It’s been one month since Judy is trying to get a stable job, keep submitting her applications, joining interviews but as usual not selected, now it’s getting unbearable. She is working as a part-timer on a new restaurant, but it doesn’t cover half of the expenses; house rent, granny’s medicine, check-up, food costs everything makes a huge amount that her earning can’t stand it. Alex is also working as a part-timer, but he has to support his study. They are living in the city, not staying in their village anymore because there are no medical facilities and she can’t risk her life anyhow. All she needs a stable job to support her as well as the family. “Once I get a job, I will work hard, but I’m just losing my confidence day by day,” she mumbles while letting out a deep breath. Now she wonders how people get a job because right now her dream is to get a job. While thinking all these things the urgency of buying groceries comes to her mind. After talking with her granny, she leaves for
With heavy, uncertain breath and a still trembling body, her feet led her to the kitchen. Her fierce and pounding heart isn’t letting her act in a normal way. Her back rests against the wall to rehabilitate her usual self, but it’s not manageable at all. She can’t manage it and is just hoping nobody will notice her situation. Trying to act normal, her lung keeps inhaling and exhaling to calm herself down. A place to hide is needed; she wishes she could hide somewhere to avoid the upcoming clash, but there is no other choice. As time skips by, her duty knocks on her door, so going to the dining area again to check if they need anything or not is her mandate. After taking a deep breath, she starts approaching them slowly. The heart should be in the ribcage, but she doesn’t know when it starts to live in her ear! “Sir, ma'am, is everything okay? Do you need anything else?” She trails her gaze at them, and finally it meets Ellen, but he gives her an annoying look just like when they first
Judy’s family is quietly having breakfast when a notification on her phone captures her attention. She bites her lip nervously as she checks it, not expecting much. To her surprise, the notification announces that she has been selected to join the company, starting tomorrow. Judy becomes filled with excitement upon receiving the news. “Wow! Wow! Wow!” Judy emits a high-pitched scream that startles Alex and makes his heart race. “Ahhhhhhhh, sis! I might die!” "But still alive.” Judy pokes out her tongue and then screams for a second time. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.” She stops after feeling the fork is ready to kill her. “Yah, are you mafia? How dare you threaten me this way, huh? I’m eight years older than you, so show me respect for 8x.” “You know you are insane.” “How dare you call me insane!" With gritted teeth and a surge of anger, Judy seizes Alex’s ear tightly. In retaliation, Alex grips Judy’s hair firmly, and the two engage in
Steve can’t stop laughing as he finds it amusing to tease her. He is surprised that she is his assistant, and he thinks she is active, but a bit silly in his opinion. “Ugh whatever, why do I even think about her?” He comes to his house and goes to his room directly. After Steve takes a shower, he heads downstairs to have dinner with Mrs. John and Ellen. The two of them are already seated at the dining table, waiting for him. “How was your first day?” she asks him. “It was so tiring, mom, but not that bad.” “Let time fly by, and you will get used to it,” Ellen tells him, so he shakes his head in agreement. “Why didn’t you come to the office, bro?” He shrugs while biting on the sandwich. “I was a little busy today, but from tomorrow on, I’ll join in on time,” he says while enjoying his food, a smirk forming on his lips. “Busy with that s**t, isn’t it?” he says while laughing at him, and then he sees his mom’s red pair of eyes on him. “I think I’ve rubbed up the wrong way; I've got to tu
Judy checks all of his meeting schedules and takes some of the files to show him. “Sir, you've got two meetings today; one is at 3 p.m. and the other is at 8 p.m.; here are the files for today’s meeting.” She gives him the files, and he looks at them. "Okay, take the files to my brother’s office; he’ll check them and then take his signature,” he says, but she doesn’t know where his office is; if she asks him, he’ll be angry at her, so better she’ll find it on her own. She nods her head at him and comes out of his room. Luckily, Rebecca is in front of her, who joined some days ago before her; she knows well about the office. “Rebecca, do you know the other boss’s office?” she asks her. “Yeah, it’s next to our boss,” she indicates with her finger to show her the direction. “Thanks a lot, gorgeous.” She smiles at her. “Thanks for fluttering me, and be cautious; he is just so handsome, you can slip.” She laughs, looking at her. “No, I got slipped by someone else a long time ago, so there’
She goes out of the room; he is just tired of hurting her, but she doesn’t get tired. She doesn’t have feelings for him; she doesn’t love him. Then why does she always endure all of his mistreatment silently? All those questions keep roaming in his mind, he can’t get over her thought. Even if he puts all of his anger aside, how will he put aside the tension that she is getting closer to his brother? Whenever he sees her getting closer to him, he can’t tolerate this. Why does she have to be so friendly to him? What if something happens between them? “No way!” An internal scream breaks his heart. It’s impossible; she can’t be with anyone other than him. However, he treats her, and whatever he does to her, she's still in his heart, only his. In a while, Ellen and Steve come out of the room, but still, Rylee is in the room. When they leave, she quickly takes all the papers that Judy gave him a while ago and puts them in her bag, then leaves the office and quickly drives somewhere. “I have
