[Part. 4]
"Why did you complain to your dearest sister, huh?" Jess fumed as she entered Fathia's luxurious house, where her friend was holding an adorable baby that made Jesslyn feel like she was being pricked by a thousand thorns.
No, she wasn't jealous of Fathia's happiness at all. She was part of the enjoyable things for Jess. Including... Gwen. Jess quickly pushed away the discomforting feeling. She didn't want to lose her smile and cheerfulness. She couldn't be selfish. Life had to go on. Everything was over, and there was no room for regrets, right? It should be like that. Although in reality, Jess often cried alone in her apartment when she remembered... what had happened in her life.
"Oh my goodness. You're already mad just coming in." Fathia shook her head briefly. "You'd better hold Gwen. I need to go to the bathroom."
Jess blinked. Without much talk, Fathia immediately handed Gwen over to Jess. Then she hurried away. Leaving Jess confused, but really, when Jess

Three, no, four, ah... damn! Five objects now lined up on the bathroom sink in Jess's Beverly Hills apartment are her current focus. They all show almost identical results. Two lines. Jess's heart feels like it stops beating for a fraction of a second, causing an unusual choking sensation."This is insane," she mutters under her breath. "It was just last night... oh, damn it. The whole night, actually. But it was relentless." Jess massages her temples, releasing the frustration that suddenly engulfs her head. "What should I do, dear God!"No. No. No.Telling Kenzo. Yes, that's the right thing to do. But Kenzo? That annoying guy? Argh! Jess half screams in disbelief because she never expected that they would actually stick together that night. As if they were each showing how they both had their own powers, making them overlook that something significant was lurking around them.Like right now. Jess is pregnant.But their relationship itself is very

"I'm serious, Jess. Marry me. Let's tell Mom that you're pregnant with my child. You can choose and plan the kind of wedding party you want. When can I meet your parents? This issue can't be postponed."Jess's hand, holding her coffee cup, stopped moving. Her eyes turned back to the man she had been trying to kick out but who had remained seated. In the living room she had turned into her workspace because she suddenly received a call about something that needed to be reported."I've made my decision, alright? Don't question it.""Is marrying me that terrible?"Jess could see Kenzo taking off his glasses. For some reason, when he wore glasses, he looked much sexier in Jess's eyes. In this sense, his shirt always hugged his body nicely. Jess had to admit that Kenzo had a handsome face. His body was tall and well-built. And it seemed like he frequented one of the fitness centers. Jess could tell that without asking too much.Moreover, since earlier,

"If you want to turn right, can you give clear instructions?"Kenzo, who was replying to one of his clients' messages, furrowed his brow in confusion. His mother had left, leaving the two of them in an awkward situation. How could they not be awkward? Jess was left helpless with a lot of implied messages and a load of attention she was receiving."What do you mean, Jess? I don't understand."Jess frowned in displeasure. "What did you say to Mom?"A thin smile played on the man's lips. He set aside the phone that had captured his attention since earlier and this time, he chose to get closer to the girl sitting in the middle of the bed with pursed lips. Her eyes looked very annoyed, and her face switched back to a fierce mode."I told her you're pregnant."She squeezed her eyes shut while massaging her temples. She tried her best to rid herself of the growing frustration in her heart, but it was almost unbearable. "You're asking for trouble!"

"It's my home. My world. And I don't want to leave them. Regardless of whether you think the house is small or if you can rent another apartment for me to stay in, you can watch over me as you please.""I'm worried about your condition, Jess. There's no other intention. I understand that you work here. But when you lived in New York City a while ago, everything was fine, right? No problems, right?"Kenzo was right in giving his opinion. Because from what he saw, it was indeed like that. Everything Jess did always went according to her wishes. Also, the people who worked under her could cooperate well. Her leadership style, in Kenzo's eyes, seemed different."What's the difference between you living with me in Metropolis and you living in New York City a while ago?"Jess huffed. "That's not what I want. You're imposing something. I hate being forced.""So, what do you want then?" Kenzo asked, exhaling deeply. "I can't leave you here alone while I ha

Jess returned to the room that had become her private sanctuary. After the silly hug Kenzo gave near the garden, she quickly let go. She chose to flee like a teenage girl who had fallen in love for the first time. The unfortunate part was that Jess stiffened because the hug turned out to be warmer than she remembered. There was a ton of desire in her to reciprocate Kenzo's embrace, to share an unspoken feeling, but... no. Jess didn't want to do that.Their relationship was over. Completely over.Nothing had changed about the man she was so eager to remove from her life. For a year of not meeting, their communication could be described as very poor. Jess didn't want to initiate contact. For Jess, it was Kenzo who had decided to leave. Although she asked, it felt different if she was asked to go with him.Ah, ridiculous.Go with him? Who was Jess to Kenzo?Nobody. Oh no. There was one thing that could actually bind them; marriage. But Jess canceled i

"When, exactly, aren't you annoying?" Jess grumbled, her eyes giving a sharp glare to the driver of the sedan now cruising on the outer ring road of New York City. Since earlier, the man had been silent, and Jess wasn't interested in starting a conversation with him. However, when Jess inadvertently glanced at him, Kenzo yawned. "When in your eyes, am I ever enjoyable?" Kenzo asked, turning briefly. He smiled faintly and reflexively rubbed the side of the girl's head. "Just go to sleep. I can still drive to Beverly Hills, no problem." "You're sleepy, Ken," Jess whispered as she gently pushed Kenzo's hand aside. "Why do you like torturing yourself?" Jess's remark finally made Kenzo laugh. "Not torturing, Lyn. I have to make sure you get safely to your destination." "Mr. Dennish can drive me, you know?" "You're inconveniencing others." Jess sighed. "And now you're the one inconvenienced. Isn't it the same thing?" "I enjoy being i
Heir of Revenge [Part. 8]
For the past year in Malaysia, Kenzo's life had been monotonous. He did nothing but repeat the same routine day in and day out: wake up, shower and have breakfast, go to work, come back home, and sleep. Occasionally, he'd spend two to three hours at a coffee shop just to unwind. That was it. And it had been going on for the past few months.And now, as he arrived in New York City upon hearing that Jess was staying at Fathia's house, he felt like he was back in the same place. He had taken his accumulated leave days for a future visit, but because of this unexpected opportunity, Kenzo decided to return without much thought.During his year away, he had endured quite a bit of torment, especially the feeling of longing. When was the last time he felt this unusual emotion? It seemed like never. When he realized that Jess had a special place in his heart, he had grown accustomed to being around her. For some reason in the past, he had chosen to leave.When he opened

Jess was driving her car in quite a hurry. She had to stay calm, no room for haste, especially when it came to her childhood home. Even though she hadn't lived there for a while, don't ask how much she cherished all the memories inside.Wearing a short-sleeved mustard-colored shirt slightly tucked into her wide-legged jeans, and a tote bag with a big sunglasses print, her hair was tied up in a somewhat messy ponytail that actually added to her charm. Her large black sunglasses perched sweetly on her stylish nose. Only up to a meeting with the developers, which might turn contentious, as they hadn't reached an agreement in three months.And luckily, Jess visited there last week. Otherwise? Who knows what her fate would be later. It could be that after everyone agreed but she didn't, she would be forced to agree. Jess couldn't imagine if it came to that.Her mind was filled with sweet memories of living there. Preparing breakfast with Amah, going to school with Ap
