"Are you certain he's still staying here?" Nancy inquired, her eyes narrowed as she stood before the counter of the Saunders Hotel.

"Oh yes, I've heard that Yaacob is a VIP at the Saunders Hotel. Room 8808, you know how hard it is to book. I can't quite figure out this man's background, but I'd bet he's on par with your sleazebag of an ex-husband."

"I see. We'll talk again later."

"Wait, Ms. Lawson. About the fee for this information..."

"You don't get any money for this. I'll pay you if I succeed today!" Nancy snapped and hung up.

As she lowered her head to place her phone back in her purse, a few strands of her lustrous chestnut curls cascaded down her fair shoulders, revealing a circular scar above her shoulder blade—a memento of a car accident.

She straightened up and pulled out her makeup mirror to touch up her appearance. After tucking her hair behind her ear to hide the scar, she strode across the hotel's lounge area. The click of her eight-centimeter heels attracted a series of curious glances.

Nancy was wearing a bright red, tight-fitting dress that highlighted her perfect figure. The hem of her short skirt barely covered her hips, showcasing her long and exquisite legs. The way her body moved was enough to attract all wandering eyes to her.

However, her face was hidden behind sunglasses and a mask, not giving away a hint of her beauty.

It was only when she arrived at her target's door and knocked that she removed her sunglasses and mask.

After a wait of perhaps two minutes, the door to room 8808 opened. Nancy was instantly greeted by a strong, masculine scent.

Lifting her eyes, she was met with a naked man!

Her gaze lingered on the man's tight, attractive abs, following the shimmering sweat trail for a tantalizing three seconds before she cleared her throat and met Yaacob's deep eyes.

"Mr... Mr. Getson, do you remember me?" Nancy asked.

Yaacob, draped in a white towel and drenched in sweat, wiped his brow without replying.

Seeing that he seemed not to recall, Nancy gritted her teeth and reminded him, "Just a month ago, in this very room, we had... an encounter! You mentioned wanting to continue our relationship. I'd like to talk about that."

At this, Yaacob stopped wiping his sweat and seemed to remember her.

Ten minutes later, the two sat across from each other in the room. Yaacob was holding a pregnancy report from the city's primary hospital. His handsome brows arched into a mysterious expression. "You want me to... take responsibility for this?"

"Yes," Nancy nodded firmly, "I noticed you were interested in me last time, but I don't accept a lover's relationship without security. We must marry each other!"

With a practiced negotiator's poise, Nancy raised her voice, "Mr. Getson, take a good look at what you're holding. It's my pregnancy result, fresh from the hospital. I'm pregnant, and I've come to you for an answer!"

Yaacob set the papers down and leaned back on the sofa and smiled lazily. "Are you saying that the child is mine?"

    "Of course it's yours!" Nancy insisted, her voice cracking with a mixture of desperation and frustration. Her throat tightened as she looked at Yaacob's unbelieving expression, and she continued, her voice almost a whisper, "You should know that. That night with you... it was my first time, and it's only been you." A trace of a smile, barely there, could be seen appearing on Yaacob's face, but he didn't respond to her words. With a casual flick of his slender fingers, he pulled a cigarette from the box and lit it in front of Nancy, asking, "You don't mind if I smoke, do you?" He didn't wait for an answer before the flame caught the end of the cigarette. Nancy was rendered speechless. She watched him inhale deeply, then exhale a ring of smoke that seemed both suave and provocative. The air around her was gradually infiltrated by the crisp aroma of the cigarette. It was not unpleasant, but it was oppressive, leaving her feeling smothered and ignored. "Mr. Getson, are you even lis

    "The pregnancy test results are in your hands, Mr. Getson. It's not as if I could have faked them," Nancy stated, holding her ground. "Who knows?" The man's casual response caused Nancy's eyes to twitch involuntarily. In the next moment, however, she deftly brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, masking her fleeting moment of uncertainty, and met Yaacob's intense gaze with righteous indignation. "Mr. Getson, you're a man of distinction. You can afford globally limited luxury cars and own several publicly traded companies. Surely you wouldn't stoop so low as to make a scene just to escape this small compensation, right? I recall you have a fiancée. She caused quite a commotion here one morning. Your relationship seems rather unstable, doesn't it?" Yaacob's gaze, hidden behind a cloud of smoke, turned darker at Nancy's words. He looked at the woman before him with the same oppressive glare he'd given her earlier in the car. For a split second, Nancy felt as if an invisible han

    Nancy's eyes widened for just a moment, taken aback by what she had just heard. "Uhm… That night... You were wearing it at first, but then you forgot…" she stammered, attempting to explain herself. "Oh? When was that?" Yaacob responded with a mocking lilt in his voice as if he were determined to press her until she spilled the truth. Avoiding his gaze, Nancy looked at the fruit platter on the coffee table. "Things were a bit chaotic at that time. If you're asking for the specific timing, then… I don't know what to say!" Nancy refused to meet Yaacob's eyes. One of her hands curled slightly by her side, while the other unconsciously scratched her nose. The truth was, she could not really remember what happened that night. After all, she had been drugged. Her mind was foggy even before she entered the room. Furthermore, the lights were off too. However, one thing she was certain about was that Yaacob was not quite right either. When she was close to Yaacob, she could distinct

