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."

He joined the queue, which was moving fast considering the large number of workers available at the bank, and Mason patiently waited his turn.

"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 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

'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.

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.

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?"

VIP East Wing
As the elevator doors slid shut, cutting off the view of the journalist pinned to the ground. Mason let out a deep sigh, removing his cap and nose mask, which allowed fresh air to fill his lungs. He ran his hand through his hair, leaning back against the cold, metallic wall of the elevator. He shut his eyes for a moment, allowing himself to enjoy peace, which didn't last long when the buzzing from his pocket pierced through his mind.Mason pulled out the device to see the pop-up video of a familiar environment displayed on his screen. The woman in formal wear had an excited expression masking her features as she stood in front of the hospital broadcasting the news in front of her camera.[It has been confirmed that Mr. Williams, the son of Grace Williams, has been spotted within the walls of Williams Central Hospital. However, his identity remains a mystery, as he was seen wearing a black mask that concealed his face. The reasons for his visit are unclear, and no official statement h
Who Are You?
Mason, not intimidated by their appearance and the frown that etched across their faces, raised his gaze at the man. “Page Dr. Lukeman and tell him Mason Williams is here,” he said.Hearing those words, the two guards exchange a quick glance before turning their attention back to him with curiosity masking their features. “And who is that?” they asked, their tone laced with skepticism.“I’m his boss,” Mason replied.Caught off guard by his response, the two men furrowed their brows before erupting into laughter, drawing the attention of several people, including some journalists. They pinned their eyes in their direction and noticed the masked man discussing with the guard who had restricted them from going to the VIP wing but failed to pass them.“What do we have here this time?” one of the guards with a mockery smile muttered to his colleagues, who mirrored his expression.“He claims to be the boss of Dr. Lukeman, who happens to work for the Williams Central Hospital, which would ma
Unanswered Question
Everyone, including Haley, who was finding it difficult to process Mason's words, sat in stunned silence. She scanned Mason's face, and when she noticed her brother was serious, a smile crawled into her lips.“I can believe you did it, Mas,” she said proudly. She was about to say something else when her brow furrowed at the new thought that crawled into her mind, disintegrating her smile. Mason, recognizing her expression, nodded for her to voice whatever was stirring in her mind. “What is it, Haley?” he asked.When she finally processed her thought, she raised her gaze to him. “How did you find the cure when the trial hasn't started yet?” she asked, prompting the rest of the group to turn to Mason with curiosity.With his smile still lingering on his lips, Mason let out a sigh.

Law Suit
Mason furrowed his brow, with confusion etching across his face as he processed the words that Haley had uttered. “What do you mean I'm being sued?” he asked, his tone laced with confusion. When everyone hesitated again, he switched his gaze, searching their face for any hint of a joke, but the seriousness in their eyes told him this was no prank. Mason let out a heavy sigh before asking the obvious question roaming through his mind. “Who on earth is behind the lawsuit?"“The Jordan family,” Haley replied, her gaze shifting to Audrey, who was already busy with her fingers, swiping across her tablet's screen. When she arrived at what she was looking for, her eyes darted back to Haley before passing the device to Mason.Without any hesitation, Mason retrieved the tablet, and his eyes quickly navigated to the front page, where a headline screamed for attention.‘William Central Hospital Performing a Death Trial!’ The article's bold letters contrasted sharply against the sleek design o
Morning Crisis
The next day dawned too early for Mason Williams, and the obnoxious sound made him squint his closed eyes.“What the hell!” Mason cursed with a groan, his voice muffled by the comfort of his blankets. The sounds of heavy footsteps echoing down the hallway jolted him from a sleep, and as he lay there, wishing to dissolve back into the warmth of his bed, the whispers from the other side of the door made it impossible."Why don't you knock on his door?" the unknown voice asked. The unknown voice said."Why should I do it?" Another voice asked."Because Mrs. Williams gave you an instruction," the first voice reminded, making the other groan softly.After a few seconds of contemplating, a soft knock came from the other side of the door, making Mason rub his sleepy eyes. He squinted at his alarm clock, and the harsh red numbers revealed the early hour of morning.He drifted his gaze towards the door, where he could still hear the contemplating voices, who he assumed were that of the houseke
The Williams Mansion
Helen, noticing his swift response, shrugged her shoulders. “He is a boy in my class and has been asking me to be his reading partner,” she replied, sending a brief silence to the room.Helen sighs, her shoulders slumping with her breath. “I suppose it’s just that he always comes in second, while I manage to come first in nearly every class activity,” she added, her tone a mix of pride and sadness. Not waiting for Mason to reply, she pulled out her phone, and with a flick of her finger, began scrolling through the recent pictures taken during their skating activity.Mason couldn't help but notice one image of Cleopatra caught in an angle of her head slightly turned as she looked over her shoulder. Her smile radiated with warmth and joy. And her rich green eyes sparkled with a sense of relief and contentment, one which he hasn't seen in a while.“You know I could just send them to you,” Helen announced, prompting Mason to pull his gaze from the screen to his sister's face.“What?” He
Merry Goodbyes
Time flew by quickly, and the tension from the earlier part of the evening gradually transformed into a more lively atmosphere filled with laughter and chatter. The four figures who were now gliding gracefully across the smooth surface did so with a smile plastered across their lips, and with the help of Cleopatra and Fiona, Mason, who was a quick learner, mastered his balance, prompting him to skate solo.After a few more hours of laughter and fun, Mason and Helen bid their farewell to the girls, whose hearts were filled with warmth and shared moments. They exited the building and made their way towards the parking lot, which was filled with energy and surrounded by the sounds of laughter and cheerful chatter blending with the distant whir of rides.It was already evening, and the sun had begun to set, casting a golden hue over the park, illuminating the faces of families enjoying the last remnants of the day. With a bright smile, Helen paused for a moment, taking in the vibrant s
Cleaopatra's Decision
“Just as I mentioned to Cleopatra during our last encounter, I have a friend with some influential connections in there,” he said, glancing over at Cleopatra. The subtle look in her eyes indicated that she recalled the peculiar incident they had experienced at the hotel, bringing a mixed feeling that Mason was aware of.“If this was to be true, why hasn't Williams gone public with such a discovery? This isn't the kind of break Mrs. Williams would be holding back at this period!” She said, returning her gaze to the screen.“You talk like you know the woman that much,” Mason replied, switching his gaze to Cleopatra, who has the answer to his question.With a deep sigh, she stepped closer to her sister to read the details of the medical trial. “Mrs. Williams is a very smart woman. Mason, almost every girl in Aleric City wishes to be just like her,” she said, then widened her eyes when she noticed Fiona was the first candidate on the list. “My sister is on the list!”Fiona, who hadn't not
Fiona Reaction
“What?!” Fiona shrieked with a parted lip, echoing through the room. Everyone, including Helen, snapped their eyes in her direction. Caught off guard by the revelation, she staggered back with a pounding heart, but her instincts kicked in, allowing her to regain her balance with surprising agility. “Is this some kind of a joke?!” The incredulity in her voice was loud, laced with a mix of anger. She instinctively hunched her shoulders, which reflected her rising anxiety. She flicked her gaze from Mason to Cleopatra, whose lips parted in stunned silence, unable to find the words to respond. With a serious expression, Mason steps forward, closing the distance between them. “It is not a joke, Fiona,” he said in a calm tone that finally matched his demeanor. Fiona, still grappling with the overwhelming emotions swirling inside her, shook her head, refusing to accept the reality that loomed over them. Her eyes flickered with disbelief and denial, betraying her struggle to come to terms
