Cross- Roads:- What To Choose Love Or Friendship 90 Mason Family Dynamics

He closed his eyes to gather energy so he could lay open his life in front of her.

"My maternal grandfather name was Danielle Mason" Caleb started. " He was one who started this legacy we don't know how he entered underworld but by age 50 he was ruling underworld like G.o.d. He had two daughters one is my mother and other was Aaron's mother." Although he was not looking towards Hayley by Caleb knew that her eyes might be big and round because of shock. He knew she will be shocked to know that Caleb and Aaron were not just friends but cousin brother too. nevertheless he continued " My mother is younger one but still she wanted to hold the position of underworld king after grandfather and after my aunt showed no interest in underworld activities and choose to settle down without being a.s.sociated with underworld my grandfather's only choice was my mother and he didn't mind giving her his throne but then he saw her bloodl.u.s.t and her insane desire for power that he choose to find another successor for his throne. That's where my father came in , my father was madly in love with my mother . He was so mad that he left his job in army to join underworld so that he could stay beside my mother or also fulfil my grandfather's criteria. My grandfather had already spread the word that whoever wants to marry my mother must be from underworld and will be ready to take Mason's family name. My father did all of that and soon my mother and father got married. It was love marriage for my father but for my mother it was prison and she hated my father. She thinks he married her because of power and position and she never believed that my father is madly in love with her. He still love her like crazy, my mother married him because of grandfather and gave birth to me because of grandfather. I saw my father struggle each and everyday for my mother's affection but all he got was scronfull gaze. She still tries to prove everyday that she is best from father to handle the throne and father always helping and protecting her from background."

" Being born in a family of Mason's I m firstborn so it was obvious that I had to take the throne after my father and since childhood I was customized to think this. I have to undergo training and all of that so n.o.body can challenge my authority in future. it's not my choice it had been decided by my fate since I was born as Caleb Mason." Caleb finally concluded his speech and turned towards Hayley meaning to look a hateful look or pity in her eyes but all he saw was sadness. Sadness for her friend's misfortune.

"Have you killed anybody yet?" Hayley asked in a low voice when she felt Caleb's gaze on her. Caleb was irked by her voice , she spoke in so low voice as if she was afraid of him. He turned towards her but it's not like she was scared it's more like she was choking and needed water. Caleb searched in fridge and brought her water after she drank water she repeated her question again. " if you are asking have I killed any human yet so my answer would be yes I have but all those guys were after my life or done wrong to me and my friends in anyway" he said . Looking like she still wasn't satisfied with his answer he added " I haven't killed any innocent person just for pleasure or something as you watch villains doing in movies and dramas " he finally concluded. That put a small smile on Hayley's face. "Will you keep yourself involved in underworld activities?" she asked another question . "To protect my friend and family I'll do anything" he replied.

Hayley didn't know how to react to all this information so she chosses that she should just forget all of this , Caleb was her very good friend and he had always been nice to her him being underworld prince or whatever didn't bothered their friendship much before so why would let this topic matter now. With this thought she asked him " Will you being prince of underworld going to affect our friendship or normal life?" this question of her caught him off guard he didn't expect her to say this after recovering from his shock he answered "Nothing can change our friendship unless or until you and I want to." Hayley heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at him and Caleb was amazed by her once again.
