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
"Who is this?" asked Alex, trying to recognize the voice on the other line. When the man answered, Alex knew who it was. "Jason? What do you want?""Wait, Alex! Don't hang up the phone! I want to talk about Emily. Can we meet?" Jason sounds so desperate and needs help to solve things about Emily. Alex got to understand it."Where are you?" asked a man as he sipped the coffee latte served a while ago. The handsome man snorted as soon as he heard the answer from his interlocutor."Alright. Don't take too long. I'm a busy man."The woman before him glared when she heard what the man said. "What's busy?!"The man placed his index finger on his lips. Silently, his mouth said, "Be quiet. Let him get here soon.""You bastard!" she retorted later.After hanging up the phone, Alex let out a long sigh. "It's always like this; he needs us to wait.""Don't be like that. We need Emily too," said Shila—the woman sitting before him. She took the fries she ordered and devoured them immediately. "I'm
The fight between Jason, Alex, and all of Jeffry's men was fierce. They were both excellent at martial arts, so it wasn't easy to knock each other out. One or both had to lose first to enter and meet Emily.Shila screamed when a fist hit Jason's face—and one of the guards punched Alex's stomach like a punching bag. Even so, neither of them gave up immediately. Jason took the scissors and slammed the body of his opponent. When she heard somebody moaning, Shila realized this was the right time to sneak away.She quickly searched for Emily. Being in Jeffry's luxurious residence left Shila confused. She didn't know which room Emily was in. Was she in her room or another room?Shila walked straight. "Emily! Emily!" she called, hoping that Emily could hear her. "Emily, where are you?" Shila ran and checked all the rooms on the first floor. Unfortunately, Emily was nowhere to be found."Emily!" Shila shouted. Exhausted with the search, Shila exhaled roughly. Her heart was beating fast becaus
On the first floor, Jason and Alex were both battered. Their faces were red, and the corners of their lips were bleeding. Jason was drooling because his mouth tasted salty. "What about Shila?" he asked."I think she found Emily. Do you want to join the search or stay here and let me stop them?"Jason hesitated. If he went to look for Emily, Alex would lose because their opponents were not random people since none had fallen earlier, even until their energy was almost exhausted.Not wanting anything to happen if he went, Jason then said, "No. I'm sure Shila can find Emily. And you'll die if I leave you here. They're both tough opponents."Alex nodded. He was a little relieved because then his life would be safe. Offering Jason to go was spontaneous. On the one hand, he wanted to find Emily quickly so they could leave immediately. But on the other hand, he was also worried that he would fight the guards alone because they were difficult to defeat.One of the guards got back up after J
Emily was in the garden. She was staring blankly at one of the roses that was red and still a bud. Emily thought, why do roses have thorns? Can the thorns protect the rose, or is it just a decoration?Emily's daydream changed when Jeffry's words rang again in her head. All the phrases that her husband said made Emily think hard and not even sleep all night.Yesterday, after Jeffry was furious and vented his anger and lust, Emily could no longer feel the pain of the punishment he gave her. There were so many questions about Liam, her missing son, until now. She can't find her baby.Emily was stunned when she found one reason. Why would Jeffry want another child when he still had Liam? Jeffry also said that he wished for his flesh and blood. Then, was Liam's disappearance because of Jeffry? But why? Why is he hiding, more precisely, not trying to find Liam?"Is all this true? Why are all the things I think about becoming so complicated? What happened?"Emily's head felt like it was go
After Emily's request, Jason returned to his apartment. He would do everything in his power to help her. Although his relationship has now turned into an ex-wife, Emily is a good woman and has always been his favorite. And he will prioritize Emily above his interests.Arriving at the apartment, Jason rummages through the closet, nightstand, and also other places that he remembers used to store business cards. Jason intends to find someone who can help him and Emily find Liam. After all, Liam is his son, and he will not let Liam disappear."Where do I keep it?" Jason had already gone back and forth around his apartment three times. He snorted and then rubbed his head because he was confused about where he had kept all the business cards last time. Last time, Jason rummaged through the closet located in the main room of the apartment. His face, which was originally annoyed and disheveled, turned cheerful. "It was here. No wonder I was looking for nothing." Jason hurriedly took the bus
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
