"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.

    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

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

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.

Mason asked, pretending not to know why Mr. Oman was suddenly anxious.

"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,"

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.

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.

    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

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

  • 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.

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.
