“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'

But one thing that was common in all the footage was Scarlett's misery, and that was what excited Ric more than anything.He sipped his drink tirelessly as he watched with a triumphant smirk drawn permanently on his mouth, and Emerald watched her brother with concern in her eyes.

How on earth had that simpering lawyer come to that conclusion, she was sure she covered her tracks, and covered it well.She immediately galvanized into action, setting her cup down with a loud bang and rushing inside.“Honey, what's going on?” Her husband asked, but she simply hissed as she shoved him off in her effort to find her way.She immediately swiped out her phone to call Michelle. She would know what to do, she decided, and placed the call on her ear while waiting for her to answer.“Mom! What the hell did you do?” Michelle demanded from her mother angrily.“Be careful with that tone of voice.” She warned, and Michelle fell silent for a moment.“Mom, what's going on? Scarlett is already freaking out.” She said again, and Vivian groaned. She knew that things just got that much more difficult. This was not the plan at all, she thought angrily to herself as she ran to her wardrobe to wrestle o

That was how she was able to sink her claws into the financial blood of her company.

She had had a change of plans. She was going to pretend to leave with the airplane, that way she would successfully lead the police off her trail for now. It was the best thing she could do at the moment.So she moved nonchalantly to the entrance, and with her heart beating in her throat, she hurried towards the door of the airport. All she needed was to just get across the huge double doors, that was all she asked for. She kept well in the crowds and moved along with them, and soon she could feel the fresh breeze blowing from outside, a little more steps.“Mrs Vivian Rodney! Freeze!” Vivian had refused to take her husband's surname, she was a Rodney through and through. She froze as soon as her name

There was nothing she could do to help Vivian, and it hurt because Vivian held a special place in her heart, while Elicia was dumb and ruthless, Vivian showed potential and became the child she projected all her hopes upon, that indeed turned out to be an epic fail, but Scarlett, Vivian's daughter became the one her hopes turned to, so yes , Vivian had indeed a special place in her heart, and it hurt that there was nothing she could do to help, if only it was Elici_ “Bet you are wishing I was the one in jail, aren't you mother?” Elicia rudely cut into her mother's thoughts as she sauntered in like she was invited, and Madam Rodney immediately made sure her thoughts were well hidden. “Don't be stupid Elicia, I have enough on my plate a

Scarlett could only see red, she was furious, and when she was furious things tended to go horribly wrong, she could only stare at her younger sister in anger, and Michelle recognized the look, it was evident by the way she took an alarmed step backwards. Scarlett drew in a deep breath. She didn't want to get mad, her row with Mason was still present and fresh in her mind, and she was reluctant to deal with another.“What was that for?” She calmly asked her younger sister, and surprise flickered all over Michelle, she had expected a retaliation of some kind at least, not this terrifying indifference.“Y_you left mother all alone!” She accused Scarlett and Scarlett could only smirk as her thoughts became clear for the first time in days.“Mother? Which one? Last I can remember, I had none.” She replied, her eyes steadily trained at her sister.“D_don’t say that Scarlett, she needs you, I need you.” Michelle begged. “Don't desert us.” Scarlett could only scoff at this. “This is all ver

Mark could not believe the outrageous rumor that was going around the gentlemen's table that night. He was shocked to the bone to hear about it, and frankly had no idea what to do about it.“And that is quickly circulating?” Young asked him, Mark had finally decided to confide in his friend, Young was the smart and level headed one, he would know what to do.“Yes it is, it's so fucked up man. They just say things without having the faintest clue.” Mark gritted and Young paced uneasily. Such rumors in their world could end an empire, and if his friend were to become a victim of one he could not even think about what that would mean for Microloft.He knew that in his short time as the chairman, Mason had gathered quite a bit of enemies. Their world was based on order and structure, where everyone was supposed to know their place and acknowledge their betters.But Mason completely shattered that notion by climbing up from the bottom of the food chain to the very top, he knew that many w

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
