But when he sees April, he immediately knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. April has heard terrible things about Mason. She has numerous reasons not to get close to him, but her heart seems to think otherwise. Can she stop herself from falling for the man who comes with danger?
View MoreApril.I couldn't shake the picture off my mind; the two of them standing close before kissing passionately in from of cameras. It was the ultimate betrayal, something I had not expected from Mason. I thought I'd come to know him, but clearly I had lied to myself. The rumors were right. Mason Steele was a heartless man. The pain was strong, stronger than everything I'd ever felt. It felt like someone had hit my heart with a baseball bat to shatter it into a million pieces. A few days ago, he'd promised me the world only to turn around and show Carolina of to the world. At first, I wanted to believe something was off, but Mason looked so much into that kiss. He'd kissed her so passionately. It appeared that they'd set a trap for me. Hannah had appeared with them. Had they planned her kidnapping too? Everything was confusing. The fact that Mason refused to pick up my calls made me even more suspicious."You need to get out of bed," my mother said. "You've been in bed for five days. Th
I stared at the faded poster of Luisa Cove as I belted out lyrics of the new song Maria had written. I hit a high note before suddenly stopping. I couldn't do it anymore. "I'm sorry guys, I said. I'm not feeling well at all. Could you please give me five minutes?" "It's alright,"Jenny, who had been watching me with a concerned look said. I had reunited with my former band for a new song they wanted to perform. I also wanted to spend time with them since they were my closest friends. Stepping away from my former band mates, I went to the wall. Leaning against it, I slid down to the floor and raised my knees before placing my head on them. I had been trying to reach Mason for hours but his cell was off. I even called his office and his personal assistant assured me he was fine. So why wasn't he reaching out to me? It bothered me so much. What if he was still with Carolina? What if she manipulated him into believing her side of the story?"Hey April, you must be feeling sad because M
Mason.After listening to everything April said, I felt very angry that I had been dinning with a snake all along. I called Kyle Barker, a private investigator to give me hidden information about Carolina Mendoza, which he did. What I saw in that document shocked me. All doubts were erased. I knew she was the one who kidnapped my sister.Now that I knew the true nature of the person who lived inside, seeing Carolina's huge mansion felt different. I had always admired the grandeur and luxury it consisted of, but now it disgusted me because I knew it was built on the blood of innocent people. Carolina was not the self made woman her reputation made her out to be, she was a robber who had risen by stepping on others. My heart raced in anticipation as I stepped out of the car and walked up the driveway. Taking a deep breath, I went to the door and rang it. It was like the housekeeper had been expecting me. She didn't look surprised. "Please come in, Mr. Steele." I followed her through
Mason’s POVA continuous beeping sound woke me up. Opening my eyes, I squinted at the brilliant white ceiling before closing them again. Whoever thought it was a good idea to use such a bright color for a hospital room must have been mad.I could tell I was in the hospital by the smell and beeping machine with a cord attached to my hand. After blinking several times to help my eyes get acquainted with the light, I opened them fully. I was alone, thankfully. I looked at the blue bed sheet covering my body and pushed part of it off.Memories of my last minutes of consciousness flooded my mind, reminding me of the problem at hand. Hannah was still missing. I pressed the sound button by the bed to get someone in the room. I needed to get out of there.Almost immediately, the door opened and Carolina walked in. I frowned. Was she the one taking care of me? I was definitely not happy to see her.“Finally,” she said, coming to the bed and kissing me on the forehead. “You’re awake. Was almost
April's POVImages, video footage and text swirled over the screen intermittently as a female reporter's voice spoke in the background. I backed off to the nearest chair, letting my body collapse on it. With wide eyes, I continued to stare at the screen, which had now switched to the station’s studio and listened to the news reader as he spoke about the shooting that had left Mason Steele in hospital fighting for his life.Despite knowing it was futile, I dialled his number and held the phone to my ear. No one answered just as I expected. I had been trying his number in vain for hours. Quickly getting up, I grabbed my purse from the table and walked out of the apartment.Chilly midnight air greeted me when I left the building and drove the car I'd parked outside. I drove like a mad woman, in the bid to reach my destination as fast as possible.My heart relaxed as the hospital came into view. After parking the car, I stalked to the building. A team of paparazzi hounded me but I refuse
