Chapter 19 

They had been married for three years. Mason knew how to turn her on, make her feel aroused, and make her bend over irresistibly. Both of them were entwined with each other in the darkness. They received education in privileged schools since they were young. Zoe was a by–the–numbers lady of a wealthy and prestigious family. Mason was extremely picky about the location where he had sex with a lady. 

However, he did not give a damn about it now. He wanted to see her having a meltdown right. there. He wanted her to cry in his embrace and call out to him in a feeble and hoarse voice. Zoe was on the brink of collapse. “You’re wrong! That’s not true!” 

Her voice was husky and trembling, but it only served to incite the man before her. Mason suppressed her every single time she struggled and continued to treat her rougher, He even whispered nastily in her ear, “Do you know who he is?” 

“Don’t you think he’s somewhat similar to me? What’s the matter? Are you trying to find someone to replace me?” 

He knew her body too well and he was particularly skillful in this department. Zoe sobbed softly. He pressed his face against her hair, fixed his gaze on her, and uttered coldly, “Does it feel good?” 

Zoe leaned on his shoulder, her tender skin looked especially fair against his black shirt. She 

could feel her body clinging to the after effects of the pleasure, but her mind had never been 

clearer. 

She was sure there was bad blood between Mason and Cecil. She did not bother to guess what 

went down. Zoe’s hands were full handling Mason’s anger. 

She did not make a sound for a long time. Mason glared at her and snorted. He came from a wealthy and prestigious family, after all. Naturally, he was going to be picky about the location. He had no intention of staying any longer on this worn–down staircase. 

Somewhat satisfied for the moment, he carried her into an alley where he parked his black Bentley, which stood out like s sore thumb in the rundown alley. He switched on the air conditioner, tossed some tissue papers her way, and glared at her as she tidied herself up. 

Truth be told, he was in no place to judge her. He had not sated his lust ever since Zoe wanted to divorce him. He got the urge to have sex with her when he saw just how lewd she was, but she was not on the pill, and nor did he have a condom in his car. So, he pushed his urges down! 

Zoe came to her senses after she was done tidying up herself. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t that difficult to guess Mason’s thoughts. He was merely displeased that his wife, whom he had yet to divorce, was a tad too intimate with the other men. 

It had nothing to do with love. As for this ridiculous intimate moment they shared earlier, it was nothing but embarrassment for Zoe. She mocked him deliberately. “Are you jealous, Mason?” 

He reached out, caressed her cheeks gently, and sneered, “Don’t flatter yourself! I’m merely reminding you that you’re still my wife! So, stop hanging out with random guys.” 

Zoe’s smile widened. “But you can hang out with any girl you like. Is that how it works?” Mason’s deep stare hinted at an untold story. He actually did not care much about Lilith. Ava did most of the work for him. He merely dropped by and visited her occasionally if he had some business in Hucksburgh. 

With that said, he did not intend to explain himself to Zoe. There was no need for him to do it! He did not lose his cool today because he cared about her. Instead, it was because of Cecil. 

He shifted into a more comfortable position. Zoe, on the other hand, wanted to leave now. She barely moved when Mason pressed down on her hand, “Wait a minute!” Then, he took a cigarette out of its packet and lit it. Smoke started to fill his car. 

Mason tilted his head and glanced at her. Zoe knew the look. This was how he looked like when he talked about business. There was no emotion in his eyes. He finished smoking a cigarette and gave her a bank card. 

“This is my supplementary card. I’ll transfer two million dollars into this account every month. I’l ask Ava to give you more if it’s not enough.” 

Something stirred in her heart when she stared at the platinum bank card. Cards on the table, this was what she had wanted all along, for him to treat her kindly. 

She needed money badly ever since her family ran into that predicament. That was why she continued to take a hundred thousand dollars every month despite it making her feel small. 

However, she knew what it meant if she accepted this bank card now. She’d have to return to him and continue to be his wife. She would have to go back to her old life and take care of him meticulously. 

There was more. He would expect her to dress up the way he liked it, satisfy his every carnal need in bed, and attend various functions with him. All he needed was a beautiful and submissive wife. He had no use for her true self. That was what he wanted out of her! 

Zoe rejected his bank card. She gripped the door handle and said lightly, “It’s too late, Mason! Your 

still fail to understand why we can’t go on as a couple. 

It was dark in the car, so he turned on the dome light. It was quite blinding, so Zoe shut her eyes 

instinctively. 

Mason fondled the bank card and said mockingly. “Is it about love? Do you think it’s possible for us to love each other? You’d do well to remember how we got married in the first place Mason’s face turned cold. “That’ll teach you to lay your hands on something that doesn’t belong to your 

Zoe was done explaining herself. She was sick of it. “Do you belong to Lilith? If you care about her so much, then why haven’t you married her? 

“In fact, not every lady thinks virginity is a big deal. We did have sex back then, but I would’ve been fine with it if you didn’t want to marry me. Look at us now– Isn’t it better for us to get 

divorced?” 

She was sick of it. Really. Then, she said softly. “Both of us will be free!” With that she got out of the car and left. 

Mason did not try to stop her. He sat in his car with a blank face and turned off the dome light after a while. He caught sight of the crumpled tissue papers, soaked with Zoe’s arousal 

He cast his mind back to what happened earlier. Actually, Zoe had changed. Regardless of how good he made her feel, she would have cried for a long time if this had happened in the past. From what he saw earlier, however, it did not look like she cared at all. She left just like that! Mason leaned back and rubbed his brows. He was quite ambitious when it came to his career, so he did not handle his private life as well as other men did. 

He did not love Zoe, but she was pretty and submissive enough to be his wife. He did not care about other ladies enough to think about them. 

Now, he had a wife who would not come home and it was annoying the hell out of him.
