Samantha was in her office when a notification sounded on her phone. She was preparing herself to meet William Carter to discuss the partnership of the two companies.
Tapping the screen lock, it was a video from Sandra, one of her good friends."What could Sandra be sending me?" She murmured."Maybe some town gossip." She said, unlocking her phone and tapping on the video.A man appeared, covered in blood as he carried a woman in his arms intimately as he rushed to what seemed to be the entrance of a hospital.Samantha watched the video, wondering why Sandra would send her a video of a random man on the streets. That's until she read the message that came with the video clip."Didn't know your scum of a husband has a mistress while married to you."Samantha could feel her blood boil at the message, clicking the video again, she watched it.Indeed, the man in the video was none other than her good for nothing husband.She couldn't believe he could dare cheat on her with a random woman on the Streets.Although they didn't love each other, they were still married.It would be embarrassing to her as a lady if a word got out about her husband's infidelity.He had already tarnished her reputation by being a lowlife. What would others think when they knew that as a lady, she could not control her husband.That had to be the most humiliating thing for a woman of her status to bear."How dare you cheat on me, you scumbag! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget." She swore.Picking up her phone, she dialled the number of William, excusing herself from their meeting and promising him to see each other at dinner."I'm going to settle the matters between me and my useless husband today so we can be together." She said.Actually, Samantha was aware of William's character, who didn't know in the whole of Carlifonia. He's known to be abusive and a womaniser.She didn't mind that though, as long as she could get the title of Mrs Carter and have countless dollars in her account, that was nothing.Just like her mother, she believed that being poor was like a plague. Only with money could she buy happiness.She had just hung up and was walking to the door when her phone rang, an incoming call from her mother.Accepting the call, she listened to her mother rant about her husband's infidelity."Don't I always tell you to divorce that useless piece of trash? Just look at what he just did to you. You are his legal wife even if you two don't get along well. He has no right to keep a mistress talk less of being seen acting lovey dovey in the streets. Tell me, didn't you leave with him in the morning? How did he end up alone?" The woman ranted.You could already tell that she was fuming mad."Mom, you ask too many questions. Which one do you want me to answer first?" Samantha replied, annoyance evident from her tone of voice."Come back home, I already called the family lawyer. We are going to file for divorce right now. I can't allow my precious daughter to remain married to such scum of a man." Susan said, immediately disconnecting the phone before Samantha could say anything.Actually, Samantha could already tell that her mother was happy that at last, they found a reason to chase her husband out of the family without having to lose the inheritance left behind by her grandfather.She was also thinking the same.Mason's scandal came as a blessing in disguise, of course that did not mean she would let him go so easily without teaching him a lesson.She walked to her car before leaving for the Hutton family house. Meanwhile Mason treaked all the way home. He was tired and all sweaty when he approached the Hutton's family gate.It was barely past noon when he arrived, having walked for three hours.He couldn't control the smile that graced his face. He was finally home and would be able to rest and at least have a glass of water. If his Mother-in-law wasn't around, he could be lucky to land himself a few slices of bread before he starts his daily chores.He had contemplated on what happened at the hospital and decided to leave everything behind.He was about to step inside the house when he saw his bag and a few of his clothes lying all over the ground.He bent down to collect his stuff when he was smacked on the head with another bundle which he believed to be more of his belongings."Look who decided to show up after having a great time with his mistress." Susan, Samantha's Mother-in-law spat with disgust, her words surprising Mason." Mistress? What mistress?" Mason inquired, clueless.Of Course everyone thought that he was feigning ignorance."What are you pretending about? Do you think we will believe you? The news is already all over the media and you dare deny it?" Samantha hollered furiously, their words confusing Mason even more."What are you talking about Samantha? I don't have a mistress. I barely step out of the house so how can I have a mistress?" He asked, seeking clarification.Taking out her phone, Samantha played the same video sent by Sandra to Mason who watched it with horror filled eyes."I can explain, Samantha, it's not what you think." Mason desperately tried to explain. He knew that they had misunderstood him and hoped that they would give him a chance to explain."Explain hah!" Samantha sneered, eyeing Mason with contempt." Do you think I care about who you go fu**ing? Sign the divorce papers and get the hell out of my sight before I do something terrible to you." She spat, throwing him a stack of papers with the word divorce agreement written in bold.As he walked down the pathway leading to the gate and out of the Huttons family gate, Mason was still in disbelief that Samantha could actually accuse him, ask the guards to heat him and throw him out of the house after forcing him to sign the divorce papers. As he limped away, he could not control the scoff that left his mouth."Mason oh Mason, look at your pathetic self. Even you cannot defend yourself in front of your wife." He belittled himself."No, she's actually my ex-wife! I am now a divorced man." He chuckled bitterly.It had been three years. Three years of him suffering in the hands of the Huttons.In those three years, he had lived a life worse than a dog's. At Least a dog gets to be fed by its owner and sleep in a good house. He on the other hand would only eat after he has worked for it. He could also count the number of times he would get a decent sleep without finding his bed drenched or forced to stay outside the house.Those three years have taught him that in thi
