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
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
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.

Yet, Nina's probing only intensified, leaving him feeling cornered and defensive. "I had to meet a friend," Mason lied, hoping to evade further interrogation. Nina's skepticism was palpable as she pressed for details, refusing to let him off the hook so easily. "Which friend? And was this friend truly more important than your sick wife?" Mason's irritation boiled over as he attempted to deflect blame onto Isabel. "You're blowing this out of proportion, Mom. Why can't you just leave me alone? It's not like my presence would magically cure Isabel. I'm not a doctor." Nina recoiled at the sharpness in Mason's tone, her disappointment evident as she confronted him head-on. "You still can't accept Isabel as your wife, can you? You've been putting on an act, deceiving us all." Mason stood frozen, his facade crumbling und
Third Person's POV:Nina and John remained silent as they didn't knew where to begin. They were just so ashamed for their son in front of Isabel.

You guys can tell me", As Isabel wasn't willing to make up any assumption in her mind, she questioned them again."My dear, we're sorry. We're really sorry for bringing you into this complicated marriage with our son", John spoke first breaking the silence."I really don't know how to apologize, Isabel. But please forgive us for this mess. I don't know....", Nina couldn't complete as she broke into tears.Isabel failed to utter any word because she was beyond surprised by the apology.

Before beginning the assignment, Isabel noticed Mason's iPad on the table which he didn't use much except to play online games.
