Kateâs knees gave way as she slid down the wall outside Masonâs bedroom, her phone was so tightly in her hand that her fingers hurt. Inside the room, Elenaâs cried from within the safe, small, terrified, growing weaker by the second. âMummyâs right here,â Kate sobbed, pressing her forehead against the cold metal. âIâm here, baby. Please hold on.â She tried the keypad again. Numbers blurred through her tears. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Anything that could make sense. The safe rejected every attempt with a cruel, mechanical beep. Her heart hammered, how did Elena manage to get the password. She called Mason again. it went straight to voicemail. A scream rose from her throat, broken. This wasnât how her life was supposed to be. This wasnât the future she imagined when she chose love, patience and hope over her dignity.

Chapter 4 â This is an emergency. Kate broke down in the silent room, she just couldn't hold it in anymore. Her hands pressed against her mouth as tears rushed freely down her cheeks, her shoulders shaking with everything she had held in for years. This wasnât the marriage she had hoped for. All she had ever wanted was simpleâto be seen, to be loved for who she was, not tolerated, not blamed, not despised. She didnât want Masonâs money. She never did. If he had nothingâno name, no wealth, no mansionâshe would still have loved him just the same. That truth hurt the most. Loving someone who would never love her back the way she loved him.

Chapter 3 â You wanted this marriage, now you're stuck in it Kate stood at the counter, carefully plating the food. Her movements were slow, deliberateâlike if she rushed, everything inside her would spill over. The scent of the meal filled the kitchen, but i memories pressed against her chest, heavy and painful. Ellie came back a few days ago. She still remembered that night clearly. Ellie standing at the door, eyes red, voice trembling. Apologizing. Crying. Saying she had made the biggest mistake of her life. Mason had stood there, frozen, while Kate watched from the staircase, her heart pounding as if it already knew what was coming. Since that day, Mason had changed. The warmth he had begun to show Kateâthose small, fragile signs of humanityâvanished. Every day, without fail, he reminded her of her place. Because of you, I lost my real love. Because of your scheming, Ellie left. Because of you, my life is ruined. Each word broke her. And yet⊠she still hope
Chapter 2 â Donât Talk to My Mum Like That Kate forced her hands to keep moving. The vegetables were almost done. The sauce needed stirring. Dinner had to be perfect. It always did. Because perfection was the only thing that kept her invisibleâand invisibility was safer than being seen and rejected. She turned off the stove and stepped back. The food could wait. Kate wiped her hands slowly on a towel, pressing her palms together afterward to stop their trembling. She took a steady breath and reached for the strings of her apron. Then she heard it again Laughter. Masonâs laughter towards his childhood love, towards the woman that broke him completely and walked out of his life when they were supposed to get married. Yet he laughed so freely with her, like she didn't completely break him, like she never left and like he wasn't married.
