Mason narrates:We've been on the road for a month now, admittedly these days have been perfect. I haven't thought about anything other than what's going to happen to the relationship we're forming with Paige.We are still having breakfast in Paris; we have not moved from here at Paige's request. I'm happy to oblige her wishes, all her wishes.I have made a decision about what will happen when we leave home, which is that I love her, and I want to be with her. I will talk to Peyton when I return and explain to her that even though I feel indebted to her for all the time she has had to wait I cannot be.with her without loving her. With how well she took the news of the time she needed I think she has also been in doubt about how she felt about me.I am determined to continue with Paige to be happy with her, it is the best I can do. I can't live a charade with Peyton, I will only make us both suffer. Me because I don't love her and her because she will be with someone who doesn't love
P.O.V Mason:I'm in shock, how is she pregnant? I mean, I know how she got pregnant, but she was taking precautions. That's what doesn't add up."I'm really sorry," she says, distressed."Don't apologize, I don't know what to say. I mean, this news really caught me off guard," I nervously comment."I know and I understand. That's why I'm telling you that it's not necessary for you to stay by our side. You're in love with another woman, and you won't see me again in your life," she responds, crying.I can't bear to see her cry. I don't want to be separated from my child's life. I've always wanted to be a father. On the other hand, my mother will go crazy when she finds out, and my father will tell me that I have to take responsibility for my actions and take care of Peyton and the baby. I can imagine what lies ahead."You don't have to leave. I want to be in the baby's life if you'll allow me. Of course," I nervously say."I truly prefer to distance myself from you than to see you with
Mason narrates:I finish work and I'm surprised I haven't heard from Paige; we were supposed to have lunch together. However, at the last minute she told me she couldn't make it because of an appointment she had forgotten about.I notice her voice is strange, I have a feeling that something is not right with her.I hurry to leave work to go home, I hope to meet her there and see her. I miss her, even though it's only been hours without seeing her. After a month of being together 24 hours a day, I feel that I miss her presence by my side.I am completely in love with Paige, I have no doubt about it. In thinking a lot about the whole Peyton and pregnancy thing, I think I have made the right decision on that subject.I will talk to Paige, although I don't know how she will take the news I can't keep hiding this. Regardless of what Peyton decides, it's something I can't hide forever. Somehow, she will find out and I'd rather it be from me than from third parties.On the way home she bough
Narrated by Paige:Upon receiving Mason's call, I suspected that he wouldn't be coming home to sleep. He already has a family with Peyton, and he didn't even have the courage to face me and tell me everything as he should.Sarah came with me to my house. We couldn't continue talking at her office; it was dangerous because of Ethan. She has a hard time accepting that Mason will be a father with Peyton. She didn't take the news well."What do you plan to do when he looks for you tomorrow?" she asks me, and I shrug, confused."I don't know. I feel confused, hurt, and angry with him. I feel awful," I say, resting my head on her shoulder."I still can't believe it. How can he not come home? I swear, if I were you, I'd kick him out onto the street. He broke the contract. I mean, he's my friend, and I care about him. However, I can't stand his lack of respect towards you. Why start something with you when on the day they left, he went to see her and was with her? She's one month pregnant, al
Paige narrates:I take a breath and begin to speak. “I do know about the pregnancy and not because of you. I think that's what hurt and disappointed me the most. I waited when you came back from seeing her for you to tell me what happened, however, you told me you had nothing to tell me. Being that at that moment you found out about her pregnancy. We have only one month left of marriage; I have been thinking and I will leave. I'm not interested in staying by your side, destroying a family for a company. Tell my parents whatever you want, I don't care, I'll go live in Brazil. You can keep everything; I'm not interested in material things. I just want to get away from you and start again. You can say whatever you want, the most important thing for me right now is to get away from you. I hope you will be happy with your new family, and I am leaving in two days, the ones I will not stay here. I will say goodbye to your parents, but I will only tell them that I have to travel. I will not
Mason narrates.I stand waiting for several minutes for her to open the door to her room, however, only silence can be felt.I walk to the second floor looking for her, I don't think she left that same night, she told me she was leaving tomorrow, I don't understand where she went.I go back upstairs since I don't even see Simba, she wouldn't leave without letting me say goodbye to our little dog, I don't think she would do that. I knock again on her door and nothing, no answer. Impatience gets the better of me and I open the door. To my surprise it was not locked, I enter the room and see everything empty, the closet, the bed untouched, the bedside tables with nothing. I go into the bathroom and realize that he is gone.I sit on the side of the bed she used to occupy, an envelope resting on the bed catches my attention. I pick it up and it has my name on it.Dear Mason:I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye, but I'm sure it would have hurt us both more to have said goodbye. Fate did
P.O.V Paige:After talking to Mason, I pack my things and head to Ethan and Sarah's house. I had already spoken to them, well, at least with Sarah, about staying here tonight. I don't want to spend this night at home; I don't feel comfortable there. I only feel pain from sharing the house with him.I write him a letter in which I express my feelings and my justification for leaving right now instead of tomorrow, as I had previously told him.I can't sleep all night; I spend it caressing my baby. Although I didn't tell Sarah that the next day.Right now, I'm having breakfast with my friend.“Our last breakfast together," she says, wiping away her tears.“Don't be silly. You can come and visit me whenever you want. You're the only one who will know where I am with Riley. You can both come and have a girls' vacation," I say, trying to cheer her up.“It won't be the same. Here, I can see you every day," she says, crying."Why are you so sensitive? That's not like you," I say, squinting at
Mason narrates:I watch the vehicle drive away and feel my heart go with it.The kiss I stole from her still keeps my lips warm, I don't want them to grow cold. I want to feel her softness forever with me.It's like a part of me left with Paige, a part that I won't get back.My cell phone pulls me out of my thoughts, I look at it and it's Peyton again, I sigh and don't want to answer it. Finally, I let it ring and put it away.Life goes on, with pain, but it goes on. So, I take the road to the office. I have to work and organize everything. Besides, I can't live forever mourning the love I've lost with Paige.My day is focused on working and working. I don't want to think about anything else, it's the best I can do. Counting that I now run two businesses, Paige’s, and mine.Peyton narrates:Since he didn't answer my call last night, the first thing I do when I wake up is call him back. I don't want him to think that because I'm pregnant I'm going to be a cuckold, I'm not.When he tell
