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

“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.

Immediately the uproar that emerged from the silence was one that the Wildes had never thought was possible, it was just a bit of gossip after all, but the crowds ate it straight up and gobbled it down, and in no time, worse rumors emerged, and it was something that even a media controller could do little to stop.Mason and Scarlett were in the luxurious hole that Saturday evening and decided to switch on the TV to get rid of the strain that still lingered in the air, and they did.

The Rodneys all sat around Madam Rodney's hospital bed, and they were all looking slightly out of place as they shuffled their feets and twiddle their thumbs, never in their life had they anticipated something of this magnitude happening to any of them, and certainly not from the hands of family.

She was a bloody idiot, stupid and weak, and he hoped to the heavens above and whoever might be listening that his cousin got her due. Just then his phone rang, and he hesitated, with his current state he was unsure if he would ever be able to face anyone. Looking at the screen, he blanched.

Mason stared at his wife with the straightest face ever, he could not even bother to feign amusement, not one shred of it could be found on his face as he simply stared at her, terribly afraid that she had lost her mind and was becoming delusional from stress perhaps, because he really could not understand what prompted her to even think that Whatever she was doing was right, and he could tell by the hopeful look she was giving him that she hoped he was buying into her idea, and he was not, not one bit. He was still staring at her nonplussed when the doorbell rang, and the head maid went to open it and array of maids behind her as they prepare to greet the master's extended family, and it all came rushing at once to Mason like a rush of wind filled with stones and shrapnel, and he was not amused.“What on earth Scarlett?!” He hissed, grabbing her arm as she attempted to go out and

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

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.

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
