What do you think about this chapter? Do you think Mason is too possessive? Thank you all for reading my work it means so much to me.
“Sir, everything that she is saying is all a lie and I can swear with my life that I have no idea about what she is talking about.”“Ahh! Alex are you the one saying this? Didn't you threaten me that if I didn't do it you'll kill my child? Or is that one a lie again?” She turned to Facebook him with tears dripping off her eyes. “I don't know what you are talking about, Seline. Why are you trying to play the pity card in here?”Mason looked at the both of them and turned to Alex, “Alex for the last time, is she saying the truth or the lie? Are you trying to tell all of us here that she only cooked up that story and nothing in it is a truth?”“Mason, come to think of it. I am only a security guard and my duty post doesn't pass the security house. So, what business do I have to do with a chef whose duty is to prepare meal for our boss?”“So, you are trying to tell all of us in here that you didn't do it, right?” He asked him one more time. Seline cut him short with her fingers pointing
James walked into the room where Anna was sleeping and tapped her on her shoulder, “Babe Babe!”She shrugged a bit, “What is the problem James?”He say beside her caressing her hair backwards, “There is nothing absolutely wrong but I want to inform you that I'll be going out soon.”“Babe, today is Friday you can't afford to go out. After all you are the CEO of your own company so why then are you bothered about going to the office today.” She cleansed her eyes with the back of her palm. “Yeah! I know that today is Friday but I still have to attend to the people working in my office. Today being Friday is our supervision day.” He tried explaining it to her like a five year old kid. She rolled on the bed out of frustration, “Urgggg!!!”“I know you want me to be by your side today and I also massage your back because of what happened to you earlier today but you don't have to bother about that I'll be back before you know it.”“That's exactly what you keep on saying, babe. I know that
“Won't you talk, Alex?” Mason kept on punching as he watched him spill out blood from his mouth. “Is this the best you can do?” Alex challenged him even though he was almost half dead“Don't you like your life, Alex? Do you want to end up your life just like this? How much were you even paid that you can't speak up?” One of the guards asked him with a sober voice. “That's none of your business Mr. I know it all.” Alex blasted him. “But come to think of it, Alex. What would happen to the money or the promises they gave you or said to you when you die?” Selene asked him. “How about you mind your own business and carry your own cross on your head?” Alex responded to her as he spat out the remaining blood from his mouth. Mason rolled his sleves and went ahead to grab a bottle of water gulping it down his throat.“Hey you!” He pointed his hands to his father personal guard. “Get me the iron. I want to show this mother fucker what a true son of his father is capable of doing.” He grab
“Start talking you little thwart,” Mason yelled at him. “It's… It was..” He coughed out blood with tears dripping from his eyes. “Common speak up. Do you think I have any more time to spare with you at all?” He popped the question at him. “I'll confess I promise but first if I need water to calm my breath.” “Water?” “Yes! I can't feel my breath at all. It seems like this iron dried up the little water that was left in me.” His hand was pointing to the bottle of water on the dining table. “You need water, right?” Mason went ahead to grab the bottle of water on the table. “Yes! Please, Mason, I need water. I know it as being foolish by addressing you like that but believe me when I tell you that I didn't mean to say those words to you at all.” “Well…. Save those little tears for when the cops show up.” He pushed the water to his chest and pulled a chair over to his butt. “Thank you very much, Mason.” Alex's hands shivered as he struggled to open the bottle of water. “Da
“Where do you want us to meet, Lucas?” James hopped into his car projecting the questions to him. “Do you have any fancy restaurant in mind that is cozy for the both of us?”“I have one but I don't know if you'll like it at all. It's not that far from where we are right now.”“Do you like it?” Lucas asked him while helping him to shut the door. “Why are you asking if I like it? Does it matter if I do like it or not?”“I just want to know if it's something you like at all.” “Why?”“You’ve started with this question time. Why can't you change for once Lucas?”Lucas chuckled a little bit, “Why do I have to change when I have you right here with me?”James hopped into his car and lowered it a bit, “So, are you in or out?”Lucas leaned on James' car window, “I should be the one asking you if you are in or not.”“You don't have to ask me anything at all. After all, you are the one who suggested that we should meet at a place and you have something to tell me.” James raised his eyebrows a
“Guard shut the damn door and order everyone to come inside immediately,” Mason ordered the guards after watching the dismissal of Selene and Alex. “Alright boss I’ll do just that.” The personal guard for Andrew shut the door and ordered everyone to move to the sitting room based on Mason’s command. Some of the maids and servants of Andrew grumbled a little while dragging their feet to meet at the sitting room where Mason stood. “Sir, they are all here.” The guard stretched out his hands and presented all the maids and servants working for his father as they lined up according to their heights. Mason who was still trying to process everything he just heard dragged the dining chair and sat on it with his feet stomping on the ground. The servants and Maids of his father moved their eyes according to every movement and action he took. After so many minutes of silence he sat upright and cleared his throat, “I know you all just witnessed all that just happened right now between Selen
“Yes, son! And, for Alex, I’ve ever known him to be greedy and covetous but I kept keeping a close tab on him seeing that if he stops working for me he’ll remain jobless but I had no idea that he was secretly plotting my downfall.” “Father, everyone knows that you’ve always found your way around people and that’s why you keep helping them despite your instinct telling you otherwise.” “My Son, what would you have me do? Do you want me to be relaxed knowing fully well that I can be of help to this particular person who needs me.” “I understand everything you are trying to portray to me but father these people don’t care about you at all.” “No! Mason, not everyone is like the person you thought they were. There are still some good eggs amidst the bad eggs.” “But Father you can’t read their heart at all. Some people are wicked and cold-hearted in their black hearts.” “I understand everything you are trying to say son but sometimes you have to consider some people's feelings.” “Real
Lucas chuckled for some seconds, “Are you sure you are ready to hear the hot tea I’m about to spill out.”“Do you think I came here to play at all? I’m forever ready to hear whatever you want to tell me.”“James, how about we wait for some minutes and let’s eat so when we are done eating then I can start by telling you the gist and everything that happened?”James moved his lips around his mouth and thought about the suggestion that Lucas gave him and nodded his head in disagreement, “No! Lucas, I’m not in support of that one. What exactly do you want to tell me about that is too heavy for you to spill out?”“James, even you that is sitting here by the time you hear what I’m about to say to you, you’ll also be in shock.”“Then, tell me man, and stop keeping me in silence for too long.” James who wasn't finding it funny anymore with the hanky panicky game yelled at him. Lucas looked and whispered to James, “Calm down bro. You don't deserve to be raising your voice at me in an environm
