Justin noticed his grandmother hastily approaching and met her halfway. They embraced each other in a long warm hug.

"Oh, my grandson, I have missed you so much," she placed her two hands on his cheeks and proceeded to hug him again. Jessica stood beside Justin, smiling from ear to ear. She loved witnessing the affectionate bond between the grandmother and grandson.

In fact, it was during Old Mrs. Hemsworth's birthday party that Jessica had witnessed a new side of Justin. She hadn't known he could be so affectionate with a woman. Jessica believed it was his grandmother who had unlocked this new side that she had been enjoying lately. She smiled to herself.

"Oh, Jess, my daughter," Old Mrs. Hemsworth came to Jess, enveloping her in a bear hug. Jess hugged her tightly, and when she released her, she planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Thanks for inviting me to your home, Grandma," Jessica said with a smile.

Old Mrs. Hemsworth held her by the hand, saying, "You are invited at all times. Anyt

    The room fell into absolute silence, as if everyone was trying to process what she had just said.Nora was the only one excited; she immediately exclaimed with enthusiasm in her voice, "Are you serious about that, Sonia?""Yes, Mom, I am already about a month gone," Sonia replied. Nicholas couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was in total shock. What had she just said? She was pregnant? No, it can't be possible.All eyes were now on Nicholas. Everyone wanted to see his reaction. He glared at Sonia."Why am I just finding out about this now?" Sonia was anxious. She had not expected such a fierce reaction from Nicholas."I... I am sorry. I just found out yesterday, and I wanted to tell you once we got home today, but..." She scanned the dining room with her eyes. "Since we were all having a nice time here, I decided it would be best to just say it all at once. I am so sorry," she pleaded.Nora stepped in, "Come on, Nicholas, this is something to be happy about. Don't get her so worke

    She froze in an instant and immediately jerked herself away from Nicholas. After removing herself from the compromising position she had been in, Jessica stared at Justin, who was now charging towards them in fury. He knocked Nicholas out in one blow to the face.Nicholas felt something warm on his face – it was blood! He placed his hand on his face to trace the source of blood, and that's when he found it – the blood was coming out of his nose. Justin had hit him so hard his nose almost broke. Nicholas sat there, laughing at himself, at the mess he had just become.Justin, thinking he was mocking him, went for another blow. Jessica saw what he was about to do and immediately interfered, standing between him and Nicholas. "Stop it this instant, Justin! Just stop! Can't you see he is bleeding? What more harm do you want to inflict on your own brother?" she cried out.Justin glared at her with his cold, dark eyes – they were deadly, so deadly that Jessica instinctively stepped back. He y

    Justin looked at his wristwatch; it was already a few minutes to midnight. He let out a sigh and stayed there, staring at her for a long time, wondering just what to do.Deep down, he wanted to walk past her and go straight to his room, retiring for the night after how she had hurt him, but his heart couldn't let him. Seeing her lying down there made him feel horrible.She should have just gone to her room after he told her he didn't want to talk, instead of lying down here and making him look like a bad guy.He bent down and lifted her with his strong hands. Jessica has always been a deep sleeper ever since she was little. Something could be going on around her while she was asleep, and she would totally be oblivious to it. Right now, Justin carried her like a log of wood in his arms straight to her room, the room he had asked her to keep her luggage in.Justin laid her on the bed and covered her with the duvet. He took one last glance at her face that looked so innocent, as if she ha

    She met Justin just at the foot of the staircase. To her amazement, He walked right past her without uttering a word.Jessica was stunned. "Good morning, Justin," she said as she hurried after him. Without looking back, Justin gave a very short and cold response, "Morning, Jessica.""A...are you off somewhere? I made breakfast," she stuttered, her voice quavering. Justin halted in his tracks but didn't look back. He tilted his head a bit and said, "I am not hungry." Though his voice was calm, it was so cold; Jessica felt like she had just been iced.She hugged herself tightly, trying to ward off the cold that suddenly enveloped her as she watched Justin and Kelvin's retreating figures. As soon as they got outside and shut the door behind them, Jessica fell to the floor; tears she had been holding back came streaming down her cheeks.She was sorry, deeply sorry for having wavered and allowed Nicholas to kiss her. That wasn't what she wanted; she had been shocked it happened, but it hap

    Jessica stood in front of him, staring down at him. Justin immediately averted his gaze, but not before noticing her puffy eyes. It seemed like she had been crying for a while. He wondered what had caused her tears.Was she saddened by the contract she signed with him, preventing her from returning to Nicholas, who had recently declared his interest in her, to which she had obliged? Or was she about to try and persuade him to break up with her so she could finally go back to Nicholas, Justin pondered.Justin, acting as if she were invisible, walked right past her. Jessica felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if she had just been stabbed by a dagger. She ran after him, blocking his way, "What did I ever do to you, Justin?" Jessica wailed. At this point, she was heartbroken. Why exactly was he treating her this way?When Jessica had seen Justin come back home with a woman, she had been shocked. Knowing him, he was the kind of person who didn't like it when other people came to his home. Ev

