It's Mason

All the last four days of waiting and the last harrowing hour of e down and all I can do is wrap my arms around him and bury my face in his chest

His arhtly for what seems like forever

That's fine by h I never want hio

But eventually he does And he looks at me

"Your father is at one ofo see him whenever you like but he's asked if you wanted to take it slow, he's okay"

I nod Instead of rushing over to go see hi with Mason first

"He knew you were alive and had kept tabs on you but he never wanted to cause you any har Lorna," he says, looking over at her "Even though she said she never wanted you, at the time she made sure to make it clear that if he ever left her, she would keep you"

"She only must have done that to come out on top," I say slowly, as it dawns on me how incredibly fucked up

my life really was "To hurt him The final insult"

Mason nods his head "That's been her MO throughout her life Don't just take, but completely destroy," he says to ht, Lorna?"

She looks at Mason with blank and vacant eyes She's not used to losing so completely

"I hope you're happy, Mason," she says "You had to scorch the earth in order to beat me I'll be surprised if there is even a Kane Price left six months from now"

Mason lets go of my shoulders and steps away from me

"You've been trying to get your grubby little paws on this company ever since you caused your father's death," he says to her "And that stops today"
