2024-03-20 17:15:13Scarlet left home early to see if she could take out a loan to pay off the mortgage.
She knew Mason had said he would cover it but honestly she didn’t see how.
She did notice that he had become more self confident but she didn’t think much off it.
She saw it as a bluff.
That morning however, Mason placed a call to Rita after Scarlet had left the house to pay off the house’s mortgage and pay their debt to Vivian.
The total money was just over two hundred thousand dollars. Pocket change to Mason now.
He could have done the transfer himself but it would show that the money came from him which would raise suspicion.
Mason spent the rest of the morning looking up wedding venues.
He picked up his phone and dialed Gerald.
“Hi Gerald, good day.”
Mason said over the phone.
“Good morning Master, to what do I owe this pleasure?” Gerald asked.
“I’m looking at this venue on wall street. A subsidiary of Microloft? Peka gardens I believe.”
“Oh yes! A beautiful place truly!”
“Do you have something planned?”
Gerald asked Mason.
“I don’t think I mentioned this but I’m thinking of proposing to my wife officially since we never did that.”
“I need a venue for that then maybe a vow renewal. Hopefully a vow renewal,” Mason said.
“That’s wonderful, young Master! I’m sure Scarlet will be pleased!”
“I hope so. Anyway I was just calling to ask if you had any information on Peka gardens.”
“I know the director, Mr Charlie. I will inform him of your visit.”
“Thank you Gerald,” Mason said.
“Thank you too, Master.”
Mason hung up and got dressed to go check out peka gardens.
He was especially interested in their artificial garden on the highest floor which featured a beautiful view of the city.
Mason arrived at the location and immediately noticed how the parking spaces were locked with a metal lock.
Also the path that led to the underground parking garage was also locked.
“Maybe they take extreme security measures,” Mason thought to himself.
He had to park a few blocks down from the venue. He was dressed in his well aged nike tracksuit with the matching sneakers.
He didn’t see the point in overdressing when he was just going sightseeing.
He was approaching the front door when he was blocked by two muscular men.
“Excuse me?” Mason asked.
“You’re not excused,” one of the men replied back sarcastically.
“Are you lost, man?” The other asked.
“I’m not lost. I’m here to see Mr Charlie.”
Both men bursted out laughing.
“Is he a joker?”
“Look man, I’m not sure what your game is but please exit this premise. We only allow members in and from your look we can tell who is a member and who isn’t.”
“You require a membership to check out your venues?”
That wasn’t on their website.
One of them chuckled.
“Please leave or we would have to remove you by force!”
“You didn’t ask if I have a membership though,” Mason said, upset.
One of the men started yelling, “you’re causing a scene! Leave! Now!”
People around started looking and Mason got embarrassed.
“How do I get this membership?” He asked.
“It’s not available to nobodies like you! We only offer them to the individuals the director deems worthy. We obviously cannot refer you to him!”
“And that joke of wanting to see Mr Charlie. You got his name on our website right? There’s no way Mr Charlie is associated with someone who dresses like that!”
Mason took a step back and dialed Gerald, “hi Gerald could you please tell Mr Charlie that I’m standing outside but the men here won’t let me through.”
“Please also mention that I am being terribly harassed and embarrassed.”
“I’m so sorry sir! Right away!”
Gerald hung up and right as the men moved to physically remove Mason from the property, “stop what you’re doing this instant! Fo*ls!”
A tall man with the name tag “Charlie Welsh” said, running out of the building towards them.
“I apologize for the noise sir! We were just about removing the trespasser!”
“You ins*lent b*stards! Do you know who it is you have put your hands on?!”
“You’re going to make me lose my job!”
“Mr Mason please I am terribly sorry! I wasn’t aware you were around!”
Mr Charlie pleaded.
“F*ols! Kneel and apologize to Mr Wilde!”
“Mr Wilde?” One of them asked.
At that moment, Mr Charlie kicked both of them behind their knees and they fell to their faces, apologizing.
“Please forgive us sir!”
“Is this how you treat visitors in Peka gardens?!”
Mason demanded.
Mr Charlie stuttered and said, “no sir, we typically require a membership card to view the garden but all amenities on the ground floor are available as long as you can pay.”
“So why was I being harassed?! Almost thrown out of a property I own?!”
“I’m sorry sir!”
Mr Charlie knelt down also.
“I will have them fired immediately!”
“Guards! Get these two rats out of my sight!”

