*COMPANY VISIT*They got to a door which was opened by one of the guards as they got inside, it was an office and there was a man sitting on the chair in front of the large table. He immediately stood up from the chair walking towards them a bit before bowing. Olivia studied the man, he has a short stature and he’s a little bald. He wasn’t that fat but his belly made up for it. He looked like he was in his forties. “Good morning Sir.” The man greeted. “Olive, go sit over there for a while.” Peter said nodding towards a sofa at the corner of the office as he released Olivia’s hand. She nodded and did as told. The sofa faced them and she could see everything from her angle. She looked back at them and was glad no one was paying attention to her so she continued watching them. Peter moved forward and sat on the chair the man just got up from. The bodyguards stood by the door while the man moved to stand in front of Peter with the large table dividing them. Peter loosened his tie, pl

*JACKET* Talking about the Don, Mason had noticed that something was up with his dad and mom recently. They seem to be avoiding each other which had never happened before. Even though his dad was someone you could call ruthless, he cared about his wife a lot and will always avoid letting her know whenever he did something too extreme because he knew he would get scolded by his wife. His mom on the other hand is the complete opposite of her husband, she was the kindest woman you’ll ever come across.To this day, Mason still couldn’t understand how his mom came to love someone like his dad. Although she wasn’t pleased that Mason decided to follow in his father’s footsteps, she still understood that it was inevitable but she always tries to make sure he doesn’t end up being ruthless like his dad by her occasional pep talks, she had no idea he’s already past that line. But Mason would still sit down to listen to her and assure her that he understood everything she’s saying just so she

*HIDDEN BAR* Olivia was currently sitting in the passenger seat beside Ace who was driving while Derek was in the backseat. She had confronted Ace on how it was illegal to drink and drive. Ace was amused and told her that’s not how alcohol works. He got excited as he claimed to tell Olivia how alcohol works. He talked and talked till Olivia zoned out because she couldn’t perceive any sense from all he was spitting. The car stopped some minutes later and taking that as her cue, she unbuckled her seat belt and planned to open the door when it was opened from the outside by Ace. She thanked him and got down. “You can go in by yourself, right?” He asked. “Yes.” She answered. “Good, see you tonight.” He said before going back to get in the car. “Bye.” She murmured not sure he heard her as he drove off speedily which made her realized he must have been deliberately driving slow when she was in the car. She walked into the building before remembering that the access card given to

*THE DON* “Take her!” The man with the scar ordered and Olivia held on tight to Isabella. One of the men moved forward grabbing her arm to pull her but she didn’t let her go. “She’s a little girl. You can’t do this to a child.” Olivia finally spoke. “Well, who’s gonna stop me, you?” He asked mockingly and yanked Isabella away from her while the little girl winced at the impact. “Only a monster would handle a child the way you just did. You won’t get away with this.” She snapped at him. The thing with her was that she’s really not the type to speak up but when in these kind of situations, her mouth runs on its own and it would be too late before she even knows what she was saying. “Says who?” He smirked. “Now that I look at you, I feel like taking you with me.” And that was how her confidence sank as she immediately scrambled away from him but he held her arms and yanked her up. Derek’s mom continued struggling with them to let her daughter go. “Where do you think you’re going?

*THE BLAST* “W-wait. Ace?” Derek called. “Yes?” “Is he supposed to bleed from the head if he was shot on the arm?” Derek asked with wide eyes. “Fucking dumb-heads.” Mason said in his mind. “No dumbo, can’t believe you are so stup- wait, he’s bleeding in the head?” Mason already knew that. He could feel the blood sliding down his face. “Fuck, he has a cut on his head.” Derek cursed as he checked his wound. “It’s not that deep though, I think you bleed easily.” Derek added with a smirk. Mason swore in his mind to pay the two back once he was okay, they thought it was funny to joke about what’s giving him pain. But then again, he knew that if he was the one in Ace’s or Derek’s shoe, his own teasing would have been much more than theirs. And he knows they were just trying to keep him conscious and engaged till they get to safety so he wasn’t really angry at all. “I think we are clear now, right?” Ace asked. “Seems so. Don’t stop though, just go straight to the nearest hospital.
