Mason sat there quietly. His expression was darker than the gloomy cell. After that, he said softly, “Forget about it!”He knew just how stubborn Noah could be. If he had decided to give up his right to appeal to the court, then he wasn’t about to change his mind. It wasn’t so much that he didn’t want the freedom as it was about him not wanting to owe Mason a favor. He was trying to protect his sister.At that moment, Mason finally realized it was too late for him to salvage the relationship.The entire Sanders family wanted nothing to do with him. In the end, he took the overnight flight back to Brookesville. It was seven o’clock by the time he made it back to the manor. The black Rolls-Royce drove past the carved metal gate and pulled into the manor.Luke said softly, “Ms. Mia is here, Mr. Mason.”Mason had been resting his eyes from traveling to so many places in a single night, but he opened the car door the moment he heard what Luke said. He greeted her. “Hi, Mia.”It w

Mason wanted to hold her, but she wouldn’t let him near her. She said softly, “Don’t come any closer, Mason! Stay where you are!” It sounded like she was at her wit’s end.He didn’t even realize that Zoe succumbed to postpartum depression. Her family was torn apart and she had no loved ones at her side, so she didn’t even have anyone to confide in. To make things worse, he kept her here against her will and insisted that he was making it up to her, not realizing the irony of his actions!It was a mess in the bedroom and it felt suffocating in there.Both of them used to have sweet, endearing moments, but this was where they were now.Mason continued to keep her in the manor against her will. Mia didn’t know what else to do. Ella tried a lot of ways. She had used every method imaginable to try to spring Zoe out, but she couldn't even meet up with her.That was when she finally realized just how powerful Mason actually was!…Zoe was still trapped in the manor and she continue

Ella knew they were going to meet up and she prepared a lot of stuff for Zoe and her baby. Onesies and toys for the baby and supplements for Zoe. She stuffed all of them in her car. She thought about what she wanted to say too, but she broke down crying the moment she saw her friend. Zoe looked so miserable and sickly! She was very scrawny. Her chin was still defined, but there was a sickly air about her. Zoe looked nothing like a lady who had just given birth to a child. All her other friends who delivered a baby were brimming with energy and livelihood. It was such a heartbreaking sight. She touched Zoe and asked with a trembling voice, “What is he doing to you? Why are you this thin? Did you go to the doctor?”It had been a long time since Zoe last saw Ella. Her eyes were filled with tears as well, but she chose to speaking lightly to her friend, instead of telling the truth. “I haven't had much of an appetite lately. There’s nothing to worry about here!”Was Ella supposed t

Half an hour later, the black Land Rover pulled into Lockwood Hospital.Zoe never thought she’d bump into someone she knew when she got out of the car. It was Lilith’s parents, but they didn’t come alone. There was a girl who was younger than their daughter. She was pretty and looked pure as well as innocent. Her eyes sparkled too. In all honesty, she was better looking than Lilith was.That lady was staring right at Mason now.Carly must’ve gotten her for Mason, Zoe thought to herself. This explained why they were back in Brooksville. She didn’t mind, though. Lowering her gaze, she smiled faintly and brushed past them, walking straight to the outpatient department with Deborah in tow.Mason outright ignored them the way he would strangers. Closing the car door, he was about to leave when Eira spoke softly, “Is that Ms. Zoe?”She had seen Zoe’s pictures and knew she was delicate and graceful. Having seen Zoe personally had shocked her deeply. Eira used to think that Mason an

Zoe was shocked when she woke up. Her lips were slightly opened and she was panting lightly, as if she was still flooded with the tantalizing pleasure she felt earlier. There was an air of feminine charm about her with a hint of pure innocence.Then, she buried her face into the pillows. She didn’t want to face Mason and she certainly didn’t want to think about the orgasm she just had. She was weighed down with intense guilt!Turning her face to him, he leaned over and kissed her. Then, he asked, “Do you want to go again?” He very much wanted to do it. He could feel his blood pumping through his veins and was ready for another round. She responded softly, “I don’t want to do it again.”However, he seemingly didn’t hear it. He was so racked with lust that all he cared about was seeking pleasure from her body. There was no way he heard her in his manic state.It was pleasurable for him. So, he assumed it was the same for her.The next thing she knew, he was thrusting into he
