Zoe Sanders wasn’t sure if every cheating man had two phones. Mason’s lover sent a picture to him while he was in the bathroom. She was a delicate young lady, but she was dressed in elegant attire that didn’t exactly fit her age. So, she looked a little out of place. “Thank you for the birthday present, Mason.”Zoe stared at his phone for a long time. Then, her eyes welled up. She knew Mason had kept a lover on the side, but she didn’t think she’d look like this. Aside from the obvious heartache, Zoe was surprised at her husband’s taste in women as well.She felt sorry that she saw his secret. Then, she heard the bathroom door opening. Mason wrapped a towel over his defined muscle and sturdy chest. He was tall and sensual.“How long are you going to look at it?” He took the phone away, glanced at her, and started getting dressed. He wasn’t the least bit embarrassed over the fact that she caught him cheating. Zoe knew very well that he was able to act this way because he was the

Six years! That was how long she had loved him! Zoe closed her eyes abruptly.…It was a Friday night. Something bad happened in the Sanders house. Mason still wasn’t home. They received news that the eldest child in the Sanders family, Noah, might be facing a ten-year sentence because of the Sanders Group’s financial case.Ten years imprisonment was long enough to ruin someone’s life. Her dad was hospitalized due to a brain hemorrhage. It was critical and he needed to undergo surgery immediately. Zoe stood in the hospital hallway and called Mason non-stop, but he didn’t answer. Just when she was about to give up, he sent her a text via WhatsApp. It was brief as usual. “I’m still in Hucksburgh. Find Ava if you need anything.”She gave him a call again, and he answered this time. Zoe said at once, “Mason. My dad is…” Mason cut her off abruptly. He sounded a tad impatient, “Is this about the money? I told you. Just look for Ava. She’ll hook you up… Are you even listening, Zoe?”

Mason went back to Brookesville three days later. It was already evening when the black RV rolled into the villa and the chauffeur killed its engine. Then, he opened the car door for his master.Mason got out of the car. He saw that the chauffeur was about to take his luggage and said, “I can do it myself.”The servants rushed at him as soon as he entered the living room. “Something happened to your father-in-law a few days ago, Mr. Mason. Ms. Zoe is in a bad mood. She’s upstairs now!”He knew what had happened to the Sanders family. Irritated, he took his luggage upstairs and opened his bedroom door. Zoe was tidying up the dresser. He put down his luggage, loosened his tie, and studied her. Zoe had loved doing the house chores, cleaning up, and making snacks ever since they had gotten married. If it had not been for her outstanding looks and graceful physique, she would have been no different from a nanny.Zoe did not say a word for a long time. Mason was quite worn out from the

“Yeah. You gave me a hundred thousand dollars every month when my family was in trouble. However, I feel like a hooker every time I take the check from you. “It felt like you were paying me after you had your way with me in bed!”…Mason cut her off coldly. “Is that how you see it?” He pinched her chin softly. “Do you think hookers don’t know how to please a man sexually, like you? You don’t even know how to moan. All you did was squeal like a kitty!“You want to divorce me, huh? Do you have any idea the kind of life you'll have if you leave me…?”Zoe felt pain from his pinch and raised her hand to break free. He caught her hand and stared at her ring finger. “Where’s your wedding ring?”“I sold it off!” She said miserably. “I’m going to divorce you, Mason!”It took everything she had to utter those words. She had loved him for six years. If it had not been for what she saw and the fireworks that night, she might have still felt compelled to lock herself in this loveless ma

He had to have her. There was no changing his mind. Furthermore, Zoe looked so delicate beneath him. He might not have loved her, but he did love her body.Mason was unapologetic as he moved to have sex with her. Zoe held him off by his shoulders, her breath labored. “I didn’t take the pill for the past few days, Mason. You’re going to get me pregnant.”He stopped in his tracks. He might want it badly, but he had not lost his good sense. He had no plans to have a baby with Zoe. Not yet, anyway. Mason paused for a while before sneering. “You thought things through, it seems!”Her defiance meant nothing to him. He placed one of his hands on her side and took out a box of condoms from the nightstand with another.He was about to tear it open when his phone rang! He ignored it, tore it up, and leaned in to kiss Zoe. She shook her head, trying to break free from him.His phone kept ringing.Mason finally picked it up, displeased. It was his mother, Lisa. “Your grandma isn’t feelin

