2024-10-29 19:42:56Ric glared at his reflection in the mirror. When you hear the phrase, plans go wrong then they were definitely talking about him. After the whole fiasco with his father and Emerald, he was resolved to do something, and the more he thought about the numerous embarrassments he had faced with Mason involved, the worse his anger got, till it had risen to unimaginable levels. But when he hired the fool standing before him to give Scarlett Wilde, the wife of Mason, a scare, he definitely did not mean on such a profound level. And as he listened to the news, he was stunned to realize it has very well turned to a national crisis. Ric sighed again. He supposed he should feel good about himself at least, if nothing else he had managed to cause such a level of unsettling within the great public. But as he thought about it again, he realized that might not be such a good idea. He just hoped he had appeared well wishing enough in all their previous meetings

Mason walked thoughtfully ahead, his secretary was behind him, and Rita was beside him with about ten executives walking by his side. He was there physically, but he was also not there. The thought of what Scarlett was up to was keeping him preoccupied, and he wished he could be there with her, but he was not and he knew he was being distracted for nothing. His security team was top notch, and he was confident that they would be able to keep her safe.“What do you think Sir?” Rita asked, peering into his face expectedly, and Mason jolted to a stop when he realized that everyone was now peering at him curiously. Truth was that he could not recall a thing Rita had said, but he also knew he could not give it away. Clearing his throat abruptly, he glanced at the watch on his wrist, stalling for time.“Ah yes.” He

Mason hung his head as he listened to Scarlett recite to him a long list of reasons why he should not treat her like the flower she was not. He understood Scarlett's wish for independence, and not just independence, for the ability to not be a liability. He knew more than anything that she was terrified of holding him down and he understood, not just that, he loved her even more for her determination and drive and for the iron will she possessed. She had been through a whole lot these past few years, Mason knew that clearly, more than half of her suffering had stemmed from people's disapproval of their union and Scarlett's strong headedness as she refused to listen to what was honestly common sense. Mason had known of his many shortcomings, and it seemed the only one that failed to recognize his shortcomings for what they were was his Scarlett. She had accepted to marry him even though she was dying of fright and had to deal with her family turning on her and having to tie herself t

Emerald stared at Jason as she wondered silently if she could count on him to shield her from the potential onslaught of rage the Wilsons were bound to suffer from the Wildes should her plans go awry. It was something she was frankly afraid to think of, but she had to prepare a contingency plan just in case. It was not a pessimistic move, just her trust in Ric to make a foolish move that was guaranteed to ruin them. Those seemed to be his specialty after all, she thought with a scoff. Jason glanced at her from where he sat staring at the TV.“What's going on?” He asked her, but there was a nonchalance to his tone that Emerald hated, this certain degree of non attachment he was capable of showing, an aspect of his character that was not so apparent at first glance. She sighed and shook the thoughts from her head. She needed to concentrate. Concentrate.“Nothing.” She shrugged before standing up to approach him, her hips swaying as she moved even closer and settled down close to him to

Kain frowned as he received the simple and direct message telling him to come to a very quiet location in the old casino for the remainder of the money. He sat quietly and puffed smoke upon smoke from his mouth as he twirled the stressed out cigar around his thumbs with a distant look on his face. He was honestly curious to know what they thought of him. Do they think him simple and ignorant? He wondered, this had been his job from the moment he grew to realize he needed a job and for them to think him so stupid was definitely not a flattering thought. He was really going to kill Ric, he thought. He was going to paint him with his own blood. Sitting up slowly, he recalled his brief conversation with the famous Mason Wilde.Mason had picked after the first call and Kain smiled to himself as Mason introduced himself, and he proceeded to the same feeling like a puppeteer as he played aroun

“Why on earth was she here?” Mason asked, incredulous. She had stormed out in the middle of their acting and now they were both wondering what really brought her as Scarlett tilted her head in deep thought. She really had no idea. Emerald was shifty and sketchy, but one thing that she was sure of was that Emerald thoroughly despised her and that the visit was not the cordial one Emerald had tried to portray. But she Still could not figure it out from the sudden visit, to the tea and to the weird examination of her home, it almost felt like Emerald had come to feel something out as she stared at Scarlett heatedly and asked intrusive questions, there was a purpose to it, and Scarlett squinted till her head hurt, trying in vain to figure it out.“Honestly I have no idea.” She finally said with a shrug and Mason nodded, spearing a piece of grilled fish on his fork before p

Mason and Scarlett drove up to the Wilson's mansion that night, decked up to the nines. Mason smirked quietly to himself as they both surveyed enemy territory from the car they came with. Scarlett had been positively terrifying when he told her the information he had managed to garner. Truth was that after talking to Kain in the coffee shop, Mason was undecided on what to do next. He wanted to tell Scarlett the truth, so she could realize the truth in everything he had been trying to say when he repeatedly warned her about her family and friends, even to the detriment of their relationship because he knew very well that he often displeased her when he said things like that, but he could not help it then, it was something he could just feel. But Mark had been quick to set him straight by reminding him that Scarlett was brave and fierce and stronger than they all gave her credit for, and besides that Mason himself would be the one in trouble should it come to light later, the truth ab

Mason smirked openly at Ric as the latter watched him with burning eyes. He could see the hatred for him written clearly across Ric’s face, even his father could, as he stared back at Ric with a hard expression, silently demanding he masked his emotions, but masking what he was feeling at the moment was not one of Ric’s strongest suit as he ignored his father and glared at Scarlett as she put the beef into her mouth. It was not the fact that she was eating it that hurt Ric's pride so badly, it was the message it sent across to the table, and this too in front of his father, now Ric knew he attempted to have a little fun with Scarlett some days ago, but to him that was not nearly enough reason for the pain and humiliation he was currently passing through and too make it worse in front of his family, he closed his eyes as his knife digged into the ceramic plate and produced a screeching sound that caused everyone around the table, including the servants to glare at him.“What's the matt

Scarlett was absolutely satisfied with her revenge on Ric, now she knew that logically it should not have the same weight compared to what he did to her, but she was satisfied nonetheless.She knew Ric’s ego, and she knew they severely bruised it last night, in fact she knew that what they did was enough to drive Ric to tears, but she could not find in her to feel remorseful, he was an absolute idiot and she hoped he realized it, her thought drifted to Mason and how he did everything in his power to help her, even putting himself in possible danger, she scoffed at his ridiculousness but inside she felt warm, protected and safe with the knowledge that she had never once regretted her marriage to Mason, and what's more, recently it is even beginning to look like the best thing that had ever happened to her.Although t

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
