Master of his heart (Max and Brielle)
Chapter 1430

After attending Brielle's wedding, Tiffanie felt a bit lost as she made her way back home. Watching Brielle glide down the aisle in her stunning white dress, it was as if clouds from the heavens had wrapped around her, and Tiffanie couldn't shake the feeling that she didn't quite belong in such purity.

The car ride was unusually quiet for Tiffanie. The bold spirit she used to flaunt, with arms covered in temporary tattoos, seemed a distant memory. Now, she was just quietly heading home, trying to find her footing in a world that felt different.

Mason, sitting next to her, noticed her unease. Trying to lift her spirits, he reached into the glove compartment and pulled out a dried flower. "I made this," he said with a soft smile.

Tiffanie blinked in surprise, not quite sure why Mason had decided to craft a dried flower, though it was indeed lovely. "Remember when Maxie proposed? He talked about sharing happiness. Well, now it's our turn."

Mason knew Tiffanie was a bit envious of Brielle, though he couldn't quite figure out why. Brielle's journey with Max hadn't been easy, full of its own challenges.

Tiffanie's fingers trembled slightly as she accepted the dried flower. Before Mason could say more, a sudden video call from his job at Unicorn pulled him away, needing his attention upstairs for a couple of hours. He suggested Tiffanie relax and watch some TV in the living room. She nodded and settled in, trying to find some peace.

But peace didn't last long. About half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Another delivery-packages had been arriving frequently as they decorated their new place.

This package, though, was different.

Inside was a small USB drive. Curious, Tiffanie plugged it into her laptop, and what she saw froze her in her tracks. A video of Victoria, a ghost from her past, surfaced, showing a younger Tiffanie being mistreated.

The video, captured by Victoria herself, showed Tiffanie in a state of helplessness, while Victoria tried to curry favor with Everett, who remained indifferent to her attempts.

The twisted nature of their

relationship left Tiffanie bewildered. Watching the video, she longed to reach through the screen and rescue that younger version of herself yet even now, she felt powerless

settled, it had finally reached her.

In a rush of panic, Tiffanie grabbed her keys, feeling an urgent need to escape. The video had reopened old wounds, making her feel like her recent strides in therapy were for nothing.

Without even slipping on shoes, she dashed out, tossing her laptop into the trash can by the door, desperate to shed the weight of her past and its lingering shadows.
