★★★ “I need clarification, Jess,” Chris closed the door after stating this, creating a conversational area for them both. Although approaching her this way was not his first thought, since it was disrespectful. But her attitude was suddenly washing over his tolerance, and he was unable to maintain composure and ignore the situation. “But why was it necessary to close the door? Ben and Cornell could arrive at any time, and finding us behind the door cannot be acceptable. Their assumption will not cling to a typical fact, and I do not like it at all," Jessica spoke quickly, looking at Chris to see if there was any change had transpired in him. Despite the fact that they had known each other for a long time, they lived together for at least two months before she moved out, but now she unexpectedly felt the need to get away from Chris. “Why do you insist on making me feel as though I am tying you to me? We are friends and we used to share one another's happiness and sorrows. I assure
★★★“I went into his room one day and found another compartment that was open that day. I stepped into that place unintentionally and discovered so many creepy; Black substances, loads of medicines. Then I heard him using profanity while speaking to someone on the phone and telling the person he wanted someone's life, which meant killing someone. Before I could leave that place, Chris caught me and chastised me for sneaking him; he also threatened to inform my mother that I was picking up bad habits,”Cornell described the terrible event he had seen, but he kept it a secret from everyone—especially his mother, who viewed Chris as a close friend and frequently expressed how fortunate she was to have him around—for without Chris, they might have ended up on the road.“What?” Ben initially questioned with a bewildered expression, but when he realized Chris' room did include a compartment—which he never allowed anybody to access—his expression transformed to one of struggle. Intoxicate
★★★ “His body became unstable as a result of severe stress; perhaps you will be able to determine what is giving him discomfort. Aside from that, I had the impression that he had given a lot of blood that had not been compensated and that duress had caused his balance to become irregular.” The cause of Chris' unexpected unconsciousness was found after the doctor checked the pulses. Ben turned his gaze in the direction of Jessica, who was listening intently to the doctor and keeping an anxious eye on her feet. On her expression, remorse was evident and deeply ingrained. There was no need to explain to him who was the source of Chris's cause for concern, but he had no idea what was triggered in such a little period between them that such a major incident had occurred. Jessica stepped closer to the doctor, who had risen from his bed. He was ready to depart. But before leaving, he had taught them what they needed to know in order to care for the patient. "Approximately how long will i
★★“Gifts!” Jessica's eyes narrowed in perplexity at Liam's grandmother before settling on the collection of presents lying on the ground next to the couch and wrapped in shimmering paper. They had not caught her attention due to her brain being occupied by the thought of Liam's grandmother's visit and the reason behind it. Besides, she had no energy to bicker with Liam's Grandmother, as a result, Jessica analyzed the situation.Cornell cocked his head up to get a better look at the gifts that had been provided for him, and he was utterly perplexed as to why gifts were being given to him.“Why did you bring this gift for me? It is not my birthday or any other event where I need gifts," Cornell questioned Liam's grandma while researching the likelihood of such grandeur. He was completely ignorant of the personalities of such, though, who might be rude one moment and then show affability the next.Liam's grandmother briefly coughed before continuing, trying to contain her embarrassm
★★★ “We are unable to go with you because Chris is not in good health. But you and Liam could visit us anytime,” Cornell politely declined Liam's grandmother while keeping Chris in mind. It would not be grateful to Chris if he went to Liam's place to spend time disregarding Chris' health. Cornell, no matter how he felt about him, couldn't deny his importance in their lives, so he wanted to be a little respectful and they could always go to Liam's house altar. A dense cloud of discouragement filled Liam's grandmother's eyes as she fixed her attention on Cornell for quite some time before responding, "I understand; you care about your father." A weight instilled a sensation in her that she was unhappy thinking Cornell was not Liam's son. But she was not quite prepared to accept it. "You are welcome to my place whenever you want," she added, taking a big breath and she rose from her seat, "It's becoming late, and I have to get back. I trust you'll enjoy my offerings." Liam's grandma
★★★“There was a doctor there who was the subject of numerous complaints alleging that he had used DNA in some appalling ways and that he was proud of his achievement. He was able to change someone else's DNA.”Jaiden admitted, his gaze fixed on the glass in his fingers. This one notion had been gnawing at him since last night. Despite his efforts to contact many people in that particular hospital, no one was able to provide him with any information on the doctor's whereabouts. Everyone claimed that after being released from prison, the doctor evaporated into thin air.“Do you really think Chris could pull off something like that?”Liam asked inquisitively, his eyes displaying a different excitement as if he had found a justification to expose Chris in front of Jessica, at which point he would waste no time in breaking his hands and legs.“No, it is not a matter of belief; if it were, I would have stayed with the report. I only want to do it for you, but you must guarantee that o
★★★ The room was filled with warm sunlight that filtered through the binds and landed on the bed's edge where her hand was resting. As a result, Jessica opened her eyes and moaned annoyingly. According to Jessica, the morning came rather early. Her eyes still felt heavy to her. When she turned to her side she noticed Cornell sitting there holding his tablet. “What time did you awaken?” she inquired. “Not for long. I have also washed my teeth. The bathroom, by the way, is rather lovely. Chris must have spent a lot of money on such a house," Cornell speculated. “Has nobody arrived to wake us up?" Jessica asked as she left the bed. “Nah, and I discovered that the house was quite silent," Cornell stated. "Maybe everyone is downstairs," Jessica remarked as she entered the lavatory. “Perhaps, no one is home,” Cornell murmured to himself. Chris was seated alone at the breakfast table when Jessica and Cornell showed up, and Ben was nowhere to be seen. “Good morning, Chris! How do you
★★★“I do not work for anyone, so I am not Liam's man. Also, why would he harm his fiancée in this way? I suppose he is the hero who will come here to save you without paying attention to his life... Don't you think he will come?"Vlad grinned as he made the remark on purpose since he found Maggie's shocked expression humorous.As soon as Maggie heard a deep, chilly voice, she forced herself to hold her breath because she felt as though a demon from hell had materialized in front of her to steal her soul after toying with her. She also couldn't control her shaking. The only sensation circulating throughout her body was terror, which made it impossible to gauge how much fear she was feeling.Her pitch wavered as she inquired about, while her tears gave in,"Do you want money? If that is what you are searching for, find my family and call them; otherwise, I cannot help you."“Are you sure your family is rich enough to pay money as per our demand?” Vlad asked as he had taken a plac

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.
