Mason's POVI rushed into the familiar room and my eyes searched around for the blonde haired girl I couldn't help but cling onto for the past few days like she was my invincible lifeline.There she stood with her back facing us all while Vivian stood right behind her with no word leaving both their lips. I could see Damien from the corner of my eyes but that wasn't my concern.She was my top priority, and the only one I had at the moment."Elena." My voice, which sounded worse than I expected, echoed in the silent room and made the angel who stared out the window suddenly turn to look at me with eyes blank with nothingness."Vivian, who is he?" She asked and her eyes glanced back to Vivian before moving to my hands which were stretching towards her."My brother and your husband." Vivian looked scared as she stared at me. What does that mean? Why would Elena speak like she doesn't remember who I was?I thought it all went with the previous attack but now it seemed I was starting to li
Mason's POVShe suddenly burst out laughing and her eyes crinkled slightly. Just as the laughter started, it went down so quickly that if I didn't know her I would have been amazed by her quick change in expression."You care for her so much. It would be so satisfying to watch her die, won't it?""You dare not. Remember, you are playing with fire." I fired back."You think your fire can touch me. Talk less of burning me, Mason. Haven't you realized that yet? Whether you like it or not, in this game you are the pawn and I'm the queen. It's either you accept my deal or watch her go down to nothing in front of you."This time I knew she wasn't joking and making empty threats, after all it would be her greatest joy to watch my doom but I won't let that happen. Not on my watch."What is it you want?" "You do know what I want perfectly, don't you Mason Brown?I narrowed my eyes at her. No I wasn't breaking this ice first whether she liked it or not. One of us would have to back out and it
Elena's POVI watched him leave the room, his form tired and rejected. I can't seem to remember where I knew him from but I knew there was something familiar about him. Is that something I must know right now? Everyone seems strange, yet oddly familiar. Everything looks strange, I felt my heart skip a beat as I remembered the time he held me when I was just about to fall with my body reaching the edge of the window. His hands wrapping around my back ever so slowly replayed in my mind and I couldn't stop myself from looking towards the closed door.Vivian walked towards me with someone behind her who was dressed in a butler's outfit, he is probably the butler of this house. I reached to hold her shivering body but when I hugged her, I realized she wasn't the one shivering but I was.The butler whispered some things in Vivian's ear before moving out of the room and I wonder if their relationship was more than that of a butler and a madam."Elena" my eyes moved towards her tear filled o
Vivian's POVI watched as she was taken away from the house before walking into my bathroom to take a shower. My hand washed through my hair and I supported myself up by resting my back against the glass wall.I looked towards the door through the foggy glass and my hair stood at the back of my neck as I saw someone watching me. I couldn't see the person's face as I was in the glass shower but he was surely watching me.I took a step back, almost slipping on the bathroom floor."Please leave me alone" I yelled at the top of my lungs as fear slipped into every part of my naked body so slowly it's about to consume my whole being.The silhouette stood outside there, I could feel those eyes on me even though I couldn't see them. Then he suddenly turned around to leave. I stayed in the shower for a few minutes. I didn't want to go out there and be caught by a controlling maniac.When I finally got out, I saw a pink note where he stood and I looked around quickly before bending over to pick
Michaela's POVI sat on the table with my eyes on the man who made my heart skip a beat but he didn't feel the same way I feel as usual. I watched him stare at the food while I placed a contract in front of him. Seconds later, I could see his hand clench into a fist.Why can't he just love me and leave her instead? Everyday, everything, it's only her and here I am struggling for his attention but that bitch gets to have it every hour of the day.I picked up the cutlery and my knife sank into the steak in front of me without a word. I don't need to speak now. We were both playing around before, saying he didn't know what I wanted was an obvious lie.If he doesn't want to admit it, I'll let him know without having to say it."Let's leave the fact that I am watching your every move. Instead let's switch to the contract in front of you, shall we?" My eyes widened slightly showing my obvious excitement. I wanted to frown at him but somehow, he always brings the smile out of me. A man as co
Elena's POVI opened my eyes slightly to see someone walking into the room. My blurred eyes cleared to see Rose standing before me with a big smile on her face which had a mixture of sadness and happiness."Rose" I called out like it was all a dream and she'll fade soon,my eyes pinned at her in the most tender way that I could think of."Yes, it is I. The one and only best friend of yours" she flipped her hair as usual while praising herself making me chuckle lightly at her antics. I remembered her perfectly Rose, the girl who made my life in school beautiful."You are as beautiful as ever, it's a pity you are on the hospital hey at the moment else I'd have asked you to marry me right here" she grinned while I made silly faces."Shut the hell up I'm still not gay" I replied and we both laughed out so loud.The little laughter made me forget about the fact that I was in the hospital bed being injected by all sorts of needles."I know you aren't, what about your brother, it's been long s
