Sebastian’s POV

Anger and pain! That was exactly the two emotions I was feeling right now.

“Who did this to you?” I asked Mason.

"Who's responsible for this, Mason?" I questioned again, my voice filled with concern.

Mason hesitated and tried to hide and cover up his sleeves. My frustration boiled over, and I shouted, "Tell me, Mason! Who hurt you?"

Driven by anger, I lifted him and ripped his pajama shirt to reveal his bruised body.

Tears welled up in his eyes as I saw the painful beating marks on Mason's body. Some were recent, while others seemed older and partially healed.

"Mason, please, tell me who did this," I pleaded, my voice trembling as tears threatened to spill.

The poor boy also started crying and explained, "This is why I ran away from home. I didn't want to tell you, to avoid causing a rift between you and her."

I couldn't believe it. "Wait a second, are you saying Louisa did this to you?" I asked in disbelief.

"Not her, but the guys she brought home," Mason explained.

He was always the one planning dates and giving me thoughtful gifts, while I hadn't made him feel as cherished in return.Tonight, I was determined to surprise him and show him how much I loved and appreciated him. I went downstairs to set the table, ensuring everything was just right. With Abigail's assistance, I prepared a three-course meal for George before she left.With everything in place, I took a moment to freshen up and changed into my favorite red dress, the one George always complimented me on.

We lived a simple and decent life, and I couldn't recall having any past enemies who would want to sabotage our marriage. So, who could it be?I anxiously awaited Monday to meet with Rose and discuss this matter.

I was still waiting for a response.Over the weekend, Susan had called me to confirm if I was still picking up Isabella, as I had promised.

Julius had mentioned earlier that she had suddenly quit her job at the bar.I called my secretary and let her know I wouldn't be in for a while. Something didn't feel right, so I drove to the factory.When I arrived, I scanned the area, looking for Rose."Surprise to see you here. I didn't expect that," Rose said from the upper floor of the factory."I could say the same about you, Rose. What brings you to this city?" I asked as I started climbing the stairs to reach her."Funny you are asking now. I never thought you cared about me. I remember calling you for money when you left me stranded, but what did you do? You told me

The weekend had been enjoyable, and Alice had to leave on Sunday evening to prepare for work after spending the weekend with us.I didn't want her to go, and Mason felt the same way. He really enjoyed her company, which brought out a side of him I rarely saw, and it made me happy.I told him, "There's plenty of food in the kitchen for you. Everything you need is in the house, and please, don't open the door for any strangers."He nodded, saying, "Yes, brother."Then, I added, "One more thing," and I went to my room to get a package I had for him. I handed it over, and he eagerly accepted it.When he opened it, he screamed with excitement, "Thank you so much, brother!" He jumped on me happily and revealed the new phone I had just given him."You are welcome. I have stored my phone number there. Be sure to call me if you

    Susan’s POV"Hello, Mrs. Grey, how are you today?""Hi, Ms. Brown, I am fine, and you? Oh, by the way, you can call me Susan." Juliana smiled and said, "Thank you, Susan. I see you have come to pick Isabella up?" "Yes, I am sorry I came a bit late, I got carried away with some chores in the house." It wasn't really an excuse as to why I came late to pick my daughter up from school, but I couldn't tell Juliana that I had taken an afternoon nap and overslept. "That's not a problem, Isabella is actually playing with some of her friends over there," she pointed at the playground. "Guess you are not the only one running late today." We both laughed, and then she proceeded to say, "Susan, if you don't mind, I won't really spend much of your time though, but there is something I would love to discuss with you." "Okay, I actually do not mind. I hope everything is fine?" "Oh, sure. You don't need to worry about anything." She replied.Juliana found a secluded spot somewhere we coul

I was totally against the idea but Alice convinced me to respect his wish.Alice and I were outside, waiting for him but I still felt uncomfortable leaving him all alone in there."What if Louisa says something bad to him that might scar him or leave him traumatized? Or what if she convinces him to deny the fact that she had been maltreating him? It would make all my efforts futile." I said frustratingly as I continued pacing back and forth.Alice stood and embraced

Susan asked, bewildered.I chuckled at her confusion, patting George's head and telling him to stand up."Surprised to see me, Susan?" I teased."Can someone explain what's happening here, and why do you have my child?" Susan demanded, her voice rising."Shut up! Don't talk to my Mistress like that!" George snapped, defending me. His loyalty pleased me; he finally saw his wife for what she was, a trash."Wait, are you two lovers? Is that why George calls you Mistress? Have you been cheating on me with her?" Susan speculated.I wrinkled my nose in disgust. "No way! Why would I sleep with my own twin brother?""What? Did I hear you right?" Susan exclaimed, shocked."Yes, that's right. George is my twin brother," I confirmed."But how is that possible? You don't even have the same last name," Susan asked, still puzzled."My name is Georgina Grayson Grey.

He planned everything so well that I never suspected anything.He must have found out about my divorce with Patrick five years ago and followed me to the small town where I went to heal. He acted like he was meeting me for the first time and slowly became a part of my life.He must be probably feeling pleased with himself wherever he was, thinking he did a great job. But he would surely pay for all the pain he caused me.I wiped away my tears and asked Patrick, “Did you tell the police about this?”“Yes, they're still investigating. But for your safety and Isabella's, it's best if you stay away from him.”I agreed and quickly called the school.“I have to go pick up my daughter from school.

After securing a lot of bundles of cash, I directed Clark, "Arrange for a flight to Africa immediately. It will be harder for the authorities to track me there. No, scratch that—I'll just use my private jet. And ensure Bernice is safe.""Sorry Godfather, but Madam Bernice's safety has been compromised. She met with Al

Mr. Stephen was almost assassinated last night?"Mr. Stephen, we have no idea what you're talking about. What happened to you?" Mr. Smith asked, feigning ignorance."You want to play dumb, right? Because you and your friends knew I had evidence of your embezzlement in the company, you tried to assassinate me.
