"Looks who finally decided to show up," Jacob muttered with a smirk playing on his lips. Even when Mason had a hunch Jacob would be here, deep down he wished he wasn't.

"Where have you been, Mason? Have you been trekking all day?" Jacob, not missing the chance of being a jackass, laughed, and others beside him giggled.

"It's too bad you're looking all dolled up, but sadly, you can't afford a taxi," Flora, beside Natalia, said, sending a wave of silent laughter.

"If he can borrow expensive clothes, why can't he beg for a couple of dollars for a taxi?" a voice asked, but Mason ignored them, taking the empty spot at the corner of the room. He was here because of Cleopatra, and if she hadn't called him, he wouldn't have shown up as he was the one who proposed the school project.

"Wait! Did he trek to this place?!" Another voice cut in.

"He isn't even sweaty for walking such a far distance," astonishment laced their tone, but Mason remained calm. He knew they would all be eating their wor

  • A Business Deal 3

    With the question hanging in the air, Billy walked in with measured confidence, taking the seat opposite Jacob. He dropped the files on the desk before raising his gaze to meet his gaze. “Mr. Williams sends his regards,” Billy replied. “I will be representing him today.”The temperature in the room suddenly dropped. Jacob instinctively glanced at his watch, noting their late arrival. It also struck him that they had waited for hours just to be attended by someone who, to him, did not seem worthy of his time. His jaw tightened in frustration, but he managed to keep a steady smile on his face, though anyone familiar with reading between the lines could see through his facade. "I was under the impression that the presence of the Williams heir was required for this meeting." "And I was under the impression that the proposal was more important than appearances." Billy responded calmly.Jacob, with his hand hanging by his side, clenched his fist in irritation. When he looked at Billy, he

  • A Business Deal 2

    At that moment, a panicked expression crawled into Billy’s face, and he forced down a lump forming in his throat. For weeks the Highs have been trying to secure a meeting with Williams, who has always declined their offer for some reason. Now after finally securing a million-dollar deal, the thought of messing it up already made Billy's stomach twitch with uncertainty.‘He wants me to attend a million-dollar deal?!’“Me?” Billy asked, lowering his voice, as though the walls themselves might overhear him. “Sir, the Higgs family requested you personally. Jacob Higgs is already inside.”Mason raised his brow, his expression composed, almost as if he was bored, and yet his eyes held a sharp awareness that made Billy straighten unconsciously.“That is precisely why you’re going in instead of me,” he answered. Billy searched his face, hoping to find a trace of doubt, but there was none. Mason trusted him enough to reveal the surface of his plan to him, but he wasn't ready to take the chanc

    The following morning approached swiftly, and a narrow glimpse of daylight seeped through the open window of Mason’s room, allowing a chilly breeze to gently circulate the space. Mason's eyelids fluttered open gradually, and for a brief moment, he lay still, attentively listening to the quiet serenity of the morning. Suddenly, a familiar chime echoed softly beside him. he, averted his gaze, and reached out for his phone resting on the bedside table. A single notification pulsed at the top of the screen, drawing his attention. The name attached to the alert indicated it was from his assistant, Billy, and the message involved a document requiring his review. His eyebrows furrowed as he read the text.'Revise proposal; Higgs cooperation’Mason unlocked his phone with a quick swipe, then tapped to open the attached file. Lines of neatly organized data unfolded, indicating meetings at 9am, the latest financial projections prepared by the CEO of Higgs Corporation, and a list of political

  • Dinner2

    Inside the Williams mansion, the dining hall glowed with soft light, and long curtains towered over the tall windows that overlooked the gardens. Voices and laughter echoed faintly from within, and Cleopatra’s steps slowed the moment she heard it.“How dare you!” a voice giggles ahead, causing Cleopatra to turn her head to glance over her shoulder at Mason, who is trailing behind them. His face is adorned with a reassuring smile, yet it’s not quick enough to hide the hint of amusement as he catches Grace's voice. “Relax, dear. My daughters don’t. Much,” Grace says with a warm smile, as she notices the subtle expression Cleopatra is desperately trying to suppress.As they entered the space, the conversation at the table paused, and the three figures stared in their direction.A brief silence lingered through the room as the girl shifted their gaze from Mason to the girl his mother held close. Cleopatra's eyes quickly glanced across the table, and her eyes immediately fell on Haley.Ma

  • Dinner

    Then Mrs. Williams’ face lit up as if someone had turned on a light inside her. “Cleopatra?” she asked, disbelief and joy masking her voice. “Your girlfriend?”“Yes, Mom.”She rose from her seat. “Finally! My only son has kept her hidden for far too long.” She clasped her hands together. “I must meet her.”Haley grinned. “This is serious if you’re bringing her to dinner.”“Call the kitchen staff and tell them to prepare dinner.” Grace paused. “No, I'm doing all the cooking,” she added, making all eyes turn in her direction. “Now this is serious,” Helen muttered, making several laughs fill the room.Later that evening, Mason’s car slowly rolled through the gates of the mansion; the rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of insects filled the quiet night. Inside the vehicle, the figures remained silent, allowing an overwhelming stillness to envelop the space. When Mason finally turned off the ignition, Cleopatra turned toward him, her face a mask of shock and disbelief as she too

  • Home

    Mason's car soared through the empty street of the WPD; its tires barely touched the ground at its immense speed. ‘Slow down!’ The thought surged in once, prompting Mason to carefully hit the brakes. The car's tires screeched, and when it finally came to a stop, Mason exhaled, his eyes averted to the incoming truck just a short distance ahead.“You’re being reckless,” Emoji called. Mason shifted his gaze to the left to the figure floating in the air. “If you are wondering how long I have been here, it was the moment where one slip from that steering wheel could end your life,” he completed.Mason sighs, leaning into his seat. The words of Miranda replayed in his mind. His enemies could already be making plans, and yet he didn't know who they were. Though he maintained a calm expression, deep down he was worried and more worried since he couldn't talk to his family about the dangers lurking around.“How am I supposed to protect them when I can't even tell them who I'm protecting them
