“Hurry it up lady!’ Mark whispered scream at her and she almost yelled back that his obnoxious voice would be what would give them away if he was not careful but she didn't, and chose to roll her eyes instead as she settled into the seat beside him.
The sound of the car finally drew the reporters attention from her window and one of them cried that she was escaping, and they raced after them, begging her to come back or at least pose for a picture, and she laughed happily when they turned the corner and finally lost them. Mark glanced at her with a smile

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

Scarlett could read the fear in his eyes. He was being silly if you asked her, she knew men were a bit slow emotionally but she never thought they were this slow.“Don't be dramatic Mason.” She laughed happily as she bounced on her toes. “I would be glad to renew our vows.” ~“Did you say Peka’s Garden?!” Scarlett screamed at her thick headed husband and he just nodded cautiously, his eyes clueless, he really had no idea why she was screaming. Peka's was where her favorite celebrity couple got married and she could have sworn she told him about a million times already, but here he was interrupting her make up session and dropping the bombshell on her casually. Men, Scarlett rolled her eyes again.“Alright! You have to leave.” Michelle said as she came over to shut the door on Mason and he simply raised a brow at her drama. “Now!”“We have been married for five years, Michelle.” He smirked at her and she greeted her teeth. “It's a little late for this don't you think?” Michelle rolle

Mason smiled as he and Mark waited patiently for Jonathan Young. Mark, Mason and Young were the three musketeers in college, that was before Mark decided that his calling was to be a hobo and travel the world with a faded guitar and the most rickety van screaming at the top of his lungs lyrics he thought were too cool for the world and been high on an infinite supply of weed, and before Young decided to move to Asia to complete his degree in medicine. Mason chuckled a little at this and Mark turned to look at him with a glare on his face as he sighed impatiently.“I can tell what you are thinking, but I was simply on a world cruise! How often must I say it!” He yelled and Mason threw his head back in laughter. He knew Mark did not really do all that but it was funny nevertheless.“Anyways.” Mason said as he tr

“Crush them.” He said, two words only and even his friends jerked up as they stared at him, but his eyes were on Shawn and Shawn alone. The bastard still had the same cocky grin on his face as he downed yet another glass of expensive drink he did not pay for. Assholes like Shawn deserved everything bad they got. Those pompous ignorant bastards that believed that because of the money they inherited they were better than everyone else, and decided that they could trample on whomever they pleased. Shawn was one of the most rotten of the bunch of people like him, constantly flaunting rules and living without restraint, not caring who was hurt in the process of his living life to the fullest. Not even caring about that car he smashed into while drunk driving from a party and the dead girl that was brought out from the car. Everyone knew who did it. The cops knew. Their cliques knew. Hell the whole school was aware but no one could do anyt

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 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
