The Unassuming Mason Wilde 62
Mason smirked openly at Ric as the latter watched him with burning eyes. He could see the hatred for him written clearly across Ric’s face, even his father could, as he stared back at Ric with a hard expression, silently demanding he masked his emotions, but masking what he was feeling at the moment was not one of Ric’s strongest suit as he ignored his father and glared at Scarlett as she put the beef into her mouth. It was not the fact that she was eating it that hurt Ric's pride so badly, it was the message it sent across to the table, and this too in front of his father, now Ric knew he attempted to have a little fun with Scarlett some days ago, but to him that was not nearly enough reason for the pain and humiliation he was currently passing through and too make it worse in front of his family, he closed his eyes as his knife digged into the ceramic plate and produced a screeching sound that caused everyone around the table, including the servants to glare at him.“What's the matt

Scarlett was absolutely satisfied with her revenge on Ric, now she knew that logically it should not have the same weight compared to what he did to her, but she was satisfied nonetheless.She knew Ric’s ego, and she knew they severely bruised it last night, in fact she knew that what they did was enough to drive Ric to tears, but she could not find in her to feel remorseful, he was an absolute idiot and she hoped he realized it, her thought drifted to Mason and how he did everything in his power to help her, even putting himself in possible danger, she scoffed at his ridiculousness but inside she felt warm, protected and safe with the knowledge that she had never once regretted her marriage to Mason, and what's more, recently it is even beginning to look like the best thing that had ever happened to her.Although t

Seth Ackerman, aka Kain was busy tying loose ends before he left the country for good. His recent gig involving Mrs Wilde was his best one yet, and he had finally gotten enough cash to do what he wanted, which was to clear his debt and the death threat hanging around his neck and finally leaving, this time for good.“Well well, look who is here.” Dragon, the leader of Red Falcon, mocked as soon as Kain stepped into their den. He had been on the run from them for several months now, knowing that his life was over the moment they caught him, which they never did as Kain was an expert in the game of hiding.It was one of the other things he did best. Kain refused to be intimidated however, as he strode in confidently, everyone was crowding him, and he knew that even now his very breath was at stake but he could not let

“Is this everyone?” The head police officer asked and everyone nodded, he took that to mean yes and immediately strode to his car, he did it in such a way that made it clear that he expected everyone else to do the same, which they all scrambled to do, and Mason shook his head at the rudeness, as they were also forced to follow him, and he wondered if he also did the same thing to others unconsciously.“Kain was put under Agni Kai.” Young said as he crept back to where Mason still laid crouched, and Mason nodded in understanding. “That was why the bastard looked grateful, isn't it?” He asked and Young nodded with a laugh and a shake of his head.“We do have to leave now though.” He said again to Mason and shook him out of his reverie as Mason followed him instinctually.He had wanted to share the car as Kain so he could ask him some things weighing on his mind then, but as he looked at him been dragged into the car with other Red Falcons Mason decided that perhaps he knew everything

“I could have, but she didn't give me the chance to, just said whatever was on her mind and hung up.” Frustration was evident in his voice and Young stopped at a traffic light and used this opportunity to turn back and assess his friend. He could see the state Mason was, and it was not a good one, well, who could blame him? Being accused of infidelity often did that to a man.“Well, did you call her back to explain yourself?” Young asked again and Mason shook him with a forlorn and at this even Mark let out a sound of exasperation.“C'mon bro.” He sighed. “Really? Even I know that.”Mason laid his head on his palms as he considered his choices, he really had nothing to apologize for, the fact that Scarlett was havin

Scarlett indeed found it hard to sleep as well that night, as she paced about waiting for Mason, he had not returned home since that tensed morning, and it was quite close to midnight now, she taught as she stared at the huge clock framing a part of the hallway, this was not a normal occurrence at all, Mason had never passed a night out without telling her before and she knew she was partially to blame for just blindly throwing accusations around.Going back to seat to sit and reflect on her actions, Scarlett took a sip from the now lukewarm tea in front of her as she crossed and uncrossed her legs impatiently when the clock finally clicked midnight and there was still nothing to show for it, sighing, she debated on calling his friends, she had their now, Mason had insisted she did, he needed to be able to reach him circumstances regardless, and she accepted for it was quite logical rea