Mason’s POV“You have to do everything possible to find her,” my aunt Eleanor said, clutching my hands over the table. Her grip was tight and her knuckles were extremely pale. I wondered what was wrong with her. She seemed so scared, even more scared than I was, and yet I was sure she didn't love Hannah that much. For the most part, they didn't get along very well.“I’m trying, aunt Eleanor. You know I will do everything possible to find her.”“You need to find her before anything happens.”“What are you scared of aunt Eleanor?” I asked. She quickly withdrew her hand and jumped in her seat. Her unexpected reaction was starting to make me feel suspicious. “What kind of question is that? Hannah is my dear niece. We might not get along all the time but I don't want to see her die.” “She will not die,” I said. “Please leave now. I have some work to do. I’ll call you in case of anything.”I felt more relieved after she left. Settling down, I started to do some paperwork. The cops had p
April's POV“It’s her,” I said thirty minutes later. We were in a private jet on our way to Miami. “It has to be.”Mason turned and gave me a confused look, his brows furrowing. “What are you talking about?” He asked.“Carolina Mendoza,” I replied. “I think she’s the one who has kidnapped your sister.”Mason’s eyes narrowed. He didn't seem convinced. He had probably never considered it, given that Carolina was a good friend of his. “Why would she do something like that?”“Because she wants to separate us.”“I know Carolina likes me but I don't think she would do something like that just to get rid of you. She’s quite stubborn but not immature enough to play high school games.”“You clearly don't know her well enough. You have no idea about all the things she has done to me in order to keep us apart.”“You never tell me anything. What did she do?”I studied his face, looking for signs that he would believe me. “She-”The door to the cockpit suddenly opened and the young copilot steppe
Two hours later, Mason and I were riding down a smooth footpath. Having never been on a horse before, the experience was quite daunting at first. Mason seemed like a reckless schoolboy ready for adventure when he climbed on a black stallion without fear. Meanwhile, I'd settled for a little brown mare that seemed almost as timid as I was when the stable boy helped me settle on it.Although I was very scared at first, Mason’s confidence soon gave me the energetic boldness I needed. Within a few minutes, I was racing him down the hilly path.Trading words every now and then, we found ourselves in a small artificial forest that we had been briefed about. It was a beautiful forest with many beautiful trees, well kept bushes, painted stones and manicured picnic lawns.“I wish we hadn't eaten,” I said, staring wistfully at one of the picnic areas. “Would have loved to have my lunch over here.”Mason smiled as he studied the area. “Certainly looks very nice,” he commented. “We need to get of
April.The single’s event was held in the resort’s conference hall. When I went in, a middle aged woman was giving a speech about how to interact with new people. Soon, she wrapped up.“We’re going to start with a game called lock and key,” she said. “For this game, men will be given a lock and women will receive a key. We’ll have enough time to mingle with each other. After speaking to a person, you’ll try the lock to see if it opens. If not, proceed to another person and try again. It will be a fun game. You all need to stand and let our employees move the chairs to the back of the room so that we can use the space for the game.”People stood up and started moving around, leaving the chairs. Suddenly, there was considerable silence. I turned to follow everyone’s gaze, then I realized why they had frozen.Mason Steele was walking into the room. He wore a dark blue suit and had his dark hair combed to the side. The tall and handsome man exuded sophistication and confidence which had a
Jenny slid into the room and did a twirl in front of everyone, her costume swirling around her lithe body. “Are you ready, girls?” She asked with a wide smile on her face.“Yes!!” the small room erupted in loud cheer as my colleagues stood up. I managed a small smile, and glanced at the ecstatic faces. I wished I could be like them, happy and excited. Instead I was a nervous wreck, constantly twisting the ring on my middle finger. Jenny had been helping me to manage my stage fright since I joined the group, but I had not made much progress. She said I was the best singer which was why she stuck me as a main lead for the upcoming gig. As if being the main lead was not scary enough, we were going to perform in some rich drug lord's mansion. Mason Steele.Officially, he ran a tech business but many people thought it's just a front for money laundering. Most of the world knew that Mason Steele was a tech billionaire who was as ruthless as they came. There were even rumors that he had ...
