When Sean came home from work the next day, he held her slender waist and said sweetly, "Are you still angry? I proposed to you with great difficulty and waited for you for so long, are you still going to ignore me?""Hmm, do you think someone's heartache can just go away? You can do sweet things, but if you make a mistake, it will still hurt me."I won't do it again!" Sean swore. Jenna only pretended to be jealous, but she was very happy and asked gently, "Do you want to go to my mom's house? Mom said she wanted to see the kids. Shouldn't you get used to communicating with my mom as well? After all, we're going to get married sooner or later."Jenna nodded, "I know," she said. "And about the wedding, can I invite my friends from Vancouver? They are very nice people. Whenever anything happens to me, they always help. When Oliver and Olivia were a year old, they had a high fever. It was raining heavily in the middle of the night and I wanted to take them to the doctor alone... There wa
The jewelry show was very luxurious and attracted many celebrities and superstars. As soon as Jenna got out of the car, she felt like she shouldn't have come. Everyone was so charming, free and relaxed, chatting and laughing, while she didn't know anyone but Sean.Sean seemed to sense her nervousness and hugged her, whispering, "Don't be afraid, follow me."I don't know them..." Jenna felt the urge to run. This was no place for her! She didn't want to be here."I know them. I'll introduce you."Sean had a high status and not everyone could come up and talk to him. In the past, when he was alone, some female stars would come to him to try their luck, hoping that Sean would fall in love with them. But today, seeing that Sean came with his girlfriend, those female stars didn't dare show up to cause trouble. Arriving at the event center, they immediately met with the organizers of the event and then shook hands with several CEOs.As Jenna listened to Sean introduce the names of these peo
That morning, Sean was busy in his office when his secretary informed him that a woman was looking for him.Sean said he didn't have time, but Taylor knocked on the door and said, 'Sir, I think you should meet this visitor." His assistant's expression was so ambiguous that Sean narrowed his eyes."Who is she?" asked Sean, looking disinterested.Taylor had just opened her mouth to speak when the guest they were talking about burst into Sean's room."Alexa," the woman said, saying her name and then looking at Sean, who was frozen. "You look very surprised, honey." She smiled, but it looked painful.In front of her, Sean couldn't even react. "A-Alexa?" he murmured softly in disbelief. Wasn't Alexa dead? In fact, he often visited her grave. How could this woman be standing in front of him now?"Yes, I am Alexa," the woman said again. "Why are you still there? Why don't you hug me? Don't you miss me?" Sean stood up and she immediately ran over to hug him."Alexa?" That was all Sean could
When he thought about it, it was strange. Back then, when he was with Alexa, he almost never wanted to touch her. But maybe that was because they were so young.Until suddenly Sean woke up in Alexa's rented house and a month later she was pregnant. Obviously she was lying. Alexa made up the scenario so she could fake her death. This meant that they had never actually slept together.With an angry growl, Sean rushed up the stairs, slamming his foot on each step, opening the bedroom door violently, eyes burning, ready for a fight. He found Jenna sitting on the sofa, already changed into her nightgown and reading a book.Seeing Sean coming, Jenna raised an eyebrow at him, looking so calm, "What's wrong?"Sean gasped in anger, "That window!" He pointed angrily, then walked across the room and rudely closed the window, "Next time close the window tightly when it's late!!!" he shouted angrily.Jenna looked at Sean confused, "Why?""Because I saw you changing like an erotic silhouette from
Jenna sat thoughtfully in her room, all the words Lily had told her ringing in her ears. Stories about the beautiful and perfect Alexa and how much Sean had loved her in the past.In fact, Lily had never seen what Alexa looked like, but she only knew that when Sean returned to New York, he built a room that held so many memories of Alexa. He made the room look like it would be used by his ex-girlfriend."So all this time I was just a replacement for Alexa?" Jenna muttered sadly. "I even gave birth to his child. He even wanted to marry me. That must have been because he wanted to keep the memory of Alexa alive, right? So he thinks of Alexa every time he fucks me?"A pang of sadness rose in Jenna's chest. Sean held her close because her face was similar to Alexa's. It turned out that even Sean's overwhelming desire was not directed at her. She was just a substitute for the woman Sean really wanted."Honey, where are the kids?" Sean asked.Preoccupied with her thoughts, Jenna didn't not
The conversation with Jenna that night did not go so well. Jenna refused to believe that Sean would really let Alexa go because he loved Jenna. She thought that even if Sean did, it would be out of a sense of responsibility since they had two children.Jenna even contacted the wedding planner and said that their wedding had been postponed indefinitely."Sean, have you had lunch?" Alexa asked. She came to Sean's office again today, and Sean himself didn't know how to act."I'm going home for lunch with Jenna," Sean said, and he was lying, because earlier he had texted Jenna and said that he was going home for lunch, but Jenna had said that she wasn't cooking. But if Sean still wanted to go home, she would ask the maid to make him something to eat.No, what Sean wanted was not food from the maid, but he wanted the attention he was missing from Jenna."Sean, I'm back. You don't need her anymore," Alexa said, looking disappointed."Alexa, things are different now," Sean said. "I love Jenn
