Fiona looks at Eric, astonished by what he has just spoken. Everything feels surreal, and she finds it difficult to believe. She scoffed and shook her head. "You are so foolish, Eric. You are so foolish, blind, and dumb that you are not even aware of the stupid, costly error you are currently making." She speaks, causing Eric to grimace slightly where he stands. He simply shrugs. "I honestly do not see a wrong in what I just accomplished. It was one of the smartest moves I ever made." Eric expresses confidence in himself. He knows he needs to do it. With everything going on, he is not prepared to deal with her manipulative tendencies. Jenna is currently at risk, and he must do everything in his power to keep her from discovering anything about Jenna. However, the glance Fiona gives him causes him to shake slightly. He wonders what kind of game she is trying to play right now as she throws him the most glare he has ever seen. She scoffed and shook her head. "I am going to hand i
Eric makes every effort to keep his composure and avoid giving Fiona any clues through his behavior. He understands that he must behave sensibly and avoid acting foolishly in front of her, making a fool of himself in a way that would reassure her that she is unquestionably on the right path. As if to tell her that she is talking gibberish, he just scoffs and waves her away. "What leads you to believe that I have become involved with someone else? Fiona, I am by myself, and I can tell you that I am in the best place I have ever been—alone with myself, living my life, and not having to worry about you to tell me what to do. "You were nothing more than a jail," he utters, drawing a fierce stare from her. "Eric, you are undoubtedly hiding something from me. You can not hide it indefinitely. I will locate it," she declares. Eric simply shakes his head and scoffs, then waves her away. "Fiona, you are talking in parables. To be honest, I have no idea why you have started speaking in thi
Fiona rubs her hands firmly together, a look of contempt on her face as she looks at Jenna's lovely photo on her phone. She quietly says to herself, "He is so silly." For a student in high school, he had to put me out of his mind. Is he paying attention to his choices these days?" She grinds her teeth together and murmurs to herself. She gives a quick shake of her head in an attempt to relax herself, but she is finding it very difficult. Calmly, she states, "This is just craziness, and I am not going to let this pass by." She puts the phone back against her ears after saying to herself in a composed manner. "Do not worry, I will take care of this right away. Give me a few minutes, and I will get your money to you as quickly as I can." The man chuckles, "I know that you do not disappoint, Mrs. Fiona, and I trust you." I was therefore excited and prepared to start working for you as soon as your assistant sent me the information. "You know where to find me for any future tasks, s
For a few moments, Jenna stands in front of the cafeteria, a lot of ideas racing through her mind. She can not squander time because she knows she must complete her task one way or another. She needs to go quickly, but her anxiety gets the better of her. She is experiencing an extreme overload of conflicting feelings. "Will they disregard me? After this, will they stop interacting with me? Will they hold me in contempt?" But she can ignore the ideas and walks into the cafeteria right away, where she sees the three of them seated at a certain table, leaning against it as though they are lost in contemplation. She approaches them and sits down amongst them, and they stare at her, attempting to decipher whatever it is that she might be hiding at the moment. With a sharp swallow, Jenna puts her hands on the table and twiddles her fingers incessantly, trying to figure out where to begin. "We are paying attention." She recoils in her seat when she feels Alex's voice slam hard agai
As she takes in the stunning brunette woman in front of her with the most voluptuous features she has ever seen, Jenna is a little taken aback. She does not look like someone who should be visiting a high school, and one could easily mistake her for a supermodel. This causes Jenna to momentarily stop, and Alex, who had been trying to follow her in an attempt to calm her down, also momentarily pauses and steps back to view the situation. Jenna glances at the girl, grinning. "Pardon me, but how do you recognize my name?" The woman smiles at Jenna's question. "Well, I should have known it was you, of course. I have to say, you are beautiful." Jenna is forced to grin meekly as the lady speaks. She simply keeps moving in Jenna's direction. Subsequently, she gives her a cursory glance, seemingly displaying a disgusted expression. Then, she circles Jenna gently, as though attempting to identify every feature on her. Then she stops in front of Jenna at last, treating her with contempt.
