Carina POV
Exhausted, I sit on my bed, staring at the suitcases. I spent the night packing my belongings and did not sleep at all. Fortunately, it is Saturday and I do not have to go to work.
I did not foresee this when I agreed to marry Mason. I planned to be the best wife and make him fall in love with me. Even after he rejected me on our wedding night, I convinced myself to be patient and I will succeed. Leave it up to Cybil to break my spirits on my very first day in this house.
Still, I stayed and tried. If Erica did not return, I could have convinced myself I was finally making a breakthrough. It cannot be a coincidence that Mason has been paying me attention since she returned. Maybe he wants to punish Erica for leaving and is using me to do it. Or does he want her to crawl back?
