Madam Rodney could only stare at the wall as she wondered where on earth she had lost it, I mean it had to have been at some point of her life right, where her own children turned to something she could not recognize right before her very own eyes. 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
Mason walked into the boardroom extremely conscious of what looked like wagging tongues that followed him all the way from the lounge to the elevators and was now accompanying him most chivalrous into the board room.The members all ceased talking immediately he walked into the room, and Mason just had to raise a brow at that, he would have thought that his executives were too busy to gossip so early in the morning.“Sir, come with me please.” Rita Donovan immediately hurried to Mason's side and pulled at his arms, Mason's brows raised even higher if that was possible.“Okay Rita, speak.” He ordered in the safety of his office, he had already began to sense that whatever was happening was bigger than he had originally thought.
Michelle hesitated In front of the Wilson's mansion. She knew that they had no reason whatsoever to help her, but still she harbored little hope. Emerald was betrothed to her cousin Jason, and Ric Wilson had only been in love with her sister Scarlett for as long as she could remember.It should be that hard to seek their help, they had ties and connections with her family, intimate ties for that matter, and surely they would want to help her as a result?But still she hesitated. Ric Wilson might be in love with her sister, but he had been insulted and disregarded because of the said love, that Michelle was no longer sure if it was love or simply masochistic tendencies coming to light.She also remembered humiliating Emerald so vividly and been beaten for it, the truth
“Where on earth did you get that?” Ric asked in awe after Michelle's departure, he was pretty sure his sister could not have caught Mason in such a compromising situation, in fact he was sure of it, but there was the picture, and he saw it with his own eyes. He was intrigued in truth, and he could not help but study the picture again and again. It was a very passionate embrace indeed, and was a clear proof of Mason's infidelity.“Don't tell me you bought it as well?” Emerald laughed as her brother's expression was quite hilarious indeed, she was pleased though. If her brother could believe it, then Scarlett definitely would.“What's there not to buy?” Ric laughed, he was also very pleased. He would finally get his overdue revenge on the Wildes happily ever after. He was already relishing the utter look of betrayal that would cross Scarlet's face as soon as she saw the picture.“You are demonic sister, do you know that?” Ric asked Emerald with a grin, and she smiled right back, if the
Jason was honestly surprised when he was grandly summoned to the Wilsons mansion that morning, but that is not to say he was not suspicious, oh he was suspicious indeed. And he said as much to Emerald when she came up to him that morning.“You do not trust my brother.” Emerald said with a smirk as she observed Jason, deciding that perhaps he was not so dense after all. Jason stared at her with overflowing suspicion.“Me? Trust that bastard? Hell I probably trust him as far as I can throw him, which is obviously not very far.” Jason grumbled as he got into the car and Emerald took the will to reduce the chances of him changing his mind.“Careful, that bastard just happens to be my brother.” She murmured and Jason snorted unrepentantly, and Emeralds formed a fist on the steering wheel.“Yeah yeah, like I care.” He chuckled, and Emerald ignored him, deciding that maybe he deserved what was coming to him after all.~Scarlett stared at her sister in surprise, given their previous argument
“No.” Scarlett denied despite the evidence staring her right in the face. “No! No! No!” She cried, imitating a rocky motion on her feet as she stared at the picture in front of her, and held her arms crossed across her chest as if to protect her fragile psych from the onslaught it was about to receive. Michelle scoffed.“Denial I see.” She laughed, but there was no mirth behind it, it was simply a spiteful little sound that showed pure contempt for her sister and nothing else.*No!” Scarlett yelled again, so loud that even Michelle flinched back a little. “I'm refusing to believe what is obviously fake and orchestrated to ruin my happiness!” She yelled, looking at her sister right in the eyes, and Michelle could not help but swallow nervously, she could attest to the fact that that statement was meant solely for her and her alone.“So I'm the one after your happiness am I?” She laughed again, a short mean sound, but Scarlett was not backing down this time, she knew she had to fight no