Damien's POVI stood beside Mason as he picked up his call with a frown on his face, the words said on the phone were audible to me even though the phone wasn't pressed to my ear.Looks like some past have to dig themselves up even when you try to shut them down."The truth would be out soon. You think your sister won't know about your evil deeds, don't think so mighty of yourself that you are that clean Mason Brown.. Just like you killed your parents, your sister would be scared when she finds out won't she? Michaela, who posted the truth at first, wasn't lying after all" The person on the phone spoke, making me puzzled. Is it possible for a young master to kill his own parents? I do not think that's possible, the person was probably just trying to get into his head.My eyes moved to the master's face and then I looked down at the tiled floor. We are doubtful that some things happening doesn't mean it won't happen or it hasn't happened."Who is this?" Mason asked while I adjusted m
Rose's POVI walked into the room again slowly watching her being taken care of by a nurse who helped her with her clothes. She's just like I remembered three years ago, still so innocent looking like she wasn't actually a monster laying low.Because of her I lost so much in my life, the man whom I was in love with and promised me forever. She took him away from me, all that was left was his cold body on the floor all because he wanted to save her, at the cost of his own life.I walked in quite slowly and silently that the two people in the room didn't even notice my arrival. If he was still with me, I wouldn't have to go abroad and get tortured daily. It is all her fault, and I would make her pay whether in this lifetime or the next. We would always meet and I'll make sure she feels the same pain I did years ago.My hand tapped lightly on the bed as I hummed a very familiar tune alerting the people in the room of my arrival. Elena suddenly held up her head and her eyes met mine, fea
Mason’s povThe rain poured down as the three of us stood in front of the grave without an umbrella nor a raincoat. Instead we just stood with our heads down letting the rain pour on our frames without a word. Elena fell to her knees, her lips pale yet she refused to leave the rain. She knelt down while Damien and I stood with our hands in our pocket, calls kept coming in from our phones but we both didn't lift up the device to even take a little peek.Why did they call? We knew why they called, we knew why they wanted our attention so bad. Because of the burning company, let it burn to flames and reach the point of bankruptcy after all she was the only reason I created the company in the first place. Now she's gone, I give her the company as her farewell gift.I took out the glass cigar box before walking to a corner which was covered from the rain and lit up the cancer stick. One drag...then another, Damien came to stand beside me, pulling out a tobacco to place between his lips
Third person POVVivian's eyes fluttered open, only to see someone she didn't expect to see again till she left this world.While she stared at her stalker, a woman in red heels walked towards Elena's room with a gun in her hand and she hummed a familiar tune in her head with her hands tapping on her gown in a particular rhythm and her steps towards the room skipping as she danced to the song in her head like a total psychopath.Her eyes widened with joy and her hair tied to a neat bun on her head while her short red gown gave her a very sexy yet dangerous feeling. Her beautiful heels tapped on the floor elegantly as she danced right in front of Elena's room.Elena heard the sounds of footsteps and turned to look at the door where the footsteps got louder but disoriented like the person was... dancing and humming a very familiar tune mixed with a very familiar voice.The door sprang open and Rose came in and shut the door slowly behind her before she moved to dance again while spinnin
Damien's POVI watched as she picked up the phone to talk to Elena, completely ignoring my presence even as I tried to make myself obvious by serving her tea or giving her fruits.Her eyes were still focused on the device in her hand without even turning her pupils for a second."You better attend to your man before he swells up like a bullied child" she paused, confused , then turned to look at me. Instead of looking like the bullied child like I did a second ago, I only looked back at her like I was actually bored and not at all seeking attention."Should we go out?" I asked but she didn't seem to be hearing her words as she was only focused on Elena who was in front of her. With the background, it was obvious she was still in the hospital. It seems she's going to be there till her arm heals completely and I'm sure that's where the therapist is coming to visit them both."Are you two getting closer?" Asked the mischievous little Vivian who seemed to have invincible horns in her head
