I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 16
The window was lowered halfway and Mason’s arrogant face could be seen. He wore a black and white suit, as though he had attended a formal function. He looked very relaxed, which made Zoe look worse in comparison.They locked gazes silently on the rainy night. Zoe’s lips were trembling from the cold. She wrapped her hands around her violin tightly as if it were the last glimmer of hope in her otherwise bleak life. It was clear Mason was giving her an opportunity. All she had to do now was to yield and get in his car. Then, she would get a clean towel and a cup of hot water. She would not need to perform in a supermarket tomorrow morning. She could sleep on the grand, soft bed until she woke up. She could be his wife again.However, she did not want that!Zoe stood in the rain and looked at him wordlessly. The rain got heavier. It dripped on their eyelids and blurred their visions. After about a minute, Zoe shielded her head with a hand and started running in the rain.She ran and

Zoe ran all the way back to the place she rented. Mia was standing there with an umbrella, waiting for her. Zoe slowed down and asked, “What are you doing here, Mia?” They went back home together and Mia gave her a clean towel to dry her hair, “I’m worried about you. It’s raining so heavily. Why didn’t you hail a cab?”Zoe said lightly, “It’s hard to get one when it’s raining.” Mia urged her to take a bath. She gave Zoe a bowl of hot chicken soup afterward. She hesitated a little before asking, “Any updates about the divorce?”Zoe froze for a second before continuing to drink the soup and said lightly, “He wouldn’t agree to the divorce! I can’t seem to find a lawyer who’s willing to take my case too, but I’ve filed for separation. It’ll last two years. It doesn’t matter about what he thinks, I will divorce him.” Mia left it at that. She looked at Zoe’s wounds, treated them, and felt a lump in her throat. Zoe had been the best student in a music academy back in the day. Many

Zoe thought it was quite inappropriate. She was about to reject him when he took out a food container from the passenger seat. “This is some homemade pizza and your favorite Caesar salad. My mom made these and asked me to take them to you.”She was kind of surprised. “Your mom remembered!” Cecil flashed her a gentle smile and opened the car door for her, “Come on. Your place is on my way anyway.” It was hard for Zoe to reject him now. So, she got in the car and buckled up.“Thanks for your help.”Cecil had his hands on the steering wheel and looked at her cheerfully, “Go ahead and eat it if you’re hungry. They’re still hot.” She did not want to act as if they were very close. Also, she did not want to make his car dirty. So, she shook her head. “I’ll eat them when I’m back home.”He did not push her. Cecil started driving away and said after a while, “It’s perfectly fine to eat them at home so you can take your time with them!” With that, his white BMW drove off into the distan
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 19
They had been married for three years. Mason knew how to turn her on, make her feel aroused, and make her bend over irresistibly. Both of them were entwined with each other in the darkness.They received education in privileged schools since they were young. Zoe was a by-the-numbers lady of a wealthy and prestigious family. Mason was extremely picky about the location where he had sex with a lady.However, he did not give a damn about it now. He wanted to see her having a meltdown right there. He wanted her to cry in his embrace and call out to him in a feeble and hoarse voice. Zoe was on the brink of collapse, “You’re wrong! That’s not true!”Her voice was husky and trembling, but it only served to incite the man before her. Mason suppressed her every single time she struggled and continued to treat her rougher, He even whispered nastily in her ear, “Do you know who he is?”“Don’t you think he’s somewhat similar to me? What’s the matter? Are you trying to find someone to replace m
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 20
Zoe’s legs were shaking when she left Mason’s car. She tried her best to not let him notice it. She did not want to be embarrassed further.What was the big deal, really?It was just sex. Mason had done it with her in countless embarrassing positions in the past three years. It was merely one more embarrassing moment to add to the pile. Moreover, they did not even go through with it in the end!It was still pitch black on the staircase. She could almost smell the erotic odor of when they intertwined with each other. Zoe picked up the food container and her violin. She shuffled back home. She was about to open the door when someone called her, “Zoe!”The light at the staircase came on all of a sudden. She saw someone she knew and muttered, “Ella.” Zoe came back to her senses after a while, “How did you find your way here?”“I went to the hospital and got your address from Mia.” Ella lifted her chin. “I came here as soon as I got off the plane. Hurry up and make me some food. I’ve

Zoe said, “Yeah, I know about it. Mason hired her.” That, in turn, shocked Ella. “Is Lilith the mistress he was talking about? It’s frustratingly hard to kick them out of your life, Zoe! You would’ve followed Mr. Aiden and studied abroad if it hadn’t been for that little accident. You wouldn’t even need Mason in your life!” She took another drag at the cigarette to calm herself. Then, she said, “Mason is such a tough nut to crack. That little accident has cost you so much!” She expected Zoe to back down. Instead, she said lightly, “Mr. Aiden called me. He wanted to take me under his wing in the four years he’s in the country.”Ella was so excited that she put out her cigarette. “I’m going to make you regret it if you let this chance slip by you, Zoe.” Zoe smiled faintly, “I know you will.” Feeling much better, Zoe washed the dishes, bathed, and went to bed. Ella was already fast asleep. She laid down next to Ella and rested her head on her shoulder. She had missed her dear f
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 22
Ava knocked on the door of the director’s office and went in after she got the a-okay. Mason was on a phone call with his mother. Their conversation was about something that Ava had just found out and wanted to report to Mason. “Are you just going to leave her alone, Mason?”“Who’s Leslie?”“That Ella has such a bad reputation. We can’t allow Zoe to mingle with her! You should keep your wife in check, Mason.”…Mason said nonchalantly, “Zoe is divorcing me, Mom! How am I supposed to keep an eye on her?” Lisa cared for nothing more than her family’s reputation. She was mad that she had spent a long time talking to Mason without a positive outcome. With that, she hung up on him. He put down the phone and looked at Ava. “Is Zoe working for Leslie?” She was about to say something when she suddenly saw a velvet box next to him. She recognized it. It was the box that held Zoe’s wedding ring. If it was there, then he must have looked at it from time to time.Mason always had his
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 23
Gregory meant to take a dig at Zoe. He smiled and said, “Zoe’s here too, Mason!” Mason was fiddling with a lighter and did not respond. Gregory took that as a sign that Mason no longer cared about her. Thus, he turned to greet her.“Hey, Zoe!”Zoe took a look at him and decided that Gregory had ill intentions. However, Leslie was right there. She had to be considerate to her employer, so she went over to greet him. Gregory poured three glasses of wine for her and said politely, “Fancy bumping into you here, Zoe! Gabriela threw a fit and caused you some trouble when you got married to Mason back then. I’ll drink these glasses of wine as a gesture of apology!” Gregory was used to having drinks with business associates. He was a heavy drinker! The three glasses of wine were no different than plain water to him. He looked straight at Zoe when he was done drinking, “You’re not going to embarrass me by not drinking them. Are you, Zoe?”Leslie just sat there, propping up his chin w
