Precious didn't say a word anymore as her hands kept pointing towards Louisa, signaling to her to get her a bottle of water as her cough kept increasing at a fast speed. Her hands clung tightly to her chest as she couldn't control nor hold back her cough. Her eyes were rolling with her hands stretched out as one seeking help before she passed out. Anna scanned her from her head down to her toes to be sure she wasn't faking it just to be given the attention she was greatly seeking. She snapped her fingers at Louisa summoning her to come stand closer to her, “Hey! Come over here.” She called her out until she was standing very close to her before she gave her the order. she paused for a while trying so hard to catch up with her breath, placing her hands on her waist before speaking, “Louisa, do you think she is faking all of this?” She asked her out of curiosity. Louisa's hands were beginning to vibrate as she sighted Anna and the way her endless cough kept on increasing she was st
Anna and Louisa kept a long face at Louisa waiting fir her to say a thing or two that will trigger Mason so he will be able to catch up with them. They both waited for her to catch up with her breathe before doubling down the question.“Can’t you speak up? Do you think I have the whole day to spare?” Anna pulled her from her hair and dragged it so hard until she could hear the loud shout that came out of Precious mouth.Mason peddled down the brake so hard not minding the cars that were driving behind him. He pressed the phone closer to his mouth with his heart panting so hard.He was eager and curious to know what exactly what’s going on from Precious end, “Precious, who is threatening you? What exactly is going on? Who are the people attacking you?” “Mason, please hurry up and come to the office as soon as possible. I’m tired and I can’t stand the pain anymore. Anna and Louisa are making life unbearable for me.” She took a pause to cough out, her nose was dripping out some mucus th
Mason's hands were shaking hearing the seriousness and the threats that came out of Anna’s mouth. For a thought, he didn’t want to take her words seriously but giving it a second thought he knows the woman he once dated. The woman who didn’t give it a second thought before she dumped him for someone far better than him. The one he caught sleeping with another man and when she saw him she didn’t feel any remorse at all.“Fuck! What excatly have I gotten myself into?” he questioned himself as his hands kept beating him up in a way that he could feel the hardness of his fist on his chest.“Why does Precious have to go through all of these because of me? Why? Shit!” He hated himself more the moment he reminisced on how Precious was crying out loud for help.“I think I’ll have to call, Jason. I don’t think I’ll be able to meet up with the suggested time they’ve given me.” The thought of Jason crossed his mind.He pulled out his phone and started dialing Jason’s number while his hands were
Mason was feeling devastated at this point. He didn’t even know what to do or the right response to give Jason. He was hearing different voices and different thoughts going through his mind, he couldn't picture what was happening to Precious.“Mason, are you still there?” Jason retorted back his question to be sure he wasn’t talking to a ghost or an inanimate object.He knew Mason had a lot going through his mind not even after what they just witnessed in the city they last visited. He was on the verge of encouraging Mason to brace up not until he heard the voice filled with different emotions break through.“I’m right here with you, Jason. Since there isn’t much for you to say I think I should end this call and focus on how I can provide a solution.” He responded to him weakly with a heavy heart and strings of emotions.“What do you plan on doing, Mason? I wish I could at least help you in any way but I’m stuck in here with no exit plan in mind.”“Jason, I deeply know that you truly
Andrew was disappointed by all that just happened within the short period he had to spend with his son. He felt so bad by the way Mason hadn't been so close to him and how the bond they once shared had started fading. He knew he had tried his best by ensuring to give him the best but at the same time, it all feels as if his best wasn't enough for Mason to reconsider him when making certain decisions. “Could it be because I abandoned him for so long? When he needed my help the most? Could it also be because I didn't care about him when he went about hustling and fighting for his daily bread?” he thought to himself as the phone slipped away from his hand gently.It wasn’t his plan and intention to abandon his son, whom he knew that he is the only true heir of his company and asset. He also didn’t want it to be as if he was fighting for closure between him and his son. Now, that he has him at hand and has made life easier for him the only thing left for him to do is to be there for his
The weather started changing all of a sudden as Mason was stuck in the traffic. He knows that he is the only one that has the right and potential to save Precious and he doesn't want to jeopardize that for nothing else. The traffic was pretty intense and long that the only sound that was being heard in the lane filled with cars of different brands was the sound of their horn. Nobody wants the rain to catch up with them while they are still in the traffic so everyone kept struggling just to get a pass way ahead. “Fuck! Can you at least stay in your damn lane and stop entering mine?” He whined his car window and yelled at the car in front of him. “Go tell that to your sick mother.” The owner of the car responded to him with his hands out showing Mason the fuck sign. “What! Who the hell are you to speak to me in that manner? You know that you are wrong for entering into my lane and here you are bashing at me.”The driver drove his car to the side of Mason’s car, “Save yourself the s
Meanwhile back at the hospital James was feeling restless after the whole issue he just witnessed from the nurse and how the security guard threw him out of the hospital without even being considerate about his race or what power he holds in the city.His eyes were clocked in on the wall clock that was ticking slowly while he wait in anticipation for when the doctor or nurse will issue him to go see his friend, Lucas.It’s been over two hours he spoke to Anna and from the way their conversation ended it felt as if she had a lot to say but the network disconnected it even before he could say a word.Her name crossed his mind one more time and he had no other choice than to give her a phone call just to be sure she wasn’t in danger.He brought out his phone and dialled out her number with his eyes focused on the screen as he watched it ring out loud.Ring! Ring!The phone kept on ringing but she didn’t pick up at the first call he gave her. He was astonished by her delay in not picking
It was in the evening yet the sun was shiny so bright as if it was in the afternoon. James was still at the hospital at the exit door where he went out to receive a private call so there wouldn't be any traces of anyone hearing his conversation with Anna. He still couldn't believe the voice he heard in the background where Anna received the call. He still doesn't believe he heard correctly because who could that voice be? “Is Anna harboring someone that I'm not aware of?” He asked himself thinking across different thoughts wavering into his mind. He shook his head in disbelief, trying to wave off all the negative thoughts he had in his mind about Anna's actions. “No! Anna doesn't have the mind to do that to me. After everything we've been through she still doesn't trust me enough to keep information away from me.” He bit his index finger, pacing around from one junction to another as he tried to understand what Anna might be cooking up against me. He snapped his fingers into the
