Chapter Four

Mason

She has the most beautiful laugh; they could light up the whole room.

I stood by the fireplace, watching Emily laugh as she hugged her mother, Esther, and exchanged pleasantries with who I perceived to be her uncle. She called him ‘Uncle Robert’ a few times. I couldn’t help but look around my surroundings: the marble floors and expensive paintings on every wall, the high ceiling, and a big chandelier at the center of the hall.

It was like a house from a Hollywood movie,I had known she was well-to-do from the moment I pulled her out of a sleek Porsche but this mansion confirmed that “well-to-do” was an understatement. And now that she would be taking over White Nova Robotics as CEO soon, it felt so unreal I was speaking with such a powerful personality. White Nova had always been the company I wanted to work in before I built mine, this was all too much to take in.

I was tempted to pinch myself to see if I wasn't dreaming but that would only make me look weird.

So I just put on a friendly smile on my face and gazed at everyone.

Robert turned to me, staring at me from head to toe, he then extended his hand and I took it with a nod and squeezed it softly. “Thank you again Mason for accepting this request and saving my niece out of that wreck. Emily right here lost her father a few years ago in a car accident maybe if you hadn't intervened that would have been her fate, you are truly an angel sent from heaven. I don’t know what we would’ve done if you hadn’t been there.”

“I just happened to be there at the right time sir,” I responded with my hands in my pocket. “I’m glad to be of so much help, I’m just happy she is okay.” I glared at Emily, who was still laughing at something her mom said. She was such a happy soul. The best death experience hasn’t dulled her spirit.

Robert leaned closer,” I appreciate you taking this job offer but also I need you to understand this is a delicate job, I could have picked anybody else but I chose you because we need someone like you, kind-hearted And caring to ensure Emily is safe and with all the new changes going on at White nova, Emily needs all the help she can get, is that clear?”

I nodded, a serious look plastered on my face. “I will not let you down Mr. Roberts, I've also dreamt of collaborating with White Nova Robotics, this is like a dream come true, I promise not to take it for granted sir.”

“Good, I guess I will see you tomorrow Maze,”

“It's Mason sir,” I corrected and he grinned.

“Okay Mason, that should be all for now right?”

“Yes, it is, thanks Mr. Robert, I will resume tomorrow,” I said giving him a firm handshake. I turned to face Emily, realizing that up until now, I hadn't even known her name. “ and it's nice to finally learn that your name is Emily.”

She smiled innocently, glancing up at me wearing a playful look. “ yeah I guess it's nice to meet my hero officially,”

I chucked looking down at the floor rubbing the back of my neck then looking up into her eyes. “ I guess helping people is my thing. But it is nice to meet you, Emily, it's getting dark, I should get going.”

“Are you sure you don't need my driver to drop you off at your side?” She asked, her tone laced with concern. “ you have been up all day helping me from the hospital. You don't have to stress yourself—”

“I'm fine Emily,” I said, smiling down at her. “ I've got my car, and it's a short drive from here.”

Esther wheeled her chair to our direction waving her hands to call out attention.

“Listen to Emily, we have so many rooms here, you could stay in one of them, you should stay for the night and have dinner with us.”

I smiled at her and nodded,” Thank you, Mrs White, Offering me a job is already enough for me plus I have to attend to someone at home.”

I really wanted to accept but I badly wanted to run off and share this good news with Madison, finally, our prayers have been answered and she can now live the life she had always dreamt of.

Esther smiled, though I could sense she was a little bit disappointed I turned her down.

“Very well. We won't force you to stay if you don't want to, but just know that you are always welcome here Mason, thank you so much for saving my daughter.”

“You are welcome ma'am,” I turned to leave throwing a quick wink at Emily. She smiled softly, shaking her head. “ Take care, Emily,” I said, waving at her.

“See you tomorrow, My hero,” She responded, her voice warm and soft.

As I stepped out, the evening airbrushed my skin making me have goosebumps, it felt very satisfying and exciting.

As I headed to the car, I began to reminisce on the whole event, how I had saved her from the accident and the job offer. I wasn't expecting to land a job at White Nova, making it my first highest-paying job. Especially after the fight I had with Madison earlier this morning about me finding a job.

She would be so happy when she learns about this good news.

I chuckled to myself as I hopped into the car, inserted the key in the ignition switch watching the car come to life.

The drive to my street was longer than I thought, or maybe it was because I was taking notes of how many seconds had passed by. As I took a right turn into my street I slowed down the car, squinting through my fogged-up window at two figures just outside my house. Madison… and my boss, Mr. Montez.

They were standing too close to each other and it didn't take long to see what was going on. My stomach tightened as I watched Madison lean in to kiss him on the lips and he grabbed her butt like he owned them.

