“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.

    “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.

    Mason hurried downstairs and picked up the car keys on the table where it was to make his way outside. “Excuse me, sir! I can see that you are about to step out and this is not about me stepping my boundaries but I'd love to know if Mr. Andrew needs anything at all so that I can go serve him.” Aunty Margaret stopped Mason to question him. “Uhmm…Not really. My father doesn't need anything at all. All that he needs right now is nothing but rest. Am I clear at all?” “Alright sir. I'll make sure that we keep a close eye on him so that no one will harm him.” She assured him with a slight and tender Pat on his chin. “Thank you very much, Aunty Margaret. And, yes I'm about stepping out and I don't know for how long I'll get outside.” “Just make sure you stay safe and return home in your right shape.” She warned him with her sober words while taking her leave to head back to her duty post. Mason came back to the sitting room and them all, “Everyone I want you all to come to the sitt

    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?

    “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

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.

    “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

    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.

    “Why are you still raising an alarm? Common! Take my life, Alex.” Mason was bold enough to give him a swift response without feeling an iota of fear in him. He was ready to take the bull by the horns and face him one-on-one without feeling scared of how it would feel once he pulls the trigger. “I can see that you've grown so many balls, Mason.”Alex placed the pistol on his temple and kept on hitting it on his temple repeatedly.“Do your worst, Alex. You can't do anything to me just pull the trigger and let's end it once and for all.” He yelled at him with his heart panting and racing so fast. “I love the way you have so much balls in you.” He smiled at him and jerked him off his shoulder. “I don't give a fuck about you Alex. Do your worst and let's end it once and for all.”“Alex, why the hell are you trying to pity this bastard? Pull the trigger and let's get ourselves out of this place once and for all.” Lucas commanded him instructing him to take the lead. “Okay, boss. I'll do

    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

    “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,

    He Is My Son

    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
