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
“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
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
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
Bright lights and extravagant decorations lit up the magnificent Rodney mansion.It was noon and it was madam Rodney’s celebration of the company at 40. She had successfully chaired the company since she was 32 years old. The celebration doubled as a late birthday celebration for Madam Rodney, she was 72 years old today.She was the Rodney family’s monarch and brutally headed the company all these years.Her grandchildren, their spouses and both of her daughters each presented gifts worth ridiculous amounts in Mason’s opinion.“Gran, I was able to get my hands on this Tiffany diamond necklace, only one of its kind.” Jason Rodney, her grandson said, “Mom, here are some gold statues I got when I traveled to India. They’re worth at least 10 million dollars!”“Mom, I wasn’t sure what to get you since you already have everything, so I bought you shares from the Wilson’s.” Another said.Madam Rodney was elated, she cheered heartily and laughed immensely.“Party! Everyone party!” She yelled
“30 billion dollars?!” Mason exclaimed.Mason was astonished. He knew his grandfather was wealthy or so he had heard but he never really got to wrap his head around how wealthy he was. He had left home when he was just a little over ten years old and had thought that every child lived in a huge mansion with servants. Right now though, he understood just how rich Christian Wilde was.If Gerald spoke so casually about 30 billion dollars he wondered just how much money will leave him as speechless as he is right now.Mason felt moved, but at that same moment he remembered his parents and shook off the sentiments. “Young master, I understand your frustration. You are one of the few Wilde’s left. You know your uncles and aunt did not have children, they thought it pointless.” Gerald started.“If you come home, the entire inheritance is yours. No one else’s.”Mason wasn’t swayed just yet.Gerald sighed, “in other news, your grandfather just acquired Microloft group for 200 billion dollars
The next morning, Mason was up early as usual. He cleaned the house and prepared breakfast and headed to Microloft headquarters in his peugeot 207 which was extremely beat up.He pulled up to the Microloft parking lot but saw that a special access was required to park. At that moment, a white BMW zoomed past him and parked.He looked up and saw a couple step out of the BMW. Hand in hand, it was Jason and his fiancée, Emerald. Jason was dressed rather flashy in some designer Mason wasn’t sure what designer exactly. Emerald was dressed head to toe in Burberry’s signature print.Mason didn’t know why they were there. He knew his best bet would be to avoid them, but as he turned around, he heard his name.“Mason?!” Jason called outThey both approached him as he stepped out of his Peugeot. Emerald scrunched her nose in disgust.“Baby, did someone let a rat in here?” She asked, sizing Mason up and down.Mason ignored her remark.“Hi, Jason, Emerald.”“Why are you both here?” Mason asked.
It was also the first time Mason ever met Rita. He had heard of the charming young lady who took Microloft by storm, but it was the first time seeing her in person.She was a beautiful young lady with a petite stature. She wore an alluring smile and was super polite to him.As soon as he sat down, Mason said, “I will not be coming to the office regularly. I would like you to continue handling the affairs as you have been.”“However, I will be giving some orders now and then.” He added.Rita wasn’t surprised that that was his approach. She didn’t expect the heir of the great Wilde family to spend his precious time sitting and overseeing the company.“No problem, sir.”At that moment, her secretary walked in.“Ma’am, Emerald Wilson and Jason Rodney are here to see you.”“Oh yes, I was expecting Ms. Wilson.”“You do business with them?” Mason asked.“Yes sir. The Wilson’s are one of our minor shareholders. They handle our shipping. So we meet every now and then to discuss our issues.”“
