Chapter 29 - Fallen
"Just apologize to your son! Is that so hard to do?!" Delilah barked at her son in demand. Edward ran a hand down his face and groaned.
"Mama, if you came here to yell at me, you can just leave." He complained as he stood from his spinning chair and took a file from the filing cabinet.
"I don't understand. You barely see your children and here you are making a big commotion. Can't you just be happy for him? He's getting married for Pete's sake!" She added causing another groan to escape Edward's lips.
"That's the point, Ma. He's getting married! Married! I'm not too sure about this. Since when did my son like the idea of commitment. I just don't want him to get into something that is hard to get out of. For sure, I will have to clean up after his mess again."
"Do you not realize that maybe, just maybe, your son actually wants to get married and fall in love?" She argued. "You shouldn't be the one talking about commitment. If I am not mistaken, you were in the same situation your son is in right now. You didn't believe in the concept of love either. You said it was all psychology. But everything changed when you met Victoria. Maybe, Kelsey's Mason's Victoria."
Edward's brows were furrowed in confusion as he took in the last part of what Delilah have said. "I guess the saying is right. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Think about what I said and please, please make up with your son." She finally said as she stood up from the couch in Edward's office and left the room.
Edward heaved a sigh of relief once his mother was out of the door and went back to work. He just really hoped that his son knew what he was doing.

Mason came home after a long day at work with a full house again. His sister, mother, and grandmother were all there to his surprise. They were seated by the living room and seemed to be focused on a book in front of them.
"Good! You're home!" Victoria announced looking over her shoulder. She beckoned him over as he loosened the tie around his neck. He strolled towards them and tried to sneak a peek on the book that they were so engrossed about. Their heads were all huddled around it so he couldn't really see the content of the book.
"What's going on? What is that?" He asked in curiosity as they all looked up from the book to him.
"Oh, we're picking some designs for your wedding." Ella nonchalantly replied and Mason's brows furrowed in surprise and suspicion. His sister knew exactly that it was a fake wedding, he just didn't know why she was going along with it as if she was really into it.
"Honey, why didn't you tell me you guys are planning to get married within two months?" Victoria asked. "A wedding is not just something you throw. You have to prepare everything and the least thing we wanna do is stress Kelsey out. You should have told me earlier so we could've plan everything already."
Mason's eyes moved from his mother's, to Kelsey's terrifying ones, to Delilah's evil smirk that was plastered on her face. "You did say you are going to get married within two months, right? Your mother and I were just chatting and the wedding came to topic." She innocently mentioned.
"Yes." He said through gritted teeth. "That's right, in two months." He announced with a big, fat grin on his face as if challenging his grandmother.

"Great! We'll get started right away!" His mother cried out in delight as they turned their attention back to the book. The three King's were all pointing at the book and suggesting which one would look better and elegant. Kelsey looked up and found Mason's scrutinizing eyes watching her intently.
Mason beckoned his head to the side, signalling her to go to the kitchen for a talk. He left before she could respond. She excused herself and said that she was going to get them some drinks and strolled towards the kitchen.
Once the door was closed, Mason paced back to her and trapped her in between his body and the counter behind her. "Two months? The wedding's in two months?!" He quietly yelled in frustration and disbelief.
Kelsey was intimidated by his angry features as his eyes turned a shade darker and she felt like he was burning a hole through her skull. "I'm sorry, I didn't know what to say. Your grandmother started talking about it and she said we're planning on getting married in two months. What am I suppose to do? Say no?" She barked back.
Mason's head leaned closer and she felt felt the hitched in her throat. She coward back and tried to stabilize her breathing as they were practically sharing and breathing the same air.
Mason stared intently at her and his eyes started roaming down to the bridge of her nose, to her pink, luscious lips. Kelsey gulped audibly in nervousness and avoided his eyes at all costs.
Mason leaned closer and their lips were literally three centimetres away. Mason could practically taste her sweet lips and Kelsey could smell his intoxicating manly smell. Mason literally had to bite his lip and clutched his hand into a fist by his side. He had to stopped himself from grabbing her by the nape and kissed her senselessly until they ran out of breath.
"Just make sure you follow as I tell you." He whispered and Kelsey felt and smell his minty breath that brought tingles all over her body. It made her body shiver and her knees were starting to get wobbly that she literally had to hold onto the counter to prevent herself from falling over.
Mason forcefully pulled himself away and started walking towards the door. Before he could exit, he turned back to her and warned her. "Oh, and don't fall in love with me." He reminded her and left.
Kelsey was left breathless and confused. She felt as if someone was crushing her heart inside her chest. The words echoed in her head and she couldn't help but think that it was too late. She had already completely fallen for him.

He was dressed in black jeans and a blood red button shirt. His arms were large and tan, a hand clasped the arm of the sofa and the other awaited the drink on my tray. Stopping before him, I took a deep breath as I picked up his drink. The scent of him was intoxicating.
