The person pushed Jessica's shoulders, forcing her back into the storage room. Of course, she didn't expect something like this to happen, and she couldn't do anything when the storage room door closed again behind the person's back. Jessica looked like she was facing a ghost now, and the ghost even made her breathless. Her body froze even more when she heard the person speak, "So, you've been doing this with Tyler all this time?" The question penetrated her senses coldly and mercilessly. Jessica had known this person for years, but this was the first time she heard them talk to her like this. For the first time, she felt so intimidated by the person that she couldn't even answer the question straight away. "You won't answer?" The person asked again when Jessica remained silent. “I actually already suspected that something was wrong between you and him. I just didn’t expect you to do such shameless things with him in a place like this.” When the person continued to corner Jessica
"Actually, what I'm doing now is just part of my revenge on Noah, Tam," Jessica admitted another thing. "What?" Tammy asked in surprise. “So, you have planned everything to take revenge on your husband? You even had sex with your husband's boyfriend in a place like this just to get revenge on him?” “We didn't go all the way in this place! I just helped him using my mouth!" Jessica immediately clarified before Tammy misunderstood her further. Unfortunately, Tammy still didn't look happy as she shook her head helplessly. “You didn't even tell me about your plans,” she replied. “Tyler was the one who gave me the idea to get revenge on Noah by taking advantage of him,” Jessica spoke again, and Tammy once again looked shocked. “What did you just say, sis?” Unable to believe it, Tammy asked again. “From what I've seen in the last few months, I know that Noah and Tyler truly love and care about each other, but just now you said that Tyler willingly let you use him to get revenge on Noah
The latest issue of EntertainMEN magazine was released today. It had been a month since Jessica did an additional photo shoot with Tyler and Matt. The result of the photo shoot managed to satisfy Karl, and that bald man even immediately gave her a thumbs up. After the photo shoot, the company once again invited the twelve men for an interview session, and the interview also went smoothly. After everything was done, the company focused on editing and printing the magazine before officially publishing it. The entire country could finally purchase the magazine, and they could also see the hard work of everyone involved in this special issue. It seemed that Karl's crazy idea was a good one, and as he predicted, the people of the country went crazy because of his carefully chosen concept. As predicted, the ones getting the most attention were Tyler and Matt, and it was even better for them because they were on a team. “Is it just a coincidence that these two hottest guys ended up teamin
The last thing she saw was black, but the first thing she saw after opening her eyes again was white. It was white and very bright, and she even closed her eyes again when she failed to immediately adapt to the atmosphere. “Am I in heaven?” She muttered to herself as she kept her eyes closed. “Do you think you deserve to be in heaven? The only place you should live is hell because you dared to give me a heart attack when you suddenly fainted!” The familiar voice made Jessica open her eyes again, and when she turned her gaze slightly to the side, she could see Tammy sitting next to her. When she turned her gaze to look around her, she could see how the room was dominated by white. The walls, furniture, and even the bed where she laid down were dominated by white. She could also smell the familiar smell that always entered her nostrils whenever she visited her father when the old man was hospitalized, and she could deduce that she was in a hospital at the moment. “Did you really hav
"What?" Tammy asked, but she didn't raise her voice to show she was surprised this time. But, judging from how white her face looked after hearing Jessica's words, it was clear that she was more than just shocked. “How can you be so sure that Tyler is the father of your child when you've had it with two men in the last month, sis? Did your child tell you who their father is?” Tammy's brain was still ridiculous even in this situation, and it could only produce ridiculous questions as well. Jessica didn't even want to explain when the situation was like this. However, she had spilled her tea, and the remaining tea in her cup only gave her a burden if she didn't spill it completely. Therefore, she decided to reveal it all, “Noah was infertile.” “…” Tammy gasped this time, and even her eyeballs looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets. For a moment, Tammy looked like a fish. She opened and closed her mouth several times, but what came out of her mouth were probably ju
Silently, Jessica glared at Tammy when her mother hurriedly walked towards the hospital bed where she lay. Tammy just gave her a guilty smile as she consciously stepped back to give her mother space next to the bed.“What happened to you, Jess? Why did you suddenly faint?” Anxious, Patricia asked her daughter after she took Tammy's place at the hospital bedside.Jessica didn't answer immediately, and her eyes fell on Tammy for a moment. That was actually how she sent a secret signal to her assistant: “Just shut up and let me take care of everything! Don't you dare say a word to my mother!”That was what Jessica wanted to convey even though she was just looking at her assistant in silence, and thanks to their strong bond, Tammy managed to understand the silent signal. Without a word, the assistant moved her hand towards her lips before gesturing as if she were zipping her lips.That was a sign that Tammy would remain silent when Jessica talked to her mother, and Jessica secretly breath
