Lorain's POV"We already shipped everything, if you can check it right now and see if something is missing then please inform us immediately so we can do our best to fulfill our duty," I said seriously in front of them, compared to before, Jake's grandfather and uncle became quieter.It was actually better, but I don't know why I feel the way I do, I feel uncomfortable every time their stares land on me. Once again, I noticed Jake's uncle grinning at me."That's good, I think that the people in the department have already checked the materials and nothing is missing. Our project is almost finished and I'm happy, I mean the partnership with you guys is smooth." Jamie answered.I noticed something else, apart from the silence of the two, Jamie's behavior seemed to be limited unlike before. Even though his speech has become soft, they don't often fake smiles anymore.I know that I don't have the right to interfere and worry about her but I can't help it, what if like me she also experien
When I went down to the lobby, I found Raziel surrounded by three women, who were happily talking to him. It was obvious from how their cheeks blushed that they were excited while talking to him, especially when one of them had the chance to hold Raziel's arms."Ahem!" I couldn't stop myself from clearing my throat so loudly that even those on the other side of the lobby looked at me. I ignored that and walked closer to Raziel, "Jamie and I are done talking but it looks like you are the one talking about something important, should I go first?"I ignored the three women on the side, I waited for Raziel's answer. The shock in his eyes was obvious, but a smile slowly appeared on his lips as if he were so happy. "Well, it's not really important. They're just asking about something, come on?” he offers his hand in front of me.I looked at the three women and smiled, "don't you have anything else to ask him?" I tried not to sound flat as I said that, but they quickly shook their head in re
"Give way, move!" One of the people standing next to me shouted as they lifted me onto the stretcher, I couldn't understand much of what they were saying, my head was still heavy. All I want is to see Raziel.Unfortunately, I couldn't move my neck properly to turn around, other parts of my body were also numb."The other one, the man in the driver seat that was hit by the car, have you taken out the—it’s close—the blood--" Their voices were weak and broken, I wanted to hear properly about Raziel.I tried to open my mouth and I did, but no voice came out. Instead, I feel how dry my throat is and how it hurts when I try to speak.One of them looked at me and grinned, "You will be fine, just don't move." He whispered and grabbed something from his pocket, he opened it and revealed to me the syringe filled with liquid.“A-Aah…” I wanted to stop him and ask what it was but I didn't have the strength to do so. Almost only the two of us knew what he was doing."Don't worry, it doesn't hurt."
Jake's POV"Grandpa, did you do it?" My hands were tightly clenched under the table while I was in front of Grandpa, the first time I heard what happened to Lorain was enough to turn my world upside down. I really wanted to go and ask them, I want to confirm if my family has anything to do about it.But doing it might cause more harm to her, I don't want to come clean because if my suspicions are correct, I am the main reason why she was put in danger again.Grandpa lowered the newspaper he was holding, his eyes were serious, and looked at me evilly. "Are you accusing me?" the anger in the tone of his voice was obvious."Not like that, that's why I'm asking you to find out if you really had nothing to do with what happened—"He hit the table hard, "You haven't accused me of that situation yet? If you really didn't think I had anything to do with that accident then you wouldn't be here asking me nonsense in the first place!”His voice echoed in the dining area, the servants around him
Jake's POVWhen I entered the shop, I received repeated greetings, but I couldn't smile. Right now, I don't know how to stop the anger building up in my chest, even though I haven't seen Jamie yet, I can feel my muscles shaking."Where is she?" I quickly asked as soon as I approached her secretary who was standing on the side, as before there was no change in his treatment of me. I can feel his hostility, but we both can't do anything."Inside, shopping for a design of curtains to be used in the venue." His voice was cold and he quickly looked away from me."Then why are you here, why didn't you accompany her inside?" I asked again even though I knew he didn't want to talk to me.He looked at me again and glared as if I had said something that was not a funny joke, "Why should I accompany her inside to go shopping when in the first place I'm not the one to marry her?" His cold voice turned sarcastic.There were a few people close to us who looked, I just shook my head because of his a
Jake's POVI was deafened by her slap, but I heard almost every word she said afterward clearly, at that time it was as if I had been doused with freezing water. How can I even say those words?What's the difference between me and Grandpa if I also look at people based on their state in life, "I'm sorry, I—" I couldn't finish what I was going to say because I knew that when I said it, I didn't mean it to say that would sound like an excuse.Even if the situation is reversed, those are the words that came to my mind and I can't change that, and I hate myself for that."No need to say sorry, you already said it." She answered me annoyed, when I was about to hold her by the arm, a hand stopped me."Don't touch her, now you're going to help her arrange YOUR wedding and you're still like that?" He said sarcastically, this was the first time he had done it in front of other people.He stood there as if he didn't care what other people would say, he held my hand tightly and didn't care even
Jake's POVI could feel my whole body getting cold as I walked down the hallway to the room where Lorain was resting, I honestly didn't dare to face her right now.So, I know who is to blame for why she is now in the hospital, but I can't bring Jamie to the police."I'm just here for you, Lorain. No matter what happens, even if it costs my life, I will not abandon you." My hand stopped in the air as I was about to turn the doorknob when I heard the man's voice inside saying those words."Raziel, many women like you. Are you serious that you are ready to mess up your good life just because of someone like me?” Now I heard Lorain's voice, it was full of sadness that made me clench my hand and put it down.Once again, I hurt her. Even if I didn't hurt her directly, I was still the reason, I wanted to hug her. I should be with her now and taking care of her, why is that man here again?“I'm sure, Lorain. I am serious about my feelings for you, no matter what you say I will not let go. Esp
Lorain's POV"All the models, please get ready. The show will begin after 10 minutes, all the possible investors and bidders are already outside.” The organizer of the event told the models that they were now wearing the gowns that they would ramp up later.It's seven o'clock in the evening, and the air is quite cold. I feel every kiss of fresh air on my skin while waiting for other attendees outside the building, this is the event I've been waiting for the most.I looked at my own reflection at the door of the building, I'm thankful that I didn't get seriously injured when we had an accident otherwise, I wouldn't be here today and I wouldn't be able to see our fabrics that are admired by many.I'm aware that what they see most is the design of the wedding gown, but I still want to hear at least a few compliments about the fabric used by the company."Lorain, why are you out there?" He came to me and held me by both arms, "Your skin is getting dry, why haven't you come inside yet?" He
