Chapter 9💔10
MASON’S PLIGHT
“Your house looks warm and calm” Emma commented staring at the swimming pool which looks attractive.
“Thanks” she replied with a warm smile.
“Never knew you could smile like this” he said while she rolled her eyes.
“I can give a clue the reason why your father came to our house” She said suddenly making him to stop on his track.
“What clue”? He asked facing her directly.
“You know! The rich always want to get something in return of something. And I myself wouldn’t thread my happiness in return for what your father wants”.
“I still don’t get it Camila. You are speaking in parables” he said confusedly.
“Your father wants a marriage contract for the both of us. My father told me but I rejected it because I can’t thread my happiness for anything” she said.
“Aah! My father can’t do such a thing. Don’t worry about it Camila because you are not my type of girl” he waved.
“Don’t vouch for your father because you don’t know much about him” Camila scoffed and began walking away.
“Hey! Wait for me”! He screamed and ran after her.
“Thank you for coming Sir Joseph”! Ruthie waved as Sir Joseph stood in front of his car.
“Thank you Ruthie. I enjoyed your meal. Well done” he complimented her making her to blush.
“Bye ma! Bye Sir” Emmanuel bowed before them.
“Have a good night sir” Camila said standing beside her mother.
“And you too dear” Sir Joseph replied before entering the car with he son as they drove out from the mansion.

~NEXY DAY~
“Good morning dad, good morning mom” Emmanuel who was already dressed for school greeted sitting beside his mom on the dinning table.
“How was your night? I hope you had enough rest? Isabella asked waiting for a reply.
“Mm” he hummed sipping a cup of coffee in response to her question. Understanding what he meant,she look at her husband who didn’t spare her a glance before sipping her coffee.
“Linda come serve breakfast”! She announced as the maids began came out from the kitchen and began dropping their foods on the table with caution.
“I’m late for breakfast again” Mason shouted knotting his tie in the process while marching the stairs in a haste.
“Don’t you dare sit on that chair” Sir Joseph voiced out taking the people in the room unaware.
“Why dad”? Emma asked having a frown on his face.
“I can’t let this rebellious son to contaminate my expensive chair with his ill attitude” he spat as if the words were too irritating.
“Aaa! Wow! It was nice hearing your voice this morning dad but come to think of it. You stopping me from eating your expensive food as you said won’t stop me from disobeying you. Instead it will ignite th fire of disobedience in me” Mason said with an annoying face.
“Just listen to what your brother is saying! What annoys me the most is that he isn’t feeling a sense of rumors to ask for my forgiveness. I don’t think you can ever listen to what I will say Mason! You are a reckless son”! He shouted breathing heavily.
“What the Füçk will I listen to what you have to say dad! When all the Sh|t you would’d say are nothing that will be of benefit to me. Why then will I waste my precious time to listen to you? Sorry to disappoint you the last thing i would do is to thread my happiness for you especially the way my other siblings are threading their happiness just to please you” Mason fired back.
“Mason that is enough. Don’t talk to dad like that”! Emmanuel cautioned.
“Allow him to throw tantrums at me. If I wasn’t sure of your mother,I would have said that you aren’t my blood. But I will have a DNA test to be sure if you are actually my blood because your attitude shows that you are imitating your mother’s brother character” he said which angered Isabella.
“Joseph I won’t take that insult from you. The fact that my brother is spending his life at the jail doesn’t’t make you to comparemy son with him. If you want to talk to Mason talk to him as a father and stop comparing him to someone else” She said aggressively.
“If I shouldn’t compare him to another who else will I? Your actions shows that Mason here isn’t my son” he shouted.
“And you here Sir Joseph, you are not my father. Because a father won’t deprive his son of his own happ…” He was rendered silence by a hit across his face.
“Dad”! Emmanuel gasped.
“As from today onwards, I Joseph Hernandez have disowned you from being my son. And anyone that takes you in shall face my wrath” Sir Joseph declared shocking the members of the house.
“Dad”! Emmanuel called shockingly.
“Guards go into his room and bring out everything that has to done with him right now” he ordered as the guards quickly rushed ran to the stairs to carryout the order.
“Dad! Mason isn’t going anywhere” Emmanuel opposed standing up from his chair.
“If you dare to stand in between us Emmanuel,I wouldn’t mind changing the deal you made with me” he threatened making Emmanuel to open his mouth but no words could come out from his mouth.
“Joseph my son isn’t leaving this house”! Isabella shouted.
“This is my house so I dictate what should be done in this house…”
“And this is my house too. So I gat to dictate what should be done too” she interjected.
“I built this house with my own money Isabella you don’t have a say here. I’m the man of this house”
“Mom! Bro ! Is okay you all have tried your best but this man here doesn’t worth your time and words. I will leave your house as you want me to. But I’m promising you that you will live to regret this day. That is my promise for you,by the time you would want me to come back for you, It will be the day that i will see you going down six feets” Mason said with tears filled in his eyes as he dragged his belongings out from the living room.
Unable to do anything, Emmanuel slump on the chair tiredly with tears running down his cheeks. Isabella who was just looking at the retracting figure of her son couldn’t help but break down in tears.
“This is what will happen to anyone that disobeyes me” Sir Joseph said and left the dinning room. That was the end of the breakfast.

