"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 head to meet her eyes, realizing he must have raised his voice.Since only he could see. "Nothing," he replied with a smile. "Sir, American Express has already issued you a Black card, which will be delivered tomorrow." Mrs.Anna said. "A Black card!" Mason was shocked by her words. He knew the American Express card was something only a few people had, but the fact he was issued one means he was among the few with it in possession.Mason swallowed and nodded with a smile. "Mrs.Anna," the Secretary who scolded her a few minutes before calling, exited her office. "I want you to go and attend to Mr.Bubble and apologize for your insolent behavior earlier," she said, and those words put a frown on Mason's face. "Excuse me, but you can see she is attending to me," Mason said. "And why on earth would you ask her to apologize to someone she politely told to wait his turn but turns out to be a pathetic jerk." Mrs.Jules, who didn't know Mason was now their biggest VIP client, snapped her head in the direction of Mr.Bubble, hoping he didn't hear those words. "Who do you think you're, you forsaken lowlife!" Mrs.Jules glared, pointing a finger at Mason. "How dare you constitute a nuisance in a place like this!" "Maam–" "Shut your mouth," the Secretary glared at Mrs.Anna, who was trying to tell her Mason Williams was their biggest Client. "You are getting fired today, Mrs.Anna!" the Secretary assured, then turned to Mason, who wore a frown. He was surprised how someone like her turned out to be the Secretary of this bank. "How did you even get past the security," Mrs.Jules spat, irritated by Mason's appearance. She hated his low-quality clothes and how comfortable he was in them. "But, Ma'am," Mrs.Anna interrupted, ignoring the threat. "That is Mr.Williams, our biggest VIP client."Mrs.Jules tilted her head to the employee and then back to Mason's expressionless face. "You mean Mr.Williams, who the chairman was trying to contact?" Mrs.Anna asked, and she nodded her head in response. "Are you sure this-" she glanced at Mason again before returning them to Mrs.Anna. "This man is Mr.Williams, or are you mistaken?" "Yes, Ma'am. His details are here," Mrs.Anna replied.Mrs.Jules, who didn't waste any time, went behind the transparent counter, and her face turned pale. She couldn't believe how someone she thought was a lowlife turned out to be as rich as that. "M…Mr. Williams," Mrs.Jules stammered as she exited the counter, forcing out a smile that shivered in her mouth.She had consistently recognized every big shot that entered the bank and would instantly create a good impression to win personal favor from them. She did this by ignoring those she called the lower class and attending to the rich Client. The minute Mason's account received a tremendous amount of money, even their chairman from overseas came to Aleric City to verify his identity man. The chairman asked Mrs.Jules to contact Mr.Williams instantly, but she couldn't reach him. "W-we weren't expecting you to drop by, Mr.Williams," she said with a smile. Mason glanced at her, irritated by the fake smile across her face. He shifted his gaze to Mrs.Anna, who hadn't said anything. "Mrs.Anna here is already attending to me," he responds, irritation visible in his tone. "How dare you raise your voice at him!" A third party snapped, Making their heads roll in its direction. "Mrs.Haley!" The Secretary gasped, seeing the woman who was approaching them. She was younger than Mr.Jules, who was in her thirties and was probably the same age as Mason. "I…I wasn't aware you would be checking in today. How was your trip." Mrs.Jules Stammered.The lady, who was in her early twenties, panned at her with anger. If she can make Mr.Jules tremble like this, then she holds a higher position at the bank. "How dare you raise your voice at him!" She repeated, anger masking her voice. "T…To him?" Mrs.Jules shivered. "There was a misunderstanding, Mrs.Harley. Mrs.Anna didn't inform me who he was on time," she said, sweat breaking from her face. The chairman had not only seen her assault Mrs.Anna but also Insulted the SAB's biggest Client.Mason was surprised at the woman who was defending him. He didn't know who this woman was, but he could swear if this woman didn't have lighter skin, longer hair, and feminine features, he could claim she would be his reflection.Mason stared at her. He didn't know how, but she looked exactly like him. It was almost as if she was his identical twin. "You dare refer to my brother as nausea!" Mrs.Heley spat, stopping next to Mason. Mason also shares in Mrs. Jules' confusion