★★ “Have you gone mad? Marrying you, really. Huh! I would like you to break out of your hallucination, and if you refuse to allow us to leave here, others will come to find us, which you already know." Jessica was perplexed when Chris abruptly revealed that their marriage would take place today. She was unable to determine if something had happened to Chris or if he had taken drugs that rendered him unrecognizable in her eyes. “Who, Liam or Ben!” Chris grinned as he said the names of the two individuals Jessica was hoping would be able to assist her. “Why are you acting so sick? We have known you for a long time, but this can not be you. Or break our slumber by telling us that because we were influenced by your deceiving skin, we were always fools who just happened to dwell in the dark,” Incredulous by the fear, Jessica questioned. She was experiencing genuine fear in her bones with each passing second she stood in front of him. “Jess, there is nothing wrong with me. Because of yo
★★★The white sweet pea and orchid enhanced the beauty of the sand, while the soothing murmur of the waves added to the sense of tranquility. Seagulls had been seen flying overhead, over the location where Chris and Jessica's wedding will take place,Chris was standing on the stage for Jessica to come. He put on a flawless caravan suit that complemented his attractive form, and Cornell, who wore a suit as well, was standing next to him with a dejected expression. Chris had warned him that if he made even the slightest mistake, his mother would suffer the consequences. In order to protect his mother from harm, he was therefore afraid to take any action.He had learned that the men in that place had firearms, therefore his rash approach, which he had planned, would result in a different scenario for them.“I see you assessing your surroundings, so are you hoping for Liam to arrive and save you and your mother? Do not let folly overcome your sharp mind!” Chris stated with a mocking l
★★★ The priest began the marriage ceremony with Chris and Jessica while Cornell stood next to him with a dour expression on his face, wondering why he had not considered even one technique to generate commotion in this place. If he had not gotten involved in any manner, there would have been no doubt that his mother ended up marrying Chris. At that moment, he observed a flamethrower and a packet of cigars on a small desk at the edge of the stage... The packet of cigars perplexed him because he had never known Chris to smoke, but he had once seen Stefen smoke a cigar. But it hadn't been so crucial to think about Chris's interest because he had never been a good guy and had successfully deceived them with his excellent appearance; as a result, Cornell had a strong suspicion that Chris had been hiding a lot more from them. However, he had an extremely frightening thought: if he could start a fire in the linen cloth that had been used to decorate the stage, he could easily divert everyo
★★★ Jessica struggled to turn around since she felt immobile due to the tightness in her legs. Additionally, one of the reasons she turned stone was due to her terror of seeing the sight after what her ears had heard. Four of the dead Chris' men were sprawled on the sand, their blood turning the white sand into scarlet. She witnessed the horrifying scene. Fear filled Jessica's wide eyes as she noticed that the people who were alive just a few seconds prior had suddenly lying dead in front of her. When Jessica looked up from the bodies, she saw a man who was entirely dressed in black, including a mask covering his face. He was completely unrecognizable to her, but what really caused her to recoil was the gun he was holding and had been aiming at her. Jessica fearfully stepped back, not understanding whether the person was Chris' Man because no one would kill their own group member. In contrast, She had found no courage to run while her eyes remained fixated on the man. There was a c
★★★ “Stefen!” Jessica mumbled, her gaze fixed on Chris, while Stefen was nowhere in sight. She returned her gaze to Liam and said it again, "What exactly do you mean? Where is Stefen." “Chris does not exist. The person you are looking at was not actually born; rather, you can argue that he was made,” Liam replied to Jessica before settling his eyes on Chris, “Since your plan to stay in the skin has failed, I don't think you have any reason to continue being Chris. So, Stefen Lawrence, let her see your face,” Liam spoke, his voice was commanding and his eyes were as keen as a razor. “It is impossible, no! He is not Stefen." Jessica still did not grasp Liam's reference to Chris as Stefen, which was absurd to think about, let alone believe. Her thoughts were utterly disorganized, as if she was attempting to grasp the significance of what Liam was saying but was failing miserably. Jessica turned her focus back to Chris. She first saw Chris's restlessness, which instantly set off a
★★★“You never had a father, Darren Lawrence was never your actual father, and when it comes to Ben, I both saved him and killed him. This is known as balance, and just as I gave your son's life with my blood, I will take his life to restore the balance, as Satan enjoys doing,"Stefen gazed coldly at Jessica, but what worried her was an emptiness in his eyes, as if he affirmed to her that she was powerless to halt the awful consequence that he would soon bring to her life.At the same time, two men dragged Cornell in front of Jessica and Liam's eyes.“Mom!" Cornell yelled.Liam moved forward with trepidation when he noticed Cornell's forehead was bleeding from the same spot, dread welled up in his heart, and he felt the same pressure and anxiety he did that night.However, all of a sudden, bullets began to rain on Liam from every angle. None of the bullets, which were all unintentional, struck him in the flesh. Jessica, on the other hand, went stone in horror as she was unable t
★★★“Motherfucker!” Liam's scorched throat groused in wrath, and the rest of his body fumed up as he flung a fist at Stefen's face, immediately followed by another punch straight on his chest, forcing Stefen to start coughing violently."You must not touch my son," Liam lashed out and slammed Stefen in the face again, and this time the fragile bones in Stefen's nose snapped and blood flowed out immediately. Stefen stumbled to his feet.“You might not be aware that you have a son if I had not been there. Acknowledge your incapability to care for them. Jessica would have killed herself and your son a long time ago if it were not for me. You are a worthless individual who obtained all the delight without incurring any cost,” Stefen mocked Liam with a dark purpose.To insult Liam's proud attitude, Stefen purposefully chortled. At the same time, He took out a small knife from his collar which he had hidden in order to threaten Jessica if she tried to pull off her stunt in the wedding.