Chapter 6

Mason knew his grandma said that on purpose, but he stole a glance at Zoe nonetheless. She had no intention of acting all lovey-dovey with him. She chatted with Barbara for a while before standing up and said, “I’ll make the pretzels now.”The smile on Barbara’s face was gone as soon as Zoe left. Then, she leaned back. “What’s up with Lilith, Mason? You can look after her a little, but fireworks are a tad too much. Zoe might be jealous of her and pick a bone with you.“You should make more effort for Zoe. Don’t neglect her.“She might just run away if you continue to treat her like she’s nothing.”…Mason gave Barbara some answers to appease her, but he did not bother to justify the fireworks. Perhaps it was Ava’s doing! They had been chatting for a while when Zoe came in with the snacks. He looked at her and saw that she kept her shirt clean. She was so elegant and beautiful. Every lady should follow her example. He lost his appetite for food all of a sudden. Barbara, on th

Zoe released her grip on the car door handle. The atmosphere in the car was oppressive.Mason was actually tired from his trip and the subsequent visit to Lockwood Manor. He rubbed his brow with one hand and gripped the steering wheel with another, the impatience clear in his voice. “When are you going to stop being unreasonable?”So, he merely thought she was being unreasonable. How disappointing. Zoe sat upright and said softly after a brief pause, “I’m serious, Mason! I don’t want to be with you anymore!” He turned around and looked at her. He looked so dashing with his sharp features. She used to fall for him every time, but she felt nothing now. Not even a little. …Mason stared at her and unbuckled his seat belt. “Out of the car!” Zoe exited the car as soon as he unlocked the doors and walked briskly toward the villa. She puffed up her chest, determined to go through with the divorce. Mason smoked a cigarette before he got out of the car and went upstairs. They e

Zoe tightened the thermal jug’s lid and said softly, “I’ll find a way around it! The money I made from selling my wedding ring will support Dad’s medical bill for half a year. “As for Noah’s legal fee, I’m going to sell this house. Aside from that, I’ll look for a job that’ll let me support the family.” Tears started to build up in Zoe’s eyes. Her birth mother left this house for them. They had never had to sell it away despite the hardships they went through in the past. Mia was taken aback. She might have stopped persuading Zoe, but deep down she disagreed with it. Both of them went to the hospital after Zoe was done with her preparations.Gordon Sanders had stabilized greatly after the doctor treated him. He was merely a little distressed, worrying about Noah’s future. Zoe said nothing about her divorce. In the afternoon, Gordon’s doctor came to check on him.Doctor Cecil was a young and revered neurosurgeon with a Ph.D. Boasting a height of six feet, he was graceful, gentle

Chapter 9

Zoe thought it was inappropriate. “We’re in the hospital, Mason!”“Obviously.” Mason was unfazed. He pressed against her hard and whispered into her ears menacingly, “Do you know who he is?” Zoe could read the subtext of his question. He was the director of the Lockwood Pharmaceutical Group. As such, he was clad in both power and status. He would never allow his wife to get too close to another man.Zoe smiled bitterly, “My mind isn’t filthy like yours, Mason. I’m not in the mood. Listen to me. I won’t get in bed with anyone else before our divorce is finalized.”With that, she shoved him aside and went into Gordon’s ward. Mason was at her heels. His eyes narrowed. He could not believe Gordon was not staying in a solitary ward. Mia took a chair for him and said softly, “Have a seat! Don’t just stand there, Zoe! You can go home with Mason later. Leave your dad to me!”Mason sat down and chatted with Gordon. He might have been cold to Zoe all this time, but he presented himself

Chapter 10

He rarely forgave Zoe, but surprisingly, she rejected him. Zoe withdrew her slender finger. Mason’s patience was not without its limits, “What on earth do you want from me?”Zoe answered, “I want a divorce!”His work was demanding enough. Now, Zoe insisted on not going back home with him. Also, he had trouble finding the right cuff links this morning. Mason was about to pull his hair out. He was going to lose it when he saw Cecil chatting with a nurse in front of a white BMW in the parking lot. Mason was ticked off even more and clicked his tongue. At that moment, his phone rang. It was Ava. He answered the call and said, “What?”Ava said, “Ms. Lilith fell to the ground when she was getting out of her bed earlier. She might’ve hurt the nerves in her legs. She’s in a foul mood now. Do you want to visit her at Hucksburgh? She might be happy to see you.”Mason held his phone and said nothing. Needless to say, he did not want to upset Zoe. However, she heard everything because
