“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.

    “What is impossible Ivy? Why are you panicking when you are not the one in the video?” Grandpa Walton asked in confusion. He trusted Ivy so much that he didn’t imagine she had anything to do with the earlier photos.“Turn it off, just turn it off,” Ivy was about to go crazy as the video continued. If it wasn’t turned off, her secret would be exposed. She doesn’t want to lose face in front of so many people.She swiftly moved toward the area where the projector was, but she was unable to find what she was searching for. All she heard was the gasp of the people in the room, as the video displayed where she took Jane’s pictures and left with a smudged look. Lucy, who was boiling with rage, couldn't take it anymore. She hurried towards Ivy and held her by her shoulder-length hair. “You b*tch, just like I suspected. You are the one behind all this. What a shameless person you are.” Lucy dragged Ivy with her hair all over the room, making her scream her lungs out in pain.Everyone was shoc

    A few minutes later, Grandpa Edward's heartbeat returned to normal, and the pain was no longer as excruciating as before, after taking his medication. Ivy, who is still upset, argues with Grandpa Edward immediately his condition gets better, not minding his health. “Grandpa, I didn’t do anything wrong. You can’t just send me out of the house because of an outsider.” Ivy said, her eyes red-rimmed from shedding some tears. “Since you know that, apologize to Jane immediately. And I don’t ever want to hear you call Jane an outsider. She is family.” Grandpa Edward said, his face slightly pale, but his words were firm. “Fine, since you are not supporting me anymore, I will leave.” Ivy’s face contorted in anger as she said this. “Had you not promised me when I was young that Leonard was mine, I wouldn’t be so obsessed with him till now. I hate you, Grandpa!” Ivy exclaimed and stormed out of the room, her face filled with tears. Gavin followed behind her, not caring what others might s

    New York 10:00pm “Ouch,” Jane, who stood in front of the vanity in her room, winced in pain. Her eyes welled up in tears as she dabbed cotton swabs on her swollen cheek. She bit her lips to hold back her whimper. Her hand trembled slightly as she hissed through gritted teeth as the swab made contact with her tender cheek skin. The warm glow of the table lamp on her vanity cast a warm glow on her soft and delicate body. As she studied her reflection in the mirror, she noticed the faint bruise that had formed on her tender cheek skin. Her thought couldn’t help drifting back to Helen’s ruthless slap, as her mind replayed the scene continuously. A spark of anger ignited within her as she felt the surge of revenge brewing in her heart. She was done with letting others bully her. From today onwards, she was done with being a victim of bullying. Just then, her phone rang, it’s loud ringtone shattering the peaceful silence in the room, interrupting her thought.

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.

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. 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.

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.

    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.

    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.
