2024-10-29 19:42:56Shawn 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

Mason dodged through the crowd with Young on his heels, he was searching for his wife's family, he wondered why Scarlett told him nothing about her family's invitation to one of the most prestigious fundraising events, but he knew it was not wise to question her just yet. Living for some years now, he knew that she was more complicated than she seemed, she was easily triggered when she felt attacked and got on the defensive, so he would not ask, not until she came to him with the full story herself. So he strained his neck till he found them cluttered close to the edge of the crowd, they were in the party but still not quite a part of it, it was a subtle kind of rejection that only the people of high society could muster. They all looked dejected, it would have been funny if Scarlett was not right there as well with the exact same expression on her face. Mason sighed. It was hard knowing he had to help them. It almost left a bitter taste

Young swallowed his drink hurriedly and moved into the crowd as he caught sight of a familiar face. Now it was not just a familiar face, it was the dreaded kind, the kind he had not seen for years now. She was wearing a lovely blue dress with dangerously high slit at both sides, her shiny red hair was high upon her head like an expensive crown of amber flowers, and the rose shaped earrings dangled on her shoulders as she threw her head back and laughed her signature laugh that Young still knew so well and her bare neck glistened under the rays of light. She was still stunning, Young observed, and for a long time he had hated her for preying upon his friend like a determined succubus. As if sensing his eyes on her she turned around fully and faced him, and he watched as she squinted slowly, watching him intensely before something like determination dawned in her eyes and she began to move forward. Juliet Roberts. Young thought with a bitter taste in hi

“Whew.” Young breathed as he laughed together with Mark and Mason in the Wildes' new home. He was recounting the past events to Mark and the other was having a fit as he listened, sprawled on the luxurious sofa and laughing his brains out, while Mason sat with pursed lips, pretending not to listen to the conversation and work on his laptop, while his friends had the time of their lives as Young recounted his varied expressions throughout the experience to Mark and conveniently forgot to talk about the parts he played. Mason rolled his eyes again.“I cannot believe the nerve of Juliet.” Mark hollered as he shook his head. “Some people really do not change.”Young nodded as he thought about what Mark had said. “I guess you are right Mark.” He nodded. “Makes me wonder i

“Did you hear that?” Mason asked Rita after Brown left, raising a brow as he stared at her. Amusement lightening his eyes to a clear blue. Rita let out a small giggle as she gathered her things and stood up.“I heard from him, Sir. Quite well might I add?” She shrugged and Mason laughed, but he knew quite well it would be foolish to underestimate someone like Brown. The lifting of the decree would happen in three days' time, and he also knew that sitting around and chit chatting was a sure way to lose, so heaved himself up, still shaking his head with a slow and low chuckle.“Why? I think he just threatened me!” He exclaimed and Rita laughed along. Brown was a formidable opponent, that much was clear now.“He definitely did, Sir.&rdq

The chaos around him finally woke Ric up, he sat up slowly and stared around, unable to comprehend what had happened, why was his head aching so much? Why did he feel groggy? What exactly happened? He could not pinpoint it, but he knew he had to stand up right now, shaking the dizziness from his head, he tried and fell right back on his ass.“Oh my God!” Emerald gritted her teeth as she stared at her brother on the floor, and the negative attention he was busy attracting to himself and to her. Every press was not good press, she tugged on his shoulder. “Get up right now!” She shrieked. “Everyone is watching.” She paused and looked around frantically. “Dad is watching!”At this point Ric stumbled to his feet, regardless of the groggy feeling he felt, as soon as he stood, he f

Mark evaluated the vast expanse of land before him in wonder and astonishment, he really could not comprehend what his friend was trying to do here, but he respected it, should it work everybody would scramble for a part of it, it was a vision he understood well, but he wondered if Mason himself understood the magnitude of what he was trying to accomplish, it would not be an easy feat. And everyone was bound to attack him as doing this would ruin the balance of power in the industry. Nobody would sit idly while another is rapidly gaining rise in power. Him purchasing the Verona Park had already put him under inspection whether he knew it or not, or liked it or not. He was being monitored now as a person of interest, and Mark knew his friend, while ambitious and clever, would still never be as cruel and as manipulative as the big sharks in the pond. He was just not brought up that way, and Mark dropped the pair of binoculars he had been using to view t

“To Mason?!” Madam Rodney hollered furiously. “You could not find a better person to sell my legacy to?!” She screamed and Jason flinched, shuffling closer to Elicia for support, he really was quite bemused. For the life of him he could not grasp the turn of events, which was quite strange considering that he spent most of his precious days scheming and yet seemed to understand precious little about it. The reason however was quite clear and simple. Jason was just not very smart. I mean he liked to pretend he was, but most of the time he feigned confidence to hide the real bumbling fool that he was inside, and this was something Jason knew quite well but something that he refused to take the blame for and was more than ready to blame it on genetics.“Would you say something!” Madam Rodney yelled a command again as soon as Mason had walked out leaving the Rodney family gobsmacked. Scarlett shook her head in silence, and the action brought her unwanted attention.“You!” Madam Rodney tur

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
