James took over the wheel and sped off with Alex directing him as to where he should drive for them to get to Andrew's house before the day fully turns into dawn. They had already spent an hour and more just be driving on the road just to locate Andrew's apartment but it felt as if they weren't making any progress at all as James progressed. “Are you sure we are heading the right way?” James asked Alex who kept on peeping out of the window admiring the beautiful nature. “Of course, we are heading the right way.” He nodded his head without waving off his eyes off the beautiful trees that he kept on seeing. “But, it feels as if we aren't making any progress. Or, am I the one overthinking it because we've already spent close to an hour and we haven't arrived at our destination yet.” he pressed further with his conversation as he was not fully convinced that they are almost at the location. “I can't even say anything regarding the location because I can’t even remember the last time
Anna, Louisa and Michael laughed at Mason immediately he pronounced both Micheal and Louisa fired. They didn't even move an inch nor did9 they take his words seriously at the mention of his pronouncement. “Who do you think you are cracking these silly jokes for?” Louisa hissed at him as he shoulder clocked into his own the moment she passed beside him. “What silly jokes do you think I was cracking, Louisa?” His eyes were fixated on the three of them from the way they all lined closer to each other. “I said that you and your lover, Michael, are fired and I don't want to see any of you in this office at all, not near this company building.” Micheal waved his words away off his ears, “You must be joking, Mason. Do you think this is a dream or what?” He pinched his skin so tight and tapped on his flesh vigorously, “Does it look as if I'm dreaming . 6oss his face, “Mason, are you sure you are not feeding on your dreams? The last time I checked you were nobody who was given the opportu
"Who are they? Are you sure you are saying the right thing father?” He brought down the phone off his ears to be sure he wasn’t having a conversation with the wrong person. “Mason, you have to come to the house before they do something bad to me. I need your help right now.” The old man panicked through the call while he wrestles with his life. “Do something bad? Dad, they can't do anything to you. I want you to tell me their names so I won't hesitate to pull a call across to the police.” “Mason, I beg you don't involve the police. I.. I..” He coughed out feeling weak while he struggles to put his word together. Mason grew furious after his father didn't agree with him involving the police in a crucial situation like this and he was slowly getting pissed as to why his father doesn't want him to involve the security personnel. “Are you sure you are not pulling a prank on me? Dad, if this is not a prank, can you at least tell me why you don't want me to drag the police into
The young assistant feeling reassured by everything that Mason had said to her quickly ran on her feet to go tell the secretary and Precious who was recuperating from the whole experience. She bumped into the special office where Mason had told them to hide themselves so Louisa and her caucus wouldn't come looking for them anymore. Her heart was panting so loud and from the look on her face it felt as if she was feeling happy. “Why are you giving us that look?” The secretary who was attending to Precious questioned her. The young assistant smiled, “That's because I ran over Mason as he was about to leave the building and..”“Hold on a second!” Precious paused for a moment while struggling to raise her head off the secretary's lap. She continued giving the young assistant a worried face, “Where exactly did you say that you saw Mason again? Are you trying to tell me that Mason abandoned us here?” She coughed out groaning in pain. “Not at all, that's not what I'm trying to say, Prec
Mason cleansed the blood that was dripping out of his mouth after receiving a heavy punch from Alex. He has never for once imagined that a day like this would come where Alex whom he detested so much ever since he set his eyes on him would be the one treating him like a piece of trash. “Stand up!” Alex kicked him repeatedly, jacking him up from the floor aggressively. “And, what if I don't stand up what will you do?” Mason looked at him weekly as his eyes turned red fueling his anger to keep acting dismissive to his command. Alex was surprised at Mason's stubbornness he licked his lips giving a three-sixty-degree rotation as he swung his hands into action and gave Mason a heavy punch in his abdomen. “Do you want to still give me that conditional statement?” He bent down his face, poking it towards Mason's nose. “Please don't hurt my son anymore I beg of you.” Andrew groaned out, struggling to speak while asking for mercy from his son. “Shut up old man! I don't want you to get in
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
“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,
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
