With a threatening glare, he motioned for her to get in the car, and she obeyed, too terrified to resist any longer. The once familiar vehicle now felt like a suffocating cage.

As the engine roared to life, the car began to move, taking her away from the safety of the club and deeper into the unknown. Her mind raced with a million questions, and yet, she knew better than to challenge him further.

Inside the car, a tense silence enveloped them, broken only by the sound of Allora's shaky breaths.

Her heart raced as Mason accelerated the car, making her grip the seat in fear. The sensation of speed overwhelmed her, and every turn felt like a whirlwind of terror. Allora tried to find strength within herself, but the fear was overwhelming, suffocating her every thought.

Mason not iced her fear but showed no signs of concern or remorse. Instead, he smirked to himself, relishing the power he had over her emotions. The thrill of her vulnerability seemed to fuel him.

    She could not help but smile at the sight of him, feeling a rush of warmth spread through her like a cozy embrace. Nestling on the bed, she curled up like a contented kitten, savoring the moment as she watched him with admiration.His cold eyes locked onto hers, and the weight of his words was enough to crush the little dream she had been holding onto."I see you are still the bitch you were back then."He did not mean it, right?The hurt in her heart was palpable, and she struggled to find the right words to defend herself. But he did not seem to care about her feelings as he continued, "A desperate woman like you, who can sleep with her ex-husband, can not imagine being around any man."Her vulnerability turned into a mix of anger and sadness. She wanted to explain that the night they spent together was an attempt to find closure, but she knew it would be futile. He had already made up his mind, and there was no room for understanding or empathy.'How can he do this to me?' she

    "The whole night I did not sleep, worried where he took her, but her phone and purse were just with me," she added.Sharon.Elijah frowned and said, "but she was alone when I saw her, noI saw Mason nowhere."“What can you expect from a donkey who left his wife after inducing her to have an abortion,” she said."And now?" Elijah questioned taking a sip of tea.“I have already asked her parents for today's stay, let her rest and then maybe she'll talk, you know, unless she wants to no one can make her talk”, Sharon said as she looked at the sleeping Allora.“So, I will see you two at the office tomorrow, let me know if you need anything,” Elijah said.When Sharon went to wake Allora, she screamed. She was lying on the ground with blood oozing from her slashed wrist. She immediately called Elijah and they took her to the hospital.“Elijah, since I am indebted to you once, I will not report you to the police, you know the rules”, said his friend who was a doctor."She is not in danger

    He once again looks around at the somber faces as he lingers for a few seconds over the couple at the back of the room and then says "Well good luck and good morning to you all" with that he leaves the room.I have seen that woman before somewhere and why does this guy look familiar too, Mason thought as he left the room."Did not you say he was unemployed and struggling with his poor restaurant business?" Sharon asked Allora.Sharon, Allora and Elijah were sitting in the cafeteria."Yes, he had this restaurant together with his best friend, it was running downhill and many times I helped him financially," said Allora, grabbing her hair."How the hell does he get into a management job in just two years?" Sharon scoffed.Elijah was quiet and deep in thought while Allora was confused as to how Mason climbed the ladder in his career."It does not make sense to me, why does this happen to me? My work is my heaven, where I felt alive and now I have to face the person I wanted to never se

    He was caught looking at Allora, embarrassed, he released Allora, but the next second he asked, "What are you doing here?"She wanted to ask the same question, how has he changed in just 2 years.Why is she different? Mason thought as he openly looked her over from head to toe.Allora did not respond, however, she turned to Sharon, who was currently stunned, and said, "Let's go."By the time Mason could register what happened a few moments ago, Allora was out of sight. His confusion turned into a fury and when he looked around he not iced that many of the staff had seen his date. He lost the need for coffee and went back to his office."What is she doing here? How dare she get past me," he whispers.Allora was crying hysterically in one of the bathroom cubicles when she heard a knock."I know you are in there Allora and I also know you are crying, get out honey," Sharon said.Allora immediately got up and opened the cubicle door. She jumped into Sharon's arm and let her emotions o

    I said she is not what she portrays herself to be.Stop.Denying the truth isn't going to help you anyway, Mason.I love her.She has?I want her to be happy, even if it means I have to be away from her.Mason took his car back to his apartment, "Why do you have to come back into my life, Allora?""It was not enough that I let you go once, why are you making it difficult for me?" his trail of thoughts was interrupted by music playing on the radio. It was the song he sang and dedicated to Allora when he proposed to her before their wedding.When Allora entered her home, she saw her father waiting for her."Dadda, why aren't you sleeping?""Oh not hing, I thought I'd have hot tea with my daughter, it is been a long time since I could spend time with her," said Rayan. "You made tea for me? Why did you do that? I would have made it for you", Allora smiled and said.It was one of the things her father did for her and she missed them.

