Jemma couldn't sleep the entire night after Noah's threat. The next morning, she got ready for work and left home. As she was heading out, she read the news that someone had entered Jay's ICU room and removed his oxygen mask, attempting to kill him. Fortunately, the nurse checked on Jay every two hours, and when she arrived, Jay was struggling to breathe. The nurse immediately called the doctor, and the situation was brought under control. Jemma felt scared and worried. She thought the incident might be linked to Noah's warning, making her tense that Noah might attempt to harm Jay. A few days later, Jay finally woke up from his long coma. Jemma took a break from work and rushed to the hospital to visit him. Upon entering the room, she saw Jay lying in bed, engaged in a conversation with a nurse, wearing a warm smile. Tears welled up in her eyes, causing her to hesitate at the doorway. Jay noticed her and gently called out her name."Hey, Jemma... You're here."Jemma bit her lip, fee
"Let go of me, Jay."Ignoring her plea, Jay nestled his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply. "Did you really sleep with him?"Jemma felt a pang of guilt as Noah's words echoed."Let go, Jay," she repeated, trying to free herself from his grip.But Jay continued, "No...""Please, Jay," Jemma's resistance grew stronger. However, in a sudden burst of frustration, Jay forcefully pushed her against the wall."Why?" His voice cracked with anger.Jemma tensed up as Jay's grip tightened on her shoulders."Who is he? You let him get close to you. You slept with him. I was your damn boyfriend. We were engaged. You never even gave me a kiss," Jay's voice was filled with hurt and frustration.Jemma attempted to break free, but Jay pushed her against the wall once more."I'm not done talking," he said firmly."Stop it, Jay. We're not together anymore.""That's what I'm trying to understand. We were together for years, and I couldn't even touch you. Why did he get to sleep with you the
Jemma lay still on the bed for some time, making sure he had truly left. When she heard the beeping sound of the apartment door locking, she breathed a sigh of relief. Hurriedly, she went to lock the bedroom door from the inside. Turning on the lights, she glanced around the room. Her eyes landed on a T-shirt and pyjamas that belonged to Noah. Putting on his clothes seemed a much better option than being naked, so she quickly got dressed and then lay back on the bed, feeling weak and drained. She reached for her mobile phone and checked the notifications flooding in. The internet was filled with news about her and Jay. Just then, a notification popped up on her phone. It was a text message from Noah. "Turn off the lights. Put the phone away and get some sleep."Jemma's eyes widened in surprise. He wasn't in the apartment, so how did he know what she was up to?Angrily, she replied, "Are you spying on me? Do you have cameras in your bedroom?""I can see the light from downstairs. And
Jemma was getting ready to leave as she finished her work when Jay suddenly barged into her office. His face showed a mix of sadness and anger. Slowly, Jemma stood up, seeing him."I couldn't believe him when he said he slept with you. I kept asking you why we broke up. And now I see, you betrayed me," Jay uttered, his voice filled with hurt.Jemma gripped her phone tightly, understanding why he was reacting this way. He took a step closer, his expression pained. "I was actually coming to apologize for what I did yesterday. I felt so happy thinking you cared for me, fooling myself into believing you still had feelings for me. But you were never really into me."Jay's accusation hit Jemma hard, leaving her speechless and dazzled with a sense of guilt and sorrow.She couldn't bear the weight of his accusations."Jay...""No! You listen to me," Jay interrupted."If you were over me, why did you keep pretending? Why string me along until our wedding? You should've said no to my proposal.
“Dad didn't even say a word. He just went straight into his room and never came out. Sa Mom was crying a lot. She said Dad has become really quiet. He doesn't talk to anyone and stays locked in his room all the time. Mom has to be with him all the time because sometimes he feels dizzy and has these episodes from his bipolar disorder."Noah became cold."After you left, Jemma and I also left the villa. I used to be mad at him before, but seeing him like this makes me feel terrible. Mom mentioned that when he's alone, he spends hours in your room looking at your childhood photos and your medals. Everyone at school says he won't live much longer because of the mess you've caused to his company and he's all stressed out. I'm scared, brother. Please don't be mad at Dad. He loves you so much. If you ruin him, how will I, Sa Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma cope?"Noah felt a wave of emotions listening to Jia. It touched his heart knowing Yohan missed him despite the rough situation between them. G
As soon as Sara stepped out of the master bedroom, Nisha hurried to inform her, "Mr. Jenkins is here." Sara squinted in confusion, "Ryan... unexpectedly, without a heads-up..." Entering the living room, Sara spotted Ryan standing near the couch with his back turned to her. "Ryan..." Ryan turned around, "Hey, Sara." "You're back from abroad!" "Yeah, got in this morning." "Did you have lunch?" "Will head home and have lunch with Jemma. Promised her that." "It's Sunday. She's probably enjoying her day off." "How's Yohan?" "Oh! Yohan... he's slowly recovering. He's just sleeping." "Better. I wanted to talk to you, that's why I'm here." "Me?" Ryan nodded with a hint of sadness, "Sara, about a week ago, some photos gone viral on the internet about Noah and Jemma. Found out when I got back today. Is it true there's something between them?" Sara's expression turned serious, "Have you spoken to Jemma about it?" "I know my daughter, Sara. Since breaking up with Jay, she's been ver
Sara cautiously pushed open the door to Noah's bedroom, peering in with Noah by her side. Yohan stood facing the wall where Noah's pictures, medals, and certificates hung in frames. Noah felt a pang of sadness and guilt as he observed Yohan's figure, noticing that he had lost weight. "Yohan stays here like this every day after dinner. He won't move until I call him to bed," Sara murmured softly. Noah walked into the room and halted behind Yohan. As Yohan glimpsed his reflection in the photos, his face suddenly brightened. He turned around, but upon seeing Noah standing in front of him, he froze, as if his mind was struggling to sense whether it was a hallucination or a real encounter.Noah stood in awe as he laid eyes on Yohan. The sight of him stunned Noah to his core. Yohan's face had transformed significantly; the once vibrant aura around him had waned. His complexion was pallid, and the spark in his eyes had diminished. He appeared gaunt, visibly thinner than before, and there wa

She looked glamorous in her elegant black dress, her charm shining effortlessly across the room. Jay couldn't help but admire her grace and beauty from a distance, a soft smile forming on his lips as he watched her amidst the crowd. Jemma appeared stunning in her tempting black backless dress. The mid-rise waistline complemented her figure beautifully, highlighting her slender outline. The dress, with its grace
