MASON

I couldn’t breathe. I just stood there in the restroom, staring at the empty space where she had just been. My heart was pounding so hard it drowned out the noise of the event outside.

She was lying. She had to be lying.

But the way she looked at me, the way she said those words, "she’s dead”, sent a chill down my spine. She sounded like Lydia; the height, the face, the eyes and the smile all belonged to Lydia. If she was just a look-alike, then there had to be at least one difference. There was none.

Only her cold gaze and tone. Lydia has only ever spoken to me with love and tenderness while she spoke to me with so much disdain.

I walked out of the restroom with unsteady steps. The voices around me blurred together. The flashing cameras, the murmurs, the music—it was all too much.

I felt the need to escape this crowd.

Julia was still talking to some people, laughing and tossing her hair, completely unaware of what had just happened.

I didn’t bother telling her I was leaving a

  • My ex-husband’s nightmare   Chapter 28

    MASONJulia’s voice was quite loud. Way too loud and her words were getting more and more bold by the minute. Accusing me of cheating on her? Really? She seemed to be boiling in anger as she pointed her finger at me.“You’re cheating on me, aren’t you?” she hissed. “With that woman, you spoke of on the call with your mom!”I didn’t answer this time. She is so not entitled to an explanation, and I am so not willing to give it anyway. My silence only made her angrier. She scoffed, shaking her head in disbelief. “You didn’t even deny it. Wow. After everything, Mason? I should have known.” She let out a bitter laugh, her face twisting in frustration.“You know what? We’re done.” She turned on her heel, her expensive heels clicking against the marble floor as she stormed off.I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling heavily. I didn’t go after her. I didn’t say a word as she stormed off either.I just stood there staring at her retreating figure feeling nothing but exhaustion. It was all a d

  • My ex-husband’s nightmare   Chapter 27

    LYDIABy the time my car pulled up in front of my condo, I was exhausted. The night had been... a whole lot. From the moment I stepped onto that stage to the second I slipped away from the event, my past haunted me. Mason’s reaction had been exactly what I expected—shock, confusion, anger. But it didn’t matter.This was only the beginning.I sighed and leaned my head against the seat for a moment before finally stepping out of the car. I walked into my condo and headed straight for bed knowing the twins would be asleep by now. I couldn't even reach for the handle, I heard their voices.“Mama!” I turned just in time to see two small figures running toward me, their feet pattering against the floor.My babies.Despite my exhaustion, a smile broke out on my face. Mom followed behind them, shaking her head as she watched them run towards me. “I've been trying to get them to sleep, but they won't listen.”“They never do,” I chuckled, crouching down just in time to catch them both in my arm

    LYDIAI walked up to the stage with my head held high, a proud smile stretching across my face. The hall gave a round of applause as all eyes fell on me. Just as I wanted. The power at that moment was truly intoxicating.I could feel Mason’s gaze on me; he must be so confused and having some existential crisis. I haven’t looked at him just yet. No, I wanted to savor this. Instead, I moved with confidence. The glow of the lights caught the necklace resting against my collarbone—the same necklace his mother, Victoria, had desperately wanted. I had attended the auction to kill time, but upon seeing Victoria and how desperate she was for the necklace, I just couldn't let her have it. I finally turned my head slightly, locking eyes with Mason first. His face was unreadable, as though he was just paralyzed in a state of shock. Once we locked eyes, he looked like it took all in him to restrain himself from coming after me. I stared at his shocked expression and smirked.Good. Next, my gaz

    Victoria(DAY BEFORE THE LAUNCH)Bright lights, paparazzi and classical music played in the background as the waiter refilled my glass with wine. This is how I'd loved to spend my Thursdays. At least, I used to; I barely sipped it. The atmosphere in the private lounge that was once alluring to me had now become... suffocating.I had come to this little gathering expecting what I always did—admiration, envy, subtle but obvious praise for my son, Mason.But tonight was different.The women who usually fawned over me barely spared me a glance. Instead, they were too busy gushing about their children's perfect marriages."My Emily is finally expecting," Sylvia announced, her voice dripping with pride. "It’s been a long wait, but she and her husband are beyond excited. The first grandchild of the family."A few women gasped in delight."That’s wonderful news," Margaret said, smiling. "Children are a blessing. My Diana just returned from her honeymoon in Greece, and they’re already talking

    Mason Today was finally the day of Kavas Corporation’s new launch. The moment I had been waiting for. For weeks, this company had been slowly creeping into my territory, taking deals that should have been mine. And the worst part? No one even knew who was behind it. After everything, Alissa Brooks would be attending. She was a ghost. No pictures. No interviews. No public appearances. Until now. There was no way she would miss her launch. And I was going to be there. “Are you sure this is a good idea?” Julia asked as we pulled up to the venue. I didn’t look at her. “I’m not here for fun, Julia.” She sighed, crossing her arms. “I know that. But showing up without an official invite? That’s a little desperate, don’t you think?” I clenched my jaw. Desperate? No. I was here to see Alissa Brooks, to negotiate a deal, to settle things before they got worse. This wasn’t about desperation. This was about business. The driver pulled up to the entrance, and I stepped out, ad