Jessica had read on the internet about how most mothers were instinctive philosophers, but she just rolled her eyes at the time, thinking that saying was an exaggeration. She thought the sentence was absurd, but last week she had to silently admit defeat to her mother's instincts. Even if she deliberately tried to hide the truth from her mother, her mother still had suspicions about her pregnancy, and she needed to lie again by saying that the doctor didn't say anything about pregnancy. ["Are you sure about that?" Once again, her mother questioned her even after she denied her suspicions. “I'm sure about that, Mom!” Jessica once again tried to convince her mother, but then her eyes suddenly caught sight of a figure who might be able to support her lie. Pointing at the figure, she said, “If you don't believe my words, you can ask Tammy! You believe her more than me, right? After all, the doctor talked to her while I was still unconscious, so she should be able to tell you what the d
It was one of the best rooftop bars in Brooklyn, and it was called Tomorrow's Tom's. From the top of The Queen's Bell Hotel, right on the 27th floor, the guests' eyes were treated to beautiful skyline views from the terrace and conservatory. From there, they could see a 360-degree view of New York City. The bar was known for its dynamic menu of original and classic cocktails alongside craft beer and wine. It was quite famous in the city, therefore one needed to make a reservation to be able to enjoy the views and menu offered. It was said that the line was always long, but Karl probably got a shortcut because the bar's owner, Tom Huges, was his best friend. Therefore, it could be said that the people from EntertainMEN had the privilege of being able to enjoy everything at the bar tonight because of their connection. There were indoor and outdoor areas in the bar, and because it was forecasted that the sky tonight would be clear and there were no signs of rain, Ka
“Mom, are we really going to stay overnight at Grandma's house today?” Glancing in the rearview mirror to look into the back seat, Jessica could see how her son kept swinging his legs while asking the question. His cute movements only showed that the blonde boy was very excited to hear his mother's answer. But, this wasn't even the first time Shane had asked that question, and Jessica actually had answered the same question before. Thankfully, Jessica didn't get tired of hearing her son's excitement, and she smiled while shaking her head helplessly before answering, "We're going to have a sleepover at Grandma's house for real, but why are you so excited about that, Shane?" Jessica could keep glancing at the boy because she didn't need to focus on driving. But, the answer to her question came not from her son but from her daughter, "That's because Grandma promised us that she would tell us more stories about Grandpa, Mommy! We wonder if Grandpa is more like me or Shane!" "Of cou
“What is 'proposing,' Mommy? Why do you keep saying that word?” Impatiently, Shane continued to pull the side of Jessica's shirt while asking the question. It was indeed the little boy who responded to Jessica even though the question was directed at Noah. But, that didn't upset the woman, and instead, she looked satisfied as she smiled at the boy before answering, “You'll have to ask your favorite Daddy about that word, Shane. He would know more than me about that word.” Jessica did direct her answer to her son, but her eyes glanced at Noah when she said her last sentence. Noah looked cornered, he even tried to look away from the mother and son pair. The artificial light around the area reflected on the man's forehead after he took off the cat head, and it looked glistening with sweat, either because of his cat costume or because of his nervousness. Jessica didn't know the reason, but that didn't stop her from staring intently at the man while waiting for his answer. "Proposin
“So, where is your Daddy now? Did he run away after giving my son a stup—a funny task?” Gritting her teeth to suppress her annoyance, Jessica questioned her son, almost failing to restrain herself from uttering the word "stupid." However, it was not her son who responded. Instead, it was her daughter who suddenly tugged on her sleeve, causing her to turn towards the little girl. “Daddy didn't run away, Mom,” the little girl said, and Jessica thought she would continue to say something. That's why Jessica remained silent waiting for her daughter to explain what she had just said, but the little girl didn't say anything and just moved her little hands towards the pink backpack hanging on her back. Jessica didn't know what the girl was doing, but she could see how the girl unzipped her backpack before taking something out of it. To Jessica's surprise, the thing the girl had just taken out of her backpack was a camera. To be pr
