Chapter 354
Mason bore a grudge towards Zoe. So, he wasn’t exactly eager to spend time with Zoe after he came back from Hucksburgh. On the other hand, she stayed out of his way whenever he came over to hang out with Yanni. At first, he found it distasteful. However, he paused and thought that she loved Farley now. Any and all sexual relationship she had with him was just so she could get pregnant with his baby.It had nothing to do with love. The more he thought about it, the more he kept a distance from her. Aside from their mutual love for their little girl, there was virtually nothing left between them now.Soon, the weekend arrived.Mason stood by the window and looked downward from his office on the top floor of Lockwood Corporation. The building looked like it caught fire by the orange glow from the evening light in the middle of autumn.He was spacing out when he received a call from Zoe. She said briefly, “Do you have the time to do it?”Instead of responding to her immediately, h

However, it didn’t stop him at all. It took him less than a minute to thrust into her. Leaning in close to her ear, he began talking dirty in his husky voice, “Tell me. How do you like it now? What do I have to do to satisfy you?”She couldn’t see him but could make out their contours from the window. He was holding her from the back and wearing a somber expression. Any lady would’ve been turned on by just a glance at this tempting sight.All she could do was take it as he slid into her over and over again.They finished by the window. Then, he swooped her up and carried her to the bedroom. He pinned her on the bed and went for another round, unleashing all of the lust and love he had stored for three long years into her.This time, he didn’t do it gently with her. Instead, he was rough and feral.By the time they were done, they had had several rounds with each other. In the dark bedroom, both of them panted heavily before settling into a steady breathing. Turning his head to t

Both of them were overwhelmed with such intense emotions at that moment. They hadn't even experienced such a strong feeling even when gripped in the most electric moments.Tears filled Zoe’s eyes as she felt both her love and hatred for him rising in her chest. Then, they started falling one by one, only to have Mason licking all of them up.His voice was so husky when he said, “Do you still hate and love me at the same time?”Turning her head to the side, she refused to answer his question.Realizing that she wasn’t going to reply, he pressed himself against her and started grinding against her body. Fixing his gaze on her, he watched closely for any reaction she might exhibit. He was eager to find any and all signs pointing to the possibility that she still had feelings for him, just as she did in the past.However, she didn’t react to any of his moves. Rolling over, he decided to call it quits and lay down next to her, but he still rested one of his arms on her. Burying h

She might’ve done it for Yanni, but the fact was that they had been married for a few years back then. They learned all about sex from each other and no one else. No amount of hatred could erase the sultry nights they spent exploring each other’s bodies.The fact that they had sex again tonight was no help, either.Standing by the bed, he remained quiet as he watched her putting on her clothes. She didn’t bother to do it elsewhere either. After all, he had seen all there was to see. She simply didn’t have to be embarrassed about it. Just as she was about to leave, she saw that his collar was slightly crooked. Walking over, she fixed it out of habit. He caught her hands abruptly and fixed a profound gaze on her before asking her, “Is this how you straightened up his clothes as well?”Who was he talking about?She didn’t even have a chance to answer him before he released his grip and made a beeline to the elevator. He must’ve misunderstood something. Pondering on it, she knew

Yanni was wearing the patient’s gown in the VIP ward at Lockwood Hospital. She was sleeping soundly on a pink bed. Her face was red from the fever. The doctors hooked her up to an IV drip. The transparent solutions in the IV bag titrated drop by drop.Dr. Zara finally arrived. She shared Yanni’s medical records with the medical team at Lockwood Hospital. After a brief discussion, the assistant director said softly, “I say we do a biopsy. That’ll give us a clearer picture of what we’re dealing with here! What’s your take on this, Mr. Mason?”Then, he looked at Zoe.She crumbled as soon as she heard what the assistant director said. They would’ve seen her crying right there and then if she hadn’t covered her mouth. Then, she dived into the small room within the ward.After a brief moment, Mason followed her into the room. She was standing by the window when he came in. She knew it was him by the sound of the footsteps alone. Overwhelmed by raw emotions, she said, “She’s only four y

He hadn’t been a good enough father to Yanni!The smoke started to sting his eyes, causing tears to well up in his eyes. He didn’t even dare to think if something bad really happened to Yanni. How painful would it be for his baby girl? How would Zoe take it?Forgiveness seemed like a luxury now.All he wanted was for them to be safe and sound. Dawn had just broken when he made a trip to the Beacon of Hope Church. It was an ancient church in the mountains. The place was kept pristine and not a speck of dust could be found.He wasn’t a religious man, but he knelt and prayed for four straight hours, in an attempt to secure a miracle. He ran into a priest who was praying when he was about to descend the mountain. The priest pointed at him and mocked him, “No amount of prayer or donations is going to wash your sins away. The only way you can redeem yourself is by paying your debts in blood!”Then, the priest continued to murmur when he walked away, “There are countless unfaithful m

Ava was disheartened to hear what he said. She wanted to comfort him, but realized that she didn’t know where to begin. Time couldn’t wash away everything. Some wounds would never heal. Instead, they would fester and spread, killing everything around them. You wouldn’t be able to tell just by looking at the surface, but the rot had gone in deep.Mason asked her to step outside and give him some space. He lit a cigarette when he was alone, but he snuffed it out the next second. His mind traveled back to a specific moment when Zoe said to him in tears. “You don’t know how to love someone, Mason!”She was right!He didn’t know how to love someone in the past. Nothing mattered more than power and status to him. Family was nothing but an afterthought. It was something he wanted at the spur of the moment. Nothing more. However, he knew what it meant to love someone now. She might be with another man, but he made the will nonetheless. She’d inherit Lockwood Corporation if anything

She couldn’t help but sob. Walking over to her, he grabbed both of her shoulders and called out to her gently, “Zoe!”She didn’t want him to see her when she was this vulnerable. So, she turned her face to the side, but he pulled her into his arms. Not long after, his shirt was damp from Zoe’s tears. They had been separated for a long time and she had finally fallen apart. She finally cried her eyes out into his chest. He was someone she had both loved and hated. She was showing all of her vulnerability before him!He hugged her tightly, giving her the support she needed. At that moment, he’d even give his life to her if that was what she asked of him. He called out to her, “Don’t cry, Zoe. You’re breaking my heart.”Yanni was playing with a ball. She ran in and bumped into them hugging each other. Zoe realized it and immediately pushed him away hastily. Turning around, she straightened up herself and said in a husky voice, “I’m sorry! I lost my composure for a second ther
