2024-10-29 19:42:56Jason was brainstorming, with everyday that passes the party drew closer and with the arrival of the party came the announcement of the new COO and if Scarlett should have that then Jason would be left with nothing, and he could not afford to be left destitute and be made the subject of mockery amongst his circle of friends.
He paced the floor of his office, his heels grating even to his ears, he could not afford this, he had always thought he was better than Scarlett in every way especially after she married that dreg of society but now with her strangely bagging that contract he was not so sure anymore. The little chit was once more taking everything from him. He was halted mid_steps by the ringing of his phone, annoyed, he took it out.
“Mom, not now.” He snapped before Elicia even had the chance to say a word.

Mason knew that he was going to have to lie to Scarlett after their dinner and once she started to ask questions, it was not something he was looking forward to, but coming clean now and telling her everything without knowing her reaction beforehand could jeopardize everything. For that reason he tried to eat real slow but after some time Scarlett sensed what he was up to and decided to leave already. No dinner, no matter how expensive, should be eaten for this long.“Alright, alright. I am done.” Mason sighed as he pushed his plates away and stood up slowly while Scarlett watched with raised brows.“Good, now let's get out of here, I have a long day tomorrow, it's two days to my party.” Scarlett insisted and he signed, she was right as usual.“Yes, yes, sorry.” He apologized as they moved outside slowly, a shawl wrapped around Scarlett's shoulders.“After you.” Mason muttered as he held the door open and she scoffed with a small smile but accepted regardless.“Put on some music pleas

She listened quietly as she flipped through the glossy pages of a teen Vogue magazine, her attention divided between her dreams to work there and Michelle's long string of complaints.“Hello!” Michelle snapped her glossy fingers at Brietta as she noticed her friend's lack of reaction for a while now.“Oh shit, sorry, you were saying….” Brietta trailed off as she gazed at Michelle expectantly, tossing her pale blond hair over one shoulder and Michelle repressed the jealousy that always try to rear its head whenever some aspect of Brietta reminded her of how beautiful she really was “You always do this Bri, your mind wanders off when I am trying to tell you something.” Michelle snapped, anger bubbling inside, but Brietta grinned.“This happens often and you have never tried to wonder why?” She asked, trailing

I can't seem to remember?” Mason asked and Scarlett laughed as carefully applied polish to her toenails and Mason drank his coffee slowly as he watched her work painstakingly and remarked on what a pain in the ass it must be to be a woman and Scarlett just shook her head slowly, trying to explain to him in general that men were on the losing end.“The Party is tomorrow Mason.” Scarlett sighed. “I can't believe you forgot so early, what is going on up there?” She asked, playfully bonking her curled up finger against the side of his head and he laughed again.

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

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 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.

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
