Chapter 5

I had completely run out of patience.

“Security! Are you deaf? Throw them out. From now on, Mason Rivers and his mistress are not allowed inside any property under the Wills family.”

The guards moved quickly, grabbing them on either side.

Mason struggled wildly, his face twisted with fury as he shouted at me, “Yuna! You’ll regret this. You hear me? You’ll regret it!”

That very night, I received a message from an unknown number.

[You think this is enough to steal Mason away? Guess again. He doesn’t care at all; he’s happily taking me overseas on vacation right now.]

I didn’t need to guess who it was. I blocked the number without a second thought.

During that time, William and Grace still tried to come see me, but I refused to let them in.

A week later, I checked Edwin’s flight arrival time and drove to the airport to pick him up.

The moment I stepped into the international arrivals hall, I ran straight into Mason and Joyce.

They were both a shade darker, wearing sunglasses, looking every bit like they’d just come back from a carefree holiday.

When Mason saw me, his smile was full of smug satisfaction. “I knew you couldn’t let me go. You even came all the way here to pick me up.”

I didn’t bother responding. I looked at him the way one might look at an idiot.

Joyce chimed in, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Oh, come on, Yuna, don’t be upset anymore.

“Mason didn’t mean to leave you out of the trip. As his fiancée, you should be more understanding.”

Mason clearly enjoyed that. He lifted a hand, trying to drape it over my shoulder, but I sidestepped him.

He didn’t get angry.

Instead, he looked even more pleased, as if he thought I was just throwing a little tantrum.

“Alright, enough. Once we get the paperwork done, I’ll make it up to you with an even more luxurious honeymoon. That sound fair?”

“Move.” I stepped around them without hesitation. “Don’t block my way.”

I broke into a light run and threw myself into Edwin’s arms.

“Welcome home, honey.”

He caught me effortlessly, lowering his head to press a gentle kiss against my hair.

Behind me, the smug smile on Mason’s face froze instantly.

After a brief, suffocating silence, his voice exploded in fury:

“Yuna! Have you had enough?!”

He stormed forward in a few quick strides, pointing at Edwin as he snapped, “So this is how you’re trying to get back at me? You even hired an actor? Not bad. how much did you pay him?

“Name your price. I’ll give you ten times that. Have him disappear right now.”

Edwin stepped in front of me, shielding me, his gaze darkening as the air around him seemed to drop several degrees.

I caught his sleeve and gently pulled him back, leaning out from behind him to look at Mason’s twisted expression, completely at ease.

“Mason, didn’t you want to meet my husband?”

I slipped my arm through Edwin’s, my smile bright and unhurried.

“Let me properly introduce him, this is my husband.”

Mason’s face drained of color. “How… how is it you?!”