    Yaacob stated, "I need a wife. She must be intelligent, shrewd, and beautiful." "But don't you already have a fiancée?" Nancy looked at him doubtfully. "If you're better than her, I might choose you instead." Nancy's eyes danced with surprise and curiosity. The man had a complex gaze, an enigmatic maze that she could not decipher. Yet, one thing was clear. He was giving her a chance. She only had one goal in seeking Yaacob. She needed money to handle her legal troubles. As a divorcee for less than a month, she had not considered remarrying. However, the idea of marrying Yaacob, a mysterious figure rumored to have the power to turn the business world upside down, was not without its appeal. If the rumors were true and Yaacob was indeed that enigmatic and powerful figure she expected him to be, could he go up against Spencer? Could he help her reclaim everything that Teresa stole from her? Lately, anger and indignation had been Nancy's constant companions. Now that an opportu

  • Love Conquers All    Chapter 13 Prove It to Me

    Nancy had never encountered a man like Yaacob before. Even when Spencer, her past love, had rejected her, he had always done so with courtesy and grace. However, Yaacob exuded a fierce and aggressive aura that could instill fear in anyone who came close. He was a storm of malevolence and demand, the very embodiment of predatory danger. At that moment, Nancy felt like prey caught in the claws of a ravenous wolf, ready to be devoured at any moment and immobilized under his overpowering influence. 'Was it really the right decision to approach Yaacob for the money?' Nancy wondered, already tinged with regret. She had only met Yaacob twice. The first time was purely an accident, and the second time brazenly seeking his attention. Nancy felt that luck was never on her side. Instead of winning the lottery, she was more likely to fall into a trap. As she hesitated, wondering whether to push away the increasingly intrusive man pressing down on her, the room's sultry atmosphere was abruptl

    Nancy could not shake the feeling that Yaacob's deep voice possessed some sort of enchanting power. Every time he spoke, coherent thought seemed to elude her. As she stood, the urgent knocking at the door felt like the summons from the reaper itself. Right as she turned her head slightly with the instinct to answer the door, Yaacob's hand suddenly fell over her shoulder. His right hand tightened just enough to send her dress strap slipping down her arm. "Go now," Yaacob said, his voice tinged with a hint of malice. Nancy gritted her teeth. As she opened the door, she was greeted by a beautiful young woman standing outside. "Get… son...?" Yoana Yack stammered, shocked to see Nancy instead of Yaacob, leaving her with words stuck in her throat. Yoana's shock soon turned to displeasure when she noticed Nancy's disheveled appearance. "Who are you? Why are you in my fiancé's room?" Yoana demanded. Nancy did not respond but simply wiped the corner of her lips. Her red, lusci

  • Love Conquers All    Chapter 15 What Kind of Drama is This?

    Nancy's words struck Yoana like lightning, causing Yoana's face to contort violently in surprise. A month ago, when she had come to catch a cheating partner, something had seemed off. At the time, a mob of reporters had rushed in to cause a commotion, and she had fled the scene without thinking too much about it. But now, as Nancy spoke, a disturbing realization began to dawn on Yoana. Nancy was not the escort girl that she hired that day. 'But if that's not the case, then how did she know what happened?' Yoana wondered, her eyes flickering in alarm. Avoiding eye contact with Nancy, Yoana looked away, confusion and suspicion etched across her face. "I… I don't know what you're talking about," she stammered. Nancy, her voice edged with the triumph of a detective cracking a case, responded, "A month ago, you came with people to catch a cheater, and without asking anything, you slapped me, assuming that I was having an affair with your fiancé, Mr. Getson." She continued, "You repe

    "Shut up! I don't understand a thing you're saying!" Yoana snapped, interrupting Nancy, fearing that she might reveal more embarrassing truths at any moment. However, at this stage in their fiery confrontation, was a single rebuke really going to silence either woman? Nancy ignored Yoana completely and addressed Yaacob instead, "I remember something strange about your body temperature that night. Were you, like me, a victim of someone's secret plot? You had just returned to the country then, so news of you staying here couldn't have spread widely. The person who drugged you should be someone you already know." Yaacob seemed oblivious to her words, still savoring his red wine leisurely. Nancy frowned. Yaacob was absolutely sly and cunning. He told Nancy to handle it but refused to interfere. Was he not the one who stirred up this fight between the two women in the first place? Even without his response, Yoana's face had turned white with rage, much to Nancy's relief. Yoa

This time, Randall flexed his financial might again. He pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet and put it on the counter. "Boss, we want an entire floor.""Sir, do you want one room or two?""The whole floor!"Hearing what Randall said, Rowena looked at him in amazement.

He just felt that it was too dangerous for the child to be there.Rowena, however, felt like she was being blamed for no reason."Why are you in a restaurant with this girl in the middle of the night?" Rowena asked Randall.Randall did not answer. He walked forward to help secure Dorothy before he took the dangerous weapon off her hands."Rowena, you should bring Sandy back for now."Rowena did not move."It's too dangerous for the both of you to be here. Listen to me!" Randall told her.Rowena did not respond. Instead, it was Dorothy who spoke: "Mr. Smith, why do you think she can just come and go as she pleases? I already told my subordinates that not even a fly is allowed out."Even though Rowena had been captured, she knew that they would not be able to walk free if anything happened to her so the man would not touch her so easily."Mrs. Browning, you just wanted to talk with me."Dorothy really liked talking to

Could it be that Yaacob has returned earlier than expected?"

The subordinate hesitated before providing more details.Rowena, who had given birth just four months ago, had swiftly regained her pre-pregnancy figure.
