"I need to start going to work right now, Dad. You've given me a target already and I have to prove to you before it's too late that I will win your bet.” Mason picked up his car keys from the side table and started making his way to the down floor. “Will you be returning tonight? Or, your investigation will have a track load on you?” Andrew questioned him while tapping the keys on his keypad with so much attention. Mason roared in laughter, “Dad, I can't say for now but even though I end up not returning today you don't have to be sad at all not be all awake thinking about me because I have a place I call home.”Andrew closed his laptop and nodded his head after hearing the words of his son, “You've spoken like a true son of mine. Make sure you keep in touch with me so in case things go South I can always call my bodyguards to come pick you up.”“Thank you, Dad. Your act of service means so much time me but that doesn't mean that I have forgotten about the bet.” he climbed back to
Mason drove at a breakneck speed through the silence of the road. There was less traffic on the road and the busses were going at a low pace. Mason's mind was weighed with different thoughts of his earlier conversation with his father. He tried shrugging it off yet the thoughts kept crossing back his mind. “Where would have my dad found Micheal that he so much loves him as if his life depended on him?”He declined his thoughts and kept on speaking to his inner child, “Could this also be one of the tests that Andrew is using to test my smartness? I see no reason why I've brought him tangible evidence of what this supposed Micheal has done to loyal staffs and he is still not buying the idea.” he felt heartbroken as he remembered how his father treated him last night. Mason reached out to his playlist and started vibing to one of his favorite music just to clear the thoughts of what he had with his father. “It's just words, Mason. Don't let it get to you or distract you from digging
At the police station, the detectives who are in charge of Alex’s case opened the private room where they had kept Alex and brought out a chair for them to have their seats. “Mr.Alex, I know you are indeed surprised to see us in your private space but I and my senior colleagues came here so that we can rub our minds together with you.”Alex didn't utter a word as his head was faced down and his eyes were shut. The senior colleague cleared her throat and took the words out of her junior colleague's mouth as she tried addressing Alex. “Take a look around you, Alex. You will find out that no one in this place can hear our conversation apart from you and my colleague who is beside me to make my workflow seamless.” she paused for a while to hear Alex's response before proceeding with her words. Alex didn't still utter a word out of his mouth as he kept on giving them a deaf ear to their words. “Well, I believe that you can hear us so I'll continue with whatever I came here to say to yo
James sped off at a very high speed as he dropped Anna in his car. He couldn't stand and watch her slowly pass out so he channeled that energy to the steering of his wheel. “Anna! Anna! Anna!” He kept calling out her name so she wouldn't end up drowning in her unconsciousness. “I… I.. Can…” she coughed out her words softly trying her best to make a sentence with it yet to no avail. “Come on! Anna, please do this for me just one more time. I'm sure you know how much I love you so kindly take one moment to stay awake for me until we get to the hospital.” James's hearts kept on racing as he subtly pleaded with her. “I'm trying my best to be awake, James. But, I don't think I'll be able to endure this pain anymore.” She gave a deep sigh of relief murmuring out her words carefully. “Hey! Anna, please hang in there a little while we are almost at the hospital. You are one of the strongest people I’ve ever met and known so go ahead and prove it to me that you are what I said you are.”A
Mason stood up from the floor and tried standing on his feet as he spoke to Micheal with so much confidence, not a sign of fear in his voice. “Micheal, I've had enough of your attitude and how you make the less privileged feel less of themselves. What exactly is your problem? Why do you love creating chaos instead of promoting peace?” He shouted at him as he pointed his fingers on his face. “Will you get your stupid fingers off my eyes before you make me blind forever?” Micheal pushed his hands off his eyes in a rough way. He dragged his feet like a lazy ass young man as he stood side by side in the presence of Mason, “You barely know nothing about me and I'll love it if we both maintain that distance and be clear on our path. Thank goodness that you made use of the word privilege because tell me one good reason why the less privileged need to be heard or be given a breathing space.”“Go ahead and tell me why they shouldn't be treated like a fellow human being like us. Common, go a
“Micheal! Micheal! You are hurting him so hard. He might get injured before you know it.” Precious ran to the back of Micheal and tried pulling him and hitting him on his back so hard. Micheal pushed her away and kept on giving him different strokes of punches on Mason's body not minding where his hands might have landed. “What the hell has gotten into you, Micheal? Are you from the devil's home that you don't know when to put a stop to your madness?” Precious kept screaming at the top of her lungs to ease the madness that was going on in Michael's head. “Stay out of this, Precious. You have no business in what's happening unless you also want to lose your job. Weren't you there when he was wallowing his mouth in my family business and you think I'll sit there and watch him say all that without a few punches landing on his face? Never! I still need to teach this pig a big lesson that he will never forget.” Micheal went further by hitting and punching Mason so hard. “Urgh! You…. Ca
“What if I want to speak for him, Micheal? What if? You are just a loosed clueless dog that you don't even know the next line of action to take. Stick to your path and your devilish ways and allow the little boy to breathe.” Mason advised him with his deep masculine voice that kept on echoing into his ears as he spoke to him. “Hmmm! Can you perceive the stench odor coming out of your mouth?” Micheal dodged Mason's mouth which was centered around him. “That's none of your business, Micheal. You can insult me for all I care but if there is one thing I'm grateful today is for the fact that I was able to give you a partial beating of your life that you will never forget easily.” He dropped his two cents and grabbed Jason by his side with his left hand. “Jason, let's leave this place.” He pulled him to his side heading over to where he had parked his car abruptly so he could park it appropriately before heading over to his office. Micheal reached over to Jason's shoulder and pulled him
Mason fastened his seat belt for the second time and took a deep breath before placing his hands on the steering wheel. Jason whose eyes have been covered with an eye mask grumbled quietly, “Are you sure you truly want to do this? You can start by reconsidering before it becomes too late.”Mason turned deaf ears to his words as he released his gear on the drive and sped off. His main target was to crush Micheal's bone to the floor and he wasn't joking at all when he said that. Micheal who was seen earlier on groaning in pain and moving from one point to another quickly ran out of the driving lane the moment he saw Mason's car fast approaching him toward his direction. “Fuck! Why did you run away? You should have stayed there while I show you what I'm capable of doing you lazy and dumb ass weakling.” He pressed onto his brake so tight as he murmured out in pain. Jason quickly removed his eye mask as he felt the sharpness of the brake the moment Mason's legs tapped on it. “Jeez! Di
