The Magician's Revenge

Chapter Four

Zoey 's car pulled over in front of the 's family mansion and she rushed out to help Mason get out. She pulled the door open and carefully helped Mason out of the car and began to make their way towards the staircase slowly. When they got to the dimly lit staircase, Zoey halted her steps and turned to face Mason who was still extremely drunk.

"This is as far as I can go, Mason . If the family sees me it will only cause more trouble." Zoey informed, carefully taking Mason 's arm off her shoulder and placed it on the wall. "Just make sure you resolve whatever is going on peacefully, okay?" She added with a look of concern.

Mason didn't utter a word, he only nodded his head in affirmation and began to stagger up the staircase slowly. Zoey stood there and watched him go up, and when she was certain he would be fine on his own she exited the place.

Mason climbed the staircase and was now in a vast balcony where a table and a chair could be seen at the center and Aurora could be seen sitting on the chair. She was currently on a call as she talked and laughed shamelessly.

Mason stood there fuming, the cool night breeze made his black hair flow and his two fists clenched tightly. Mason didn't need a priest to tell him Aurora was talking with John over the phone.

Even after what happened in the office she still goes back to him like nothing happened.

"Aurora !" Mason voiced, catching the attention of Aurora and made her shift her gaze towards him. "Who are you talking to?" Mason demanded and he staggered forward like a drunkard.

"Who I am talking to is none of your damn business." Aurora rolled her eyes as she resumed her discussion with John on the phone.

Mason 's blood boiled in anger and he snatched the phone from her and glanced at the screen. The name John was written boldly.

"Just like I thought." Mason sounded as he disconnected the call in anger.

"Give me back my phone!" Aurora demanded with her hand stretched forth.

"Not until we talk about what happened in the office earlier today!" Mason voiced out.

"There is nothing to talk about! Now if you would please give me back my phone I have some important things I am discussing." Aurora responded in a demanding tone.

"This is more important, Aurora !" Mason snapped, his voice reverberating throughout the once quiet balcony. 

"I said there is nothing to talk about..give me back my phone already!" Aurora frowned and voiced in a demanding tone.

"What were you doing with that man in his office?! I saw everything so do not even try to deny it!" Mason questioned with his face bright red in anger.

"What I was doing with him is none of your business. And since you said you saw everything, why are you still asking me?" Aurora retorted, glaring at Mason in disgust and disdain.

"Can you even hear yourself right now? You were cheating on me with that man in his office and you are acting like you did nothing!" Mason voiced out with a slight look of disbelief. This wasn't the type of response and attitude he expected from someone who was caught cheating.

"And what if I cheated on you with John, what are you going to do? Can you compete with a man like John ? John is a son of a prestigious family and manager of the news company you work at." Aurora sneered.

"So, this is what it's about? Because he is rich and I am poor, you feel like you can cheat and pretend like nothing happened?!" Mason smiled in self pity.

"He has a rich magical background just like you do but the difference is that he has magic but chose not to use and live a normal life but you do not have any magic and you're not rich, you're just useless" Aurora voiced out in anger.

"Useless?You call me useless?I thought you were different from the rest of the students at school but no, I was wrong, " Mason said with a low tone.

Aurora didn't respond as she walked towards him and attempted to retrieve her phone, but Mason refused, which made her lift up her right hand and struck him hard across the face.

Aurora 's palm slammed heavily on Mason 's right cheek, and the sound of flesh meeting flesh reverberated. 

"Don't ever question my decision and actions. Know your place, Mason ." Aurora warned as she collected her phone from Mason and walked away, leaving Mason stunned by her actions.

He gritted his teeth in pain and anger as he watched her leave like nothing happened. Mason then sat on the chair Aurora once sat and picked up the glass of beer she was drinking and took a sip. He fumed in anger but had no choice than to remain cool because there was nothing he could do and he had nothing against a man like John .

After sitting on the balcony for several minutes, Mason finally rose up and made his way back to his room to sleep it all off. Arriving in the room, Mason attempted to open the door, but the sound of Aurora making a phone call inside made him pause and listen in.

"Can you imagine? That good for nothing trash returned back from work and began questioning me about what happened between us." Aurora informed me.

"He did? That guy is a nuisance! Can you believe he attacked me in my office earlier?" John's voice sounded over the phone.

"He did?" Aurora exclaimed in shock.

"Yeah, moments after you left he attacked me. If not for the security that arrived on time, who knows what would have happened to me." John responded.

"I am so sorry about that." Aurora apologized.

"I wonder why you are still married to such a man. He is worthless, he can't offer you anything! On top of that he is a rascal! Break up with him and let's get into a relationship, Aurora ." John voiced over the phone.

Aurora remained silent after hearing the words of John. She has always wanted to divorce Mason in the past, but if she divorced him for no reason at all that would only tarnish her family's image.

"We will talk about that later. For now I need you to punish that scumbag." Aurora spoke with boiling anger. "I need you to fire Mason." Aurora informed me.

Right where Mason stood listening in on their conversation, his heart sunk.
