Chapter 41

Lydia I stepped out of the room; the nurse stepped in after I did.Standing in front of the closed door, I smirked. I loved the effect I was having on him. I could see and feel him trying to fight it off. Meeting in the hospital was not planned, and I don't care why he was here or what he was here for. All that mattered was the fact that I had an opportunity to get closer to him and get into his skin.I walked down the hallway. I needed to get food for Melanie and have spent enough time away from them.I took large strides as I walked back to the room. My phone rang, a call from mom. She sounded worried. “I'm close,” I said. I saw Daniel, Mason’s P.A., in the reception. He must be here for Mason. I was grateful I didn't see Mason while walking back. Liam sprang into my hand when I opened the door; I held the flask far from him so that it wouldn't pour anything. I picked him up and walked forward. Melanie was seated on the bed. I dropped Liam close to the bed; he walked to th

Lydia I adjusted on my seat leaning out to hear the report. He pushed the brown envelope to me. “What did the report say?” I asked, looking down at it without touching it. Fear has begun to crawl into my skin with the look on the doctor's face. He wasn't smiling. He just held a solemn look on his face. I had a bad feeling about this. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. I picked up the envelope without opening it. The name of the hospital and the address were in one corner of it. “Her kidney has become bad,” he stated. “We knew this before,” I replied. We knew it from birth. It was what we talked about earlier. He shook his head as if to tell me what he meant. This time was different. “You have to understand that this is not the end of the world. With the fear in your eyes, I will advise that you hold yourself as I tell you this.” He continued, and I nodded a bit too briskly, urging him to carry on. “Melanie will need a kidney transplant.” My world stopped, my ey

Chapter 43

MasonI can't believe Lydia got the contract. True, she had a perfect vantage since she was new and had been able to keep a reputation. I grind my molar, my car careening to the left as I take a sharp turn. Pressing hard on the accelerator, I drove further and further into the city. This was driving me insane. My phone rang, but I didn't reach for it. This deal meant a lot. I made up with Julia just for this deal, hoping it wouldn't fall through since her father was there, but it did. I drove to my penthouse. Stopping The car in the underground parking lot, I stepped out, slamming the door behind me. The underground parking lot is lightened by dim light. There was an aisle with cars scattered around both sides. The glass door slid when I got closer, and I stepped in. Stopping in front of the elevator, I pulled out my phone from my pocket and opened a news app. Lydia's photo was everywhere; this was the most trending news in the business world right now. I stepped into the ele

Chapter 44

MasonDavid sent me the address just as he promised. As I drove down to the bar, I couldn't help but think about Lydia. She must be celebrating now, and a part of me wishes I were there with her. I reminisced about the time when we vowed to be together to celebrate every win and loss together. That probably didn't count anymore.I pulled in front of the bar where other cars were parked. From the amount of luxurious cars in the parking lot, it was clear that this wasn't an average bar. As I approached, loud music resounded from the entrance. Light flashed in different colors, temporarily brightening things around me.I stepped inside the bar. It was more like a club than a bar. There were so many people in the middle of the bar dancing and pushing their bodies together. I was led to a private booth by a waiter dressed in a black shirt and trousers.“Man!” David stood when he saw me. He was in a white button-down, his suit jacket placed on the side. He held a glass of drink in

Chapter 45

MasonDaniel walked through the door, stepping into my office. “Your mom wants to speak to you,” he said, handing his phone over to me. I wasn't ready to speak to her. I've been avoiding her call since yesterday. Daniel stepped out of the room afterwards. I placed the phone on top of my table. It was on speaker.My laptop is open in front of me. I twirled around my chair, moving from side to side. “Mason, you've been avoiding my call,” her voice rang out. Here we go again. This is what happens when your mom is more invested in your business than you are. “I am not. I've been busy.” I lied. My eyes are pinned on the screen of my laptop, staring at the photo on it. She is beautiful.Her smile. A smile surfaced on my face, but I was murdered immediately after my mom spoke. “You can't lie to me, Mason; I know you better than anyone. I know how you feel.” Her voice changed in the last sentence.“You must be hurt,” She said.Okay, maybe I was wrong; maybe she was worried after all

