For five consecutive days, each morning Marty together with Mary shows up at Christine’s villa. Despite telling Cassie not to bring Marty to her room, the little girl seems to turn a deaf ear. Not wanting to embarrass herself again, Christine wakes up early and waits in the living room for Marty and Mary’s arrival.
Marty was taken aback to see Christine sitting on the sofa in the living room. "Did you come down on your own?" asked Marty coolly.
“Yes, Mr Jacobs. It's just a sprained ankle so I can still get down without needing anyone else's help."
Christine wasn't looking at Marty the whole time she was talking, but her eyes were on Mary, watching her reaction. Christine is rather disturbed because she cannot obtain an answer from Mary's stoic face.
Justin laughed, everybody in the company is scared of Christine but not him. While Christine may appear intimidating, she did not intimidate him at all.“Alright, I’ll just order a takeaway meal from your favorite restaurant and eat here.” Justin dialed the restaurant's number.Justin proceeded to the couch after ordering food. He and Marty discuss matters concerning their cooperation. Christine didn't join them, she was convinced that Justin could take charge, besides, she doesn't want to talk to Marty.Within half an hour, their food came in. Justin set the table and walked towards Christine.“Let’s eat,” Justin said."I'm not hungry," Christine said, with her eyes fixed on the documents she holds."Do you want me to notify the love of your life that you're skipping lunch?" Justin smiles.Marty’s body was tense hearing Justin use ‘Christine’s lover&r
“Mommy, Uncle Marty is already waiting downstairs” Cassie enthusiastically informed Christine, who is still dressing up.“Alright, sweetie, give me a moment, I’ll come down after getting dressed.” Christine grudgingly donned her skinny jeans and sneakers.She had enjoyed a few days respite from Marty’s annoying presence, but now she’s going to tolerate his presence for the sake of Cassie. She had somewhat regretted making a promise to Cassie at that moment.Coming down the stairs, she saw Cassie sitting on Marty’s lap giggling as they watched a video together. The father and daughter were a sight to see. Christine's heart was touched by Marty's loving attitude toward Cassie, although he doesn't know that Cassie is his daughter. Christine had tear pooled eye
"Yes." Christine answered, she doesn't feel good about confusing her daughter's vocabulary. Marty didn't like Christine making Cassie a dimwit. However, knowing that Christine was already annoyed Marty refrained from correcting Christine. “Mommy, you said I looked like my daddy, why did Aunt Cindy say I look like Uncle Marty?” Cassie asked, Christine’s heart thud. Christine managed to wear a facade of indifference, dismissed Cassie’s question and said, “Sweetie, aren’t you excited to see sleeping beauty, Cinderella and Belle?” "I want to see them, mom." Cassie clapped and giggled, Christine was relieved when she was able to distract Cassie. Marty was pondering while they walked towards the entrance of the the
"What did you discover?" Doctor. Douglas asked. “She is my cure.” "How can you be so sure". “My body responds to her even without physical contact.” “How about other women?” "I feel disgusted to think about touching other women or getting touched by other women." said Marty. "Have you ever tried touching another woman?". “Yes” “What happened” “But I could not bring myself to touch another woman, I feel like puking” “How about when
"She's AB negative," Graham responded.Marty looked at the doctor and said, "We share the same blood group"A nurse collected Marty's blood sample to carry out a range of screening tests. After confirming that Marty has no infection and that he has the same blood type as Cassie, they proceeded with the blood transfusion.Just when Marty came into the operating theatre, the other operating door opened and Christine was wheeled into the ICU."Doctor, how is she?" Graham asked, Graham was in agony watching Christine lying unconscious on the bed.“The patient is now out of danger, but we still have to monitor her closely to ensure that everything is fine.” The doctor said and went into th
"When will mommy wake up? I want a hug from mommy." Cassie said and Marty's restraint was broken at that time and tears escaped his eyes. "Daddy, why are you crying? Is mommy dying?” Cassie asked worriedly and tears gathered her eyes. "No, no, sweetie, she isn't going to die. Mommy won't leave us. " Marty said, as he stroked Cassie's back. The father and daughter stepped out of the ICU when the nurse came in to check on Christine and told them to leave. Marty took Cassie to his villa after being discharged from the hospital. Cassie looked around trying to take in her new surroundings. She had never been to a new and unfamiliar place without Christine. And that made her uncomfortable. "Do you
"Please, don't take her away from me. I am going to die if you take her away from me. Please, I am begging you." Christine said in between her sobs. "Who said I am going to take her away from you?" Marty asked as he stroked her back to calm her. "Won't you take her away from me, will you?" Christine said, she looked up and looked into Marty with pleading eyes. "No, I'll never do it. You're her mother, Cassie will hate me if I take her from you." Marty said, he wiped Christine's tears out with his thumbs. He didn't like to see Christine in tears, it’s his weakness. "Don't be anxious, it won't help in your recovery. You must recover quickly because our little Cassie missed you..." Marty said,
