Chapter 1396
To Paityn, Jamie seemed especially quiet today. However, he was also particularly intense. The passion was fierce, and he had her calling him “husband” more than once.Jamie was so powerful that even someone as resilient as Paityn found herself completely worn out by him. Afterward, she lay on the soft bed, still basking in the afterglow.Paityn was a bit surprised because she knew Jamie very well, he’d usually go at least three rounds after such a long build-up of nearly half a month. Today, however, he’d let her off after just one. Naturally, Paityn herself had already had more than enough. Jamie showered and smoked a cigarette on the balcony. Then, he came back to help her get dressed.Paityn blushed and said she could do it herself. Jamie was truly acting differently today. If men had monthly cycles, she would have thought it was his time of the month. When Paityn teased Jamie like this, he replied with an exasperated tone, “Then, what was that just now? Was it a bloody conf

Paityn was even more confused now.Meanwhile, Gavyn extended his hand to her in a particularly familiar manner, shaking it lightly. Then, he smiled gently. “Carol looks more like her father.”Paityn felt a bit embarrassed.Gavyn’s assistant came forward and respectfully invited them to take their seats, treating Annie with great courtesy as well.Annie couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration. In recent days, she had put in a great deal of effort to arrange this meeting with Gavyn. It had taken quite a bit of work just to get him to agree to meet casually. Gavyn's attitude had been incredibly high-handed, which was understandable, given the tremendous resources he controlled. In the presence of the Lockwood family and the Sanders family, however, such a powerful man still gave ample respect and consideration.Indeed, during the meal, Gavyn's demeanor was notably more subdued.Jamie was younger by a whole decade, but he handled the situation effortlessly when it came to
Chapter 1
Zoe Sanders wasn’t sure if every cheating man had two phones. Mason’s lover sent a picture to him while he was in the bathroom. She was a delicate young lady, but she was dressed in elegant attire that didn’t exactly fit her age. So, she looked a little out of place. “Thank you for the birthday present, Mason.”Zoe stared at his phone for a long time. Then, her eyes welled up. She knew Mason had kept a lover on the side, but she didn’t think she’d look like this. Aside from the obvious heartache, Zoe was surprised at her husband’s taste in women as well.She felt sorry that she saw his secret. Then, she heard the bathroom door opening. Mason wrapped a towel over his defined muscle and sturdy chest. He was tall and sensual.“How long are you going to look at it?” He took the phone away, glanced at her, and started getting dressed. He wasn’t the least bit embarrassed over the fact that she caught him cheating. Zoe knew very well that he was able to act this way because he was the
Chapter 2
Six years! That was how long she had loved him! Zoe closed her eyes abruptly.…It was a Friday night. Something bad happened in the Sanders house. Mason still wasn’t home. They received news that the eldest child in the Sanders family, Noah, might be facing a ten-year sentence because of the Sanders Group’s financial case.Ten years imprisonment was long enough to ruin someone’s life. Her dad was hospitalized due to a brain hemorrhage. It was critical and he needed to undergo surgery immediately. Zoe stood in the hospital hallway and called Mason non-stop, but he didn’t answer. Just when she was about to give up, he sent her a text via WhatsApp. It was brief as usual. “I’m still in Hucksburgh. Find Ava if you need anything.”She gave him a call again, and he answered this time. Zoe said at once, “Mason. My dad is…” Mason cut her off abruptly. He sounded a tad impatient, “Is this about the money? I told you. Just look for Ava. She’ll hook you up… Are you even listening, Zoe?”

Mason went back to Brookesville three days later. It was already evening when the black RV rolled into the villa and the chauffeur killed its engine. Then, he opened the car door for his master.Mason got out of the car. He saw that the chauffeur was about to take his luggage and said, “I can do it myself.”The servants rushed at him as soon as he entered the living room. “Something happened to your father-in-law a few days ago, Mr. Mason. Ms. Zoe is in a bad mood. She’s upstairs now!”He knew what had happened to the Sanders family. Irritated, he took his luggage upstairs and opened his bedroom door. Zoe was tidying up the dresser. He put down his luggage, loosened his tie, and studied her. Zoe had loved doing the house chores, cleaning up, and making snacks ever since they had gotten married. If it had not been for her outstanding looks and graceful physique, she would have been no different from a nanny.Zoe did not say a word for a long time. Mason was quite worn out from the

“Yeah. You gave me a hundred thousand dollars every month when my family was in trouble. However, I feel like a hooker every time I take the check from you. “It felt like you were paying me after you had your way with me in bed!”…Mason cut her off coldly. “Is that how you see it?” He pinched her chin softly. “Do you think hookers don’t know how to please a man sexually, like you? You don’t even know how to moan. All you did was squeal like a kitty!“You want to divorce me, huh? Do you have any idea the kind of life you'll have if you leave me…?”Zoe felt pain from his pinch and raised her hand to break free. He caught her hand and stared at her ring finger. “Where’s your wedding ring?”“I sold it off!” She said miserably. “I’m going to divorce you, Mason!”It took everything she had to utter those words. She had loved him for six years. If it had not been for what she saw and the fireworks that night, she might have still felt compelled to lock herself in this loveless ma
Chapter 5
He had to have her. There was no changing his mind. Furthermore, Zoe looked so delicate beneath him. He might not have loved her, but he did love her body.Mason was unapologetic as he moved to have sex with her. Zoe held him off by his shoulders, her breath labored. “I didn’t take the pill for the past few days, Mason. You’re going to get me pregnant.”He stopped in his tracks. He might want it badly, but he had not lost his good sense. He had no plans to have a baby with Zoe. Not yet, anyway. Mason paused for a while before sneering. “You thought things through, it seems!”Her defiance meant nothing to him. He placed one of his hands on her side and took out a box of condoms from the nightstand with another.He was about to tear it open when his phone rang! He ignored it, tore it up, and leaned in to kiss Zoe. She shook her head, trying to break free from him.His phone kept ringing.Mason finally picked it up, displeased. It was his mother, Lisa. “Your grandma isn’t feelin
Chapter 6
Mason knew his grandma said that on purpose, but he stole a glance at Zoe nonetheless. She had no intention of acting all lovey-dovey with him. She chatted with Barbara for a while before standing up and said, “I’ll make the pretzels now.”The smile on Barbara’s face was gone as soon as Zoe left. Then, she leaned back. “What’s up with Lilith, Mason? You can look after her a little, but fireworks are a tad too much. Zoe might be jealous of her and pick a bone with you.“You should make more effort for Zoe. Don’t neglect her.“She might just run away if you continue to treat her like she’s nothing.”…Mason gave Barbara some answers to appease her, but he did not bother to justify the fireworks. Perhaps it was Ava’s doing! They had been chatting for a while when Zoe came in with the snacks. He looked at her and saw that she kept her shirt clean. She was so elegant and beautiful. Every lady should follow her example. He lost his appetite for food all of a sudden. Barbara, on th