I gripped the steering wheel tightly barely trying to keep calm as I parked at the garage. Without thinking I stormed out of the car not forgetting to close the door and marched up to the house.

“Madison, what the hell is happening here?” I yelled, my voice laced with anger, confusion, and something else, betrayal.

They broke away from their embrace, both of them looking equally shocked to see me. Madison's expression went from surprise to anger as she crossed her arms across her chest, her gaze averting from mine.

“Oh, Mason, don't act so surprised like you didn't see it coming.” she snapped, clearly unbothered by my presence.

My gaze rested on Mr Montez, who seemed bothered too, and unapologetic. “ And you Mr Montez I work for you, you are supposed to be my boss.”I snarled, barely able to contain my anger.

He shrugged, offering nothing but a cold and apathetic look. It only made my blood boil in anger

“You know what? I am done, I quit this job, I'm glad I don't have to come to that dumb company or write a shitty resignation letter,” I said unable to stop the word from coming out of my mouth, “ it was a crappy job anyway. And you Madison—” I turned back to stare at her, she looked down at her feets feeling a bit of shame now.” I loved you Maddie, I didn't have much but I was willing to give you everything, you knew I would be coming home tonight, you did this on purpose right?”

She looked up at me trying to mutter words but I cut her off. “I was going to tell you about the new job I just landed and about everything that happened today, but instead you were here making out with my boss? Do you despise me that much?”

Madison scoffed, rolling her eyes. “ stop playing the victim, its getting stale, you pushed me into this, you are always off doing your own thing, sitting all night in front of your goddamn computer. Maybe, just maybe if you gave me a little attention and money I wouldn't be looking for it somewhere else.”

“You have to stop blaming me!” I snapped, tempted to call her names I would regret. “ I gave you affection, showed you love and the second things stopped working for me you ran off to someone else?”

She grabbed her purse with a look of pure defiance in her eyes. “ You stopped being available a long time ago, Mason. Maybe Mr. Montez is more of a man than you, he buys me expensive things and takes me out on dates, we have been dating for three years and you aren't even financially capable of marrying me, maybe I don't care if you are upset and hurt because you don't deserve me, I deserve more, I deserve Mr Montez.” She said holding his hands.

I stood there fighting the urge to cry.

“Fine,” I said, stepping back, “ Then leave.”

She smiled at me,” Gladly, I would happily leave Mason, the landlord is going to throw us out anyways. I hope your new little job pays your house ren, ill be back for my luggages.”

She huffed and stormed out along with Mr. Montez. I didn't bother watching her leave; I just listened to her footsteps until they faded away.

    Chapter Five EmilyImmediately after Mason left, I was left alone in the spacious living room with my mother, Esther, and my Uncle Robert.My mother hadn't changed at all; her warm, expressive brown eyes were just as I remembered, and her skin remained smooth and creamy. There might have been a slight hint of bags under her eyes, but she still looked as graceful and elegant as when I left home to go overseas.My Uncle Robert still looked as sophisticated as ever, he didn't age, he only put on a few pounds, and he still had the most piercing blue eyes.It was still a bit weird to be back home again, especially with everything that had happened to me earlier. The accident and the brief amnesia I had suffered from but their warmth made me almost forget about the throbbing headache that threatened to split my head into two.My mother held my hands and smiled at me, her eyes shining bright like the stars.“Look at how grown you have become Emily!” Esther cheered gazing at me in surprise.

    Chapter SixMasonThe alarm woke me up again, with a familiar reminder that I was single again. I felt a dull ache in my chest, the kind of pain that was hard to let go. I stared at the phone on the wooden table beside me feeling a strong urge to pick up the phone and dial her number. I still couldn't get over the fact that Madison and I were over. Three years ago, Madison walked up to me with a seductive smile on her face, her lips painted red and her blonde hair cascaded around her shoulders. She introduced herself to me and asked me to dance with her on the floor. Without hesitating, I accepted even though I sulked at dancing.She held my hand and the fast-playing song transitioned to a slow love song meant for couples. With a gentle tug, she pulled me in, staring into my eyes confessing that I had the most beautiful smile she had ever seen, although her breath reeked of alcohol I couldn't help but blush at her words.It was this night I realized she would be my girl, she was

    Chapter Nine Emily I stared at the machines, almost rusty and old, I turned them on and they were as loud as the last time I came here, before my father passed away. I turned it off and turned to face Mason, he was standing beside me, a clipboard in hand, patiently waiting for my next move. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair in frustration. “I think we are done for now,” I avowed. “Are you sure Miss Emily?” Mason asked, his face filled with concern. I gave him a warm smile that reached my eyes. “ Yes Mason that would be all for today and,” I paused moving close to him.” You can address me as Emily, enough with the formalities.” Mason nodded curtly, his demeanor calm and respectful. “ Anything you say, Emily, I hope tomorrow is better.” “I hope so too Mason,” I agreed, walking to the door. Mason followed behind me. “Don't be discouraged by the turn-up today, hopefully, your uncle Robert will have time to set things up.” I smiled and turned like I had just received insp

