“What?” Jason was the first to speak up. He knew it from the start. His eyes shone with hidden frustration when he heard the words that came from Mason’s mouth.“It’s not what you think,” Mason spoke with a small voice. After he had spoken, he had no power left in him to put up a fight. It seemed like everything had just vanished.“Let him finish, Jason,” Precious spoke up. Her voice was almost non-existent. What she had wished for had not come to pass and she couldn’t lie but the trust she had for Mason had dropped drastically There had to be a reason of course, and she wanted him to tell him that reason, or the story was not done.“But what else would he say? That it was for our own good?” Jason said with a mocking tone.“Just calm down, we told him to confide in us so we have to listen to everything he has to say.” Precious tried to smile, but it only came out stiff. Why didn’t he just tell them everything from the beginning? Wouldn’t that be much better than going through this pa
Anna felt restless as she tossed her body around from one point to another trying to understand and comprehend all that she just heard from Lucas and James' conversation. She never thought for once that James would hide certain information like that from her. She thought he loved her passionately and when she meant love. It means he won't be able to hide anything away from her. "What exactly did I do to deserve this kind of pain? Is it a crime to fall in love with someone? Even though I know that I wronged Mason he won't even dare treat me the way James is treating me. Sometimes, I sit down and ask myself if I did anything wrong to love someone with my whole heart.” She questioned her inner child as she broke down in tears. James could hear the sniffles of her running nose and the trickles of her tears. He rushed to her side and brushed her hair as he was shocked and dumbfounded seeing hot tears coming out of her eyes, “Babe, what is the problem? Does it hurt that bad? I think u n
“So that’s all we need to know about you, right?” Jason looked at Mason skeptically. He knew that Mason had told them nothing but the truth but it was a bit hard to ignore the fact that he had lied to them for months, and they needed to at least speak about that part. Looking at Precious, he knew that she was also troubled about this fact and he wanted to speak up but he decided to keep quiet. Some things were better left unspoken and it would be easier for him to get over what Mason had just taken them through.“Yes, Jason. That’s all you need to know and I am sorry for everything I have put you guys through without telling you the actual truth.” Mason said with a small smile.These people had been his friends despite all so he didn’t want to leave or put them in danger. However, now that they asked for it. He hoped that he would at least be able to comfort them.Jason felt a huge weight lifted from his chest when Mason apologized and maybe that was all he wanted –A simple and since
"I don't know, but I'm not going to let them catch up to us. Mason gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror. "Hold on, Precious. This guy's not giving up."Precious's voice was laced with panic. "Mason, what's going on? Why are they chasing us?"Mason's jaw clenched. He swerved into another lane, the tires screeching in protest. The car behind them followed suit, its driver determined to keep up."Mason, please be careful!" Precious cried, her hands bracing herself against the dashboard.Mason's eyes darted back and forth, searching for an escape route. "I am, I am. Just hang on."He sped up, weaving in and out of lanes, the car behind them hot on their heels. Precious's panic turned to fear, her breath coming in short gasps."Mason, we're going to crash! Please stop!"Mason's face set in a determined expression. "Not until we lose this guy."He took a sharp turn, the tires squealing in protest. The car behind them struggled to keep up, its driver curs
“Ma'am this isn't about me naming my price or not. This is about my integrity and the trust everyone in this hospital has for me.” She turned her face to the other side of the window while still trying to reconsider all what Anna has said to her. Anna coughs one more time, “ please, nurse I know I've put you through a lot but at the same time I really need to speak to my mother before it is to late.” She pleaded with her. “If you truly want to speak with her then call her. Pick up your phone and call her. Or, do you still need my assistance to do that?” She rolled her eyes feeling irritated by her order. “Gosh! How else do you want me to beg you before you grant me this one last request? I really need to see my mum before anything happens.”“Anything? Ma'am, incase you've forgotten your man almost disfigured my face. Do you want him to kill me before you let me be? Do you want him to kill me before you see that I'm being serious here?” She cried out to her showing her the mark that
Anna's mum ignored the cry of the poor nurse who had earlier complained to her about her pushing her absurdly. She rushed over to Anna's side and started running her hands over her face down to her legs. “Did anyone hurt you? Where you treated in a harsh way? What exactly happened to you?” She held unto her face so tight with her eyes tearing up. “Mum, nothing happened to me at all I just needed to confide in you about something crucial.”“What exactly do you want to talk to me about that you didn't share it with me when I was here.” She looked at her with a weird face. “I…I…didn't even thougt about seeking your advice when you showed up and that's probably because I never thought not imagined to call you back.”Anna's mum scoffed out loud, “You've always been indecisive. Or, could it be because you missed me that much? Oh! No, don't tell me that you called me back here because of what I said about your man.” She stood up from where she say close to her and distanced herself apart
Precious' heart was racing with different thoughts as she fired down the car looking for the nearby hospital to admit him in. She was scared as she looked at Mason who was still struggling to breathe. Mason held onto her hands softly, his heart racing slowly, “What are you planning to do, Precious?” He pulled the chair forward a bit with his blurry eyes as he made use of his backhands to clear off his blurry eyeballs. “Where exactly are you going? What happened? Answer me precious and stop keeping me silent.”“I don't know exactly what to say right now but all that matters to me is that I have to take you to the hospital before your attackers come for you again.”“That isn't the answer to the question I asked you, Precious. You can't keep driving me around without providing details to where you are heading to.”Precious eyes were more focused on the driving wheel so she had zero attention for him. “Mason, I don't mean to ignore you but at the same time, I can't keep calm knowing
James drove tirelessly while waiting for Lucas to give him a call before it got late. He had no plans to come outside but he just had to come outside for his friend. He parked his car properly at a nearby cafe and rolled up his windows before dialing Lucas's number. Ring! Ring! He bit the tip of his fingernails as he waited for Lucas to pick up the call. “Didn't I just finish speaking with him a few minutes ago? He knows that he has a lot of issues on his neck and he isn't with his phone close to him.” He felt angry at him for not picking up the call. “I'll try giving him a call for the second time.” He calmed his nerves down as soon as he said the words to himself. He brought out his phone and dialed his number one more time waiting for him to pick up the call. As he was about to give up on the call seeing that Lucas didn't want to pick it up he heard the voice of Lucas on his phone screen. “Hey! Man!” Lucas jeered him up a bit trying his best to rub off his attitude of not r
