Mason felt agitated by his father's question. He didn't know that the scars and marks on his skin were quite obvious to be seen by his father. He rolled down his sleeves and acted all cool as if he had zero idea of what his father was talking about. "Dad, what scars are you talking about? As far as I'm concerned I can't find any scars on my body?" He lied to his face without a fuss or any sense of remorse. "Mason, let's not do this back and forth thing right now. I'm your father and you can feel safe opening up to me, who knows whether I might be of help to you."Mason tightened his hands on the chair, "Father,let's not even go there at all. When I needed you the most you didn't show up and now you are here acting and telling me to be safe with you." He burst out a sinister laugh one that could predict a sense of mockery. "Mason! When exactly haven't I been of help to you? When I found out that you are the heir of my dynasty I made sure that I bless you with everything that will ma
After placing a call and forwarding her number to Anna's private messenger app. She stood in the hallway where no one else could see her and sat on the chair available right there. She placed her hands on her face and thought about her life for a moment. She still couldn't wrap her head around all that she had just witnessed from Anna acting as if she didn't plan everything with her to James being mad at the woman he told us he loves. "Could it be that they are in an arranged marriage?" She shook her head and scoffed out loud still in shock about all that her eyes had witnessed from the couples. She stood up from the chair and walked up to the stairs thinking out loud while still processing how she would spend the money she would be receiving from Anna. "Who knows maybe one of them is using the other spouse for benefits. They might be playing a dangerous game between themselves but I hope it won't be too late before they realize their mistakes." She spoke to her inner child as if
Anna was stunned and beyond shock to hear the words from the nurse's mouth. She was never expecting her to use that on her not even as her weakness. Anna rumbled back her words and corporated herself in the best way that wouldn't make her regret her action. “Come again? What did you say? Are you serious about what you meant?” She dropped her bags on the floor and staggered. “You heard me clear. I'm sure you are not deaf not to have heard my words loud and clear.” She eyed her and braced herself with so much aura in her voice and appearance. “Do you mean what you said?” Anna asked her one more time to be sure she wasn't hallucinating. “I meant every single thing that comes out of my mouth, Anna. If you think you are the only one that has power then I'll show you that I also have the power to bring you down.”While they were having their altercation two nurses passed them and they noticed the disagreement between Anna and the nurse that was assigned to her. Immediately Anna notice
The nurse stood at her elevator with her phone still on her hand as her lips felt heavy for her to speak. For a very long time she hasn't seen that kind of figures in her life and at the same time she didn't want to accept extra money from Anna after everything she has said to her. Her jaw was dropped dead with her eyes still staring at her account balance. “I don't want to accept this extra money from Anna. Now, I feel stupid and a feeling of regret keeps racing in my heart for committing to do that silly job for her.” She grumbled with her hands banging on the painted wall. “Who told you that you feel stupid?” One of her colleagues who eaves dropped in her conversation came in front of her with her big body. “Excuse you?” The nurse looked at her face with a questioned look as her hands slipped down her phone into her pocket. She paused for a while to arrange her dress and place a perfect smile on her face before continuing with her speech. “Who are you to ask me that dumb ques
The driver didn't say a word to her. All he did was focus more on where he was heading and her destination. He regretted why he ever asked about her welfare and was more concerned about her well-being even though he knew her character was awful. He channeled his anger to his steering wheel and fired his speed not minding the cars passing by. Anna was shocked to see how fast the car was moving. She could only see the swiftness of the vehicle and the heavy breeze blowing through her face. “Hey! Mr. Driver, what exactly is going on? Why is the car moving so fast?” She yelled at him tapping his hands from the back. The driver acted dumb and ignored the fact that she was talking to him. He kept a sharp stare and was more focused on the path that led to her destination. Anna's eyes popped out in fear with her heart racing so fast, “Won't you reduce your speed, Mr. Man?” She dragged him from the back and held him so tight. The driver ignored her rants and kept a strong face with his l
James sat back on the bed hearing the countless bangs that had been done by Anna from behind the door. He picked up the bottle of wine that was placed by the side of the bed and poured some into his mouth, grinning his teeth together at the harshness of the wine that ran through his teeth.“James, for how long do you think you will keep on avoiding me? You can’t be mute forever I need you to say something and stop starving me in silence.” She cried out to him feeling so weak and helpless at the same time.“Where did my ever-loving and charming man go to? Where is the man that I gave all my heart and world to promising to build a Roman empire with him? Where is the man that I connected with easily when my eyes met him for the first time?” She said all that to him reminiscing the good and bad memories that they both shared.Hearing the words that had just come out of her mouth James gulped down the bottle of wine at once and hurried to open the door angrily.He unlocked the door and the
James looked at her with a conviction that she was ready to act as her true self and stick to the words she had just said to him. He looked at her with mercy and all he could see was the one woman that has captured his heart totally and genuinely.“Are you sure you are ready to be yourself? Are you promising me that you meant everything that you said to me?” He gently removed her face away from his chest and stared into her eyes one more time.“Yes, babe! I don’t want us to keep fighting over little things that can be easily overlooked. We don’t have to be throwing jabs and tantrums all the time over nothing.” She assured him with every word that came out of her mouth.“I love you so much, Anna. I’m super grateful that you’ve finally realized that your mum is against your happiness.”“I don’t think she was against my happiness though. I just think she…”“You think what? Are you trying to have this back-and-forth shit with me after you just said that you are so grateful for me reveali
At Andrew's Mansion everywhere was filled up with love as both Mason and Andrew tried bringing back the memories they both shared when he found out that Andrew was his father. The way he hugged him tight and held onto his shirt for so long. “Can you now leave me alone or do you want to hug me down forever?” His father said to him in his ears while Mason was glued to his body with the tightness of the hug. “Don't you love the way I'm hugging you dad? At least you should be happy that my hands are widely stretched for you to fill in the space?” he teased his dad jokingly. “I never said that I didn't enjoy the hugs I get from you but I just feel like it's too much for me to handle. So, please big man kindly remove yourself off my body.” He pleaded with him without sounding so serious at all. “Since you've pleaded with me and you have gotten enough of my hug I'll retract myself away from you without further hesitation.” He said to him gently releasing himself from the tightness of his
