Liam thought Zoe would be resentful.
Instead, she was far more calmer than he had expected! He couldn’t imagine how many times she must’ve been hurt for her to be able to remain calm in the face of such unfair treatment.
Zoe went back to her rented apartment to take her stuff, only to find Mason blocking her at the door. He looked grim as he occupied the space between her and the door, holding her good arm lightly.
She couldn’t shake him off. Refusing to look at him, she turned her head to the side, “You’re hurting me, Mason!”
Pinching her chin, he made her look at him and leaned in. Their faces. were so close to each other that his breath lingered on her cheeks.
Reaching out, he touched her tender cheeks gently and spoke in a husky voice, “Does it hurt you? Here I am, thinking you’re above such a thing! Do you want to tell me where you went earlier?”
She responded with quivering lips, “Are you still stalking me? You’re such a bastard, Mason.”
He didn’t deny it.
At that moment, the neighbor living across the hallway opened her door and forced a smile, “Is this your boyfriend, Zoe? How handsome!”
She didn’t intend to embarrass herself in front of outsiders. So, she brushed her hair to the back and said, “Let’s talk inside!”
Releasing her gently, he walked into her apartment as soon as she unlocked the door. The moment she stepped in, he held her

shoulders, lowered his head, and kissed her. He bit hard on her soft lips as if taking out his resentment on her.
She didn’t fight back because she couldn’t, but she didn’t return his kiss either. Throughout the entire process, she remained cold and
distant.
At the end of the day, it was dull if he was the only one who was passionate in the kiss. So, he released her soon and stared at her intensely, “Did you meet Liam?”
Instead of beating around the bush, she admitted it and showed him the divorce agreement.
“All I want is the two percent share of Lockwood Corporation! We’ll part on good terms if you agree to it now. If, on the other hand, you want to take it to the court, then I must tell you that Liam will be
representing me. I’m sure you know I’ll get more than that if he’s on my side.”
Mason read through the agreement It was hard to read what he was thinking when he raised his eyes and snorted, “Liam’s a ruthless lawyer, Zoe. Why’s he taking your case for free?”
All of a sudden, he carried her and put her down on the cabinet by the door. Touching her soft lips gently, he whispered menacingly, “He’s in love with you!”
How pathetic, she thought.
Her chest rose as she took in a breath and said in a disappointed and infuriated tone, “This is how you are all the time! You always get it into your own head that every man who talks to me wants me. Then, you’d go on to tighten your leash on me and put me through more pain to make sure I won’t cheat on you! This is not the life I wanted, Mason…”
His eyes grew hard at that. His voice, on the other hand, sounded

With trembling lips, she uttered, “Yes

She spoke spidly. There was a lot to unpack with what she said
His eyes turned red with fogy. He moved in to kiss her and unbutton her shirt He’d rip it off if he couldn’t unbutton them. He acted like a possessed man and he was about to rip her clothes off and have sex
That way, one wouldn’t find another man and fall in love with them.
At that moment, she slapped him right across the face
That brought Mason back to his senses. Looking at her trembling body, he asked softly. “Why did you file me up?”
I Refuse to Divorce!
