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
Mason knew his grandma said that on purpose, but he stole a glance at Zoe nonetheless. She had no intention of acting all lovey-dovey with him. She chatted with Barbara for a while before standing up and said, “I’ll make the pretzels now.”The smile on Barbara’s face was gone as soon as Zoe left. Then, she leaned back. “What’s up with Lilith, Mason? You can look after her a little, but fireworks are a tad too much. Zoe might be jealous of her and pick a bone with you.“You should make more effort for Zoe. Don’t neglect her.“She might just run away if you continue to treat her like she’s nothing.”…Mason gave Barbara some answers to appease her, but he did not bother to justify the fireworks. Perhaps it was Ava’s doing! They had been chatting for a while when Zoe came in with the snacks. He looked at her and saw that she kept her shirt clean. She was so elegant and beautiful. Every lady should follow her example. He lost his appetite for food all of a sudden. Barbara, on th
Zoe released her grip on the car door handle. The atmosphere in the car was oppressive.Mason was actually tired from his trip and the subsequent visit to Lockwood Manor. He rubbed his brow with one hand and gripped the steering wheel with another, the impatience clear in his voice. “When are you going to stop being unreasonable?”So, he merely thought she was being unreasonable. How disappointing. Zoe sat upright and said softly after a brief pause, “I’m serious, Mason! I don’t want to be with you anymore!” He turned around and looked at her. He looked so dashing with his sharp features. She used to fall for him every time, but she felt nothing now. Not even a little. …Mason stared at her and unbuckled his seat belt. “Out of the car!” Zoe exited the car as soon as he unlocked the doors and walked briskly toward the villa. She puffed up her chest, determined to go through with the divorce. Mason smoked a cigarette before he got out of the car and went upstairs. They e
Zoe tightened the thermal jug’s lid and said softly, “I’ll find a way around it! The money I made from selling my wedding ring will support Dad’s medical bill for half a year. “As for Noah’s legal fee, I’m going to sell this house. Aside from that, I’ll look for a job that’ll let me support the family.” Tears started to build up in Zoe’s eyes. Her birth mother left this house for them. They had never had to sell it away despite the hardships they went through in the past. Mia was taken aback. She might have stopped persuading Zoe, but deep down she disagreed with it. Both of them went to the hospital after Zoe was done with her preparations.Gordon Sanders had stabilized greatly after the doctor treated him. He was merely a little distressed, worrying about Noah’s future. Zoe said nothing about her divorce. In the afternoon, Gordon’s doctor came to check on him.Doctor Cecil was a young and revered neurosurgeon with a Ph.D. Boasting a height of six feet, he was graceful, gentle
The entire internet exploded. Ocelotte from Fowlerlotte Tech Co. publicly admitted his love for Molly, directly confirming their relationship. Now, everyone on the internet was waiting on Fowlerlotte Tech Co.'s official account for Ocelotte's response, eagerly anticipating an interaction from Molly.This was the biggest news of the year. Not only in the entertainment industry but also in the finance and tech sectors, practically every industry related to the Sanders family was making headlines. Lorian, Yanni, and Jamie’s romantic histories were exposed, along with the disgraceful past of Noah. The most famous stories probably belonged to Mason and Zoe, described as a "blue death romance." The entire internet was watching the drama unfold. There were 8 major "explosive" headlines in one day, causing an insane traffic surge. "Scarlet Dreams, Jade Skies" suddenly gained 12 additional co-distributors. Dave was gleefully boasting at home, calling Scarlett to ask, “How’s
Scarlett was gambling on whether Ocelotte, that bastard, had any conscience, whether he would step up like a man.…What surprised Scarlett even more was that there were actually people supporting Molly. The first to speak out was surprisingly Dave, who posted on Twitter. Dave stated that although Molly had caused some minor trouble for the crew, he believed she would handle things well. He also mentioned that she was a very dedicated actress and that she was not one to drink with men or seek wealthy patrons. He also said that she was an upright person. Dave was also taking a huge gamble! Scarlett called Dave immediately and scolded him, "What kind of nonsense is that? What do you mean by not drinking with men or seeking wealthy patrons?" Dave shot back, criticizing Scarlett for being tactless, "That's called showing real support, don’t you get it? When people in the industry speak up, it carries weight!" Scarlett thought Dave was out of his mind.But that wasn’t
There was a photo of Molly standing on a dim street corner, smoking. Her youthful face showed a look of indifference. At that time, she was only 16, but she already looked like a little gangster. This was completely different from the celebrity she was, but her facial features clearly revealed that it was indeed Molly.Entertainment hot searches were dominated by Molly, with over 20 trending topics, and various negative reports followed one after another. It seemed like she was nailed to the pillar of shame overnight. Amid the insults, Molly was deemed unworthy of being human. Her past with Ocelotte during their youth was also dug up.Molly was branded as a gangster, a scheming woman, and a gold-digger. Her reputation was completely ruined, and her unreleased films were boycotted by the audience.In no time, everyone knew that Molly was finished.When the world was in chaos, where was she, though? She was curled up and all alone in her apartment, sitting quietly on the small so
