Elena's POVI have never seen someone fight so hard for me. At this point, I couldn't help but want to be with Mason so bad. I looked at my father and then at Williams whose smile reminded me of the day he stabbed me.“Taking the case to court means revealing your dirty deal to the whole world, knowing who you are. I'm very sure, you wouldn't want that to happen. So now, here's my deal. As you know, Elena is now my own wife and I have every right to her. It is there on that paper. I'll advice that whatever deal you had at first be kept still or if you don't want that, I'll triple the amount again.” Mason said, confidence beaming in his voice.My father's eyes widened, he looked at Williams and then at Mason. “It is settled then, Mr Brown you're now my son in law. I hope you treat my daughter right and well, I'll dimiss the meeting now. We can all rest.”Mason looked at me, he reached out for my hands and I put mine in his. He rubbed and kissed it. I coul feel my heart racing. I was fa
Elena's POV“Hello moth–.” “Don't you dare, don't you dare call me your mother! Do you know who a mother is? If you do not, then I don't think you should call me that.”Mason turned to look at her. “I'm sure you're not expecting her to greet you again. You're asking her if she knows the meaning of a mother? That's rich coming from you who doesn't know the difference between a daughter and a slave.”“Mason, you seem to have forgotten how to respect your Elders. I can understand you're rich so you think everybody should worship at your feet but you're wrong.”Mason laughed. “Elena you were born into a shitty family, I must confess. Your parents are greedy, I'm so glad you still hold good morals. We'll come back for Marvis later. How about we leave now?”My mother came and stood in front of me. She raised her hands sideways to block me from leaving. “You think I will let you embarrass us this way and let you go scot free? You and your so-called court husband will part ways today. You ha
Elena's POVI have never spoke to someone like that before and it felt really good. I smiled and then winked at her.“I'll take it that you understand what exactly I'm trying to say. Don't fight for a man until you're sure he's yours and you're his. It's pathetic for you to be like this!”“Shut up Elena! Who the hell do you think you are?”“Mrs Brown! I am happily married. If you're done spouting your nonsense, I'd love to leave this place already. It irks me to death.”I turned to Mason who had a proud look on his face. “Let's go babe, I'm done talking to trash.”Nodding, he held my hand and we walked to his car. Opening the door, I heard Williams croaked voice.“You'll need more than a restraining order to stop me from coming for you. You may look strong but I know it's all for show. I'll have you in my at all cost and if anyone tries to stop me, he or she is definitely going to end up like the chief!”He was the murderer. He killed the chief and got out himself. What the hell was w
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
