Billionaire's Abused Wife 271. Public exposure
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.

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

The evening was set for the Vento University Student Association's grand party, inviting all graduates. The venue sparkled with vibrant lights and pulsating music, creating an electric atmosphere. Graduates reunited, enjoying the chance to meet old friends, laughter echoing as they shared tales, clinked glasses, and recollected about college days. Joy and harmony filled the air, an evening where cherished memories were restored amid the delightful ambience.As Jay stood among his friends, his gaze subtly shifted towards Jemma, who was engrossed in conversation with her friends.

Jay realized his possessive behaviour and said, "I'm sorry. Let's eat." Jemma felt a sudden dizziness, pressing the space between her eyes. "Are you fine?" Jay asked. "Feeling dizzy," she responded. Jay motioned to the waiter and got her a drink. "Have this. It might help." They ate and drank in the garden, away from the party's commotion and crowds. Jemma's dizziness increased. Attempting to stand, she felt woozy. Jay offered help. "Are you alright?" "Yeah, I should go…" Jemma attempted to stand. Jay suggested, "Stay here. I'll get more drinks for you." He left, leaving Jemma feeling uneasy and wanting to leave. She unsteadily made her way toward the exit. Just as she reached the elevator, Ben appeared. "Ben!" Jemma slurred. "You broke up with Jay, so why are you acting all sweet with him now?" Ben taunted. "Let me go," she pleaded. "Talk sweetly to me too. Let me put my hands on your shoulders," he jeered. As he tried to grab her, she pushed him away, "What are you do

Jemma rubbed her temples as she woke up, feeling confused about her surroundings. Nisha walked in holding a glass of lemonade and placed it on the bedside table. "Morning, Miss." Jemma groaned, "How did I end up here?" "Last night, Young Master carried you on his shoulder." "Jimmy?" "Yeah, Ma'am saw and freaked out. He put you in bed and dashed off without changing his shirt." "Shirt?" "You had puked on him!" Jemma, still fuzzy about the details of the previous night, closed her eyes, trying to recollect. "Have the lemonade Ma'am sent for you. Then get ready. Breakfast's waiting. Jia's super stoked knowing you're here." "Okay," Jemma murmured. When Jemma entered the dining hall, she found everyone already seated. She gave hesitant greetings to Sara and Yohan, then received a warm hug from Jia. "You're finally here! I've been begging you to visit me," Jia complained playfully. "Jia, let her eat first. She just arrived," Sara interjected, serving breakfast onto Jemma's plate

"How... How is that possible? I remember, we chatted the morning I got attacked. You were the one telling me the baby was all healthy. What the hell happened?" "Maybe it's just my rotten luck, Jemma. But seeing you with Sunny, I can't help but be grateful you made it through and had a healthy baby." "Oh, Jia..." Jemma enveloped her in a tight hug, both women clinging to each other as tears flowed freely. Meanwhile, Noah reached the October Villa. As he approached, Yohan shot him a glare colder than a snowstorm. "Dad... Mom..." Noah greeted them, his eyes darting around to gauge the situation. Sunny was playing with Yohan. Noah swallowed hard, sensing trouble. "How can you be so careless, Jimmy? Why'd you let Jemma come here alone at this hour? You know the danger's not over yet," Sara scolded, her tone edged with worry. "Mom, I didn't want her to come, but she insisted..." "You're avoiding the situation, Jimmy. You can't change the past, but you shouldn't be dodging what's happ

"Jimmy, it's been days. I want to see her and the baby. What's the big deal?"He sighed, "I promise, we'll go later. I just need to sort some things out first."Jemma, growing more anxious, insisted, "But I've been waiting, Jimmy. I can't wait any longer. What's going on?"Noah, worried about her mental state, softened his tone, "Listen, babe. Trust me, I'll take you to see Jia, okay? I don't want to rush into things."Jemma, feeling a pang of doubt, couldn't hold back, "Are you hiding something from me? Why won't you just take me?""No, Jemma, it's not like that.""Jimmy..." her eyes turned tearful."Okay. I'll take you out to dinner tonight, at October Villa. Jia's staying there, and we can see her afterward. Deal?"Jemma hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay, dinner it is.

Emotions surged within him, and he quietly closed the door, not wanting to disturb their tender moment.Sinking into the living room couch, Noah leaned back with a heavy sigh. Guilt and regret enveloped him as he grappled with the reality of their situation. Conflicting emotions swirled as he recognised the joy in Jemma's happiness but couldn't shake the haunting feeling that everything was amiss.Jemma placed Sunny in the cot and, on her way to the kitchen for water, found Noah sitting in the dimly lit living room, a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whisky in the other.

The next morning dawned, casting a feeble light across the hospital room. The oxygen mask, a constant companion in her struggle for breath, had been removed, leaving her vulnerable in the stark hospital room.As Jemma slowly opened her eyes, the sterile scent of the hospital greeted her senses. Her gaze fell on Noah, sitting at the edge of the bed, his face etched with a mixture of exhaustion and sorrow. Desperation flickered in her eyes, and as she tried to speak, her voice emerged as a raspy whisper, "Jimmy... where's our baby?"Noah's heart clenched at the question, the weight of the unspoken truth hanging heavily in the air. He hesitated, avoiding her gaze, and gently urged, "Jemma, just take it easy. You need to rest."But Jemma, fueled by a mother's instinct and the gnawing fear that something was amiss, persisted, "Jimmy, please, where's our baby? Why won't you tell me?"His throat tightened with the burden of the truth he wasn't ready to share. Trying to divert her attention,

Yohan looked straight into her eyes, "Your mother didn't make a mistake giving birth to you and your brother. Being a mother ain't a mistake. The real mistake is not being able to bring a child into the world. And you didn't make a mistake wanting to bring life into this world."Jia lowered her head, tears welling up."He's a good guy.
