A month later

"Emily, leave your work! You have to go home now because in two days your wedding will take place. What are you thinking about? Why are you still working?" nagged Shila, annoyed at her best friend for not remembering her condition, especially her growing belly.

Emily's wedding was two days away, but she was still busy taking care of all the remaining work. Moreover, in two months, Emily would give birth. It was Emily's nonchalant attitude that annoyed Shila.

"Take it easy, Shila; Jeffry has organized everything. I need to relax, sleep, and get dressed by the best make-up artist who will make me shine at the wedding even though I'm pregnant."

Emily's relaxed demeanor and calm-sounding words should have put Shila at ease. Instead, her best friend was on edge.

"I'm anxious about you, Em. You know, I didn't want to tell you, but I saw someone hanging around our office. I'm afraid—"

"Shila, you're overthinking things. It's probably just a passerby. Nothing will happen, Shila.

    Emily had finished moving her belongings from her old house to Jeffry's residence. There are some items she left behind, such as furniture and others, because they will be needed by the tenants later.Since Shila changed her mind and found it hard to leave her apartment, Emily decided to keep it and promised to help Emily to promote it until she found a tenant. That alone was very helpful for Emily, who would start focusing on her labor preparations later.Emily started coming to the office less often and left it to Shila to take care of her job for the time being. Meanwhile, it was Jeffry who visited EMZ more often to check on the work of the employees there because he forbade Emily to be too tired in the seconds leading up to her labor—especially after he heard first-hand about Shila's concerns about the stranger who often seems to be watching their office."But I should be able to see the stranger, Shila. Did you forget that my office is right in front of EMZ?" said Jeffry, who was

    The baby, who was expected to arrive in less than two months, arrived early. Emily went through labor smoothly and safely. The baby boy is now in Emily's arms, and they named him Liam.Their happiness is more complete with Liam's presence. Especially Lyla, who was so excited to welcome the baby brother she had been waiting for. Even since Jeffry had not yet found a replacement for Emilia, Lyla had often expressed her desire to have a younger sibling."Can I hold him later?" asked the little girl when Emily and Jeffry contacted her via video call. Emily, who was holding Liam, smiled and answered the innocent question."It's okay, baby. But it has to be with the help of an adult, okay?"Lyla flashed a smile that revealed her clean teeth, then handed the cell phone to Charles, who looked touched, staring at the screen where Jeffry clearly showed Liam's face."Thank you, dear. You've made this family so complete," Charles said, almost in tears. However, he quickly wiped them away and show

    Shila had been at Emily's house for thirty minutes, and they were silent without saying anything. Jeffry had deliberately left them alone so they could spend time together because both Emily and Shila must have missed each other in the past when they could freely talk without being disturbed by anyone.However, Emily was silent. She didn't say a word, and Shila realized the strangeness of her friend."Em, what's going on? You don't seem to be in the best of spirits when I can hear your cheerful voice on the phone. Did something happen between you and Jeffry?" Shila asked, half-whispering so Jeffry wouldn't hear what they were talking about.Emily shook her head, looking weak and uncharacteristic. She then sighed and couldn't bear to bury the problem that had managed to occupy her attention since earlier."Shila, how long have you known Jeffry?" Emily asked, making her best friend frown. "I mean, did you know about his family and character before I knew him?"Shila looked like she was

    Jeffry called the woman who called him and asked to meet at their usual place. In reality, Jeffry didn't recognize the number at all. He had never known any woman other than Emily and Shila, certainly not since Emilia passed away.Previously, Jeffry had never been interested in getting to know anyone, especially when he was still with Emilia. She was more than enough for him. And after Emilia passed away, only Emily managed to grab his attention.So Emily should no longer needs to doubt Jeffry's loyalty."Jeff, what are you doing? You don't have to do this—" prevented Emily, who could not continue her words because Jeffry had prevented her from speaking with hand gestures.Jeffry activated the loudspeaker so Emily could hear what he was talking about with the woman who contacted him at that time, assuring her that Emily's worries would not happen.Unfortunately, after several calls, the woman did not respond to any of his calls until he decided to give up."You see, she didn't have th

    Jason was still in his apartment, cleaning up what was left of Tamara. He had forgotten some things that were left behind. His mind had been wandering for a while, and he had been drowning in turmoil for some time.Emily's decision broke his heart. That much was clear. And he no longer felt the same zest for life.Jason thought he could rebuild the marriage that had ended, and maybe he and Emily could be reunited next. However, it turned out to be no easy feat.Emily no longer wanted Jason like she used to.We realize how much we love and how precious someone is when we lose them. And Jason didn't expect that he would feel it too.His cell phone rang, who knows how many times. He wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, especially since everyone was happy about the birth of his son, Liam. And that's not the problem with Jason's current unhappiness.Emily had completely forgotten him as Liam's father. She didn't even give Jason any news and refused his calls, even if it was a few times.J

    Emily was still stunned, thinking about Liam's current condition. She did not expect to experience something that she had never imagined. She also never interfered with anyone's life. So what caused one of her servants to do this?Was it only because of money? If so, why didn't anyone call for ransom or anything like that?"Emily, trust me, everything will be fine," Jeffry said as he held Emily. And Jason, who had been there all along, had to endure the pain in his heart seeing Jeffry and Emily's intimacy."I guess I'll just go home and watch." Jason got up from his chair and was about to leave the room, but he turned around and said everything to Emily. "Em, let me know if you get any information on Liam or ... if you need anything."He left without waiting for Emily's response because staying in that place also seemed impossible for Jason.It was too painful for him, and he couldn't let his heart feel so much pain from what he saw. Jason drove his vehicle at the minimum speed, wanti

    The trio still couldn't believe that the undercover kidnapper knew so much about Jeffry's house. Does that mean they are long-time employees? Jeffry is pacing back and forth, trying to tame his raging feelings—between anger and sadness at losing Emily's baby. Seeing his wife's face so gloomy, Jeffry didn't know what to do to comfort her. "I've asked Edward to look for Liam, Em. You don't have to worry." Jason broke the silence that surrounded the three of them. Anxiety and fear mixed with the atmosphere around them. No one was not worried about Liam's current condition. Was the baby okay? Was he just a tool to avenge the hurt? Or is it to benefit Jeffry and Emily? "You don't have to do anything as if you're the hero here, McKennel! I've already mobilized my men to look for Liam. So you sit back and watch!" snapped Jeffry, who couldn't stand Jason's attitude. It was only natural for Jason to try to do everything he could; Liam was his son whom he hadn't even had the chance to mee

    Jason smells something wrong with Tamara. There was a strange odor that he smelled as she approached. A scent he'd never breathed from her during their time together. This wasn't the typical Tamara scent that Jason had come to recognize. But what was this smell? "Are you drunk?" asked Jason, trying to pry the woman out of her without revealing the purpose of his question. Jason wasn't about to believe that Tamara was no longer with Jared. And that baby ... why would Jason want to meet Tamara's baby? After all, Jason once thought that the baby was his. So it couldn't hurt if he tried to get to know his niece, right? "Are you sure that you're not with Jared anymore? What about Thomas?" Jason prodded. Tamara shook her head. "We're still together but not as intensely. I'm back in my old house, Jase. And that apartment near your office, I sold a long time ago." Jason just nodded, trying to understand Tamara's explanation which still didn't satisfy him. There were many things he suspe

    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
