"I've heard from Liam that things are going much better between you and Jacob. Have you decided to focus solely on your relationship with him instead of worrying about others?" Summer asked, her brush gliding across the canvas.

"So Liam is your spy now, huh?" Stefani joked.

"Everyone is my spy in Carter Group. Even I don't show up, I have many eyes and ears! I will know everything!"

They were at the beach, painting in the early hours of the morning. It was Sunday, and Stefani and Jacob didn't have work.

Stefani chuckled at her mother's comment, continuing to paint as she replied, "I'm not entirely sure, but all I know is that I'm happy with him now and I don't want that to change. Everything just feels right... and I don't want that to end."

"Oh, sweetie, those are just the words of someone experiencing love for the first time, aren't they?" Summer grinned, pausing her painting to face Stefani. "But everything comes to an end. Everything needs their end."

    "Ahh..." Stefani let out a soft whimper, her delicate lips parting as Jaxon's hand slowly made its way from her stomach to her chest. His touch was warm and commanding, but he knew he had to be patient, not wanting to frighten her.His voice was barely a whisper as he murmured, "So soft..." His lips grazed her earlobe, sending shivers down her spine."Ugh...!" Unable to contain herself any longer, Stefani released a breathy moan, completely lost in the pleasure that consumed her.

    "Fuck! You're so tight, babe," Jacob said as he thrust inside Stefani.Stefani was completely lost in the pleasure, unable to hear Jacob's words anymore. She held onto him tightly, as if her life depended on it. Jacob's movements became faster, intensifying the heat coursing through her body."Oh, faster... Ahh!"Jacob whispered in her ear as he licked and sucked on her neck, "Do you like it?""Y-yeah. Yes... I don't know..." Stefani's voice was hoarse. "Sh-shit!"Jacob chuckled at her reaction, becoming even more aroused.

A warm liquid flowed within her, and she instinctively touched her stomach, locking eyes with him. Exhaustion took over, and her eyelids eventually closed.The next morning, Stefani woke up to find Jacob no longer beside her. She was already dressed in pajamas. Glancing at the side

    Stefani arrived at the coffee shop near the Carter Group, eager to meet Frederick. As she entered, she spotted him sitting patiently, lost in thought while sipping his coffee. His eyes seemed distant, as if burdened by an unsolvable problem.The sound of the glass door opening caught Frederick's attention, causing him to turn towards Stefani. A smile spread across his face as he rose from his seat to greet her warmly."Stef, I apologize for intruding on your busy schedule. I appreciate you taking the time to meet with me," Frederick said, pulling out a chair for Stefani to sit.Stefani simply nodded, not in the mood for casual conversation, knowing that their discussion would revolve around Shaira."Uhm... so, what do you like to order—""Let's get straight to the point, Uncle," Stefani interrupted, her cold gaze fixed on him. "We're both busy, so I'd appreciate it if we could skip the small talk and address the matter at hand."Frederick fell silent, a wave of guilt washing over him

    Upon hearing the man, Stefani's memory was jogged, bringing to mind the words spoken by Liam and Summer. Liam had informed her about Jacob having a twin, while Summer had emphasized the seriousness of the Hansley Family's reputation in the business world. Additionally, she recalled Summer's mention of the arranged marriage orchestrated by Senior Hansley, where the old man had the authority to select a suitable partner for his children and future generations.In an instant, Stefani's throat grew dry, rendering her unable to swallow. Although Jacob spoke with conviction and assured her that he would never leave her, an unsettling fear enveloped her, as if impending doom loomed."Primo, I can't accept grandpa's offer. I appreciate that he is willing to embrace me as part of the family and that I am welcome to return, but I cannot agree to his request for me to divorce my wife and marry someone I haven't even met!" Jacob's voice had a hint of frustration."But do you really want to conti

Though she longed to flee, all she could do was succumb to her nerves.As the sun beat down on her face, Stefani mustered the courage to enter the hospital and approached the front desk to inquire about Shaira's room."Miss Miller is currently in the emergency room. Please proceed to the second floor," the front desk attendant informed her."Thank you," Stefani replied, her response barely audible. Doubt began to creep in, eroding her confidence. She couldn't help but feel responsible for Shaira's current condition.Ascending to the second floor, Stefani was immediately greeted by the presence of Emily, Frederick, and... Jacob.Initially taken aback, as Jacob had mentioned he would be meeting her mother, Stefani and Jacob locked eyes. Surprise was evident in both their gazes.For a moment, they remained frozen, until the doctor emerged

    Jacob clenched his teeth and jaw, his gaze fixed on Stefani in his peripheral vision. Although he wanted to decline without hesitation, he hesitated at the thought of upsetting Stefani by leaving with her. He sighed, feeling the weight of Emily and Frederick's anticipation for his response. Meanwhile, Stefani regained her composure and took hold of Jacob's hand, her heart heavy and her breaths labored."Aunt," she began, her voice heavy with emotion. "I want to help you, but sharing my husband with her is not only a mistake in the eyes of society but also in the eyes of God. I would consider it if we only had to convince Shaira, but asking Jacob to pretend to love her is beyond what I can accept."Emily grew anxious, fearing that Stefani would back out despite her apparent willingness. "But it's just an act, Stef—"Stefani cut her off, her tone sharp. "That doesn't give you the right to disrespect me! How could you make such a request knowing that I am his wife?