What Jenna is staring at right now is shocking, to say the least. She is completely confused and unable to comprehend. The fact that she is not the only one in the world who is aware of this secret truly amazes her. Not even her mother is aware of it. Who is this woman, and how did she find out? The woman walks in front of her, causing her to quiver uncontrollably. "I assume you were unaware of the fact that the victim you killed was Eric's elder brother, is not that right?" Jenna looks at her questioningly, her eyes wide and confused, as if she does not even know what to think. "In any case, the fact remains that I am aware of your secret and that I possess the authority to reveal it, forgetting about your mediocre connection with Eric in the process." Jenna looks at the woman with wide eyes and trembles as she replies with a devious smirk on her lips. Deep down, Jenna is hoping that Alex is not listening to her during this whole thing. Fortunately for her, Alex has already depar
Later that night, Jenna enters Eric's flat after getting her mother's okay to see him and speak with him briefly. Eric is relaxing on his sofa, drinking wine, and has a broad expression of delight on his face. His eyes widen as soon as he sees her, and Jenna can not contain the happiness she sees on his face. He lets go of the cup on the living room center table and gets up to approach her right away. "Hello there," he says with a broad smile and composure. He hugs her tightly and says, "I can not believe I am seeing you right now." She almost bursts into tears, but she controls herself. She inhales deeply, tries to smile, and gives him a cool hug in return. "I am very sorry I was unable to accompany you on the date." Eric smiles as she says in a calm tone. "It is school-related, isn't it?" He asks, and she sheepishly looks away from him while forcing a grin. Her heart was pounding so hard in her chest that she felt like she was about to burst, but the only thing on her mind wa
Jenna can no longer stand it. Observing and appreciating his stunning features did not even alleviate the problems. After what Fiona had told her, she even committed the grave error of having further intercourse with him. This will just make her situation worse overall. How in the world is she still here? Is not her life at grave risk if Fiona intervenes and finds out that she has to expose her body to him despite what she had just said? She quickly removes herself from Eric and gets dressed as quickly as she can. Then she pulls out a pen and tears out a small piece of paper from across the room, looking back occasionally to make sure Eric has not woken up and realized what she is up to. She inhales deeply before moving to the guest room, where her bags are kept. She packs them all without a word, making sure they are all in their proper places. After that, she scrawls something on the letter and leaves it in the dining room, where she knows Eric will see it. After all of this, sh
After several months, no amount of comfort from her loved ones or friends can erase the memories of Eric from Jenna's thoughts. She has never felt anyone else's touch in the number of ways that the man has. He is a soul that she will undoubtedly relegate to the back of her thoughts. She can not figure out why she is feeling this way, even though she has not been with him that closely for up to a month before he can offer her her first payment for their sex-related connection. She realizes it sounds ridiculous. Even though she has made every effort to put him out of her thoughts, he seems to be constantly returning to her mind in small ways. Although her mother and friends have given up on helping her move past Eric, she has decided to move on. She is aware that she needs to use caution and logic to convince herself that their relationship will never work. All she needs to do is move on from him and find a way to live her life. She will not, in all likelihood, be in contact with him i
The woman at reception is enraged. She can not help but feel angry as she watches Jenna's small frame move quickly in Eric's direction while he speaks with his bodyguards, seemingly organizing something significant for the evening. If Jenna eventually stops Eric from doing his job, she realizes she is in serious trouble. She might lose her job, which would be extremely damaging to her reputation. She leaves her place and rushes quickly in Jenna's direction after becoming enraged. "Young lady, come back here." She yells in rage until, a few meters from where Eric is going to leave the building via the rotating door, she finally manages to grab Jenna's arm. Jenna tries to pull away from her as she fights in the woman's arms. "Let go of me!" However, the woman refuses to listen to Jenna. "Are you listening to yourself, little girl? This cannot happen, as I have already stated. This is a major error that you are committing. I want you to immediately exit this building and head back
Mrs. Lawrence advised her daughter Jenna to take a lengthy vacation from school to unwind and wait for the whispers about her to stop before going back to her regular activities. Before things return to normal, Jenna must stay at home and read at home with a qualified homeschooling tutor during this process. However, Jenna spends her unplanned vacation thinking about Eric and making plans on how to reconnect with him. She is aware that she must move on from him. This type of relationship she had with him could never, ever happen again, and he would have likely forgotten about her and moved on to that Fiona of a woman—the one who had exposed her. Why would he want to interact with her at this time? It is likely that he despises her and that if he saw her again, he would want to break her skull. For heaven's sake, though, she feels as though she will shatter into pieces if she does not at least meet him and give him an apology for what she did. The next step is to simply have a little
