The Forbidden Ties Chapter 59
HAPPINESS'S POVOur lips quickly found one another. Our bodies spoke a language of their own, a plea that they should not be parted so soon. Mason adjusted my legs, positioning me to straddle him as I braced myself on his shoulders, my breasts hanging just above him, while his cock rested beneath the soft slick heat of my pussy. Gripping the flesh of my thighs, he coaxed me into motion, guiding the rhythm of my back and forth over him. Mason rubbed his thumbs over my nipples, watching them pucker in response. Once I sank down to the hilt, I paused, savoring the sensation. With his gentle urge, I began moving again. My arms were on either side of his head for support, while his hands found my hips gripping it tight. With measured movement, I raised and lowered myself on his cock, each slow slick glide heavenly torture. Mason groaned as I moved faster, and my eyes closed shut, my teeth bit into my lower lip, and my nails digged into his shoulders. “Yes, my love. Like that.” He growl

HAPPINESS'S POVThe relief of having Ash and Maria back on my side was short-lived. Because as soon as I settled into the car beside Mason, my phone buzzed.At first, I ignored it, but then it kept vibrating, notifications piling up one after the other. My heart clenched. I didn't want to look. I really didn't. But Mason, ever the observant detective, had already caught on."You should check it," he said, keeping his eyes on the road.I swallowed hard, unlocking my phone. My stomach twisted as I saw my name trending. Again."The age gap is insane. What does she even talk about with him?""She must have been a kid when they met. This is so creepy.""Gold digger much?""Detective or not, he should know better than to date a college student."My hands trembled as I scrolled through the endless flood of opinions, most of them harsh, picking apart our relationship like it was some sort of scandalous crime.I hadn't even posted about Mason publicly, yet here I was, dissected for everyone’s

HAPPINESS'S POVThe soft hum of the microwave filled the silence as I sat on the kitchen counter, watching Mason move around like that's the best place for him. Him heating up a meal, sleeves rolled up, posture relaxed felt oddly intimate.I clutched my warm mug of tea, taking a sip before speaking. "Mason?"He turned, leaning against the counter. "Hmm?"I studied him, the way the dim kitchen light cast shadows over his sharp features. "When Sandra left… how did you deal with it?"His expression flickered for a second, a momentary crack before he let out a slow breath. "You really want to talk about this now?"I nodded. "I want to understand. You’ve been where I am, but you handled it so well like it didn’t break you. How?"He was quiet, eyes distant, probably reliving a memory. Then, after a moment, he walked over, standing between my legs as his hands rested on my thighs."It did break me," he admitted. "I just didn’t let the world see it."I frowned, my fingers tightening around my

HAPPINESS'S POVThe rest of the morning passed in a blur of lectures and half-hearted attempts to focus. Despite Maria and Ash’s company, I could feel the weight of the stares, the hushed whispers that followed me wherever I went.By lunchtime, I was exhausted.Maria, ever the sensible one, suggested we eat in the quieter outdoor seating area instead of the packed cafeteria. We found a shaded bench near the fountain, where the sound of running water helped drown out the chaos of campus life.Ash took a sip of her iced coffee before smirking. "So, are you and Mason planning a press conference or just letting the internet do its thing?"I sighed. "We’re not planning anything. The less attention we give it, the faster it dies down. They'll move on to someone else soon."Maria hummed in agreement. "That’s probably for the best. But still, you should prepare yourself. This won’t just disappear overnight."She was right, of course. I knew this wouldn’t be over just because I ignored it. The

HAPPINESS’S POVThe weight of Mason’s words settled over me like a heavy blanket. Tomorrow, we were meeting his parents. His mother wanted to ‘clear the air’. What does that even mean?I exhaled slowly, trying to steady my nerves. Mason’s hands were still on my waist, grounding me.“Are you sure?” he asked, his voice softer now. “You don’t have to do this if you’re not ready.”I looked up at him, searching his face. Mason wasn’t afraid of his parents, but I could tell he was bracing himself for whatever tomorrow would bring.“I’m sure,” I said. “If they have questions, I’d rather be there to answer them than have them assume the worst.”His thumb brushed against my hip, the warmth of his touch making it easier to breathe. “Alright,” he said finally. “We’ll go together.”I nodded, but my mind was already racing ahead to the possibilities. Would they be supportive? Would they try to talk Mason out of this? Would they look at me and see someone unworthy of their son?I didn’t realize ho

