The Ugly Bride 12. Felt Like A Prisoner
Third Person's POV:Mason's sarcastic smile curled at the edges upon hearing Isabel's question. In his cynical perception, he believed she was attempting to play the fool—a misconception that failed to grasp the depth of Isabel's awareness about her own imperfections. She carried a quiet hope within, a hope that her life partner would not harbor disdain for her due to her external flaws. Little did she anticipate the rejection that now unfolded before her.In response to Isabel's inquiry, Mason uttered no words; instead, he directed her attention with a pointed finger. Her eyes followed the trajectory of his accusation, landing on the oversized photograph of him she had admired the night before. Then, with calculated cruelty, Mason began his tirade."Stand beside my image, and you'll comprehend everything. Do not attempt to manipulate my parents or act against me, or you will face the darkest version of me. Always remember your pathetic existence. You will never be a match for me, let
The Ugly Bride 13. Blame Her Family Too
Third Person's POV:"Not again. I'm too devastated by all these wedding dramas, and I can't take it anymore. Why is Mom doing this to me?" Mason vented his frustration to Anna, who found it useless to respond at this moment. Initially, Anna had disapproved of her brother being forced into marriage. However, now that the marriage had taken place, she knew Mason couldn't shirk his responsibilities toward his wife."You should have thought about this before getting married. Tell me, how many days will you mourn about this? Your marriage has already happened, and there's no going back, brother," Anna said, though she recognized the harshness of her words in the current moment.Undoubtedly, Anna's words struck a chord with Mason, as he deep down knew she was right. However, he wasn't ready to accept it. The thought of spending even a second with Isabel seemed impossible, let alone an entire day."Where is Mom right now?" Mason asked Anna."In the kitchen, I guess.""Perfect... I will drop y

He quickly began concocting excuses to present to Liam, attempting to salvage the situation."It's practically impossible for me to attend the dinner. I have late office hours these days, tremendous work pressure. It's unlikely that I can make it," Mason explained, feigning innocence to make his words appear genuine.However, he overlooked his dad's presence, who stood disappointed by Mason's dishonesty. Liam, though somewhat convinced by Mason's false excuse, regretted extending the invitation without consulting Mason. He contemplated apologizing and rescheduling, but Mason's dad intervened."I don't think it will be a problem, Mason. We have enough employees to manage our office works, and I believe your absence won't create any disturbance," Mason's dad declared in a cold tone. He then turned to Liam, accepting the invitation.Mason was left speechless, feeling insulted by his dad's words. H
The Ugly Bride 15. Owe You An Apology
Third Person's POV:In a different circumstance, Mason would have recoiled at the thought of pressing his lips against hers, fueled by his enduring disgust for Isabel.

A subtle smile crept onto Mason's face, relief washing over him at the sight of Isabel breathing once more. Swiftly withdrawing from her, he ensured she had ample space to regain composure.Isabel, still in a state of bewilderment, struggled to normalize her breathing. The recent memory of Mason's near-fatal aggression lingered, casting a shadow over the room. Although her physical recovery began, the emotional wounds ran deep. Stunned by the realization that her husband had come perilously close to ending her life,
The Ugly Bride 16. Stay At Isabel's house
Third Person's POV:As Mason stood frozen, his mother's words echoed in his ears, piercing his heart like shards of ice. His marriage to Isabel, a union orchestrated by his mother's wishes, had not erased the shame she felt towards him. "Don't add to our disappointment, Mason," Nina's voice dripped with frustration. "You're a grown man now, married. You know your responsibilities." Mason remained silent, his spirit crushed by the weight of her disapproval. He had no desire to defend himself, to prove his innocence against the accusation that hung in the air like a suffocating fog. Nina continued her tirade, her words washing over him like waves against a rocky shore. He listened impassively, his mind numb to the sting of her words. When his mother finally left, Mason retreated to his room, his footsteps echoing in the deafening silence. The sight of Isabel, sleeping peacefully on their bed, ignited a fresh wave of anger within him. How could she sleep so soundly while he felt like
The Ugly Bride 17. Nothing But A Living Hell
Third Person's POV: Mason wrestled with the urge to immediately oppose his mom's request, but a lack of courage held him back. The thought of staying at Isabel's house was utterly unappealing, yet the fear of confronting his mother paralyzed him. He anticipated another round of insults if he spoke up. Suppressing his discomfort, Mason's discomfort didn't go unnoticed by Isabel. "There's no need for that, Mom. We can return after dinner," she interjected, keenly aware that Mason was reluctant to spend the night at her place. Isabel understood that her home might not be Mason's ideal retreat, and she didn't want to burden him further. Grateful that he accepted the dinner invitation, she prioritized his comfort. "What are you saying, Isabel? Don't you want to spend a few days with your family?" Nina asked, surprised by Isabel's proposal. While Isabel yearned for family time, she recognized the potential discomfort it would cause Mason. She worried he might unleash his usual harsh rema
The Ugly Bride 18. Mom, I Wanna Leave
Third Person's POV: As Mason felt the walls closing in, a suffocating urge surged within him, compelling him to scream and demand his mom leave. However, a realization dawned on him; such an outburst would be deemed inappropriate. Opting for a subtler approach, he pulled out his phone to send his plea discreetly. "Mom, I wanna leave. It's not possible for me to stay here. Why did you bring me into this hell?" Mason typed and sent the message to Nina, who sat directly in front of him. Nina was taken aback when Mason's text notification popped up, and she couldn't help but shoot him a curious look. Tempted to question him immediately, she restrained herself and chose to read the text first. After absorbing the content, Nina felt grateful that Mason had chosen to convey his sentiments discreetly. She was aware of the potential insult Isabel's family might feel if these thoughts were vocalized. However, beneath her gratitude lingered a flicker of fury at Mason's perception of Isabel's
