Yanni drove her car into the parking lot of a supermarket.GM is a global chain of offline stores, holding a 16% market share in Asia. It's said that the owner behind the scenes is a local man. So, this 2.1 million-square-foot store is considered the flagship location.Yanni got out of the car. She intended to buy a small cake. On the second floor, she looked at the beautiful and delicate cakes displayed in the glass case when she heard a deep male voice."You're still the same as in high school, liking mousse cake." That voice was deep and pleasant. It also carried a hint of amusement.Yanni couldn’t help but look up. Then, she saw a rather dazzling man. The man wore a casual suit that hung naturally on his tall and upright frame. He effortlessly exuded an unmistakable air of mature elegance. It only took one glance for him to radiate the vibe of a complete professional.The man was very outstanding. Yanni wouldn’t have forgotten someone like him normally, but she simply didn’t
It was his legal wife—Yanni.A series of camera clicks echoed. Yanni stood there with the phone in hand, and her expression was cold as she stared at Gael and Emilia. Panic flashed across his face as he quickly pulled his hand away from Emilia’s grasp and walked toward Yanni. His gaze was intense as he looked at Yanni. “It’s not what you think.”Yanni sneered, “Oh? What is it, then? Is it that you’re so incapable of taking care of yourself that Ms. Emilia has to be hired to serve you?”Gael frowned, “There’s no need for such harshness, Yanni.”Emilia quickly stepped in to block him. “Don’t blame Dr. Yanni for misunderstanding, Gael. It’s my fault for carelessly holding your arm and causing this. If anyone’s to blame, blame me!”Emilia bit her lip and slapped herself hard across the face in an exaggerated manner. A red mark appeared on her cheek, and just looking at it was enough to make anyone uncomfortable. Then, Emilia turned her pitiful gaze to Yanni and pleaded, “Please do
After Gael asked, Yanni glanced at Keaton. She deliberately used a mocking tone: “He’s whoever you think he is. What is it, Gael? Do I need to get your approval to make friends?”Gael was infuriated. “Don’t go too far, Yanni! We’re still legally married, so don’t think you can have your cake and eat it too.”Yanni dismissed him with a wave. “You’re aware of your behavior, aren’t you? Gael, if you handled the divorce cleanly and then took care of Ms. Emilia and Ansley, I might think better of you. However, the way you’re acting now is just pathetic.”Gael’s gaze was icy. Yanni lightly raised her phone. “Remember to meet my lawyer tomorrow.”With that, she turned to leave, with Keaton accompanying her. Before they departed, he cast a cryptic glance at Gael, with a hint of inscrutable meaning.Keaton loved Yanni.In reality, Gael knew well that with Yanni’s character and busy schedule, she wouldn’t have an affair. However, Keaton was too dazzling and too impressive. He was certain t
Zoe Sanders wasn’t sure if every cheating man had two phones. Mason’s lover sent a picture to him while he was in the bathroom. She was a delicate young lady, but she was dressed in elegant attire that didn’t exactly fit her age. So, she looked a little out of place. “Thank you for the birthday present, Mason.”Zoe stared at his phone for a long time. Then, her eyes welled up. She knew Mason had kept a lover on the side, but she didn’t think she’d look like this. Aside from the obvious heartache, Zoe was surprised at her husband’s taste in women as well.She felt sorry that she saw his secret. Then, she heard the bathroom door opening. Mason wrapped a towel over his defined muscle and sturdy chest. He was tall and sensual.“How long are you going to look at it?” He took the phone away, glanced at her, and started getting dressed. He wasn’t the least bit embarrassed over the fact that she caught him cheating. Zoe knew very well that he was able to act this way because he was the
Six years! That was how long she had loved him! Zoe closed her eyes abruptly.…It was a Friday night. Something bad happened in the Sanders house. Mason still wasn’t home. They received news that the eldest child in the Sanders family, Noah, might be facing a ten-year sentence because of the Sanders Group’s financial case.Ten years imprisonment was long enough to ruin someone’s life. Her dad was hospitalized due to a brain hemorrhage. It was critical and he needed to undergo surgery immediately. Zoe stood in the hospital hallway and called Mason non-stop, but he didn’t answer. Just when she was about to give up, he sent her a text via WhatsApp. It was brief as usual. “I’m still in Hucksburgh. Find Ava if you need anything.”She gave him a call again, and he answered this time. Zoe said at once, “Mason. My dad is…” Mason cut her off abruptly. He sounded a tad impatient, “Is this about the money? I told you. Just look for Ava. She’ll hook you up… Are you even listening, Zoe?”
Mason went back to Brookesville three days later. It was already evening when the black RV rolled into the villa and the chauffeur killed its engine. Then, he opened the car door for his master.Mason got out of the car. He saw that the chauffeur was about to take his luggage and said, “I can do it myself.”The servants rushed at him as soon as he entered the living room. “Something happened to your father-in-law a few days ago, Mr. Mason. Ms. Zoe is in a bad mood. She’s upstairs now!”He knew what had happened to the Sanders family. Irritated, he took his luggage upstairs and opened his bedroom door. Zoe was tidying up the dresser. He put down his luggage, loosened his tie, and studied her. Zoe had loved doing the house chores, cleaning up, and making snacks ever since they had gotten married. If it had not been for her outstanding looks and graceful physique, she would have been no different from a nanny.Zoe did not say a word for a long time. Mason was quite worn out from the
“Yeah. You gave me a hundred thousand dollars every month when my family was in trouble. However, I feel like a hooker every time I take the check from you. “It felt like you were paying me after you had your way with me in bed!”…Mason cut her off coldly. “Is that how you see it?” He pinched her chin softly. “Do you think hookers don’t know how to please a man sexually, like you? You don’t even know how to moan. All you did was squeal like a kitty!“You want to divorce me, huh? Do you have any idea the kind of life you'll have if you leave me…?”Zoe felt pain from his pinch and raised her hand to break free. He caught her hand and stared at her ring finger. “Where’s your wedding ring?”“I sold it off!” She said miserably. “I’m going to divorce you, Mason!”It took everything she had to utter those words. She had loved him for six years. If it had not been for what she saw and the fireworks that night, she might have still felt compelled to lock herself in this loveless ma
He had to have her. There was no changing his mind. Furthermore, Zoe looked so delicate beneath him. He might not have loved her, but he did love her body.Mason was unapologetic as he moved to have sex with her. Zoe held him off by his shoulders, her breath labored. “I didn’t take the pill for the past few days, Mason. You’re going to get me pregnant.”He stopped in his tracks. He might want it badly, but he had not lost his good sense. He had no plans to have a baby with Zoe. Not yet, anyway. Mason paused for a while before sneering. “You thought things through, it seems!”Her defiance meant nothing to him. He placed one of his hands on her side and took out a box of condoms from the nightstand with another.He was about to tear it open when his phone rang! He ignored it, tore it up, and leaned in to kiss Zoe. She shook her head, trying to break free from him.His phone kept ringing.Mason finally picked it up, displeased. It was his mother, Lisa. “Your grandma isn’t feelin
