Mason's POV“Michaela? Hi, what are you doing here?!” I asked as she walked towards me embracing me. She kissed my cheek and I saw Elena's facial expression change.“I'll head inside now, Mason. I'll be waiting in your office.” She said as she walked towards the entrance of the office leaving me behind. I had a feeling, she didn't want to be involved or feel jealous. But then why would she?Michaela turned my face with her hands so I was facing her. “Who's she? Forget about her, you haven't heard my answers to your questions yet! I came to see you actually, I really missed you alot.”“So you're telling me you came to see me because you missed me. How do you expect me to believe that? We haven't seen in how many months and now you show you saying you missed me.” I asked, looking at her suspiciously.She laughed. “Why do you sound like it's wrong for me to miss you? I only said I missed you not that I want to fuck you or something. Chill. And it seemed like I was replaced already.” “Re
Elena's POV“It hurt? I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to hurt that much. From here on out, It'll hurt much more worse.” I smiled at her, holding her hair as I walked out of the elevator. Everyone watching us gave me so much joy.I kept walking till I got to the entrance of the company. Pressing the open button, the doors opened and I dragged her with me outside. “Let go of my hair, you bitch! How dare you do this to me. Do you know who I am? I can mess up your life in just a—-.” She was cut short by my palm on her face.“Firstly, I'll talk and you'll listen. You can do that, can't you? I don't even know why I'm asking. You'll do just that to avoid getting slapped again. I have enough time to deal with trash like you!” I let go of her hair. I don't want more than the attention we were already getting. It'd harm Mason's and his company and I didn't want that.“Now, let's talk like civilized human beings.What do you want from Mason? You had better answer well or risk getting slapped ag
William's POVI was livid. I couldn't believe that I had lost Elena to Mason.“What do we do now, Williams? It looks like you lost already. Why do you even want Elena? There are other girls much better than her.” Mabel asked as we walked towards the car.I couldn't even think properly anymore. Elena had played a reverse card on me and I wasn't going to let her so easily. I was going to make her life miserable and I knew just the best way to do it.“Get into the car, Mabel! I need to talk to someone real quick.” I said as I threw the keys at her. I walked hurriedly back into Elena's house then I rang the bell.Her mother's voice asked who it was. “It's Williams, Mrs Walker!”I could hear her footsteps as she walked towards the door. Opening it, she sighed. “Oh dear, my husband and I were just discussing about you. Come on in dear!” She said ushering me in.I walked into the house and sat down. I looked at Mr Walker, he didn't have fear in his eyes anymore for me.I turned to face Mrs W
Elena's POVMy heart thumped as he came closer to me. This man was doing a number on me. I pushed back the chair, then stood up. He looked at me puzzled. “I came here to get signed up for the training. We haven't done that yet.”He looked at me and smiled sheepishly. “Why did you push the chair with so much force? What did you think I was going to do to you?”“No, no it's nothing like that. I just felt we should uhm … just get me signed up already. I'm sure Vivian must be waiting for us to come back."“Alright dear, let's go get you signed.” He said taking my hands in his and I felt that spark again.Walking into the elevator, he retorted. “Elena, what did you think I was going to do back there? You acted impulsively like I was trying to kis–.”I put my finger on his lips and tried to shut him so he won't finish the sentence. He chuckled, bringing down my fingers from his lips. “I wasn't trying to kiss you, Elena. I just wanted to talk to you calmly. If I wanted to kiss you, I wouldn
Mason's POVWhat were this documents? How did they get to the media. Who did this? I took the phone from Derek, prying into it more.Elena edges over to my side, “Are these true? You really did all these, Mason?”I shook my head, “How can you actually believe that I'll unalive my own parents. Losing them has been hard on me and yet you think I'll do this? You have to believe me when I say I didn't.”She looked lost as she gazed at me. I could see the confusion in her eyes. “I don't want to believe this is true but then who could have released this to the press? This is such a huge blow to you. Can you think of anyone who knows about the death of your parents or if possible, anybody around you when they died?” She asked me, her voice low.“No Elena! My parents burial wasn't all that big because we were in a lot of debts.I built this all up myself. It's as though someone just want me gone at all cost. Like they want my business gone.”Derek walked around, he panicked as he stutted. He s
Elena's POV“Why are you crying?” Mason asked. I walked closer to him. Worry on my face. “Who's that, Mason?” I asked. I had a feeling it was Vivian. Oh no, she must have seen the article.Mason looked at me, mouthing Vivian. I didn't wait for him to finish as I hurriedly walked out of the room, heading to his office to get my bag. Vivian was still a young girl and news like this could influence her mental state badly.Getting into his office, I bumped into Rodney. “Hi Rodney. Was it you who picked Vivian up from school?” I asked impatiently as I put my phone back into my bag.He nodded. “Yes ma'am, I did pick her up from school. Is there any problem? It's her everyday routine. She doesn't come to the company except she feels like it. And you seem rushed. Are you heading somewhere?”“Yes Rodney, I'm heading home. I'm pretty sure you're avoiding that topic and that's why you're feigning ignorance. Vivian must have seen that article and she called Mason. She needs someone beside her an
Elena's POV“Vy? Why is there blood on your head? What did you do to yourself?” I asked as I released my hold on her.She sniffed. “I had an injury there earlier today. I fell because I was lost and I didn't watch where I was going. Don't panic. I promise it's nothing much. I'm really fine. I just need my brother to clear this mess before it gets any worse.”I looked at her. She was still too young to be going through all these. But I didn't know how to console her, so I just looked at her and smiled then pat her head.“Have you eaten? Rodney told me the chef said you've been crying since you got home. Why would you think your brother killed your parents? He's not a psychopath. He's got a heart too.” I asked looking at her with concern in my eyes. She avoided my eyes by bending her head.“I couldn't bring myself to eat as I lost appetite after reading that article. I'm afraid the articles might be true. My brother isn't all what you think he is, Elena. Apart from shutting himself out
Mason's POV“No, that's not what I meant. I was just telling how hectic school was for me today and how I just love being at home.” Vivian said, her voice shaky.“Are you sure that's what you both were discussing? You kept quiet when I entered unlike all other days. Are you sure you both weren't gossiping about me?” I asked as I walked to the dining table. “And why are you guys just eating dinner?”“Nothing. I didn't have appetite earlier and that's why I didn't eat. How did it go? Any luck with it?” Elena asked, getting up from the table.I nodded and walked towards her. “Why are you standing already? Sit down and finish your food. Don't mind me at all. I just came home regarding what you said before you left. There is progress though. We've managed to stop the main data where it seems to be coming from and Dominic is tracking the blogger.”“Don't you think you should involve the police? I feel they'll make the investigation more easier?” She asked, worry evident in her face.“I'm no
