Miss Robert, as usual, was dressed flamboyantly, with her bodyguards surrounding her. Her murderous gaze locked onto Lucy and Jane, as she remembered the humiliation she suffered from them that day at the mall.The worst part of all this was that someone secretly took her video that day and posted it online, making her a laughing stock among the New York socialites. She had locked herself up in her room for two days, crying at how netizens were mocking and cursing her online. She had vowed after then that no matter where she saw these two vicious women seated in front of her, she would pay them back tenfold for what they did to her.Lucy was pissed off at Iris’s interruption. After the day she had picked on her for nothing at the mall, she did some research on her and found out her name was Iris Robert, the heiress of the Robert group, whose father had spoiled her rotten since her childhood.Seeing that Lucy was almost losing her temper, Jane held her hand across the table, calming he
As soon as the ambulance that was carrying Lucy stepped into the hospital building, Dylan, who had rushed to New York's first hospital as soon as Jane called him with Lucy’s phone rushed forward. As Jane and the policeman alighted from the ambulance, Lina was also carried out on a stretcher by the two paramedics who had been giving her emergency treatment in the ambulance, before she was placed onto the emergency stretcher waiting for their arrival outside the hospital.“Lucy, are you okay?” Dylan held Lucy’s hand in his as she was wheeled into the hospital building. His eyes were locked on Lucy’s body, trying to check for any sign of visible injuries. “I wouldn’t spare that bitch Dylan. She threw hot coffee on my face, trying to disfigure me.” Lucy cried as Dylan followed her to the emergency room. From Lucy’s not-too-clear explanation, Dylan was able to figure out what might have happened to Lucy. As he was about to ask for further explanation, Lucy had already been wheeled into t
“What did you just say?” Teddy stood up abruptly from his office chair, startling Ava, who was seated opposite him. Ava’s eyes flashed with panic as she knew that the only news that could make Teddy restless right now would be news on Jane’s whereabouts.“That slut,” Ava couldn’t help cursing under her breath. “Make sure you keep an eye on her. I’m taking the next flight to New York right away.” Teddy said, his body trembling with joy at the news that was shared to him.One of his men, who he had sent to go and take care of a business deal in New York, just informed him that he saw Jane, who he had been searching all over the country, for the past few months, at a hospital in New York.After he ended the call, Teddy didn’t care about anything else. All that was on his mind was how to get to New York as soon as possible. He took his coat off from the coat hanger and stormed out of his office.Ava was surprised to see Teddy in such a hurry just because of Jane . Her eyes burned with ki
New York.Jane, who was unaware that someone was secretly taking her photos, sending it to her ex-husband, Teddy, was busy, moving back and forth in the hospital hallway, waiting for news on Lucy’s surgery.Some hours passed before the red light on the operating room turned green. Not long after, Dr. Sophia and her team came out of the operating room. Jane rushed forward, trying to peep into the operating room, but the door was immediately closed.“Dr. Sophia, how is my friend? Is she okay?” Jane asked, her face full of concern for Lucy.“Miss Jane, it’s been a while. No cause for alarm, Miss Lucy is perfectly fine. Thanks to the first aid treatment, her scalded face wouldn’t leave a scar. In one week’s time, her face would return back to normal with intense care.” Dr Sophia professionally said as she removed her surgical gloves, thrashing them in the closest trash can beside her.Jane's racing heart finally calmed down as she listened to Dr Sophia’s words. “Thank you so much Dr Sophi
Singapore.Leonard, who was just coming back from an intense meeting that finished some minutes ago, walked into his office, his powerful footsteps echoing all over the place. He has not had the chance to sit when his phone that was in his chest pocket buzzed to life.His brows furrowed, his tiredness evidence from his sluggish actions. “I’m listening.” Leonard's tired voice echoed all over the room, but there was still an authoritative tone beneath it.“Sir, Mr Wilson is making his way to New York in the next few hours.” One of Leonard’s men inform him about Teddy’s departure from Los Angeles to New York.“What?” Leonard’s earlier tiredness was long gone. His body was exuding alert signals, his stand like he was about to go on a battle. His body was tense as his grip on his phone tightened. He would never allow Teddy to meet Jane. Not on his watch.“Mr Wilson is on his way to the airport as we are speaking sir.” Leonard’s man, who stayed in a hidden place, watching Teddy who was sitt
“I will be right back. Let me go and get you something to eat.” Jane said to Lucy as she covered her with the white blanket, trying to reassure her.Lucy nodded as she turned her back to Jane, still in a low spirit after their earlier discussion about Dylan. As Jane walked out of the quiet ward, she turned a corner, heading to the hospital cafeteria. Her footsteps were abruptly halted as she collided with someone. “Ouch…” Jane landed on her butt and a painful cry escaped her lips.Aaron, who collided with Jane, was shocked hearing that familiar painful cry. “Wait, isn't that cupcake?” Aaron murmured to himself, his gaze shifting to the figure he had collided with.Rubbing her sore backside, Jane raised her head in anger, trying to lash out at the person that collided with her for being blind. But the face that met with hers wasn't what she had expected.Jane's eyes widened in shock as she took in the familiar face of Aaron. Not in her wildest dream would she have expected to meet hi
Jane and Aaron stared at each other as they sat down in the hospital cafeteria. Jane was surprised at Aaron's earlier outburst. Was it a crime for her to be engaged? What if he knew that she was married before, would he lose his mind entirely?”“So, you are informing me that Leonard is your fiancé, cupcake?” Aaron was still in disbelief. Had he paid much attention to the name Leonard sent him earlier, he might not have been this shocked. He always called her cupcake, so her real name wasn’t in his mind at all. When he and Jane were schooling back in London, he didn't know that she was from New York, since they were always at each other’s neck, there wasn’t a day they discussed about their personal lives.Jane warily looked at Aaron, before she nodded her head in agreement, still puzzled at why Aaron's mood suddenly changed.Both of them went silent for a few minutes. The hospital cafeteria was filled with the sound of cutlery clinking on each other. Getting bored already, Jane stood
Eric drove with speed into the hotel where his team subordinates awaited his arrival. He immediately turned off the car engine and made his way out of the car. Leonard also followed suit. They quietly made their way into the hotel room his men had forward to him earlier. Leonard didn’t bother asking Eric any questions. Whether he asks or not doesn’t change anything. He would know everything when they get into the room.“Welcome Director,” Eric’s subordinates greeted as they reached the floor where the room was located. Eric nodded, acknowledging them.“Where is the culprit?” Eric questioned as the door of the room was flung open.“He is inside, Director.” The subordinate answered as he followed behind Eric and Leonard.“Who the fuck did you think you are? Let me go!” That was the yelling Eric and Leonard were greeted with as they entered the room.Leonard's eyes widened in shock as he saw the man whose hands were handcuffed. The man that was in front of him didn’t cross his mind at a
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
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
