Leonard's lips reluctantly left Jane’s, and 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
Listening to the mocking voice behind her, Jane's smile faltered, her eyes narrowing slightly. Looking at the stranger through the dressing mirror, Jane had the feeling that Ivy is another bitch cooking up something. Lisa’s eyes widened in embarrassment. “Ivy, 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. “And my brother is in love with her, so this isn’t a forced marriage, and stop spouting nonsense.” Ivy 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 the stranger in front of her, she boiled with anger. Ivy’s face reddened, her eyes blazing with anger. “You're defending her?” Ivy spat, her voice venomous. “You're choosing her over me?” Lisa stepped forward, her hands raised calmingly. “Ivy, no, it's not like that. I'm just telling the tru
Ivy, 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 Ivy. 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. Ivy 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
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 on in favor of me? She questioned herself. “We are home, Jane. What are you thinking,
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. The 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 hi
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
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, and 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 ca

“Have we met before?” That was the question Jane asked the moment she saw her assistant's face clearly.Lily finally had the courage to look into Jane’s eyes. Shaking her head, she denied ever meeting Jane before. “No, Mrs. Bank, we have never met before.”Jane threw her thought to the back of her mind, not dwelling on whether she had met her assistant before or not. “What’s the matter with you? Is someone bullying you in the office? Or did I look scary?” Jane asked, not understanding why her assistant wouldn’t even look at her in the face.“No…, no Mrs Bank, no one is bullying me.” Lily stammered as she waved her hands. Looking at the way Lily immediately denied her claims, Jane figured out that her guest might be right. Jane doesn’t know why she felt the urge to protect her assistant. Maybe it was because she saw her past self in her.“Come here.” Jane commanded. Lily rushed forward and stood in front of Jane’s desk. “You don’t need to hide anything from me. You and I will be workin
Two weeks later.A flashy red car pulled in front of the Lockwood Cooperation. The back seat door was immediately opened after the driver rushed forward.“We are here, Mrs. Bank.” James informed Jane the moment he opened the car.A pair of legs clad in black heels stepped out of the car, before Jane’s full body stood tall outside the car, her green eyes covered with her dark sunglasses. Jane was putting on a white pants trouser, with a powdered blue blouse. Her black bag which was one of the gifts Leonard had showered her with during their honeymoon, complimented her heels and sunglasses.“Wow, who is that woman? Is she one of the representatives of the Smith’s Group? She is so beautiful.”“I think she looks familiar. Is she some known celebrity?”As the employees of the Lockwood corporation were making their way inside the building, they couldn’t help stopping for a few seconds to admire Jane, while some of them felt like she looked familiar. With the uproar Jane and Leonard's weddin
Leonard woke up to the bright sunlight seeping through the floor to ceiling window into the room. He squinted his eyes slightly before his vision finally got used to the brightness.Turning to his side, he was greeted by the sight of Jane, who was snuggled on his chest. Her soft breath tickled his naked chest. Her lips were slightly opened as her chest rose and fell to the rhythm of her breathing.Leonard took in Jane’s beautiful features like he couldn’t get enough of her. “Good morning, sunshine!” Leonard whispered into her ear, before moving closer to her as he placed an adoring kiss on her forehead.“Good morning, Hubby. How was your night?” Jane's eyes flew open the moment Leonard's lips left her forehead. She gave him a small smile as her big green eyes stared at him lovingly.Leonard's lips curled up as he returned her smile, before his hand wrapped freely on her waist, drawing her closer to himself. Jane’s eyes were smiling as she watched Leonard, whose head immediately bent
Los Angeles,Next Morning.“Mom, quickly turn on the television. I can’t believe that Jane, that slut had lied to us all these months she had stayed with us.” Teddy’s sister rushed to her mother’s room, almost frightening her mother, who was still in bed out of her skin.“What’s the meaning of all this, Milly? Don’t you see that I’m sleeping?” Teddy’s mother’s voice was filled with displeasure at being woken up early in the morning by her daughter.“I’m sorry for disturbing you this early, mom. However, what I want to inform you about something very important, that’s why I can’t wait for you to come downstairs.”Teddy’s mother rolled her eyes, before sitting up, with the blanket still covering her body. “And what can’t wait for me to come downstairs?”Milly rushed forward and grabbed the remote control from the shelf in the room. She put on the big television set in her mother’s room, finding the channel where she had seen the shocking news of Jane’s marriage with the country’s most w