Vivian's POVJust as we finished eating, he stood up to pay the bills before we entered the car of the driver who had been waiting for us for over five minutes."Sorry for the delay" Damien apologized while I rested against him, too tired to talk."It's alright" the man replied before driving off, I could hear him describe places in Europe but that's not what I was mostly concerned about, I just wanted to see it. The tower of love."We are here." I could hear someone say and without opening my eyes I knew it was Damien. He picked me up, placed me on my wheelchair while I struggled to open my eyes. Good thing he gave me a pair of sunglasses in advance."Where is it?." I looked around but couldn't find it. He stood behind me and turned my wheelchair around making me marvel at the beautiful sight which stood in all its glory."Let's go take pictures" he called a photographer he saw who walked over to take pictures of us."Sir pick her up instead, it looks too formal with the wheelchair"
Damien's POVI felt nervous as she walked over without speaking a word. I could feel a thin sheet of sweat slightly covering my forehead as she walked over to the big sign.Did she want to tear it down? She doesn't like something like this or maybe she wanted something more glamorous.My hands fumbled with each other and I pulled off my glasses to clean them before placing them back on. She got there with her shaky legs and I wanted to walk over to support her just in case but I know even if anything could happen I'll be there on time no matter what."Yes I'll marry you" Her words broke through my whole being and I shivered as my teary eyes met hers and a bright smile followed her words. I couldn't help but rush over to embrace her, before my hands could wrap around her she suddenly raised her hand to stop me."Where is it?" She looked around as if searching for something which confused me as I looked around with her too."What are you searching for?" "You didn't forget the ring did
Vivian's POVI sat in the plane looking around excitedly when he placed his hand on mine."Rest or you'll just tire yourself out" he spoke softly but I wasn't having any of it, I was already tired but I wouldn't tell him that, it's just a symptom. I'm sure he knew of the symptoms already, maybe he just wanted to act like it didn't exist and o wouldn't mind."No, I'm so bored, I want to play" I was cut off by a pair of soft lips smashing against mine. I mumbled and whined as he deepened the kiss and I couldn't help but feel fireworks burst behind my eyelids."There are children on the plane" a voice interrupted making me push away but the man in my arms wasn't allowing it as he pressed my body against him further but giving me a breathing space. I tried to push him away but his hands held mine. Even when I tried biting his tongue it didn't stop his wondering tongue as his tongue sank in to explore my whole mouth making me feel like an art being explored beautifully.I finally gave in t
Elena's POVI stared at the man who adjusted the bed cover once again with his mind unstable. "She'd be fine" this sentence seemed to be what he had been waiting for as he finally sat down but his legs moved up and down indicating he wasn't calm yet."What would you like to eat?" seeing he still wasn't stable but he was nice enough to ask for what I'll love to eat, my heart warmed up."Porridge" I didn't want to stress him. He might come back with the burger I craved for only to be sent back so that I wouldn't eat it. This almost made me pout like I was being punished but I held my sorrows and asked for plain porridge which literally had no taste."Is that what you really want?" He raised his head to ask me and I stuck out my tongue with a childish smile on my face. Of course that wasn't what I wanted but I couldn't tell him that unless he'd be torn between listening to the nurse and getting me the food."Yes" I should have known this man had something up his sleeves.He walked out f
Elena's POVI slowly opened my eyes squinting at the brightness of the room but someone stood up to block the sun which made me open my eyes wide easily."You need to train so badly. It seems everyone is just against you" were the first words I heard of the so familiar man and my heart skipped a beat then suddenly contrasted as he touched my face leaning towards me."I missed you" he whispered, his head resting on mine as my lips parted slightly and everything I felt like saying was taken back with a sob escaping my lips instead as I burst into tears."I'm sorry" my lips quivered while he shook his head with a small smile on his tired face."It's fine" I looked around to see the absent Vivian and a question mark seemed to appear on my face."What of Vivian?" Hearing this question, he suddenly paused and his eyes flickered around in suprise as if realizing something. He rushed out of the room without answering and I felt scared. Not caring about my situation, I pulled the needle out i
3rd POVMichaella grinned as she quickly picked up her phone to call the person who was on her mind. If she really needed help, it's so silly that she hadn't thought of Mabel before even though the two of them were sort of enemies.The phone rang just once before it was answered."And to whom do I owe this call" "Don't act so high and mighty. I need your help for something and I need it quick before it becomes useless" Mabel raised her brow with her mouth curling up onto a smile which would make anyone who saw her stay clear of her immediately."You do know everything depends on how good your deal is right?" Mabel tilted her head with her hand tapping on the kitchen table while every maid rushed to do their duties with no one daring to slack off."Actually it's not a deal, it's something we would both benefit from" "Does it have anything to do with ending Elena's life? Because that's what I crave for so bad right now""Yes, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so. She's at the
