"I was there but I had an important business call. I was advising Mr. Khalifa on the measures to take after his heart surgery. I had earbuds on and I was on a video call so I had no touch with reality until I fortunately saw Jessica about to fall off." Cruz explained.

"What? So you have no idea what happened?" Jason questioned.

"Yes, just tell me what the fuck happened!" Cruz yelled.

"If you're bent on pretending not to know what happened, then I might as well tell you! The video which you and Jessica recorded as she disclosed Leah's secret affair to you. And you aired it on Tyler's wedding just to ruin his wedding, but unfortunately for you and fortunately for us, they were too in love that they don't keep any secret from each other and they were able to save their relationship and marriage today!" Mrs. Bryant explained with so much hate in her voice.

Cruz shut his eyes briefly and had a quick flashback of the previous night.

    CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXCruz immediately ran back to the terminal gate to meet the security guards who seemed to be talking discreetly that got Cruz suspicious."What the fuck is going on here?" He asked angrily but they feigned ignorance. "What do you mean, Sir?" The security guard asked. "How can Jessica's name not be mentioned in that list when her phone is right here?" Jessica asked curiously. "What do you mean by that?" The security guard asked curiously. "Please, stop feigning ignorance with me. If any of you know something, please just tell me. I need to find her. Like I said, she escaped from the hospital." Cruz explained almost in tears. The second security card looked at his superior for a while before looking back at Cruz. "I think I saw someone who looked sickly and injured today. She had a bandage around her head. Could she be the one?" The guard asked. "She could be the one. Can you recognize her? I could show you a picture." Cruz suggested and the guard nodded in affi

    Cruz returned to LA as early as possible and the first place he went to was his hospital but to his surprise, Jessica was not anywhere near the hospital. He immediately left his office to go in search of her but his secretary stopped him. "You have some patients to check on. You can't leave just yet." Ms. Rivera explained. "Get Valeria or any other doctor to do it. I'm busy." Cruz replied before sprinting out of the office.He almost bumped into Dr. Campbell who was coming into his office but he didn't even notice her. "What is wrong with the head surgeon?" Dr. Campbell asked as she walked in to meet Ms. Rivera. "I don't know. He has never been this unprofessional before." Ms. Rivera complained. While the ladies were still worrying about Cruz's sudden change in attitude, Cruz was already on his way to The One Estate to find Jessica. He couldn't stop complaining about Jessica's stubbornness and carelessness towards her health until he finally arrived at the estate. "Neither Ms.

    "Who else would be that stupid and careless to take such a big step in someone else's life without the person's consent if not Cruz Westham?" Jessica replied, her eyes burning with furry. She tried to move her right hand once again but the pain reminded her it was out of use for now and she whimpered briefly. "Jessica, please try to calm down. I will contact him to take it down now." Klaus reassured but Jessica wanted to fight her battle by herself. "You don't have to do anything, Klaus. I will deal with him myself." Jessica replied and just then the nurses who were supposed to bring Jessica to the X-ray arrived. "Ma'am, please follow us for the X-ray." One of the nurses suggested. "Please, excuse us for five minutes and I will join you soon." Jessica suggested and without much hesitation, the nurses stepped out of the room. "Is there anything you'd…" "Please hand me the landline. I need to do something very important." Jessica begged and with hesitation, Klaus handed her the l

    "Cruz!" Klaus called out angrily. "Mind your speech!" He warned but Cruz was least concerned about whatever he had to say. "Am I wrong, Ms. Jessica Vegas?" Cruz asked sarcastically, hurting Jessica even more. "Cruz, what are you doing?" Jason whispered to Cruz but he wasn't in the mood to respond. "I'm just being honest like always!" Cruz replied audibly as a mischievous smile sprouted on his lips.Jessica stared at him in shock for a while before she wiped her eyes and shut them for a while. "You're right to an extent. I almost ruined my friend's wedding thanks to my wrong judgment of people but he isn't a random guy. He is Klaus Wright. My friend!" Jessica replied and Cruz's mischievous smile quickly turned into a frown but he didn't want Jessica or anyone else to notice that so he let out sarcastic laughter. "Friend, huh? How do you select your friends? By looks or by net worth? I wonder which one Leah and Tyler were lacking for you to do that to her." Cruz accused, knowing th

