Late at night on the busy street, Mason and Bethan stood side by side on the sidewalk, watching the endless stream of traffic ahead.

Mason spotted a sleek black luxury car slowly approaching from the distance.

He asked Bethan, “Hugh’s refusing to divorce you despite all the pressure. Don’t you think part of him might actually don’t want to lose you?”

Bethan stared ahead, her eyes hollow and distant.

“He doesn’t care about losing me, Mason,” she said, her voice flat. “He just wants control. He wants to shape me into whatever suits him best.”

Mason glanced at her sideways.

He pressed, “You loved him for so many years. Are you sure you want to give up?”

Bethan said nothing, but nodded firmly. “I regret loving 1/9 him. I regret marrying him. I dream of divorcing him.

“Bethan, I know you’re hurting. Talk to me. Don’t keep everything bottled up,” he said gently.

Bethan turned to face Mason, her eyes red.

She forced a bitter smile. “Mason, I’ve always known there are good people and bad people in the world. But I never thought… I never thought the worst person to me would be the one I loved most.”

Mason’s heart ached for her, but feeling helpless, he could only sigh.

“I used to have eyes only for him,” Bethan continued. “I valued him so much that I completely forgot about myself. Now, looking back, in my marriage with Hugh, I didn’t even get basic respect. And somehow I still thought he’d be faithful to me. Isn’t that just… sad?”

Mason watched her, his brow creased with concern.

A bitter smile tugged at Bethan’s lips.

She said, “When we were together before, whenever I tried to be affectionate, he’d say I was clingy. When I ZoPupset and wanted him to comfort me, he’d call me 8:06

was being dramatic. I thought that was just how he was.”

Bethan paused. “But then I found out he’d been carrying a torch for his first love all along. That’s when I realized- it wasn’t his personality. It was just me.”

“When I heard him talk about how much he regretted not marrying Megan, how unfair it all was to him,” she continued, her voice shaking slightly, “I was terrified. I felt like I wasn’t good enough. I was so scared of losing him, losing our marriage. Every little complaint he made, I took it to heart. I changed everything about myself to make him happy.”

“Three years,” she went on. “Three years I smiled and laughed like everything was fine, but inside I was falling apart. I kept changing and changing until I didn’t even know who I was anymore. And it still wasn’t enough to keep him from going back to Megan.”

Mason’s chest tightened. He reached over and squeezed her shoulder, then pulled her close, letting her lean against him.

Bethan let her head rest on Mason’s shoulder and closed Rédeyes, completely drained.

“Mason, you know what?” she said. “Every time Hugh and I fought, he never responded. He punished me with coldness, silence, distance-emotional abuse. Every time I got upset, it was like punching a wall of cotton.”

Her voice cracked slightly. “He always told me I was too emotional. That I wasn’t calm enough, wasn’t rational, that I was overthinking. I didn’t get it at first. But after he hurt me over and over, I finally understood-he didn’t just not love me. He didn’t care about me at all. So even when he cheated and broke my heart, he still wouldn’t let me show any pain around him.”

Mason’s voice was full of sympathy as he tried to comfort her. “You’re only twenty-six. You can handle this loss.”

Bethan straightened up, smoothing her hair as she faced. the road. “Yes, now I’m happy to lose it.”

Hugh bought her jewelry only because she was Mrs. Cavill. He needed her to keep up appearances.

Hugh bought mansions for her parents and brother, giving them monthly allowances, only because he was the CEO of the Cavill Group and couldn’t let his in-laws Ambarrass him.

Every penny he spent on the Olsen family, on her, during their marriage-he calculated it all.

The thought of sharing a bed with such a man for three years filled Bethan with nothing but disgust.

Mason spoke gently. “Nobody saw things turning out this way between you and Hugh. Losing that baby-it was the most painful thing either of you ever went through.”

And it was a mistake Hugh could never undo.

The memory of that child made Bethan’s eyes well up.

She tilted her head back, fighting the tears, but they spilled down her cheeks anyway.

When she spoke again, there was a sob caught in her throat.

“Mason… do you know how badly I wanted a child?”

Bethan turned to look at Mason, revealing a bitter smile. More tears spilled from her eyes.

He lips quivered as she said, “For three years, Legged:06

everything. But he wouldn’t give me a child. Not once.” Her voice cracked. “But for Megan? For her ex’s kid? He’ll throw away everything.”

Mason gently pulled Bethan into his arms, patting her back soothingly. “Don’t think about the sad stuff anymore. If you want kids, that’s easy-we’ll find a guy with great genes and you can have as many as you want.”

“He’ll never know,” Bethan said through her tears. “He’ll never know how long I cried when I saw that positive test. How terrified I was on that operating table, completely alone.”

Mason’s jaw tightened. “He threw away his own child for someone else’s kid—a fake one at that. You have every right to hate him.”

She shook her head. “He’s not worth it. Not my anger, not my hate.”

Karma would handle him. All she had to do was walk

away.

In the black luxury car not far away, the window was only haft down.

with tears.

His mouth opened, but no sound came out.

Late at night, in a private room on the second floor of Regal Club.

When Mason found Hugh, he was already drunk.

Mason walked over and snatched the glass from Hugh’s hand. “You heard everything?”

Hugh’s brow was deeply furrowed, his empty hands slowly clenching into fists. His eyelids drooped, his throat working.

He pulled at the corner of his mouth, struggling to get the words out, “I’m the one who hurt her.”

Mason tried to reason with him patiently. “Hugh, Bethan gave you the best years of her life, and you destroyed hef.