In the end, Jessica decided to give Noah a second chance. Yes, a second chance to be closer to her children.The reason behind her decision was that her children really liked Noah since the first time they met at the mall ice cream shop when she accompanied Tammy to buy a birthday present for her husband. It could be said that the ice cream succeeded in buying the kids' love, and they really liked spending time with the person who bought them the ice cream.Actually, that was not a bad thing, but Jessica was quite annoyed by the stubbornness of her children who kept calling Noah "daddy." It was clearly Noah's fault for casually confirming that he was indeed the twins' father, and Jessica continued to curse the man in her heart from that day on.She didn't even realize that a week had passed since her mother left the hospital and started living again in Noah's old apartment. Due to her mother's pleading, she ended up staying in that apartment as well rather
“That… that's too cheesy! Aren't we going to buy food for my mother and children? We better leave now or they will eat us alive if they get too hungry," Jessica tried to change the topic of their conversation when she started to feel nervous because of what Noah had just said to her. She even averted her gaze to look at anything as long as it wasn't Noah's face, and that was why she didn't notice the hopeful expression on the man's face. "You just said that what I said was too cheesy, but you didn't say that you didn't believe what I said," Noah replied, ignoring the fact that Jessica was trying to change the topic of their conversation. Finally, Jessica could no longer avoid the man's face, and she once again looked at him with her pair of blue eyes. At this moment, she could finally see a glimmer of hope in the man's eyes. "To be honest, Tammy has told me everything related to you," Jessica finally said the truth.
“Why didn't you remarry after we divorced five years ago?” Jessica's voice was finally heard in the car. "Is it because you still can't get over Tyler?"Suddenly, Noah sneered before replying, “Do you think I love that man so much that I can't replace him with someone else? I don't know if this information is useful for you or not, but the truth is that I didn't really love him when we were together.""You didn't really love him but you still wanted to be with him even though it meant betraying our marriage," Jessica answered sarcastically, and Noah looked stunned by her answer.For a moment, Noah could only stare at the blonde without being able to utter a word with his mouth, but then he took a deep breath before saying, “I believe love and guilt are two different things, and I differentiated them clearly when I was still with him. I betrayed our marriage because of my feelings of guilt, not because of my love for him.”Jessica was the one who d
Jessica didn't know what to say after hearing Noah just say what was on his mind and heart, but for some reason, she felt familiar with the situation. The familiar feeling she felt in her heart made her anxious, her hands even moved to grip her jeans tightly as if asking for support from the blue fabric.“You probably think that my situation is similar to your children's situation, right?”Jessica felt her heart stop beating for a moment after hearing what Noah had just asked. It was actually impossible for her heart to stop beating while she was still alive, but she was truly surprised by the question. She finally understood why she felt anxious about Noah's story. That was because the story reminded her of her children.“I am the illegitimate child of that billionaire, and your children are the same even if their father is not a billionaire. They are very young now, but their lives are probably as full of drama as mine. Their lives will be full of lies a
After everything that happened to her five years ago, Jessica really didn't like surprises. Back then, many unexpected things happened to her, and none of them were pleasant surprises. That was why she felt traumatized by unexpected things, but today, she kept getting unexpected things since she came to the hospital to see her mother.First, a surprise came in the form of Noah, and second, it was in the form of the fact that her mother ended up living in Noah's old apartment. As if that wasn't enough, Noah then told her that he wanted to discuss a matter with her alone, and in the end, Jessica could only follow the man's lead.They were once again in Noah's car, and Jessica had fastened her seat belt. She prepared to look for something for her mother and her children's lunch, but she was puzzled because Noah did not start the car immediately.“Did you forget your wallet?” Confused, Jessica asked the man while looking at him.Her thinking was indee
In fact, Jessica had no plans at all to get into her ex-husband's car. Even her ex-husband's appearance at the hospital was not her plan at all, but in the end, she could only surrender and agree to get into the vehicle.Her mother first sat in the second row of seats with the twins, and she had no choice but to take the passenger seat next to the driver's seat. On the way to her mother's house, Noah, her mother, and the twins continued to chat happily about everything, but Jessica remained silent. None of those people seemed to notice her, and that was why she was lost in thought during the journey.She was actually drowned by the fact that she was passing through a route that she used to travel in the past. She didn't know her mother's new address, but she was sure that every street the car took was familiar to her eyes. It brought a feeling of nostalgia that both warmed and chilled her heart.At first, she ignored the familiarity she felt, assuming that
