“Dad, I’m telling the truth, believe me, Dad. I’m in love with Leonard. I would never call off this wedding.” Jane's hand was placed on her chest trying to make her father see her sincerity.

Jason's expression was incredulous. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His daughter, who ran away from home just because of this marriage, was in front of him declaring her love for the same man she escaped. This is unbelievable.

Jason shook his head, still trying to process what Jane just said. “Jane, I don’t know what you are playing at right now, but let me tell you, I won’t let you try anything stupid this time around,” Jason said, his voice firm. “You always hated the idea of getting married to Leonard and now? Jason took a step closer to Jane, his footsteps heavy, “what changed Jane, what changed.”

The aura emitting from Jason was so strong that Jane took a shaky step back, trying to be as far away from her father as possible. “Dad,” Jane's shaky voice tumbled out. Though she was afrai

    Jason's grip on the phone tightened as he anticipated whatever the Banks wanted to say. He just hoped they hadn’t found anything about his daughter’s previous marriage.“Hi Jason, how have you been?” Reginald's cheerful voice echoed in the silent living room from the phone. Jane shifted her butts on the sofa impatiently.“I’ve been good Reginald, thanks for asking.” Jason tried sounding as calm as possible. Reginald's cheerful voice continued, “Great, great! I was calling to discuss the rehearsal dinner for tomorrow. We've finalized the details, and we are using the ‘fruitful palace’ restaurant. I will send the details to you later.”Jason's tense shoulders relaxed slightly as he realized the call wasn't about Jane's previous marriage. He glanced over at Jane, who was watching him with bated breath. He gave her a subtle nod, and her face relaxed, relief written all over it as she sagged back on the sofa.After speaking with Reginald for some minutes, the call comes to an end.Jane’s

    Singapore. Bank Group Headquarters. 10:00 P.M. At the top floor of one of the tallest skyscrapers in the Marina Bay district in Singapore, Leonard, who was sitting poised behind the expansive mahogany desk in his office, was a picture of refined elegance. His broad back was a testimony to his rigorous workout routine. His slender fingers danced across the keyboard of his sleek, shiny black laptop, the words flowing onto the screen with lightning speed. As he typed, the soft glow of the desk lamp cast a warm, golden light upon his chiseled features, illuminating the sharp planes of his face and the intense focus in his eyes. The city skyline outside, a dazzling tapestry of twinkling lights and towering skyscrapers, seemed to hum with energy, a subtle counterpoint to the quiet intensity of Leonard's work. Finally, with a soft click, Leonard shut down the laptop, his fingers stilled on the keyboard. He leaned back in the plush, black leather armchair, his eyes closing in a mom

    “Sir, Mr Andrew is here.” Assistant Rachel almost cried saying that. All she wanted was to escape the lion's den. Leonard, who was pacing back and forth ceased his movements, his gaze locked on Mr Andrew, whose legs were shaking by now. He almost peed on his pants as he prayed for this faze to be done with. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Assistant Rachel finds an excuse and escapes from the room. She can’t stay in the freezing room anymore. Leonard's gaze was on him for a few seconds, before circling his desk and sitting down, his movements deliberate and menacing. “So Mr. Andrew,” Leonard began, his voice low and even, “I recall you telling me yesterday you have almost solved the issue of the bug hindering the progress of the ‘Heart’ project. I trust you have some explanation for the unpleasantness that had been brought to my attention.” Leonard skillfully toyed with a blue pen between in fingers, wiggling it like it was a knife. Mr Andrew felt a shiver run down his

    New York Fruitful Palace Restaurant. 8:00 P.M The streets of New York were luxuriously lit up. The New York Fruitful Palace stood tall. Its elegant exterior gleams amid the luxurious light of the Manhattan streets. A black Rolls-Royce phantom could be seen entering the main gate of the luxurious Fruitful Palace restaurant. Two more cars trailed behind it. The cars came to a halt after it was parked carefully at the VIP parking lot. The driver of the Rolls-Royce Phantom rushed out of the car. He circled the car as he reached out for the back seat door. He opened the door and bowed slightly. “We are here, Miss Jane.” A pair of long legs clasped in the latest Louboutin heels stepped out of the car, followed by the stunning Jane, who was dressed in a fitted red designer gown that accentuated her curves. The red dress was made of silk with a small diamond used as a design on it, which shimmered under the bright light of the restaurant parking lots. After she came down, the o

    “Gavin, why are you here?” Lisa said, her tone laced with displeasure. “Little cousin, why can’t I be here?” Gavin asked Lisa, his voice dripping with a mocking innocence. His eyes darted back to Jane as he said; “I was out of town during my dear cousin Leonard's engagement, so I promised myself not to miss the rehearsal dinner that’s why I’m here.” From Lisa’s words, the Lockwood family of four finally knew the identity of Gavin, who came uninvited. It also seems like his relationship with Lisa was not that good. “But no one invited you here, Gavin. I remembered Grandpa warning you not to ever come to any important gathering we are having after what you did last time. Stop being an asshole.” Lisa rolled her eyes at him, disgust written all over her face. Gavin's smiling face was immediately replaced in anger. He didn’t like the way Lisa was talking to him. He doesn’t want Jane to know about his bad record with his family. Gavin took a deep breath, his smile returning, but a

