Instead of helping, Tanya, Jacob’s mother, scolded Gwen’s father. She even said, “My son has ended his relationship with your daughter. Please don’t disturb me again!” Then she ended the call. Gwen’s father was too shocked to say anything. He put the phone on the table. His wife stared at him and impatiently asked, “What did Jacob’s parents say?” “It’s his mother who picked up my call. She said Jacob has already ended their relationship with Gwen.” “What?! But they will get married in a few months. How can he end the relationship so easily?” Gwen’s father said nothing. Since his wife kept complaining, finally he snapped. “Stop it! It’s your fault! You didn’t teach Gwen well. Now she is humiliating our family. She can’t even keep her fiance!” “Don’t talk to me like that! You, as her father, what did you do to teach her too? Huh? Why did you only blame me?” Gwen’s father rushed to leave his wife, but Gwen’s mother held his arm. He pulled his arm, but his strength to pull his a
Amy stared at Samuel and asked, “Who are the ones you considered as my enemies?” Samuel shrugged. “Well, for sure, your uncle. He has been taken care of. Then, Gwen Johnson, you don’t need to think about her either. I have given her a lesson. But then, I’m surprised to see karma works even better than my plan.” “What did you do?” “Well, it’s enough to say that I wanted to give her a lesson, so she wouldn’t make trouble with you anymore. The last thing I heard is she wanted to ruin your name.” “What?!” Amy gasped. “But I have done nothing bad to her. Even after catching her with Jacob, I didn’t take revenge on her.” He let out a sigh and hugged Amy. Caressing her hair, he said, “You are too kind, darling. That’s why people can take advantage and trample on you.” “I believe everything will have a consequence, whether it is good or bad. I believe when we do good, then goodness will return to us. However, if we do bad things, we will pay for it too.” Samuel said nothing. He carrie
The informants and guards whom Samuel hired could see what happened. They scratched their hair and shrugged as they suspected the worst. “Our boss won’t like this,” one informant said. “Hey, but there may be a good explanation for this. Mrs. Hoffner doesn’t seem like a foolish woman to me. You must see when she looked at our boss. I think she loves him. So, I’m sure there is a good explanation for this.” The first man rubbed his jaw. “It’s true. Also, I can see how much our boss loves his wife. I was shocked at first to know he was married. But then, after seeing her, I can see how suitable both of them are together.” “Hmm? How?” “Well, you know, our boss is wealthy and powerful. He is handsome too. Then our madam is young and quite pretty. She is nice and kind. I wonder if her appearance or character that attracted our boss.” “Maybe both?” another guard said. The first one shrugged. “Maybe. But I may ask her driver first. Who knows if he knows more information?” “Good idea!”
Tanya locked her working room. She took all photos and spread them on her table. It was obvious Jacob had sex with the woman in the photo. From the date, it was before the fall of Gwen’s father from his position. How could her son dare to do such a thing? She inspected the woman’s picture. After a while, Tanya frowned and shook her head, but then she let out a sigh and sent a text message to Jacob. ‘Come to the modiste now!’ Jacob wondered why his mother wanted him to come there. He knew it was a peak season, so Tanya must be quite busy. But as she asked him to come, Jacob finally went there. When he went inside, some models grinned at him. One even touched his upper arm and whispered, “Hi Jacob, if you need someone to accompany you to a gala dinner or fashion show, let me know. I can help.” The model even winked and touched her chest to his arm. He scratched his head because he had never experienced it before. The models there usually were polite to him. But now it was differen
Jacob called Amy, but she ignored it. After three times, he finally sent a text message. ‘Amy, I need your help badly. Can we talk? I promise I won’t take your time for a long time.’ Amy read the message, but she was torn between whether to reply or ignore it too. After thinking for a while, she decided to not reply to the message. However, Jacob sent another text message. ‘My family is in big trouble. It’s about life and death situations. Can you lend me money?’ She finally called him. “What happened?” “Oh, thank goodness! It’s my father. He is caught by someone. The one who caught him demanded so much money. If we don’t send it to them, my father will be killed.” Amy gasped. “Oh, no! How much do they ask?” “Twenty billion ….” “What?! How can they ask so much money?” “My father has a debt, a gambling debt. They sent my mother a piece of my father’s little finger.” Jacob’s voice trembled. “If you have it, can I borrow the money? I know it may take a lifetime to pay for it, bu
Letting go of an enemy was a hard thing for Samuel, as he had already planned everything to bring destruction to his wife’s ex-fiance. However, it’s her wish, so he granted it. The business contract signing would take place tomorrow at 8 a.m. Then he could go home. He missed Amy badly. It was a wonder he only spent two days away from her, but he couldn’t wait to see and meet with his wife again. When he was about to sleep, Samuel thought about the whole thing. Amy confessed to him she didn’t love Jacob, but who could know the truth? He sighed, as jealousy was a new thing for him. He had never felt jealous of any women before. The morning finally came. Samuel prepared himself to meet with his new business colleague. He read a text message from Amy. ‘Good morning, my husband. Have a safe trip. I can’t wait to meet you soon!’ Amy left a heart-shaped emoticon and a kiss in her text. He grinned to see that and promised himself to spoil Amy when he went home today. After being ready,
Three months went by so quickly as Amy finally graduated from her study. Vivian and Samuel attended her graduation day. Many of her ex-friends gaped when Samuel and Amy walked holding hands. They knew who Samuel was, but it was the first time for them to see him with Amy. Caroline hugged Amy and shook hands with Samuel and Vivian. She graduated too, and her parents greeted Amy, Samuel, and Vivian. It was a lovely day as everything went well. Some of Amy’s ex-friend stared at her with envy as Samuel looked dazzling that day. Especially how he showed his affection to her, as if he wanted to show off that Amy was his wife. They went to the new fine dining restaurant to celebrate Amy’s graduation. The manager greeted and escorted them personally to their table. Then they waited for the server to bring their meals. They didn’t order any menu as the chef’s specialty menu was their menu for today. Vivian patted Amy’s hand and smiled. “You look lovely, my dear. I’m so happy and proud to
Many celebrities attended the gala dinner. Amy could mention some of the Academy Award winners actors and actresses were there. The politicians and businessmen swarmed the dance floor and the dining room. Vivian attended the gala dinner too and sat next to Amy. Many people stopped at their table and shook hands with Samuel. Then he would introduce them to Vivian and Amy. It surprised many of them to see Amy. It’s true they heard from the news about his marriage and honeymoon in Paris, but then there wasn’t any clear close-up picture of Amy’s face. So, after seeing how young she was, they made an assumption Samuel married her because of her young age. Cecilia Smith, Samuel’s ex-date, attended the gala dinner too. She was a model to parade the newest clothes from the House of High Season and the jewelry from Enchanting You. Cecilia stopped and looked around. Her stare froze when she stared at Samuel and Amy. However, Samuel ignored Cecilia and wrapped his arm around his wife’s slen
