The drive to the mansion was fast and short. The men in suits bow their heads in respect as Mason navigates his way into the compound, illuminated by sophisticated street lights. Their guests' cars were parked inside the compounds. Deciding not to park the Bugatti in the garage, Mason saw a good spot and turned off the engine. He was about to exit his car when the constant vibration from his phone caught his attention.Mason slid his finger across the screen and opened the school group chat, which greeted him with numerous unread messages, with more coming in. Mason furrowed his brow since the school group chat is always quiet and is only active when there is an announcement or new gossip is going on on campus. He scrolled down, and his curious expression turned into a frown because the viral topic causing the commotion was about him and nothing about the school's activities."Mason Williams paid $62,856 for a meal!" The text that instigated other messages announced.Mason shifted hi
The contest of who would be the lucky viewer hit when Peter, one of the three musketeers, joined the stream. He wore his regular attire, and from the look of his background, Mason could tell he was at his dormitory. After adjusting to the stream, he said, "Good evening, everyone. I'm Peter from the Department of Engineering, and I will be joining the stream to answer a few questions today," he announced, muting his mic so the other ladies could speak.Stacy was the first to speak, as she had been waiting to hear from Peter about the rumor going through the university about a poor student who paid $62,856 for a meal. Most girls were curious about Mason and only wanted to confirm whether he was rich or a fraud. "Hello, Peter, I'm Stacy," the girl said, and Peter nodded in response, though he already knew who the five girls on the stream were. Every guy on campus knew they were Aleric University's beauty goddess, who attracted the attention of every male student, and Peter was no except
The comment section was going wild with shock and curiosity; even the five beauties on the stream also had their faces filled with awe and inquisitiveness. Peter, who was in his dormitory, was dumbfounded while staring at his screen, slowly comprehending the reality of receiving 10,000 stream flowers, approximately $20,000. He didn't know who the new guy, whose name is Celestian, was, and yet he gave him such an amount in one go. Peter shifted his eyes to the part where the comment was and noticed that his stream had increased from a single digit to three thousand views. “Oh my God, am I dreaming?” he muttered, not overcoming his shock.The new viewers flooded his stream with comments, attracting external viewers; When a stream earns a high amount of gift, the platform will receive notice, and its algorithm will automatically promote the stream to a wider range of people who might be interested."Oh my God, is this happening?" A viewer commented, seeing the name of the number one gif
Mason glanced at his watch; he didn't expect to spend up to thirty minutes watching the live stream, but he was satisfied with how the event turned out. He closed the car door with a soft slam before making his way to the mansion. The guards, who were posted at the entrance, saw him from a distance and bowed their heads in respect, which he reciprocated with a nod. Inside the mansion, Mason made his way to the dining room, where he heard more than one voice having a conversation. When he got closer, he could hear a masculine voice half-yelling, probably disagreeing with whomever he was talking to. Within a few minutes, Mason appears in the room, occupied by his family and other foreigners whom he assumed were his distant relative. Amidst the group were two familiar faces he remembered; one was Thomas, and the other was Jerry, who seemed to be irritated by what Grace had said. Mason shifted his gaze to his mother, who shrank her eyes, staring at Jerry, who was heaving with anger. “I
"Everyone, this is Mason, Haley's twin brother," Grace said with a smile, which Sarah and her associate reciprocated with a stunned expression. Though their minds had already thought of the possibility of this man being Haley's twin, Still hearing Grace say it left them dumbfounded. Mason watched as his aunties and cousin glanced at themselves, confusion evident on their faces. Sarah, who was the first to overcome her shock, cleared her throat. "I thought you were joking when you introduced the little girl as your daughter, Grace, not to talk of a son," she said, shifting her gaze from Helen, who didn't meet her eyes, to Mason, who could tell she was wearing a forced smile twitching at her mouth. "You're Haley's twin brother! Even Richard didn't tell me about them." Grace smiled at their stunned expression and said, "It was best the public never knew about it," Sarah's heart was filled with rage and shock, discovering her brother had other children, which she nor the public was
Curiosity spiked as Grace's voice reverberated through the room. "Where did you hear the news of a new project? "she asked seriously. Seeing Grace's reactions, Sarah smiled as she sipped from her glass. Even when all eyes were staring at her, demanding an explanation, she remained quiet. Calista knew it wouldn't do them any favor to keep Grace's curiosity, so she cleared her throat to attract her attention."There have been some rumors," Calista said, and her eyes roamed the table before resting back at Grace, whose frown softened as she began to explain. "We are not stalking the Williams business, but we heard you are making a big move with your new project, which will take the Williams Business to the next level."When Calista stopped her Explanation, Mason averted his gaze to his Mother, who listened carefully. She furrowed her brows and said. "Is that all? "Her tone was painted impatiently, and the Sisters bobbed their heads at the same time.Even with the stern expression, Mason
Mason groaned at the obnoxious sound shrieking inside his head. He pulled at his pillow, covering his ears, but pulled him into reality. When he finally opened his sleeping eyes, he shifted his gaze from his window, which was adored by the morning light, to the hologram displayed in front of him. Emoji was wearing a broad smile in the left corner of the screen. Mason heaved a sigh and adjusted his eyes to the alarm on his bed, and it was 6 am.“What is it?” Mason said through a beach breath.“It looks like you were sleeping,” Emoji muttered innocently.“Of course, I was sleeping,” Mason's eyes dagger at him, noticing the sarcasm lacing his tone.Emoji smiled, moving closer to him. “Well, it seems you're awake now,” he said, making Mason mentally roll his eyes.“The Celestial Assassin temple is ready and waiting for your arrival by 7:30 am,” Emoji said. “Don't be late; first impressions matter.”When Mason heard this, sleep evaporated from his eyes. “Why didn't you say so,” he murmured
Mason drove out of the mansion, heading toward the location sent by Cleopatra. It was still early in the morning with little traffic, and within fifteen minutes, Mason was close to the location, which seemed to be inside an estate. The neighborhood had one design stretching through the landscape, each house resembling the next. Apart from the expensive car that Mason drove past, he could tell the houses here were expensive, and the few people renting the apartment had a few million in their pockets.When Mason arrived at the destination, he glanced at his phone to ensure it was accurate. He heaved a sigh when he didn't see anyone or Cleopatra around. He waited a few minutes, and when he was sure no one was there, Mason was about to leave when the voices caught his attention."Can we just talk it out," a male voice echoed. Mason glanced at his side mirror to see a man trailing behind Cleopatra, who was angrily storming out of the apartment.The young man, who was in nice clothes, close