Noticing that Leonard wasn’t moving anymore, Jane shifted her teary eyes to face Leonard, after getting better a little. Their position was awkward as Leonard was still, not having any intention to continue what they started.“Leonard,” Jane bit her lower lip as she called his name. “What’s wrong? Why did you stop?”Leonard snapped out of his daze after hearing Jane’s questions. He immediately proceeded to pull himself out of her, but Jane grabbed his naked butts with her hands, shaking her head at him, why her eyes were filled with a daring look which seemed to say, “I dare you to pull out.” Though she was feeling uncomfortable. They have already reached this stage. She also wants to enjoy and have the feel of how sex tastes like.Leonard took in a deep breath, trying to control the urge of moving. He finally realized that his guess was right. The sensation of the warm red liquid that gushed out of Jane the moment he tore her hymen, proved him right that Jane was actually a virgin, w
Leonard's eyes were filled with love looking at the women under him. He doesn’t think he would love another woman the way he loved Jane, not in this life.“Darling, are you sure you want to do this?” Leonad asked Jane once again, to be sure that she wasn’t forcing herself to have sex with him.“Umm, I’m sure, babe.” Jane shyly smiled at Leonard, giving him the reassurance he needed, while she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him in for another pleasurable kiss.Leonard’s hand began roaming over Jane’s body, enjoying the way her pinkish skin melted on his touch. Jane’s hand also left his neck, roaming all over his shirtless chest. Leonard's muscles grew tense as Jane’s hand caressed him.Leonard hand finds the strap of her lingerie, pulling it down, rolling it to her waist. Jane hissed the moment the cold air came into contact with her bare skin. Leonard's eyes roamed all over her round breast, like it was the best food he had ever set his eyes on. Jane couldn’t help rubbing h
Jane could see the emotions twirling in Leonard’s eyes. As Leonard was about to get out of the bed, Jane grasped his hand, not giving him the chance to leave.Leonard didn’t turn his head to look at Jane, still thinking that she might be thinking about when she made love with Teddy in the past, a few moments ago when he tried to be intimate with her.“Babe, I didn’t mean that we can do that, you know…” Jane bit her lower lip shyly, while Leonard abruptly turned to look at her. He raised her chin up with his fingers. “Look at me Jane. What did you mean by that? Aren’t you the one who stopped me just now from touching you?”Jane raised her head and looked into Leonard’s eyes, which were full of questioning.“I didn’t say that you can’t touch me. Why I stopped you earlier was because I want us to take a shower. We’ve been stressed out today, and taking a shower wouldn’t cost us anything, would it?”Leonard's lips immediately curled up at her explanation. It turned out that he had wrong
“Welcome young master and young mistress.” Butler Jenkins and the other workers in Leonard’s mansion gave Jane and Leonard a 360 degree bow, as Leonard carried Jane in a princess carry into the mansion. “Thank you everyone.” Leonard stopped briefly to appreciate them, while Jane buried her head in Leonard’s neck, tired with all the activities that had taken place today. “Jenkins,” Leonard called out to the butler. “Yes, master Leonard.” He rushed forward, his back slightly bent. “Arranged for a week’s holiday for everyone. And also make sure you give them the gift that had been prepared earlier.” After leaving his instructions, Leonard took Jane into the mansion, making their way to their matrimonial bedroom. “Thank you young master, thank you young mistress. May your married life be filled with joy and happiness.” The workers and the butlers all echoed behind Leonard and Jane. Jane raised her head from Leonard’s shoulder and waved at them, giving them a small smile, before t
The Bright Green Hotel was abuzz with activities as the most prestigious individuals in New York, powerful business moguls, and billionaires, all gathered and anticipated the start of the wedding of the year.At the entrance were security personnel, who are in-charge of verifying whoever wanted to enter the hotel as a whole. Without invitation and face verification, no one is allowed to enter. The hotel was fully booked for the wedding of Leonard and Jane, which would most likely become the talk of the country for the next few years to come.As Jane and her father made their way to the luxuriously decorated hall, where the wedding procession is about to take place, Jane's eyes landed on Leonard, who was happily chatting with the priest in front of the altar. Her heart skipped a beat looking at the handsome Leonard, who was putting on a black tuxedo suit, inner white shirt, black pants and black shiny shoes, which complimented her white wedding gown.None of the people in the hall noti
