Chapter 16: Gift
One month later...We've been married for a month now. Our parents found out, and obviously, my mother was quite upset. I can't say the same about my in-laws; they didn't take it as badly as my mother did. The lawyer is already aware of the wedding, so we have one less month to go of the three-year agreement. It's something, at least.I'm currently living with Mason in the hotel. We didn't want to buy a house just for three years; it doesn't make sense to make that expense. Tonight, we're invited to have dinner with my in-laws. I have to admit they adore me, and I adore them too. We hardly ever visit my parents; we're always at Mason's parents' house.As for the doubts and investigations by the lawyer, or rather, the investigator she hired, he gave me the information. It turns out that the person in question is a friend of Mason's. According to what she told me, he doesn't have any girlfriends, but this friend makes him feel something special. I know this only from a photograph I saw.
Chapter 17: The New House
The next day, we get ready to go to the new house, and we're excited. Mason knocked on my door very early, just to take Simba outside for his needs. He told me he likes to go for a run in the early morning, and he took Simba with him. I took the opportunity to sleep a little longer. I've never been a fan of waking up too early, so when I saw it was 6 am, I turned around to go back to sleep. They returned when I was already dressed and ready. My baby came back tired and thirsty. I give him water and food while Mason gets ready for us to leave. Once he's ready, we go out for breakfast since Simba can't enter the hotel restaurant, and we didn't want to order in the room. He had been cooped up in a room for too long. We order takeout, and we hit the road to the new house to have our meal there. When we arrive at the house, I'm left speechless. It's beautiful, not too big, and it has a lovely garden. We enter, and I silently observe, falling more and more in love with what I see. I don't
Chapter 18: Conversations with Riley
The girls help me organize the party they came up with, and my husband approved it the moment Sarah informed him about it. He didn't even ask; she told me herself. I love the trust that friends like Sarah and Ethan have. I wish I could have a friend like that someday, someone I can trust blindly. Since I'm not a good hostess, they kidnap me from classes to take me shopping. Ever since we got married, Mason gave me a card with money to use for household expenses. It's not that I needed it; my parents have money. Although it was better because, since I got married, they haven't been talking to me. They didn't take it well when they heard the rumors about us getting married in secret. Especially my mother, who cares a lot about what people say. I guess you could say they've disowned me since I got married. Not my father, though. He told me that after the three years, I'll be able to take my place as the president of the company. Mason is aware of what happened with my parents, and sinc
Chapter 19: I Drank Too Much
The party is wonderful. Despite being small and with family, we have a very pleasant evening, laughing at Simba's mischief with the decorations. My in-laws are the only ones who leave the house. They have their plans, but what surprises me is when they say goodbye and my mother-in-law tells me, "Darling, would you mind if we take Simba for the rest of the weekend? We have planned a trip to the countryside, and I'm sure Simba would be happy to have all that space to run. However, if you're not okay with it, I understand. He's your baby, and I'll accept whatever you say," she says nervously, with a smile. "I have no problem with it. I'm not selfish enough to not let him be with you and just with me. Besides, it will be good for him to go out and have more space to run and explore," I reply. "If Mason agrees, I have no objections," I say, looking at my husband as he approaches me. When he reaches my side, he wraps his arm around my waist and smiles at his mother. I'm not foolish enoug
Chapter 20: Drunk Paige
P.O.V. MASON It's been a long time since the last time. Things have changed too much. Peyton went abroad to study; thanks to some favors I pulled off. She doesn't know that I helped her arrange that trip, it's something she doesn't need to know. I only want what's best for her. I'm married now. Paige is an amazing woman. Every day I get to know her a little more, and I fear that I might start feeling something more than just sibling affection, as I promised her wouldn't happen. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable around me. We still have over two years of marriage ahead of us. I really like her friendship with Sarah, Riley, and Ethan. I've also become friends with Riley, and she's a great girl. A bit crazy, but who doesn't have a touch of madness inside them, right? Our parents gave us a house, as you may already know, with a baby and a dog. Paige named him Simba. It's not the best name, but seeing Paige fall in love with the puppy at first sight, I couldn't deny her anything r
Chapter 21: Best Decision
Mason narrates: I think I've been sitting on the deck for an hour and a bit now. I've been thinking about what just happened with my wife, what I couldn't do. I couldn't live with myself having kissed her in the state she's in. I am one hundred percent sure that she will not remember tomorrow anything she said and did tonight. At least since we went to the room. I get up because I don't want them to think something bad happened, go up to our room and walk in very slowly. Paige is still asleep, and I watch her do something as simple as that, she looks beautiful. I walk over and kiss her forehead. “You have no idea what you're doing to me," I whisper. After telling her that I lay down next to her and watch her sleep for a few more minutes, until I fall into the arms of Morpheus next to her. Paige narrates: I'm asleep and I hear them whispering something, besides feeling lips on my forehead, I don't manage to understand what Mason is telling me, because he's the only one who can
Chapter 22: Doubts
"Unbelievable, I think you stole my friend. It was always me who brought her magical hangover remedies," Mason says, crossing his arms as if nothing had happened last night."Well, you see, I'm adorable. It was impossible for it not to happen," I reply, lying back down."You have to sleep for that hour for it to take effect. Actually, I think I'll do the same. I still feel sleepy. I'm sorry for lying on top of you like Sarah said. She's not aware of what she's saying," Mason says, blushing, as he lies down next to me, both of us staring at the ceiling of the room."Don't worry, it's fine," I reply, closing my eyes.I try to find a comfortable position to sleep, but nothing seems to work. I turn around and face away from Mason. I hear him say something that I don't quite understand until I feel his fingers in my hair."This usually relaxes a lot," he says, moving his fingers through my hair, causing me to involuntarily moan from how good it feels."I'm sorry," I say with a tired voice
