"Unbelievable, I think you stole my friend. It was always me who brought her magical hangover remedies," Mason says, crossing his arms as if nothing had happened last night."Well, you see, I'm adorable. It was impossible for it not to happen," I reply, lying back down."You have to sleep for that hour for it to take effect. Actually, I think I'll do the same. I still feel sleepy. I'm sorry for lying on top of you like Sarah said. She's not aware of what she's saying," Mason says, blushing, as he lies down next to me, both of us staring at the ceiling of the room."Don't worry, it's fine," I reply, closing my eyes.I try to find a comfortable position to sleep, but nothing seems to work. I turn around and face away from Mason. I hear him say something that I don't quite understand until I feel his fingers in my hair."This usually relaxes a lot," he says, moving his fingers through my hair, causing me to involuntarily moan from how good it feels."I'm sorry," I say with a tired voice

P.O.V Mason It's been 8 months since I've been married, eight months without real sex, can you imagine what that's like for someone sexually active? You may wonder what I mean by real sex, I will explain, but not in detail, I have been maintaining my communication with Peyton, at least by phone or video call. That is if we only talk when I'm in the office, nothing at home. I respect Paige, even if it's hard for them to understand me, because if we don't just talk, we also have our sex talks, more than talks I would say. It is impossible to do nothing no matter how much I try to be 100 percent faithful, I think I have been a good husband, because I have not seen any woman. She is a witness to that, as my conversations with Peyton no one knows.I feel connected to her, I am sure she is the woman I always wanted, but never looked for. Peyton is my other half, she understands me, since she knows all about the contract, she agrees to wait for me and love me from a distance while these thr

POINT OF VIEW Paige:Since I saw that email, I have never been the same, Mason let me know that he had a complication with work and would be staying for two days. Needless to say, I didn't believe anything he said. He's staying with Peyton, while I stay home alone working out. I'm getting tired of this being so good, I need to release stress too, so she made the decision to go out tonight, but alone.I call Emily and ask her to stay with Simba, she doesn't even ask because she just says yes, so I love her. She agrees to come for him in half an hour and I thank her.When she takes him away, she tells me to enjoy my time without baby, I laugh at her words and see her off at the door. When I'm alone I go straight to take a bath, but one of those relaxing bathtubs that last a long time. Well not so much, I'm terrible at taking showers or baths in cold water, the hotter the better for me.After the beloved bath I get ready to leave. I haven't heard from Mason since the morning when he told

P.O.V Paige´sAs I say those words to him, I see the guilt in his eyes, which I honestly don't care about right now. The truth is I don't feel ml for having had a night of sex with a stranger, on the contrary, I feel great, liberated, de-stressed and now that I told Mason that I knew he was lying to me all the better.I wait for him to say something, but he doesn't, he just keeps silent and watches me, that bothers me. I don't know what he expects just by looking at me, for me to say."It's okay that you reneged on the deal, is ok no problem."I remain silent until he speaks first. I have nothing more to say. I made it clear to him that the friendship we could have had is no longer possible because of his lies."I truly am sorry. I didn't plan for it to happen like this," he begins to say."How long have you been with her?" I ask, seriousness in my tone.I notice his expression change to one of guilt as he doesn't know how to answer. I shake my head and don't let him respond."You kno

One year later... Paige narrates:We have been married for two years now, the trust from the beginning never regained, I must admit he has made merits to earn it, however, I don't feel ready to be anything more than a contract partner, overall we have only a year left married, and this circus is over.My friendship with the girls and Ethan has only grown over time. Ethan has tried to talk to me about something that he "notices strange" between Mason and I, so when we are with them, I pretend that everything is fine, I have even become more affectionate than before to pretend well that we are having a great marriage.In this last year, I have had one or two affairs, which always remain just that, Mason hasn't traveled, not because he doesn't allow it, he says he won't do it unless it's with me, supposedly to gain my trust. Since I am studying, I can't afford to travel every time I want, on the contrary, I avoid missing classes.I only have the internship left to receive my degree, whi
