Mason's POV.I didn't want to stalk any longer, Williams voice sounded impatient like he couldn't wait anymore.“Who was that, Mason? Was it Williams or Elena?” I didn't want to answer her, I just walked towards where Rodney stood. “Get me Dominic, immediately.”“What do you need Dominic for, Mason? He's a tech guy not the police, say something or explain what your plan is!”I turned to look at her, I'd appreciate it if you don't raise your voice at me right now. I'm trying so hard to control my anger towards your stupidity, so don't make it harder for me.”“My stupidity? Did I tell Williams to take her or did I intentionally walk off leaving her behind? She told me she would stay behind, how was I supposed to know Williams would take her!”Ignoring her, I turned to Rodney again. “Get Dominic here and get me chief of police on the line, do it now!”“Yes boss!” Rodney replied as he hurriedly walked out of the room, I sat at the edge of my desk.“Vivian, go upstairs. Go calm yourself,
Elena's POV“Are you crazy, Williams? You don't play with guns like they are toys! If you want to play with something not guns at least!” I screamed at him after the first shot.“That was a warning and also testing if I still got the skills. I'm not playing around, Elena.” He said smiling as he dropped the gun in the table.He looked at the clock on the wall, “Oh oh! Seems like somebody isn't cared for, you sounded so confident about your wonderful husband coming to save you. Looks like he really doesn't care about you, that's how your life is! Your parents gave you up for money too and now your husband!”I looked at him, his eyes were glowing. I hated him and that was official!“Who said I'm cared for, not everybody runs immediately to you at your beck and call. He's much more affluent than you, so don't even think he'll get scared just by your call.”“Elena, you have a lot of guts being this bold. You really think he'll come for you? Is that how much you love him? You don't even kno
Elena's POV.I turned to look at the person who lay on the ground. It was one of Williams men, how come?At that moment, the police came in. Williams walked to Mason, seething. “You fucker! You called the police on me? How dare you, you won't go unpunished for this!”“Give it a rest, Williams. You don't want the police adding more charges to this.”“Adding more charges? I'll get out of this before you can even flick a finger, you don't even know what I'm capable of.”The chief of police walked in at that moment, “Mr Williams, you are under arrest for the forceful kidnapping of Mrs Elena Brown. Please mind what you say from here on out, to avoid it being used against you.”“Haa! This has to be a joke, you're going to put me on cuffs? Are you being serious right now, Chief?!”“It's my job, familiarities can come after my job is done. You touched a Brown!”“And so what? Are they the Mafia or something?”“Enough with your charades, let's get moving!”Mason walked to where I was seated. Un
Wlliams POV“Hello little pumpkin!” I said over the phone.I could hear her breathing fast over the phone, it made heart race with excitement. “Why are you out? You are supposed to be in prison for murder, not out! It's not even up to two hours!” She asked her voice shaky.I laughed loudly, I felt good. “You didn't really think I would be in cell for the night! Like your rich husband, I'm rich too and have connections with the police and politicians. It didn't even took long!“Who's that Elena? Why are you panicking?” I could hear the background questions, a woman's voice. “Is that Vivian, your husband's sister? Her voice is beautiful, I would like to talk to her give her the phone.” I said, my voice cold.“Since when did you command me or order me around? What do you want from me, I don't owe you anything!”“No! You don't but I can't get you out of my head, I can't stop thinking about you.” “I'll really appreciate it, if you don't call me again. I'll get a restraining order agains
Mason's POV.“Thank you, Chief. I'll bring her to the station tomorrow, have a nice night.” I ended the call and walked into the house.In the sitting room, Vivian sat watching TV. “Young miss? I'm pretty sure there's school tomorrow, aren't you meant to be in bed?”“Oh Lord, yes brother. I'll go to school tomorrow and I'll go to bed when it's time.” She said rolling her eyes.“That's fine, where's Elena? I haven't seen her anywhere.” I asked looking around.She turned to look at me, “Uhm she should be in her room, she got a call from someone after you left to answer yours. I saw her go upstairs but she hasn't come down since then, I really hope she'd good. I'm pretty sure, she's still in shock from that psycho's behavior.”I nodded, sighing I looked upstairs. “I'll go check on her, make sure you put off the TV once you're sleepy, got that?” I made my way to the staircase when Vivian called for me, “Mason? Can you please come for a minute.”I turned and walked back to the cushion, “Y
Mason's POV.My phone buzzed, I don't want to pick it. Elena's information was far more important than any call right now, but my phone kept buzzing.“Just answer it, I'll continue from where I stopped.” She said her voice weak but edgy.“You sure? If that's the case then, please excuse me.” I said to her and hurriedly walked to the bathroom. Picking up the call, “Hello! This is Mason Brown, may I know who I'm speaking to?”“It's Mr Walker, didn't you save my number? That hurts.” The man said over the phone.Taking the phone away from my ear, I heaved a tired sigh. 'What’s he calling for this time?’ I said to myself. Putting the phone back to my ear, “Oh dear, I'm sorry sir. I was busy rounding up papers. I didn't forget your number, you're mistaken sir. You called with another number, I did save it.”“You did? Ohk then, sorry for misunderstanding you. How are you doing, how's Elena? Is she out of shock now?”“Yes, she's better! But why sir? Why did you call me? Is it something urgent
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
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