and stares at the lady. Did she call me her brother? "B…Brother?" Mrs.Jules muttered, and she went pale. She couldn't believe the words she just heard. Did Mrs.Harley refer to this man as her brother? Mrs. Jules's eyes switch between the two figures, and she immediately bows her head. "I'm very sorry for my behavior; please forgive me," she said.Mrs.Harley scoffed, shaking her head, and her facial expression made the Secretary fall to her knees. "My brother might have a soft heart and pardon you, but I don't. "You're fired."Mrs.Jules gasps. "No, no, please don't do this to me!" Mrs.Harley glances at the receptionist, watching the scene. "Call me the security," she ordered, and Mrs.Anna nodded. Within a few seconds, the men in uniform appeared before her. "Get her out of here." "Yes, ma'am," they responded, dragging Mrs.Jules, who struggled and kept pleading. "If you fire her, then who will attend to me?" Mrs.Bubble, who exited Mrs. Jules's office, asked, and Mrs. Harley's head snapped at him. "You will wait like the rest of the people in the queue," Mrs.Heley responded coldly, and Mr.Bubbles stared at her in surprise. Mr.Bubble hesitated briefly before moving to the back of the line. "I'm sorry, Mas, but I can't stand and watch others disrespect you," Mrs.Harley said. "You look like me," Mason muttered, not overcoming his shock. Mrs.Harley chuckles. "That's because I'm your twin," she replied.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 got to Helen's room; his mother, Grace Williams, sat beside her daughter. She held Helen's sleeping hands and gently stroked her hair as she whispered a familiar lullaby. 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. His mother tilted her head, and her worried gaze instantly turned into a sad expression. She quickly got up from her chair and hugged Mason tightly. "Oh, my baby," she sobbed, bringing tears to Mason's eyes. "I'm sorry I left," Mason said, wrapping his hand around her. "No, Mas, don't be. I should be apo
Deep into the south of Aleric city was the Williams Private District, which rested upon twenty hectares of land. The beautiful scenery of nature, which spread through the landscape along with the rivers flowing through the horizon, would make one mouth water in awe. It was a paradise, admits Aleric City, and Once every year, the exterior part of the WPD and its private museum would be open to one selected university amongst the rest to bring in their students and explore the wonders that lay within these walls. It was an opportunity one would kill for.Mason's eyes stared through the windshield of the moving car. His eyes gazed at the wonders that lay ahead. He couldn't believe this was where he and his family would stay and call home. Grace smiled, noticing the astonishment that rested on his face, and that alone brought her satisfaction. "It's nice, right?" she asked, staring outside the windshield. "Nice?! It is amazing!!" Mason replied, switching his gaze from his mother t
"Mason!" Adam Morrison muttered, stunned by his presence, and a tinny curve crawled up Mason's lips. 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. Even as the Manager of Skyhigh Hotel, It took him twenty minutes just to get cleared so he could enter the WPD and have a personal meeting with Mrs.Williams.The Skylight Hotel, another property of the Williams, was overseen by Adam's father, Hoston Morrison, who has been working for the Williams for years and was always seen on the front page
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 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
Mason's face deadpan at the two figures. He glanced at Jacob, who had one hand in his pants pocket and the other across Natalia's shoulder. His ex was also surprised to see him purse her lip while wearing a questioning gaze. If it was in the past, seeing Natalia with another man would have made his day suck, but now, he didn't care, and instead of being hurt by her, he was somewhat disappointed. Mason ignored Jacobs' comment and turned to the two sales ladies who were still waiting for his reply. "What on earth are you doing in a store like this, Mason?" Jacob's voice sounded closer, and Mason grew under his breath. "Don't you know they only sell high-end devices, and even your six-month salaries can't avoid anything here," Jacob's mockery soured through the room, attracting the faces of the sales girls who stared at them in confusion. Natalia, who had been quiet since they entered the room, stared at Mason's appearance. Even when she thought Mason Willams was poor, she couldn't
"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