    "Mom? Have you been eavesdropping on me?" Cruz asked as a friend crept on his face. "I wasn't eavesdropping, I was listening!" Mrs. Westham replied as she sat on his bed."Let's assume you were listening, what's up with your response?" He asked again. "Just an honest answer!" She replied and Cruz became immediately alarmed as he sat beside his mom and glared at him. "You can't b serious, mom! Don't forget I'm your son you have to always be on my side." He reminded her. "Tsk…you know I will never lie to cover up for you. Cruz, you're a terrible person. You're not nice at all." She added, provoking Cruz even more. "Mom, that's so unfair! Do you know how many times I've gone out of my way to help that bitch? She's so annoying and she never sees what I do for her!" Cruz complained. "That's why you are such a terrible guy, Cruz. You're so pompous and egoistic. Think about it, the harm you've caused that lady is much more than the good you did for her." She reprimanded. "Mom!" Cruz c

    "Exactly what you heard me say, Leah!" Dylan replied as he traced his finger on her face. “When I overheard Jessica talking on the phone with you that day, I thought tailing her all night will be of help and when I heard I disclose your secret to Cruz, I thought this was the perfect opportunity I have to separate you and Tyler forever but you managed to sort out your differences and ruined my plan. You thought coming down here will keep you and your baby safe but here you are…” "Get your filthy hands off me! And don't think about threatening my baby!" Leah interrupted as she pushed him off. ‘I knew Jessica can never betray me like this. I should have known this asshole is my only enemy.’ She thought to herself."What were you thinking? That I will let you and that asshole have your way after killing my baby? I agree you've always been his, but when you carried my child, you should have let it live. But no! You and Tyler were just too selfish to let another person's child ruin your

    "Do you think something bad happened to Jessica? What if she tried to commit suicide? It is all my fault now!" Leah blamed herself as she burst out in tears. "Seriously, Leah! How can you even imagine such a thing about Jessica? And you're even taking the blame." Tyler complained. "I know I shouldn't think like this but…" Leah's voice trailed off as Tyler's phone rang once again. "Cruz…why did you end the call like that? What happened to Jessica?" Tyler asked curiously as soon as he answered the call. "You don't have to worry about her because even if she is not with me, she is in safe hands." Cruz replied. "What do you mean by that?" Leah asked eagerly. "I meant she found a really nice guy and a perfect company to keep her happy for a very long…" "What rubbish are you spewing? You know we're only calling you because we can't reach Jessica. Where is she right now?" Leah asked angrily. "Tsk…you're already married but you still don't have any patience.

    Luckily, Jason saw Cruz right before she got to where Klaus and his family were. “Cruz, what the fuck are you trying to do?” Jason whispered to Cruz.“I just wanted to confront them. If they are in a relationship, they should make it public. I would really love to see how everyone on WeCom reacts to Klaus’ relationship with a girl whose nude is all over the social media.” Cruz explained though that was not what was going on in his mind. The only thing that annoyed him was the fact that Jessica was with Klaus. He hated the idea of seeing them together and he feared a relationship might develop between the two. “Are you out of your mind? What do you think you’re doing? We are in a public place and any rubbish you try here will be all over the internet.” Jason warned but that was the least of Cruz’s worries at the moment.“I don’t give a fuck! My daily life is reported on the news with or without my permission. Everyone knows how many ladies I fuck in a day to the extent that I have n

    "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. Every news channel was now carrying the news of Cruz’s misfortune. Fortunately, Cruz was well-loved and he received a lot of good wishes from the masses.THREE MONTHS LATERKlaus's wedding turned out a lot smaller than planned because Cruz's condition had changed everyone

    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

    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

    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