"Jenna, can I take the kids to my house? They want to go with me," Esther said as Jenna walked out of Sean's office. Jenna stopped in front of her car. "Okay, call me if you can't handle them." Esther laughed. "They're so nice and obedient. There's no way I can't handle them." Jenna laughed softly. "Okay then." She hung up and told her driver. "You go home. I want to go somewhere." "But ma'am, why don't I drive you?" the driver said, sounding worried that Sean would be angry with him. "It's okay. I'll take responsibility if he gets mad. You just go home." Jenna insisted, and the driver didn't dare say anything else, so he got into the car and drove off. Jenna texted Sean that she had somewhere to go and insisted that he not drive her. After sending the message, she turned off her cell phone and went to the house of a friend she knew from when she worked at a restaurant. Yes, Jenna had changed jobs before becoming a kindergarten teacher and then ending up in Sean's hands. Emi
Meanwhile. Sean had read the message Jenna had sent him about going without a driver, and the reply message he had sent Jenna hadn't been read because her cell phone was off. When he got home in the evening, it turned out that Jenna hadn't come home yet, and when he called Esther, her sister said that she was taking his kids to her house, and Jenna allowed it, but she didn't know where Jenna had gone. "Where is she?" Sean shouted and threw the phone. The phone hit the wall and broke into pieces. But he didn't care about the phone anymore. All he could think about was Jenna. Where is she? Is she safe? Has something happened to her? All these questions raged in Sean's head. A warm hand on his shoulder made him turn around. Lily's familiar warm brown eyes looked at him with concern. "Calm down, sir. Wherever she is, I know she'll be okay." She comforted Sean with her motherly voice. Sean smiled a little and nodded to ease his pain. He knew that he loved Jenna too. Jenna was like h
Family. The word itself gives us a sense of comfort. We know that there is someone out there who cares about us, who loves us, and who will do whatever it takes to protect us. Valeria didn't know if she had that kind of love in her past. Someone to rely on, someone to call family, but now she does. She has a happy little family. "Good morning Val," Benjamin's voice rang in her ear. "Over here." Valeria called from the kitchen where she was busy making pancakes. "Good morning to you too," she greeted with a smile as Ben walked over and kissed her on the cheek as he put the groceries down. Don't get me wrong, they were actually just close friends, best friends, but lately Ben's attitude towards her had become super caring, more than ever, and Jenna was starting to like him, not because he was her only male friend, but because Ben was always there when she needed someone by her side, and every woman looks for a man like that. "Val?" Benjamin said as he snapped his fingers in fron
Black, it is the color of darkness, of loneliness, of disorientation. This color was Jenna's only companion as she lay unconscious in bed. She could hear a soft beeping next to her, but what stood out the most was the throbbing pain all over her body. Her head hurt like crazy. There was a light weight on her arms, legs, and head. The only thing that was free was her waist. It hurt, it stung, it itched. She wanted to scream, to cry out, but she couldn't. Afraid of what would happen if she didn't get up, she began to concentrate on her fingers and tried to move them. Eventually it worked, and she took a break, because even though it was just moving the fingers, it took more energy than she expected. After a short rest, She used all her remaining strength to open his eyes. She groaned softly as intense pain pierced her skull, causing her to involuntarily close her eyes again. When the pain became unbearable, she opened her eyes again. The beeping sounded a little louder and fa
Black. Sean actually hated funerals because there were so many sad and hurt people, and here he was wearing black to the funeral of the person he loved the most. He still couldn't believe that Jenna was gone. Even though everyone in front of him was shouting 'she's dead', he still couldn't believe it, at least not in his heart. But her wrecked car, her burned body, the necklace around her neck that belonged to her mother, and then the ring on her index finger that she always wore seemed to give up hope that it wasn't really Jenna. So now they decided to bury her body next to her mother and father's grave, in the place she wanted. At that moment, Sean looked at himself in the mirror. There was a man in a black satin shirt, black pants and black shoes. His eyes were red and expressionless, and he had a newly grown beard. He couldn't recognize this man. This wasn't him, certainly not like him. She glanced at the row of ties lying carelessly in the corner of her closet. He told L
