This is the craziest honeymoon Emily has ever had. When Jason was at Tamara's villa, which was somewhere else, Emily enjoyed being alone in the Maldives just because she didn't want to disappoint Charles. Charles and Emma only knew that Emily and Jason had arrived in the Maldives because that was what Charles' business colleague had told him. In fact, this is not the case. "What? That's crazy, Em! And you didn't say anything to Jason?” asked Shila from the other line. Emily shook her head and then realized that Shila would not be able to see whatever she was doing at this time. She wanted to, of course, she wanted to say something. Being on another island alone on your honeymoon is not cool. Emily wanted to cry right now, but she couldn't. Her tears seemed to have dried up. "I don't know, Shila. I might be crazy for agreeing to this idea. However, am I wrong if I wish Jason to stay with me on our honeymoon even though we don't love each other?” Emily asked Shila, who could only si
Emily doesn't know what happened to her life, which changed instantly when Charles decided to set her up with Jason. Although initially, everything was fine. Even though she wasn't close to Jason, she never got into trouble with him because Emily avoided anything that would bring her into conflict. Even though she is interested in Jared, she doesn't dare to say it and comes clean. She was aware of her place in the McKennel family. And now, everything seems to collapse and fall right on her head. “Jared, you shouldn't be doing this to me. You know, I've never caused trouble with you," said Emily, who was already in despair. What can she do now? Being Jason's wife was like a mistake, and now Jared's attitude pushed her even further. As if this was all her fault. "What did I do, Em? I want to be able to continue to be with you; is that wrong?" The question didn't sound like a question to Emily at this point, just Jared's manipulative way of intimidating her. Even a few hours ago, J
Jason wasn't drunk when he did it. He is aware of total awareness, but also not with feelings of love for Emily. He was annoyed and angry when he saw Emily dancing with another man, obviously not because he was jealous because of love, but ego. However, even though he doesn't love Emily, it still hurts to see Emely—who is now his wife—among men who try to get close to her, let alone want to have her. That's why he did something stupid a few hours ago. Now Emily and Jason were in their room, not saying a word. Emily was reluctant to start because she had been annoyed at the man from the start and was still angry. Meanwhile, Jason was also unable to speak because he did not need interaction with the girl who had only been his wife for a few days. "I'll get some ice cubes to compress your wound," said Emily, got up and left, then returned with a flask of ice in her hand. Slowly she compressed the bruised part of Jason's face from the fight in the style of a gladiator show that took p
Jason's eyes couldn't close either. He still remembers Tamara's words, who decided to reconcile with her husband because Jason was already married. Tamara thought it was fair, but not for Jason, who had been in a relationship with the married woman for the past two years. Jason never considered this marriage. He never wanted it. He even hoped something would happen so he could break the bond because of this coercion. Jason came out of the room, it was two in the morning, and he was hungry. He went into the kitchen and found nothing there but raw materials. He took a carrot and started eating it. "What are you doing here, Jase?" The carrot in Jason's hand almost fell out of his hand, and he even almost threw it at Emily when suddenly the girl was behind Jason. “Fuck! Emily, can you not just show up like that!?” complained Jason while stroking his chest. He hid the thing he had been trying to eat. “W-what are you doing here?” Jason was about to swear, but his focus was distracted
Emily and Jason decide to return to Eastonville. Two days sooner than expected. After all, what to linger for, they will not enjoy the honeymoon like a typical bride.There will be no sightseeing sessions, taking pictures to capture the moment, let alone enjoying a romantic and hot night as a husband and wife should.It was evident only in Emily's imagination.Even though Emily admits that she doesn't love Jason yet, the hope of enjoying the sweetness of marriage is certainly in her mind. Although what happened was precisely the opposite."Have you told mom and dad?" Jason asked while they were still on the plane. "Or should I contact them?""No need. I already told Mr. and Mrs. McKennel a few days ago. And I guess we'll use a taxi later. Mr. McKennel says he's still in a meeting, so there's no way Andrew will be picking us up."Jason nodded, understanding.He then glanced at the object wrapped around his wrist. Then scrolled through his cell phone and checked if there were any messag
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
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