    Chapter Ten Esther I sat in the wheelchair that was positioned near the window so I could feed my eyes on the beauty of nature. My gaze averted from the view outside my garden to the photograph resting on my lap. It was a photo of my dearest husband Owen, he wore a smile on his face, his arms stretching across my shoulders. Little Emily stood between us, she was no older than seven, her small frame wrapped snugly in a yellow sundress, and her smile was wide too, and genuine. I could almost hear the laughter that went along in the moment. I remembered everything as though it had just happened yesterday. “Ready? Say cheese!” the photographer cheered and we all smiled at the camera then the flashing light followed. Owen looked into my eyes and kissed my forehead holding Emily close, I would give anything to see Owen again. I swallowed hard feeling a lump in my throat, tomorrow was going to be his Eighth anniversary and it was hard to accept he died and left me in this cruel world

I waited for no explanation. I just walked towards her and slapped her hard on the cheek. I had expected her to be scared and apologize but to my surprise, she hit me back with so much force that made me fall to the floor allowing me to hit the table, leaving a permanent blush on my cheek.Robert did nothing but stand over me, blaming me for what

I took a glance at the clock and confirmed my worst suspicions— I had overslept again. I groaned loudly, raking a hand through my brown hair before throwing off the covers and dragging my feet out of the bed.“Good morning sir.” One of the maids greeted me as I stumbled into the kitchen.“Morning,” I muttered, grabbing the cup of coffee she handed me. The caffeine was meant to keep my brain active but for some reason, my mind was spinning. “Have you seen Emily?”“Yes sir, she left very early,” she replied, his voice neutral.I froze mid-sip. “She left early today?”“Yes, sir. She mentioned having something urgent to handle at the office.”I scoffed, placing the cup down a little harder than I intended. “Of course, she always does.”Ever since the night out at the club, she has been acting distant and weird, and her early departure confirmed it.

My reflection stared back at me, pale and frightened for my life and my unborn child.My hands drifted to my belly clenching it tight, the gentle curve beneath my fingers was barely noticeable to the eyes but I knew deep down that something was inside of me, something that would grow to become a blessing. But how do I say I wasn't ready to be a mother yet? Or maybe I'm scared of my mother's reaction especially after she had set me up with Mr smith.I brushed my curls out slowly getting ready for the new day. Still, I couldn't suppress the voice that lingered in my head, shouting and wailing.What am I going to do?

Her back against me was like she was angry with me, but I wasn’t surprised ever since we got married. She had always been that way.I rolled onto my side resting my head up on one arm to watch her.“Hey, you are up,” I began slowly, my tone soft and friendly, trying to start the conversation in a light tone.Gianna opens her eyes and turns to face me. “It's hard to sleep with a lot of things on your mind.”I knew exactly where this conversation was leading to. It's been days since Emily, my niece, returned declaring her interest in taking over as the CEO of white Nova Robotics. The same position I've worked so hard to preserve all these years after the demise of my late brother.“ Emily is my niece, Gianna,” I stated softly, still trying to keep my tone in check.“She has been overseas all her life Robert,” Gianna cut me off sitting up in the bed, he

I swallowed hard as I pushed the door open to my office, Mason followed closely behind me, shutting the door softly, and the sound of its locking felt almost intentional. I looked up at him briefly as he stood in front of me.“Thank you, Mason,” I said, staring up at him, breaking the cold silence between us. “ for standing up for me back there when no one did.

It was thick with something sensual and steamy.I stared at Mason who sat across from me, his neatly ironed dark suit and tie stood out in the dark and my silver dress glimmered in the dark like the stars in the sky.The dress hugged my body so tight accentuating my slim waist and hips and the fabric felt so smooth against my body.It was the kind of dress one would wear to an occasion like this, an occasion that calls for celebration and happiness.A celebration of love.Mason stared at me intensely, his smile soft yet his eyes lingered on me with a look of admiration and lust.It was the kind of gaze you received before receiving a passionate kiss on the lips, or the kind where the love of your life is thrusting his cock i

She looked not older the twenty-three yet she oozed rum and whiskey, and it irked me deeply, why would a young girl at this age come to the club unsupervised, I still managed to force a smile, it was none of my business yet I was still angry that I had to be here all alone watching some group of drunk girls and boys display their stupidity.Or maybe I was just angry I wasn't having fun like they were, as if this scene wasn't enough two drunk couples stumbled out kissing each other with each step they took and this reminded me of my failed love story.My ex, Madi
