Mason and Precious hurried straight up to where Jason and Louisa stayed. Mason seeing that Jason's eyes were almost half dead quickly rushed over to where Louisa stood and pushed her away. Jason fell on the floor with his eyes half closed while he tried his best to catch up with his breath. “Precious, go get him water before he passes out,” Mason ordered her immediately while pinning Louisa on the floor. “Will you get your stinky self out of my body? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?” She struggled to let him stand up from her body. “You should be the one ashamed of yourself, Louisa. Why do you keep bullying people every time? Do you think you are the only one that has the power to control everyone in this company?” “See, who is talking? Why would a shameless girl like me be ashamed of myself you rascal? Will you get up from my body or are you trying to seduce me to fall for you?” The moment Mason heard the words seduce he stood up from her body, “Now, I can see that you are
Louisa wasn't happy with what just happened between her and Precious. She never believed that a day would come when precious would take that bold step to ridicule her in the presence of anyone. So, she rushed to where Precious had gone and pulled her back into the office room. “What the hell has gotten into you, Louisa? Why can't you allow me just to be instead of you running after me at every given opportunity you got?” Precious cried out to her. Louisa leaned closer to her and licked her lips slowly before responding to her, “There is nothing wrong with me at all. You should be the one asking yourself that stupid question you just asked me.” “I think I'm done with having this conversation with you and as you can see it's almost time for the meeting so I don't mind leaving here so that I can go ahead to prepare for the meeting coming up anytime soon.” Louisa chuckled at the sound of Precious's voice, “If at all you want to go for the meeting in a prepared state I'll advise you
“Do I have to place a bet with you before you know that I meant what I said in my words?” He stood up from the chair and looked her into her eyes. “It's only a coward that speaks like this and from the way you speak I can see that you are a coward.” “Louisa or whatever you are being addressed as I want you to know that I am not a coward like you. You don't have to behave like one before I know that you are a meaningless coward.” “Jason you don't have to go through the corners and change the narrative to why we are both having this discussion at all. If you know that you are not a coward then let's place a bet.” “You want us to place a bet?” He asked her one more time to seek her confirmation if she was being serious with him. Louisa eyed him from her head down to her toes, “Do you think I'm playing at all? Or, do I look like a joker to you? I don't like repeating my words at all but to show that I'm being serious with my words this is me telling you that let's place a bet to see
James leaned back on the chair trying so hard to picture what was going on in Lucas's mind, saying that he knew the best solution to eradicate the error he had caused. “See, Lucas, I'm tired of this constant silence coming out from you. Do you have anything meaningful to say or not?” James couldn't hold it anymore so he decided to ask him a simple question. “I was thinking of the solution in my mind and all honesty, I don't know how you would react to it that's the major reason I've been holding it back to myself.” Lucas finally admitted the major reason why he has been keeping quiet for too long. “Really? Is that all that you have to say right now? After I waited for over thirty minutes while you were being silent just to get this from you.” James reacted to his obnoxious excuse. “James, I'm trying so hard to protect our friendship and the solution I have in my head right now sounds trespassing.” Lucas cried out loud to him. “And, do you think I care if it will ruin our fri
“I can't argue with you anymore but everything you said in your words is nothing but the plain truth.” James felt it hard to give him his answer but finally, he let the words out of his mouth. “Now you see why I said that everything still matters with you as long as Mason is still making things difficult for us.” “But, I'm not really in support of the solution you have in mind, Lucas.” He cried out to him still trying to absorb everything that Lucas said to him. “What other possible solution do you think we can use to restrategize after all I've been the one bringing out ideas. So, how about I get to hear from you?” “Hear from me? Do you think I have a smart brain like you that you want me to keep bringing up ideas?” “Thank you for acknowledging the fact that I have a smart brain but you didn't acknowledge the fact that the idea I brought to you is smart enough for us to start working on it.” “Lucas, I think now is high time for you to leave my office.” he turned his chair bac
She gently placed her hands on his left chin and whispered into his ears, “What is the right time, and where is the right place we can have this conversation if not here?” “Rachel please I don't want us to start what we can't finish so I'd rather just send you a location so that we can take it up from there.” He retracted her hands back to her. “In that case then I can see that you are way too different from other guys and I don't mind waiting patiently for you until we get to know each other better.” she composed herself and smiled at him. “Alright! If you say so I'll catch up with you later.” he patted her at her back and headed over to get the exit door. “How was the conversation between you and your friend, James?” she threw the question at him when though Lucas was trying his best to avoid answering that type of question. “It went well, Racheal and I'm super glad that you asked about it. But, for now, I have an important thing to do at my office.” He opened the exit door
