Scarlett could only watch as Mason rushed through his breakfast that morning, and practically dashed out of the house, his team following him like shadows. He was excited, she could tell, she could see it, but she didn't know how to breach the distance behind them, he was constantly on the move lately, ignoring her, or frankly just forgetting she was there.It was something that hurt her deeply, something that she also knew she had a hand in, but she never thought Mason would behave like that to her, it was quite depressing indeed, and saddened her.“Where are you going?” She finally gathered up the courage to ask, but Mason simply stared at her like he was not aware she was seated there in the first place. He looked sincerely startled. She swallowed the hurt climbing up her throat.“Ah yes.” He finally answered. “We recently purchased a wide expansion of land estimated 1.5billion dollars. We are going to inspect it today.” Scarlett could only sigh with relief. At least he was talki
“Buzzzzzzz '' The sound seemed to come from all around them, and Mason could do nothing but turn frantically around. A part of him was shocked by Brown's sly scheme, while the other part was quite impressed by it. It was perfect really, perfect in the sense that no one would ever believe it was an orchestration, he would have died in the middle of nowhere, and none would be the wiser.“Relax gentlemen. It's only bees.” Brown smirked arrogantly, his eyes trained on Mason for any sign of unease, and Mason carefully avoided his gaze in an effort to seem oblivious.“Relax?! Those vile creatures are the nastiest little bug to ever grace the earth’s surface!” One screamed, as they ran for cover but the only shade in sight were trees.“Nast
Vivian was having problems she could not solve, and problems that irked her because she truly believed they would have been solved by now. That was her original plan, but for some reason, things refused to go her way.Slamming down the flute she was sipping from hard enough to shatter, Vivian fumed out her rage. For the longest time she had played nice, hoping her daughter would see she was the only one truly on her side, but no. Scarlett was insufferable, she had no care for her family anymore, and it was a very hard pill to swallow.Vivian was drowning in debts, and her husband was doing nothing to help, he was being his usual useless self and it had fallen on her to carry on for the family which had led to her embezzling funds from the company.At first she was going to m
Jason was wild and livid with rage, he could not believe what he just heard, could not believe that once again he could be cheated so brutally.The position of director was never supposed to go to Scarlett, that was his major grievance. The role was his, he had worked his butt off for it, ensured that all his i’s are dotted and his T’s crossed. But his cousin had done nothing, absolutely nothing, and now the position was hers, just like that.He was feeling extremely bitter indeed. He felt cheated, he hated feeling that way, it made him sick. All Scarlett had to her was her name, her husband's name, and because of that simple fact he hated her so much that a lump of rage formed in his throat and refused to go down.“What's this I'm hearing?!” Em
Vivian was quite fulfilled that morning as she saw her daughter sit in the chair of the director that morning. And more than her own agenda she enjoyed the sight of Elicia and Jason's face as they both seethed like the failures they were.She was glad that Scarlett was on the seat. She knew the accounts would be reviewed soon, as it is reviewed every five years, and her five years were almost up.She was becoming ill at the thought of the gaps in finances getting noticed, and she getting eradicated from society, but with Scarlett finally filling that empty role she used to hold.Vivian had never been more glad to step down from anything in her entire life. She was just glad the heat would be taken off her, never mind the fact that it would be pinned on her daughter ins
Embezzlement! ScarlettRodney! Fundsthief! Scarlett could not understand what was happening. It was utterly ridiculous, embezzlement? She stood up to splash water on her face to help straighten out her thoughts.In the bathroom she could pretend that all was fine as she cleaned her face while staring at the diamond encrusted mirror, but as soon as she stepped into her room, the incessant ringing of the landline glittering with sapphires and crystals brought her back to reality.Cautiously, she moved to the phone and placed it in her ear, holding her breath as she waited. But it seemed the other person was waiting as well, she could only hear harsh and labored breathing from the other end.“H_hello.” Scarlett finally gathered up her courage to say, but the breathin
Mason could barely breath from the rage that coursed through him after he received a call that morning from his lawyer. His wife in jail? It was not only outrageous, it was maddening, and he was determined to do some damage.“How could you keep this from me?!” He rounded on Rita as soon as she stepped into his office, her head bowed, and she flinched back before taking a deep breath.“You were holding an emergency press conference Sir, I could not let this destabilize you.” She defended herself, but it seemed that her effort only promoted Mason's ire.“That's my wife Rita! A press conference? Was that really the best you could have done? What if I had been asked about it while standing defenseless? What would you have done?!” He thundered,
Scarlett burrowed deep into the covers of her bed as if that would save her from the onslaught going on outside. She could not believe that this was how she would eventually die. She was really exhausted, and Mason had been really helpful, kind, and supportive, but she knew he was digging for something, and she was not sure what exactly.Mason stood by her door with a cup of hot tea in his hands, smiling as she ventured towards the tv for the first time in five days. He knew that what was happening was taking a bitter toll on his wife's health, and it hurt that he could do nothing about it.“Hey.” He called her smiling, and she turned towards him with a tired grin, and he wondered if she had gotten any sleep at all, she looked worse than before she slept.“Got any rest?” He asked, and she shrugged before sipping her tea, and squeezing his hands to express her thanks as she turned towards the TV, and her hands in his froze.“My daughter does not deserve all the hate comments.” Scarlet'