HAPPINESS'S POVThe scent of buttery popcorn filled the air as I curled up on the couch, my legs tucked beneath me. Ash sat cross-legged on the floor, scrolling through her phone, while Maria had claimed the other end of the couch, flipping through TV channels with little interest."Are we actually watching something, or is this just background noise?" Ash asked, tossing a kernel of popcorn into her mouth.Maria sighed, still flipping. "Honestly, nothing looks interesting. Why do they even make this many channels if they all suck?""Capitalism," Ash replied dryly.I chuckled. "You're just upset because you finished your series and now you don't know what to do with yourself."Ash pointed a dramatic finger at me. "Exactly. That show had me in a chokehold, and now I feel abandoned."Maria snorted. "Try reading a book."Ash gasped. "I'm offended. Do I look like someone who has the patience to sit through pages of tiny words?"I shook my head, amused. "You're ridiculous.""But you love me

HAPPINESS’S POVMason’s car glided smoothly down the road, the hum of the engine filling the comfortable silence between us. City lights flickered outside the window, casting a soft glow over the sleek leather interior.I adjusted my dress slightly, smoothing the fabric over my thighs. Mason had been stealing glances at me since we left, and I wasn’t imagining the way his fingers kept flexing on the wheel.“You keep looking at me like that, and we might not make it to this party,” I teased, glancing at him.Mason smirked, shifting in his seat. “It's not my fault you look like that.”I rolled my eyes, but the warmth in my chest spread. “Eyes on the road, detective.”He sighed dramatically. “You’re asking too much of me.”I laughed, reaching for his hand on the gear shift. The moment our fingers touched, he turned his palm up, lacing them together. His thumb brushed over my skin in slow, lazy circles.Mason stole another glance at me before shaking his head. “Seriously, how am I suppose

HAPPINESS’S POVThe air in the ballroom was thick with expensive perfume, and laughter when I got back inside. The clinking of glasses as servers weaved through the crowd with trays of champagne.Mason’s hand rested against my back, firm and reassuring. Yet, despite his presence, the unease in my chest refused to fade.He leaned down slightly, his voice a low murmur against my ear. "You okay?"I nodded quickly, forcing a small smile. "Of course."His gaze lingered on me for a second longer, as if he didn’t fully believe me, but before he could push further, a deep voice called his name."Ah, Mason! Finally!"A tall man in a sleek black suit approached, exuding effortless confidence.“James,” Mason greeted, shaking his hand firmly. “Didn’t think I’d see you here.”“Couldn’t miss it. Besides, your Dad wouldn’t let me.” James chuckled before his eyes flicked to me. "And you must be Happiness."I nodded politely. "It’s nice to meet you."“Likewise,” he said, though I could tell his intere

The Forbidden Ties Chapter 72
Ash rummaged through the freezer, letting out an exaggerated gasp when she found a tub of chocolate ice cream. “Oh, we are best friends for life. You keep premium ice cream stocked? I knew you were the one for me.”I chuckled, shaking my head as she grabbed spoons from the drawer and plopped onto the couch beside me. She handed me one and popped the lid open. “No bowls. We’re eating straight from the tub like the emotionally balanced young adults we are.”I scooped a spoonful, letting the cold sweetness melt on my tongue. “Emotionally balanced, huh?”She waved a hand. “Details.” Then, as if remembering something, she turned to me with a grin. “So, tell me, does this place come with any mysterious, forbidden rooms? Like a secret passage or a wine cellar full of rare vintage bottles?”I raised an eyebrow. “It’s not a haunted house, Ash.”“Disappointing,” she sighed dramatically before shoving a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth.I set my spoon down and leaned back, letting my head re

