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!”

    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

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.

It's obvious that Jamie made sure to highlight the unique features of the bridal dress that is now being shown on stage.I hear different kinds of praise from the people around us, from the people on our side and even behind us. I can't stop myself from smiling even more if the praise I hear includes the fabric they used, it's always from us.As time went on, the surroundings got colder and colder, because almost a few hours had passed since earlier.

    "Well, well." His smile was wide as he walked into the room where we were, there was no trace of pity or anything on his face. Instead, he was very happy to see my condition, "That's right, you look better like that."The man in front of me stood up straight and bowed, "Good evening boss, as we talked about, we brought him here. Maybe we can get the rest of your payment because that's what we're talking about." His voice was polite compared to earlier when he was talking to me.John focused his attention on the man and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be too nervous, I will give my promise as the price of our conversation. But your work isn't done yet so I won't give the money yet.""W-What do you mean?" He asked curiously, even his colleagues were concerned. "The talk is that we will take her and give her to you, that's all we agreed about. After everything, you will pay in full.”"Well, the agreement has changed now." He smirked."Huh?!" The man asked annoyed earlier, "What change

    "Hurry up, move slowly!" One of the men pushed me in, not even caring about me. He doesn't care if I get hurt or not by the way he obeys me, I can't stop myself from giving him a bad look."What are you looking at?!" He asked and hit me on the cheek with the gloves he was holding, there was no sign of restraint because I could feel his palm which was now painful and hot.“Hey, hey! Take it, easy bro, our boss didn't say anything that we can hurt her, another thing is to look at her skin and face." He caressed my arm with his slightly rough fingers, "it should be taken care of like this." He even licked the area around his lips as if he was hungry.It was like I was poured with ice water because of what he said and did, I tried to distance myself from them but it was very impossible to do that. "Who ordered you to do this, tell me!" I screamed.The man immediately covered my mouth and slammed the door shut, "Look, do you want someone to hear you? You are beautiful but your mouth is so
