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
“Is that Gran?” Jason asked curiously from where he sat, too lazy to go and confirm his suspicion himself, Scarlett rolled her eyes at the situation in front of how, wondering what satisfactory answer they were going to give Madam Rodney about why her grandson's face was black and blue, Scarlett groaned as this, wishing there was a way to simply vanish. Surely some things could be easier when one had the ability to make them so.“What are we going to tell Mother?” Vivian asked her sister with a panicked expression and Elicia shrugged as she too considered the question.“The truth.” She snapped as she continued rubbing a cold pack all over Jason, and Vivian's eyes flashed with a defensive light.“And what truth is that?” She ask
Scarlett had always been terrified of Ric’s inordinate affections towards her, and tried as much as possible to make it known how uncomfortable she was, but some men can simply not be reasoned with. The more she said no, loud and clear might she add, the more he was convinced that she was playing some kind of game to get him to hold on tighter.Scarlett had been through many uncomfortable moments in her life, but somehow the way Ric’s seemed to linger on her being when she walked into a room had always made it to the top ten most uncomfortable and revolting moments. She shuddered thinking about him.She was quite shocked to see the tears in his eyes earlier, but she knew Ric enough to recognize the genuine anguish reflected in them, and she could not help the frown that covered her face at the sight. She has always made h
Scarlett stared at Mason's aghast expression anxiously, wondering what on earth was happening, she tried not to feel wronged about what was happening, she knew who had done this, who despicable enough to do something like this, and it was quite sad really, and she might have been inclined to pity him, but not when he had seeked to ruin her, and she had to admit to herself that this was definitely a step up the non violent spats they used to have.“The hell?!” Mason roared angrily, and Scarlett turned to stare at him anxiously as he did this, and saw how tensed his shoulders were, reaching out, she grabbed the remote again, and turned on the TV.The color drained from her face as she saw the pale but elegantly dressed young man on the Saturday Live With Shane Landon as he fidgeted on his seat and rubbed his hands ove
