The Ugly Bride 22. It's Your Life, Isabel
Third Person's POV: "What! No, mom... It was my decision to leave. Mason had nothing to do with it; in fact, he wanted to stay a few more days. Believe me," Isabel spoke firmly, her nerves betraying her understanding that convincing Nina wasn't going to be easy. Nina keenly observed Isabel's visible unease while uttering those words. Familiar with Mason's capabilities, she couldn't help but believe he was the driving force behind Isabel's abrupt departure. Isabel hoped Nina wouldn't probe further, realizing it would be challenging to concoct more lies. Despite Nina's lingering doubt, she chose to act as if she believed Isabel, avoiding making the situation more difficult for her daughter-in-law. Nina left Isabel to her own devices, and after her shower, Isabel joined everyone for lunch. Mason was conspicuously absent, as he typically didn't come home for lunch. Upon the first bites, Nina and John immediately noticed a distinct difference in the cooking style, not typical of Martha
The Ugly Bride 23. Mason Felt Slightly Bad
Third Person's POV:Mason couldn't contain his panic, shooting furious glares in Isabel's direction. She caught on quickly, understanding that Mason had no intention of dropping her off at college. "Mom, it's fine. I can go to college by myself. In fact, I'm used to going alone," Isabel insisted, hoping to alleviate the tension, but Nina instantly disagreed. "Of course not, Isabel. Forget what used to happen before. Now you're Mason's wife, and he has the responsibility to drop you there," Nina stated firmly, showing no inclination to change her mind. "Am I right, Mason?" Nina turned to her son for confirmation. Mason was internally cursing Isabel for this predicament. His mom's directive made him wish he could make Isabel disappear on the spot. The idea of going out publicly with Isabel embarrassed him, and the thought of introducing her as his wife was something he wanted to avoid at all costs. Despite his intense disinterest, Mason had no choice but to agree with his mom's word
The Ugly Bride 24. Pair Made In Heaven
Third Person's POV: Recalling her class schedule, Isabel emerged from the washroom and splashed water on her eyes to reduce the puffiness caused by crying. With a heavy heart, she made her way to the classroom, the harsh insults from Mason and Anna echoing in her mind. Upon entering the classroom, she received no reaction, as was customary. Ignored by her classmates, no one bothered to inquire about her recent absence. With a heavy sigh, Isabel headed straight to the back seat of the classroom, where she usually sat alone or occasionally with her one and only friend, Olivia. Unfortunately, Olivia had yet to arrive, and Isabel impatiently awaited her, missing her best friend dearly. The other students in the classroom paid no attention to Isabel, a situation that had become the norm for her. Since the beginning of college, making new friends or interacting with classmates had been impossible for Isabel. She understood that her imperfections led to mistreatment from her peers. Ini
The Ugly Bride 25. Mason Was Cheating
Third Person's POV: "Isabel? Are you alright?" Olivia couldn't help but ask when she noticed Isabel's confused expression. Isabel nodded and attempted to appear genuinely engaged. "But you seemed nervous about my invitation. Do you think your husband won't accept it?" Olivia sounded sad, eliciting sympathy from Isabel. Isabel truly didn't want to decline the invitation, but she felt helpless. Mason would never agree to go anywhere with her. Moreover, she didn't want to bring Mason to Olivia's house, fearing that Olivia might sense something amiss in their relationship. "It's not like that. I think he would love to go for dinner, but I don't want to," Isabel stated, instantly disappointing Olivia. "What?" Olivia exclaimed, surprised by Isabel's rejection. "Please don't be sad. Actually, I don't want Mason to feel pressured. He has been giving me time since our wedding day, barely attending his office. I don't want to interrupt him in the company's work anymore," Isabel explained,
The Ugly Bride 26. I'm Cheating On You
Third Person's POV: "Did I? Hmm, didn't notice. Does it look like I've been crying?" Isabel feigned surprise at Martha's question, though inwardly she knew her reddened eyes likely gave her away. "Oh... I'm sorry for prying. I just thought..." Martha's words trailed off as Isabel cut in. "Don't dwell on it, Martha. I'm perfectly alright," Isabel replied softly, fighting back the urge to let her emotions surface in front of Martha. Martha didn't press further, choosing instead to leave Isabel to her thoughts. At dinner, everyone gathered around the table except for Mason. Despite Isabel's lack of appetite, she forced herself to join, not wanting Nina to suspect anything was amiss. Nina noticed Mason's absence and Isabel's uncharacteristic silence, her concern growing. "Is everything alright, Isabel?" Nina asked, her mind jumping to the possibility of Mason causing trouble. "Yes, Mom..." Isabel replied, pasting on a fake smile. Unsatisfied with the response, Nina encouraged her
The Ugly Bride 27. She Was Freezing To Death
Third Person's POV: Up until this moment, Isabel had only entertained suspicions of Mason's potential affair. But with Mason's admission of infidelity and his declaration of love for Addison, Isabel felt as though her soul had been wrenched from her body. Tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably, betraying the depth of her anguish. As Isabel's tears fell, Mason couldn't help but chuckle sarcastically, relishing in the pain he had inflicted upon her. Her hurt was evident, and he found a sick satisfaction in witnessing it. "Aw, does it hurt to hear that I'm cheating on you and that I love Addison?" Mason's mocking tone cut through the air, his words intended to wound Isabel further. Isabel bit her lip in a futile attempt to rein in her emotions, but the image of her husband with another woman tore at her already fragile heart. She wanted to scream at Mason, to make him understand the agony of his betrayal, but she felt powerless to do so, convinced she had no right to voice her
The Ugly Bride 28. Decided To Threat Isabel
Third Person's POV: Isabel's strength had been drained, leaving her unable to muster a response to Mason's taunts. She lay there, feeling sick to her core and utterly devastated by the events that had unfolded. Mason, frustrated by Isabel's silence, grew suspicious of her intentions. He couldn't shake the fear of her exposing him to his parents, a prospect he dreaded. Determined to silence her once and for all, he approached her with a menacing air, causing Isabel to recoil in fear, anticipating further harm. But to her surprise, instead of lashing out, Mason tenderly ran his fingers through her hair, a stark contrast to his previous aggression. However, his affectionate gesture was swiftly overshadowed by a chilling threat whispered in her ear. "Don't you dare utter a word about me to my parents," he hissed, his voice dripping with malice. "Or I'll ensure your family suffers in return." Isabel's blood ran cold at the threat, her mind reeling at the thought of Mason involving her
The Ugly Bride 29. Mason Doing Something Wrong
Third Person's POV"You told him and he still refused?" Nina's disbelief echoed through the room, her mind struggling to comprehend Mason's callous reaction to Isabel's illness. But as she mulled over the situation, Nina couldn't shake the unsettling feeling that Mason might have deliberately concealed Isabel's condition during breakfast. The thought gnawed at her, fueling her growing anger towards her son. With each passing moment, Nina's concern for Isabel intensified, compounded by the realization that Mason's actions may have put Isabel's life at risk. Despite her reluctance to entertain such thoughts, Nina couldn't shake the nagging suspicion that Mason had callously abandoned Isabel to her fate. Desperate for answers, Nina attempted to call Mason once more, only to be met with frustration as his phone remained switched off. When John returned home, Nina wasted no time in recounting the shocking turn of events to him. John's brows furrowed in concern as he listened to Nina's a
