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
For the first time, Jason sees a cute little angel in the form of a baby. Liam, who had been crying, calmed down after Tamara gave him a bottle of milk which he managed to finish. Jason was so amazed, then lifted the baby in his arms. He looked at Liam's face, who was fast asleep; in his heart, Jason felt a vibration that he could not explain even with words. There was something in that baby that made him feel attached. "What's his name?" Jason asked the woman in his arms. "His name?" Tamara shook her head. "Oh, my God. I was so messed up I forgot to give him a name. Do you have any ideas? Surely he'll have McKennel after his name." Jason's brow furrowed. He would have loved to be allowed to name the baby. However, the baby was Jared's. "Come on, Jase. You can name your nephew." Tamara turned to face the man still holding Liam. "Besides, if we're back together, it makes no difference if it's your baby or not; you're still the father." Jason hesitated, but he wished he could name
Jason was lost in a bar in the same location he had visited when looking for Liam. He watched Emily from a distance and didn't find her at Jeffry's residence. Where had Emily gone? Even when he called her repeatedly, there was no answer. Jason wanted to ensure his ex-wife was okay, even though Liam hadn't been found yet. Jason sat alone, enjoying a drink in his glass while watching the passing servers and bartenders who were busy preparing drinks for their guests. Several servers looked somber and were talking to the man in the suit in front of him. "Hey, what happened to them? Is that your manager?" Jason asked the bartender who had finished serving the order. The man in his twenties nodded, then leaned his elbows on the bar counter and started talking at a volume that only the two could hear. "He's the owner of this bar. And it seems that soon we will lose our livelihood. He plans to close and sell the bar due to bankruptcy," he said. Jason frowned, then turned to the man who
Emily didn't need to ask anyone's permission to meet with anyone. Especially after Jeffry left last night and only returned in the early morning, it would be better for Emily to go alone to see Alex.Alex, who had disappeared for a long time, because he felt he had to make room for Emily to be happy, finally agreed when Emily expressed the purpose of her invitation to meet.Alex of course already knew about Emily's marriage to the successful businessman Jeffry, and had just given birth to a cute baby boy. One thing that makes Alex shocked and disbelieving; Emily again gets a life test that is no joke.The trial of love has been suffocating for Emily, now she has to lose her son and that is not an easy thing."Forgive me for disappearing like the earth. I just don't want to disturb your happiness, Em. I can't possibly stand to see another man be the reason you smile," said Alex which made Emily only able to review the bitter smile on her face.Until whenever Alex will always be able to
Emily woke up with her whole body crushed like a sledgehammer. After beating her savagely overnight, Jeffry unleashes his lust on her right then and there. That was fine with Emily, as she had wanted that for a long time. But unfortunately, things started on the wrong foot and ended incorrectly. How could Emily possibly serve and enjoy her sexual entangle with Jeffry when the man had beaten her mentally so brutally? Then after he was satisfied, he stripped Emily of her clothes and did it without permission. There was no foreplay, no pleasure that Emily could feel. Only pain invaded her body and mind. And this morning, again, she didn't see him on the couch where they did it last night. It was not happiness that Emily felt, but tightness and pain. She drenched her whole body with tears swallowed by the shower water. Her head hurt as Jeffry banged it against the wall several times. Emily didn't understand what demon had possessed Jeffry to do all that to her. Everything that happen
Jason couldn't possibly calm down after seeing Emily's condition for himself. Although Emily said that what she experienced was the work of a criminal, why did she refuse when Jason wanted to report it to the police?And he remembered very well how Emily's expression was at that time. She was in a lot of pain and hurt, whether psychologically or physically."What are you thinking about, hm?" asked Tamara, who suddenly appeared in her nightwear which should have piqued Jason's interest, but the man didn't want her.Ever since Jason decided to go back to Tamara, there was not the slightest desire to touch her.He just wanted to meet his niece. That was all."No, no, no. It's just a work matter. And I'm planning to start my own business. I just found a business that suits me and is working on it.""Really? I'm happy for you, honey. May I know what that business is?"Jason shook his head with a mischievous smile. He certainly didn't want Tamara to know about his move. He had seen what Tam
Jeffry turned off the phone. The man massaged his temples. Today, he already has a lot on his agenda. Being a businessman, he has to be ready at any time. Especially when it comes to market expansion, which is very frustrating; sometimes, it's so far from the forecast that the strategy that has been built suddenly misses and experiences many obstacles.Nevertheless, Jeffry chose to relax for a while on the balcony of his room. He directed his eyes to see the green scenery before the house. Once satisfied, his eyes shifted to a small black object with gold edges coiled in his left hand."Ah, it's still morning," he muttered as he turned around. Not far before him was his wife, who had just arrived."Jeff? Why are you so neat?" Emily asked."Today, I have a business trip to Jamaica," Jeffry replied coldly while putting on his watch. The woman who had been standing in the doorway looked confused.Jeffry frowned. His face was flat. The man approached Emily. Suddenly Emily backed away slow
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