Cassie shrieked with joy, she was so overjoyed to see her mom had finally awakened from a coma.Christine turned her head, “Cassie, sweetie.” her vision became blurry as tears gathered around her eyes.For two weeks she had been lying unconscious in the hospital, she couldn’t imagine herself away from her daughter that long. Over the last five years, she had never left Cassie, a day without seeing her daughter was almost unbearable to her.Graham put down the bowl on the nightstand and took a tissue to wipe the corner of Christine’s lips. Marty’s body tense up, he’s agitated to see Graham is being intimate with Christine. He walked towards Christine and lowered Cassie so she could hug Christine. As Christine and Cassie hugged each other, Marty leaned over and kis
Christmas Eve New Zealand Jacobs Estate After dinner the children excitedly went into the living room waiting for Marty to read a story for them. He sat at the love seat beside Christine, before opening the book he kissed Christine’s forehead. He placed the book on his lap, then placed his left arm around Christine’s shoulders and she leaned her head on Marty’s shoulder. And then he began to read the story for the children. Christine looked up, admiringly at her husband who was reading the story. As usual he switches voices to suit the character. After finishing the story the children went to kiss both Christine and Marty. “Grandpa, thank you for reading the book for us,” the 7 years old Jackson, their eldest grandson said and kissed Marty’s cheeks and then went to Christine and kissed her cheeks also and hugged both Christine and Marty telling them “I love you both to the moon and back.” That is what his mom, Cassie and father, Jared always tell him. Cassie and Jared got married
The doctor and nurses silently watched Marty grieving. They heard every word Marty told his wife. Their hearts go to Marty, seeing how broken he was. While Marty sobbing, Christine gasped and simultaneously opened her eyes. “Babe, you’re alive!” Marty shouted with joy. The doctor and nurses came running to them and attended to Christine immediately. Marty's tears didn’t stop welling up. “God, thank you,” he said while watching his wife. When the doctor was certain that Christine’s were fine they wheeled her into her suite. Marty stayed by her side and didn’t want to leave her. “Babe, how are the babies doing?” Christine asked when she didn’t see the babies in the room. “They're fine, they’ll be here after the newborn screening,” Marty brushed his thumb on her cheek, Marty’s vision became blurry as his tears pooled in his eyes and tears rolled down. He bent forward and hugged her tightly. “Please, don’t leave me babe,” he said incoherently while crying. Christine could feel his
Corrine went to the airport to pick up Jeremy. She was really pleased to see Jack and Jared. "Hey, little man, you're here to surprise your mom?" Corrine asked Jared while he ruffled his soft blond hair. "Yup," Jared answered her with a smirk. Corrine chuckled at his expression and said, "You really look and act like your dad." "Of course, he is good looking and smart like me," Jack said with a smug face. "Your son is an even better version of you. He's a lot more handsome and smarter than you." "He doesn't have that look and that brain if I wasn't his dad," Jack retorted while Corrine snorted. The next day, a limousine came to fetch Christine's best friends from the hotel. Christine was pacing back and forth in the living room while she eagerly awaited her best friends' arrival. Marty was worried about her condition and held her arm and said, "Babe, sit down, don't strain yourself.". He directed her towards the couch and sat down. Christine w
"No doubt she is Stella's daughter, she is the spitting image of her mother.” watching Christine attentively, her eyes soft. She and Stella were best friends. Whatever Stella had, she also had. Stella treated her like her own sister. Looking at Christine, Lorna reminisces the happy moments she had with Stella. After a couple of moments of reminiscence, she took Christine's hand and said, "My uncle had sought you out all these years. I am so pleased that you are finally here." Christine smiled feebly, she didn't know how to answer Lindsey's mother. She is trying to digest the fact that the woman who wanted to destroy her marriage was actually a family. And she's kind of baffled by the difference in attitude between Lindsey and Lorna; they're like the south and north poles. One has a trashy attitude while the other is gentle and kind. Are they really related to each other? She shudders at the thought that Lindsey is actually her cousin, that Marty meeting Lindsey is in
Señor Dela Vega squinted his eyes and gave Lindsey a side glance and said, "Are you even trying to manipulate me?" Lindsey trembled when Senor Dela Vega spoke to her in an authoritative tone. He didn't speak to her the way he did. He always doted on her and spoke to her gently. "I'm sorry, grandpa," she whispered. Senor Dela Vega ignored her and stared at Marty and said, "I want to meet your wife.". Everything Lindsey said to him was exactly the opposite of what he heard from Marty. And he was intrigued and wanted to see Christine. Senor Dela Vega stood up from the couch and refused Lindsey's assistance. He was disgusted with everything he had learned from Marty. He thought she was an innocent and pure girl, but she was quite the contrary. Marty came near Christine and whispered something in her ear. Her heartbeat began to pick up as if it's like a racing horse. She took a slow breath to calm down. Christine lowered her head as she was still nervous to meet Lindsey's grandfather.