After Molly left, Ocelotte also departed. In the dead of night, he returned to the Sanders Residence. As expected, Noah was waiting, watching for his son’s return. The moment Noah saw Ocelotte’s grim face, he scoffed, "Coming back in the middle of the night, looking like a ghost. It's scary to look at your fierce expression. Do you think any ladies would want you like this?"Ocelotte took off his coat, his voice calm and distant, "I just can't get along with her."Noah sneered. "That's because there's a ghost in your heart.""Molly isn’t a ghost."Noah's mocking laughter grew louder, "So, you've finally admitted it, huh? There's someone in your heart! If you like her, go ahead and pursue her. "Why are you playing these games instead? Over the past year, you’ve been through so many blind dates, none of them were right. But the truth is, there’s someone in your heart all along."Ocelotte felt a surge of frustration. He sat down, lit a cigarette, and sank into deep thought. At
The night was deep and silent.Molly wasn’t sure if she had heard him correctly. How could Ocelotte make such a request? Didn’t he hate her? Didn’t he have a girlfriend? Hadn’t he cut ties with her?Her heart was racing, filled with confusion and turmoil.Ocelotte’s gaze was intense as he asked again, his voice even deeper. “Do you want to do it? Because I really do.”Molly wanted to refuse. She knew that if she agreed, it would only make her seem even more cheap in his eyes. But she couldn’t bring herself to reject him. Deep down, she wanted him too.It’s unclear who initiated it, but they began kissing. They stumbled and fell onto the couch in the throes of passion.What followed next was an infinite and steamy entanglement between two bodies in the most erotic way possible.Both of them had abstained from sex for far too long. Naturally, it couldn’t end with just one round. Ocelotte was almost unwilling to stop as he humped her soft and gentle body. Once he slipped his manhoo
In the elevator, Ocelotte looked up at the red numbers. His voice was calm and distant as he spoke. "Do you often attend these kinds of social events? Constantly serving men drinks and food, even wiping their pants? Doesn’t Brody care about this?"From what Ocelotte knew, Brody had a successful career outside of acting, with his own companies that earned quite well. Since Molly was supposed to be Brody's girlfriend, how could he let her go out like this? How could he let her expose herself to the spotlight and sacrifice her dignity for money?Ocelotte's disdain for Molly was real, but so was their past. He couldn’t forget it. The allure of her being the lady he loved but could never get was indeed powerful.Half a minute later, the elevator stopped on the top floor. Stepping out, they arrived at a suite in an international hotel. Ocelotte swiped the key card and opened the door. Standing at the threshold, he looked at Molly, "Come in. Don’t worry, I don’t have that intention."
Molly hesitated for a moment. Dave frowned. He was just about to scold her, but Ocelotte had already hung up his coat. When he turned back, his gaze rested on Molly, deep and unreadable. Dave was quick to pick up on subtleties, and he immediately caught on; Ocelotte was interested. Then, he had a lightbulb moment and realized that they must've been involved before.Seizing the opportunity, Dave seated Molly right next to Ocelotte. He even instructed her specifically to serve him more dishes and drink with him, ensuring he would leave happy. Molly softly protested that she wasn’t good at such things, which only irritated Dave. He snapped, “Just do what you used to do. Is that so hard?” Molly’s face turned a little pale. The last thing she wanted was to use Ocelotte for personal gain, but in a setting like this, she didn’t have the authority to simply walk away. Molly sat beside Ocelotte, mimicking the others’ attentive gestures by serving him food. She spoke very little,
Molly saw it. When Ocelotte's car brushed past them, there were tears in the corner of Molly's eyes. But Ocelotte could no longer see them; he only saw her in someone else's arms. It was all over! Ocelotte thought this was fine. Molly had found her place, and whether he got married in the future or not, he wouldn’t be tormented by midnight doubts anymore. He wouldn’t miss someone so deeply, nor would he torture himself with the tangled emotions of love and hate. Brody had also seen Ocelotte. He asked Molly, "Do you want to explain? There's still time." Brody was no saint. He loved Molly, but his feelings for her carried a tinge of heartache. Even if she didn’t end up with him, he still hoped she could find happiness. Molly was different from him; she was a celebrity. Yet sometimes, Brody felt she resembled a pitiful little puppy, unwanted and abandoned. He wanted to take her home. If Ocelotte didn’t want her, then Brody would take her home. However, the little puppy
The wind rustled through the tree leaves, whispering stories of ages past as if the tree itself carried the weight of time. Brody’s black car came to a halt under the moonlit night. Molly didn't move immediately. She turned her head to look at Brody, then reached over and handed him a delicate, expensive box. Her voice was barely audible as she whispered, “I’m sorry.”Inside the box, nestled like a secret, was a white gem bracelet. It was clear from its craftsmanship that it was an heirloom from Brody’s family, a precious and irreplaceable treasure. Molly knew it was far too valuable for her to accept; she couldn’t and wouldn’t take something so precious.The interior of the car was dim, the only light coming from the faint glow outside. Brody’s eyes, which were dark as the night around them, gazed at her without a word. Brody's hand remained on the steering wheel, but his fingers caressed it gently as if he were touching the heart of someone he loved. He studied her fragile, i
