Chapter 39: Suspicions
I observe Emily, who is sitting in front of me, eating pizza. If her dinner was pizza, it's something I love.She thinks I don't notice her glancing at the door and checking the time every few minutes, so I curiously ask her, "Do you have to leave?" She tries to hide her eagerness upon hearing my question."No, it's just that I find it strange that Mason hasn't arrived. Does he often come home late?" she asks, picking up her phone."No, not at all. It never happens, except for this time when he had something to take care of," I nervously reply. "I'm going to call him to make sure everything is okay," I tell her, reaching for my phone."Let's wait and see if he arrives. It might be that he's driving or close to home," she says, checking the time.I notice her nervousness, so discreetly, I quickly type a message on my phone, "Your mom is here, waiting to see you." I put my phone aside and look at Emily, who currently has Simba on her lap. Every time she comes home, my baby jumps onto he
Chapter 40: Mistake
Mason narrates:After my mother leaves my office very angry and disappointed in me, it was as if something inside me changed. In the sense that the best thing to do is to be honest with my mother and explain the whole situation to her, she knows that this marriage is a contract and Peyton doesn't deserve to look like the bad guy in this, as she and I were victims of the fate we had planned. She knew nothing about the wedding and the rest, we met at a time that was not ours, however, the love we have for each other is sincere and I talked to her.She was afraid that I didn't feel the same way she did before, that's why she was behaving that way, but she is not like that, I know it and she confirmed it to me.My plan was to talk to my mother, but the look of disappointment made me feel really bad, being that not everything is as she thinks it is, Paige also has her adventures, the only difference is that I am in love with Peyton and I am not going to leave her and I am not going to give
Chapter 41: Lies
Paige narrates:After leaving the bathroom I realize my husband is not in the room, so I calmly get dressed and then go downstairs to the living room.Breakfast is already waiting for us, only Mason isn't down yet, I thank the housekeeper and she leaves. I drink my coffee while I count to a thousand before getting up to look for my husband, my patience is not much this morning.In minutes a distressed Mason comes downstairs, he must be. He smiles at me, and I don't smile back."Good morning," she says, sitting across from me as usual."Tell me what happened with Ethan yesterday. I don't want to go to work and find out that he and Sarah know about the agreement or who knows what," I say, annoyed."Tell him about the agreement? Do you really think so? I didn't say anything. I just drank too much, and I might have spouted those typical confessions of married men. Just like I've often heard him complain about Sarah, I vented," she says, sipping her morning coffee with milk."What complain
Chapter 42: Telling the Truth
Narrating as Mason:"You're getting mad at me for making you mad? You're really something," he says, annoyed."The truth is, I don't remember anything from last night, and that's why I want you to tell me what I said because I remember nothing at all," I say, feeling distressed."You told me that after getting married, you met Peyton, fell in love at first sight, and no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't resist being with her. I genuinely don't understand how you could do that to Paige. I never thought you'd be capable of such a thing. Why don't you just separate from your wife and start a life with this woman who stole your heart? Those were your words last night. You're my friend, and I care about you, but it bothers me to know that you cheated on Paige. Is that woman worth jeopardizing your principles?" he angrily reproaches, trying to contain himself."I'm sorry. It's something I didn't plan," I respond, unsure of what to say."Of course, you didn't plan it. If you had, you w
Chapter 43: More Lies
P.O.V Mason:After telling Ethan everything, my friend commented,"I understand everything about the contract and how you married without knowing her, and that each of you has your own adventures, well, she does because you're already breaking the agreement you both made of not having a fixed lover. I'm sure your mom won't accept her. You know how much she adores Paige, and Sarah, even without knowing about the contract, won't want to see you with another woman. You're the master of your own life. I just want to say, think carefully about what you're doing, get to know that woman well before formalizing things with her. Over time, your mother will have to come to terms with the fact that she's the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with," he advises me, not knowing Peyton.I'm sure that when she gets to know Peyton, she'll adore her because my precious Peyton is perfect.After lunch, we go back to our respective jobs. I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders. More relaxed, a
Chapter 44: Emily's Version
Emily narrates:I find it hard to believe that my son is such a goofball when it comes to this woman he claims to be in love with. He may be madly in love, but I don't think it's reciprocated. He is too naive when he blindly trusts this girl. I only had to see her once to realize that she is not in love with my baby.You can see the difference between a normal look and a look of love, it is something that perhaps you do not understand, however, I have noticed it.I still find it hard to assimilate that my dear Paige is aware of the existence of this woman, at what point did she find out? How did she take that? As I said before, I noticed the look she was giving my son. That's why I had hoped that at some point in these three years they would fall in love and be happy, the sad thing is that things don't always happen the way you want them to.Now I understand many things that I didn't before, for example, a small change in Paige's look towards Mason, I don't want to say that she doesn'
Chapter 45: Dinner
3 months later...Paige narrates:It's now only nine months until the marriage is over and I find myself looking forward to it. I haven't had a bad "marriage" so to speak, I mean I haven't suffered abuse, beatings, that sort of thing. Infidelity doesn't count because it wasn't true love that we had for each other.Lately Mason has been all husband, he doesn't go out anywhere and if he does it's with me at his insistence not mine. So, I haven't been able to go out and have fun either.Tonight, we have an important dinner for Mason's family, I don't know what it's about, only that Emily was very insistent that we should go on behalf of the family.Right now, I am getting ready to go, I am almost ready, I just need my shoes. As I go downstairs, I see a very sexy Mason in his formal suit. He is speechless when he sees me, since I put more care in getting ready this time than in the previous ones and I think it has had the result I expected.When I get to dinner, I see that my in-laws are
Chapter 46: Feelings
Mason narrates:In these last three months I haven't seen Peyton, we talk less by messages since my mother said those words to me.I clarify that it's not because I don't trust her, it's not because of that. I didn't tell her everything, I just told her that since there is a year left it is best that we don't see each other to avoid problems with my family and because of the contract. At first, she did not want to stop seeing me, she insisted on doing it on the sly.I was firm in my decision not to see her for a while to avoid problems with my family. Also, since there is so little time left before the end of the contract time, I have taken advantage of the opportunity to mend the relationship with Paige, our friendship is closer than ever. We spend time watching movies or series.My mother forced us to come to a dinner that we had no details about, when we arrive, I am surprised to see that it is in our honor, my mother since the day we spoke has been distant with me and more attache
