Emily still wants to live at the McKennels' residence, but Jason doesn't. Instead, he asked Emily to start living in the house today. Even last night, they couldn't rest in peace because they were getting ready, and both fell asleep on the same bed, in each other's arms. Something that had been impossible for a while but could have happened overnight. Emily still couldn't believe what she had just experienced, especially since Jason didn't feel awkward, as if he had established his closeness to Emily for a long time. That was true, but it was only as brother and sister. Now, Both have set foot in a luxurious two-story building with modern architecture and complete furnishings. Emily first headed into her favorite room, the kitchen, while Jason checked their bedroom and bathroom. “Em, come here, look at this!” Jason looked outside slightly so that his wife could hear his voice calling. Emily, who was all in the kitchen, rushed to her husband's place and found Jason in the bathroom,
Emily blinked as a ray of sunlight shone directly into her eyes from the window blinds. Beside her, Jason was still asleep and hugging her. All the things that happened are not a dream. Even though her whole body felt broken, she was happy. Jason didn't look as busy as usual because of the call and Tamara's arrival. All his attitude means he wants to build a real marriage with Emily, as he said before. Emily got up slowly and headed to the kitchen to prepare food for breakfast for the both of them. Jason had suggested they could have a maid, but Emily had refused. She can still do everything, like at Charles and Emma's house. Even though she is also busy with her job as a manager, she believes she can still carry out her obligations as a wife. "Good morning," Jason greeted while kissing his wife on the cheek before opening the refrigerator and taking a milk bottle. He poured two glasses for himself and Emily. “Hey, good morning. Do you sleep well?" asked Emily while her hands wer
Emily didn't care if Jason thought she was cheap and gave love too quickly. It's not like that in reality. Emily will only give it to people who are supposed to receive her love and devotion.Who else, if not Jason, is her husband?Even now, both of them were still frozen and silent; they uttered not a sound.Jason had told Emily he would work on it, but not this way. It will only be a burden for him. It will become a necessity for him in the end.“I already said that I would try, Em. You don't have to ask, or even don't force me. It's difficult to let go of someone from your heart, especially after just a few days."Excuses!For Emily, what Jason said was just an excuse, so he didn't have to fulfill what he had said before. Even though Emily asked, what's the matter? Hadn't Jason promised her first, and Emily soared high into the sky?“I'm not insisting. I'm just saying what I should say. Like it or not, we are husband and wife now. Shouldn't we be able to try to love each other?”Ja
Emily was already in the office and was supposed to take care of quite a lot of work, making her lightheaded. However, since arriving at the office this morning, she has not been able to concentrate well. Her head felt pain and made her bark all day. "Hey ... are you okay?" asked Shila, who had been in front of her and noticed since she was lost in thought. Emily sputtered and shook her head to provide answers to Shila's questions as well as to dispel thoughts about the events of the past few days. Jason's sweet demeanor, which turns brutal when he finds out Emily is talking to Jared on the phone, leaves Emily confused and unable to interpret the man's feelings toward her. "Yeah, I'm fine. I ... Shila—" Emily didn't continue her sentence but looked at her best friend sincerely. Shila immediately sat down opposite Emily and waited for the woman to talk about whatever was burdened on her mind. "What's wrong, Em? Did that bastard hurt you again?" repeated Shila, who hadn't gotten
Emily was only tight-lipped as she confronted Charles and Emma after Jason did what he threatened Emily. He was serious about it, and although it sounded childish, Charles felt proud of his son. What Jason did, as if it was what Charles coveted in the first place. He was sure that, at this time, the love in Jason's heart had already grown for Emily. However, Jason did not want to speak in front of Emily. He wanted the conversation to be between men only. In the end, Emily and Emma prepared dinner for the five and talked on their own while Jason remained in the study with Charles. "What do you want me to do to respond to your complaint, hm?" asked Charles to the son who would be the successor to the Kennel'z Industry business. It was a point of pride for Charles that one of his sons was willing, even enthusiastically, to hold the leadership milestone afterward. Charles had been disappointed once when Jared was not willing to accept the position Charles offered. After all, Jared i
Jason looked at Emily, who was tidying up their bed—after he had cleaned up and was ready to rest. Today was quite tiring for herself and Jason, especially when she had to face Jason's jealousy, which Emily somehow had to explain. The man looked sweet when he was overprotective but, at the same time, terrible. Emily lay with her back to Jason. She wasn't angry, just afraid of Jason's reaction to the decision from Charles that was ultimately delivered to them at the dinner table. Right in front of Emily, as well as Jared. Fortunately, neither Charles nor Emma heard the news of the commotion between Jason and Jared in the office. Although the faces of the two looked battered, neither of the old-man asked. It could be that they already knew; they just chose to keep quiet and not interfere. Jason was facing right and left, unable to close his eyes since earlier. He didn't know if Emily could sleep or not. Jason's face and whole body ached. Even his heart, too. Coupled with Emily's c
Jason enjoyed a coffee at 'The Cafe', Emily and Shila's go-to place whenever they wanted to enjoy a delicious cup of americano. Jason knew the place, too, from eavesdropping on the two friends' conversation when he passed in front of Emily's room. He wanted to know what kind of delicious standard, according to Emily. And in the end, he knew that Emily had a pretty high taste. Jason was about to leave the coffee shop when he bumped into someone and spilt hot coffee on the woman's shirt. "Ah! What are you looking at—Jason?" Tamara rounded her bead at the sight of Jason, who looked different in her eyes. He styled and trimmed his hair neatly, except for the fuzz that adorned his firm jaw, of course. The fuzz was Jason McKennel's attraction in Tamara's eyes. It turns out that Jason still retains what she likes. "You're here too? We are soul mates," she said as her hand traced Jason's suit. "Your suit is dirty, baby. Ah, sorry. I'm still used to calling you that because I love you anyw
Emily was already at home when Jason came home in a mess. Emily didn't dare to ask. She just watched Jason's movements, which seemed strange and cold toward her. Whereas just last night, Jason fell asleep while hugging her from behind after sniffing the scent of her body. Now, he came home with a different look and attitude, even the smell of perfume that Emily did not recognize. "Where are you from, Jase? I was waiting for you at the office for lunch, and you didn't show up," Emily protested, using the mildest language possible. She didn't want to provoke Jason's emotions, who might be tired from just arriving home. "I had a meeting with one of my clients." "Suddenly? And not back at the office?" Jason turned his head and stared at Emily. "Are you interrogating me? What do you want exactly, Em?" the man asked, not daring to come closer to Emily. Jason did not come closer, but Emily, who got up from the sofa and was now walking, cut the distance between herself and Jason. Emily
Three 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
