Madam Rodney knew that she had done something wrong when the crowd went wild and it was not the good kind. She sat down trembling and spent from her outburst. She knew that she had done the stupidest thing she could have ever done and judging by the looks she was receiving from her family, they thought the same.
Vivian was thinking to herself, this was escalating fast, too fast, and she needed to extricate herself from the situation before it became even worse. She knew that right now the sympathy of the crowd lay with Scarlett, and as she stared around, she knew what she had to do. Or at least what she thought she had to do.
Standing up, she marched over to where Elicia sat and bent down to strike her on the face with her hand, and the slap echoed in the stunned silence.

Suffice to say, the evening with Shane Landon was a complete bust, and the Rodneys were in much deeper shit than they had ever been in. They were unable to show there faces in public after that humiliating episode, so they shut themselves off in the Rodneys mansion and waited anxiously, to others this might have been a sign of solidarity, but to the Rodneys who could barely stand to look at each other in the eye, it was torture.Michelle sighed as she scrolled through her channel, the precious ten thousand followers she had managed had reduced to six thousand drastically and Michelle's heart dropped as the figures continued to fall before her eyes.“Damn it!” Michelle yelled, jumping to her feet angrily, and searching for the closest thing to throw which was a vase. Her mother, aunt and Gran all jumped up in alarm as the
Sat with Mason and they both stared in silence at what was going on in front of them. Scarlett had a horrified look on her face as she gazed forward and stared with wide eyes.Mason on the hand was staring with amusement coloring his every feature. He was not even going to give them the time of the day but he could see a particular look Scarlett was sporting and knew he had to do it, if only for her sake and nothing else.“Oh God, it's happening.” Scarlett mumbled in awe, and Mason turned to steal a glance at her expression, it was one that slowly morphing to amusement as she continued staring.“We are sorry.” Vivian muttered, her head bowed and a bitter taste in her mouth. She could not believe what was happening, but they had no choice, Mason
They were all waiting patiently, even the Rodneys were waiting at this point for Emerald to do something, and she could see the guards looking at her as if they thought she was the most ridiculous being to ever grace the earth, and Emerald swallowed her scream of frustration at the ridiculous situation. She could not remember the last time she had had to apologize, but now being asked to apologize to Scarlett, someone she had really grown despite was even worse, Emerald thought, her stomach roiling.“Is that a no then?” Mason asked, already feeling irked by her defiance and the stink eye she had on.“Listen, I know it's not my place, but you should be able to withdraw when you lose Emerald.” Michelle said sympathetically, but Emerald glared at her with fire burning in her irisis.
Scarlett was never a fan of breaking promises, she had always been that way for a long time, but something about Emerald had always rubbed her the wrong way. And even now as she struggled to apologize, mouth twisting as if the words physically hurt, Scarlett could not bring herself to feel an ounce of pity for the prideful human. So she opened her mouth and said the first thing that came into it, “No”“Are you fucking serious?!” Emerald screamed, looking at Scarlett murderously, the air was suddenly so chill that the security team were forced to surreptitiously stand between them, but at that moment, Emerald could not bring herself to care about what anybody thought of her.“Beg me.” Scarlett said simply, staring at Emerald with a fixed stare. Michelle sat down on her comforter none too gently and picked at her nails again and again, in the exact same way a brilliant mastermind and scheme master would, and she could barely refrain from rubbing her hands together with a villainous laughter, who knew evil could be so fun? That's a joke of course, Michelle was not attending her first rodeo, as you can probably tell.“I still cannot stop laughing.” Brianna cackled from her place on the high chair as she spurned over again and again in slow motion.“What can't you get over?” Michelle asked curiously, anything to distract her from constantly looking at her phone and waiting impatiently for the views to start pouring in.“I mean Emerald pretends to be that bitch wherever she goes, it's so hiThe Unassuming Mason Wilde Chapter 85
“You do not think Emerald would retaliate, do you?” Michelle asked softly, the rush of vandalism burning out, and Brianna cackled, normally she would have joined in, but this time, it only made her uneasy.“What?” She laughed nervously. “You do not think she would be able to trace me, do you?” She Brianna nervously, hating the continuous laughter she emitted from her huge mouth.“Trace you? Of course she would.” Brianna laughed, and Michelle was speechless before launching to her feet.“What?! You promised me the account was untrackable!” She yelled, and it only made Brianna laugh more, as she brought up a long nailed finger to wipe a tear from beneath her lids. Brianna would not have minded watching this fiasco from the sidelines, but she knew sooner rather than later Michelle would cough up and her name, and she would be dragged down, and that she, unlike Michelle was not family, would not receive nearly as much clemency as Michelle was receiving, so has much as she would have loved to stay and watched, she also knew that she had to move, and quickly.Cries could be heard from the living room downstairs, and thumps as well, Brianna shuddered, this was not how it was meant to go. She was supposed to be at home by now, safe, she was not supposed to be caught here.Running to the high windows, she peered down cautiously, hoping it was something she could jump through, but it was not, it was suddenly ridiculously high, and she stepped back with a gasp, no way she was jumping from there, and noThe Unassuming Mason Wilde Chapter 87
“Ric!” Scarlett screamed as she made her way inside, and Ric turned to the intruder with a startled frown, that slowly turned to a demented Scarlett when he saw her standing defiantly by the door.“Ah, look who it is.” He crooned. “The bride of the hour.” He exclaimed, and Scarlett resisted the urge to punch his ugly face in.“I have not been a bride for the past five years now, Ric.” Scarlett sighed with irritation. “Get over it.”Ric hated her at that moment, he hated her defiant remorseless face, he hated that she could not even bring herself to apologize even after ditching him all these years, he hated that she was more than content, he hated her happiness, and wished for nothing more than her suffering, and he
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
