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
The following day as early as possible, Mason walked into the office, his eyes fixed on the floor, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone. He noticed Louisa and Michael, his boss, engaged in a hushed conversation, but he attempted to ignore them, walking past with a deliberate air of indifference.Louisa, however, wouldn't let him off the hook. She flashed her mischievous grin and called out, "Hey, Mason! How can you just walk past us without saying hello, especially when your boss is here?"Mason kept moving, pretending he hadn't heard her. But Louisa's words hung in the air, and Michael's voice boomed out, "Mason, get back here! Now!"Mason's heart sank, but he turned around, his expression neutral. "Yes, sir?"Michael's face was red with annoyance. "What's wrong with you, Mason? Can't even be bothered to greet your colleagues?"Louisa chimed in, her tone dripping with sweetness. "Yeah, Mason, we're starting to think you're avoiding us."Mason shrugged, his eyes darting between the
Precious grasped Mason's arm, her voice softening. "Mason, calm down. There's no point arguing with them. They've made up their minds."Mason's face twisted in anger, but Precious's words slowly sank in.Just then, Louisa sauntered in, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Precious, darling, you're next. But don't worry, I'll make sure you go down gently...because I love y…"Precious scoffed, not even allowing Louisa to finish her statement.Precious's eyes flashed with anger. "Don't claim to love me, Louisa. You're just heartless, dark, and inconsiderate."Louisa's smile grew wider. "Oh, Precious. You wound me."Precious's voice rose. "You're wicked, Louisa. And you'll pay for what you've done."Louisa's laughter echoed through the room. "At least I'm not following a loser like Mason here." She gestured to Mason, her eyes mocking.Mason's face reddened, but Precious stood her ground. "You're just jealous, Louisa. Jealous of our integrity, our compassion."Louisa's laughter grew lou
The imposing man's presence was like a cold wind, sweeping through the room and commanding attention. His piercing gaze scanned the scene before him, taking in the fighters, the onlookers, and the chaos."Enough," he growled, his deep voice like thunder.Mason and Michael froze, their fists still clenched, their faces still twisted in anger.The staff members' murmurs grew louder, their whispers spreading like wildfire."Who is that?" someone whispered."The mysterious man," another staff member replied, her voice full of awe."How did he know what was going on?" someone else asked."I don't know, but he's not happy," another staff member replied, her eyes fixed on The mysterious man's stern face.The mysterious man's gaze swept the room, his eyes lingering on each face before moving on to the next."I want to know who started this," he growled, his voice dripping with authority.Mason and Michael exchanged a wary glance, neither of them willing to speak up."I did," Precious said fin
Michael's eyes flashed with defiance. "I don't care. I won't apologize for something I didn't do."Fredrick's voice rose, his words dripping with venom. "You'll regret this, Michael. You'll regret the day you crossed me."Fredrick's smile was cold, calculated. "We'll see about that. You have one minute to change your mind. If you don't, you're fired."Michael's eyes didn't waver, his jaw set in determination. "I won't do it, it's a shame."Fredrick's eyes narrowed, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Fine. You're finished. You're done. You'll never work in this industry again."The air was thick with tension, the silence between them like a living thing.Michael's eyes flashed with anger, his voice rising. "You can't do that! You can't ruin me!"Fredrick's smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with triumph. "Oh, but I can. And I will."Michael's feet dragged as he made his way to Mason, his eyes fixed on the floor. He had to apologize to keep his job."Ah, Mason," he muttered, his voice b
