Jane stormed out of the living room, Leonard following closely behind. As soon as they reached the garden, she spun around, her eyes blazing.“You!” she exclaimed, her voice low and furious. “Is it because you know I’m your fiancée that you saved me at the bridge that day?” She questioned him.Leonard's smiling face suddenly frowned, his eyes crinkling. “Would you believe me if I said I never knew who you were before saving you that day? I just got to know who you are the day you woke up at the hospital.Jane gazed deeply into his eyes, searching whether he was lying or not. “Why didn't you tell me after knowing? “Gosh,” she yanked her hair in frustration. I even stayed at your place for the past two months, and you didn’t bring this up. Why did you keep it a secret?” She sighed.Leonard shrugged. “I didn't think it was relevant. Besides, I wanted to get to know you better.”Jane's eyes narrowed. “Get to know me better? You're my fiancé! How could you agree to marry me without even te
Leonard's lips reluctantly left Jane’s, as they turned to face the intruder.“Sorry to interrupt,” Desmond said with a warm smile, “but dinner is ready. Everyone is waiting for you guys.”“We will be right there Desmond, thank you.” Leonard grinned.Desmond nodded, and left. Jane was shy being caught by her brother making out. Seeing her shy expression, Leonard's frustration of being interrupted turned into a warm smile.“Let’s go.” He held her hand, pulling her with him. “Leonard wait,” Jane stopped, making Leonard also stop. “I think I should be honest with your family and tell them about my previous marriage. It won’t be nice if they later knew from somewhere.” Jane suggested.Leonard's expression turned resolute. “No, Jane. Don't tell them. It's our personal life, no one else needs to know.” Knowing that if his family came to know about Jane's previous marriage, the good relationship they seemed to have now, would turn sour. Even his grandfather forcing him to get married to her,
Hearing that mocking voice, Jane's smile faltered, her eyes narrowing slightly. Looking at the stranger through the dressing mirror, Jane had the feeling that Ava is another bitch cooking up something.Lisa’s eyes widened in embarrassment. “Ava, stop it. This is Jane, my brother 's fiancée, and his future wife. By the way, Jane is not that young. She is 24, and Leonard is just 4 years older than her.” Lisa said angrily. By the way, my brother is in love with her, so this isn’t a forced marriage, and stop spouting nonsense.Ava was so angry listening to Lisa. She thought with all the years she had been together with Lisa, no matter what, she should support her. But seeing her supporting this stranger in front of her, she boiled with anger.Ava's face reddened, her eyes blazing with anger. “You're defending her?” Ava spat, her voice venomous. “You're choosing her over me?”Lisa stepped forward, her hands raised calmingly. “Ava, no, it's not like that. I'm just telling the truth.”Ava's
Ava, who had been watching everything unfold, couldn’t take it anymore. She had loved Leonard for more than fifteen years now. She once confessed her feelings for him, but he rejected her. She thought since he had been single for all this while, she felt he might like her too. Now seeing another woman in his embrace, she couldn’t take it.As she saw Leonard wanting to kiss Jane, she couldn’t help interrupting. Her shout echoed through the ballroom, “How could you, Leonard? How could you get engaged with her?”Her voice cracked, and tears streamed down her face.Jane and Leonard's kiss was forgotten as all eyes turned to Ava.She stumbled forward, her heels clicking on the marble floor. Suddenly, she lost her balance and crashed into a nearby waiter.The waiter's tray of drinks went flying, shattering on the floor.Ava cried out, clutching her ankle. “Oh, my God, I'm hurt!” Seeing Leonard still standing beside Jane, looking at her as if he was looking at a joke, a sharp pain stung her
As the evening wore on, Leonard and Jane put Ava's dramatic outburst behind them, focusing on celebrating their engagement with loved ones. The party's lively atmosphere and warm congratulations from guests were a balm to Jane's frazzled nerves.Lucy, Jane's closest friend, couldn't help but empathize with her. “I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, Jane,” she said, wrapping her in a tight hug. “You deserve all the happiness in the world, and I'm thrilled you've found it with Leonard.”Jane smiled gratefully. “Thanks, Lucy. Ava's issues run deeper than I realized.”As the night drew to a close, Leonard and Jane exchanged relieved glances. They bid farewell to their parents and slipped away, eager to leave the drama behind.The drive to Leonard's mansion was peaceful. Jane gazed out at the city lights, feeling grateful and also doubtful at the same time. Is this journey I’m about to embark in favor of me? She questioned herself.“We are home Jane. What are you thinking, huh?” Leonard
Los Angeles,Wilson’s Enterprise.Wilson's enterprise was busy as usual. The only difference is that everyone is in a bad mood. No one talks to each other if it’s unnecessary. The atmosphere was heavy with unease, like a household where a volatile patient temper loomed.And why was that? It’s because their president was in a bad mood just like a volatile patient whose temper loomed.The employees had been cracking their brains about what happened suddenly. It’s not that the company was experiencing bankruptcy, so why? When was the last time their boss acted normal? That would be three months ago.********Teddy’s office.Sound of something crashing could be heard. Assistant Ian was trembling seeing his boss go crazy. When was the last time his boss acted normal? That would be three months ago, before he received that call, which told him to prepare the divorce papers. 10 minutes ago…Assistant Ian walked into the office after getting his boss' permission. Since his boss had divorce t
Ava's laughter echoed through the parking lot as she slipped into her sleek black sedan. Her eyes gleamed with malice, fixated on destroying Jane's life.Meanwhile, back in Teddy's office, he stared at the blurry photo, his thoughts consumed by Jane. He couldn't shake off the feeling that he'd lost something precious.Suddenly, his phone buzzed, snapping him back to reality. His mom's name flashed on the screen.“Teddy, darling,” his mom's voice dripped with sweetness. “How's the search for Jane going? I hope you will get her soon. I won’t rest until I teach that bitch a lesson.” Her sweet voice suddenly turned sour.Teddy hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. “It's ongoing, Mother. I'll find her soon. Testing the water, he said, “mom, can’t you let this slide? You don’t want her in my life, and now she is gone, we should let her be.”"Why say that son? Hope it’s not what I’m thinking. If I find out you have any stupid feelings for that girl, you won’t like what I will do to you. Ava
Dylan apartment.Lucy was reclining on a chair deep in thought, before a hand appeared in front of her, picking her up. “What are you thinking about?” Dylan asked her. She had been moody for a week now. After Jane and Leonard's engagement, her mood had turned sour. She had been happy after finding her lost friend, that her happiness affected him, now she is moody, which is also affecting him negatively. He hadn’t been intimate with her for a while now, which he caused his friend, Leonard, for his misfortune.If it’s not for him, he wouldn’t be suffering.”I’m just thinking about Jane. You know, she has gone through a lot already, I can’t see her suffer again.” Lucy's care for Jane was genuine, which Dylan was always jealous of. Sitting her down on a chair in the dining room, he went to the kitchen to bring some cutlery.“I ordered Chinese, let’s eat.” He said as he walked up to her. He brought the takeout to the table, opening them one by one. “Don’t you hear what I said? How can I he