Sean stood in front of the window in his office and stared at his reflection in the glass staring back at him, confusion and uncertainty clouding his vision. He pulled his coat closer to his body and sighed heavily. He had no idea what he was doing or what was happening to him. He woke up this morning with a severe headache, and when it subsided, he looked around and frowned. He had a vague memory of what happened last night, but he didn't know if last night was a dream or not, but it definitely felt more than real. Even if it was a dream, he could tell that it was the scariest dream he had ever had. Even though there was only Jenna in his mind, last night he dreamed of himself kissing Alexa, then Aiden's car pulling into the gate and then driving away. Was Jenna there? Did she see him kiss Alexa? He vaguely remembered Alexa suddenly kissing him, but he let her. He hoped it wasn't real, mostly because he was afraid. Afraid that Jenna would be angry. She would think, what kind
Do you know the feeling when a bucket of water with lots of ice cubes in it is dumped on your head without warning and you want to scream, but your breath gets caught in your throat, restricting your vocal cords as the cold creeps into your bones? Yeah, that's what Jenna's feeling right now. No one was going to dump a bucket of ice on her head, but right now it would be much better than watching the events unfold in front of her. All of her previous resolve had simply vanished and probably burned up with the ashes blowing away in the wind. Sean and Alexa were standing in the doorway, or should she say they were kissing. Noticing the arrival of Aiden's car, they froze in place without blinking, and Jenna forcibly shifted her gaze from them to Aiden, who sat next to her, staring ahead with a sullen expression. "Are you going to watch them do it here or are you going to drive?" Jenna asked him with calm in her voice. Aiden nodded without looking at her and drove back and out the g
Jenna realized that even though she was wearing high heels, the fact was that Aiden was still taller than her. Jenna put both hands on his shoulders and they swayed to the beat of the music. Feeling a sharp look on her back, Jenna looked back and her eyes met Sean's as he stared intently at Aiden's arms wrapped around her waist. His grip tightened around Alexa's waist until she winced in pain. His eyes flicked back to Alexa and apologized for the pain he had caused. Jenna wondered if he would apologize to her for all the pain he had caused her? He used to be so abusive. He had even been rough with her in bed the last time they had made love. And look, he couldn't even stand to see Alexa in a little pain. Jenna looked back forward to meet Aiden's amused eyes. "What's so funny?" she asked as she turned her around and Aiden pulled her closer. "I was just wondering what Sean was doing," Aiden chuckled. "Doing what?" asked Jenna confused. "He's obviously not interested in Al
The car pulls up and like any other party, the paparazzi are the first to greet them with their camera lights flashing in full view. Jenna hides behind Sean and uses him as a shield to get her eyes used to the light. When she finally gets used to the light, she follows Sean and Aiden out of the car and runs toward the stairs. Jenna doesn't like posing for the camera, but Aiden disagrees as he takes her arm and makes her smile in front of several cameras. Jenna frowns at their intertwined hands, then Sean does something unexpected. He grabs her hand and pulls her to his side, away from Aiden and toward the large double doors that await their arrival. Jenna wanted to say that he shouldn't act like that in public, but she knew better than that what Sean was like. This man never liked to have his property touched by others, even if he was now too close to Alexa. Instead of arguing with him, however, Jenna let him drag her along. Soon they reached the large golden double doors, wh
The sun kissed her face warmly, as if to say, "Rise and shine." Lazily, Jenna turned over and pulled the blanket over her head. But suddenly she remembered that today was Saturday, the day of the charity event. She woke up with a start. Her brown hair was loose in front of her face. She didn't even want to look at it, because she already knew the condition of her hair, as if it had just been hit by a storm. She walked to the dressing table and tied her messy hair into a ponytail, then went to the bathroom to do her daily routine. "Ah! You're awake. Your dress will be here in a few hours. Get some rest and be at the venue by 6," Aiden said, starting to walk out of her room. "Is everything ready?" Jenna mumbled in front of her toothbrush, which was still covered in toothpaste. She didn't understand half of what Aiden said, but she seemed to understand. Don't ask how. "See for yourself," Aiden yelled and ran out before Jenna could ask or say anything. Jenna quickly did what she
"Seriously, Casey? I ask you to do one thing. One thing, and you can't get it done in time?" Jenna yelled angrily as she paced the kitchen, running a hand through her brown hair in frustration. "I'm sorry, Ma'am," she said in a shaky voice. "Tomorrow is the charity event, now what am I supposed to serve them?!" Jenna shouted again and hung up angrily. She was completely out of breath. She rarely got angry, and right now she was angry, stressed, and worried. It wasn't a good combination. How could things be so messy? Everything had been organized and Jenna should have been able to relax while waiting for the day of the event to arrive. But suddenly the caterer canceled the contract. Annoying laughter could be heard in the kitchen where Jenna was pacing angrily. She turned her head to the side and glared at Aiden, who was eating the tuna sandwich Lily had prepared for him. The man threw up his hands in surrender, but continued to laugh at her condition. After calming down, Je
