Have you ever been in a situation where everyone looks down on you and no one believes you, a situation where by you then tried to redeem yourself by showing to those people looking down on you that you are capable, but right when you are about to prove yourself another obstacle comes to joepadoze your chances. This was the exact of situation Mason was in. Allthough even with the fact that his phone had switched off due to lack of power, mason still stood tall without fear in his eyes. As he stood there , he was already been bombarded by negative comments from the people around, he was used to this kind of treatments, he got alot of this on a daily so he wouldn't let this get to him, instead he would look for a possible way of revivng his phone so he could make the payment and get out of here. Time passed and everyone was beginning to get pissed, expecially the sales boys and girls and even the cashier behind the counter, right now they were thinking that this had been Mason's plan
We live in a world where the wealthy rule while the poor feed on the remnants of the rich. A world where the rich are respected and treated like gods while the same could not be said for the poor. The funny thing was that most people forgot that most of the rich they see today were once poor,and the only reason they should be treated specially was the struggles and sacrifices they made to get to where they are today. Mason was not excluded, although he had been poor all his life, he had just been told a few days back that he was the rightful heir to one of the biggest and most powerful companies.Pushing his legs into his trouser, Mason was getting ready for school, of course today he would be a totally different person, the thing was, the clothing Mason was wearing at the moment was one of those expensive wears he had purchased.Right in front of Mason's eyes his life was beginning to transform, his life was changing for the better. He was extremely poor a few days back, and now he
How is it possible for one to leave his whole life behind, not just leaving a part of his life but his whole life . As he sat there on the couch, a glass of wine in his hand, Mason was a little confused, he had just been told that he would need to leave his life behind if he wanted to be safe. His mind was deep in thought as he really didn't understand what old Greg meant by leaving his whole life behind, does this mean he wouldn't be Mason any longer , or what exactly does this mean? To " I know you must be wondering what I meant by leaving your whole life behind." Old Greg's voice boomed in the quiet room, bringing Mason out of his thoughts. " Yes please explain "Mason said, taking a sip from the cup." Leaving your whole life behind doesn't mean you wouldn't be Mason anymore, of course Mason is your name and changing it wouldn't do us any good if you change it." " What I meant by leaving your life behind, is that, as from this day, you would be a different person " old Greg sm
Even with all these thoughts going through Mason's head, he was still able to hurry back to his room on time. Although he was almost caught, he had been quick enough to pretend as if he was still asleep, and with the maid and servants nowhere to be found it was easy for Mason. Throughout that night, it was really hard for Mason to sleep, his mind was occupied, he would toss and turn on the bed, trying so hard to sleep but his thoughts wouldn't let him. How was he linked to all this?To say that he wasn't safe at least for now he wasn't sure, and coupled with the initiation he had heard them say, he wasn't really sure what they meant by that. According to old Greg, Mason was a heir to one of the most powerful companies, Mason just couldn't understand how the word initiation was linked to a company, he just couldn't help but think that there was more to this than what he knew already. Well for now he would just play along and see where all this was heading. " Oh Young master you ar
One of the most painful things to experience was to see that you have been someone else all your life.Mason was indeed lucky to have found this out at an early age, what if he had found out about this when he had already married, settled and given birth to children, how would he have taken all this. As he sat there on the rock with Claire, he was listening to Claire quite alright but he was also deep in his own thoughts. ' what if his father had not felt sick and died a few months back, what if he had still been alive, does that mean he would have still been a nobody?, Would he still be a bread delivery worker?Would he still be attending that shithole he called his school where everyone wants to humiliate him at every given chance they got?. 'Actually right now Mason was furious, he was mad at his father for abandoning him, not just him but him and his mother. Although Mason never knew his mother that well, she had died when he was 11 and since then he had been struggling on his
Of course with all that had transpired at the boutique, the prime suspect was the Phoenix, given that Gabriel the Phoenix leader was earlier seen at the boutique before the shooting out occurred. Mason could still remember vividly all that had happened, he had never been so close to death, barely a few days of knowing about his family and himself, he was almost murdered by a man posed as a beggar, who wouldn't be frightened by this. At this point, Mason would agree that his life was indeed in danger, he could now understand the reason why the council insisted that he must not move alone without guards around him. If not for Nicholas who had been quick enough to use himself as a human shield, Mason didn't want to think of what would have happened. Although the bullet had hit Nicholas' shoulder region, it was initially directed to Mason's heart.At a large round table, three people could be seen sitting on the sides of this table. A large man who seemed like someone who could swall
