Billionaire's Bet - My Brother's Teacher FREEDOM
"Cruz how did you…?" "As for Landon, I overheard part of your conversation with Leah but for the accident, I guessed right since I could tell from that day at the field that you were traumatized. Remember the story you told Cade that day? I knew it was filled with too many holes." Cruz replied thoughtfully. "You didn't love me back then yet you were attentive." Jessica mumbled but Cruz definitely heard her. "Credit goes to my brain, I'm smart, remember?" He joked and a sad chuckle escaped her lips. "Do you want to talk about it?" Cruz asked once again but Jessica immediately turned his back against him. She remained mute for several seconds before taking baby steps towards her bed. "Landon was a really cute guy I fell in love with at first sight. He was the hottest guy in school that year and we started off very beautifully. Wanna guess how he proposed to me?" She asked, turning abruptly towards Cruz with a sad smile on her face, a smile Cruz understood well. Cruz walked closer

Cruz's phone slipped out of his hand as he stared at Jessica in shock. "On a serious note, Cruz, what's going on with you?"You've been looking lost for a while." Jessica stated her observations as she walked past Cruz to the small table in her room where she dropped the food. "Was that an important call I shouldn't have interrupted?" She asked curiously. Relieved that Jessica didn't overhear his conversation, he immediately thought of a lie to tell. "Uhmm…Of course not. Something urgent came up at the hospital and I have to leave now." He replied as he hurriedly picked up his phone from the ground. "But you said you were…" Jessica's voice trailed off as she watched Cruz dash out of the room. "... hungry." She whispered. "He looks so worked up, I hope it's nothing too serious." She thought to herself as she sat beside her food and began devouring it. "Leah and Tyler should be landing soon." She sighed at her loneliness. ★★★★★Cruz arrived at Bay Cafe where Klaus was anxiously

Meanwhile…Jessica, who was scrolling through her phone when the article appeared and was quite shocked and confused.According to the article, Klaus and Cruz's childh ood stories were brought to light as they were accused of being in a romantic relationship. The feud between them in their last days as highschoolers was revealed to the public though the article lacked details about it. The article also claimed the men might have been responsible for the death of Bella since she was very close to them at some point. What shocked Jessica the most was the fact that the reporter who released this article claimed she got the information from her and the article was trending even more because of that claim and luckily for her she posted a few pictures of herself and Jessica together to back up her claims. A lot of people would believe the article since Jessica was known to be close to the men. In this case, if Jessica doesn't debunk the news, she could be held responsible for any legal

"Whenever you hear Webber, what other name comes to your mind?" Dave asked as he sat on the chair beside Cole. "Rebecca, of course! What's her deal? Why is she stirring up an old case?" Cruz asked angrily. Dave remained mute and so did Klaus who looked like he was in deep thought. "Just think harder, something else will come to…" "Stop playing games with me and tell me what I need to know!" Cruz angrily interrupted Dave who was trying to make Cruz guess. "TRIANA?!" Klaus exclaimed in disbelief. "Her name was Triana Webber. How could you have forgotten someone you were once engaged to?" He added, still staring at Cruz in disbelief. "T-Triana? Does that mean Rebecca is her sister?" Cruz asked, equally in disbelief. "Exactly!" Dave confirmed. "Oh shoot! I have never even mentioned the wedding plans to Jessica before now. She's going to be so upset hearing it from her." Cruz complained worriedly. "Are you seriously worried about that now?" Klaus asked in disbelief. "What more sh

BAYRAY CAFE…"What you're trying to tell me in essence is that Cruz was once going to marry your sister?" Jessica asked again to be sure she heard right as her grip tightened on the hot cup of coffee in front of her. "You trust Cade, right? Why don't you ask him if you don't believe me?" Rebecca suggested confidently, her eyes gnawing at Jessica's surprised face as she sat across her on a small table by the corner of the BayRay Cafe. "Don't ever bring Cade into this mess." Jessica warned firmly. "Jessica, I know this whole situation is still confusing for you but I've got a shocker. Those men were members of a cult called FREEDOM. It's hard to find more information about the group but I hear they share a matching tattoo of… " "...a flying bird!" Jessica interrupted as they both chorused the answer. 'So it was a cult group after all. No wonder Cruz looked lost as I spoke about Landon that day.' Jessica mumbled."Don't tell me Cruz told you about that." Rebecca wondered."No. I've