The memories of how he came here to Carlifonia to have a peaceful talk with their rival group only to have them ambush him on his way back.The snake tattoo identified their rival group. Seeing the tattoo stimulated him to have his memories back.He recognized himself as the rumored devil in the underworld, the leader of the wolves, a powerful and formidable Mafia group from Washington DC.He remembered his lovely younger sister, the same lady he had saved in the morning.The old man in the hospital turned out to be the old Butler of the Smith family and his grandfather's right hand man.Mason saw red, his anger building up to uncontrollable heights.He was the Most feared leader of the wolves, the devil so how could he allow others to sacrifice their lives to save him.With a new surge of energy, he moved. Like an arrow, he shot up high, landing next to the approaching assassins.In less than two minutes, there was not even a single assassin standing.His men watched in awe as their
Mason was known to be ruthless and cold-hearted except to his sister Sophie. Despite her clingy behaviour, he loved and adored her so much. Only she and his grandfather knew about this gentle side of him.His parents died when Sophia was young so she leaned more on him as she grew up.He was sixteen years old when their parents died. Although his grandfather lied to him about the cause of their death, Mason was not stupid enough not to realise that one of his uncles was actually responsible.The old man didn't want the hatred and revenge to cloud his senses so he hid the truth from him.He did his investigation when he took over his family's business and identified the culprit.He didn't want his grandfather worrying about him with his poor health so let them be. Not like he would forever do, he would wait until the old man was no more so that he could avenge the death of his parents. Family or not, he was never a forgiving person. He liked to see his enemy bow down and beg for mercy
“Are you alright? You must have been startled” Mason inquired, pushing back the strands of black locks that fell on Sophia’s face behind her ears. Sophia avoiding eye contact responded, “I’m okay”Mason let out a huge sigh of relief, “That’s great”.Retracting his hands from the back of Sophie’s ears, he turned towards his men; regarding them with a fierce expression. “Now, tell me about this memory loss of mine. What on earth happened to me?”A man In black suit and brown curly hair, who goes by the name Leo, spoke up first, “The last time we were with you, you said that you had a meeting with your uncle”Mason furrowed his brow in confusion. Why would he have a meeting with his uncle Markus? The same uncle that was responsible for his parent’s death. “A meeting with my uncle? Are you sure?”“A hundred percent, capo”Mason still found it hard to believe especially since this information didn’t seem to trigger any memory, “And what happened after that?”“I don’t really know all the d
“Is that the best solution? Going back to the Hutton’s house? But why? You were already kicked out and..” Butler Martin took the divorce paper in Mason’s hands,”You’ve already been divorced. I oppose to this!”“I don’t want to go back either” Mason countered. The thought of going back to that house and suffering under Sandra and Samantha once more made his skin crawl but, it was a feat he had to endure. “But, I need to make whosoever did this to me to think the ball is still in his/her court. That they still have me trapped in their palm.”Butler Martins turned away from Mason, clearly furious. “Your grandfather wouldn’t want to see you suffer this way”Mason placed his hands over Butler Martins shoulders, reassuringly, “Don’t be too hard on yourself. I’ll be fine and I’m sure grandfather would understand. It’s only going to be for a little while. Until we catch the person who did this to me”Butler Martins turned to face Mason, “By the way, would your wife and her family take you bac
“Mother!” Samantha shrieked, her eyes widened as her shaky gaze moved from between her wet divorced husband to her mother who was funing in rage with a little red bucket in her hand. “Get out of here right this instant!” Her mother, Quinn shouted at Mason but the later didn’t budge, he remained on his knees nevertheless; drenched from his head to toe. Mason clenched his fist as hard as he could. He’d come this far, swallowing his pride so he was going to bare the humiliation at all cost.“I’m sorry” Mason repeated like a damaged robot, “Please accept me back into your home”Samantha who couldn’t bare the humiliation on her part; rushed over to Mason’s side, “Get up right this instant. Don’t you have any shame? Hurry up and leave”“I won’t leave”“You have no reason to be here, we are divorced!”“On paper but not yet in court”Samantha’s eyes widened, taken aback. She hadn’t expected those words to slip out of Mason’s mouth, “What did you say?”Quinn scoffed, “The audacity. You proba
Mason's gaze slowly shifted to meet Drake. He could see fear that he never thought was in his vocabulary sinking deep in his eyes.Drake anticipated his reply to his question. "Not at all, I've never seen you before," Mason managed to say.Mason saw his tense shoulders drop in relief as he heard his reply. Drake's eyes studied him for what seemed like a minute before he looked back at Williams who could only watch. With a nod to Williams, he got into his car and it zoomed off.While Williams walked into the Hutton's mansion in his glory.Mason smirked, just as he thought and he was right. It looked like the almighty Williams Carter who Samantha is fighting tooth and nail to marry was just an ordinary puppet to his joke of a cousin, Drake.His thoughts of bringing hell down to each and every one of them made his return back here worth it, his lips quivering into a sly smile."What are you doing standing and smiling like the fool that you are?" Mason bounced out of his trance as Quinn'
Mason stood at a distance and watched Williams grace the floor towards the exit.It was quite obvious that Williams wasn't interested in Samantha, he was interested in him. A smirk crawled up Mason's lips, he couldn't wait to mislead Williams Carter. He had figured the culprit already, Drake should expect an August visit.Meanwhile back at Uncle Markus' household, an agitated Drake paced. He would every now and then look at his wrist to see the time.He was getting more and more anxious as the minutes went by.He dug his phone out from his back pocket and dialed the recent contact but this time it went straight to voicemail.Drake ruffled his hair in anger and frustration."Boss," a man dressed in black suit and neatly trimmed black hair approached Drake, but with caution.Drake was still drenched in sweat and anger when he heard the voice echo. He turned in fury, terror visible in his eyes."What?!" He roared without taking note of the second figure in the room.Drake's gazed swift
