★★★ South Hampton was rocked by a loud clamor as the morning began, but the real thunder crashed into Lawrence Manor when Rilika's lifeless body was carried inside. The officials stated that they had not located Stefen's body, but his car was discovered alongside Rilika's. According to the officials, either an animal had taken Stefen's body or he had already been retrieved. Eva had been sitting on the floor since learning about the accident. She was staring at her daughter's body with a blank gaze. Her beautiful daughter was no longer speaking to her, that did not indicate she was dead. They had talked and eaten together the day before, and Rilika had stated that she would surely return home. Eva did not believe anything had happened to her daughter. Eva smiled as she knelt next to Rilika's body and quickly cleaned the wound on her face while muttering, “I have contacted the doctor, and he will be here shortly to treat you. On your face, there will not be any more discomfort or brui
★★★Liam came to a halt when he heard people chatter in front of Jessica's ward, his heart began to pound somewhat out of a small amount of minor panic. Even though he did not believe what his grandma said, the possibility that he did not want to accept lingered in the back of his mind as a result of what his grandmother words.The ward door suddenly opened, and Jaiden went out, colliding with Liam, who was about to enter."What brings you here, Liam? Has the doctor already examined you? Your blood pressure is unstable, necessitating more rest and less stress." Jaiden said this while obstructing Liam's view with his body since he did not want Liam to erupt in wrath once he saw what was going on inside Jessica's ward.“Move! If I don't immediately give you the idea that I'm sick when you see me, then I am well. By the way, I want to know who is in the ward, so please curb my curiosity,” Liam confronted Jaiden, who was present in Jessica's room, proving that he was aware of the indi
★★★ “I struggle to handle humor well, in particular when I am feeling like punching someone," Liam responded to Chris as he drew closer to him, alarmed Jessica that at any minute both of these men would start trading blows. Jessica was hesitant to tell Liam about the matter, but she became aware that if she remained silent, she would cause chaos and who knows who would suffer. As a result, she explained, "He is correct, Liam. The Doctor tested their DNA, which was discovered to be nearly ninety percent similar. It cannot be more true if I accept him as Cornell's father." Liam shifted his head in silence towards Jessica, who was crying with her eyes looking down at her hand, where the tears of anguish she had collected. Her demeanor and refusal to glance into his eyes made it plain she was not feigning and Liam was instantaneously engulfed in panic. “And you have confidence in that." Liam's head halted directly in front of Jessica's drooping face as he filled the space between the
★★★“Your consent will not alter the fact that Chris is Cornell's biological father and has the legal authority to control Cornell's life. I think you should return to your grandma instead of making a scene in this room since she is looking for you and came running here to meet you,"Jaiden angrily confronted Liam when he discovered Liam was adamantly refusing to accept reality.“Who are you to say who should be Cornell's father? He is a liar, and I am confident that he utilized some policy to make this happen, either because the doctor was one of his employees or because he changed the report," Liam spat angrily, tracing a line between his belief and the reality that had been changed quite neatly to the eyes.Instead of giving Liam the chance to respond, Jaiden seized a moment of silence. He had underestimated the severity of his friend's plight. If a person was unwilling to learn, they could not be taught a lesson. Liam would just make things more difficult for everyone by doing
★★★ “You heard me?!" Liam's relaxed face was tinged with doubt since he did not anticipate Cornell to hear his voice because he was unconscious as a result of the accident. “Yes, I did hear you calling, and I tried to open my eyes, but I could not,” Cornell responded to Liam, unaware of the impact his remarks had on Liam and Jessica. They could sense deep within Cornell's attachment to Liam; the bond they shared was unshakable. Jessica couldn't even think how she would tell Cornell the truth, which would shock him because he had already demonstrated his unwillingness to accept Chris as his father. “I indeed address you as my son because you are my son,” Liam spoke as he experienced a sense of pride in his heart, knowing how much Cornell wanted him to be his father, but the shocking part was that it was not only a connection that they were looking forward to building, but that both he and Cornell felt the same drive for one other. Cornell's face lit up with delight as he realized th
★★★“You are not my father, and you have no right to teach whom I care for or not. It is admirable that you take care of her considering that you are to blame for all of the problems that have come her way thus far. Even so, she is unable to escape the dangers. Your conceited grandmother has gone to great lengths to offend her,” Chris stated coldly. Though Liam was hostile, Chris was calm in comparison; after all, Jessica knew he was not lying.“You!” Liam was prepared to pounce on Chris to teach him some manners because he was riding high on the back of a bogus report he had managed to create and make innocent Jessica stumble over.But his chest felt a hand give him a push. Glancing down his eyes met Jessica's strong look which caused him to comprehend that she did not want any more confrontation between them, as a result, he drew his body behind but that did not mean he stopped glaring at Chris.Jessica turned her back to Chris and said, “Give me a moment with him, Chris! Until
★★★ Just as Liam wanted, Jessica shoved Liam away from her before yelling at him, "I am not interested in what you think about it, but at the very least, you shouldn't defame someone you aren't acquainted with." Chris rushed to Jessica's aid as soon as he noticed her losing her cool with Liam. There had to be a reason for this, as Jessica was a calm person who would never want to get into a fight unless something really flowed over her patients. “What did he do again?” Chris questioned while directing his angry gaze at Liam. His words alarmed Jessica, who was still trying to figure out why Liam had made such a wish. However, Chris's presence behind her had now dispelled that theory. She quickly turned around before the situation escalated and Chris raised his fist at Liam. "Nothing, I believe we should go have something to eat," Jessica handled the situation nicely because she wanted to give Liam some time to tell her what she wanted to hear—that Chris was not Cornell's father. S
★★★“Grandmother, he is Cornell," Liam stated with a smile. His side eyes caught his grandmother's slight sense of wonder as she gazed at Cornell, which was how he felt first meeting Cornell in that lavatory.Cornell gave him a feeling Liam could never define with words, as if he had a deep connection with him, strong enough to make his heart swell with emotion, and since then he had been unable to stay away from him.“This is your grandmother!!?” With his brows pushed together in irritation, Cornell inquired as though he did not enjoy the fact that Liam's grandma was treating his mother badly.“Yes, and seems like my grandmother does not leave a good impression on you.”After saying this, Liam approached Cornell, crossing his grandmother, who was still shaken by the similarities she saw between the child and her grandson. She was familiar with her grandson's appearance because she watched him growing up. They were identical in terms of their facial features and eyes as if she we

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,
★★★ 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
★★★“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.