    Stefani let out her 10th sigh in a row as she set down her documents. She nibbled on her lower lip and glanced over at Jacob, who was already looking at her with warm, concerned eyes. Despite his worried expression, she simply flashed him a smile and was about to return to her reading when he suddenly got up and walked towards her.Placing a chair next to her, he gently lifted her chin so she would meet his gaze. Locking eyes with her, he inquired, "You've been sighing a lot today. I noticed you seemed distracted during the meeting earlier. Is everything okay?"Stefani averted her eyes, nervously playing with her fingers as she recalled Shaira's words. She knew she shouldn't let those thoughts bother her, but an unsettling fear gripped her heart. What if Jacob forgot about her...Deciding it was too absurd to bring up with Jacob, she simply shook her head. "Nothing... I just have a headache and can't focus."Jacob studied her carefully, clearly not convinced by her explanation. Changi

    The night sky was engulfed in darkness as the towering skyscrapers illuminated the city. Stefani and Jacob reached their destination without any issues, yet Stefani couldn't shake off her unease. It felt as though someone was observing them, despite her attempts to dismiss these concerns.Upon entering the room, Jacob inquired, "Are you okay?"Stefani halted in front of the wide-open door, surveying her surroundings with cautious eyes. She contemplated speaking up but ultimately decided that her worries were trivial. She closed her mouth, shook her head, and replied, "It's nothing."As Stefani sat on the bed and observed Jacob's stance, she couldn't help but ponder a question that had been weighing heavily on her mind. "Jacob… is it possible for someone to forget someone they truly love? And if so, can't the heart recognize who it truly… loves?"Jacob stood frozen, slowly turning his head to face Stefani, who appeared distant and lost. He responded, "Certainly, the heart and mind can

    The sun was just starting to rise, casting a golden glow over the city, but Stefani had been up for hours.

    The gentle breeze rolled off the sea, carrying with it the salty freshness of the ocean. The sun hung low on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the pristine sands of the island they had just arrived on. It felt surreal to Stefani—the beauty of the place, the laughter of her children echoing in the air as Ethan and Elara chased each other down the shore.

    It was a Wednesday afternoon when Stefani sat by the window, staring out at the garden while Elara and Ethan played outside. Their laughter echoed through the yard, but Stefani couldn’t find it in herself to join in. Her mind was miles away, consumed by the growing distance between her and Jacob.Days had turned into weeks since their last conversation about his workaholic tendencies, and though Jacob had apologized and promised to do better, nothing had changed. He was still coming home late, still missing family dinners, and still buried in projects that seemed more important than their family.The door opened, and Jacob walked in, looking as exhausted as ever. His tie hung loosely around his neck, and his shirt was wrinkled from a long day at the office. He glanced at Stefani, his eyes filled with that same apologetic look she had grown used to."Hey," he greeted her, dropping his briefcase by the door. "Sorry I'm late again. The meeting ran longer than expected."Stefani sighed, h

    Stefani sat at the dinner table, her eyes tracing the empty seat across from her. The warm glow from the chandelier above felt dim compared to the brightness that used to fill their family meals. It wasn’t the first night Jacob had missed dinner, but it felt like the hundredth. His absence weighed heavily on her heart, an unspoken distance growing between them.Elara and Ethan, now five, chatted animatedly as they poked at their food, their little voices filling the silence Jacob had left behind. Stefani tried to focus on their laughter, their joy, but her mind kept drifting back to the clock on the wall, ticking louder and louder with every passing second. Each tick felt like a reminder that Jacob was missing yet another evening with his family.“Mommy, when is Daddy coming home?” Ethan’s soft voice cut through her thoughts. His big brown eyes were filled with innocent hope, the kind that still believed his father would walk through the door at any moment.Stefani’s heart clenched. S

    Stefani sat by the window in their bedroom, watching the sunset as the soft orange hues danced across the horizon. The house was unusually quiet, save for the distant laughter of their children playing in the living room with their grandparents. She sighed, clutching her phone as her thumb hovered over Jacob’s contact.It had only been a few hours since she last saw him. He had left early in the morning for a meeting, and now the day was fading into night, with no sign of him returning. She knew Jacob loved her deeply, and she had no reason to doubt his loyalty. But still, the whisper of insecurities crawled into her mind ever since Olivia started working in his office.Despite Jacob’s reassurances and the fact that Olivia no longer bothered him, Stefani couldn't help but feel unsettled.