Seeing the diminishing smile on Claire's face was kind of scaring Mason, he had thought about it and he had concluded that Claire was the best person to ask such a question. Although he was closer to old Greg and maybe it might have been easier to ask him, Claire had been the only one open enough to tell him about his past and everything he had come to know about the great seven.As he watched the smile on Claire's face turn into a frown, it was immediately washed off and the usual smile plastered on her face. " Who told you about the initiation? " Claire said gently.Mason knew there was no need to lie , so he decided it would be best to tell the truth. " I over heard the council talking about it the other day" " I see, well there is nothing wrong with you knowing about the initiation, we didn't tell you about it because we thought it wasn't time yet. But I guess since you have heard about it, it's best I tell you, " Claire said, sipping from the glass of wine in her hand. Mason
The last person Mason expected to see at an event like this was the exact person standing in front of him, Mason was beginning to think that maybe it was all in his imagination or maybe the wine was taking effect. But then he knew all these were false, Lalisa was standing right before him in flesh and blood, and she was just as shocked as Mason was or even more. Her mouth had been open since she laid eyes on Mason who looked totally different from the Mason she once knew. It was until Mason spoke that she finally realized that she needed to close her mouth. " You should close your mouth before a fly goes into it, " Mason said, trying to hide his own shock. " Mason, is this really you? " Lalisa asked, still finding it hard to believe he was really the one in front of her. He was totally different, a fine clean well ironed black suit was on his body,a nice pair of black shoes, and his hair was well combed backwards with the right amount of hair lotion.She could perceive the scent
Now that she have successfully left the house, lalisa couldn't be more happier, in her mind she knew she needed to do this quick and fast, which was why as she stepped on the pedal, she had zoomed off with a high speed, cruising through the streets until she had finally pulled up at the front of a place which she once called home, a place which held a lot of memories. " Well let's see what we got here" lalisa said to herself as she got down from the vehicle. The pregnant lady was putting on a gown, one that was free, hiding her protruding belly from the prying eyes of pedestrians on the street. As she walked closer to the gate, lalisa took a deep breath, breathing in and out , seeing gently placing her hands on the aluminum gate, giving it a slight push and as she did that, it pushed open with ease , clearly indicating that it wasn't locked. Lalisa wasn't really surprised by this as if she could recall, the gate hadn't been locked at the time when she left. After looking left and r
It's been a while since she had a proper nap, but she had just had one today, as lalisa laid on the soft mattresses, her eyelid slid open, she had been sleeping for a while and had just woken up. Lalisa had actually listened to her doctor, and she had followed his advice, for the past few days, the pregnant lady had been going to the hospital for her antenatal care, which was very important, and with the way lalisa was feeling lately, she could confirm that it was indeed truly import for her. That wasn't all, the doctor had advised that lalisa rest a lot and stay away from hard works, stress that would be harmful to her pregnancy and she had done that too, all thanks to her mom who had tried so much to be around lalisa so much lately, most times the woman would leave to work late in the morning and return early, just to be with lalisa, what had happened to lalisa had scared the woman that she didn't want anything to happen to her daughter again. The doctor had also told Lalisa to ta
Mr X could be seen matching into a corridor, after taking a deep breath he pulled the Door knob and then walked inside the room. Right there inside the room, Mr X could see Nicholas sleeping on the bed , he hadn't woken up yet, an Mr X didn't even know if he wanted Nicholas to wake up or not, he just stood there staring a him,looking at the boy for sometime, he took a stool and sat beside the bed, staring at the boy. " I wish it didn't have to happen this way " Mr X said to himself as he stared at Nicholas. Mr X still had the mask on his face, the mask of the bull which he wears every time, he hardly take it off , he only do that when he was around those who already knows what he looked like.. for those who don't know how or what he looked like, they thought maybe he was hiding a scar on his face or maybe he just don't want anyone to know what he looked like. Rumors had even circulated that Mr X was fred at one point in time, since Fred's body had not been found, this was why Clai
