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 no

“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

Scarlett was trying not to frown as she was hurried to a dressing to be properly decked for the event. Something niggled at the back of her mind wherever she thought back to Mason's cheshire grin. He was cunning, this she had to admit, and could be fiercely brutal when stepped on, but she also knew that years of being stepped on and treated like had hardened him to a level she might never understand.Scarlett did not have much she feared, but she feared that one day Mason would drift out of reach from her, and it was a terrifying thought, but lately she often found him in somber moods, with an air of deep contemplation around him that he immediately dispersed when she walked in, and she always felt severely displeased by that particular habit of his.But now Singapore? She had never been to Singapore before, but from the little she h

The company you were talking about…” Scarlett let the question trail off, looking for the answer in his eyes, and when she found it, she turned away with a sigh, and Mason just watched silently, knowing that this was not the time to talk.“And why didn't you tell me?!” Scarlett asked angrily as she stared at him, and Mason stared back confused.“I mean you had plenty of opportunities to.” She continued, as Mason continued to stare at her curiously.“But you didn't! You know I hate secrets Mason, but it seems to be all you continuously do!” Scarlett cried, and Mason stared cautiously at her.“Oh, say something for chrissake! And stop looking at me like I ha

Ric continued to stare hard at his one and only nightmare, he wondered why he was not given a less impressive villain to battle in life time, he wished a lot of things at the moment, most of which made no sense. He started to blink slowly, trying to make sense of the words that left Mason's mouth.“Dad!” Emerald shrieked, dashing over to shove the stunned Ric to a corner while she cradled their limp father's head. Dazedly, Ric turned to look at her, wondering in his heart what she was doing.“You idiot Ric!” Emerald glared as she cried, and continued holding, looking at her brother's slow mental breakdown. He was absolutely pathetic.“Ric! Our father is out cold! What's wrong with you?!” She yelled, and Ric blinked again, his brain trying

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 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.

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
