Story: Twice Betrayed
I had intended to leave on our wedding day to humiliate Mason, the nouveau riche of Marinegate City.
But now I felt that if I didn’t leave right away, I’d be ridiculed by the entire city the next day.
By the time I finished packing, it was 8:00 p.m., and Mason hadn’t returned home.
My fiancé was at the hospital with another woman the night before our wedding, leaving me alone in an empty house.
After booking my flight, I closed the door and left without looking back. I had a flight scheduled for 3:00 a.m. and was waiting at the airport.
During this time, I did not receive a single text message or phone call from Mason, but I did receive several texts from Camilla, who sent photos of Mason, exhausted and barely able to keep his eyes open, watching over her IV drip. “Mason is really going out of his way. Tessa, you’ll be delighted in the future to marry such a caring man.”
She then sent me a dark video clip, but the conversation in it made me feel completely cold.
“Mason, you don’t have to look after me.” Go home quickly. You are the groom tomorrow. You should look your best.”
In the video, Mason was busy with something, making rustling sounds. “It’s fine. You do not want Jasper to come, so I will stay with you. I will not leave you alone here.
“As for the wedding, we’ll see; I’ll be late tomorrow to teach Tessa a lesson!”
“I finished washing. Allow me to hang it up for you.
Camilla quickly sent a message explaining how Mason helped her wash her blood-stained pants. Don’t mind, Tessa. I recently had a miscarriage and cannot really come into contact with cold water. You understand, correct?”
I couldn’t be bothered to expose her hypocrisy and didn’t respond.
Fortunately, boarding time arrived, so I removed my SIM card, tossed it in the trash, and boarded the plane.
Looking at the clouds at 3 a.m., I realised I was leaving this place completely.
Mason was awakened at 5:00 a.m. by the makeup artist’s call, and before responding, he carefully examined Camilla’s condition.
He stepped outside to take the call after noticing her sleeping peacefully.
“What’s the matter?””
“Mr. Reid, nobody is answering the doorbell. Perhaps you could talk to the bride?”
Mason rubbed his temple in frustration and hung up before dialling my phone number.
The words of reproach for my inconsiderate behaviour were on the tip of his tongue, and he snapped right after a single ring: “What kind of tantrum are you throwing? The makeup artist has arrived; open the door!”
”
A moment later, Mason realised what he was hearing: a mechanical, cold female voice telling the caller that the number was no longer in service.
Mason immediately decided that I was just being difficult, so he called the makeup artist back and said, “I apologise for the inconvenience, but please return to the studio. Don’t be concerned with her.”
