Mason luckily got back before Beauty since she arrived a few minutes after. He helped her massage her feet and ordered pizza and yoghurt for them. While he massaged her feet, she stared at him with questioning eyes. “ It was you.” She muttered. “ What did you say? " He raised his eyes. “ Nothing. I was just admiring how perfect you are. I'm so lucky to have you. " Beauty winked. “ Aww, I'm blushing. " He said dramatically and she giggled. “ Thank you for today. " She said suddenly, and he stared at her. “ Why are you thanking me? It's my duty to let my wife have fun with her friends, even if it involves a male. " He said, and she chuckled.“ Not that. The anonymous reservation. I know it was you.” She said, and he feigned the sound of a gunshot. “ I got caught.” He said playfully. “ Thank you.” She smiled. “ You don't have to thank me. I would do anything for my wife.” He said, and she shook her head. “ I love you.” She whispered.“ I love you more.” He said and pecked her l
Claire tried to pull her hair but Elsa caught her hand before she could get a hold of her hair. " Look Claire, I don't have your time. I have much more important things to do with my time. So stop bothering me if you know what's good for you. " Elsa glared at her. " Let go off my hand, you stinking whore. " " Sure. " Elsa said and released her hand forcefully making her stagger backwards. " Babe." Shawn called behind her and she turned sharply. " Shawn." Elsa called happily and jumped on him. Claire glared at them one more time before leaving the library. " Why are you here? I thought you're supposed to be in hiding. " Elsa said checking his body for any injuries. " I was. It's safe for me to come out now. My mum's men are gone. " He said with a faint smile. " Are you sure? " " Yes. I couldn't spend one more day away from you." " I missed you too. Let's go somewhere more private. " She said and he nodded. They walked hand in hand out of the library and they met Zion standi
" Are you even my mother?" Shawn coughed. " She's not." Zion said slowly. He had been silent the whole time since he didn't see any reason to say a word. Brianna wasn't going to hurt him anyway. She was a little bit scared of his dad. " What? Stop spewing nonsense. You're lucky I haven't killed you yet." She groaned and pulled his hair. " You're not his mother. What's so infuriating about it? You've gotten everything you ever wanted. You have his father's money, life, cartel and son. " " I had his son. Everything was going as planned until that stupid girl showed up. " " You're... not my mother......." Shawn stuttered. " Blabla... You found out. How shocking?" She rolled her eyes in anger. " I killed your mother, dummy." " You bitch!" " That's what I am. Your mother had everything I ever wanted so it was only fitting to get rid of her."" I've known you my whole life..... "" Surprised right? I killed her the moment you were born and became your mother automatically. " " How?
Without wasting another second, Beauty went downstairs to see the mysterious man. He had his back turned on her so she couldn't tell who he was. " You were looking for me?" She said drawing his attention and he turned immediately. " Gregor?" " Hey." He said with a short smile. ...Gregor persuaded Beauty to eat with him at the restaurant close by and she hesitantly followed him after notifying Mason of her whereabouts. " What did you want us to talk about?" Beauty asked as she sipped her juice slowly. " Look, I know you hate me...."" I don't hate you. Hating you means I care about you." She scoffed. " I know. I want to talk about Dad's company." He said and she stared at him in shock. That was the first time she's heard that from him. " Wow, no longer mummy's little handbag." " Look, you can mock me all you want, I don't mind. I want to make it up to you." He said and she nodded affirmatively. " I don't deserve Dad's money neither does my mum deserve your mum's company." "
" Oh that fucking bitch!" Diana cursed immediately she walked into the house. " Stop bothering my peace." George scoffed. " I might just have to kill you soon." She muttered. " I'd like to see you try." He shrugged as he walked to his room." Arrgh!" She screamed pulling her hair. ....After their little time together, Mason took Beauty to an underground fighting rig where a surprise was waiting for you. She kept bugging him to tell her what it was but he refused. " We're here." He finally said when they got to the place. " Beauty Logan?" A voice called behind them and she turned. " Uncle?" She gasped. ...Beauty kept staring at the man's face waiting for him to talk but he never said a word. Maybe guilt was eating him up faster than usual. He should never have left them. He should have stayed behind and fought for them. " Why did you disappear?" Beauty finally asked. " I had to save myself. I knew Eunice would never harm the both of you but she would kill me if I had stayed
Celine was her mother's daughter from another man. Celine's father impregnated her when she was just sixteen so she had to drop out of school in order to have the baby. After she had Celine, her father abandoned her but only wanted Celine. So she made a deal to be with Celine and let him live his life. Six years later, she met Beauty's father and they got married. She never forgot Celine instead she made sure her other children had a good relationship with her. Celine used to come visit them every summer until their parents died. That was when her father stopped her from seeing them. ..." You still haven't told me why you're here." Celine said handing her a cup of juice. Liam was still sleeping so they left him in the room. " I'll talk about it later. Let's talk about you." Beauty faked a smile." Don't try to change the topic. Beauty, you left your rich husband and came here. Something important must be up."" He's not my husband. " " You had a court wedding. He's legally your hu