HAPPINESS’S POVThe car ride back felt longer than it should have. Mason’s grip on the steering wheel was firm, his jaw set, but he didn’t say anything.I didn’t either.I was still trying to sort through everything Gift had said, still trying to make sense of the polite yet pointed conversation we’d had.She hadn’t been cruel. She hadn’t raised her voice.But every of her word had carried weight. And whether she meant to or not, I felt it pressing down on me.The moment Mason pulled into the driveway and parked, I exhaled slowly. My fingers lingered on the seatbelt before I finally unbuckled it.He turned to me. “Happiness…”“I’m fine.” The words slipped out automatically, but even I wasn’t convinced.Mason studied me for a long moment before nodding once. He didn’t argue. He didn’t press. He just reached over, took my hand, and squeezed.I squeezed back before pulling away and stepping out of the car.Inside, I headed straight for the kitchen. I wasn’t hungry, but I needed something
The Forbidden Ties Chapter 70
HAPPINESS’S POVThe silence in the car was heavier than it should have been. Mason’s hands gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles tight, his jaw clenched as he focused on the road ahead. He hadn’t said much since his mother’s call, but I could feel the tension radiating off him.“She won’t do anything to hurt you,” he finally said, breaking the silence.I swallowed, watching the trees blur past the window. “I know.”But that wasn’t the real concern, was it? It wasn’t about outright harm. It was about the unspoken words, the careful, measured tone that could cut just as deeply.Mason sighed, running a hand through his hair. “If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to.”I turned to him, searching his expression. “And what would that say about me?”His lips pressed into a thin line. “That you don’t have to prove anything to anyone.”Maybe he believed that. Maybe he wanted to. But we both knew this was something I couldn’t avoid forever. If I was going to be in his life, I had to face t
The Forbidden Ties Chapter 69
HAPPINESS’S POVThe morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room. I stirred, blinking against the warmth of the sunlight as I became aware of the steady rise and fall of Mason’s breathing beside me.He was still asleep, his arm loosely draped over my waist, his body warm and solid against mine. I stayed still for a moment, listening to the quiet, trying to gather my thoughts.Last night, Mason hadn’t pushed me. He had simply been there, his presence steady, his touch reassuring. And somehow, that had made it harder to keep everything bottled up.I turned slightly, careful not to wake him, but as soon as I moved, his hold tightened.“Where are you going?” His voice was thick with sleep, his eyes barely open.“I thought you were asleep.”He hummed, shifting onto his back but keeping his hand on my hip. “I was. You okay?”I hesitated.I wanted to say yes. To brush it off like I did yesterday. But I couldn’t. Not this time.I swallowed, my fingers playi

MASON’S POVThe house was quiet when I got back. Too quiet.Happiness’s shoes were by the door, so I knew she was home, but I didn’t hear anything. There was no movement, no humming from the kitchen, nothing.I set my keys down, shrugging off my jacket as I walked further inside. The living room lights were dim, casting soft shadows across the walls. Then I saw her.She was curled up on the couch, knees pulled to her chest, staring at her phone screen with a look I couldn’t quite place. She didn’t notice me at first.I took a slow breath.James was right. Pushing her wouldn’t work. If I wanted her to talk, to trust me with whatever was weighing on her, I had to show her that she didn’t have to do this alone.So, I moved carefully.“Hey,” I murmured, settling down beside her.She blinked, startled, before quickly locking her phone and forcing a small smile. “Hey.”That smile didn’t reach her eyes.I didn’t say anything at first, just reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind
The Forbidden Ties Chapter 67
MASON'S POVThe bedroom was quiet, the only sound was the steady rhythm of Happiness’s breathing. The city lights filtered through the curtains, casting soft shadows on the walls. She was curled up beside me, her back to my chest, her body warm but stiff—like she was here, but not really.I stared at the ceiling, replaying the night over and over.Something changed. I felt it the moment we left the party, the way she looked out the window instead of at me, the way her words were carefully measured, distant.She probably thought I didn’t notice. She was wrong.I reached out, letting my fingers trail lightly over her arm. She didn’t move, didn’t lean into my touch like she normally would.That tiny reaction, or the lack of it, gnawed at me.I exhaled slowly, my jaw tightening.Did someone say something to her?Had I done something wrong?I had tried to ask, but she shut me down with dismissive answers. Lies wrapped in soft words.I wanted to push, to demand the truth from her lips. But
