Emily was ready and had prepared breakfast for her and Jason. She had sent her permission slip and resignation from the office, which she still kept secret from Jason.

She had promised to do anything for Jason as long as he would give his heart to Emily.

She knew it would not be easy to have Jason's feelings already filled by other women, but she could still try even though it was difficult. That was why she decided to quit her job. And that raised questions in Charles' mind.

He finally contacted Emily to ask for an explanation. Of course, Charles didn't want Emily to make a decision that would keep her constrained.

"Emily, honey, are you sure about this decision? You love this job so much—you love everything, I know that so why—" Charles paused his question and heard a sigh there.

"Did something happen to your marriage? Jason seemed crazy about you a few days ago when he asked you to stop working; why is it like this now?" he added, not understanding.

Emily just smiled. She coul

    The two were already in a luxurious room with a beautiful view. Emily's heart was troubled, and she was still thinking about the necklace no longer in her hand. Jason had thrown it away. That meant he would never give her a chance. Emily didn't understand why she was so wishy-washy. Wasn't she the one who told Jason to throw it away? Why did she feel unwilling now? Emily got up and then decided to leave the room where she was staying. She was determined; it was still afternoon, and she should have been able to find the necklace before it got carried away, and it became harder for Emily to see it. Jason, who was still cleaning up, didn't find Emily when he came out of the bathroom and left her alone. He thought Emily might want to order something from the cottage. Surely, it wouldn't take long. While Emily had not returned, Jason took out the object he had been hiding in his pants pocket. If Emily thought she was the only one who didn't want it gone, she was wrong. Jason even won

    Jason stopped his regular movements. All his muscles and nerves tightened for a moment as he and Emily moaned in unison. Today, Emily once again gave up on what she had decided, that she would no longer hope in Jason. Since he said he needed her to help him find the right path to his heart, Emily had turned into an unyielding figure. At least she was happy now because Jason decided to enjoy this one day with her to commemorate their story fifteen years ago. Just a snot-nosed boy's romance that ended tragically and sank for a dozen years, then began to find its harbor after many misunderstandings. At least Jason knew that Emily had always had a heart for him. And vice versa, Emily learned that Jason liked her too. However, there were things beyond their control that ultimately separated the two. Jason laid his sweat-drenched body down on Emily's side. He grabbed the blanket and, covered Emily's body, and took his wife into his arms, gently kissed her lips. This one day was too bea

    Emily was still in her room, just as Jason had instructed. She's still hoping Jason will come back and choose her over Tamara, one way or another.However, that was impossible. Jason would always choose Tamara and leave her lonely, just as he had before.Emily knew that hoping Jason would choose her was impossible. Although the man said that he was lost and needed Emily's help to understand himself, it would still be challenging to change Jason if not of his own free will.Emily's body sagged on the floor, clutching her knees while still crying over the misfortune of her love for Jason.She had indeed been able to drive Jason out of her life, trying to start a relationship with Jared, Jason's biological brother, and their dreams had not been able to be intertwined because Jared also did not give certainty about their relationship.What was Emily's fault? She tried twice to be in a relationship with a man with a blood relative, and both were not much different.However, when she became

    Emily was still finishing the remaining tears. Shila, who had been by her side, was silent and occasionally rubbed Emily's back or hugged her best friend.What happened to Emily? Perhaps Shila would not be able to go through so firmly as her best friend did.After being betrayed several times, given false promises, then catapulted again sky-high and again knocked down, Emily still also left an apology for Jason."Em ... are you okay? If you don't want to go back home first, at least until you get better, you know, this house is always open to you," said Shila when Emily was about to step out of her best friend's residence. she had been there since morning. She had to get home before Jason got home.Emily knew that what Shila was doing was only to help her escape from Jason, who was like poison to her. However, Emily, solid and rigid, became fragile and not without reason."No, Shila. I have to be at home, so he doesn't bring that woman to come and enter our house. If he wants to do th

    Emily gulped down the water in her glass. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed a few hours ago. It was already evening, and Emily still couldn't forget what had happened. Stupidly, she did not record the incident as evidence. Emily's body was still shaking violently. The glass in her hand almost fell, and when her eyes caught the figure of Jason standing not far from where Emily was, the drink fell on the floor along with Emily's scream. "Shit! S-sorry, Jase, I was surprised to see you there. I thought you'd be home late again." Emily crouched down and picked up the broken glass carefully, although her hands were still shaking. "Don't clean it like that; let me help. Don't hurt your hands again," Jason said as he brought a floor broom and started cleaning it slowly. Meanwhile, Emily clutched her body and looked uneasy, walking to and fro. Jason couldn't help but notice his wife's strange behavior. "Did something happen? I left the office earlier because of a sudden m

    The fight between Emily and Jason began to look absurd. Jason showed jealousy and suspicion, making Emily even more confused about the man's feelings. However, when Emily asks Jason about his feelings, the man constantly changes the subject. If asked what exactly was being planned by Emily, she had explained it repeatedly to Jason, and she was not sure the man was listening well because Jason would frequently ask again. And Jason would occupy himself with work every time he had completed an episode of the fight between him and Emily. Emily knew that Jason spent more time at the office than at Tamara's apartment. She had asked some of Jason's employees to keep an eye out. Several agreed, and Emily would pay them well for helping her become a confidential informant. Today, Emily got the same report that Jason hadn't even gone out for lunch. Emily finally decides to come to take him out to lunch. "What did you come here for? You know, I'm not in the mood for a fight," Jason said wi

    Charles invited Emily and Jason to dinner at the McKennel residence. The parents missed Jason and their daughter-in-law having a meal together and chatting as usual. Emma herself contacted Emily to invite her daughter-in-law and son in person. "We hope you will come. Charles asked me and some of the helpers to make a nice meal," Emma said, sounding excited. Emily didn't have the heart to refuse. However, Jason always came home late, and she wasn't sure if he would go. "I don't know about Jason; he's been busy with work lately. However, I can come, Mrs. McKennel; you can rest easy. I'll help you make Mr. McKennel's favorite snack." Emily answered her mother-in-law's invitation while flashing a happy smile. "Oh, no, dear. Charles will nag me if you intervene in this matter. You'll be guests later, so don't touch anything because I've got a whole army of people to help," Emma said with an excited laugh. "Alright then. I'll get everything ready for later. And I'll let Jason know in c

    Emily came out of the building she went to with Alex—her best friend from the orphanage. She couldn't help but solve the problem Alex was facing. The man has to divorce his wife due to domestic violence that was said to have been committed by his wife. Emily knew Alex well, even though she lived in the orphanage for only a few years before Charles adopted her. So she knew what Alex was going through and what he told her must be true. "What about you, Em? Are you happily married to Jason? He looks ..." Emily laughed when Alex didn't continue his sentence. "I know. Don't say it; otherwise, I'll be furious at you!" Emily said as she spat. "You still don't like it when I badmouth that jerk, huh? How much do you love him?" Alex, the man with copper-colored hair and dark eyeballs, looked at Emily with a meaningful gaze. His hand grasped Emily's fingers. "You still have me, Em. You can use this place of mine as a hideout if you want." Emily laughed again at Alex's serious-sounding stat

    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.

    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