Beauty decided to step out since she was bored alone at home. Celine was not yet back from her date and there was nothing to occupy her. She walked into the closest bar which was filled to the brim. Immediately she walked in, a redhead pointed at her and screamed almost making Beauty pass out. " It's Beauty Logan." She said and Beauty's eyes widened. She had no idea that sh had fans in California. All eyes turned on her eye and the manager of the br quickly rushed to her. " Good evening Ms. It's a pleasure having you here."" Relax. There's no need for the pleasantries. I'm just here to pass time. " Beauty said and took her seat at a corner. " Let us know if you need anything. " " Sure. " She smiled. " Ms Beauty, I'm a huge fan. " The girl who shouted earlier said and she chuckled." Thank you."" I've always wanted to see you in person but I couldn't make it during your first tour." The girl smiled widely. " I'm speechless. I never knew I had a fan. " Beauty said and the gir
" Ouch!" Beauty shrieked as she opened her eyes slowly. " Finally, she's awake." A female voice cackled. " Celine....." Beauty said weakly as she looked around." Your sister and her fiance are both in the hospital right now receiving treatment." The voice said again. " What do you want?" Beauty groaned as she tried to release herself from the ropes. " Simple. I want you dead." " Me? I haven't done anything. I haven't said anything."" Oh darling, you've done a lot."" Please don't kill me. " Beauty lookes up and she gasped when she saw her captor. Diana Salvatore! "You!"" Yes, me." Diana smirked. " You really think killing is going to make him come back to you?"" It's worth the try." " Even if you succeed in killing me, Mason would never forgive you."" I can live with that. As far as I get to feel his dick again." " You're insane."" Oh sweety believe me. I know. " Diana picked up a shovel from the floor and she used to edge to hit Beauty's stomach. Beauty was fast enough t
Beauty had always been known for her quiet confidence and luminous smile—a presence that could light up even the darkest winter day. Mason, with his strong, steady hands and a twinkle of mischief in his eyes, adored her. Their marriage, built on trust, laughter, and a shared passion for life, was an ever-unfolding adventure. On this particular vacation, the air around them buzzed with anticipation. The resort was charmingly secluded, offering luxurious rooms, soft ambient music that floated through open windows, and hidden corners meant for whispered secrets and stolen kisses. That evening, as the sun dipped low over the ocean, turning the sky into a canvas of molten gold and soft lavender, Beauty and Mason retreated to their private suite. Their plan had been to savor a quiet moment away from the bustle before joining a lively birthday dinner at the resort’s elegant restaurant. But as soon as the door closed behind them, the promise of the evening unfurled into something far more in
Emma stopped Beauty and snuggled closer. It was obvious that she wanted to ask a question. " Ask your question baby." " Why did Daddy offer that deal to you? He barely knew you. What if you were a bad person?" " I guess it was fate and that was how we were destined to meet. Besides Dad already met me earlier at the supermarket but I didn't remember at the time." " Continue." ... “ I missed you Mason. Say something." She said again. “ Oh Beauty! I missed you more. " He said and pecked her forehead. “ Kiss me. " She whispered. “ What did you say?" He asked to be sure of what he heard. “ Kiss me!" She said loudly this time. Mason didn't hesitate any further before slamming his lips on hers. It was a slow kiss at first then it became rougher, more passionate. Mason came back in time for lunch and the arrival of the other members of the family. Beauty was at the garden waiting for him. She had been there since she came out of the room. Immediately he saw her, he ru
Rose had trouble trying to get the twins to sleep. They kept on fussing about and crying all over the room. Emma wasn't an exception either. She kept throwing tantrums and spilling the whole place with paint. Rose had no choice than to call Beauty over for a little assistance. Beauty was just coming out of the shower when she received the text so she quickly threw on her bathrobe before heading to the kid's room. " You haven't read their bedtime story." Mason reminded her and she sighed. " I completely forgot. It's been three days. No wonder the tantrums." She laughed running out. The bedtime story was the only thing that kept them calm at night. If she misses a night, they'd throw tantrums and eventually become enemies with her the next day. She had completely forgotten about the stories since they came on the trip. Turns out today was her reckoning day. " Why are you guys stressing about your grandma?" She spoke softly walking towards them as they sat on the large bed. " We
