Third Person's POV:Isabel stood frozen, her eyes widening as she found Mason standing right in front of her. Jeremy, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, refusing to release his embrace on Isabel, completely disregarding Mason's presence. This only fueled Mason's anger, and he couldn't hold himself back any longer. Determined, he walked straight toward them, ready to free Isabel from Jeremy's hold."Let her go, Jeremy," Mason demanded, his voice laced with a mixture of frustration and concern. Gently, he pulled Isabel towards him, causing her to collide with his chest.Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, Isabel struggled to believe that this was actually happening. She could feel Mason's rapid heartbeat against her, confirming the reality of the moment, yet a sense of haziness lingered.

Third Person's POV:As Mason requested Nina, she went to meet with Isabel and asked her to pay a visit to grandmother, who was eagerly longing to see Isabel once again. Aware that mentioning Mason's involvement would only lead to Isabel's immediate refusal, Nina kept quiet about him.Although Isabel had been wanting to visit her grandmother for quite some time after her recovery, she had little concern for Mason. Having already divorced him, she felt completely detached from him, caring not whether he would be present at home or not.Upon arrival, Isabel headed straight to her grandmother's room, never crossing paths with Mason along the way. However, as she stood outside the door, hesitations flooded her mind, reminding her of their unpleasant past encounters. Above all, she questioned whether her presence would bring joy to her grandmother or stir up old wounds once again."It's alright, Isabel. Go inside. She's been waiting for you," reassured Nina, sensing Isabel's apprehension. H

Third Person's POV: Mason's grip on her wrist loosened slightly, but he still held onto her, his voice taking on a softer tone, laced with a touch of vulnerability. "Rather than sending those foolish divorce papers, Isabel, perhaps you could give me another chance."Isabel found it difficult to take him seriously. Divorce had seemed like his ultimate desire throughout their marriage, and now he appeared devastated at the thought of it. She swiftly pulled her wrists from his grasp and attempted to walk away, but Mason halted her once more."Please, Isabel, just listen to me. We need you in our lives. My family needs you, and I need you too. Your absence has suffocated me and thrown my mind into disarray. Please come back. Allow me one final opportunity to make things right," Mason pleaded earnestly, his words pouring from the depths of his heart, desperately hoping for her to reconsider.However, the more his sadness enveloped him, the more Isabel questioned the sudden change of his h

She knew her decision would go against what he might expecting, but she couldn't stay with him any longer."Mason," she began, her voice quivering with a mixture of sadness and determination, "I already told you my decision. There will be nothing between us anymore. It's over."Mason's face contorted with a mix of disbelief and heartbreak. He reached out a trembling hand towards her, his voice filled with desperation. "Isabel, please. Don't speak like that. Give me a chance, and I'm willing to change."Isabel's heart ached at his words, but she knew deep down that being around him become suffocating. They had grown apart, their relationship fading into a mere shadow of what it used to be. She might tried to give him the chance he was pleading for, but she couldn't deny her own happiness and self respect any longe