“Thank you for doing this with me.” Scarlett could not help but say, knowing how much Mason hates dining, chatting, or seeing her family in general, and she honestly could not blame him, she almost harbored such sentiments herself, but only the thought of her dear late Grandfather was staying her hand. The Rodneys mansion would never be home, not for her at least.“It is nothing.” He said stiffly, eyes hard and focused as if preparing to go into battle and she could not blame him for it, she simply smiled and placed one comforting hand over his, ignoring his surprised look. The argument, or lack of it rather was still fresh in her mind, when he flatly refused to discuss Rita Donovan with her as if the woman was a dear topic and Scarlett was not buying into the whole silence, but one thing she was known for was patience, she would play along to keep the peace, whi

Elicia was mute as she glared at her plates and nothing else. She could believe how the evening turned out. She had planned it out thoroughly, and should Mason have played his part by keeping mute, then none of this shame and humiliation would be taking place.To her of all people, Elicia thought as she clenched her hands into fists, very much aware that the remaining family seated around the table Mason and his snobby wife had just vacated were glaring at her, and sympathizing with her simultaneously.She clenched her fists even tighter, ignoring the way her spiky rings bit into her hands and she stiffened as she felt a thick slimy liquid run down her palms but she ignored it, in a way it helped, the pain distracted her from the shame and she scoffed at the irony. It always happened like this, she never ever got to have

Waiting felt like eternity, but Mason was just simply grateful to have his friend there even if he had persuaded them to return home but was promptly ignored of course. He was still glad. Glad he did not have to go through something like this alone, it would have been a nightmare to be honest.Mason stared at the time, the surgery had been going on for about two hours now, but he refused to think negatively, he could not really afford it, so he sat still and told himself that they were only doing what needed to be done.He picked up the drink Young had bought finally, he needed to stay hydrated, so he threw it down his throat, grimacing in the process as it burned him while going down. And he sniffed, his throat dry, he did not like that so much time had passed by it was becoming worrisome.“Don't worry. It sometimes takes this long you know.” Young offered and Mason nodded at him with a grateful smile, his friends were everything. He had no idea how he would have survived the turmoil

Through the bright haze of pain Scarlett could hear the nurses gasp as something got stuck, she knew that the atmosphere had changed, she was a sensitive person, so from the start of the labor itself she was already harboring terrible fears, and it seemed they were going to come through after all.The nurses tried their best to reassure her, they were the best in the business they said, all she needed to do was relax, it would be alright soon, but how could she? How could she relax when she felt herself losing strength by the minute. It was a terrible feeling, the weakness started from her head, sounds strange? Well that was exactly how it started, it started from her head and spread down slowly, leaving behind a terrible trail.She opened her mouth slowly and looked at the nurse, pleading with her eyes for her to come closer.“Mason.” Scarlett whispered pathetically and the woman sighed and patted her hand before leaning down.“Mr Wilde is out talking with the doctor ma'am, they are

“Ahhhhhh!” Scarlett's cries echoed down the hall where Mason was asked to stay as he paced with his friends, they were all thinking the same thing, if she was not in freaking labor, then why was she screaming so much, the sound was already Making Mason agitated. He could not hear it, and the more he paced with his face scrunched up in worry, the more worried his friends became.“I think we should try a different hospital.” Mark finally voiced out from where he sat with his head in his hands, and Mason's eyes immediately snapped to him in concern.“Why? What do you think is wrong with this one?” He asked anxiously, and Young immediately spoke over Mark, glaring at him to keep shut as he spoke.“Absolutely nothing Mason, do not listen to Mark, listen to good things only.” He cautioned, and Mark frowned but said nothing.Immediately he heard this, Mason's worst fear was confirmed and he stood to rush into the room Scarlett was in taking deep breaths with the nurse, her hair already matte

Scarlett had been trained for such a situation, the water may most likely break in the middle of the night, they said, it happens to a lot of women, so fear not, they had advised, keep a calm head despite the heat of the moment and think rational thoughts, they had counseled.But Scarlett was in the heat of the moment, and ration was the least thing in her mind, not when she felt so anxious. The fact that the babies were not kicking her the night prior, and the fact that Mason was at ease with the company around him encouraged her to dismiss the nurses from hovering around her all night, she insisted she was alright, and with Mason being too distracted to pay attention, there was little they could do.But now she wished she could take it all back, the pain was back and back with a vengeance, with a crippling force that she could only gasp and hold her stomach. She was even afraid to move as the ground was slippery beneath her after her water broke. Scarlett was totally unprepared for