Cruz dropped his gaze and kept his lips locked, not ready to share the truth with them. "I think I got my answer. I will take my leave now." Jessica broke the silence as she strode out of the Cafe. "Cruz, are you alr…" "I think I should also call it a day." Rebecca quickly interrupted Klaus who was worried about Cruz's silence. "I will keep digging but let me know if you want to make things faster." She added before also striding out of the Cafe. Klaus sighed as he stretched his hand to reach out to Cruz, gently caressing his knuckles. "K, it's not like I'm happy with what happened to Bella but I promise you, that baby wasn't yours." Cruz confessed, his gaze still fixed on the table. "I know." Klaus replied to Cruz shocking surprise. "How did you know…that?" He stuttered as he finally raised his head to meet Klaus's gaze. "I found the test results you received from the doctor at the scene of your kidnap. I got there before the police and destroyed it after going through it."

She remembered just how excited he was when he got the news of their relationship but it's barely 24 hours since then and she is already going back on her promiseJessica knew it wasn't her fault too. Neither Cade nor her was at fault for the turn of events. It's just Cruz's fault and she was determined to make him understand just how many people he was hurting with his decision of keeping his past a secret. Long after Cade left, she contemplated for a while before she decided it was time to confront Cruz, then she switched on her phone and dialed his number. "Tsk...Is he ignoring me now?" She scoffed after the phone rang for several seconds for the first time and he didn't answer. She didn't hesitate to dial the number after it came to a stop just to confirm whether or not Cruz was ignoring her but just as the call was about to end the second time, Cruz answered the

"I can, Jessica. You know I'm good at such things. But I will never let you put yourself and your self-worth through such ridiculous circumstances for my sake." Cruz blurted out to Jessica's surprise. "If we date in this situation, you'd be hurting your mental health because you've already made up your mind that we can never be real. It's even crazier because we love each other." Cruz complained. "There's a thin line you should never cross with someone you are not willing to spend the rest of your life with but dating me for a year, you'd be crossing that line and I assure you you'd never be able to recover from it. I'm not will tell you my secret and you're not willing to start a relationship with me if "Cruz, it's not even up to a year. I'm sure I can manage. I care about Cade and I desperately want to see him happy. I know you care about him too so let's do this for him." Jessica pleaded.

"Damn!” Dave exclaimed in awe. “Cruz can definitely hear us.” Dr. Kang affirmed. “Now back to why he is refusing to let us take her…”“Cruz, if you want us to treat Jessica, move your finger twice, if not move it three times.” He suggested and once again, Cruz answered by moving his fingers just twice. “And do you want us to take her? If yes, move your finger twice, otherwise, thrice.” Dr. Kang suggested again and this time, he moved his finger three times.“He wants her to be treated but he doesn’t want us to take her.” Dr. Kang explained. “That means he wants her to be treated here!” Klaus interpreted. “Perfect. Call her doctor! He should treat her here. It would only make Cruz’s condition improve.” Dr. Kang suggested. “And please, no one else must hear of this!” He warned again and the men agreed with her before Dave went to get her doctor. By the next morning, Jessica’s temperature was finally down but she was still in Cruz’s arms. The family was happy she was finally getting

"C-coma?" She stuttered as a lone tear trickled down her cheeks. Dave who was standing behind her slowly massaged her shoulder in an attempt to keep her calm. "How long is he going to be in that condition?" Klaus, who was sitting beside her, asked curiously. "No one can say. Cruz might never wake up." Dr. Kang added. Jessica felt her heart thumping wildly inside her chest. Even though she was prepared for any news, she never expected it to be this bad. As long as the life monitor was on Cruz could be alive but the moment it is turned off, that would be the end of his life. Fortunately, Cruz and his family were rich enough to pay for as long as it would take for him to recover. Everyone was shocked by the news.