right in a particular area in the forest, a fight was going on, the group had dropped their weapons so had Nicholas, and right now Nicholas could be seen jumping into the air delivering a kick to one of the men's face, sending the man to the ground, Nicholas had always been good with his legs and fistand overall fighting skills, and right now those fighting skills were coming in handy. yet Another man was rushing to attack from behind Nicholas and he was quick to move out of the way, the man missed as his fist went straight ahead, connecting to the skull of his team member, punching the man on the head as he staggered backwards, docking to the ground, Nicholas attacked with an uppercut, sending the strike to the skull of the chin of the man as he staggered backwards and fell to the ground. " Y'all should back down now or else? " Nicholas warned, taking his stance again ready for anyone who dares attack. " Or else what? , We are taking you to Mr X whether you like it or not, you hav
Having friends was not as bad as she had thought, Maggie had thought it was a bit deal to make friends, but surprisingly she had actually fell for Aliya, with every passing minute the two spent together, maggie couldn't help but cherish it, Aliya was the only friend she have had so far and she could say it was one of the best moments of her life, she love it when Aliya smiled, she loved the joked she made, see love every single thing that aliyah did and she was very certain that Aliya felt the same way for her. The hunting which they had embarked on had been a successful one, in fact they had killed something that was impossible for them to carry home, this as the antelope , the same antelope which Aliya had shit, going against Maggie's instructions on shooting the antelope even before Maggie's would complete her statement. Even with this Maggie love grew more fir Aliya and as it is now, she would gladly Lay down her life for the phoenix princess if it was to come to that. The ant
Outside a tent, a few people were present, none other than Mason, Claire, Gibson, Peter, Jackson, Abby, Chris, Spider, Sylvester and the chief commander of the government army James A. Milley. They had all gathered outside a tent as they wanted to hear about the news Jackson and Abby had brought. Earlier they had mentioned something about a trial an the they had said they knew where Aliya was been held. , Nowone knows how true this was. But jackson and Abby where part of mason's elite group so they were to be trusted, there was no need for panicing or fear of falling into the enemies trap. " You mentioned that you found a trail, and that trail led you both to where Aliya was being held ? " Mason washed as he stared at Jackson, after all Jackson had been the one to give this report and not abby." Yes my lord, that's true. But the thing is we are not totally sure Aliya is in there, but there is a probability that she is kept there, " Jackson explained, and immediately Jackson finished
In the deep area of the forest, two ladies could be seen , one of them holding a pistol while the other wasn't, ofcourse Maggie was the one with the pistol while Aliya on the other hand was not holding any weapons, except for the little knife she had found covered in a pile of dried leaves, according to her, it might come in handy in a dire situation. Right now the two ladies were in the first for a hunt, they have been walking for a while and they haven't seen any animals." Do you think we would find anything, I mean it has been so quiet since we entered the forest, I don't think there is life out here " Aliya complained as she paused with both hands on her waist. " Shhh, you should stay quiet, look carefully to your right " Maggie whispered as she stretched her gun Forward, gently focusing it in the direction which she had just mentioned to aaliyah. As Aaliyah followed Maggie's hands with her gaze,her eyes widened as two squirrels could be seen running on a tree branch , they bo
It was morning already, probably 5am or 6. The morning came with a fug, one which filled the whole environment outside. It had also brought a cold to the environment, making everyone put on their cardigans and sweaters. Maggie had just woken up, as some as hr eyelid slid open, she was met with a sleeping Aliya who was sleeping peacefully beside her on the mattress like a little baby, her hair covered a part of her face, even if it was parked into a ponytail the night before, little strands of it had left the pack , resting on her face with the ends on the bed, Maggie could'bt deny the fact that Aliya was beautiful, if she was ama see would have want her all to herself, but as luck wanted to have it, she was not a man but a woman. Getting up on her feet, Maggie was careful not to wake up the sleeping princess or rather sleeping beauty. Sheslowky walked into the bathroom and took her bath, after a while she walked out of the bathroom with just her undies, immediately she walked out
At the small house which looked like a storeroom or Warehouse, two ladies were present, they were seated on the stools in the room having dinner as they were in the middle of a conversation. " Uhm you mentioned you were lost? " Aliyah asked as he bit down on a piece of meat which was placed on a small plate in front of her. " Uhuh , I was lost, at first I thought I was gonna die, but I was able to escape from the area where the rest of my team were killed , killed by this creature which I can't fathom, a creature which had four arms, how was it possible to defeat such a creature, I fear for the others right now " Abbie said as she shook her head." I can imagine, you know I have been in the black bulls' custody for a long time , I have even lost track of time, I don't really know how long I have been there, " Aliyah said, taking a sip from the mashed fruit drink which was made by Maggie. " You must have suffered a lot , were you hurt in any way? You know what I mean " Maggie said,
