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
Andrew stepped into the dimly lit prison visitation room, his eyes scanning the space until they landed on Alex, who was seated behind the glass partition, a smirk etched on his face."So, you're back to beg me," Alex said, his voice dripping with amusement, as he leaned back in his chair.Andrew's jaw clenched, but he maintained his composure. "I'm here to make a deal with you, Alex. Tell me who sent you to poison me, and I'll pay you a hundred billion dollars just like I have promised you."Alex's laughter echoed through the room, a cold, mirthless sound. "You think I need your money, Andrew? I'm exactly where I want to be."Andrew's eyes narrowed. "Don't play games with me, Alex. I know you're not as content as you seem. You're rotting in here, and I'm offering you a way out."Alex's grin widened. "You think I'm afraid of you? I've seen the darkest corners of human nature, Andrew. Your threats mean nothing to me."Andrew's voice took on a persuasive tone. "I'm not threatening you,
Andrew stormed out of the prison, determined to catch up to Alex and Lucas. He spotted them across the parking lot, getting into a sleek black car."Wait!" Andrew shouted, running towards them. "You're not going anywhere until I get some answers!"Lucas turned a smirk on his face. "And what answers might those be, Andrew?""Who sent him to poison me?" Andrew demanded, his eyes locked on Alex.Alex sneered. "You'll never know."Andrew's anger boiled over. "I'll find out, even if I have to take you down myself."Lucas stepped forward, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I don't think so, Andrew. You see, Alex here has immunity. He's not going to tell you anything."Andrew's eyes narrowed. "Immunity? What are you talking about?"Lucas smiled. "Let's just say Alex has friends in high places. He's not going to betray them, no matter what you do."Andrew's boldness grew. "I'll find out who those friends are, and I'll take them down too."The standoff continued, with neither side willing to b
Mason was walking back and forth outside of the police station; Alex had been released from prison by that good-for-nothing man, Lucas, and Mason did not feel comfortable at all.Mason’s dad, Mr. Andrew, stood close to him; the man watched Mason fidget nervously. ‘’Mason, what seems to be the problem?” he asked, his tone soft and comforting.Mason was scared and at the same time angry He stopped pacing there and then and stared directly at his father. ‘Hey did you see that guy who bailed Alex out,’ he wondered.Mr. Andrew frowned. ‘’Do you mean Lucas? Yes, I saw him. Why?’’Mason's breath quickened. ”Lucas … I know him. He was the one who tried to kill me. He strangled me once. I never told you because I didn’t feel safe but now he’s back, and he’s helping Alex Then.Mr. Andrew's face paled. ‘But who is this man that you would talk to him this way?’, ‘Are you sure it is the same person?’Mason nodded vigorously. “I’m sure,” replied Mason confidently, his eyes never leaving the door th
Lucas just made a fairly acute turn and he managed to avoid the truck. “Don’t worry! I have it under control,” I blurted something out, more to make it look like I was in charge by stomping on the accelerator.”Handling it?” Alex’s voice cracked. “I can tell you, we are seething just a few inches away from a catastrophe.”Oh, we are almost there! Believe me!’ Lucas said with increasing excitement.Alex nodded his head from left to right, his mouth was open, and his eyes bulged with fear. ”Can I trust you? Have you lost your mind? There is no way I am dying today.”“We have no choice,” Lucas said, breathing heavily but his words firmly stated. ’Don’t look up!” or better yet, ‘Just keep your head down!’Thus, Alex’s fear grew to its highest level when Lucas sharply turned the wheel to ram a passerby. ‘‘Are you crazy or what, Lucas? We are going to get ourselves both killed!’’ I couldn’t believe we were embarking on such a dangerous mission.Lucas tried to laugh and it came out, weak and
The officer made sure to comply to the words of Mason who instructed him to ensure that is father was safe. He instructed Andrew to hop into the car immediately Mason zoomed off. “Sir, I need to take you to your house. I'm sure you heard what your son asked me to do for you. He instructed that I… .”“That you what? I won't move an inch unless I get to see my son come back to me so spare me the words of concern.” He cut him short,scoffed at him and threw his face to the other side. “Sir Andrew, I don't want to be rude to you and at the same time I don't want to disappoint the words of your son. He instructed that I drive you home. Please, Sir Andrew allow me to do exactly what your son asked me to do.” “Officer Ben, kindly return back to your duty post. I'm safe right here and if I don't see my son by dawn I'll drive back home myself.” he responded to the officer politely by not trying to sound domineering. The officer nodded his head and walked to the front trying to return back t
