The Unassuming Mason Wilde Chapter 136
Jason was pacing as his mother relaid everything she had said and seen from his grandmother's office. He could not understand it, he had thought that with his aunt Vivian out of the picture, then Scarlett would be destabilized long enough for him to do something worthwhile, but no, she has already bounced back enough to make sneaky deals?He was sick of it all, every one he knew had taken the side of the wench far too often, it was one of the reasons why he distrusted his new partnership with Rich Wilson, he knew that even if he tried to deny it, the bastard had a soft spot for his cousin.Once again that feeling of being cornered and backed up the wall threatened to choke Jason, he knew that if Scarlett decided to take this battle seriously, then it was going to be problematic for him indeed.“So you're telling me that Grandma is playing so type of game?!” Jason thundered, he was also sick of that old woman acting like everyone was nothing more than chess pieces for her to move acco

Rita stared at the trembling figure of Mr Barnum Miller in amusement, he was trembling before her, trembling so bad that she actually began to feel sorry for the man. She wondered what was going through his little mind as he stood before her twisting the cap clutched between his fingers, deciding to put him out of his misery soon enough, she stood up slowly, gesturing for him to seat, but he shook his head rapidly, eyes pleading, as if begging her not to make him do it, and Rita almost burst into laughter at this peculiar sight.“Mr Barnum Miller, yes?” She inquired, and he nodded jerkingly, full on fidgeting in his seat now, and if Rita were any kinder perhaps even she would be moved to pity.“You are fully aware that you are here to work, am I right?” She asked the poor man, and he nodded immediately, shoulders puffing up as if to assure her that he had it covered.“Yes ma'am, I do my best Madam.” He said eagerly, thinking that perhaps he had been too busy filling his head with neg

Michelle was not exactly pleased to open the door and see her sister loitering on her doorstep, actually she was far from pleased as she gazed at Scarlett with a severe expression and no hint of the sweet girl Scarlett used to know in sight.“Hello sister. Not gonna invite me in?” Scarlett greeted from where she stood, and she could see the contemplation on her sister's face, shocking her to the core, that she would even hesitate.“Fine.” She muttered before walking into the house, not even looking back to see if Scarlett was following her, but she did anyway, she needed to fix things.“So, I saw Aunt Elicia on my way here? Was she here to see you? What did she want?” Scarlett asked, and Michelle could only scoff angrily.“Why? Are you the only one worthy of visits from our esteemed family members?” She asked sarcastically, and Scarlett sighed, she had not meant it that way.“What's wrong with us Michelle?” She eventually asked, unable to bear the stiff silence any longer, and Michell

Jason could sense that something messed up was about to happen, but he just could not pinpoint where exactly. But he was absolutely sure, you see, Jason was a big coward and had spent the majority of his life running from his own decisions, so when the need for flight came he could easily feel it.So that morning when he could not stop pacing, he knew it was significant, he just could not find out why. Fishing out his phone from his pocket in anger, he called his fiance Emerald, he just needed someone at that moment, she answered promptly, her voice coy as always.One thing about Emerald that was both fascinating and frightening is that she lacked sincerity. She lacked it in the true sense, the smallest of smiles, and the biggest of laughs, she was the most hypocritical being to ever live, and it used to be one of the few things that attracted Jason to her, but now it just made him feel wary and on edge because hers was a face that could not be read.“Hello darling.” She greeted with

Rita had finally gotten a name, Jason Rodney, she was quite surprised at this cause she knew that Jason was Scarlet's brother, but judging by the way Mr Ronald was shaking and shivering in front of her, she doubted he would be able to lie, given his state.“Are you absolutely certain?!” Rita asked menacingly all the same, shoving her face closer to his with narrowed eyes, and watching as he blinked nervously, but she was unmoved.“I_i am absolutely certain Ma'am.” The poor guy had no idea when he yelled at his boss, and Rita was quite taken aback as she glared at him and he faced the ground in total contrition.“So Jason Rodney offered you too many dollars to lie against your boss.” Rita repeated his story slowly, trying to make sense of it, trying to also give him a chance to fess up, him coming back to change his story would lead to an inevitable dismissal.Mr Ronald was nervous indeed, after all he knew quite well that he was yet again promoting falsehood, but he just could not hel

Mason was enraged, pissed off, he could not believe what he had just heard, but in a way he could also believe it exactly. Jason had struck for the last time, Mason thought angrily. Jason Rodney had always been stupid in ways even Mason could not fathom. The man was oblivious with his head constantly stuck in the clouds. He was so self absorbed that he failed to see that the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with was an error on so many levels, but no one would tell him. Mason had always wanted to deal with Jason so severely but had had to hold back for his darling wife's sake. Although if this had happened way before now, he would not have hesitated to deal with Jason as terribly as he pleased, but Scarlett had been so sensitive lately, that Mason had felt that perhaps this was not the right time to do anything to send her over the edge again.He loved Scarlett that much, but due to Jason's stupidity, his whole life was at stake, everyone suddenly wanted him to prove so

Elicia could not believe her ears. After putting so much effort into the boy, she thought with disappointment, he was really failing her with every step he took. She was already down to her last thread, already trying to secure the Rodneys family fortune and all he could do was mess things up.Things had been looking bad for Elicia for a while now, with her sister Vivian's life going so smoothly and Jason constantly messing up and reminding her of her inadequacies, her mother Madam Rodney had made it clear that she was not to expect anything by the way of fortune. So she had lain in wait, waiting for her sister, or her sister's children Scarlett and Michelle to screw something up, they just had to, to give Elicia the lucky break she was after.But Scarlett grew up to be such a righteous do-gooder that for a moment, Elicia lost hope, then she went ahead to marry a supposed peasant, forfeiting her grandmother's favor in the process, and Elicia could not be more delighted.She made sure

Jason had begun to think that perhaps his mother was right when Emerald showed at his door looking glamorous just the way he liked it, and what looked like bags of groceries in her hands, his fantasy came to life, and that made him very suspicious.“Well are you just going to stand there and stare at me, or are you going to invite me in?” Emerald stated provocatively, enjoying the gobsmacked look on her face.Jason blinked at her uselessly, and Emerald began to wish she had never come, perhaps she was overdoing it?“Fine then, I'll just go back.” She shrugged nonchalantly and turned back, and Jason immediately snapped out of it as he watched her leave. “Sorry.” He muttered as he shifted aside, allowing the door to open a little bit more. “Come on in.” Emerald immediately bounced in, and gave Jason a small peck on the cheek, reluctant to ruin her lipstick, but she knew he did not mind it, it was something she had been doing for years after all.“But what's the occasion?” Jason asked

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
