View MoreCome on!” Mason growled as he slammed into the lady from the back repeatedly while she moaned. “Yes, baby,” she screamed in response. Mason was in a hotel room and having fun with another one of his many chicks when his phone rang.At first, Mason ignored the call, but when it persisted, he decided to check it out. Mason put the lady on him to ride him herself and checked the phone.It was a call from the person he had hired to find out as much as she could about Josie, and it seemed that he now had an update for him. Mason reluctantly shifted the woman off him, and he went to the verandah to answer the call as he never let anyone listen to his conversations, no matter how close they were to him.“Hello, this better be good. You're interrupting my fun time, and I don't like this,” Mason said arrogantly.“Well, if you want, I could always call back when you are done with your trysts,” the man replied, unwilling to accept any nonsense from him.Mason was not happy about this, and he
The laughter filled the room as she and the old lady discussed extensively. It was not a short discussion, resulting from her trying to be as lovely and caring as possible.One thing led to another, and they began discussing the Television shows she enjoyed watching in Josie’s house.It was not surprising that they had access to the same kind of movies, but it was shocking that the staff of the Gold’s could manage to find enough time to watch a movie.Knowing a little about Ryan and about how the workers feared him, it was shocking that they had the guts to dare to use their working hours for some fun.Although she had clarified that she got some favors over the others, it was still hard to imagine that Ryan would let such a thing go on under his roof.Nevertheless, the woman knew more about the movie than Claire herself, and it hurt her to know that.Josie had been the one to fall in love with the movie at first, and it was because of her that Claire had even gotten to find out about
After a long ride, they got to the restaurant, and both got out. It was a restaurant known for privacy, so there was no risk of getting the information out to the public and being in the media's crosshairs.It was a safe restaurant used by the rich for their affairs, and it was known to keep whatever happened in it a secret.Sitting across from Bethany made Ryan feel different. It made him feel a different kind of peace. Although he did not like her and had no interest in her, It was nice to stay with someone he considered a friend in a nice restaurant like that one.Bethany was beaming with smiles and forcing him to do the same. Mason had advised him to go for dinner with Bethany as he felt he needed the female company of a person who wanted him.Ryan had been stubborn to accept this Idea, but in the end, he had been forced to eventually go for it as he realized that it was useless being tough and all.Although he was married, it was not the kind of marriage anyone would want or hope
Claire held her breath and signed out of exhaustion. She knew she had no other choice but to carry out the task.After all, her brother's life was on stage here. He had already given her an ultimatum through a messageClaire now had limited time to get what he needed across to him. It was wild how demanding he was of her, but knowing fully what he had achieved, she had decided she would do it as he pleased.The earlier she could get her brother out of the crosshairs of a madman like Josie’s father, the better for herself and him.Claire took a deep breath; she was just about to get out of bed and try to get the picture of the document when she heard a faint knock on the door.Immediately, she panicked and asked who it was. A frail voice replied, and she saw that it was his,, the head of the household domestic servants.Claire was relieved and asked her to come in. The door opened, and the woman wished in with a food tray.It was just then that Claire realized that she hadn't taken any
“Yeah, but don't be so proud of yourself; you weren't great in the game either. After all, if not for the large sums of money you had access to, we both know you wouldn't have as many girls as you did at the time,” Ryan responded.Mason laughed, and so did Ryan. The point was simple. Although it was the truth, no one cared. As long as he managed to get the girls he wanted to do what he wanted, nothing else mastered a man like Mason.A few girls claimed to love him genuinely, but Mason never took any of them seriously as he felt they were only lying and wanted to keep him all to themselves.It was one of the disadvantages of that lifestyle and, ultimately, why Ryan stopped. It was because no matter how sincere the girl might look, there was always the risk that she was after you for the gold.Ryan’s reputation did not help, so it was the same in my adult years. Eventually, he returned to that lifestyle when I saw that the few girls he tried out disappointed himAnd then, when he couldn
Ryan was not happy about this because he felt his pride was slightly damaged, but he took it in as Mason was a perfect friend of his and he was also an essential personality, and asides from all that, he was also here to see him and keep him company.“Welcome, man, have your seat,” Ryan said.“Thanks, Buddy,” Mason replied.“So, how has it been?” Ryan asked when they had both sat down.Mason sighed and took off his suit in his usual fashion. Mason wore a suit every day, and yet he was never ready to keep it on.As soon as he got the chance to get the suit off, he would always take it off without hesitation. It was his ritual, and naturally, Ryan was already used to it by now.“It's been a wild man. Last week, I met a mad lady by the name of Rebecca. She is everything young in a lady and more. Rebecca is so hot and crazy in the bedroom,” Mason said, causing the two to laugh.Ryan smiled and shook his head; only Mason would feel that was an appropriate answer.Mason was always praising
“Calm down, why are you yelling? I'm the one who should be angry here, and I'm not even angry, but still, you're feeling tense. Is there a reason why you are acting up?” I asked.“No, I'm okay. I don't even know what you are talking about. I don't feel tense or bad,” he replied; there was anger in his voice, and she could hear it.“You need to calm down. I don't know what you're going through, but you have to stay strong. You can't lose yourself for any reason. If you do, what will become of you when you regain freedom?” Claire asked, trying to be subtle with him.It was not who she wanted to be. She was too far away from him to make him hate her when it was unnecessary.It was one thing to lose access to him and another to lose her love in his eyes when she looked into them, and she hoped she would.“I don't know. I'm sorry, I guess,” he replied dryly.“Do you know you're being bad right now, “ Claire asked angrily.“That's enough. If you have any other thing to say to him, then you
Knowing the kind of man that he was, Claire knew he could want that, and with his last reply, she had already established the fact that he had a motive against their family.So many questions began going through her my. Why was he after the Golds? Was it for wealth or satisfaction?The idea that a family who was not as powerful as the Golds was trying to play rocks with them amazed her.It made her wonder why Josie was sent to marry Ruan in the first place if it was for a motive, and she was curious as to whether Josie was aware of the evil plan he was preparing or not. It wasn't too far-fetched to think such a thing. After all, she had been suicidal for a reason, as a forced marriage didn't even seem enough to be a reason anymore.“This is getting far more serious than I thought. Are you sure no cameras are waiting to get me in trouble the moment I get into that room?” Claire asked.“That's a good question. Let your mind be at rest; I made sure I took care of everything beforehand s
Josie could not believe her ears; it was not that he said that he had not called because of her brother that bothered him; it was the fact that he was trying to send her on an errand after all that she had already done for him.These wealthy people could not have enough; they were never satisfied no matter what they made you sacrifice for them.“I can't believe you're asking me something like this. After all, I have done, it still isn't enough for you. Tell me something; if you did not want to tell me about this mission, would you have called to tell me about my brother's bruise?” Claire asked, knowing the answer to that question.“You see, I'm a businessman. If you know earned anything about business with that degree, you acquired as pathetic or was. If you at least paid attention to classes, you would know that customers love to return to their manufacturers for more when the deal is good. In that sense, I can not leave you alone in peace as you crave. Do not expect or hope for it;
