"Emily! You must not come out of this room or turn your back to me!" Emily's brow furrowed, not understanding what Jason wanted from her. "What do you mean?" the girl asked, starting to get annoyed. "You stay where you are, facing me!" ordered Jason. "You must not look away at all and must witness what Tamara and I are doing from start to finish!" *** Emily Karlton was forced to go through a marriage without being based on love with Jason McKennel, who was her adoptive brother. The feeling that should have been for Jared—Jason's brother, was misdirected. Especially when the head of the family and owner of the Kennel'z Industry, Charles McKennel, decided to a death sentence for both. Jason, who has been in a relationship with a married woman, finally obeys his father's wishes for power in the company but still lives his love story secretly. While Emily tries to be a good wife, Jared can't accept Emily's decision and continues to pursue it and struggles to take back what should belong to her. Emily tried to suppress any feelings because she felt she had to keep the good name of the McKennel family who had raised her. She tries to cultivate a love for Jason and take the man's heart. Will Emily manage to get Jason's heart, or will the relationship between the two have to end because there is no love growing between the two? . . Dear, all readers ...

View MoreThree months laterJason visited Emily and brought her a box of chocolates and a bouquet of her favorite flowers. Lili and Peonies that Jason still remembers today.Emily seemed happier than before, and of course, Jason's feelings also began to slowly calm down because he was freer to meet his son and spend time with Liam and Emily.She no longer rejects Jason's presence because she also needs him in Liam's care. She doesn't think of another love; her life is only for Liam now. She will do anything for her baby."Have you eaten yet? I brought your favorite food. Chinese food and spaghetti," Jason said with a bright smile.Seeing what Jason had brought and placed on the dining table, the two hazel eyes rounded."Seriously, Jase, this is a lot. Who's going to finish it?" asked Emily. "I'm on a diet."Jason chuckled at his ex-wife's words and got up and walked over to her, and grabbed both her hands."You still have to breastfeed Liam, and then your figure will return on its own.""What
In a different place, Jason repeatedly clucked and swore because Alex didn't come. Where did he go to relieve himself for so many minutes? Jason suspected that instead of going to the bathroom to relieve himself, Alex was meditating.Jason looked at the black clock in his hand. The long hand of the clock had changed to four. That meant he had been in his apartment for over twenty minutes."Where is he?" muttered Jason.Jason checked his cell phone. It was dead, so he couldn't use it to contact Alex. After charging it in the car, it finally turned on.Jason hurriedly searched for Alex's contact name. As soon as he wanted to call, three messages appeared from the person he was waiting for.Jason opened them. There was one slightly long video there. A little suspicious, Jason finally played it. In the video, he only saw a white image. Jason snorted in annoyance."What is he doing exactly." Just about to press the button again, Jason heard a voice. The white video finally changed, showing
Jason ignored Alex's words. At Alex's house, Jason had a heated argument with the man. Shila even had to break it up. Because of the woman's words, Jason left and returned to his apartment to get something. He was going to get ready to meet Jeffry.Who would have thought that Alex would follow him? Finally, the man stopped at the door of his apartment."Move!" Jason said for the umpteenth time but did not get a response from Alex. Alex shook heis head. "You want to get into more trouble? If there's anything wrong with Jeffry, he can deny all charges," Alex explained. The man's face looked solemn."Then, you want me to stand by while he manages to make Emily the victim of his physical and sexual abuse? You want me to stay silent and let him laugh out loud in the hospital bed?" Jason's eyes were full of flames of anger.Alex looked down because he couldn't bear to stare at the man's eyeballs, which seemed ready to destroy his through invisible lasers. Alex clenched his fists. Honest
Shila bit her lip. Her heart beat fast because the two people she was waiting for had disappeared. "What are they looking for? What took them so long?"Evil thoughts about her two friends immediately came to mind. Maybe they were caught and were being beaten up by the burly guards.Shila shook his head. Her heart almost jumped when she heard a noise next to her. She thought she was caught too, but it was far from it as she saw Jason and Alex.Shila then approached the two of them. "Are you guys okay? Did you make it?"Jason nodded. "Looks like luck is on our side. We managed to get the footage." Jason took the pen drive he had saved and showed it to Shila.The woman let out a long sigh. Showing that a heavy burden had just been lifted. Shila, who had been filled with fear, could now smile broadly. "Good. With that recording, Emily can get out of prison right away."Alex patted his shirt. "Before that, we have to see the video."Jason put his arm around Alex. He slipped the car keys in
