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
“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
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
“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
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
In front of a group of people, a tall, young man in a janitor's outfit had his head bowed, looking to the floor. "Sir…" Suddenly, one of them grabbed his head and slammed it into the sink. "Argh…" He yelled out a cry but forced himself to stay silent, shuddering. "Make sure you scrub that restroom till it is spotless. After all, the only thing distinguishing you from it is the smell," Lucas taunted, triggering laughter from the group. Mason watched as they, one by one, left the restroom with style. After they had exited, he sighed. He brought his hands to touch his forehead and winced at the tender bump. Mason Vince remained silent, lifting his gaze from where he had collided with the sink. Mason was already used to all of this, enduring such treatment was nothing new to him. He had no right to fight back because Lucas was the accountant of WIMS Hotel, so he held a higher position than him and Mason might be sacked from his job. His phone began to vibrate, and as soon as he
She rolled her eyes, deliberately avoiding eye contact with him.But he continued staring at her and she gave him a firm, irritated look.He observed her actions and the expression on her face. Was he dreaming? Could he be mistaken? Was this truly his Anna?"Listen here, Mason, or whatever the hell your ugly name is, I want you to leave this room, or else..?" James warned."Or else what?" he blurted out, brimming with anger."Are you talking back at your boss?" James bellowed.Mason realized this and the furrow on his brow faded, let out a sigh, and looked away."So now you've got the nerve, huh? But honestly, tell me, Mason, how could you be so selfish as to believe that other men wouldn't be drawn to your beautiful girlfriend?" James jeered, his fingers grazing her cheeks.Mason's anger returned and tripled as he watched him touch her with such lustful gaze. He wanted to give him a dirty punch on his face but was barely holding back, his fists clenched tightly."Anna, is this truly
Mason forcefully pulled his hands away from the man's grip. Was he joking? Or was he mistaking him for someone else?He stared at the man, trying to place where he had seen that familiar face before, but his memory failed him."I still don't understand what you're saying. I'm just an orphan..." Mason trailed off, gazing deep into Andrew's eyes. Suddenly, a vivid memory from 20 years ago flashed through Mason's mind. The time he was kept inside the orphanage home.He recalled Andrew's promise to return and take him away. But the promise was never fulfilled as he never returned, leaving him with no choice but to stay in the orphanage. The memory rushed back, flashing in his head. Mason remembered how he had been dropped off near the gatekeeper's room, the confusion and tears when he was told that his father had passed away.Mason covered his mouth with trembling hands, tears welling up in his eyes. He scanned Andrew from head to toe, confirming that he was indeed the one.The only bi