The following day, following the completion of all procedures and signatures on all paperwork, Mr. Johnson releases Jenna from prison. After Jenna is led by the police officers out of the prison cell, her mother and Alex are waiting for her. When her mother sees her, Mrs. Lawrence rushes over to give her a strong hug as the two of them sob uncontrollably in one other's arms. "No, Mom, do not worry about yourself. Just keep in mind the illnesses we recently underwent surgery for. You must refrain from overstressing yourself." The fact that her daughter remembered the experience and is still calm and caring for her reassures her that she is a treasure she does not want to lose, even if the world ends. Nevertheless, she can gather herself and move away from Jenna. "I am so relieved you are alright. You really should wash up, oh dear. You appear to have a messy face." Jenna is forced to laugh when she is standing by her light-hearted remarks. When Jenna turns to look behind her, s
Mrs. Lawrence raises an eyebrow in amazement, considering what he would want to talk with her at this critical juncture that has compelled him to stay up so late. He looks at her quietly for a short while before sighing and scratching his nose. "Well, Alex and I had a really serious debate, and I believe I spent a lot of time reflecting on it. To be honest, I never would have thought to reason about it if it had been up to me and my previous decisions. You will not even see me here. All I wanted to do was stay in my flat, thinking about and grieving for my son, and feeling relieved that the person who caused his death is today receiving her due desserts." As he speaks, Mrs. Lawrence gently nods her head. She responds, "It is understandable, sir," and he closes his eyes and inhales deeply. "Well, I have come to the firm conclusion that I do not wish to be evil." As he speaks, Mrs. Lawrence bats her eyelids. "As I previously mentioned, Alex and I spoke about a significant matter
Mr. Johnson attempts to leave the building, but Alex does everything he can to block his path out of desperation because he knows that if this man is heartless enough to leave, there is no way in hell he will be able to do anything within his limited power to help Jenna's mother, and things may go wrong. She is already experiencing the effects of her previous ailments, and if they worsen, there is nothing he can do, and he is unable to assist her with everything going on in her life. He comes to a stop directly in front of Mr. Johnson and bursts into sobs. "Please, sir, I appreciate how hard this must be for you, but please consider the condition of the woman you are staring at right now. Please, if this was your mother in this position, you should not be so callous as to do this to her. Please consider this. Consider this: she is innocent and had nothing to do with your son's death. She has already been caught up in this circumstance. You are the only one capable of assisting her r
Right now, Alex is thinking of two plans. He has two goals in mind for Jenna: first, to cater to Mrs. Lawrence's illness; and second, to find a solution for her, as he believes her situation will not be simple. However, he is also aware that this would be an extremely challenging undertaking because the person he is going to beg for help from is the last person on Earth who would ever want to try to assist him. He understands he just needs to act and work things out soon because there is no one else he can turn to who would be willing to assist him with this. Even though his plan is extremely dangerous, he chooses to follow through with it because there is a tiny flicker of optimism that everything will turn out exactly as it should. The man's chauffeur arrives shortly after, and Alex enters immediately after greeting him with a hearty handshake. It was not a long journey to the mansion, and after a short while, Alex found himself in front of the Johnsons' home. A vast estate with a
While Jenna is momentarily sitting, all she can do is cry uncontrollably, and the whole scene breaks Alex. He hopes he can only figure out a way to go through this glass, give her a big hug, comfort her, and let her know that there are still people who believe in her, even though the majority views her as a murderer. However, he is at a complete loss for what to do. He is powerless to just put an end to this and ease the anguish. He manages to wipe away a few tears that start to trickle out of his eyes. He shakes his head sharply. In reality, he was going to inform her that her mother had already been ill over the whole situation, but he was currently unable to accomplish it. Things are only going to become worse because of her incarceration, the news that she is the reason her mother is ill and her overwhelming sense of helplessness. What more can he do? He needs to find a solution to save this family from this predicament. He glances up at her before losing control and bursting in
News of the entire episode quickly spread like wildfire, not only within the school but across the nation, completely upending Jenna's reputation. Any story pertaining to Eric Johnson's family is bound to go viral because everyone is familiar with them. The media has covered the entire story, including Jenna's pictures, and so many people's homes have TV screens showing it all. Everyone who has heard about Jenna is instantly reevaluating and changing their ideas about who they believe Jenna to be. Nobody can fully comprehend the circumstances; all they can say is that she is a killer because they saw her mentioned in the press as one. Even after all these years, it still shocks everyone that a young child would choose to carry out such a horrific deed and keep it a secret. Even at school, Jenna's reputation has been thoroughly destroyed and damaged. She is now the sole topic of conversation among the pupils. Those who had before considered her to be a wonderful person started to re
