At Andrew's Mansion everywhere was filled up with love as both Mason and Andrew tried bringing back the memories they both shared when he found out that Andrew was his father. The way he hugged him tight and held onto his shirt for so long. “Can you now leave me alone or do you want to hug me down forever?” His father said to him in his ears while Mason was glued to his body with the tightness of the hug. “Don't you love the way I'm hugging you dad? At least you should be happy that my hands are widely stretched for you to fill in the space?” he teased his dad jokingly. “I never said that I didn't enjoy the hugs I get from you but I just feel like it's too much for me to handle. So, please big man kindly remove yourself off my body.” He pleaded with him without sounding so serious at all. “Since you've pleaded with me and you have gotten enough of my hug I'll retract myself away from you without further hesitation.” He said to him gently releasing himself from the tightness of his
The following day as early as possible, Mason walked into the office, his eyes fixed on the floor, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone. He noticed Louisa and Michael, his boss, engaged in a hushed conversation, but he attempted to ignore them, walking past with a deliberate air of indifference.Louisa, however, wouldn't let him off the hook. She flashed her mischievous grin and called out, "Hey, Mason! How can you just walk past us without saying hello, especially when your boss is here?"Mason kept moving, pretending he hadn't heard her. But Louisa's words hung in the air, and Michael's voice boomed out, "Mason, get back here! Now!"Mason's heart sank, but he turned around, his expression neutral. "Yes, sir?"Michael's face was red with annoyance. "What's wrong with you, Mason? Can't even be bothered to greet your colleagues?"Louisa chimed in, her tone dripping with sweetness. "Yeah, Mason, we're starting to think you're avoiding us."Mason shrugged, his eyes darting between the
Precious grasped Mason's arm, her voice softening. "Mason, calm down. There's no point arguing with them. They've made up their minds."Mason's face twisted in anger, but Precious's words slowly sank in.Just then, Louisa sauntered in, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Precious, darling, you're next. But don't worry, I'll make sure you go down gently...because I love y…"Precious scoffed, not even allowing Louisa to finish her statement.Precious's eyes flashed with anger. "Don't claim to love me, Louisa. You're just heartless, dark, and inconsiderate."Louisa's smile grew wider. "Oh, Precious. You wound me."Precious's voice rose. "You're wicked, Louisa. And you'll pay for what you've done."Louisa's laughter echoed through the room. "At least I'm not following a loser like Mason here." She gestured to Mason, her eyes mocking.Mason's face reddened, but Precious stood her ground. "You're just jealous, Louisa. Jealous of our integrity, our compassion."Louisa's laughter grew lou
The imposing man's presence was like a cold wind, sweeping through the room and commanding attention. His piercing gaze scanned the scene before him, taking in the fighters, the onlookers, and the chaos."Enough," he growled, his deep voice like thunder.Mason and Michael froze, their fists still clenched, their faces still twisted in anger.The staff members' murmurs grew louder, their whispers spreading like wildfire."Who is that?" someone whispered."The mysterious man," another staff member replied, her voice full of awe."How did he know what was going on?" someone else asked."I don't know, but he's not happy," another staff member replied, her eyes fixed on The mysterious man's stern face.The mysterious man's gaze swept the room, his eyes lingering on each face before moving on to the next."I want to know who started this," he growled, his voice dripping with authority.Mason and Michael exchanged a wary glance, neither of them willing to speak up."I did," Precious said fin
Michael's eyes flashed with defiance. "I don't care. I won't apologize for something I didn't do."Fredrick's voice rose, his words dripping with venom. "You'll regret this, Michael. You'll regret the day you crossed me."Fredrick's smile was cold, calculated. "We'll see about that. You have one minute to change your mind. If you don't, you're fired."Michael's eyes didn't waver, his jaw set in determination. "I won't do it, it's a shame."Fredrick's eyes narrowed, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Fine. You're finished. You're done. You'll never work in this industry again."The air was thick with tension, the silence between them like a living thing.Michael's eyes flashed with anger, his voice rising. "You can't do that! You can't ruin me!"Fredrick's smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with triumph. "Oh, but I can. And I will."Michael's feet dragged as he made his way to Mason, his eyes fixed on the floor. He had to apologize to keep his job."Ah, Mason," he muttered, his voice b
Andrew stepped into the dimly lit prison visitation room, his eyes scanning the space until they landed on Alex, who was seated behind the glass partition, a smirk etched on his face."So, you're back to beg me," Alex said, his voice dripping with amusement, as he leaned back in his chair.Andrew's jaw clenched, but he maintained his composure. "I'm here to make a deal with you, Alex. Tell me who sent you to poison me, and I'll pay you a hundred billion dollars just like I have promised you."Alex's laughter echoed through the room, a cold, mirthless sound. "You think I need your money, Andrew? I'm exactly where I want to be."Andrew's eyes narrowed. "Don't play games with me, Alex. I know you're not as content as you seem. You're rotting in here, and I'm offering you a way out."Alex's grin widened. "You think I'm afraid of you? I've seen the darkest corners of human nature, Andrew. Your threats mean nothing to me."Andrew's voice took on a persuasive tone. "I'm not threatening you,
Andrew stormed out of the prison, determined to catch up to Alex and Lucas. He spotted them across the parking lot, getting into a sleek black car."Wait!" Andrew shouted, running towards them. "You're not going anywhere until I get some answers!"Lucas turned a smirk on his face. "And what answers might those be, Andrew?""Who sent him to poison me?" Andrew demanded, his eyes locked on Alex.Alex sneered. "You'll never know."Andrew's anger boiled over. "I'll find out, even if I have to take you down myself."Lucas stepped forward, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I don't think so, Andrew. You see, Alex here has immunity. He's not going to tell you anything."Andrew's eyes narrowed. "Immunity? What are you talking about?"Lucas smiled. "Let's just say Alex has friends in high places. He's not going to betray them, no matter what you do."Andrew's boldness grew. "I'll find out who those friends are, and I'll take them down too."The standoff continued, with neither side willing to b

Yes, I saw him. Why?’’Mason's breath quickened. ”Lucas … I know him. He was the one who tried to kill me. He strangled me once. I never told you because I didn’t feel safe but now he’s back, and he’s helping Alex Then.Mr. Andrew's face paled. ‘But who is this man that you would talk to him this way?’, ‘Are you sure it is the same person?’Mason nodded vigorously. “I’m sure,” replied Mason confidently, his eyes never leaving the door th