“Ouch! I think It's all twisted right now.” Louisa cleaned the blood coming out from her nose while she struggled to get up on her feet. Precious didn't even bother whether her shoe injured Louisa or not. What she was more concerned about was the fact that she had to be in the conference room before her boss Sir Micheal. She pushed the door open and was surprised to see everyone seated at their respective seat with their eyes focused on her. She felt uncomfortable at first but within her, she was searching for the next available seat to sit on. She scanned through the room and found an empty chair beside where Mason sat. She hurried straight up to sit on it before anyone tried to occupy that space for her. “Excuse me! Is anyone sitting down here or it's available for anyone to sit on.” She pulled the chair backwards waiting for Mason to give her the response she's been waiting for. “Hmmm….. You can sit on it there is no one sitting down on it,” he responded to her with his
Everyone in the conference room looked around as they heard Micheal instruct Mason to stand up. “What must he have done this time around? Is he about to lose his job or something for his incompetence?” Jason asked his colleague who sat closer to him. “I really can't say about that but from the look of things one can easily say that something is about to happen. Let's just sit down and watch out how everything will play out.” The colleague responded to him feeling so relaxed like never before. Mason stood up from his chair and faced his boss, “I'm up already Sir Micheal just as how you've instructed me.” “Thank you for honoring my words but while you are still up do you have any idea who you think might be the one that stole the file away from your desk where you kept it.” Mason looked at all his colleagues and their facial expressions, “Sir Micheal in all honesty I don't know the person I think might be able to do that to me. Everyone seated right here said that they don't know
Jason pulled him back after receiving the warm embrace that was presented to him by Mason, “Are you sure you are fine? Are you sure nothing happened to you?” He touched all the body of Mason to be sure nothing happened to him. “I'm doing okay, man. It feels so good to see you, Jason. I thought you wouldn't show up right here with me.” he hugged him one more time before relaxing the tightness of his body. “No way! Mason, there is no way I won't show up right here after everything I heard on that call. I'm more than excited to see that you are safe.” A warm smile erupted on his face,“Thank you, Jason. But, how were you able to locate my father's house I know that I've never for once brought you here before.”Jason smiled back at Mason and shook his head back and forth in agreement with what he said, “Well, I and Precious traced you one time when you left the office abruptly and that's how I was able to locate your father's mansion.”“What is happening over there? Mason, who are you
“This isn’t real!” Lucas was stunned as he heard the loud sound of the gun the moment the senior officer fired it directly at Alex.“I hope nothing happened to Alex.” James leaned closer to Lucas using him as a means to find his strength as he couldn’t get over the fact that a bullet just went through Alex's back.“Pick him up!” The senior officer yelled at the other officer standing close to where Alex lay on the floor.The young officer nodded his head in affirmation and without wasting much time pulled Alex up with his back being covered with blood as if he was drowning in a pool of blood.“What should I do to him, Sir?” the officer asked, looking bothered while waiting for the commander to give him a command so he could follow his lead.“Take him to the ambulance and have him handcuffed.” He darted his face over to Lucas and James who were shivering from the way they kept on leaning on each other.“I want you both to stretch forth your hands without any fuss.” His eyes were on the
Aunty Margaret groaned in pain as she lay on Andrew’s body trying so hard to protect him from getting hurt and being attacked by his oppressors. “Dad, are you okay? Aunty Margaret, can..can..you hear me?” Mason's eyes were gradually getting heavy with the tears he had been hoarding for far too long.Andrew managed to shove himself off Maragraet’s body while she was still lying on him, “Margaret, can you hear me at all?” He managed to ask with his weak voice.“I need to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. My leg feels heavy and I…can’t..feel..myself anymore.” She poured out her words in pain with her hands still holding the tip of her leg groaning out in loud pain of discomfort.“Fuck!” Mason gradually stood up from the floor and placed Aunty Margaret’s head over his Dad’s lap.He ran over as fast as his legs could carry him the moment his eyes caught Naomi as she was trying to plot her escape amidst the officers that were being surrounded in the room. Mason jumped over the
