“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

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.

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

“Are you still going to work for them?” Mason asked aghast as he watched Scarlett dress up the next morning, he could not understand it, especially not after last night and he worried for her. There was nobody at that table last night with good wishes to her and yet she would insist on living and working with them? Mason shook his head and wondered briefly if it was a woman thing before he dismissed the notion from his mind with a quiet thanks to the heavens that Scarlett was not a mind reader. He looked at her again and noticed the determination in her eyes, she was not going to back down from this. She had every right to be there and she knew it, but Mason was still worried and as long as she insisted on affiliating herself with that family, he would always worry.“I will be fine Mason.” Scarlett sang for the up tenth time as she hopped around in one shoe, looking for a place to seat. Mason sighed and rolled his eyes before clutching her on the arm.“You are so clumsy sometimes.” He

“And be sure to address this issue with your d*mb Jason.” Madam Rodney said in a dismissive voice, as she walked slowly back to her seat. “I am sure he is somewhere trying to conjure an equally not so bright plan. I will not stand for foolishness.” Madam Rodney's voice was void of emotion as she spoke slowly. She was giving no room for disobedience and Elicia had to put in a great effort to quell the spark of rebellion in her that always seemed to rear its head whenever her mother made decisive statements like this. But she also knew the consequences of said rebellion and as a result fought against herself actively. She needed to be cautious it seems, her place in the family's fortune was now more uncertain than ever. She and her son were feeling more like outsiders of late. The will was yet to be decided, this much she knew, so for now she was willing to bid her time, willing to lay low no matter how painful it will be. She would do it for her future, their future. No matter how hard