    The room felt more like a war zone with Mason and Allora glancing at each other every now and then."Add new criteria to the report, in addition to customer satisfaction, I also need the data for their dissatisfaction. The customer wants to see the percentage first and then proceed with transit," Mason said in his monot one voice.All the time, he was busy with conferences and was typing rigorously on his laptop. However, a call caught Allora's attention as he responded with a largesmile: "Mom, how are you?"Allora never had any issues with her mother-in-law Ruby, but she never stopped her son from divorcing her either. On the initial day of her divorce, Allora was plagued with many questions, why did this happen, there were no red flags or problems in their relationship, everyone was happy so why did they suddenly leave her without giving a reason.Flashbacks from the past made her uncomfortable and she made an excuse to leave the room, which did not go unnot iced by Mason, however

    What was left there on the table fell and in the next second Mason was in front of her.With her proximity and menacing aura, Allora took two steps back, irritating Mason. He grabbed her roughly by the forearm and pulled her closer to him. Looking directly into her teary eyes, he said, "If you need a man, you can come to me anytime, is it necessary that you prostitute yourself in the office too?"Once his words ring a bell for Allora, the tear-filled eyes begin to droop. She gasps from the physical and emotional painalso. She wanted to hit him, punch him, but his iron grip on her was making her feel helpless."Let me go," she stammered. It was a big thing for her to even finish her sentence while she was going through the agony. Agony at her accusation. Agony for indirectly calling her a whore."Why? Not satisfied with him? I can satisfy you right here, right now," Mason said as he breathed through clenched teeth.He pushed her onto the nearby couch before hovering over her. "What's

    Allora, who was at first taken aback by his presence, composed herself and said, "I am perfectly in line with the company's dress code, Mr. Ali. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a job.”Before she could walk, he dragged her by the elbow to a corner and said in a low voice: "Allora, this is not the time to argue, change your dress now", he was not icing the look she received from her male colleagues.After that day, Allora was afraid of his sudden outburst or proximity. Afraid that he would do something impulsive, she just shook her head. Mason opened his mouth to say something, but upon seeing her submissive, he left.Though she nodded her head, she had no other way of dealing with the dress issue except getting on with it. Before going to lunch with the client, Mason once again checked with Allora that she was dressed and lost his temper when she still walked around looking hot in black, attracting unwanted stares.He texted her as a last resort, "change that damn dress before I do

    When Rayan cleared his throat, Mason realized he was raping Allora in front of his father and son. He immediately straightens up and looks around, except for Allora."Do you want her to wear this?" Rayan asked, to which Allora's mother responded, "Come on Rayan, he's her husband. If he does not have a problem, what are you upset about? My daughter looks beautiful" when said Allora just blushed and lowered her head. head."We must?" Mason asked, feeling uncomfortable taking his wife out on a date and being afraid of her father."Do not forget to drop her off before 11," added Rayan, but again his wife responded, "stop it, she's not a teenager and she's seeing her husband.""He may have won you over, but son, it is still a long way to earn my trust," Rayan replied, looking at Mason with a challenge."I am ready to wait until you can trust me," he cleverly dodges the topic of leaving Allora ahead of time.The next stop was Sharon's house.

    "I shook my head not to come at 6:30 pm. I need time to get dressed, so pick me up at 8 pm I say," she replied with a frown.A familiar smile soon graced Sharon's face as Mason and Allora left for the car."I am sorry, Allora," Mason said for the umpteenth time since that day."I know," was Allora's quick reply."I know you need time to forgive me for suspecting you of having an affair with Daniel and making you abort our child," he pleaded while they were alone in the elevator."It still pains me that you think that way about me. I can understand why your mother would want to create a problem between us, but how can you believe her?" she said."How is your mother now?" she asked instead of waiting for an answer.She knows what happened, she can not change it, nor can she be hostile towards Ruby now that she was paying for her sins.

