"Everything's gonna be alright." Mason reassured her as he took a hold of her hand that was resting on her thigh, while keeping his other hand on the wheel. They decided to cancel their movie date for the meantime and planned to go to the Montenegro's residence before Kelsey change her mind and chicken out.Kelsey shot him a forced smile and released a long breath to calm herself down. They drove to the Montenegro's in peace and quiet. Kelsey felt her heart pounding against her chest as the car entered the silver gates of the residential.Mason pulled over and parked the car in front of the door of the house. They both got out and strolled towards the massive two-door wooden doors hand-in-hand. Mason looked at Kelsey and shot her a look that asked whether she was ready or not. She reluctantly nodded her head and sighed. Mason pressed the doorbell and a maid quickly opened the door for them. "Good evening Mr. King." She greeted them warmly."Is Sir Lucas home yet?" He asked her."N
It feels great when what one thinks actually happens. Two days since we arrived on the island and Mason was still stuck in his study with his laptop and phone. I on the other hand, had the privilege to tour the beautiful island. On the north was an amazing sandy beach with a myriad of clear blue water and the sunny sky. The south of the island however, there was this gorgeous cliff with huge waves crashing onto them. This island was amazing. I was only able to tour the north and south in the two days. “You are free to do whatever you want to. There is only us and the house staff on the island, so you should be safe from paparazzi as well” Mason had said before disappearing into the study. Well at least that put my mind to rest. I was able to enjoy this holiday. “Breakfast!” I heard the familiar voice call. Ever since we came, I had not seen him at all. When I turned, it was to find the business magnate Mason gone, and a very tired looking one instead. However, unlike the usual busi
“Hey wake up” I heard his voice. Did I hear concern in his voice? Why was everything blank anyways? I felt cold hands on my arms, shaking me. I slowly opened my eyes to see a very angry Mason. He sighed. “The next time you run off, its over.” He said and helped me up. I looked down and saw the bloody hole I fell into. Who digs a hole in the middle of a path? We walked all the way to the house with him grumpy and mumbling how stupid I was. The sky went from sunny morning to a grey dark. “Shit” my husband stopped in front of me and I bumped right on his back. He was looking up “It’s going to rain” he said and turned to me. “I trust you have enough energy to run?” he asked and I nodded. By the time we reached the house however, we were both soaked. I walked immediately to my room and headed for a warm bath. It was nice to soak in bubbly warm water after being in the dirt and running though my feet hurt like hell after my fall. I stared at the ceiling, wondering again, about my lif
The next day the cyclone was still raging, which meant me and him stuck together in the villa. And after last night, I really don’t want to see Mason at all, or his smirk. I walked to the huge study and started browsing books. The only good thing about my husband was that he had huge collections of books. I smiled at books from my favourite author. I took one and curled up on the recliner. As I opened the book, the smell wafted through my noise. I always found the smell of old book…amazing. “I wonder why I am seeing you everywhere” I heard his voice and turned towards the door. He was standing there, walking towards the desk. Unlike other days, he was wearing faded jeans and black t-shirt. He looked almost human but for the anger in his eyes. However, his face looked weird. I frowned. “What’s wrong?” “Why do you assume something is wrong?” he looked quite surprised by my question. “If everything was fine you would have a scowl on your face and your taunts would have been cruelle
Kelsey stared at herself as she gazed at her beautiful gown. The grin on her face has never left her face since the morning had started. She couldn't contain her happiness and she felt the joy overflow in her chest.Kyle knocked on the door and peeked his head inside. "Are you ready? Mom's waiting." He asked and Kelsey smiled and nodded at her little brother. She was so glad when the doctor had announced a year ago that Kyle was officially cancer-free. Her heart swelled in delight, knowing that her family was happy and complete.She took the bouquet of white roses that was neatly placed on the table and exited the room. She then followed Kyle to the other dressing room and entered. She stared at her beautiful mother in her white simple gown that had some detailed-pattern rhinestones on the chest area. "You look beautiful, mom." She commented as her mother gazed at her with filled-tear eyes."No, no. No tears mom, or you'll ruin your make-up." She quickly advised her as her mother c
"Who are you and what in the world are you doing in my house?!" A pitch voice screamed causing Mason to groan in response. There was a stir on his bed and he heard some shuffling.His brain wasn't functioning very well due to his hungover. Maybe it wasn't very bright to drink too much but he was too stress at work that he needed to do something to relieve it. He felt like his brain was repeatedly being hammered by bricks and he could barely open his eyes."Get out! NOW!" The voice once again screamed making him groan louder. He felt the bed resurfaced and he tried to sit up wanting to know what the whole commotion was about.Suddenly the door opened and a blonde girl left with her clothes wrapped around her. Ella came inside the room with horror and widened eyes by what she had just witness."Mason Emerson King! How many times am I going to tell you to never bring those filthy girls at my home?!" His grandmother spat with venom lacing through her voice."Gran, please stop shoutin
"This is all of it." Hilda, Kelsey's mother, said softly. Kelsey and Hilda both stared at the money they had on the counter by the kitchen. They regarded the small amount of money that they had saved in case of emergency. "Maybe, I should just find another job.""No, mom, you are not getting another job. It's bad enough that you're working already, I don't want you to tire yourself out. Besides, if you get another job, who would take care of Ace and Kyle? They need you here, mom." Kelsey said as she counted the money on the counter. There was around five hundred dollars and it was just enough to pay for their ramshackle apartment."But what are we going to do? sweetheart, Kyle is getting another chemotherapy by the end of the month. I don't know if we are able to pay the fees. And what about his medicines. Then there's the groceries, and the apartment and the electricity and the-""Mom, mom, mom!" Kelsey interrupted her mother. "Relax." She said as Hilda took three deep breaths. "J
"Hey, Margie. I just called to ask you if you know anyone who's hiring. Please call me back as soon as you can, thanks." Kelsey said as she leave a message to her friend and hanged up the phone.She let out a sigh and straightened her clothes. Once she got the wrinkles out of the way, she took her purse and a folder full of copy of her résumé. Today, she was going for a job hunting. She wanted to get a part-time job to help her mother to pay for the bills at home. She just hoped that today someone will hire her.The moment she got off of the bus, the fresh breeze of spring collided with her body. She voluntarily smiled and scanned her surroundings. She was currently in downtown and she looked at different stores that could possibly hire her.She started giving her résumés out to different restaurants, clothes stores, jewelry stores, even cafes, but all the managers told her that they would just call her for an interview if they needed her. She went to the very last store around the
