Chapter 35Mason watched the woman before him in sheer amusement. He'd never met anyone like her.She was loudmouthed, stubborn, fiesty and bloody stubborn. She was also beautiful and had him wanting to throttle her at the same time."Frowny face?" he asked with a smirk.He just needed to reel her in.He couldn't seem to wrap his head around the fact that they were playing a game of cat and mouse but Mason had more than enough experience with the two of them.He stylishly let his eyes roam her body in the expensive black dress she wore. Everything about her body screamed fierceness, determination, and sheer willpower.Her raven-black hair fell to the tops of her shoulders and she was clearly wearing black stilettos which further emphasized her height.The woman had character, definitely something that attracted Mason but he couldn't say he liked it.She was too arrogant.He let his eyes meet hers and he noticed her narrow her gaze at him in irritation."You have a lot of nerve, Mister
chapter 34Tanya arrived at Mason's business premises early in the morning, carrying a photo of her son. As she had already been there before, she went straight to his office. Leonard was absent, giving her no resistance. "Mason," she exclaimed, but then remembered their last disagreement and paused mid-way. "Just take it easy my love. You know you can never get rid of me - I'm still the mother of your baby and that fact won't change.""I said I will not accept that child, for your sake and for my own." he replied. "But he's already born. Look at this photo - isn't he cute?" She showed him the picture. "You understand that the child is blameless, and you wouldn't want your child to experience the same as you did. Mason, you can't let it go that far."Tanya then revealed that she had conducted her own investigation and knew why Mason's parents had to flee for their lives - they were on opposing sides.Mason was in a thoughtful state. Ultimately, he expressed that the kid was blamel
Chapter 33"Father, aren't I also your granddaughter? Ana sulked like a whiny child."Time is up for you. Stop acting like a spoiled brat; you are now a mother. You need to accept that." He turned to face his grandchildren and continued, "You're Ethan right and you're Ella," Ethan uttered the endearing words, "Yes, great-grandfather," but Ella didn't do much more than nod."Why is the boy so playful when the girl is so icy? Does she think the world owes her?""Grandfather, that's how Ella is; she's a child who rarely speaks and who constantly pulls that long face. Let her be!""If she keeps acting this way, how can she ever find a husband soon? Don't you want her to get married?""how are you able to say that? Why discuss marriage at this age when she is only five years old. There are a lot of things a girl her age should be worried about and that does not include marriage. Plus She is cute and gorgeous.""Grandfather, you seem to be from another planet." Ethan said to the amazement
Chapter 32Mason visited his mother's house. He had never been to the estate before. He had never had reason to visit. The mansion was huge and expansive, the driveway sprawling. Mason could see a number of cars in the parking lot. He approached the front door, relieved that he did not have to answer any questions to get inside. He swung the front door open and stepped into the entryway.Mason turned to the right and walked down the hallway. He rounded the corner into the living room.On the wall, he noticed his mother's portrait hanging. His mother was just a girl in that picture, not a grown woman with a husband and a child.Mason sighed; He was contemplating something as he looked at the image. After ascending, he found Old Master McDonald in his study."Old master." He called, his face expressionless. Mason's almond eyes were like the depths of the ocean; nothing could be seen, no matter how far you probed, and nothing could be felt. His expression could fool even the wisest ma
chapter 31The butler of the McReynolds family paces about the living room. He was apprehensive.Leonard stood there too but his face had a confused look in it. He looked lost,like he had no idea what was happening.The old master just at in his seat, looking ...well, nothing! He had no emotion whatsoever on his face, just an ice cold stare.The butler stopped abruptly and faced his master. "Master! you're not going to do anything? You're not going to say anything? How can you be so calm after what Leo just told us?""What do you expect me to do?""Fix this? Tell Mason the truth! Do you know how confused and lost he might be feeling?""I don't care! He'll have to find a way and clear his confusion himself."The butler blew out heavy air from his mouth. He was frustrated. "So you're not going to tell him the truth of his origin? Not ever?""Never!""You can't do that! Do you remember that it was for the same reason that his father left?""My point exactly! I can't lose my grandson too
chapter 30He sat down after greeting his granddad."Oh! Mason's aunt made fun of him by saying, "The runaway's kid is home.""Stop talking, Shila. The return of your brother's son should make you glad. Why must you say anything like that on his first day of visiting? The elderly master chastised her."Why wouldn't I, Dad? Even if several of your grandsons have lived with you for years, you disregard them and give everything to a complete stranger. Is this how you want to treat us? Shila lamented vehemently."Yes, it is just. I don't have any prejudice against you people. Each of you is a member of this family. What have you and your sons accomplished throughout your many years of living with me? They can only gamble and go out to clubs. During their time at school, they failed every exam. They constantly leave you with a mess to clean up. How will they inherit the family business if they adopt this attitude?""But dad, I've been running the business under your supervision for a while
chapter 29Mason sat in his office, relaxing on the seat. He'd just finished a meeting and was getting a bit of rest when his phone pinged. It was an alarm.When he looked at it, it was a reminder for another meeting he had in the next few minutes. He frowned. Leonard had not informed him of this meeting. Mason laid his head back and looked at the ceiling. He sat up abruptly. "LEONARD!" he bellowed. Leonard who was already at the door about to knock, froze for a second. Dear instantly gripped him. He'd forgotten to include one last meeting while giving him his schedule for the day. It'll be by a miracle that he doesn't lose his job today.If it were to be the old master McReynold, he'd have been safe. Even if he was cold, he was also considerate but Mason was on another level. He was cold, heartless, unforgiving, hard, ruthless, and a fucking nightmare. That was why he'd made sure he never had to deal with him on a daily basis. When he opened the door, Mason was standing on the oth
chapter 28The small, dark, cramped room seemed to close in on the men as they stood with their backs against the walls. All of them were disheveled, their clothes stained with dirt, sweat, and blood. Even in the dimly lit room, it was apparent that one of them had lost a hand, while another sported a bandage, blood seeping through it and staining his face. But the leader of the gang, though clearly in charge, was not armed; he had nothing to protect himself with. "The mission failed, ma'am," he said, with a tone of resignation.She roared with rage, her voice echoing across the barren field. "You bunch of stupid buffoons!" She yelled, throwing her cap at his filthy face and he flinched under the force of her outburst. Gritting her teeth and clenching her fists, she desperately fought to restrain her anger. "He was one man! Just ONE man, and there's SIX of you. How could you possibly NOT be able to take him out? Do you want to die too?""We shot him and I am absolutely certain of it
