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
Shawn was going mad, slowly but surely, he could feel it. Everything was crumbling before his eyes, his mother was raging, and the staffs looked at him with anger and disappointment, news of his stupidity had gone viral and everyone in the business industry that was still associated with Segi Group regarded the stocks daily with apprehension and eyed him warily, he had that it was only a matter of time for him to be called in before the board, and as he stared at his forlorn assistant, he nodded slowly, but the lady still remained, shuffling around timidly, and at this point he lost the remaining lid on his control and exploded.“Are you deaf?!” He screamed and she shrank back, and wilted into herself. The blonde he had once found attractive was nothing but a nuisance now. “Leave me at once!” He yelled again, prominent veins popping around the sides of his head.
“What the hell man!” Mason whispered yelled the moment he could grab hold of Young again and he laughed, the laughter a sound of pure amusement, he was quite of his friend. Mrs Lucy Martinez was one of the most vicious predator around, but her viciousness was masked with soft giggles and flirtatious grins and while to other people it made her more easy, approachable, but to Young he knew her well enough to recognize it for what it was, a mask she wore and changed to suit different occasions, and if anyone saw that side of her and thought that she was the devil she really was, then that person had not had the opportunity of meeting with David Martinez, her wolf of a husband. David made it a habit to prey on anyone with enough meat for him to feast on, and if the life of their son had not been placed solely in hands, then he was absolutely sure he would have fallen victim, that was one of the reasons his hospital was so well sponsored by the