Mason who was walking on the road dragging his big luggages bag as he walked. Today they will be having a test in his school and it is a morning test by the time he will trek down to where he will drop his luggages the test will be over. The last money he has,he used it to purchase a football boots because his father refused to buy one for him.
He has the dream to because a great footballer in future but his dad wants him to study business which he is against. Sighing sadly,he paused to catch his breath when a car stopped beside him almost knocking him down.
“Hey dude do you want to knock me down”! He yelled but was dumbfounded when the person in the car step down. It was Nicholas who stepped down from the car walking to him majestically. Mason gulped down his saliva upon seeing him. Nicholas has this dark piercing black eyes that when his looking at you,is as if he is looking into your soul. His has this intimidating dark aura that follows him anytime he is around people.
“Aren’t you supposed to be in school Mason”? His bass voice asked sending shiver down his spine.
“I…was thrown out from the house” he replied.
“By your father right”? He asked with a smirk.
“Ye..ss” he stuttered. Nicholas only nodded before opening the car boots using the car keys. He took the luggages and put them inside the boots and closed it afterwards.
“Hop in” he said plainly but Mason stood at his place.
“I said hop in Mason” Nicholas repeated.
“My father… said that anyone who takes me in will suffer from his wrath” he said.
“Mm! Then I’m waiting for his wrath. Now enter this car before I change my mind” he ordered as Mason ran and entered the car.
“I will first drop you at your school before going to mine. When your school dismissed just give me a call and then I will take you home” he said.
“Wow! I can’t believe you just talk for long”! He giggled.
“I might not talk like this again” he replied with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes which was now replaced with a cold look. Mason just look away facing the window entirely.
Sometimes Nicholas is not easy to understand.
Stopping at the gate of his school, Mason came out from the car with his school and rushed inside as Nicholas drove off. As Mason entered his class,the test has already begun.
“Mason! You are late”? The teacher shouted.
“I’m sorry sir” he apologized.
“Go sit and start writing” the teacher said as Mason ran to his chair bring out his things needed for the test.
“Why are you late”? Kylie his best asked.
“I will tell you later”.

≈HERNANDEZ GROUP OF COOPERATION≈
“I sign the contract with Antonio and I guess it is a good deal” Sir Joseph said sitting on his sofa chair lazily with five men of wealth in his office.
“Antonio is a good man when it comes to business but he doesn’t wants to follow the train”. Mr Clifford said sipping his wine.
“That is why he will always remain in the same spot in business” Mr Lewis added with a laugh.
“I’m bother about somethings ” A worried Joseph suddenly said.
“Why are you worried about something that you can get with a blink of an eye” Mr Clifford asked.
“Firstly, I’m having this feelings that Paul Walker will be the one to spoil things for me right now. I need to do something now before it will get tough” he said seriously.
“You don’t need to worry. If you have this wired feelings then you must be imagining things. But if that feelings continues,then we will end him like Sergio” Mr Clifford reassured him.
“Okay” he replied feeling at ease
“Zuckerberg will be of a good benefit in the expansion of my family business but I have a problem with my son” he said
“And what is that problem”?
“I think I will be breaking the deal i had with him seven years ago”.
