★★The manor was adequately illuminated, and there were more guards than usual outside Lawrence Manor. As the opulent cars came to a halt in front of the manor one by one, families exited with overly extravagant appearances, continuing on with the belief that they had to appear wealthy and at the top of the game. Aside from that, everyone wanted to secure positions because the following day's news would be the main story.Due to the numerous visitors, Darren and Eva were unable to get a single moment to themselves. While Rilika was attending her friends at the drinking bar and Stefen had not been appeared in the party. Darren and Eva had not yet gotten a glimpse of him which made them a little apprehensive.“Where has Stefen been? Soon the Waver family will be here!" As people continued to stare at them, Darren questioned Eva while maintaining the smile.“Actually, I have no idea. Probably occupied with other people," Eva spoke quickly in response as she scanned the crowd for her
★★★ “Stefen, meet Mr. Waver and Mrs. Waver and beside them their only daughter Moon Waver,” Darren introduced the Waver family to his son who were pleased by Stefen's appearance and had learned the reason behind Moon's adoration for him. Although they questioned Moon about her encounter with Stefen, they were unable to obtain any information; however, their daughter's persistent forced them to accept the relationship. “We are all very appreciative of your visit, Mr. Waver. I hope you will treat us like members of your family," Stefen said with a smile as he scanned the Waver family before turning to their daughter Moon, who was unable to meet his eyes. She had a red flush to her cheeks, and everyone could see her nervously scrabbling the skin around her nails. With a smile, Stefen said, "You are lovely, Miss Moon.” Moon looked up and smiled sheepishly at Stefen. She was aware of how difficult it was for her to contain the beating of her heart, which had grown wings after seeing Stef
★★★Jessica and Cornell walked towards the grand entrance, which Cornell could barely recognize because of the marvelous decor. He maintained the pace with her mother, who was slower than a tortoise.Cornell, on the other hand, wanted to go inside with Liam, who was wearing the same suit as him. He wanted to show off their look together, but his mother convinced him that it was impossible.As Jessica's eyes landed on Liam speaking on the phone on the door with his bodyguard standing next to him, she immediately realized the constricted breath she was giving off. She was fervently hoping that Liam would enter first, grabbing everyone's attention, before she entered calmly. He was still standing by the door, though.“Mum, you are killing me. I have never walked like this. You live here as well. Stop portraying us as a bunch of food thieves seeking out free food."This slow crawling walk was becoming too much for Cornell, who could not stop himself from complaining.After taking a
★★★ “What is your strategy?” Jessica examined with her narrowed eyes as she contemplated what Liam was cooking in his head. Whatever he was thinking, she would be the only one to suffer the consequences. “I do not have any. If I have, you can not run away from it,” Liam smiled and continued, “My presence is valuable to everyone and everywhere, but do you want to know why I feel compelled to be here tonight?” Liam said with relaxed eyes, and showed no apprehension about people noticing, as he should have because his insignificant actions stood a good chance of making headlines. “I am sure you want to do something special for Rilika; how thoughtful of you. And there is your girlfriend slowly approaching us!" Jessica stated as she took a deep breath in preparation for another fantastic drama. “In this black dress, you look lovely, sister. Look, I'm not trying to be overly dramatic, but I am dying to get my hands on this gorgeous dress. Could you tell me where did you buy it?” Rilika
★★“I would like to introduce Funel Waver to you, Mr Liam. He is the CEO of Densun Industry, and more importantly, his daughter will soon be a part of this family,” Darren spoke while struggling to contain his joy over the fact that Stefen would not only become Waver's son-in-law but also the second head of the Dunsun industry. The Lawrence family's status would rise more significantly as a result of this small marriage agreement.Liam's attention, which had been on Stefen and Jessica, now turned to Darren and Funel Waver. However, he had not displayed any of the customary manners that are given when meeting new people.However, what Liam said to them later caught them off guard."Make sure that the wedding will be remembered as the most memorable event in the entire town. If anyone who needs more assistance should come to me,” Liam paused and this time his eyes went to Stefen, “Let me be clear: I do not want to appear powerful; instead, I prefer when things resolve themselves on
★★★ “What time did they leave?" Ben questioned the lazy girl who was splayed out like a pig on the couch. He was aware that the doctor had advised her to stay in bed for a week, but he thought she should try to walk around the garden for a bit instead of just lying there. “Several hours ago. Listen! Can you take me somewhere, please? Being in this room is choking me dangerously. I am willing to pay for your coffee,” Monica requested as her hazel eyes literally begged Ben to take her out. She yearned to breathe in some fresh air in this beautiful evening. As Ben noticed Monica's desire to leave the house, he paused his gaze on her. He had previously assumed that she enjoyed rolling around on the bed and the couch, but now she appeared to be suddenly looking for the sky to fly. “I do not have a lot of local knowledge. I do not know exactly where to take you," Ben said as he wiped his face and threw the towel on the chair. "I know a place where I used to visit," Monica said, grinning
★★★★“No one! I was looking for you,” Jessica told her son as she smiled at Cornell.“Why then tears in your eyes?” Cornell dismissed her mother's comments and questioned. He could tell that his mother was in pain from the look in her eyes, which revealed a pang she was not expecting to feel; If not, his mother knew how to get ready beforehand.“Tears!? What??" Jessica touched her eyes and noticed tears that she had not felt coming. She wiped them slowly and carefully to avoid smudging her eyes, then said,"I am not sure how my tears managed to ruin my makeup. By the way, do not leave my hands like that. At least, tell me where you are going so I can keep an eye on you." Jessica bowed her head and kissed Cornell on the cheek.“Hmm! I am going to be mindful, mom," Cornell said, restrained himself from pressing his mother for an answer when she was unable to provide one.“Let's go to grandfather,” Jessica said, went to Darren, and joined everyone. Jessica bowed her head so the pho
★★ “What's going on, Rilika? Why is your boyfriend acting as if he does not know who you are?" Rilika's friend inquired, who had been closely monitoring Liam since his arrival, not because she was concerned about Rilika, but because she wanted confirmation they had split up, which would make her path a little easier towards Liam. Her father advised her that there would be many wealthy families in the Lawrence family, and she needed to make sure she captured any of their attention. But ever since Liam entered the party, he had her attention, and she was powerless to stop herself from having dreams about talking to him. She tried to go close the bar a few times, but could not do so, because of the bodyguard next to Liam, who was like a terrifying creature shooting daggers whoever tried to get close to Liam. “I am able to discern the gaze of yours toward him. Bitch, I am capable of murdering people, so stop creating fantasies for yourself. Whatever is going on between us will be resol

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.
