★★★ Jessica changed into her yellow dress, which she had washed the night before and was now ready to wear. She took her phone and walked out of the guestroom. As she stepped down the stairs, she opened her call log to make a call to her home. “What are you doing here, Jess?” Jessica raised her head from her phone to the hallway, where Stefen could be seen, standing with his hands in his pockets. Jessica's heart sank as she noted Stefen had seen her at Liam's house and that he would undoubtedly inform her father of the incident. Lawrence family members were not going to treat this lightly, and there was an increasing likelihood that she would be kicked out of Lawrence Manor at this point. “I came here to see Liam about a work," Jessica descended the stairs and met Stefen’s stoic face. Jessica was able to deduce his source of rage. His sister had been betrayed by her and Liam, which no brother would take it with cool heart. “In his house??!! Have you just exited his bedroom?” Ste
★★★ “Stefen, reduce the speed of the vehicle," Jessica screamed while firmly grasping Stefen's shirt with one hand and the seat belt with the other. Stefan had pushed the vehicle's speed past the limit. The fear of being involved in an accident overflowed onto her head, and she was unable to see anything in front of her eyes. “Stefen, are you not going to pay attention? Stefen, what is the point of all this craziness? Please try to understand that I have a son,” Jessica looked at the road, where she could hardly see any cars, and pleaded sincerely. She was helpless to do anything as it all blurred before her eyes. When Jessica turned to face Stefen, she noticed that his clenched jaw and protruding veins on the side of his neck were signs of anger. Jessica had no idea until now that Stefen intended to harm her in order to preserve Rilika's love. The car finally came to a halt, giving both passengers a violent jerk, but no impact occurred because they were wearing seatbelts. Jessica
★★★“And you did not find the time to let me know about this matter. Are you really crazy, or what?” Liam yelled at David at the breakfast table after hearing that Cornell had been chased by a killer. “Boss, I was anxious learning that you had been attacked in Lanai, it had gotten me so badly that I completely forgot about Cornell. I then decided to discuss it with you once you arrived here,"David gave an explanation of why it took him so long to inform him about Cornell. He really wanted to tell the boss, but after learning that the boss had been attacked, his stress about the boss got so bad that he forgot all about it. When David went to finally pick him up, he discovered Liam to be unconscious.Liam put his fork and knife down in apprehension, not having any reason to the kid to be attacked of until someone close hovering intention to harm against him.“Does Jessica know?” Liam questioned, deepening the frown on his forehead.David responded, "I am skeptical about that. If
★★★ “Stefen, I have had enough of your safeguards. You even start breaking our father's word. Arthur is here because our father gave him permission to seek a reconciliation with Jessica. After his uncle passed away, Arthur takes over ownership of the Ros industry. Jessica will always be content with her son by his side. Also, keep in mind that they were once your lover.” Stefen and Rilika had a conversation in the car about the situation. Rilika believed she could help Stefen comprehend Arthur's presence. However, Stefen's opening of his mouth made her mad. "The lover, huh! To whom you slept with in college. This is your strategies to get Arthur to go after Jessica again. Dad was thinking about the wealth that escaped his grasp, but after meeting Arthur, he starts dreaming all over again." “Stefen,” Rilika bellowed, gritting her teeth at Stefen. “Do I hurt your purity? You detest listening to it simply because you yearn to be Liam Grey's wife. Stop making Jessica's life difficult,
★★★ Cornell and Jessica made the decision to visit the mall, and Ben would soon join them as well. "Jess, I am a little nervous about you going out with Cornell by yourself," Monica voiced her worry as she sat on the couch and watched Jessica seized the car keys from the table next to the couch. “I have to go, but Cornell can stay. I have advised him numerous times that there is absolutely nothing that can attract him, but he refuses to listen to his mother's words,” Jessica sighed and gazed at her son who was waiting at the door because he suspected his mother was looking for ways to avoid having to take him with her. “No, If you refrain from taking me with you, I will not open the door to the room for the rest of the night." Cornell resolutely asserted himself as he was disappointed by her mother's refusal to take him. He did not want to go because he wanted to have fun; instead, he did it out of concern that those people might hurt his mother. Monica noticed Cornell and though
★★★“Liam, how about you give me some suggestions regarding the birthday gift for my dad?” said Rilika as she continued to follow his line of sight as it remained fixed on Jessica and her son until they did not leave their field of vision.She made no attempt to find out how far Liam and Jessica's relationship had progressed, but she felt the thriving nervousness in her heart. After seeing Stefen's monster face, she could no longer feel comfortable interacting with him, which made her predicament more complicated.On the other hand, Arthur followed Jessica and Cornell despite being warned by Liam's accusatory glances, which he disregarded because he did not believe Liam had any business with Jessica.“I no longer interested looking at people's faces. You may freely browse any store you choose. If you come across anything you like, take it home without worrying about the cost," Liam said it to her curtly. Rilika abruptly became confused as to what had enraged Liam. She put a great
★★★ "Arthur, would you please back away from me? I am aware of what you are trying to accomplish, regardless of whose advice you are taking, but nothing would work. We're too old for this, please,” Jessica spat after holding her immense anger in her throat. Up until this point, she had always been courteous towards Arthur, who was constantly invading her personal space and made her feel constricted. “What? No one has said me to do anything, it is completely my choice. Since I last saw you, Jess, I have been thinking about reaching out to you to ask for your forgiveness for what I have done in the past. Time has taught me a valuable lesson, and I think that seeing you again has a purpose as well. My persistent nagging is an attempt to put things right. One opportunity to demonstrate my loyalty,” Arthur begged Jessica as his hand reached for her shoulder, which Jessica quickly avoided by retreating her feet. Her expression was void; no annoyance, no sympathy. She sighed deeply and sai
★★★“Which one has your attention, son?"Jessica commented as she combed Cornell's unruly hair from his forehead to his behind. She was genuinely debating why Cornell was taking such careful consideration to select a Piano.“I will let you know, mom, which one makes me feel good,” Jessica raised an eyebrow at Cornell's comment because she had not anticipated hearing such serious words."Alright!" She said and looked around, suddenly her phone rang in her bag. Jessica hastily shoved her hand inside and pulled her phone out of her bag."Ben!”She muttered, before turning her head to face Cornell, and said, "You keep watching whatever you want to watch while I talk to Ben; perhaps he has arrived to pick us up."After taking a brief break from studying the instrument, Cornell sweetly asked his mother, "Mom, after Ben comes, can we go to the Mac for burgers?"“Perhaps, we can,” Jessica answered vaguely and walked away from Cornell to talk to Ben on the phone.“Ben, I do not think

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.
