Zoe had belonged to Mason the whole time. Gregory was the only fool who had willingly been the invisible outsider, not even worthy of being the third wheel.At the next moment, his phone rang.He ignored it, but it kept ringing. It seemed the caller wasn’t about to give up anytime soon. In the end, he leaned over and picked up his phone from the glove compartment and checked it. It was his fiancée.Her voice was silky when she spoke. “I want to refit my wedding dress tomorrow, Gregory. Will you go with me?”Leaning back on his seat, he wore a blank expression. The fact was that he knew his fiancée loved him, but they were only marrying each other for business purposes. Why did she have to treat it so seriously?!With that said, he wasn’t about to embarrass her.His voice was husky when he said, “Sure! Let my assistant know about the details! I’ll go with you tomorrow.”His fiancée was delighted to hear it. She proceeded to discuss some of the wedding ceremony details with him
Ella looked affectionate and serene whenever she talked about Farley and his daughter. Staring at her friend quietly, Zoe fell into deep thought. Ella had changed completely. She had become someone akin to Rosemary, capable and independent. She was happy that Ella turned out like this. Now that she had brought up Rosemary, Ella insisted that they had to ask her out for some coffee or something. Zoe knew, deep down, that her friend wanted to meet up with Rosemary because she was a friend of Farley’s. Ella wanted to hear Rosemary talk about her late husband so that, in a way, he’d be able to live on in this world. Then, she left Ella’s apartment. She couldn’t help but feel sad about Farley. He was such a decent man that it was painful to think that they had lost him. She hated how unfair and indifferent the universe was.With that said, she couldn’t do anything about it. It was evening when she went to The One Gourmet’s office building. There was a pile of work waiting for h
Zoe made her way into her villa. It was as warm as spring here. Several of her servants filed down the stairs and greeted her warmly when they saw her. “Mr. Mason sent over a lot of gifts. We’ve moved all of them to the private lounge on the second floor! Please go over them when you have the chance. Ms. Zoe.”Her servants had always worked hard. So, she didn’t have the heart to reprimand them. “Okay.” She responded lightly and climbed the stairs. Opening the bedroom door, she saw a mountain of delicate gift boxes, each of them came with a gift card too. She counted and found that there were a total of thirty-one gifts in there. Mason had given her thirty-one gifts because she was thirty-one years old now.Taking off her coat, she sat on the wool carpet and unwrapped her gifts. Some of them were exquisite pieces of jewelry while some others were limited edition handbags. There was also silk sleepwear and skincare in there. As she unwrapped the last box of gifts, she saw a Pat
The night was as gentle and mellow as it could be. Mason’s voice sounded exceptionally seductive on this beautiful night. “It’s hard to please you, Zoe.”She didn’t respond to that. All she did was lie down on the pillow and listen to his light breathing. She didn’t say or do anything. Instead, she resorted to wasting her time and life away, holding the phone…With that said, Mason was keeping her company on the other end of the phone. So, was she really wasting her time here?Not long after, she actually fell asleep!At the other end of the phone, he was sitting in the study as he looked out the window and into the night. He knew Zoe felt wronged because he humiliated and chased her away the last time he was still in a wheelchair. She was a proud lady. How was she supposed to be okay with that and reconcile with him, just like that?They might've slept with each other last night, but he knew Zoe too well to be thinking that she’d reconcile with him because they had sex severa
Saül asked solemnly, “Is it because of Mason?”He had put his feelers out and confirmed that Zoe was no longer attached to Mason. Moreover, he put a lot of thought into it before he started making his moves on her. He was no longer a young man. That was why he gave himself enough time to be sure that he wanted a wife like Zoe.She was exquisite and charming, exactly his type. Zoe shook her head, “It’s not entirely about him, Saül! Please believe me when I say I have reasons of my own for this decision.”Staring at her for quite some time, he finally confirmed that she wasn’t joking, nor was she playing hard to get.What a shame, Saül thought to himself. Despite his personal feelings, he maintained his composure and said, “If that’s the case, I hope you’ll do me the honor of having this dinner with me! We can seize this opportunity and talk about the details of the collaboration.”She didn’t make something out of his invitation. The fact was that she loved dealing with smart,
Mason had spoken the truth.She did come here for a blind date. However, she couldn’t have predicted that it’d be Saül. With that said, she wasn’t about to appear weak before Mason. Leaning on the car window, she said coldly, “So what if it was a blind date? We’re no one to each other, Mason. You don’t have the right to stop me from going on dates!”Instead of responding to her, he was content with staring at her quietly.After a long time, Zoe intended to get out of the car. At the next moment, she heard a soft click. Mason had locked her in once again. She turned to the side and looked at him. She still couldn’t read his face. He was staring right at her when he said, “We have an agreement, Zoe. We could ask each other out if we want to have sex! What’s the matter? Did it slip your mind?”Zoe was both mortified and upset at what he said. They might’ve been married and slept with each other countless times in the past, but she still couldn’t take it every time he blatantly t
Holding Zoe’s body gently, Mason grinded into her sensually, showering her with kisses at the same time. Naturally, she was turned on. On top of that, she was moved. However, she could feel that something was flowing out of her when Mason was about to put it in. It was wet and sticky as it coursed through her inner thigh. At the next moment, her voice was broken when she said mortifyingly, “I’m on my period!”That stunned Mason. Then, his face turned red. This was the last thing he had expected to happen. What was worse, it had been such a long time since she stayed in his manor that there were no longer any sanitary pads around here. The next thing he knew, it started pouring outside. It wouldn’t make sense for him to go out and buy some now.She said softly, “Send me home now.”There was no way he would let that happen. Running his hand across her shoulder affectionately, he responded, “I’ll go downstairs and ask them. Perhaps Layla and the others have it.”She wanted t
Mason wasn’t sure how he should feel about this.The last time he was at Westley’s apartment, he knew just how much Lila loved his father. He hadn’t even dealt with her and here came a fresh set of problems.Dewetta was accusing Westley of groping her. The whole thing escalated and they were brought to the police department. Needless to say, it hurt the company’s reputation.He had no choice but to deal with it himself. Even Zoe was surprised at the revelation. Glancing at the heavy rain outside, she pondered a little and said, “Have Luke take you there. Otherwise, I’m coming with you!”His legs might’ve recovered fully, but she was worried about him because of the terrible weather.They stared at each other in the mirror for a long time. Then, he said softly, “I’ll ask Luke to take me there. Your period has just started. You should rest. After all, you’ve always been rather frail.”It was brief, but the affections in his words were unmistakable. Truth be told, she was still
