Chapter 6Tanya was in the sitting room, watching the window in never ending anticipation. Hoping that Mason would come home. It's been a week since the incident in the hospital and her grand mother was back to full health. But Mason was yet to come back home.The hospital was when she had seen him last and since then he hasn't returned, his phone was switched off and there was no way of reaching him.Tanya was getting worried because it was unlike Mason to just disappear with a word. He may not be the greatest husband, but he doesn't just do things like this. "don't tell me you are still thinking about that man, it's probably best like this. He left so your life can move on positively. "Tanya's grand mother said since she was also in the room."that man saved your life in the hospital MA and he is my husband. " Tanya replied. "I know, and I am still grateful for him doing so. But even with that, it doesn't make your life any easier if he's around. "Tanya's grandma, Mrs fei has b
Chapter 7 A black silhouette of a man sprinted quickly through the woods, running past the trees and obstacles as fast as possible.How the figure leapt and how fast it ran, it was almost humanly impossible. The person was fleeing from something and occasionally looking back to see if it had lost whatever was in pursuit. Mason could see the figure fleeing and he tried as fast as he could to catch up with the person. He was in pursuit of the person, and desperately needs to catch the person by all means necessary. It was in the middle of the night and it was difficult for taizai to keep track of the person fleeing, since there was no light and the moon was the only source of light. The trees as well did not help,because they provided cover for the person to run in between and hide. And again the person was wearing all black, making it harder to spot.Mason skidded to a stop immediately as he looked around frantically through the dark so as to discern where the person had ran off
Chapter 8Mason jolted awake, sitting up from the bed he now found himself. He looked around and discovered that he was in a hospital. His mind immediately flashed back to the searing pain he felt in his arm before he passed out and he hurriedly looked at his right arm.He saw a crest, almost like a tattoo just on his wrist before his palm, where doctors check for pulse. The crest had the insignia of a wolf's head.He was clearly surprised to see it there and was more surprised that it does not hurt anymore. A nurse walked in with a tray And Smiled at him "you're finally awake " she said. "yeah " he smiled back calmly. "how Long was I out? " he asked. " you were out for 6days, we got worried after the first day, since drunks don't normally stay out that long " she replied him. "six days? " he gasped in surpriseHe remembered what he was told before he passed out and he immediately got on his feet "shit shit, it's been so long already. Check your pocket, check your pocket "Just
Chapter 9 Derrick was in his house again, this time with the box in his hand. "mother, I'm back and I have the box or whatever. "He called out for her. He sat down and then placed the box on the table in front of him and leaned back on the chair as he looked at the book."mother! "He called again, already getting impatient. 'just what could be in the box and why was his family crest on it?' he thought to himself. "seems she's not in " he said and then shrugged before he sat up and reached for the box."I'll just do this without her. "He opened the box and brought out everything inside it. "a cube, a diary, a key, some funny looking liquid in a bottle, a pebble and a key "He said, naming the contents of the box as he placed them on the table."that's it? " he asked disappointedly. He took the box apart and could find nothing else inside and he knocked the box away."here I was expecting something that would help me win Tanya over. Maybe a priceless jewelry or something. But
Chapter 10. Three people sat round table in a dark room. Since the room was dark nothing could be made out of the trio, other than their voices as they spoke."so it has started again? " a male said.."yes it has, after three years. " a female spoke up this time.."yes, last time was three years ago and there were unfortunate sacrifices that left scars " the last person said with a feminine voice. "how do we address the situation this time around?" the only man in the trio said. "how else but to observe. " the first female said "no, we shouldn't just sit back and observe this time around.remember three years ago. There were casualties because we just sat back and watched " the last female said. "So, the casualties wasn't our concern. ""how can you say that after witness the problem it caused afterwards. ""what problems. You been a delinquent running around, unable to tell his left from his right ?"Both females continued to banter "so that's just how you see the situation. You
chapter 11 "I've never seen such a useless man before; he's so impoverished, so inert, so feeble!" "Don't forget to add lazy and a simpleton to that list, too. I don't know how the young mistress manages to remain with him; wouldn't she be worn out seeing a man like him every day." another servant remarked. "He simply has his face as a possession. How could they consider this to be their son-in-law. I've never heard of his family before; perhaps he's an orphan or his parents are struggling. I wonder what the elder master was thinking when he decided to marry the young miss to him." a fellow servant remarked. They didn't bother to speak more quietly since they believed they were superior to him. They were being impolite, but Mason was used to them because it was part of their everyday ritual. He was just a useless husband to the servant. He had parents once, he hadn't always been an orphan. his father was the old master's saving grace. While traveling for business, they saw the sh
chapter 12"Mason, What are your thoughts on this suggestion?""Grandma....The glare from the woman 's eyes was bright enough to remind him."I mean, lady Fei. you shouldn't do this, lady Fei. It takes a long time to turn a profit and adequate capital is needed. This suggestion on the other hand should be accepted because it won't cost you much money and will likely result in greater profits for you quickly.""Do you understand what he said, secretary?""Yes, old ma'am."She turned to face Mason with a look if disdain. "This is the only reason you're still here. Save for this, I'd have thrown your sorry ass into the streets where you belong."Mason's stomach sank. What little respect he had for the old hag before had vanished like smoke. Mason is flawless when it comes to business. His superior intellect and cunning mind make him an asset in the biz world and the company has been fortunate enough to acquire his services as the main intelligence liaison for the chairman. He is truste
Chapter 13Tanya finally arrived five hours later, but she didn't bother to say sorry to him.He could clearly see that she had hickeys on her neck, and she wasn't trying to cover them up.Seeing those marks made Mason more depressed than ever. It made him want to vomit. He refrained from speaking because he knew that if he did, she would be offended."Mason, why aren't the garments being washed?" was heard at the Hans mansion."There's a problem with the washing machine.""Why not wash them with your bare hands if the washing machine is broken? Can't you use your useless hands to wash these garments in the twenty minutes you have left?Mason and Mrs Fei were having a talk at the time.Mrs Fei, Mason's mother-in-law, began to ascend the stairs but halted midway and warned, "Tomorrow is my mother's birthday; don't dishonor the family and, if you can, don't step foot at the celebration. After all, the invited guests wouldn't want to mingle with a commoner like you." She said in a sarcas