“What!!!” The gun that Alex had on his hands dropped to the floor in agitation. “Any words or actions you say or do will be used against you in the court of law. I want you to surrender yourself and walk through the door,” the senior officer said aloud.The security officers stayed in circles as they surrounded every corner of the living room, while some of the armed men stayed outside the mansion, protecting the wall corner so no one would escape. The loud sound of their siren echoed through the estate and some of the neighborhoods were curious to know what was happening behind closed doors. “But, we didn't do anything at all, Officer. You can't just bump into us and ask that we surrender to you.”James attacked the officer without feeling any remorse for his actions. The other officer cocked out his gun still putting on a straight face, “Young man, don't force me to pull this trigger on you. You heard what he said, right? So just do it and stop wasting our precious time.”“I'm so
Everyone in the room was startled the moment they heard the old cracky voice coming from behind. Both James who was about to pull the trigger on Mason and Lucas who was charging James up to pull the trigger slowly turned their head to see where the voices were coming from. “Yes! You heard what I said and the earlier you drop, down the gun and surrender yourself to the police the better for everyone.” Aunty Margaret's hands were shaking as she placed the phone right to their faces still maintaining a long distance away from them. “Who the hell are you? And, what exactly are you doing in here?” Alex faced her a dead stare walking closer to her with every pang of anger. “That shouldn't be the question you are many to ask at this crucial hour, Alex. You have less than five minutes to surrender yourself to the police unless..”“Unless what? You guys can't do anything at all. All that you all are known for is to keep on making empty promises and threats.” James gawked at her without any
“Why are you still raising an alarm? Common! Take my life, Alex.” Mason was bold enough to give him a swift response without feeling an iota of fear in him. He was ready to take the bull by the horns and face him one-on-one without feeling scared of how it would feel once he pulls the trigger. “I can see that you've grown so many balls, Mason.”Alex placed the pistol on his temple and kept on hitting it on his temple repeatedly.“Do your worst, Alex. You can't do anything to me just pull the trigger and let's end it once and for all.” He yelled at him with his heart panting and racing so fast. “I love the way you have so much balls in you.” He smiled at him and jerked him off his shoulder. “I don't give a fuck about you Alex. Do your worst and let's end it once and for all.”“Alex, why the hell are you trying to pity this bastard? Pull the trigger and let's get ourselves out of this place once and for all.” Lucas commanded him instructing him to take the lead. “Okay, boss. I'll do
Alex patiently waited for Andrew to say a word but the young man was still bold and courageous that he didn't even bother to flinch or utter anything at all. “I can see that you've grown so big that you are no longer scared about your life anymore.” Alex out of annoyance tightened his neck so hard. “You..can’t…do.. anything..to me.” He struggled to say a word but kept on persisting as he stuttered with his words. “Is this how stubborn you are? I can see that you are just as stubborn as your son.” Lucas moved over to where Alex stayed beside Andrew still holding onto the pistol. “Poor Mason! Won't you tell your father not to be stubborn and say his final words of prayer? You can see that I've been lenient to you and your dad.” He moved his face closer to him. A roar of laughter came out of Mason's mouth after hearing the words gradually coming out of Lucas's mouth. The loud laughter triggered Lucas to stand up from his squatted position and angrily grabbed Mason's neck so tight t
“What!” Lucas and Alex chorused together with shock all over their faces after hearing the truth coming out of her mouth. Mason waved his head over to his dad with a thousand and one question going through his mind, “Dad, can you hear what this young lady is saying? Is she truly my mother?”“Mason, you don't have to listen to everything that she is saying. Naomi is a blatant liar and I'm certain the major reason why she is in here is to cause destruction.” Andrew shoved his chair trying to come closer to where his son sat. “Really? Is that what you've been feeding my son with, Andrew?” She kicked her leg on his chair with anger gracing her voice. “How dare you lie to his face, Andrew? Why didn't you tell him that I've been there for you through thick and thin? Why are you causing so much harm and pain to this young boy?”“Pain?” Andrew chuckled out in euphoria. “If anyone should be talking about pain it should be me and not your stupid ass, Andrew.” She blurted out at him. “Dad,
The room suddenly went cold as everyone threw their gaze on the young lady whom Andrew had addressed as Naomi. The poor aged man cleaned his eyes by blinking it twice since his hands had been tied to the chair while rying to be sure that he wasn't dreaming at all. “Naomi, is that you? Are you the one?” He gave her this shocking expression while still trying to fight what he had just witnessed. “Dad, do you know her? Where do you know her from?” Mason blinked his eyes trying to understand the reason why his father was shocked to see the fair young lady standing at the entrance of the door without saying anything. "The last time I checked, Dad. I haven't seen you with a lady so who is she to you." he pressed further to know more. “Will you shut up your mouth, Mason?” Alex smacked his lips with his back hands instructing him to keep shut. Mason closed his eyes in regret, waiting and hoping for the time he would be free from this chair so he would be able to show Alex the type of man
