The next day, Nancy woke up in her room.She was the only one there. Yaacob had left for work early in the morning.Things had been like that for a while now. Even though they slept on the same bed and shared the same blanket, they never interacted. After what had happened to Rosa, the situation had gotten worse.Yaacob seemed to be avoiding Nancy. Sometimes, she would not see him the whole day.Even if he was home, he would spend most of his time in the study, not returning to the room and using work as an excuse.It had been raining the past few days, and Nancy was worried that Yaacob would catch a cold.So, she took out a blanket from the closet and brought it to Yaaocb.She gently pushed the study door open and found the man sleeping on a chair.Nancy held her breath as she walked over, and she gently laid the blanket over him.He was tired and frowning even in his sleep.Nancy felt her heart ache and wanted to reach out to stroke his face but was worried that she would
"As we agreed, if I get Nancy, then I'll support you with all I have. That way, you'll at least have me and my grandfather from the Getson family. Even if Yaacob won't side with you, your chances of winning will be much higher.""I feel like the both of us get along quite well," Benjamin said."I think you just feel that way because we're both people who won't stop at anything to get what we want," Julian smiled, holding Nancy tightly in his arms. Shifting her to a more comfortable position, he continued, "I don't like being in someone else's house. After waiting for so long, I think there should be certain measures taken. Do you mind if I take her somewhere else?""Please."At Benjamin's command, none of his men dared prevent Julian from leaving.Julian carried Nancy away. When they got to his car, he put her in the passenger's seat.His eyes were fixed on her beautiful face, and he could not resist gently brushing a finger along her chin. He continued downward, past her neck an
"Don't worry. He's fine."Since she learned of how Yaacob had mistreated Nancy, Yvonne no longer bothered being polite to him, even though Nancy had explained that Yaacob had not been himself.He still wanted to divorce Nancy after going back to normal, so he was a heartless man in Yvonne's eyes. Every time he was mentioned, she wanted to roll her eyes."I heard that he's been very intimate with Harrison Keating's daughter lately. He's about to have his second spring. I guess he got over things faster than you did," Yvonne said."Oh."Nancy did not say much, putting down the dessert as she stood."Hey! Where are you going?" Yvonne grabbed Nancy's arm."Sleep."Nancy just wanted to sleep after eating.She did not show any emotion, but the moment she heard that Yaacob had another woman already, her heart shattered.Harrison's daughter? Was it a marriage of convenience?As she had thought, Yaacob had it much easier in the business world without her by his side.'Nancy, oh, Nan
Nancy did not encounter Yaacob at the mall.Instead, she met Xander outside Yvonne's house.It seemed that the man was still following her. There was no way he would have found her otherwise.It had been almost two months since she had last seen him, and he seemed a lot skinnier. He had heavier eyebags as well, and it looked like he had not slept well for a long time.He started to walk toward Nancy, and the smell of cigarettes was heavy on him. She stepped back.To Nancy, Xander had always seemed like a man who lived freely. There was no way he would be driven crazy by a woman.After he had gotten the Yale family fortune and left the marriage that had disgusted him, he should have gotten a new lease on life and completely turned his life around. Yet, he seemed abnormally despondent.He would always say something mean to Nancy when he saw her. This time, however, he was silent. He just thrusted something at her."What do you want?"Nancy took another step back in alarm when he
Nancy had planned on moving out of Yvonne's home the next day. Yaacob had given her the house at Amethyst Coast, but Nancy was not mentally prepared to stay there. In truth, Nancy did blame herself for Rosa's suicide. After the divorce, she felt that she did not deserve any alimony from Yaacob.She had her own savings anyway. She could just be a bit more thrifty. In the future, Nancy planned on putting all her effort into the Lawson family's company.Once she completely cut ties with that man, things might go better for her."Nancy, just stay with me. No one else will send you food whenever you're in a bad mood.""That's fine. I won't let myself starve."Nancy felt like what Yvonne was saying was not really enticing her to stay.However, Yvonne really did want Nancy to stay. She was about to try another tactic, but she got a call from the company.When Nancy finished packing her things, she went to say goodbye to Yvonne. That was when she accidentally overheard what Yvonne was
"What kind of sicko is that person to drug her with this kind of drug?"It's her choice how she behaves in bed. She shouldn't be forced to act like a cat in heat and be manipulated into all kinds of positions against her will. What a waste!"While Nancy was slowly waking up, she heard a man's voice. She was shocked and quickly checked if her clothes were still on her. Luckily, they were. She was just a little cold.Then she noticed she was lying on a bed with ice packs beside her hands and waist.All of a sudden, the man who was speaking approached her. Nancy moved back to distance herself from the man."Don't be scared. You're all right now."Nancy looked up and saw the man was wearing a white robe. It seemed like he was a doctor. A young and good-looking doctor.Just then, the door opened. It was Benjamin."Nancy, are you all right?" Benjamin asked.Nancy was relieved to see him. The last thing she remembered before falling unconscious was seeing a group of reporters dashing
"Hey, Yvonne. Can you please monitor Teresa for me? And find out when she contacted your company," Nancy asked."Okay!" Yvonne agreed.As she ended her call with Yvonne, Xander called Nancy before she could put her phone down."Hey, Nancy. Are you at home? I bought some baby stuff, and I want to send them over," Xander said."I'm not at home," Nancy replied."Then can you tell the management that I'm coming over and ask them to open the door for me?" Xander asked."You saw how big my house is. It's just large enough for one person to stay. Do you really want to send that stuff over and clutter my space?" Nancy asked."No. These are consumable items, and they will finish very soon because they're twins," Xander said.After getting lectured by Nancy, Xander realized what an idiot he was. He did not even know if Anne was having a boy or a girl. He had gone home and looked everywhere for Anne's report. Then he had gone to the hospital to ask the doctor for it and had found out Anne
"Nancy, I really don't think you should blame yourself for Rosa's death. You're not the one who posted those photos. You did nothing wrong. If Yaacob can't let it go, then it's his problem. You did not kill Rosa. She killed herself. This is no murderer. The Getsons just need to find someone to blame to vent their anger!" Spencer said."I get it if that's how other people think of you, but Yaacob… He's your husband. He's the one who's supposed to know you best. But he chose to divorce you. I guess Yaacob is not as smart as I thought. There are times he makes the wrong decisions, too," Spencer continued.What a surprise it was to feel better after listening to Spencer's consolation. It was an experience Nancy had never expected.Maybe Spencer was actually very happy with the current situation. Many people had said what a stupid thing he had done to divorce Nancy. Now, he finally got to be the one who criticized. He made sure he made good use of it.Since there was nothing much to fin
