2024-10-29 19:42:56Scarlett 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 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

The media went crazy over Mason’s entrance, and Mason himself was shocked that he could behave so grandly, he was confident in his movements and his voice more assured than it usually was, it was like he put on a different skin, it felt sublime, it was wonderful indeed. He wondered if this was what actors usually feel when they donned on the skin of their characters and peel their own flesh away. Although it was alarming how easy it was to act, he wondered if it would ever become something of a habit, where he could wear different faces and step into different skins as often as he wished. Scarlett was thinking the same thing too, he thought. The way she came like a whirlwind and reminded him that he was anything but a loser, the way she single handedly came up with a closing speech for him that was as remarkable as his entrance. He knew though that she had not completely forgiven him, and he ached to wipe off the tension that still lingered betw

Ric paced up and down the length of their box at Rogue's as Brown looked on an expensive cigar on his lips, and he executed rapid short puffs from it, the feeling calmed him as he thought back on his humiliation, he thought back to Mason looking down at him from the tip of his nose and Brown's hand shook again in rage. That peasant, he thought. Wealth should not be given to just anybody and that Mason looked the most entitled as he climbed the stage like he lived his whole life on it. Brown needed to humiliate him, taking his power from would not be enough, he needed to humiliate him in different ways, and as usual his devious mind was already scheming. Scheming was what he did best after all, he was a master at it, and there was nobody he had met in his life that he could not beat. Nobody has cunning. Ric dropped his empty glass on the table with enough force to shatter it and made Brown flinch awake from his thoughts as he glared at the idiot. Ric w

Scarlett stepped out of the car feeling like royalty and held on to Mason. Fallon's was closed for the night, and as a result there was an eerie stillness to the air, giving it an atmosphere of magnificent beauty and terrifying splendor. The huge restaurant lumbered high up above them, and the glass of its walls took on the color of the night sky, and it was all a big gray black.But as they moved closer the whole building lit up at once and the extensive fountains flared up causing fluorescent light to dance on the crystal floor, and as Scarlett stepped into the wonder with her magnificent shoes, it was like stepping into diamond encrusted waters.“Oh my God.” Michelle breathed as she tore from the window and hurried down to see the real thing. “Michelle!” Scarlett laughed, and standing on the fluorescent waters she looked like a creature of the deep with her cascading curls.“Hello Mason.” Madam Rodney was for the first time in her life at a loss. She was used to greeting her son i

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.

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