Billionaire's Bet - My Brother's Teacher Comatose
Cade was the first to run into the room upon hearing her shriek. Fortunately, her voice pierced the soundproofed rooms thanks to the fact that Cruz has succeeded in opening the door ajar. Upon seeing Cruz's condition, Cade quickly got the attention of Dave and Klaus. ******Cruz was admitted to the emergency ward of his hospital with Dr. Kang and his assigned doctors working on him. Cade had called Dr. Kang as soon as the attack happened. Fortunately, Dr. Kang who had already predicted this was going to happen came to Los Angeles the same day Cruz had come which was why he directed them to Cruz's hospital and was able to meet up with them in time. Outside the ward was the whole family panicking while Cruz's parents pestered Dave to tell them what was going on. "Why did you have an oxygen mask with you as if you knew he was gasping for air? What is wrong with my son? Why is he in that shape?" Cruz's mom pestered Dave and Klaus, hoping any of them would spill the truth. But none o
Billionaire's Bet - My Brother's Teacher Last Attack
Jessica refused to get into the car when she was supposed to leave for her house and aside from being genuinely worried, everyone wanted to know why she was refusing to leave. "Before I leave, I want to be certain that she is nowhere near the house, or better still, I will lodge at a hotel." She finally stated her reason. "Jessica, you won't. I promise." Klaus tried to persuade her. "It doesn't matter. I don't want to live under the same roof as her." Jessica retorted. "Sister-in-law, Valeria can't leave because she was placed on house arrest. She can't even step out of the guesthouse. We can't let her off so easily after putting your life in such jeopardy." Cade added, trying to persuade Jessica to go home. "Did they persuade you to think that House Arrest will suffice? What could they possibly do to her since she is carrying their beloved boss and friends' safest child? I could lose my child anytime because of her but she's Cruz's second chance so they won't risk discomfortin
Billionaire's Bet - My Brother's Teacher His Return
Back in South Korea, Cruz had suffered another attack after the call and the doctors went through several hours of stress to stabilize him. It was only later the next day that Cruz finally regained his consciousness. By that time, Dave, who had left for South Korea the previous night, was already there with him. Dr. Kang was so pissed with them that he refused to speak with them. It took hours of convincing to finally get Dr. Kang to join them for a conversation but he had a patient to attend to and he agreed to join them once he was done. During that time, Cruz decided to question Dave about the circumstances back at home. "How is Jessica doing?" Cruz asked worriedly as he sat up on his bed, looking a lot thinner than he used to. "Klaus is taking care of things. Dr. Kang is mad because of your recent attack. Can you please try not to involve yourself in the family affairs for now? I promise we will take care of things." Dave pleaded. "How can I when I have completely ruined my

By the time Dave was done with his call, he turned to meet Cade's confused gaze. "Whatever happens in the future, don't look for anyone to put the blame on." Dave warned before walking out on him, heading out of the hospital. Cade was confused about Dave's warning. All he knew was that his brother was a coward who couldn't stay with his wife when he needed her the most. He returned to the room where Jessica's mom was now sitting up, weeping. "I really didn't want to regret joining your family but now I do." She spoke out her mind while staring into Mrs. Westham's eyes. "Jessica really wanted to keep this baby. Now that this happened, she will never be the same again." She continued as she removed the IV connected to her hand and stood up to her feet. "We shouldn't all gather around me. Jessica is the patient here so let's wait around her room. I will take her back home as soon as she is discharged. She will no longer continue whatever this relationship is." She concluded an

"Oh God!" Cade lamented. "F*ck! How could you do this again?" Dave asked as he started at Valeria in disbelief. Jessica was as confused as Valeria was. "What on earth did you give to her, b*tch?" Cade asked as he stood very close to Valeria as if she was trying to swallow her whole. "Cade, back off!" Jessica warned but Cade wasn't ready to listen to her. "What the f*ck did you give to her?" He scolded as he pushed her, making her flinch in fear. For every step she took backwards to create a space between, Cade closed in on her. Even though Cade was young, he was taller and had a well built body and with the anger in his eyes and rage in his voice, it was no doubt it scared Valeria. "Hey…w-what do you think you're doing?" Valeria stuttered. "Cade, I'm talking to you. Back the f*ck off!" Jessica scolded as she grabbed his hand and forcefully pulled him back. Dave didn't know what to do at that time since she already swallowed the pills and the only thing he could do was run ou

Cade couldn't stop himself from crying as he saw the condition Jessica was in. He tried to run to her but his legs felt heavy so he just trudged forward until he finally reached where she was seated.Jessica spread out her arms, calling him in for a hug but Cade was hesitant so Jessica pulled him closer and hugged him tightly. "I missed you." She whispered in his ear. Cruz sniffled hard as he tried to stop his cry. "I'm sorry Sister-in-law. I really am." Cade apologized in between his sniffles. "I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise of protecting you. While I was there having fun, I had no idea you were going through hell over here." He cried as he clenched onto her. "Cade, what was our last promise at the airport?" Jessica asked as she wiped her tears with the back of her right palm. Cade was hesitant, "To stop being nosy in your marriage.""Very good." Jessica sighed as she released him from the hug and made him sit beside her on the bed. "But this is not being nosy. You're cle