    Everyone's gaze shifted towards the speaker. Jane saw that the woman was sitting beside a man who slightly looked like Reginald, Leonard’s father. She guessed she was the man’s wife, and the man was likely to be Leonard’s uncle, the first son of Grandpa Edward. “Dad, Mom, you guys are here,” Gavin exclaimed as he walked towards his mother, giving her a peck on her right cheek. Gavin’s words answered Jane’s thought. The annoying woman was Gavin’s mom. She didn’t see her and her husband on the day of her engagement “Enough Helen. You don’t have the right to scold Leonard’s fiancée in public. We aren’t the only ones here.” Henry, Gavin’s father's eyes scanned the private room. All attention was on him and his family. He was someone who didn’t like being in the limelight, but his wife would always make him feel embarrassed. Trying to clear the awkward moment, Henry stood up from his chair, his hand stretched forward. “Hi Jane, I’m Leonard’s uncle, Dr. Henry. I’m sorry for missing yo

    As Jane walked to the washroom, the soft rustle of her dress echoed off the hallway. She glanced over her shoulder as she had this feeling that someone was trailing her, but couldn’t find anyone. She was the only one in the hallway. “I must be imagining things.” She whispered to herself, shaking her head as she entered the washroom.Meanwhile,in the private dining room where the rehearsal dinner is going on, Ivy’s eyes locked on Jane’s figure through the window. A sly smile spread across her face as she stood up, her chair scraping against the floor. “Grandpa, I would be right back. I want to go and touch up my makeup.” Ivy said coyly, trying to sound as sweet as possible.Grandpa Edward's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he nodded. “You this child,” Grandpa Edward said dotingly. “Why are you telling me this? Just go and do your thing.” He waved his hand, shooing her away.“Thanks Grandpa.” Ivy pecked Grandpa Edward cheek, just like she always does when she was a child, before

Is this who your daughter is Jason?” Grandfather Edward shouted, his eyes brewing with anger.“Tch, didn’t I tell you to have a rethink for such a woman Dad?” Helen said, gloating at Jane’s misfortune. “Who knew how many men she had out there? This might just be one of them. What a shameless wretch.” Helen spat, her eyes filled with disgust towards Jane, who was standing in the doorway.Lucy, who was also shocked about the pictures that were on display, was the first to speak up for Jane. “Madam Helen, I would advise you to mind your language. This might just be a misunderstanding. Who knew this might be a setup from a malicious person who is jealous of Jane?” Lina said feeling sorry for Jane. She trusted Jane won’t do such a thing.

Is she still inside?” James asked as he walked up to Lily, whose body was shaking with dread. “I don’t know where she is. She was waiting for you as always.

    “Jane, are you alright?” Lily asked immediately after she closed Jane’s office door behind them. She had felt how Jane’s mood had fluctuated the moment the new business partner was introduced. Jane had left the conference room immediately after the meeting ended.Jane walked to her desk in a daze. How she had made it back to her office, she can’t say. She was still in shock after seeing that person. According to her brother, he would become a partner with their company, not only that, Jane would also be attending any of their business dealings.“Jane?” Lily had never seen Jane so lost before. She had called her name thrice after she sat down, but it seems like Jane was in her own world. She didn’t seem to hear her.“What’s wrong with you, Jane? Are you sure you are okay?” Lily was worried about her boss. She felt helpless for not being able to know what was wrong with Jane. With all Lily’s questions, Jane didn’t seem to hear her.“I think I would have to call Mr. Bank and tell me wha

She saw that she still had almost twenty minutes before the meeting started.“I’m almost done with balancing this account. Let me round up, and we are good to go.” Jane’s fingers ran across the keyboard of her laptop with a fast pace, which was almost invisible to the eyes.Lily walked forward and dropped the files in her arms on Jane’s table, watching her boss with admiration.

    As Jane stepped out of the elevator with Lily trailing behind her, someone called onto her.“Jane!” Hurried footsteps sounded behind her. As she turned around, she was greeted with the smiling face of her brother, Desmond.“Hey brother, how are you?” Jane greeted Desmond, who was studying her. Jane signaled for Lily to leave. She was only there to direct her to the conference room since it was her first time being here.“I’m good, Jane. I don’t need to ask how you are doing. It seems like my brother-in-law took very good care of you during your honeymoon. Look at how your skin is glowing.” Desmond teased, making Jane blush.“Desmond, stop teasing me. Are you also going for the meeting.” Desmond nodded. “Let’s go, or else we will be late.” Jane said with concern. She doesn’t want to be late for her first meeting.“Alright. Let’s go.” Desmond led the way, while Jane followed behind him. A minute later, they were standing in front of a room that had the tag ‘CONFERENCE ROOM’ boldly writt

    “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

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.

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.

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.

    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.
