Samantha was in her office when a notification sounded on her phone. She was preparing herself to meet William Carter to discuss the partnership of the two companies.
Tapping the screen lock, it was a video from Sandra, one of her good friends."What could Sandra be sending me?" She murmured."Maybe some town gossip." She said, unlocking her phone and tapping on the video.A man appeared, covered in blood as he carried a woman in his arms intimately as he rushed to what seemed to be the entrance of a hospital.Samantha watched the video, wondering why Sandra would send her a video of a random man on the streets. That's until she read the message that came with the video clip."Didn't know your scum of a husband has a mistress while married to you."Samantha could feel her blood boil at the message, clicking the video again, she watched it.Indeed, the man in the video was none other than her good for nothing husband.She couldn't believe he could dare cheat on her with a random woman on the Streets.Although they didn't love each other, they were still married.It would be embarrassing to her as a lady if a word got out about her husband's infidelity.He had already tarnished her reputation by being a lowlife. What would others think when they knew that as a lady, she could not control her husband.That had to be the most humiliating thing for a woman of her status to bear."How dare you cheat on me, you scumbag! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget." She swore.Picking up her phone, she dialled the number of William, excusing herself from their meeting and promising him to see each other at dinner."I'm going to settle the matters between me and my useless husband today so we can be together." She said.Actually, Samantha was aware of William's character, who didn't know in the whole of Carlifonia. He's known to be abusive and a womaniser.She didn't mind that though, as long as she could get the title of Mrs Carter and have countless dollars in her account, that was nothing.Just like her mother, she believed that being poor was like a plague. Only with money could she buy happiness.She had just hung up and was walking to the door when her phone rang, an incoming call from her mother.Accepting the call, she listened to her mother rant about her husband's infidelity."Don't I always tell you to divorce that useless piece of trash? Just look at what he just did to you. You are his legal wife even if you two don't get along well. He has no right to keep a mistress talk less of being seen acting lovey dovey in the streets. Tell me, didn't you leave with him in the morning? How did he end up alone?" The woman ranted.You could already tell that she was fuming mad."Mom, you ask too many questions. Which one do you want me to answer first?" Samantha replied, annoyance evident from her tone of voice."Come back home, I already called the family lawyer. We are going to file for divorce right now. I can't allow my precious daughter to remain married to such scum of a man." Susan said, immediately disconnecting the phone before Samantha could say anything.Actually, Samantha could already tell that her mother was happy that at last, they found a reason to chase her husband out of the family without having to lose the inheritance left behind by her grandfather.She was also thinking the same.Mason's scandal came as a blessing in disguise, of course that did not mean she would let him go so easily without teaching him a lesson.She walked to her car before leaving for the Hutton family house. Meanwhile Mason treaked all the way home. He was tired and all sweaty when he approached the Hutton's family gate.It was barely past noon when he arrived, having walked for three hours.He couldn't control the smile that graced his face. He was finally home and would be able to rest and at least have a glass of water. If his Mother-in-law wasn't around, he could be lucky to land himself a few slices of bread before he starts his daily chores.He had contemplated on what happened at the hospital and decided to leave everything behind.He was about to step inside the house when he saw his bag and a few of his clothes lying all over the ground.He bent down to collect his stuff when he was smacked on the head with another bundle which he believed to be more of his belongings."Look who decided to show up after having a great time with his mistress." Susan, Samantha's Mother-in-law spat with disgust, her words surprising Mason." Mistress? What mistress?" Mason inquired, clueless.Of Course everyone thought that he was feigning ignorance."What are you pretending about? Do you think we will believe you? The news is already all over the media and you dare deny it?" Samantha hollered furiously, their words confusing Mason even more."What are you talking about Samantha? I don't have a mistress. I barely step out of the house so how can I have a mistress?" He asked, seeking clarification.Taking out her phone, Samantha played the same video sent by Sandra to Mason who watched it with horror filled eyes."I can explain, Samantha, it's not what you think." Mason desperately tried to explain. He knew that they had misunderstood him and hoped that they would give him a chance to explain."Explain hah!" Samantha sneered, eyeing Mason with contempt." Do you think I care about who you go fu**ing? Sign the divorce papers and get the hell out of my sight before I do something terrible to you." She spat, throwing him a stack of papers with the word divorce agreement written in bold.