Rather than being weakened by what Lindsey did, their relationship strengthened. Marty has proven to Christine that he has not cheated on her and her trust in him was fortified. The deed that was meant to tear them apart drew them closer together and made their marriage stronger. "Are you okay?" Marty asked her while they were heading to the fashion show. "I'm nervous, the last time I performed was the Awards Night five years ago," Christine ruefully said. Marty remembered her performance and said, "Yeah, you danced like you weren't carrying our baby." "I couldn't back out at the time because I only learned that I was pregnant two weeks before the Awards Night and can't think of a plausible reason so that they will replace me. And I can't disclose that I was pregnant," Christine explained. Marty felt culpable and said, "I'm sorry." Christine cupped his face and told him, "Babe, you have already said sorry a thousand times over. It's happened before and there's no undoing the past
"Welcome back!" Matilda joyfully welcomes Marty and Christine as they step out of the car. "Mom!" Christine exclaimed happily while she walked quickly towards her mother in law. "Christine, daughter," Matilda hugged her tightly. "How was your honeymoon," Matilda asked as they broke their embrace. "It's great, mom," she answered, her eyes bright and sparkling. Matilda chuckled and said, "I believe you, it's written all over your face." Christine blushed at her mother in law's remark. Is it really obvious that she and Marty had a great time together? She pondered as she held her blushing cheeks. Marty's lips curled up at the sight of his wife. "Mom," Marty kissed his mom's forehead and speak again, "Aren't you gonna ask your son about the honeymoon?" "No need, I could see on your face that you really enjoyed your honeymoon," Matilda answered her son, laughing. Marty burst into laughter. Christine shook her head, watching the mother and son laugh. They had a chat with Matilda i
As they were enjoying their red wine and their conversation. Christine caught sight of two familiar persons entering the bar. Her eyes went wide as she saw the two familiar figures coming their way. She was sure that they hadn't seen her. She couldn't contain the excitement of seeing them. "Graham, Karen," she excitedly called while waving her hands. Marty was startled by the names she called. Graham and Karen were equally surprised to see Christine. They never thought of her being here. Graham wanted to ignore her, however, it was already too late for him to ignore her since she was already approaching them followed by Marty. "How are you? Such a small world, I wasn't expecting to see you here, but I'm glad to see you both," Christine said just to ward off the awkwardness. She wanted these feelings to be gone because she missed them. Karen hugs Christine and giggles, "It's such a small world, great to see you again." "I guess there are no more tables available, let's go back to
"Are you tired?" Marty asked her while they were seated in the backseat of the car. "I'm dead tired," she answered and leaned her head on his shoulder. Marty sat her in his lap and said, "Take a nap, I'll wake you when we get to the airport." They had a large number of wedding guests, with whom they should at least have a photograph. After dinner, they went from table after table to have a photo with the guests. They were careful not to miss any table because they did not want to offend any of their guests. And that made Christine exhausted, walking around with her stilettos. Plus the dancing and other stuff they did at the banquet. Forty-five minutes later, they arrived at the airport and the car came to a stop within meters of Marty's private jet. Marty woke her up and he held his breath, seeing her thick long lashes flutter as she slowly opened her eyes. His wife is so beautiful, even as she tries to open her eyes. "Hi," said Christine with a blushing face when she opened