Chapter 46

LydiaMelanie is still weak, but after being discharged from the hospital, she regained herself in the next two days. As promised, Mom organized a mini-party for them. I just finished speaking to the doctor. He was still in search of a suitable kidney. I know it's too soon, and maybe it thinks it's unreasonable, but I am a mother. I am desperate, and I will do anything to save my child.I tried to keep a healthy smile in front of my loved ones, but how far can I go in hiding my troubled heart behind the facade?“What are you thinking about? You've been lost in thought all day?” Mom said. I didn't realize she was in my room. I'm seated on my bed, resting my back on the wooden bed frame. “When did you come in, Mom?” I asked, adjusting in the bed. I crossed my legs under me. She sits on the bed, creating a crest in the bedspread. “You didn't even notice when I entered.” She shook her head in a way to say this must be bad.I stretched and placed my phone on the small table beside t

Chapter 47

Lydia “The doctor said it would be in two months,” I said, then shook my head to show that I couldn't wait. I can't wait for two months. She picked my hand, “No, you won't have to wait.” There was nothing she could do about this. “I didn't spend all that time trying to build my business. I have built connections worldwide, and the medical field is one of the many places I have connections. I didn't pay for the less privileged medical expenses and made all those donations for nothing.”I tried to smile at the tone she used.She had built hospitals, offered assistance, raised funds and all for the sick. She is a kind woman. This woman gave birth to me. She placed her hand on my face. “Do you trust me?” She asked, and I nodded.“Then don't flatter because of this. This shouldn't be enough to make you bend.” She stated sternly. “I know.” I inhaled a scent of breath. “You just bagged a huge contract, but I haven't seen the glow you always had when you hit a goal. It's hurtful to wat

Chapter 48

Lydia“Hey, Marcus.” I tried to sound as excited as I could. “Miss Brooks. How are you? It's been a while since we spoke. I'm sorry, I've been covered with so much work.” “Oh, that's fine,” I said. “You're still in New York?” I asked, pretending I had no idea. As if Mia didn't just tell me he would be going to the party.“Yes. I still have some things to settle.” I heard him say. My lips formed an oh.“Congratulations on securing that deal.” His voice is hoarse and has a sharp edge. I liked the way he sounded. “Thank you.” “We'll see at the party later.” He said, about to hang up, but I stopped him.“Marcus,” I called.“There's something I want to talk to you about.” I said, “It's about what you said the last time.”“You don't have to give me a reply now.”“I want to.” I had to. “I don't want things to get awkward between us later today when we meet at the party.” My voice was low. I don't know how he would take in the information.“Maybe you need more time to think about it.” He

Chapter 49

MasonShe stood a few feet away from me. I went still. I knew I'd be seeing her here, but I didn't think I wouldn't get enough time to prepare my mind for our meeting. She looked beautiful. I couldn't help but train her body with my eyes, that perfect shape. I want to rub my hand over her hips. To trail that figure I've mastered over and over again with my tongue.A thousand thoughts crossed my mind. I imagined her naked body on mine. My nose, placed on the crooked of her neck, which always smells like strawberry.I furrowed my eyes in disappointment when she shifted her gaze as a man from behind her called her name.I fist my hands when he held her hand. He wore a black tuxedo; he was tall. I felt like ramming his head against the closest wall when he placed a hand over her shoulder. Lydia didn't spare me another glance as they walked away, leaving me standing alone in the parking lot.I placed my hand on my chest and squeezed it lightly. I know this was unreasonable, becoming pos

MasonNow, I've had enough. I moved to stand but stopped when Marcus, the jerk, cleared his throat.“Kingsley,” He called in a deep voice, exuding royalty. Kingsley must have been startled because he dropped her hand, and his face turned bright red. Marcus raised their entwined hands for him to see, and he took the clue. “You must be her date.” His tone grew bashful, and he hurried around back to his seat when Marcus, the jerk, didn't reply but kept staring at him with a murderous gaze. I grind my teeth and reach for my glass in one swift move. I placed it on my lips and groaned when I realized it was empty I looked around, beaconing on the closest waiter. Slow music commenced. Another glass was placed in front of me. I gulped the content down my throat. Listening to Lydia and Marcus, the jerk, speak sets something ablaze within me. Maybe it was the sound of her voice; it was cool and soothing as it had always been, but it was just that this time it wasn't for me.Or, it was th
