"That's not possible," Mason replied, remembering he had ten billion dollars in his account the last time he confirmed from the bank. Mr. Anna, who is now the new bank manager, had personally assisted him with his card. "Please try one more time," Mason told the sales girl, and even when she had tried it a couple of times, she nodded without complaint. She was about to return to the shop's interior when Jacob's voice stopped her.

"I can't believe you thought the poor man could afford anything in a store," Jacob laughed. "For God's Sake, this is Mason Willams. He is the poorest boy in my school," Jacob mocked. He was satisfied with the situation and wanted to take advantage of it to disgrace Mason.

"Don't be fooled by his borrowed outfit. He doesn't have a scent attached to his name and can't keep his girlfriend," Jacob said, placing his hand across Natalia, who had a smirk across her face.

Mason clenched his fist but remained calm. "Will you stop spilling nonsense, Jacob?" Mason reto

    Mason laughed hard at the shocked faces, watching his car drive from the store. He couldn't help but recall Natalia's priceless expression until tears lingered in the corner of his eyes as a result of laughing too hard. When he was done, he sighed and calmed himself, focusing on the road and overtaking a motorcycle rider who stared at the Bugatti in awe. The ringtone of his phone caught his attention. 'Now, who is it?' Mason mutters to himself. However, he had set up his new iPhone 15 pro max and had put his old sim. He didn't expect to receive any call since the sim has been inactive. Mason glanced across the screen to see the caller, but it had no name, then ignored the call to avoid being distracted. The phone rang again, and a sigh escaped his parted lip. He picked up the phone and placed it on speaker."Hello?" Mason said, panning his eyes on the road."Mason!" The voice called, and Mason furrowed his brow at the familiar voice; the name of the possible person crossed his mind,

    Mason arrived at the mansion and parked the car in the garage. He walked towards the main house, and when he saw his mother's assistant entering the main hall, he knew his mother was back, and Joy bubbled through his veins. Mason headed for the door, and when he arrived at the living room, he stopped with a smile on his lips as he stared at Helen, watching her favourite show. She looked happy, and that alone made his heart warm. Mason turned to the figure descending the staircase."You're back," Haley notified, and Mason nodded with a smile, bringing her into a hug.

    The next morning, Mason slid out of his bed, humming into the bathroom. After some minutes, he came out feeling more refreshed. Mason entered the walk-in wardrobe, and since he planned on going to the Sky High hotel this morning, he settled for a black suit. Mason wore a radiant smile as it was his first time wearing an expensive suit, and just like he predicted, the black matched his elegance. When Mason was satisfied with his appearance, he went for the exit. Reaching the living room, Mrs.Willams sat on the couch discussing with Mrs.Audrew, her assistant, who was the first to notice his presence."Good morning, Mason," she greeted, not hiding the astonishment written across her face.Mason smiled. "Good morning to you, Audrey."He turned to his mother, who stood up immediately when she saw him. Mason paced to her side and kissed her cheek.

  • MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM    GET ME YOUR FATHER

    The door swung open, revealing a group of people Mason wasn't familiar with. Adam stood beside an older man in his seventies, and Mason assumed him to be his father, Mr.Hoston Morrison. His cranky old figure was in a branded suit, and Mason crunched his nose at the security men behind him."I said get me your father, Mr.Adam, not the entire security department," Mason said with a wave of pretentious anger crawling onto his face. Mason knew exactly what would happen the moment he boarded that elevator to the top floor, and he knew the company handover wouldn't go smoothly without the presence of his mother. Still, he had her signature, and he also wanted to test his authority without the help of his mother.Mr. Hoston's raging eyes panned at Mason, who would have been scared in the past, but right now, he waved the old man's gaze, pointing to the seat opposite him."Have a seat, Mr.Hoston," Mason said, his words increasing the old man's anger, who felt his pride was being stamped upon

    Mr.Hoston frowns, placing the phone closer to his ear. "Good morning, Mrs.Audrey," he greeted, trying hard to keep his composure while Mason just sat and watched the scene. "Good morning Mr.Hoston, it's nice to hear from you. Is there an issue?" Audrey asked. "No, not at all," The old man smiled, turning to Mason. "Is that there is this imposter who claims to be the son of Mrs Williams and the CEO of the Sky Hotel and we all know Mrs.Williams doesn't have a son.""Do you mean, young master?" She asked, and Mr Hoston furrowed his brow. "The what?" he asked with a furrowed brow, turning to Mason, who now had a smirk."The young Master; Mason Williams is indeed the son of Mrs.Williams and is the heir of the Williams empire," she said, her words paralyzing the old, whose cranky figure was pale. "T…That I…Impossible," Mr Hoston stuttered, looking at Mason, who rose from his chair, moving towards the man who couldn't hold his phone as the revelation took a toll on him. "Father!" Adam r

    After getting rid of the Hoston and handing them over to the police, the police were able to locate the account that Adam and his father used to launder money from the Hotel. Sixty per cent of the funds were recovered to the Hotel while the rest were spent on private property, which the Hoston bought for luxury. Mason glanced at the location of the properties. "Send this everything to my mail," Mason said to Billy, who nodded in response. After getting to know him and his family's condition, Mason allowed Billy to continue being his Secretary. The Hoston had promised to settle his mother's medical bills but didn't keep to their promise and even threatened to fire him. Billy became loyal to Mason, and he cleared his mother's bills."I need to go somewhere," Mason notified him. "Keep me posted if anything comes up." He glanced at his watch, which was already 9 am and from the school platform, he saw that his class was starting at 10 am, so he decided to drop by the campus on time. Af

    "T…There is no need for security," Mr.Jude said, but Mason, wearing a hardened expression, ignored him. He already knew the basics of the situation and wanted to get to know both of them. The two massive security officers move toward Mr.Jude, making him fearfully shiver. He didn't know that today would be the day he would be caught with his scheming business."Mr.Mason, we're at your service," the security men said with a bowed head. Mason nodded in response."Please execute this man to the control room," he pointed at Mr.Jude, who stared from him to the two security personnel who approached him. Without yielding to Mr.Jude, they drag him to the control room. When they arrived, Mason nodded at Billy, who instructed the staff to search for the footage of Mrs.Francasca heading toward the VIP rooms. After a few minutes, they pulled out the video, containing Mrs.Francicas and a familiar figure sexually harassing her.The smile that crawled up Mason's lips was evident, and that alone sent

This moment fit into his perfectly planned for his expulsion letter to be revoked by the university."Mr.Oman," Mason called with a furrowed brow, covering his legs on the table. "Is there a problem?" Mason asked, pretending not to know why Mr. Oman was suddenly anxious. If this video was ever leaked out, it wouldn't only destroy his marriage and status, but he would also lose his job and respect."What do you think you're doing, Mason?!" The middle-aged man shrieked. "Delete this video at once!" he commanded. Mason laughed, surprised at how Mr. Oman expected him to follow his commands as if he were speaking to one of his students on the university grounds where his word meant power. Unknowingly to Mr.Oman, the ball was in Mason's court."And why will I do that? You are caught sexually harassing a hotel staff,"

  • 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.

  • 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

    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
