The neon lights were lit brightly in Hucksburgh. Both of them stood in the bustling streets. They were a couple, but there wasn’t a shred of intimacy between them. Mason was still hearing what she said in the concert hall.“However, my music career had reached the end of the line due to the injury I sustained in my left arm. For that matter, our marriage reached the end of the line as well. “With that said, I will still love someone if he’s worthy of me. I’ll pursue my other passions as well!”He gulped at the thought of it. She was saying that she would eventually fall in love with another man!Zoe took a step back and said softly while staring at him, “I need a moment with myself. Stop following me. Don’t ask anyone to tail me, either. I’m sick of you asking someone to stalk me, Mason!”Strong winds blew past them, tousling his hair. The glow from the neon lights shone on him, adding a layer of maturity to his brows.Then, it hit him. They were actually a very young couple

After returning to Brookesville, she bought an apartment that was over a thousand two hundred square feet for Gordon and Mia with the money she got from selling the manor. It wasn’t as extravagant a place as what Mason provided them, but it was comfortable enough.Mia felt uneasy. Pulling Zoe aside, she asked, “You spent all of your money to buy this apartment. What happens if you need more funds for Noah’s case or if you’re in an emergency?”Zoe assured her that there was nothing to worry about.Taking a share certificate out of the drawer, Zoe showed it to her and said, “I own two percent of the Lockwood Corporation’s shares. The dividends alone are worth three hundred million dollars! With this, I won’t ever have to worry about money.”That did nothing to make her feel better, though. She had dealt with Mason on several occasions and she figured she knew a thing or two about him. It had never been easy to take his money, much less the dividends!Zoe noticed Mia wasn’t feeling c

It was suffocating in the apartment, but it wasn’t because it was cramped.Why, he stayed in this place not that long ago. They slept on the couch together in this warm, cozy apartment. She was quite reliant on him back then. Naturally, they were quite sweet to each other.All of that ceased the moment the trust between them was torn down. Now, they could never go back to the way things were. For that matter, she finally said what he dreaded all along.“I can’t wait to be in love with another man!”He took a step back and leaned on the wall as he stared at her. The fluorescent light shone on her, giving her fair skin a charming radiance. She tugged her shirt and straightened it up to cover herself. After a long pause, she said, “I’m serious when I say I want to divorce you, Mason. Don’t you have a big project to work on? Isn’t it true that a lot of shareholders are against you? Well, that makes my two percent share all the more important now!”His eyes grew dark.She looked a

Zoe received Mason’s call in the middle of the night. It was raining heavily outside and his voice was muffled, “Come over to the manor at four o’clock in the afternoon tomorrow. We’ll talk about the divorce.”She was startled. She knew she had him where she wanted him and how he was going to react, but she didn’t think it’d be this smooth. He was agreeing to the idea of a divorce that easily.Various emotions washed over her and stunned her for a good while. She came to her senses eventually and said, “Let’s talk about it in the law firm!”However, he was adamant about it. “I don’t want a third person to come between us. Come back to the manor, Zoe. Otherwise, we’re done!”Lowering her gaze, she said lightly, “Someone already came between us. That’s the problem! It’s pointless to argue with you, Mason. If you want to have the talk at your manor, then we’ll do it that way. I’ll be there on time.”With that, she hung up the phone. The rain continued to pour as she stared out the

Zoe ran into Ava on her way down the stairs. Mason’s secretary was sitting on the couch in the living room with a wearied look on her face. She probably had been waiting here for a long time.The moment she saw Zoe, she rose and greeted her, “Ms. Zoe.”Zoe stopped in her tracks and said softly, “I’ve just signed the divorce agreement with Mason. So, know this. I’m not his wife anymore.”What a shame, Ava thought.She hesitated for a short while and decided to say something after all, “Mr. Mason cared a lot about you, actually/ He had never slept with Lilith in all the time he knew her. Perhaps you should reconsider it, Zoe! It wasn’t easy to get to where you guys are today.”Lowering her head, Zoe looked at her left arm and murmured, “Exactly! It wasn’t easy for me to be where I am today and he ruined everything for me!”Ava was a little disheartened upon hearing that. On the other hand, Zoe had walked out of the manor. She was determined to leave. As she said, she didn’t want
