The Magician's Revenge

Chapter Five

Mason didn't utter any word, he simply made his way into the room and laid down on the floor to sleep. Aurora gazed at him in disgust before resuming her chat with John on the phone. The duo chatted and laughed nonstop, and all Mason could do was lie there with his pillow covering his head, he had to deal with the problem of not having any magic wand nor spell and his girlfriend cheating on him.

The morning sun rose up, and Mason woke up from his sleep. He stood up from the floor he slept on and glanced at the bed where Aurora could be seen still fast asleep.

He made his way into the bathroom and had a quick shower before getting dressed and heading downstairs.

Mason made his way to the fridge and picked up a bag of chips and a bottle of juice before heading out and making his way towards the bus station. While heading to the bus station, Mason munched on his chips and took a sip from a juice.

The only reason why he was headed to the news company was to submit his resignation letter to John. He couldn't afford to be humiliated by John and get thrown out once more, so he decided to resign before that happens. He plans on finding a way to get his magical abilities and wand.

Mason took a bus that took him straight to the company. He got off the bus and made his way into the building.

"Morning, Mason!" Zoey who has been awaiting his arrival approached him after catching a glimpse of him walking in, but Mason didn't respond as he kept walking forward with his face bright red in anger and a piece of paper in his hand.

"Mason, are you okay?" Zoey inquired, worried for her friend. The way Mason was acting right now, she could tell something bad happened back home. Mason didn't still respond as he stepped into an elevator and closed the door before Zoey could get in.

The elevator took him straight to the top floor and he stepped out and walked towards John's office. Without knocking, Mason barged into the office and saw John sitting comfortably on his chair.

"Mason? I was just about to call you, bro." John spoke up after catching a glimpse of the man that just walked in. "You assaulted me, the Manager yesterday, and I am sure you know I can't let that slide. So that's why I..."

Before John could finish his words, Mason tossed a letter on his desk with an emotionless look. John gazed at Mason's face before shifting his gaze back to his desk and picked up the letter.

He glanced at it and read through it.

"A resignation letter?" John muttered.

"Yes, a resignation letter. I just saved you the stress of firing me." Mason responded as he turned around and attempted to leave, but John's words stopped him.

"A poor boy with such a bad attitude and confidence. Interesting. Let's see how far this confidence will get you." John bellowed. "You are just good for nothing, no job, no money, no magical abilities, no wand." He added.

"Watch it!" Mason snapped, making John flinch in fear and kept quiet, afraid that yesterday's incident might end up repeating itself, and he was still healing from Mason's punches.

Mason glared at him before turning around and exited the office, leaving John alone in the office with a grin on his face.

He took out his phone and swiftly dialed Aurora 's number, informing her about Mason's resignation.

Mason took the elevator and began to exit the building, but Zoey rushed over to him and blocked his path.

"What's the matter, Mason? Tell me. You are actually scaring me." Zoey demanded in concern.

"I just resigned." Mason informed with a smile that was clearly not from his heart.

Hearing the words of Mason, Zoey's eyes widened in shock.

"Why? What happened?!" Zoey blurted out in shock.

"It's a long story which I am clearly not ready to narrate right now." Mason responded, sadness evident in his tone.

Zoey saw the saddened expression in Mason's eyes and knew it would be best to not push further and respect his decision.

"So, this is goodbye?" Zoey asked calmly.

"No, not at all. We can still hangout like we used to from time to time in school. I just need to focus on getting my magical powers. Don't worry, nothing will change between us and we will still be friends." Mason placed his arms on Zoey's shoulder and assured. Zoey nodded and smiled.

Mason then bid her farewell and exited the place as he made his way back home.

Mason arrived back in the mansion and made his way in. Entering inside, Mason found Aurora waiting for him furiously in the living room.

"You are finally back, you worthless boy!" Aurora retorted the moment she caught a glimpse of Mason walking in.

Mason stood there in bewilderment after hearing the words of Aurora and struggled to understand the reason behind her words.

Mason was truly stunned by the words he was hearing from his wife.

"You aren't just worthless but also lazy! You are poor and jobless and even useless to the magic community!" Aurora remarked, glaring at Mason in disdain and disgust.

"Just drop the pretense already! You think I don't know you told your lover to fire me first thing in the morning?" Mason finally spoke up, unable to take Aurora 's deception.

"Stop making things up to make me look like the villain here! You resigned at your own free will, why will I want to make John fire you? You think John has the time to waste on you, you know what, it is over between us, I'm leaving your house and please when you see me in school, don't ever try to call my name" Aurora said angrily and left Mason's small house after breaking all ties with him.

Mason was shocked at the height of her deception and realized she only wanted to humiliate him with John's termination.
