Chapter 86: Riley
Narrated by Paige:It has been two days, and right now, I'm waiting for Riley at the airport. I'm worried about her seriousness when she spoke to me on the phone. She said she has something very important to tell me, and I can't help but think of a thousand scenarios.I see her approaching me, and I expected a joyful smile, but what I see is one of pity. That sets off alarm bells in my brain about what she has to tell me."Friend, how are you?" she says, hugging me."Riley, you have no idea how much I've missed you. How are you?" I ask in return."I wish I could say I'm fine and that I'm here for a visit, but it's not the case. As I've mentioned in our phone calls, we have something very important to discuss," she says, taking my hand."How about we go to my car and find a place to talk, so we're not here in the middle of the airport?" I respond, smiling nervously."Sure, let's go to your car and talk," she says, sounding nervous.We walk in silence, and we reach my car. I put her sui
Chapter 87: Mason
Narrated by Mason:At the check-up, the doctor tells us that the baby is doing well, but that doesn't mean Peyton can go back to her normal hectic life. The doctor advises us to gradually resume her normal routine, starting with walking around the house for a few hours and increasing the time each day. We don't want a repeat of what happened before.The doctor also emphasizes that Peyton should avoid anger and stress. During this time, it's best for her not to work and not to burden herself with excessive things that require mental effort, so that she can have a calm pregnancy and ensure the healthy growth of our child within her.I nod to everything the doctor says and keep in mind all the things I need to do for Peyton. At the end of the appointment, the doctor gives us a photograph of our baby, and I leave with a stupid grin on my face. It's my baby growing inside her. This news makes me so happy. It feels like now that I've seen the photo and been to the check-up, I'm finally gras
Chapter 88: Two Weeks Later

Today is the day I will expose all of Peyton's lies.I told her that I had planned a baby shower for my grandson. She's very excited about what I supposedly prepared.I have the venue where all the guests will gather, not that there are many, only the ones who are genuinely interested."Peyton's friend" Mason will be there, along with Ethan, Sarah, Riley, and my husband. I sent an invitation to Paige, but she confirmed that she won't attend. I explained to her that it's not what she thinks, but she still didn't want to come.I hope that when everything is over, I can explain to her why it took so long to expose this woman who pretends to love my son and a family that was never close to forming with him.In my bag, I have the DNA sample with the result. Even during this time that has passed, I managed to obtain the DNA from her friend, the neighbor. As for the doctor, he didn
Chapter 89: The Signing
Narrated by Mason:The day has arrived. Finally, I will see Paige again. I feel excited, sad, and angry all at once. I wish things could have been different between us, but I can't do anything to change the past.I look at myself in the mirror of our bedroom, where I still sleep, trying to sense her scent. Even though there's nothing left, I refuse to stop sleeping here, at least until Peyton moves in. I've thought about permanently closing this room and using the one next to it for us. That way, the one next to it will be for the baby. I hope Peyton won't mind that.The pregnancy is progressing well. She hasn't had any pain, and her next check-up is in two weeks.I'm on my way to the meeting with my lawyer and Paige and her lawyer. I'm really anxious to see her.I get out of the car and walk faster than I intend to, just so I can see her. As I enter, I spot her from a distance. She looks even more beautiful than before if that's even possible.She hasn't noticed my presence, so I tak
Chapter 90: Cold
Narration: PaigeUpon my arrival, my friends greet me at the airport. Sarah starts crying and hugs me tightly. I don't say anything; her pregnancy has made her very emotional, at least that's what Ethan has told me through messages.Riley is as usual, she's not as affectionate as Sarah. I greet them both and we head to Sarah's house. I'm surprised to see that they have everything planned out, even the lawyer has her own room in this house.At Emily's house, my friend and Mason's father are waiting for me. I greet them both with hugs, and what can I say about Simba? He's thrilled to be with the people he missed. It hurts to see certain things, like my baby being happier here than with me. Despite having space and the ocean to run and enjoy, I feel like he's happier being with everyone here than being with me. It's something I've been contemplating, it hurts to face the truth, but it's an option I will consider when I leave.They update me on my friend's pregnancy news, show me the phot
Chapter 91: Mason
Narrating Mason:After seeing her enter the office and being alone with her, I try to apologize and explain that I fell in love with her, but I couldn't do anything about Peyton's pregnancy. It was something that slipped through my fingers. However, she gets upset and doesn't let me finish talking.There's no point in insisting anymore. She's completely different from who she was before, and I understand that she had to move on. It's the least she can do.I decide not to say anything and just continue working, or rather, bringing her up to date on the company. We have already signed the divorce papers; we are now ex-spouses.I don't know how long we've been here discussing work matters. All I know is that her stomach growled, indicating she was hungry, and I offered to take her out for a meal. It was predictable that she would refuse.We say our goodbyes because she's going to have lunch with Sarah, and I received a call from Peyton. Paige caught a glimpse of Peyton's name on the scre
Chapter 92: Paige
Paige narrates. I find myself at Sarah's house, eating while I look at her, annoyed that she left me alone with Mason. Although she insists that she didn't do it with bad intentions, she just remembered that she had things to do, as if I were foolish.I don't plan on going back to the office. Luckily, Mason explained the most important things to me, and now I understand and can handle all the company matters. Now I'm contemplating whether it would be a good idea to run things from here or from there.The good thing about being the owner is that I can come in only for important matters and manage the company from Brazil or the other option is to stay here and handle everything from here. I could do it, but it's not the best option, at least not for now. My heart is still healing, and I can't just stay, and watch Mason be happy and become a father with that woman.The next day...A new day begins, and my lawyer informs me that she is returning home today. It surprises me because I tho
Chapter 93: One Month Later
Narrated by MasonIt has been a few weeks, exactly four, and Peyton is stressing me out with the house move. The truth is, I've been trying to create as many obstacles as possible to avoid living in that place. However, she's determined to have that house.Through Ethan, I found out that my now ex-wife went back to where she was living, a place that I still don't know about by her orders. I can't see her social media because she deleted me from all of them, but despite the time that has passed, she still occupies my heart entirely.My mother has been visiting Peyton and helping me come up with excuses to live in my own house. She even offered her a better one as a wedding gift, but Peyton is not convinced to accept it.Simba stayed with my parents. Paige left him with them because she didn't think it was fair to take him away and separate him from everyone. That's good because it means she has to visit him from time to time, which works well for me. Although my mother will know when s
