He could still remember when Mason's father stormed out of the house with the little boy in town, he could vividly remember Mason's tears and the Grandfather obstinate reaction, and how his son called him heartless and stormed away, never to return. But he was also aware of the broken state of Mr Wilde and how he never fully recovered mentally and physically, and how he lived in affliction till he eventually passed. Protecting the Wildes had always been his duty, and he was not about to stop now.
“Good day,” he

“So when's the party Scarlett? 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. He seemed to laugh a lot more these days, Scarlett noticed. It was a good thing, it lessened the stress lines around his eyes, but it saddened her that he was not involving her as much as he used to, there seemed to be a distance between them that she could not breach, no m

Mason held on tightly to his seat belt as Mark drove roughly down the street, ever since their college days Mark had always been the reckless one, driving above speed limits and attending each and every frat party held, it would have been better if he did all these alone, but he always made Mason accompany him, much like a captain and his loyal loyal sidekick. And Mason was always too tired to argue and mostly just went ahead with whatever Mark said and did.“Bro, what the f*ck!” Mason yelled as soon as he realized that they had both made it to their destination safely and were both unarmed, while Mark laughed loudly, his eyes still bright from his recklessness.“You are still so uptight.” He chuckled. “Live a little dude, and heaven knows you can actually afford it this time.”

Mason was still in awe of the night, while Mark was busy eating it all up, and as they finally left Rogue's for the night, he would not stop talking about it in the most hilarious way possible and Mason just shook his head at his exuberant best friend in amusement, the evening had been helpful but he was also nervous about Jonathan Elric, oh well, he thought, the evening had been successful regardless but it almost nine now, meaning that his wife's party was about to start and woe unto him if he failed to get there on time.“Step on it Mark!” He shouted, for once encouraging his friend's total disrespect for law and order.“You are encouraging me to break laws.” Mark laughed aloud at this. “damn, the wife must be something else.”Mason hel

Scarlett was clutching at the sink and glaring at herself in the mirror, she blamed herself for everything, she should have known, plain and simple, people never changed and she thought she knew that and was already quite dogged in her emotions but what happened tonight proved that it was all a lie, perhaps deep down she was still a little girl yearning for approval and acceptance from the ones that wrecked her, perhaps when people looked at her that was all they saw, the desperation of a silly girl as she tried to play the game and advance in a world where she knew none of the rules.“Scarlett.” Michelle called as she pushed through the crowd, desperate to get to her sister. For once she was not all about scheming with Brietta and trying to manipulate any and everyone she could find, she pushed and pushed as everyone seemed to form a closely knitted bush.

Elicia and her son raced home like the devil was on their tails, in a way he was, the devil in this case was Scarlett's previously disgraced husband, none of it was supposed to happen like this, it was not supposed to be like this, this was never the plan. Unknowingly to both of them Mother and Son were thinking the same thing as the driver drove them away without asking questions. Jason glanced at his mother, Elicia always knew the worst moments to be brilliant, her plan admittedly was genius, but what Jason did not enjoy was being placed right in the middle of it, if he remained ignorant and she just went her ahead to try and save like every other mother would undoubtedly have done, then he wouldn't be in this mess that's for sure. He looked at his Mother again and sighed, perhaps karma was real, and she was actually as big a bitch as everyone said she was.Elicia on her part sneaked little

“Perhaps we should retire for the night.” Mason suggested as he hedged back slowly. He felt hurt that she doubted him, but he obviously could not fault her for it. He was the one that chose to lie, the one that decided to lock her out, something he just realized he might have done unconsciously. He tried to put himself in her shoes and realized he would have felt very betrayed indeed, it was not just a secret he kept from her as he had originally thought, it was a whole part of himself shrouded in secrecy and made unavailable to his wife, something he should have been accountable to at crucial times. This decision to lock her was not as necessary as he once thought it was, he made a cowardly choice, and he had to reap the result. He clenched his trembling hands in a fist.“I thought we were something special to each other Mason.” Scarlett whispered. “I mean not i

The news spread like wildfire and by the next morning it was the only thing people could talk about. The shocking story was pushed by every gossip column, entertainment news, and paparazzi from all around the state were going crazy. As usual everything that could be dug up about Mason Wilde was found, and some had come forth claiming to fellow workers in the past and extolling his virtues. Some even cried dramatically on screen saying that they never could have imagined the quiet man working alongside them could be the introverted billionaire, Ric watched all of this with a vein constantly bulging around the sides of head.“Pick up dammit.” He cursed as he paced the space of his living room, ever since that night at Rogue's he had known there was something wrong about Mason Wilde, although never never in his wildest fantasies could he have come up with the term “introverted

Scarlett woke up in the morning as cheerful as can be, she had forgotten everything that happened the previous night, after finally falling asleep in the Early hours of the morning, she woke up quite late and alone. Standing up drowsily, she tied her robe clumsily around her and padded down to the bathroom to wash up for the day. There was something niggling at the back of her mind that she chose to ignore. Scarlett looked at her reflection in the mirror as she splashed water on her face, and seeing her red puffy staring back at her, the events of last night hit her with the force of a freight train. Screwing her eyes shut, she processed everything that happened the previous night, and howharsh she was on Mason, and she fought the wave of regret that flooded through her.Moving to the sitting room, she noticed it was empty as well and heaved a si

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
