Elena's POV.“Are you reborn?” he asked his face puzzled.Why would he think of this? It's a hidden fact and I can't even be open about it, I thought hard for what I could tell him to dispute his words. Looking at him, I smiled.“Why would you think I'm reborn? Do I look familiar to someone you know? This question is really throwing me off.” I said while avoiding eye contact with him. “No, you are just acting strange and all. And the way you get scared just by hearing his name is alarming, one would think you guys were lovers in the past life or something.” He said chuckling.I scoffed at him, “Do we look like we are made to be? He's my arc enemy, he pressured my parents to sell me off in exchange for money. How would you want me to look at him, lovingly?” I stood up and made the bed, I was getting myself back slowly and he was pissing me off by calling Williams my lover. “I didn't mean to say it that way though, it was just a harmless joke I swear. I'm sorry if I hurt you by sayin
Mason's POV.“I don't get you, Mason. What do you mean higher!” She asked me her voice hushed as though she was whispering as she talked.“Nevermind my dear, just get ready. I'll be leaving soon to your house, do you have anything you want to get there.” I asked her as I took a bite from my toast, it was good and I winked at the chef causing her to smile widely.“Let's get the restraining order first and also give the police my statement, it won't even take much time. There's someone I want to get but it's not time yet. When it's time, I'll let you know.”“Okay, my lady. Now dig into your food, before it gets more cold. You've been talking since you came downstairs, I tend to wonder who's worse between you and Vy.”She sat down to eat, not talking throughout. When she finished eating, she carried her plates to the kitchen. After which she left and head upstairs to the room.I finish up my meal and drop two thousand dollar bills beside my plate. Calling the chef, “Azalea!”“Yes boss, I
Elena's POV.“But how come? How did he die, I can swear we saw him last night! Mason even called him when we arrived home.” I said to the inspector who just gazed at us.Mason sat on the chair, “So what you're saying is that the chief of police I spoke to yesterday is dead? Don't you think it's suspicious, his death?”The inspector leaned forward in his chair, “I did find it suspicious but then a warning note was found next to him, and the name Elena was written on it.”I sat down on the chair, his words took me by surprise. “Who dropped the note? Do you have an idea on who it could have been?”“No! We don't and that's why we are having issues right now, the note was in blood. It was written with the chief's blood, but we couldn't find any tip or lead to what could have been used.”I looked at Mason, he put his hands on mine, rubbing it. The action seemed to calm me but I couldn't take my mind off the fact that the chief was dead. Could it have been Williams? But then why would he do
Mason's POV.I walked into the complex building as I had been directed, I couldn't see Elena anywhere in the main police station. What could she be doing here?Entering the complex I heard the overflowing conversations, “Why can't she have a restraining order, Judge Conner? Is there anything she did that is preventing her from getting a restraining order!” “No, no it's not like that. I just didn't seem it necessary for her to get a restraining order because of her supposed to be ex husband, from what I've heard he's just getting frustrated because of the rejection.”“Then it's high time, he learnt to accept rejection. And you refusing to give in to this woman because you don't know her or because you're friends with Williams means you support injustice, I'll be ready to call and inform the other judges, and let them know how you treat your clients.”“I'm sorry, Mr Brown. I'll make sure I get it for her now.” The judge apologized looking at Elena.I looked at my wristwatch, time was a
Mason's POV.It wasn't my car, I had managed to swerve just in time to avoid the incoming trailer driving on high speed. It crashed right into the car behind me.“Why would you take your eyes off the road? We almost died, don't do that again please.”“Stop sounding like I purposely did it, you were looking at me with such pretty eyes. What would you have me do, ignore them?” Elena blushed, her face turning red. “Just stop teasing me and start the car already, you are already running late. My father doesn't like being kept waiting.”“Well, that's not really any of my problem you know? He hasn't fully accepted me into the family, so why'd you think I would want to hurry up to see him. I'm pretty sure he's going to ask me the same question as last time.” I said, inserting the key to start the car.The car wasn't starting, and I growled in frustration. We were packed on the highway, I knew I couldn't care less but then keeping a woman under this weather would be evil of me.She looked at
Mason's POV.What was he doing here, did Mr Walker invite him? And if so, why?Elena cowered in fear and moved closer to me, “Did you call him here? How come he's here?”“I don't know. I think your father invited him to come today. If it's your dad then we need to be alert, Williams has your dad in a hook like a puppet manager.”We watched as Williams walked to the other side of the car, opening the door. The legs of a woman popping out first, before her face. Who was she? William's new play toy?“Oh no! He's dating is secretary, that witch. She had the audacity to follow Williams here, I always knew she had eyes on him. Bitch!” Elena spat, her voice laced with disgust.“You both have met before? How come, and why would he bring his secretary to the meeting? I can understand guards but not girlfriends.”“He probably has concocted something evil with my father regarding money, let's just go in. I don't want to have any discussion with him, he'd ruin my mood.” She said as she turned aro
Mason's POV“You want me to divorce Elena? For Williams? Hell no!” I stood up in annoyance, “That's why you called me and that scallywag over? To separate my wife from me? Man you trippin frls!”“Mason, that is no way to speak to an Elder. He is still your father in law for now I guess, till I get Elena for myself. Show him respect at least.” Williams scoffed.“And what gives you the right to say such if I may ask, huh? You've been stalking your so-called wife since your rejection, and you think I'll give her up to you?” “Are you joking? Or probably in a trance. She rejected me because you came into the picture. If not for you, she'd have been by my side and I would be the one treating her like a queen.”“You want her to be submissive to you, don't you huh? You want someone you can punish and beat up each time she makes a mistake, you don't need to say it. Your attitude shows enough.”“Enough, the both of you! Mason you have no other choice than to divorce Elena. That is the only way
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
