He might’ve dressed modestly, but she could never forget him. She’d remember his face to her dying breath.So much time had passed and he finally returned!They locked gazes with each other. In fact, they hadn’t even filed for divorce. So, technically, they were still a married couple. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she tried and failed to grasp the twist on the situation. As far as she was concerned, Westley was long dead. Why else wouldn’t he return to Ruby and Cecil? It had been so long. Needless to say, she had plenty of chances to ask Ruby about his whereabouts, but the thought had never crossed her mind. She had her pride, after all.Her lips started trembling. She had loved him with all of her heart. Since the split, that love had been twisted into hatred that lasted for as long as she lived. Then, she murmured, “You’re such a heartless monster!”He took a step forward.However, she fell back with a dazed look on her face. Then, she staggered and left the scene in a

Zoe was lost in thought. So, she was startled when he held her shoulders.Leaning over, he turned on the night light and said softly, “It’s just me! Are you alright?”Under the warm glow of the night light, Zoe remained quiet and stared at him instead. The words were caught in her throat. It wasn’t every day that she showed such a tender expression towards him. He simply couldn’t resist hugging her and kissing her by the makeup table. She didn’t want it, but the light from the night light was so bright that she was worried Yanni might’ve woken up if she protested. So, she had no choice but to go along with it. He could sense that she wasn’t completely into it. He stopped and pressed his lip against hers. Panting lightly, he asked, “What’s the matter?”Leaning her back on the makeup table, her pajamas were pulled open. She looked slightly seductive like that, but she didn’t have room in her mind to care about it. Looking at him, she said softly, “I ran into a guy today. He coul

Mason used to be married to Zoe for many years. Naturally, he could sense that he still had a place in Zoe’s heart. However, she hated him more than she loved him. There was also the fact that she wouldn’t admit that she still had feelings for him. After all, she wouldn’t let herself go and longingly waited for his every thrust if she hadn’t loved him.Both of them knew about it, but none would say it out loud.…Zoe laid next to Yanni by the time they were done. She stayed awake for a long time, lost in thought. She, too, knew that something shifted in their relationship. It was something she didn’t want to admit. If Mason weren’t going to bring it up, she wouldn’t say anything on the matter either. She’d still leave Brookesville when the time was right.Zoe had long grown out of her youth. They had parted ways with each another gut-wrenchingly one too many times. It wasn’t something a great sex or two could fix. All of a sudden, he grabbed her hands in the darkness. He aske

Leaning over, Luke said to his master, “It’s your father, Mr. Mason. Do you want to talk to him?”Mason said with a blank face, “Do you mean Westley?”However, Luke didn’t dare respond to him. Lowering the car window, Mason looked to the side of the car and saw Westley. The man looked older, compared to how he had remembered him. If his memory served him correctly, Westley hadn’t reached forty years old when he left his wife and son. He had been in the prime of his life. A car window was the only thing that separated them, but they didn’t call out to each other and reconcile. Instead, Westley merely stared at his son in silence. Mason had to host the shareholder meeting today. So, he wore a custom-tailored suit that accentuated his dignified and stunning look. He was no longer the little boy Westley knew him to be. On top of it, he gave Westley a cold, distant look the way he would a stranger. Westley’s hands started to tremble. He wanted to call out to his son, but Mason

However, there was only a single red line on the pregnancy test. The result threw her into a daze for a long time. Sitting down on the toilet slowly, she tried but failed to process what she had just seen. It wasn’t as if she had a choice. She had to accept it.She wasn’t pregnant!That left her and Mason two more months to get pregnant. Time was running short. The pressure was immense. She didn’t leave the restroom until she had sat in there for a long time. Mason was playing with Yanni when he heard her footsteps and raised his eyes to look at her. He could see something from her expression, but they were parents now. He knew that some things were better left unsaid in front of the kid. They postponed the talk until Yanni was asleep. Mason took a shower while Zoe sat by the makeup table, combing her hair. Her figure looked so slender underneath the glow of the dim light, retaining the look of someone who hadn’t given birth to a child. Walking over to her, he leaned on the m

Pinching her chin, he kissed her deeply. He gulped and said in his deep, sultry voice, “We’re in the underground parking lot and this is my personal spot. No one’s going to pass by here, but we can do it in the company or a hotel room if that’s what you prefer.”He might’ve made it sound like it wasn’t a big deal, but his body suggested otherwise. In fact, he couldn’t wait to make her his woman right there and then!He even guided her hand to unfasten his belt. At that moment, they weren’t doing it for Yanni. Instead, they did it because they hungered for each other’s bodies and the pleasure it provided. Leaning in her ear, he murmured seductively, “I’ve missed you so much so that my body aches. You were always in my fantasies at night.” Then, he proceeded to tell her something so dirty that it felt wrong to hear, but it worked for her. She was getting more and more aroused by his words. It had been a long time since she was turned on this fast.“Mmm… Mason…”She nibbled his sh

Many years had passed since the tragedy, but how was she supposed to forget that she used to be pregnant with Leslie’s child? More to the point, she could never forget how ghastly the circumstances were that caused her to lose the same baby.The irony wasn’t lost on her when she realized that Leslie made another baby with Nellie!She couldn’t possibly move on from it. Zoe, too, saw the couple at the entrance, so she held Ella’s hand, trying to offer her some comfort. Nellie stepped into the coffee shop and saw Ella. Leslie was probably treating her quite nicely because her old habits returned with a vengeance. Looking at Ella, who still had a place in her husband’s heart, she took a dig at her. “Fancy bumping into you here, Ella!”Ella was glaring at her, the hatred in her eyes so intense that she wanted to squeeze the life out of Nellie there and then. On the other hand, Zoe was much calmer. She looked at Nellie indifferently. “Pleasure meeting you here! It seems life has f

Leslie turned around and left. Nellie was stunned by his reaction and took off after him. “Leslie!”She found him at the end of the hallway, smoking. Then, she approached him and realized that his eyes were completely red. Quivering with anger, she said, “Are you sad because she's about to marry someone else? Do you have lingering feelings for her after all these years, Leslie? “You’ve slept with countless ladies. What makes her so special? What, did she put a spell on you for you to love her so? Or, was it because she was particularly good in bed?”The next thing she knew, she was slapped in the face!Nellie couldn’t believe what just happened. She stared at him incredulously for a brief moment before she yelled hysterically. “Did you just slap me because of her? I’m pregnant, for Heaven’s sake!”“That’s not my baby in your belly!” he said coldly. Nellie was stunned. She murmured, “Are you out of your mind? What do you think you’re saying, Leslie?”Lowering his gaze, he loo
