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
James' jaw dropped dead the moment Lucas instructed Jim to pick himself up and use the door. He wasn't expecting it not because the words he said to his friend sounded mean but at the same time because he didn’t feel as if Lucas would take it that far. He still sat his ass on the chair without moving an inch away from where he sat with a focused face. He adjusted his collar and dusted his sleeves, “Lucas, do you want me to leave?” He asked him one more time waiting for him to give him a confirmation before he went away. Lucas turned to the other side of the bed where he could face the wall and not see the sympathetic face of his friend. He didn't say a word at all the only thing James was able to hear was the sound of his breath.“Won’t you say anything again? If you want me to go then just say it one last time and I’ll pick myself up and use the exit door.”Lucas grunted for some minutes before giving him an indirect response, “If you want to go then just go and stop making it loo
Lucas wasn't even expecting James to throw that kind of question at him at all not because he was avoiding it but because he didn't want to start getting worried over certain issues. “Think about it, man. Do you think Micheal also doesn't want to track him down? Why do you think he was desperate to help you when the need arose? Huh?” James felt so relaxed asking him every tiny little detail that would make him reconsider his answers. “Do you want us to do it here?” Lucas asked him because at the moment he wasn't feeling it at all. James shrugged off his shoulder because he knew what Lucas was planning to do from the question he just asked him. He adjusted his ass forward and brought back his little back closer to make it a little bit closer so Lucas will be able to hear him. “My friend, I think it's best for us to just plan this whole thing ourselves and leave Micheal out of it. What do you think?” He said to him with a bright face not to make him feel less of himself after all t
It was already getting dark at Andrew's mansion as he sat tirelessly on the couch without giving a response to Aunty Margaret with his tired face focused on the tick tack of the clock. The clock made a funny sound as Andrew’s eyes couldn't remove his eyes of of what he was watching. “Sir, do you want me to get the water warm for you?” She bowed her head faced to the ground afraid to see through his eyes. “I don't want to do anything, Aunty Margaret. I just want to be here watching and waiting until everything slowly alligns.”“Alligns? What do you want to align? Huh? Don't you have everything figured out?” She looked at him feeling so suspicious about the word he said to explain his present situation.“Aunty Margaret, if only you know exactly what I've been through then you won't be telling me to take it easy at all.” He rolled his eyes tossing himself to the other side of the couch not ready to have a proper conversation with someone who couldn't understand his grieve. Aunty Marga
Mason grabbed the steering wheel immediately, the call hung up, and changed the gear before moving the car at a fast speed. He didn't even wait for the traffic light to turn green before he moved the car. He was careless about the traffic rules and regulations because the only thing that mattered to him at that point was to save Precious. She has endured and condoned their indifferences for far too long and it's only a wicked person will ignore her present state and act as if all is well. He fired on the car at a very fast speed not looking at whatever cars that were passing and coming from behind. The only thing that kept on playing in his head was how he was going to rescue her from whatever plans Louisa and Anna had against her.“Common man! Watch your wheels.” One of the drivers yelled at him because of the way he carelessly drove not minding the traffic rules.Mason didn’t pay attention to the words of the poor driver. The only thing playing in his mind was how many minutes lef