    "Yes, we managed to save the mother and child. Congratulations on the boy.""We'll be moving your wife to the ward shortly. She's under anesthesia and will wake up later." With that, the doctor was out of sight.Mason was still in a daze when Daniel tapped him on the shoulder enthusiastically."The freak is a father now," he chuckled, looking at Mason."Am I a father? Son?" he giggled like a teenager realizing it."I am a father to a prince," he cried, hugging his friend in ecstasy. "Shhh..." were the numerous responses they received in return.Allora was taken outside and transferred to her ward, as told by the doctor. Mason was looking intently at his unconscious wife and stroking her pale cheek. It was when the door opened that he saw a nurse carrying a bundle. He froze as he caught sight of movement, realizing the nurse had brought her son to him. He hesitantly looked at Allora, as he did not know how he was supposed to hold his son. What if he hurt you by mistake?Danie

    Allora was frozen in place even when Elijah lay unconscious on the floor. Pain, anger, frustration and every emotion rushed through her. She did not know what would happen to her or how she would deal with the consequences of going through so much, but she could not care less. She was tired of being the damsel, with people breaking her trust. At that moment, something snapped inside her. She was so overwhelmed that she did not ice the absence of her baby kicking inside her and a gurgling ache running down her spine. She did not even not ice Daniel approaching and untying her hands. She did not hear him speaking to her quickly. All she could feel was a sudden wave of pain shooting through her back and abdomen.A heart-rending scream ripped from her mouth as her body gave in, resisting the waves of pain through her body. For a moment, the room was blank for her; the only sound she could hear was her racing heartbeat. She knew she was going to hit the floor at any moment, but two arm

    One, he was already injured, and two, he wanted to drain Elijah of his energy and deplete him before striking him with his blow. He quickly took two steps back creating a safe distance between them that only pissed off the latter. The normally calm Elijah was overshadowed by jealousy seeing something in Allora's eyes for Mason that he was desperately trying for himself, love and concern. He threw two consecutive punches, which Mason easily dodged, before Elijah turned to land a hook to his throat, only for him to duck in time."You can not force love on people, Elijah. Even if I was not there, you still wouldn't be able to win her heart," Mason muttered, earning a snarl from Elijah.The angrier he gets, the more he uses up his energy. Exhausting him and then attacking him was his strategy. With everything that had happened so far, he realized that Elijah was a calculating and controlled person, and now, his rage was blinding his senses."Even if I die, she will still be called Mrs. M

    “You know I would have liked you if you weren't a part of Allora's life,” Elijah said genuinely and the look in his eyes supported his words.“The feeling is mutual Mr. Johnson. If you weren't the reason for her pain.""Since this will be your last moment, I will ignore all your futile attempts to provoke me," Elijah replied. He made him stop in front of a door and encouraged him to open it. The first sight Mason caught was the glimpse of Allora's face that was unusually red. When he got closer, he not iced that they were handprints. He growled and glared at Elijah.“How dare you slap her?” he screamed and did not care if he got shot. He marched toward it, but stopped in the lane when he saw Elijah pointed at Allora.Allora, who until now had thought she would hallucinate when she saw Mason, opened her eyes in disbelief. She whispered his name, which caught both their attention."Allora", he waited 3 months to see his wife, call her, but never in his nightmare did he expect to find

    "Let me go," she started to struggle to get out of the jeep, but Mason's grip on her wrist was strong. The next moment, Ronam started the jeep and drove towards the same forest.During the entire journey, Zara Helena pretended she did not know anything and was again playing the victim card. She tried several times to convince him and yelled at him to let her go. It was only when Mason threatened her with a knife that she blanched. Her breath hitched when she saw them enter the forest.“Did you like the place?” Mason asked her as the jeep pulled up to the edge of the woods.“Why did you bring me here?” she asked in response.“You know the answer to that Zara Helena, do not you?” he stared at her in disgust."I-," she wanted to deny it, but Mason cut her off, "You still want to deny it.Mommy is awake," that sentence was enough to take her breath away."And," he continued, "Dan told me about the divorce too.""Please believe me.