Scarlett woke up from her nap, and was pleasantly surprised to hear Mason laughing downstairs. He never seemed to laugh anymore, and just followed her anxiously with his eyes, his legs practically vibrating with the force of stopping them from jumping up and helping her.But now she heard him laughing, something so carefree in his laughter that it brought a smile to her lips as she got to her feet with the help of the nurse that was previously knitting a hat in a corner of the room.She had only agreed to let her stay in the bedroom because she found it extremely difficult to pick herself up from the bed after laying on it, she was like a proper whale now.“You know Mason, worrying till he could not anymore had always been his motto.” Mark laughed, and they all echoed it, each recounting a time when Mason almost killed himself with worry for no reason, and Mason sipped at the drink with a laugh, feeling thoroughly chagrined.*My God!” Young said softly and in awe as he stared at a th

Mason watched Scarlett gradually increase in size, and he had no idea what to feel, but one was sure though, the sight was dreadfully daunting. She was slim and fit one moment, and the next she was dragging her belly that had grown so big along that Mason was genuinely terrified that she might topple over one day, it was becoming a most genuine concern at that point.He was always hovering around and above her like a shadow, and knew that she was not pleased with it, but to Mason ever since she turned into an inflated balloon, she lost the right to decide what was best for her.The stay at home nurses he employed for her sake were paid to hover around her when he could not, and at that point Scarlett was venturing into crazy land.Mason knew that she was frustrated with his behavior, but he could not help it. She looked so tiny compared to her huge stomach that he felt the need to do something, anything, as this was partially his fault.He knew she said Children were blessings and tha

The two bewildered couple stared at the doctor in bewilderment for a solid thirty seconds. They did not understand a thing he had just said, and he only seemed to be smiling, Scarlett leaned closer to Mason.The doctor could see that they were having difficulties with coming to terms with the news, it was always like that with new parents after all, they were almost always shocked before the excitement kicked in.*You are having twins.” He said again, just to make sure he was clear, and the couple stiffened up as Scarlett slowly, very slowly looked up at her husband.“He said twins, Mason.” She whispered, and Mason turned to look down at her with a dazed nod, before turning to the doctor.“Show us.” He said, almost as if he did not quite believe it, and the good doctor nodded before resuming his roaming on Scarlett's stomach.“This is, should we say baby one?” He asked with a smile, and Mason nodded with watery eyes, at this point he was literally shaking, so much that Scarlett had to

Scarlett was quite happy with how well everything had turned out, the peacefulness of it was a bonus point as well. She was dreading the thought of a war as that had been what she had been experiencing for quite sometime now.So when she watched the gentlemen and their raucous ladies board the jets once again to take them back to their various continents she could help but ease up a sigh of relief.She looked at Mason with appreciation, and could see the relief in his eyes as well, he was as relieved as she was and perhaps even more so, ever since he found out that she was pregnant, all he had seem able to do was worry and fret, and as endearing as it was, Scarlet was getting quite worried about his mental health.Her hands drifted to her almost still flat belly and felt the little bulge that had pushed itself up a few days ago. She could not help but caress it now as it felt like she was shielding her baby from the world.She doubted even her husband had noticed the baby bump, should

Mason watched them carefully so as to be able to spot any looks of concern or shock or just anything that told him that they were unaware of this unfortunate news, Mason scoffed.*You do not seem surprised.” He said to them and Jonathan shrugged as he looked at him with a gaze straight from hell in all its mischief and grizt.“Listen, pretending to be surprised would be a lie and a cowardly action.” Rhode said with a straight forward and Mason venomously, even he was surprised by the depths of his anger, it felt unquenchable.“Your parents killed mine.” Mason said, no more point in hiding it, he came right out with it and said it, they both nodded.“They caused the car crash that happened, it was organized by them, and done so that no one would be able to escape.” Rhode said and Mason flinched back.“I cannot just let you both leave.” Mason said desperately, he didn't want to harm them, but at the same time was terrified of allowing them to walk away.“We were supposed to kill you as