“Sir, ma'am, what would you prefer?” a beautiful air hostess asks them. “Carbonara and red wine, please,” Ellen says. “And you, ma'am?" she asks. “Beef burger and sprite,” she replies, and the hostess chuckles at them. “Twain always has different tastes,” she says while they look at each other awkwardly. After serving the food, the hostess leaves. “Couldn’t you defend the fact that we are not a couple?” Ellen tells her. “Why me, couldn’t you tell her, you have mouth too?” “Shut up, how dare you talk to my mouth?” “Because it’s attractive!” Judy mumbles in a low tone. “I wonder how you’ve become that shameless.” He glares at her. “I also wonder how you’ve become such a gentleman with so much lust in your heart.” “What did you say, Judy? Did you just dare to mess with me?” Ellen says, looking at her angrily. She lets out a deep sigh. “What a dilemma! You told me you were shameless when I praised your face, and now you're angry when I’ve said something unpleasant! You’re not okay, are yo
The next day they all attend a party at their hotel, and Judy takes a stunning look, which makes Rylee so jealous that she is breaking her teeth while grinding in anger. Judy is shining like the colorful lights of the spot; here is everyone’s gaze, including Luca's, which keeps roaming around her. “Where are you looking at Lucas?” Rylee asks while elbowing him angrily. “Argh, what’s your problem, Rylee?” “Why are you looking at her?” “I’m planning something interesting for my prey, and you should focus on something too, but no, you just know how to get jealous; now do whatever I say,” Lucas whispers something near her ear. “Hey, baby, what are you doing here? Come with me.” Rylee holds Ellen’s hand and drags him somewhere. Judy keeps looking in their direction and lets out a sad chuckle. “I shouldn’t join the party; the one for whom I have come here has gone with someone else.” She keeps standing alone beside the luxurious pool until Steve approaches her. “Hey, you are looking beautif
He gets a phone call from someone, so he quickly receives it. “You are missing your life so badly, isn’t it?” “I know it’s you, just stop your nasty game, Veronica; tell me where she is,” Ellen asks her furiously, which makes her chuckle amusingly. “Oh, I think you are missing her, then there’s something to calm your mind, Mr. Ellen; please check the notification.” Ellen checks the notification quickly. It’s a video that shows Judy’s presence clearly, so he quickly plays it with his extremely beating heart. Some of the boys start to touch her inappropriately; she starts to cry and begs them. “Please let me go; I didn’t do anything wrong to you. Please let me go.” Fear makes her skin pale; she is Ellen John’s wife, who never gets a little bit of peace after meeting him; directly or indirectly, she is the worst sufferer of Ellen’s shadow. Someone grabs her by the hair and starts to pull her somewhere, almost dragging her. “Please don’t do this to me; let me go.” "Why, baby girl, shouldn
Kathy keeps trying to reach Ellen, but he is not picking up his phone. One hour passes like that, Kathy neither able to reach Ellen nor move her body. At that moment someone receives the phone but not Ellen. “Sir, her water broke an hour ago; it’s getting out of hand; please come home early,” Kathy says in her panicked voice. “What! He is not at home yet?” Zen shouts from another side. Ellen has forgotten his phone in his office, but he left for his house an hour ago. Zen quickly runs out of the office and drives his car to John's mansion. Ellen and Steve left for the mansion an hour ago, but he wonders why it is taking that much time for them to return home. He reaches the house quickly and takes Judy in bridal style. He runs to his car with her and drives crazily to the hospital; Judy’s screams are wrecking the air, and he clenches his jaw thinking about how careless Ellen can be! Doctors quickly take her to the labor room, and the procedure gets started in no time. Zen and Kathy le
Judy gradually opens her eyes, she trails her gaze here and there in the bright room, a beautiful and weak smile plastered on her face seeing a figure sitting beside her. She lets out a sigh of relief. She is dying to meet her baby. “Ellen, is it a boy or a girl?” she asks, hearing a chuckling sound from him. “It’s a girl, my love,” The voice isn't Ellen’s voice! Judy tries to take a closer look, but her eyes get wide open as she can’t even think of facing him at this moment! “You!” Judy says nervously. He starts to ruffle her hair affectionately, and tears are rolling from his eyes. “I have missed you so much; why didn’t you miss me, Judy?” His sudden question makes her shocked; she doesn’t get why he is speaking this way! “I have started a new life, and I am happy with my love,” Judy says weakly. He closes his eyes in frustration; it seems like her words are numbing his heart. “No! No! You can’t address someone else as your lover except me.” A very unhappy expression spreads on Judy
