said, moving out of the room. He felt like his head was going to explode. He needed some air and space, so he left the room, ignoring the voices calling behind him. "Mason, please don't go," he heard his mother say before he exited the room. "Don't worry, he will come around," said a voice that Mason assumed was the other female beside his mother before exiting the room.Mason left the hospital, wandering down the street with no particular direction. He still couldn't believe everything that was happening to him, starting from losing his job to his mother, who he was dead, turned out to be alive. He should be happy his mother was alive, but he couldn't comprehend the strange things happening to him. "You should listen to her side of the story, Mason," a familiar voice said, and Mason turned to see Emoji floating in the air beside him. "It's you!" Mason muttered. "Excuse me!" Mason called to a man walking down the street. He stared at Mason with furrowed brows and a frown plastered on his face at Mason's torn attire, assisted with the bloodstained. 'What does this madman want from me,' the man muttered. "I don't have any money to give you," the man said before Mason could reply. "No, not that," Mason replied, shaking his head. "I need to ask you a question. Can you see the Emoji floating in the air?" Mason asked, pointing towards Emoji.The man's frown deepens. "I knew you were crazy," he said and walked away, leaving Mason dumbfounded. "I wouldn't blame him," Emoji said, and Mason averted his eyes from the man. "What?" "You sounded crazy yourself," Emoji chuckled. "No one can see me except you, Mason." "There must be a scientific explanation," Mason said. "If you still doubt It, you can check your account balance from that ATM." Emoji pointed to the machine nearby. "I can't do that because I don't have an ATM card," Mason said, remembering he never collected his card from the bank and has always gone to this bank to make any deposit or withdrawal. "What century do you live in, Mason," Emoji said, rolling its eyes. "Then you have to go to the bank."

Mason entered the South Aleric Bank. It was one of the prestigious banks in Aleric City. He joined the queue, which was moving fast considering the large number of workers available at the bank, and Mason patiently waited his turn. The curious eyes that passed glanced at him, some minding their business while others did otherwise, but Mason wasn't bothered by it as the only thing that concerned him was a confirmation from the bank that he wasn't going crazy.After some minutes, it was his turn, and he walked to the Lady behind the transparent counter. "Good afternoon, sir. How may I help you?" the fair, slender Lady greeted with a warm smile, adjusting her glasses before returning to her computer. "Good afternoon. I'm here to collect my ATM card," Mason responded. The queue behind Mason was murmuring, and Mason knew they were gossiping about him, but he paid them no attention.

MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM VIP CLIENT
"Nothing, it's just that we didn't expect SAB's biggest VIP client to come around today. Mrs.Anna replied with a shocked expression. "Biggest VIP client?" Mason asked, confused. Mrs.Anna nodded in response. "Your account is worth five hundred billion dollars," she said, and in an instant, cold sweat broke down Mason's forehead.Five hundred billion Dollars! "Are you serious?" Mason asked, blinking his eyes in disbelief. "Yes sir," Mrs.Anna replied. "These are the figures on my screen."Emoji words were valid, and he wasn't crazy after all, and if he had five hundred billion dollars in his account, that meant he was a billionaire; the thought mentally slapped his face. "I still can't believe you doubted me," Emoji said, reappearing beside him. "You have trust issues." "How could I not!" Mason responded with his leg suddenly feeling jelly. It was taking everything he had not to scream in joy. "Did you say something, sir?" Mrs.Anna asked, and Mason raised his
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM THE TWIN SISTER
Mason couldn't take his eyes off the figure in front of him. "How is this possible?" Mason asked, confusion visible on his face. If he had a twin, he would know it wasn't something a parent would keep from his children. At first, he wouldn't believe the possibility of it as his mother, who he thought was dead, was also alive and today seems to be making the impossible possible. "We can discuss it in my office," she replied, leading the way. Mason followed her into the exotic office in the bank, which seemed to be owned by the chairman, and with her name crested on the door, he assumed she was the chairman. Mason tilted his head to meet her blue eyes, clouded with tears. "I'm sorry, but can I hug you?" she asked, already holding her hands, hoping he wouldn't decline. Mason nodded his head in response and took her into his embrace. After a few seconds, she pulled, wiping the tears from her eyes. "When Mum told me we looked the same, I couldn't believe it at first," she smile

Mason noticed the hurt laced in her voice as it reverberated in his head.Many questions he needed to answer kept running through his mind, questions like: why did his parents keep his twin sister a secret from him, and who were the people that brought pain to his precious family?Mason felt his leg rooted to the ground as he stared at her. His body was tense, and Haley, behind him, gently squeezed his shoulder, assuring him everything would be okay. "Mom," Mason finally called, moving from the threshold.

Adam wasn't expecting to meet a man who was down on his knees a few days ago begging him so he could continue his cleaning job at the Sky High Hotel to be standing inside Williams's mansion. 'Is he here to apply for a job?' Adam thought to himself. He didn't fail to notice Mason's clothes, torn by its side and stained with blood, causing a frown on his face. "What on earth are you doing here, and how do you get into this place?" Adam asked, perplexed how someone like Mason could enter one of the most secured private properties in Aleric City.

MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM SYSTEM FULLY ACTIVATED
Mason entered the room, which Mr.Freg told him was his. "It's huge!" Mason muttered. A smile of satisfaction was seen on his face as he strode through The enormous rectangular bedroom. At the center of it was a king-size bed with Golden designer bed linings surrounding its expensive frame. A chandelier hangs above a few meters from its stand, glowing through its space. The slick curtain that cascaded the room's wall allowed daylight to scale through the enormous French window, with a view that showcased the beauty of nature. Beside the window, Mason opened the transparent door of the mini balcony. Flowers surrounded the modern furniture, and the tables had candles, creating a coziness assisted by a feeling of fresh air that admired one's skin.Mason took his time adoring everything presented before him. His formal apartment was nothing compared to this one, and he would have to add triple its to meet up with the space of his current bedroom.When Mason hit the shower, he felt like
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM SUN AND MOON
Mason was led east of the mansion, and the patrolling guard bowed their heads in respect. The opening sound of the main gate echoed from a distance, and Mason glanced to see Adams' car leaving the district. "Is there a problem young master?" Mr.Freg asked, noticing Mason had been phasing out since they exited the mansion.Mason sighs, contemplating if he should tell him about his mission. The system had warned him about the consequences of revealing its identity. "Mr.Freg have you heard of the Sun and Moon?" "The Sun and Moon," Mr.Freg repeated his word. "You mean the Sun and Moon necklace?" "Necklace?" Mason inquired. "Yes, it's the reason Madam Grace, went back to the office today, she had been looking for that necklace for a very long time," "For a very long time?" Mason asked, surprised, and Mr.Freg nodded his head. "The sun and moon have been with the Williams generations and it was said to go missing the day Mr.Willams died," Mr Freg's voice drops with

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
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