The three people who had just arrived were invited to sit by a man wearing a black suit. Jason thought it was not the same suit he had worn last night. The man, who was in his forties, looked fit. However, a few gray hairs appeared in his hair."So, what's your plan?" asked Jason as he looked through the documents before him."You haven't introduced them to me yet," said Mark, full of awareness, then took turns looking at Alex and Shila.Alex hurriedly held out his hand as a sign of introduction and seemed more polite. "Ah, sorry. I'm Alex, Emily's best friend."Mark welcomed the handshake kindly. Seeing what Alex did, Shila also did the same."Sorry, Jason was probably too excited to investigate this case. So, he didn't have time to introduce the two of us." Shila smiled sweetly. "Oh yeah, introduce me to Shila, Jason, and Emily's best friend, the current suspect."Mark also greeted Shila kindly. "Okay. I'm Mark Jefferson. Jason's father's best friend and the detective he appointed t
Jason's idea then made the three people pay full attention to Tamara. From now on, Jason will take over the investigation of the woman. Meanwhile, Alex and Shila will look for something about Jeffry. Both are determined to make the man pay for what he did to their best friend."I'm going home.""What for?" Shila's brow furrowed. "What about Tamara? Don't you want to investigate on your own?"Jason nodded. "I am. But I'll ask my parents to contact Detective Jefferson. I didn't get a chance to meet them yesterday."Alex patted Jason's shoulder. "Alright. You can go home; we will look for information about Jeffry.""Good. Then I'll go now. You guys take good care of it."Alex and Shila answered together with confidence.Jason excused himself and headed straight to his parent's house. Yesterday, he didn't meet them because Jared's presence made him emotional. The man who had the misfortune of being Jared's brother chose to leave rather than cause a more complicated commotion. If not for J
Emily was indeed much safer at Alex's mansion. After Shila and Jason took turns visiting her today, due to the weekend, the four got together and discussed Liam.Jason, suspicious of Tamara, let her stay in his apartment with Aaron. However, with Emily in Alex's residence, Jason has to go back and forth between his apartment and Alex's house to ensure Emily is okay.After all, he doesn't know Alex, and anyway, Alex is a man who used to be very close to Emily. Even now, Jason still couldn't accept that fact."I can't say anything other than one thing; I'm keeping an eye on someone who might shed some light on Liam," Jason said as he reviewed the files on the report Jason had filed with the police. "They're not moving at all. Look!"Alex looked thoughtful as she heard Jason's words."Don't you think someone influential plays a role in this case? Who knows if it's true? I can confirm that Jeffry is the one," Alex said."You mean Jeffry paid the police not to investigate this case? This i
Tamara had just finished showering. She waited for Jason, who hadn't called her. "Where exactly is he? He hasn't even called me all day." Tamara scowled and headed for her dressing table. She looked at her reflection. Tamara saw a beautiful woman with a charming smile before her. Tamara liked the shape of her face. "No wonder so many men like me. Because I am beautiful," she praised herself. Reminiscing about the many men, Tamara could hardly believe that she had been in a relationship with Jason's brother-her current boyfriend. Tamara shook her head. The man was nothing more than an asshole. Tamara was too lazy to talk about it. Tamara stroked her belly. "It's probably a good thing me and Jared's baby wasn't born. Although I'm sad, there's no way I can hide that fact forever." Speaking of babies, Tamara remembered Aaron—Liam's new name, the son of Emily and Jason. Jeffry's words replayed in her head. She remembered clearly when Jeffry told her to get rid of Liam. The baby she now
Jeffry didn't care that his cell phone kept ringing. He continued to curse Emily. That crazy woman had the nerve to stab him. Jeffry alerted his two guards to help. It didn't take long for the two guards to find Jeffry still on the bed with a knife stuck in his body.One of the guards called an ambulance. About fifteen minutes later, the ambulance finally arrived and took Jeffry to the hospital.The man swore that he would make Emily feel even more pain than before. Because of him, she had gotten into a place she hated.***Elsewhere, Emily managed to reach a pay phone. She called Alex and told him about her situation. Of course, Alex was surprised when he heard Emily's story. Even though it was late at night, Alex immediately drove to take Emily to his mansion. Alex also called Shila to come over, as well as Jason.Now, the three of them were at Alex's residence. Shila cried when she first saw Emily's condition. She was only wearing an oversized shirt and shorts. Emily wasn't even we
The meeting was over. Emily looked around the room. There was herself and the complete McKennel family except for the big lady, Emma McKennel. Charles McKennel, the owner of the largest multinational construction company—Kennel'z Industry—said that he had something important to tell the entire family, including Emily, the McKennel family's adopted daughter. Charles blinks his eyes at Emily, who will be the center of attention because what Charles is about to say is about her. "Emily," called the middle-aged man while focusing on the girl who immediately straightened up when Charles called her name. "I'm going to marry you to my son," said a man with a calm but firm and authoritative intonation. Emily listened carefully to what the man who was the adoptive father and owner of the company she worked for had to say. Emily's face was as smile as ever, imagining the marriage she had long dreamed of with Jared, the eldest son of the McKennel family. Indeed, they have not officially en
