"Hmm....." James thought out loud with his eyes fixated on Anna even though she was turning her back behind him. Lucas waited for moments to hear him speak but there wasn't a response yet. All he could hear his breath inhaling and exhaling before he gave a total silence. "Are you still there, James?" Lucas asked him politely as he couldn't get to hear a response from him at all. "I can hear you, my man," James responded to him with a deep masculine voice. "But, you didn't utter any word to me at all. I'd love to know if I might have said something that didn't match your expectations.""Not at all, Lucas. You didn't say anything that razz to me. I was only being bothered about the fact that I'd have to leave Anna all by herself to come see you." he cleared the air feeling so bad at the decision he was about to take. "Oh! Are you still looking after Anna? I thought we had fully recovered." He asked him to act as if he had zero idea that Anna had been in the hospital. "Yes, Lucas.
Lucas went silent for a moment and observed his thoughts before saying anything further because he had already sensed that James wasn't happy about the way he spoke to him in such a manner. "Are you sure you are not pissed about what I said to you?" He asked him to be sure he hasn't crossed the line yet. "I'm not angry at all." He chuckled softly trying to hide the pan in his voice. "What makes you think I'm mad about you airing your own opinion? You only told me what exactly is in your mind and now it's left for me to accept it or not." James cleared the throat from his mind as soon as possible. Lucas breathed out loudly, "Alright! If you say so then I have nothing much to say.""Coming from someone who has a lot to say. Lucas, come on tell me who wants to sabotage our plans.""I thought you weren't interested in the conversation anymore. You know what, I think Anna needs you more right now than I do so you have to stand in for her.""I know she needs me but that doesn't stop me
Immediately Micheal got to the airport he sent a message to Lucas, "I'll be in your city soon. Do well to be expecting me?" he switched his phone into Airplane mode as soon as he boarded the plane.Lucas received the message with all enthusiasm as he dressed up and hurried down to the cafe where they both planned to see.After thirty minutes of flight, Micheal finally arrived at Lucas City and went straight to the cafe spot. Immediately he got to the cafe spot he sighted Lucas and quickly paid the driver before making his way inside.Micheal and Lucas sat at the café, sipping their coffee and engaged in a heated conversation. Their topic of discussion was Mason, who had been getting on their nerves lately."I can't believe he dared to keep attacking us, he is just a jerk.”"I know, right?" Lucas replied, his eyes rolling in exasperation. "And to think, he's always trying to act like he's some kind of expert. I just hate his guts, I hate everything about him. I just dislike him as a pe
Michael let go of the thought that the person there seemed familiar. What was more important was to get rid of Mason. Michael and Lucas sat in the dimly lit room, their faces illuminated only by the flickering flames of the fireplace. They sipped their whiskey, their eyes locked on each other as they finalized their plan."I can't believe we're doing this," Lucas said, his voice laced with a mix of excitement and nerves."We have to," Michael replied, his eyes blazing with determination. "Mason has to be taken down. He's a pain in our ass and he's ruining lives."Lucas nodded in agreement. "I know. I've lost count of how many people he's hurt, and how many lives he must have caused so much pain. He's a monster, Michael."Michael's face twisted in disgust. "And he thinks he's above the law, that he can do whatever he wants and get away with it."Lucas's eyes flashed with anger. "Well, we're going to show him that he's not above the law. We're going to bring him down, Michael. Together
Precious's eyes narrowed as she thought about Mason's supposed wealth. "But if Mason's father is a trillionaire, why is he living like a normal person? Why does he seem so... poor?"Jason shrugged. "That's what I've been wondering too. But I think I might have an idea. I've noticed that Mason sometimes borrows luxury items from his friends or acquaintances. Like that fancy watch he wore to the company last week? I heard some people mention that it belonged to a friend."Precious's eyes widened as the pieces clicked into place. "So you think he's pretending to be poor to hide his true identity?"Jason nodded. "It's possible. Maybe he's trying to keep a low profile or something. But it's weird, right? If his father is that wealthy, you'd think Mason would be living a more luxurious life."Precious's mind was racing with questions and theories. She couldn't believe that Mason had been hiding this secret from them. But why? And what else was he hiding? She was determined to get to the bott
Mason sped off with different thoughts racing through his mind of what he had received so far from Jason. He never knew that Micheal wanted his downfall this bad even though he has been taking it easy with him. "Who exactly could be the other person that Michael is teaming with to take the special person he loves so much." He asked himself passionately still trying to process all that he played when he received the recording from Jason. "I think it's time for me to unleash my other side so these riff rafs will know that I didn't come here to play at all. So, now they are planning to take me down not even for me. They are also planning to take my father down."He fired his car at a very fast speed the moment he remembered everything he heard from the voice recording that was sent to him. "Isn't it funny how Micheal lied with so much confidence about his sick sister or whatever person he told Louisa that is sick and they needed him present as soon as possible? Damn! If only Louisa kn
Mason saw the text on his phone when he arrived at the airport, and he smiled. He was just about to board the flight even though it was going to take him less than thirty minutes to go see them.Immediately he got to the city there was a car waiting for him there fully unlocked. He entered into the car and drove straight to the cafe. He arrived at the location and walked to the café where he found Precious and Jason conversing together.“Hey guys,” Mason greeted them as he walked closer.“What’s up?” He uttered as he noticed that there was some sort of tension between his friends.Just as he was about to ask again, Jason lunged from his seat and grabbed him by the collar.“Do you think we wouldn’t find out about your dirty trick, Mason” Jason had anger written all over his face and he looked like he would devour Mason any minute.“Calm down Jason.” Precious stood up from her seat, trying to pacify Jason but the lion in him had already been woken up. She knew he was justified and she
“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
