★★★When the meals were prepared and placed on the wooden table, it was half past nine. Due to the cabin being surrounded by trees, the quiet sound of fireflies and the noise of moving cutlery were combined. Three people sat at the table and started to enjoy the delicious supper that Jessica had prepared.Three bowls of ramen, together with bread and a unique sauce that Liam had never tasted before, were served. Liam was unable to control his desire to taste the sauce repeatedly.At that point, Cornell put down his spoon and exclaimed,"Mom, everything is excellent, but I am out of places to eat more. Can I retire to my room while you and Liam have dinner?""Are you certain?" Jessica inquired as to if he was full.“Yes, mom. I cannot consume food anymore," Cornell remarked with a rush in his voice, and handed Jessica the half-eaten Ramen."Alright!! But do not go to bed without brushing your teeth," Jessica reminded him what he needed to do before falling asleep.“As you have
★★★ “Your dislike for him will not change the fact that he is a good man and a useful friend, which is why I have never made him feel terrible or intentionally hurt his emotions. Otherwise, I prevent letting him be near me," Jessica murmured, her eyes fixed on the glass as she recalled some moments of her past, and they felt painful still. Then she brought the wine close to her mouth and took a little sip of the sweet wine. Liam found her lost as she displayed how she felt towards that jerk; it made him ponder about what had happened to her in the past that had given her so much sorrow. Rilika had told him that her step-sister had gone abroad to study but had become pregnant. He was not interested in Jessica's story at the time primarily because he was unfamiliar with her. Consequently, he had no idea that the same person was going to amaze him and lure him into her world. And now, he felt an impulse in his body to discover more about her past while also wanting to usurp Chris' plac
★★★★“How did you come to like Rilika, then? She would not be your first option for a girlfriend if I understand you correctly,”Jessica muttered while simultaneously displaying intense emotion on every inch of her face. She might not be able to explain her motivation for asking this. Her heart was the one that compelled her to talk about it.Liam inhaled deeply, wondering why it had taken her so long to ask him about this when he had anticipated to hear from her sooner.“I was at a small party seven years ago with some well-known businessmen in attendance. Under my nose, my drinks had been tampered with by a businessman, so I was severely intoxicated. After that, I found myself in my room, totally unconscious, when...!!”"Mumma! Mumma!”They sprang out of panic when they both heard Cornell scream from the room. They stepped out of one other's grasp and rushed towards the room.“Cornell, what happened?” Jessica held her son in her embrace.“I saw a light flash outside of the w
★★★ Because everyone had gone asleep in their respective rooms, the cabin grew silent, as a result, the faint sound of insects became louder, but it was still pleasant to sleep in them. Cornell had his head on the pillow, but his hand gripped Jessica's arm securely, as though he felt safe with her touch. Jessica was also in a deep sleep since she was exhausted from the travel and the additional tiredness from last-minute cooking. This was not the case with Liam, who tossed and turned on the bed for almost a full hour but was unable to get his eyes to close. He felt lonely and had to put up with the aggravation of not being able to grab her in his arm, even though they were very close to each other. In frustration, Liam sat up and surveyed his room. There was a thought in his mind that made him ponder for a brief movement, and he could not stay on the bed. He tossed the sheet aside and walked towards the door, before exiting. Liam approached Jessica's room, unsure whether it was app
★★★Jessica reluctantly moved her head at Liam and looked intently into his eyes. She was unable to adequately describe the beauty of his eyes, which were obscured by a dark cloud and filled with a sense of ecstasy that made her want to stay there longer because that was where peace dwelt.“I am not envious, but it does not mean any lady will want to wear someone else's used clothes, especially when I can borrow my own clothes if you let me know in advance about this trip you are planning," Jessica answered, making an effort to contain her aberrant reddish hue.“I can see right into your soul, therefore you cannot fool me," Liam uttered huskily and breathed in her aroma, which had combined with a floral scent since she had taken a shower before getting into bed. He did not know much about women, and this topic had never really interested him. However, ever since he met Jessica, a lot of things had come along with her that he wanted to touch and appreciate, even though he could not
★★★ “Stefen,” a female voice called Stefen from behind when he was smoking outside of a bar after ending the life of that doctor. He wanted to run back to Jessica's house to see if she had returned, but a sudden impulse to smoke caused him to pull over. When he turned around, he saw Moon Waver with her pals, and the bags in their hands displayed that they were on their way home after shopping. Stefen did not let go of the cigarette, and neither he revealed any sort of smile at Moon who excitedly walked up to him along with her friends. “Are you planning to visit the pub behind you?" Moon asked Stefen as she peered over his shoulder to the bustling bar. Her hesitation could be felt in her voice since she did not think Stefen would be of the mindset to appreciate music given that Mr. Lawrence was in such poor condition. “No, this is not my choice, ever,” Stefen responded, blowing a chunk of smoke to the side in order to avoid making them uncomfortable. "Are you returning home?" He
★★★"Where are we going?" Jessica murmured as she calmly followed Liam to where he wanted her to go, ignoring their sleep.“Just follow me and you will love it," Liam said and started to climb the rooftop. As he did so, he looked down to check whether Jessica was having any difficulty doing so. He had no issue scooping her up on his shoulder and continuing to climb the rooftop.Jessica was perplexed when she discovered Liam was taking her on the rooftop; she had no idea why, and more peculiarly, a chill immediately came into contact with her due to the dense foliage. The cold made her teeth itch, but she did not complain because Liam seemed excited about whatever was going on the rooftop.As soon as she stepped onto the rooftop, she was astounded by the scene below, the cloud of fireflies roaming around the house, illuminating the ground. Looking up Jessica drank the beauty of the sky—most likely—the enormous moon that was clearly visible in the sky."Come here!” When she heard L
★★★ “If you give me some time, I will find that person for you. I shall impart the harshest lesson on both Rilika and her companion, regardless of who it is." As his hand reached beneath the blanket and seized her palm in his, Liam murmured under his breath, his eyes steely. Though the anger was evident on his face, his body was filled with concern, which he expressed to Jessica in an effort to calm her. “I believe that fate has punished her cruelly because the person she is crazy in love with has been cheating on her with her step-sister. Trust me, I thought of stealing you from her so I could inflict agonizing suffering on her but remembering Cornell, I kept my thoughts from corrupting with wicked ideas,” Jessica switched her gaze from Liam's chest to his face, allowing her to see his pointed chin as she sincerely confessed about the covert plots she had hatched against Rilika and Liam. “Haha! Such a cunning strategy you devised against me, yet if you ask me, I would prefer you d

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.