SIX YEARS LATER " Good morning, Mum." A cheery tiny voice screamed all over the room. Beauty woke up to the sound of her five-year-old daughter, Emma, singing "Happy Birthday" in a loud, off-key voice. Beauty smiled, feeling a sense of excitement and joy. It was her birthday, and she knew that Mason and the kids had planned a special surprise for her. As she got out of bed, Beauty saw that the room was filled with balloons and streamers. Emma, and the three-year-old twin boys, Jackson and Jordan, were all dressed in matching "Happy Birthday" t-shirts, and they were all holding hands, waiting for Beauty to open her eyes. Mason walked into the room, carrying a large, covered tray. "Happy birthday, beautiful," he said, setting the tray down in front of Beauty. Beauty's eyes widened as she saw the tray. It was filled with all of her favorite foods: pancakes, waffles, eggs, and bacon. The kids all cheered and clapped, and Beauty felt a sense of gratitude and love. "Thank you, guys,
The next morning, John called Shawn bright and early and asked to meet at a warehouse. He was getting impatient and that was what Elsa wanted. She wanted to see the look on his face when he discovered that he was being played. Shawn arrived at the hours two late. John was already getting hasty and he jumped at him the minute he arrived. " What is it? What plan were you talking about?" He asked in a hurry. " Chill man. You don't have any other place to be, so relax." Shawn said getting irritated. He wondered what would make a grown ass man behave this way. Was he being threatened by his family or was it just utmost foolishness?Elsa was waiting in the car and she was on a video call with Beauty, filling her in. " I told him you were going to do this." Beauty chuckled. " Well, yes. He tried to steal from us. What if he had succeeded? We both know how Celine loves. She gives her all." " I guess that's in the family." Beauty grinned widely. " Oh please. I just want to see him suffe
" I want money!" John slammed the table frustratingly. " You came back coz you're broke." Celine laughed maniacally. " You know I've always known you're bold and foolish but this..... this is too much." " Celine, you know I wouldn't have done this if I had another option. I lost my job and nobody wants to hire someone who doesn't have ten years experience." He blurted shamelessly and she couldn't point what attracted her to him in the first place. Was it his charms coz he definitely had none. Or was it just blinded lust? " So you think trying to make up with me would give you a job?"" Your family is rich. You guys own a company." " Oh I see. You wanted to use me to get a job in the company. Then what? Convince me to give a part of my shares?" She said and he shifted uncomfortably." I....."" You! I don't even know what to say to you. I mean I suspected it. You're not comfortable with me being ahead of you so you would rather cajole me into giving up my money for you so you coul
" What are you two talking about?" Elsa asked. Her hair was still wet, indicating that she had just got out of the shower. " Work. I'm thinking about taking a new role." Celine lied. " That's great. You've been away for a long time. This should be something good." Elsa smiled. " Yes, I think." She said nervously. " I checked on Liam and he should be out for another couple hours. I'll whip up something for us to eat before you go home." Elsa said and she shook her head. " That won't be necessary. I have stuff to do at home. I'll just order in. Goodnight." She pecked her cheeks before leaving. " I wonder where she's always running off to. Do you think she has a new guy?" Elsa pouted. " Barely. I'm sure she's just busy." Shawn said. " I'm starving." He reminded her and she quickly headed to the kitchen. .... Celine rushed home immediately she received a text from her landlord concerning a disturbance coming from her apartment. She wondered what was happening. She
Ryan had called ahead about his arrival and he asked Mason to arrange everything like a mini family lunch. He wanted to introduce Florence to the closest people first. " Ryan." Beauty said happily and hugged him tightly. " Oh I missed you." She said. " Hey, I'm right here." Mason scoffed jealously. " I know." She winked. " Welcome back, Ryan." Mia smiled. " Thank you, Mia. What's up, my man?" Ryan hugged George like they were old friends. They grew closer after the wedding. One would say they were like brothers. " Where's Alessio?" Ryan asked. " He couldn't make it. Left for Italy yesterday." Mason said. " That bastard. I was anticipating the look on his face." Beauty coughed bringing them out of the almost lengthy conversation. " Would you introduce the beautiful lady?" She asked. " Oh sorry, my bad. Baby." Ryan said smiling sheepishly as he held Florence's hand leading her to the crew. " Hey guys, meet my girlfriend, Florence." Ryan said and Beauty s
As the days turned into weeks, Florence started to notice that Ryan was being secretive about his past. He would change the subject whenever she asked him about his childhood, and he seemed reluctant to talk about his friends and past relationships. At first, Florence tried to brush off her concerns. She told herself that Ryan was just a private person, and that he would open up to her in time. But as the days turned into weeks, Florence's doubts began to grow. Whenever she brought up the topic of his past relationships, he'd always brush it off saying it wasn't important. One night, as they were walking along the Seine, Florence confronted Ryan about her concerns. "Ryan, can I ask you something?" she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Of course," Ryan replied, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What is it?" "I feel like you're not telling me something," Florence said, her heart pounding in her chest. "You're always changing the subject when I ask you about your past. What are
