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
Chapter 94: Surprise!
Narrated by Peyton:My pregnancy is going well. I haven't had any problems so far, and it continues that way. Mason spends more time at the office than at home. Well, I can't really call it home because that jerk still hasn't taken me to live where I asked him to. On the other hand, my beloved mother-in-law comes to see me almost every day. She offers to keep me company, or if I want to go shopping, she's available and willing to do whatever I want.I don't fully trust what she shows me. No matter how hard she tries, I won't trust her. I'm sure she still misses and adores her Paige. I don't believe anything she says about the affection she claims to feel for me.I'm convinced that Mason hasn't stopped loving that woman, and that's why he doesn't want us to move into that house. That's why he makes up excuses for us not to get married yet. It has been a month since he got divorced, and I'm very annoyed that he hasn't asked me to marry him.Everything has a limit, and mine is reaching i
Chapter 95: What Are You Hiding, Mother?
Narrated by Mason:After Peyton's phone call, I had only a few minutes to come up with a plan. The first person I call is my mother; she's the only one who can help me in this situation. She has been visiting Peyton as much as possible and building a friendship with her.I explain the problem I'm facing, and she suggests that the best thing I can do is buy a new house, or she can gift us one so that we don't have to live in the same house where I lived with Paige. I like her plan, but I'm not sure if it can be achieved.She proposes that I tell Peyton I'm organizing a surprise wedding for us and that I'll take her to a paradise island. I have no idea where that is, but my mother has many friends and partners through the charitable campaigns she participates in with various foundations. Surely, she will help me arrange everything.Furthermore, she tells me that she will buy us a house because she doesn't want us to live in the same one where I was happy with Paige. I support her decisi
Chapter 96: Doubts and Anguish
Narrated by Emily:The long-awaited moment has arrived. I don't have any evidence, but I know the truth. A truth that no one knows, and I won't reveal it until I have the support for what I have to say.As for the wedding, well, that's something I've been planning for a few days. However, not everything is as it seems. I have been in contact with many people, and several individuals are helping me with this. I just hope to gather the evidence at the right time and that everything turns out well.I have been visiting the handsome doctor more frequently and have managed to earn his trust regarding some secrets he holds. For example, he disclosed that he can assist me if I ever need or want to feign an illness. That reminded me of when my son and Paige returned from their trip, they were happy and determined to give their relationship a chance. But when Mason saw this woman, everything changed. After that, I recall she began experiencing discomfort and had to be on complete bed rest duri
Chapter 97: Test Results
Narrated by Paige:I took the tests, and the results will take two days—TWO DAYS! Ever since the doctor hinted that pregnancy is a possibility (because why else would he mention it?), I can't stop thinking about it. I've reached a point where I might even psych myself into getting pregnant. I've been observing myself in the mirror, and well, I haven't gained or lost weight. I haven't had any nausea, dizziness, or vomiting. Honestly, several times a day, I check my belly to see if it's still flat.I've become the laughingstock among my friends with my craziness about a possible pregnancy. I remember that yesterday when I came back from the doctor, they came over to see me.*Flashback*"Hey, friend! How did it go?" they both ask, concerned, at the same time."Fine, they asked for blood tests as part of a check-up," I say, trying to leave it at that. But my not-so-discreet friend smiles and says, "You might be pregnant," then heads to the kitchen."What? Pregnant?" John asks me."Yes, bu
Chapter 98: Pregnant
Narrated by Paige:Right now, I'm at home in my room, the only place where I feel calm. I'm lying on my bed, looking up at the ceiling, completely exhausted.Tabatha is overjoyed because she's going to be an aunt, while I'm still trying to process the news. It's not easy. And yes, I know that maybe I'm acting like a terrible mother, maybe I'm feeling things I shouldn't feel, but hormones are like that. They make me overly sensitive, and nobody understands that I can pretend to be fine when deep down, this is something that's hard to accept. It's not something that can be assumed overnight. It's a tremendous responsibility. And even more so when I was convinced that it wasn't my case, when I was certain that it couldn't be possible.I've been going back in time, doing the math, counting each day over and over again, thinking and reflecting on the last time I was with Mason. That must have been the moment when the baby was conceived. I try to calculate the weeks, but my mind fails me. I