Chapter 167
Waiting felt like eternity, but Mason was just simply grateful to have his friend there even if he had persuaded them to return home but was promptly ignored of course. He was still glad. Glad he did not have to go through something like this alone, it would have been a nightmare to be honest.Mason stared at the time, the surgery had been going on for about two hours now, but he refused to think negatively, he could not really afford it, so he sat still and told himself that they were only doing what needed to be done.He picked up the drink Young had bought finally, he needed to stay hydrated, so he threw it down his throat, grimacing in the process as it burned him while going down. And he sniffed, his throat dry, he did not like that so much time had passed by it was becoming worrisome.“Don't worry. It sometimes takes this long you know.” Young offered and Mason nodded at him with a grateful smile, his friends were everything. He had no idea how he would have survived the turmoil
Chapter 166
Through the bright haze of pain Scarlett could hear the nurses gasp as something got stuck, she knew that the atmosphere had changed, she was a sensitive person, so from the start of the labor itself she was already harboring terrible fears, and it seemed they were going to come through after all.The nurses tried their best to reassure her, they were the best in the business they said, all she needed to do was relax, it would be alright soon, but how could she? How could she relax when she felt herself losing strength by the minute. It was a terrible feeling, the weakness started from her head, sounds strange? Well that was exactly how it started, it started from her head and spread down slowly, leaving behind a terrible trail.She opened her mouth slowly and looked at the nurse, pleading with her eyes for her to come closer.“Mason.” Scarlett whispered pathetically and the woman sighed and patted her hand before leaning down.“Mr Wilde is out talking with the doctor ma'am, they are

“Ahhhhhh!” Scarlett's cries echoed down the hall where Mason was asked to stay as he paced with his friends, they were all thinking the same thing, if she was not in freaking labor, then why was she screaming so much, the sound was already Making Mason agitated. He could not hear it, and the more he paced with his face scrunched up in worry, the more worried his friends became.“I think we should try a different hospital.” Mark finally voiced out from where he sat with his head in his hands, and Mason's eyes immediately snapped to him in concern.“Why? What do you think is wrong with this one?” He asked anxiously, and Young immediately spoke over Mark, glaring at him to keep shut as he spoke.“Absolutely nothing Mason, do not listen to Mark, listen to good things only.” He cautioned, and Mark frowned but said nothing.Immediately he heard this, Mason's worst fear was confirmed and he stood to rush into the room Scarlett was in taking deep breaths with the nurse, her hair already matte
Chapter 164
Scarlett had been trained for such a situation, the water may most likely break in the middle of the night, they said, it happens to a lot of women, so fear not, they had advised, keep a calm head despite the heat of the moment and think rational thoughts, they had counseled.But Scarlett was in the heat of the moment, and ration was the least thing in her mind, not when she felt so anxious. The fact that the babies were not kicking her the night prior, and the fact that Mason was at ease with the company around him encouraged her to dismiss the nurses from hovering around her all night, she insisted she was alright, and with Mason being too distracted to pay attention, there was little they could do.But now she wished she could take it all back, the pain was back and back with a vengeance, with a crippling force that she could only gasp and hold her stomach. She was even afraid to move as the ground was slippery beneath her after her water broke. Scarlett was totally unprepared for
Chapter 163
Scarlett woke up from her nap, and was pleasantly surprised to hear Mason laughing downstairs. He never seemed to laugh anymore, and just followed her anxiously with his eyes, his legs practically vibrating with the force of stopping them from jumping up and helping her.But now she heard him laughing, something so carefree in his laughter that it brought a smile to her lips as she got to her feet with the help of the nurse that was previously knitting a hat in a corner of the room.She had only agreed to let her stay in the bedroom because she found it extremely difficult to pick herself up from the bed after laying on it, she was like a proper whale now.“You know Mason, worrying till he could not anymore had always been his motto.” Mark laughed, and they all echoed it, each recounting a time when Mason almost killed himself with worry for no reason, and Mason sipped at the drink with a laugh, feeling thoroughly chagrined.*My God!” Young said softly and in awe as he stared at a th

Mason watched Scarlett gradually increase in size, and he had no idea what to feel, but one was sure though, the sight was dreadfully daunting. She was slim and fit one moment, and the next she was dragging her belly that had grown so big along that Mason was genuinely terrified that she might topple over one day, it was becoming a most genuine concern at that point.He was always hovering around and above her like a shadow, and knew that she was not pleased with it, but to Mason ever since she turned into an inflated balloon, she lost the right to decide what was best for her.The stay at home nurses he employed for her sake were paid to hover around her when he could not, and at that point Scarlett was venturing into crazy land.Mason knew that she was frustrated with his behavior, but he could not help it. She looked so tiny compared to her huge stomach that he felt the need to do something, anything, as this was partially his fault.He knew she said Children were blessings and tha
