Scarlett stared at him with concern, he looked tired, so much so that it got her worried, so she made him sit down and prepared some chamomile tea.She had come to realize that he enjoyed seeing her in the kitchen preparing his meals, and that if she made it, then he would eat almost anything, it was an endearing quality.And he was not a fan of tea, but he drank every drop just to please her, and Scarlett was quite pleased indeed, as she bent to pick up the now empty cup, she could not help but place a kiss on his forehead, he looked so vulnerable in that moment.Mason stared at her in shock as he felt the soft skin on his face, this had never happened between them before, and he could not help but feel apprehensive.He glanced up and looked into her eyes, seeing that they were filled with nothing but love and compassion for him, he slowly wrapped his hands around her middle as she stood in front of him, and slowly rested his head on her stomach.It was something he had always wanted
The sound of the pan re echoed through the entire room as Mason stared at his teary wife in utter silence. He did this for such a long time that Scarlett was beginning to feel uncomfortable, and apprehensive.She knew that this was a delicate topic that they had never breached, how could they? Up until a few weeks ago, the thought of intimacy itself was unspoken between them.“Are you alright?” She decided to finally ask, and Mason nodded, every movement slightly dazed.“Y_you are pregnant, aren't you?” Mason asked just to confirm, and Scarlett lifted her hands from her stomach to smile at him.Yes she was pregnant, she should have suspected, given the amount of emotional turmoil she had started experiencing, but had chucked it up to accumulation of stress, perhaps this was why self diagnosis was frowned upon. She nodded and Mason immediately broke into loud laughter as he leaned forward to pick her up and did a little twirl.Immediately more than half of Scarlett's worry dissipated,
Mason reached out to the five most influential families in the entire world and proposed his weekend getaway, an all expense covered trip, now mind you these men could very well cover their own trip, but it was the thought that counted, one do not simply turn down such an invitation, and honestly when the other families saw who was on the invite, they had no choice but to go. If word got out that one turned down such an invitation involving such prominent people, then it was sure to not end well.It was a well thought out plan by Scarlett, and Mason was quite proud indeed, but she insisted on going with him, and Scarlett was in a very fragile state, and it was something that Mason had no desire whatsoever to risk.But she was frustratingly adamant, determined to not leave his side for a moment. Scarlett could not understand why he was fussing over her so much, sure she was pregnant, but the baby bump was not even showing yet, he had no reason to be this wary.She knew that men could n
It was a truly grand invitation paid for by Mason Wilde, who would dare refuse the honor? As a matter of fact no one did, and even Mason himself was still amazed by his power, he had not thought it possible, the four wealthiest families had seemed impossibly huge and out of reach to him. He supposed his wife Scarlett was right when she had waggled a finger in his face and called him a Wilde; these families might be powerful, but he could rival them any day.Sometimes the reach of his own power was terrifying to Mason, suddenly nothing seemed out of reach anymore, he had never once desired to play God as most people of his caliber did, he was a firm believer of the phrase know your place, but even that idea didn't seem so far fetched anymore.He went up to Scarlet's room to wake her up to get ready for their trip, and was surprised to find her bed empty. He knew she wanted to follow him and found his reasoning of her delicate situation ridiculous, and also knew that she had gotten up
“I think we should just tell him.” Jonathan said from his place on the chair in the fancy resort. Now that they had both confirmed that Mason was looking for ways to crucify them and hence cleverly brought them here under his watchful eye, there was nothing they could do now but figure a way out by themselves.“And tell him what exactly brother?” Rhode scoffed from his place In the window, he stood in front of it and stared at the fancy Garden below. Peka was indeed worthy of its fame and name, he was also amazed by the craftiness of the man involved. He had brought them here under fancy promises and false pretenses and had successfully trapped them, they could either let him search for clues himself, or come right out and tell him.And while Rhode was not inclined to do either, he could not deny just how devious the plan was. He turned to Jonathan with a smirk.“We could just enjoy this luxury vacation and watch him dig. There's nothing to be gained from watching us after all.” Rhod
The dinner went on pretty well, there was a spirit of joyfulness that most of the people present shared. Mason could understand why there was a spirit of camaraderie in the air.So Mason sat on the sidelines and simply watched, he watched Scarlett mix in so freely with the other wives and she delighted in drawing out a deep belly from Lucy Martinez while the pretty wife of Azumabito just chewed her food and drank her wine with zest and a smile.He found himself unable to join in the fun and merriment, how could he? He had arranged this whole thing for one reason only and had gotten his answer. The Elrics might have had something to do with his parents death, but just like his family, they had also handed over power to the two young men in front of him, and no matter how much he tried he could not see the monster in either of them.“My my, your husband certainly looks displeased.” Lucy Martinez whispered, or thought to whisper, but due to her nearly drunken state, it was heard by every
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
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
