Chapter 6

Author: Lucky Lulu
The moment Jasper disappeared into the rain with Wendy in his arms, the villa finally fell silent.

Mason closed the door behind him, thoroughly shutting out all of that nauseating noise and chaos. He spun around and pulled me tightly into his arms, resting his chin on the top of my head. His voice was low and raspy as he said, "It's over, Ella."

Leaning against his chest, I listened to his steady heartbeat and gave a soft hum of agreement. He was right. It was finally over.

    When we went to bed, Mason insisted on wrapping his entire body around me. He even draped his leg over mine like an octopus. When I complained that it was too hot, he'd argue, "No, it's not. You feel cool to the touch." "Liar," I countered. "Your body temperature is way higher than mine." He just buried his face in the crook of my neck, mumbling, "In that case, just think of me as your personal heat pack." Amused, I reached out to ruffle his hair. All of a sudden, he lifted his head to look at me. His gaze was incredibly sincere as he called out, "Stella.""Yeah?""Thank you."I was caught off guard. "Why are you thanking me?""Thank you for marrying me," he said. "Thank you for letting me... take care of you." Looking him in the eye, my heart melted into mush. "I should thank you as well, Mason.""For what?""Thank you for letting me know… what it actually feels like to be deeply, truly loved by someone." Tears welled up in his eyes before he lowered his head and p

    Jasper took a deep breath. His voice trembled as he said, "Wendy was never pregnant. I've sent her away. Stella…" As he held my gaze, a wave of despair that I had never seen before swirled in his eyes. "Can you... please give me one more chance?"I stared at him before bursting into laughter. "Do you remember what you said, Jasper?" I asked softly.He froze for a moment."You said, 'I'll give Stella the title and Wendy my love. It's only fair.'"Jasper's face drained of all color in an instant. "Now, I'm throwing those words right back in your face. I don't want the title, nor do I want your love. There's nothing left between us, Jasper," I spelled it out for him. Then, I spun on my heel and walked toward Mason's car.A low growl escaped Jasper behind me, but I didn't look back.…Half a year later, Mason and I held our wedding on a tropical island. There were no typhoons, no car accidents, and no split personalities. There was only the sun, the crashing waves, and the overf

It was finally over.…Sam's flight touched down the following afternoon, and he burst into Mason's villa like a force of nature. As soon as he crossed the threshold and spotted me curled up on the couch with a cup of hot milk, his eyes misted over. He crossed the room in a few strides and pulled me into a crushing embrace. "Ella…" His voice trembled as his arms tightened around me, as if he were terrified I would vanish into thin air if he loosened his grip even slightly. "You've been through so much." I patted his back and

    A deafening crash rang out from downstairs, sending a slight tremor through the villa's floors. Mason's movements came to an abrupt halt. The dark undercurrents swirling in his eyes were abruptly suppressed by the unexpected disruption. He took a deep breath and buried his face in the crook of my neck, his voice incredibly low and raspy. "...Give me a break." Sinking back against the pillows, I felt a bead of sweat trickle from my temple down my cheek. My phone was still vibrating frantically on the nightstand, its screen light flickering on and off in the dimly lit room. "He's here," I murmured. My tone was so calm that even I was surprised. Mason raised his head and gently wiped the sweat from my cheek with his thumb. His gaze was dead serious as he asked, "Are you sure you want to confront him right now?""Yeah." I nodded. "The show has gone on for long enough. It's time for the final curtain."Mason fell silent for a few seconds. Then, a low chuckle escaped him. He lean

    "Stop pretending to be asleep. Your breathing changes when you're actually asleep. It doesn't matter if you're faking it or not... You have no choice but to marry me!" Jasper growled.The very next second, I jolted awake and realized that it was just a dream. I looked at Jasper, who was sleeping across from me, in the dark. I couldn't deny the fact that he was incredibly handsome. He had striking features, broad shoulders, a tapered waist, and seductive bedroom eyes that had always known exactly how to make my heart race when he looked at me.However, those beautiful eyes were no longer reserved for me. Lately, when he looked at me, the light in his eyes had dimmed, replaced by indifference and impatience. He was the complete opposite of Mason, whose burning passion was practically brimming from the depths of his eyes. Jasper hadn't lingered to comfort me on the day of our first failed wedding. I was in a bad mood, so I went to the club. There, I ran into Mason, who was dead drun

    I felt a cold gaze settle on my back. Meeting Jasper's smoldering eyes, I feigned innocence and casually said, "It's just a ring. What's the big deal?" How could I not know? The Prestons had built their fortune in the emerald and gemstone trade generations ago. It was a long-standing family tradition that the heir of the Preston family must carve a wedding ring from the family's own emerald and present it to his bride with his own hands. Jasper had slipped that emerald ring onto my finger during our first wedding ceremony on the island. Unfortunately, a typhoon had struck that day, stranding all our guests. My first wedding was called off before it had truly begun. Even the ring's size wasn't right. The band was too small, and I couldn't slide it on. God knows where I had found the strength back then, but I had endured the pain and forced it onto my finger. Now that I had finally taken it off, I could see a deep, red indentation left on my knuckle. In hindsight, perhaps that