★★★ Jessica withdrew her body away from Cornell and turned to Liam while she heard the agony in his words, as if he had experienced the terror of losing a loved one and lacked the strength to watch her and Cornell disappear from his life. With Cornell in her arms, Jessica rose from the sand. She got caught up due to Liam's breakdown and failed to notice the prize Stefen had attained as a result of his actions. Jessica really wanted to give Liam a big embrace and tell him she and their son were not going anywhere. They would stay with him for as long as he asked them to be in his line of sight. Cornell held her mother's shoulders and looked up at the helicopter that was still hovering over them, but astonishingly the people did not harm them or make any attempt to shoot them, which led him to believe that they were Liam's people and everything he planned prior to coming here. "Liam!" Jessica called him by his name. Fear trembled behind her tone of fondness. She was emotional because

After two months; Date: 25th December ★★★ The temperature was bitterly cold, and the dismal atmosphere entirely barred the sun's rays from reaching the ground. But putting everything else aside, it was Christmas, and nothing could stop people from celebrating it. Even the teeth-chilling cold could not stop people from decking the streets with lights and decorations. The bells jingled on every door as people rejoiced in love and laughter at Santa's visit. Grey Manor was one of the town's most beautiful homes. People used to come here because they felt it was a ghostly and frigid spot, but after the wedding took place there, people began to notice a difference. It was no longer cold and dark but rather brightened up with colorful lights, and even the trees buried themselves in ornaments, giving a stunning appearance that made one want to stay a bit longer to appreciate it. A few bystanders chattered, "I never imagined this place would one day come back to life. It is really unexpec
★★★While Vlad received tea, bread, and cakes, the butler served Jessica nutritious meals in accordance with the doctor's advice.Liam wrapped a thin cloak over Jessica's shoulder and said, “Winter is almost here, therefore the temperature will soon feel severe. I do not want you to become sick with a cold."In front of Vlad, Liam gave Jessica a quick, light kiss on the head, showing that he cared nothing. He would provide Jessica with love and care if she needed it, regardless of what other people thought.“I am grateful. Will you join us at the table for breakfast?"When Jessica noticed Liam was not considering taking the empty seat next to her, she softly inquired.“No, I will join you soon after a stroll," Liam responded, placing the soup bowl in front of her and saying,"This is vegetable soup, drink it slowly. The doctor instructed me to give you at least twice a day, and you can have your tea later."Jessica could hardly recall ever having anyone take care of her after
★★★Jessica had a leisurely and relaxing shower. She left the bathroom after feeling a sense of calm across her entire body. She wore the same dress that had been handed to her in the lavatory. There was nothing to think much about, but when she looked in the mirror, she noticed how beautifully the dress accentuated her shape and made her appear youthful and beautiful.When she opened the door and stepped outside, she discovered that she was in the North Pole and had an aurora on top of her head. She briefly felt her heart leap up in her throat at the sight because everything seemed so real as if she were actually standing at the North Pole beneath the starry, pure sky with the aurora.“What is this?" she incoherently muttered.“Liam," She gently called his name. She knew he was responsible for this. He either intended to terrify her or had some other naughty scheme to enrage her. The room was illuminated throughout by the sudden appearance of a bright moon in the sky. At that mom
★★★“Stop fooling around. We are not alone in this house!” Jessica glared at Liam when she understood the meaning behind his words. He was a man of his word when it came to this nonsense and he would try every possible way to achieve it. Her nostrils flared with indignation.Jessica tried to push him away from her but stood tall before her. His face had bruises indeed, yet the roughness tempted her. The fluttering in her chest escalated into a wild crescendo at the scent of Liam's and the closeness made her think bold thoughts.“Your specific body language is impossible to interpret as a restriction. Do not mislead me, you want me as well,"Liam murmured as he put his palm to her cheek, brushing the delicate but warm flesh before running down to her neck. His finger created a spark against her flesh, deepening the flush.“You are talking nonsense! Your brain needs some space to think, so move," Jessica said as she hid her gaze in her hands to control the allure of Liam. He rekind
★★★ Jessica angled her head gently towards Liam, checking to see if he was sure, because if he was, then her mother was their daughter. Jessica reflected on Eva's statements from her father's birthday evening when she confounded her about her mother's identity, triggering her want to hunt for her mother's background, but circumstances refused to enable her time for it. Liam gave Jessica a nod while keeping her trembling hand in his to offer her a sense of security. He was aware this was an enormous blow to Jessica, who had yet to have a normal day, but since the Dawson family learned about Jessica, they were unable to resist coming into their house. Plus, his grandmother invited them, causing Liam to make the decision to clean every little thing in a day so that he could have a relaxing and happy moment with her alone. “Then what about Maggie?” Jessica whispered with a heavy heart. “Stefen brought her, and when she found out about you, she ran away. If not, I'll make sure she gets
★★★"I was always the daughter who never felt the love from her father. When I started enjoying my early adolescence, my mother left me. Although my life has not always been easy, I do not regret it because I now have my family—Cornell and Liam."The dream collided with reality.Jessica abruptly opened her eyes, confronting the intense rays of the sun, which was pouring its rejuvenation into the room. She felt something fresh this morning as if a lot had shifted in her life. She found herself in a familiar bedroom, and the specific perfume in that room was not unfamiliar to her; it was something she felt safe with.Jessica brushed her hand over the empty space next to her. Despite the fact that the space was unoccupied, she could sense a mild warmth there, indicating that someone had slept there.Jessica recalled visiting the hospital for a checkup, and when she went to meet Ben, his predicament had upended her condition harshly, causing Jessica to immediately pass out. Perhaps,