Ellen wraps his hand around her back, she looks at him slightly smiling. “I’m sorry,” he mumbles in a low tone, she places her finger on his lips. “Why are you saying sorry?” “Remember the day we met?” Ellen asks, Judy shakes her head in agreement, how can she forget the day? That day she cursed her destiny for facing him, but now it’s the biggest day of her life—she met her destiny on that day, her eternity—the hatred that grew in her mind for him is impossible to imagine now. She can’t remember that feeling now; all she knows about him is love; she wants him more than anyone or anything else in this world. Ellen’s brittle tone catches her attention, and she quickly takes a concerned look at him. “From that day till now you are paying, you are sacrificing your everything for me. I don’t know how I will repay you. If I buy the whole world, it’ll be nothing in front of your favor.” His voice rises and falls, showing his sadness. Judy chuckles at him, resting her head on his shoulder. “
The next day, Doctor Rosalind, Judy’s gynecologist, a 45-year-old woman who is assigned for all her treatment, comes to visit her in her room. She flashes her beautiful smile to the doctor, “Good morning, Doctor.” "Morning, dear.” She sits beside her and checks out her blood pressure. “How are you feeling these days?” “Um, well, but sometimes my heartbeat causes problems; is it normal?” The doctor frowns while listening to her; a grim expression spreads across her face. “Did you ever face any accident or drastic pain before?” Judy frowns as she listens to her question. “I faced a car accident, but it was not that severe.” The doctor shakes her head in agreement and asks her when Ellen will come. “Maybe tomorrow, but doctor, is everything alright?” She nods her head several times and tells her to stay safe and careful. “Always eat healthy food and try to have a proper nap.” She gives her a chart to follow on those days and takes leave. It takes exactly two days for Ellen to return home
Mrs. John enters Judy’s room; she finds her in a half-lying state, leaning against the headboard of the bed. Her eyes are closed, the confident and cheerful Judy is nowhere to be seen, and the reason is obvious, but how long will it continue like that? She silently goes to the bed and sits beside her while holding her hand. Judy opens her eyes and sits quickly. “Mom,” she mumbles, “do you need anything?” Mrs. John nods at her while letting out a chuckle. “Oh, you can call me then why bother to come here? I can go there in your room.” “I’m in search of the cheerful Judy I knew; she is missing; I need her.” Judy giggles listening to her, “I’m here, your highness.” Mrs. John pats her head; she knows what’s going on in her mind, but still if they want to overcome the situation, they will have to take a new step. She puts her hands on her and caresses them affectionately. “You know, Judy, it’s been so long since I’ve seen your genuine smile, but I think you should move on.” Judy gives her
A sudden knock on his door catches his attention, so he gives his content quickly, but when he lifts his face, a bright smile spreads on his face. He quickly runs to her and pulls her into his embrace as if he had found her a thousand years later. “How come my love is here exactly when I need her?” Judy chuckles at him. “How can I let my man starve?” She holds his hand and walks to his desk. “Come have your breakfast now.” She unpacks the foods one by one, and Ellen chuckles seeing her action. He suddenly pulls her by her hand and makes her sit on his lap. “Feed me.” He indicates his hand to his mouth, and a very happy and satisfied smile spreads on her face. As she continues feeding him, Ellen also feeds her a spoonful of food. She can’t stop removing her gaze from his dark brown orbs while munching the food. “Am I too handsome?” “Too handsome to resist.” She chuckles at him. When she is done feeding him, she tries to stand up, but Ellen stops her; a quizzical expression spreads on h
Ellen quickly pulls her in his embrace. She takes her hand to his face and caresses his cheek. “How much I missed that moment, how much I’ve craved for your love,” she says then he places a soft kiss on her forehead. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry I didn’t see your pain but mine.” Judy breaks into tears even to more extent, “don’t say sorry Ellen, nothing will bring back my baby, I’ve lost it and I can’t forget this pain even if die,” she says then Ellen holds her hand softly. “I know, I know it very well, please don’t cry.” She is fighting to stop her tears but she can’t. “I’m craving to see my wife’s beautiful smile, can I have it?” He says while giving her the flower bouquet. Judy looks at the bouquet and gives him a teary smile. “Do you like it?” He asks her, and she quickly shakes her head at him. “Yes, they are so beautiful, thank you.” “Mention not baby girl.” Another day dawns with its bright morning glittering light; the clean leaves of trees and grasses of John Mansion are sparkli
“Not more just stop making us worried, try to take care of yourself a little bit.” “Okay, I’ll do it.” Judy clenches her jaw in anger. She goes to the stretcher and starts taking food like a hungry soul, tears rolling down from her eyes, he keeps looking at her being shocked. She looks at him with her teary eyes after completing her dinner. “Look I’ve started taking care of myself, I hope you stop worrying about me, I hate it when people worry about me, please don’t be worried again, from now on I’ll take care of myself all the way I know.” She goes to the bed and lays beside him, he can hear her sobbing clearly, he closes his frustration, she is hurt by him but he doesn’t understand why he is doing so to her. “Look, Judy, I didn’t mean to hurt you,” Ellen says sadly. “Don’t worry, you didn’t hurt me actually I’m a little dramatic that’s why I can’t control my tears, that’s why I hate me.” She starts to slap herself mercilessly, his eyes get wide open in shock. He quickly goes near her