Mason adjusted in his seat, his back straight and his shoulders squared. He knew that this was a moment that required him to be at his most intimidating, to assert his authority.He took a deep breath, inhaling the faint scent of cigar smoke that hung in the air, and slowly exhaled, letting the tension settle in his chest. With every exhale, his fingers clenched.His eyes, sharp and penetrating, narrowed as he fixed his gaze on the people before him. He allowed a subtle, predatory smile to curl at the corner of his lips, a calculated display of the power he held over them."What next?" He asked nonchalantly like he wasn't planning murder."What next?" Drake asked in turn. "Don't try to act like she isn't your whore, I know all about your little love story."Mason's anger rose at the mention of the word whore but he remained composed."I'm glad you have every detail of my life like the back of your hands but here's something you don't know, you have the wrong girl. I don't know this one

The chair revealed Mason dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, he leaned back in his chair, one leg crossed casually over the other.He reclined comfortably, his fingers idly tapping the armrest, and his gaze was fixed directly on the two men who stood before him, their expressions frozen in disbelief.William, his voice trembling, finally managed to speak. "You... you were here the whole time?"Mason's lips curled into a faint, enigmatic smile as he replied, "Yes, I was. It's always interesting to see what people say when they think no one is listening."Drake recomposed himself, trying to play it cool but deep down he was terrified. "What are you doing here, Mason? Shouldn't you be.." he looked him dead in the eye, "at least six feets below the ground?"Mason raised an eyebrow, "aren't you happy to see me, hm?"Drake rolled his eyes, fear building up inside him, "I want you out of here."Mason stood up, his hands hurried into his pockets as he looked at the books on the bookshelf

The atmosphere in the room was charged with tension, a palpable sense of urgency hanging thick in the air. High-ranking members of different companies had assembled hastily for an emergency meeting, and anxiety ran deep among them. At the head of the long, polished table, Drake sat in a chair that radiated authority, his countenance was a mask of calculated composure.His dark, penetrating gaze surveyed the room, taking in the grim faces of those who had gathered. Despite the caliber of people gathered, Drake's demeanor remained calm, his fingers lightly drumming against the polished wood of the table. His confidence was unwavering, an evidence that he was not intimidated by their presence.As each representative presented updates and discussed potential courses of action, Drake's responses were measured and deliberate, his voice calm and collected. It was as if the emergency meeting were a routine affair, not a crisis that threatened his company.The meeting was called because o

The room was filled with tension as Sandra paced back and forth in her bedroom in agitation, her cell phone clutched tightly in her trembling hand. Her face was flushed with a mix of worry and anger, and her voice quivered with frustration as she dialed a number.With each ring, her anxiety seemed to intensify, and she muttered impatiently under her breath. Finally, a click on the other end, and a faint, weak voice echoed through the line."Hello?""Sam!" Sandra practically exclaimed, her words rushing out like a tidal wave. "Are you alright?"Samantha sat still on her bed, still trying to recover from the fact that Mason could still be alive, her phone pressed to her ear as she heard the urgency and softness of Sandra's voice on the other end of the line. Her brows were furrowed in confusion, and her fingers idly twirled a strand of hair as she tried to respond. "I.." her voice quivered."Have you seen the news? You won't believe what's happening in the media!"Weakling Samantha as

As the soft morning light filtered through the curtains, Samantha lay in her bed, her gaze fixed blankly on the ceiling above. The room was hushed, the sounds of early morning barely reaching her ears. Her eyes, usually vibrant, now held a distant emptiness, as if her thoughts were lost in the expanse above her.Her tousled hair spilled over the pillow, a curtain of strands framing her face. The creases on her brow hinted at a mind preoccupied by something beyond the room's confines. The gentle rise and fall of her chest marked the rhythm of her breath, a rhythm that seemed to be the only indication of life in her stillness.She stared at the ceiling above with no meaning. Her mind was adrift, carried away by currents of thoughts that were invisible to anyone else. The events of last were still fresh in her mind.A sense of vulnerability lingered around her, the vulnerability of a mind grappling with its own complexities. It was a moment suspended in time, a moment of introspection.

An hour after the scolding by Butler Martin, Mason realized what was at hand. He hadn't planned out his attack on the Huttons, Drake, Williams and Uncle Roger.The soft glow of the vintage lamp cast a warm illumination over the room, emphasizing the seriousness of the task at hand.Masons fingers drummed rhythmically on the polished surface of the desk, his mind a swirling tempest of thoughts and calculations. The various paper spread before him depicted a web of business connections, corporate rivalries, and the potential paths to achieve his ultimate objective, the destruction of his enemies' companies.His sharp, calculating eyes scanned the reports and financial records, each line a piece in the puzzle of his meticulous plan. He leaned back in his leather chair, the creaking sound echoing the weight of his contemplation. Every move he made had far-reaching consequences, and Vincent was a master of orchestrating chaos from the shadows.A map of the city adorned one wall, with ma
