CHAPTER 142Mason rubbed his temples as he sat in his car, staring blankly at the steering wheel. It had been three days since he had woken up from his supposed unconscious state and his mind was still jumbled up. He needed to clear his head and he knew just where to go.With a sigh, Mason grabbed his keys and stepped out of the car, making his way up the path to his girlfriend Ana's house. As he entered, he could hear the faint sound of the twins' laughter coming from the living room."Hi, Daddy!" Ethan yelled, running towards him with open arms.Mason scooped his son up, smiling at the sound of his laughter. He asked Ethan about his day at school, but his mind couldn't focus on the reply. Ella was sitting on the sofa, her eyes glued to the TV. Mason knew better than to try and talk to her when she was like this but he saw the flicker of recognition in her eyes. Mason just shook his head and returned his attention to Ethan. "how was school?" Ethan replied, "Our teacher told us that a

CHAPTER 144Mason groggily opened his eyes and stretched his arms above his head. As his vision cleared, he caught a glimpse of the sun slowly rising outside his window. The sky was painted with a palette of soft pink and orange hues, and the light filtered in through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room.A smile spread across Mason's face as he turned his head to look at the sleeping figure next to him. His girlfriend, Maria, had curled up against his chest during the night, her hair fanning out over his pillow. Mason couldn't help but feel grateful for another morning with her.He gently stroked her hair and whispered her name. Maria stirred and slowly opened her eyes, offering him a sleepy smile. Mason felt his heart skip a beat at the sight of her."Good morning, beautiful," he whispered, pressing a kiss to her forehead.Maria snuggled closer to him, burying her face in his chest. "Morning," she mumbled. Mason was about to respond when his phone rang, interrupting thei

MASONCHAPTER 146.Liam shook his head in disbelief. "This is all because of money," he said. "The president should be locked up for letting this happen to his own people. It's a complete betrayal of his duties as a leader."Tommy, who was sitting on the couch across from Liam, shook his head. "That's too light a punishment for him," he said. "He deserves death for selling out his own people."Mason, who was leaning against the wall, nodded in agreement. "I know Ana's men are on the case," he said. "They're working to find out the location and hideout of those strange men."He turned to Leonard, who was pacing back and forth. "Hurry up on your end," he said. "We need to find out what's going on before it's too late."Liam looked at Mason curiously. "What does Ana do, exactly?" he asked. "She seems pretty powerful and efficient."Mason smiled slyly. "That's a secret between me and Ana," he said. "But when the time is right, I'll let you guys know."He didn't want his friends to think b

MASONCHAPTER 148Ana entered her room, closing the door softly behind her. She walked over to her bed and sat down, placing her head in her hands. How could she keep her promise to Mason when there were people dying every day? She knew that he would be upset with her if he found out, but she couldn't just sit there and do nothing. The anger inside her was building up every time another body was found.Ana stood up and began pacing back and forth across the room. She wasn't sure how she was going to get involved, but she knew that she had to do something. She couldn't just let these men get away with murder. They were taking innocent lives, and it was making Ana sick to her stomach.As she continued to pace, Ana was lost in thought. She knew that getting involved would put herself at risk, but she was willing to take that chance. She had to do something before it was too late.After a few moments of deep thought, Ana made the decision. She was going to get involved, no matter what the

MASONCHAPTER 150Ana stood by the door of her grandfather's hospital room, watching as Mason walked over to her grandfather's bed. She felt a pang of guilt for being slightly mad at him. They had had a fight the week before, and she had been avoiding him since then. But seeing him now, she couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions that threatened to overwhelm her.She closed her eyes, trying to push away the memories of their argument. She had been so angry with him for renting out her apartment behind her back. They had agreed that she would move in with him after she found a suitable tenant for her place. But the very next day, she had a visitor who had expressed interest in renting her apartment.Ana couldn't shake the feeling that Mason was behind it. She had called him right after the meeting with the woman, demanding an explanation. At first, he had denied it, but when she pressed him, he had finally admitted that he had asked his personal assistant, Leonard, to find a tenant.
