LYDIA

By 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

    LydiaShe leaned forward and clasped her hands together, one side of her lips raised to the side as she spoke, “Believe what you want.” She said enunciating each word. I balled my fist under the table, still keeping a smile on my lips, trying as hard as I could not to expose my anger. I leaned into the chair, squared my shoulders, and crossed my legs, giving an air of authority. “Mary, whoever told you I am alive may also have said a few things, like…” I paused, raising my manicured finger to my eye level, and I studied them nonchalantly. “... I am no longer a pushover.’ I looked towards her, hoping she got the gist. Disgust twisted my stomach as I watched her face twist in envy. “Not to kiss my own ass, I am now powerful, the type you run flimsy errands for,” I said, so she understands that she is below me. “I will not be repeating myself,” I said, through gritted teeth, “who asked you to start a fire in the prison. Think before you speak this time.” I advised. No matter how ang

  • My ex-husband’s nightmare   Chapter 129

    Lydia “Is this the place?” I asked Mia, we are standing in front of a two-storey building painted in dull yellow.Mia looked at the iPad, probably a picture on it and back at the building, “Yes, this is the place.” She assured me. I inhaled sharply, not ready to step inside. This place held answers to all the questions I had. Two days ago, Mason said some words that were hard to believe. First, there was evidence pointing to him as the mastermind behind the fire incident at the prison. Not even once did I think it would be Victoria. At first, I brushed his claims aside as an unproven fact, but after my discussion with Mom yesterday, I decided it may not be a bad idea to find out the truth myself, and that was what Mia and I were doing right now. Seeking out Mary had not been as easy as I thought. It was one of the reasons I didn't want to walk down this path of finding the truth. Nothing changes if it was Mason or his Mother who caused it. Nothing will ever change the fact that t

    MasonMy heart grew heavier as I watched Lydia walk away. A part of me wanted to go hold her and make sure I got to speak to her. Make her understand, it wasn't me. I had been deceived, too. It took all I had to restrain myself.I stood rooted to the floor a long time after she left, before leaving. Zoe sent me a text as I drove, which I read when I stopped in front of a red light, she wanted me to come to get her. She can't live with Mom anymore. I drove into the mansion, a place I once called home. Zoe was already waiting for me at the entrance with her suitcase. When she saw me, she pulled her suitcase forward. I pulled over in front of the house, and Zoe was a few feet away. Opening the door, I stepped out to go assist her with the box. She raised a brow in surprise when she saw me. “Get in,” I said, closing the trunk. Heavy footsteps resounded behind us, and a sharp voice spoke, “No, you aren't leaving.” Mom stepped out of the house, rushing towards us. Quickly, I stood in fr

    Lydia“What are you doing? Why are you kneeling?” I was uncomfortable with the image. I tried to pull my hand away from his. He was still in the white bottom-down shirt he wore yesterday. “How do I ever make up for this?” His words sound forced, nothing like the Mason I know. “I don't have time for this. Liam is injured, and I have to be with him.” I explained. Given that he was here, I know whatever made him come had to be serious. However, right now, every other thing can wait. My son sprained his arm, and I have to be with him. “Liam is hurt?” This seemed to have gotten his attention. I nodded, “I need you to get out of my way so I can drive in.” I said, walking back to my car. I drove in. Mason came in with me. His eyes looked distant, as if he had lost something. We were about to step into the sitting room when I stopped him. “I want to see him too.” A look of worry clouded his eyes.“You can't go in looking like this,” I said calmly. I don't know what is wrong, but I don't w

    LydiaLiam and Melanie were asleep when I got home. But mom wasn't. She sat on the couch in the living room, watching one of her favourite shows. The room is dimly lit. When I stepped into the living room, she turned to face me. “You're finally back.” She said, and I walked further into the room.I placed a kiss on her cheeks, and she did the same to me. She adjusted so I was seated next to her. I dropped onto the chair, all worries and discomfort gone at the sight of my mother. The woman who would always have my back. “You were waiting for me?” “Yes.” She said, then continued, “It's been so long since we had some time to ourselves. I was hoping you could have a drink with me.” Her eyes assessed me. “But now, I think that's kinda a selfish thought, you must already be exhausted from the time you spent at the party.” I moved closer to her and wrapped my hand around her, while placing my head on her shoulders. “I am up for a drink.” No matter how tired I was, I would always make tim

    MasonThere are some emotions I never tried to explore, not until Lydia came into my life. The first was love; it was strange, and other emotions followed.I never thought I'd be able to feel so many emotions at the same time until now.After Zoe finished speaking, I could barely stand. When I tried to, my legs wobbled like jelly, and I ended up back on the couch. I can't accept this. There must be a mistake somewhere. I tried to make so many excuses for Mom. It finally made sense why Zoe left, why she has been giving Mom the cold shoulder since she returned. Why did she return only after Lydia did? “You are in no position to drive,” Marcus said. I looked to the side, and I didn't notice he was there at first. We were in the underground parking lot at his house. When did I even get here?Zoe is standing close to him, her eyes red from all the tears she has been shedding. Marcus took the key from my hand, “I'll drive you.” He offered. I was too tired to argue with him. “I don't kno