    Jessica persistently called her mother, and after the fourth ring, she finally answered."Hello, my child, how are you?" Jessica was a bit shocked to speak. Had her mother intentionally ignored her calls? She wondered."Hello, Jess, are you there?" Rebecca said, breaking the silence."Yes, Mother, I am here," Jessica replied in a daze. "I actually thought something was wrong when you didn't answer my calls after it rang four times.""Oh, that... I was actually looking at my phone ring and dancing to the melodious tune until the fourth ring," Rebecca chuckled."That isn't fair, Mum. Why did you do that?" Jessica quizzed. Rebecca, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and walked to her balcony. Leaning comfortably on the rail, she said, "Well, my child, next time when I call you, you will pick up on time."Jessica smiled, noticing that her mother was now strong and in good spirits to the extent that she was making jokes."Why were you scared, though? It's not like I was sick when you l

    Jessica kept glancing at the door, hoping it would open at some point, and Justin would walk through it. There was absolute silence around her, except for the constant ticking of the clock. Jessica waited and waited and waited, but there was no Justin."He is probably just running a little late; he will be back eventually," Jessica consoled herself. She heaved a sigh and placed her head on the table. She was exhausted from everything that had happened that day. Slowly, she drifted to sleep."No!! No!!" Jessica screamed as she jerked up from her sleep, looking around frantically and standing from her chair. The force with which she stood up caused the chair to fall backward. She had just had a nightmare.In it, Justin's car collided with an incoming trailer and got crushed in the process. Both Justin and Kelvin had died. Jessica wiped the sweat that trickled down her forehead as she picked up her phone from the table. Even though she had obtained Justin's direct phone number a week ago

    Jessica was surprised; she hadn't expected to hear those words escape from Justin's lips. All of a sudden, she felt like she had been hit with a thousand bricks. All the things she had said, how much of it had he heard?Jessica swallowed hard as Justin drew her to his side and repeated his words. "Please stay with me," he said as his eyes roamed over her, his stare carving a hot path down the front of her chest.She simply nodded her head and sat down beside him. Justin lifted himself up from the bed and leaned his back on the headboard, pulling Jessica even closer to him.Jessica gulped and shut her eyes momentarily; she dreaded the question she was about to ask but knew she had to ask it. She needed to know just how much of what she said he had heard."How long have you been awake?" Jessica said casually, putting on a fake smile even though she was so tense inside.Justin knew; he knew just why she had asked the question, and he knew what reply to give. "I am just waking up now.

Sonia had also been prosecuted, and her license was revoked due to her crimes.Nicholas's last request before being prosecuted for his own crimes was to have dinner with everyone in the family, a request they all had granted. Everyone tried to put on a smiling face, even though their hearts ached on the inside.The energy in the room was really low.

It had been two weeks since his discharge from the hospital.Two days after leaving the hospital, under persistent pressure from his grandmother and stepmother concerning Nicholas, Justin reached a decision. He chose to implore Jessica to perform the surgery on Nicholas, solely to prevent him from dyinf.This decision didn't signify forgiveness. In fact, he adamantly declined to visit Nicholas in the hospital. Fearful of what he might do to him as he remained vengeful and resentful, harboring deep anger for all he had endured at Nicholas' hands.The problem, however, was that Jessica had refused to treat Nicholas. In fact, they had engaged in an argument that led to her moving out of his apartment. All attempts to persuade her to reconsider proved fruitless.

    Having recovered from the shock of Jessica's stern attitude, Nicholas looked at her with pleading eyes. Determined to make it work, he ensured everything he said seemed to come directly from his heart. Although he had mentally rehearsed this moment repeatedly, he didn't anticipate the scene playing out so soon.When he asked his father to help him plead with Jessica the previous day, he hadn't expected his wish to be granted. However, knowing he would see Jessica one day, he prepared ahead of time. Now, she stood before him. This was his opportunity, and he promised himself to make the most of it.Rising from the bed, his gaze fixed on Jessica, Nicholas's hand was cuffed to the bed, limiting his movement. Despite the constraint, he had enough room to do what he wanted. Jessica's eyes narrowed with hatred as she witnessed his eyes clouding with tears.Scoffing, she remarked, "I am listening. Say what you want to say; I need to be on my way soon." She eagerly waited for him to beg her

    Mr. Hemsworth arrived at the hospital with his mother and wife an hour later and stormed in the direction of Nicholas' ward. He had informed the hospital earlier that day to update him once his son woke up. The hospital was heavily guarded, as two sons of the most powerful and influential man in London, whose lives were still in imminent danger, were in different wards.For all Mr. Hemsworth knew, the culprit who had shot his second son was still at large. Until apprehended, Nicholas and even Justin were not safe. Who knows, the person trying to kill Nicholas might be attempting to cover up a dark past. Justin had mentioned that Nicholas was working with a cult. Could it be they wanted to silence Nicholas for good to prevent him from confessing to his crimes and thereby mention their involvement in money laundering and the attempt on Justin's life?Whatever it was, he would hear it now that his son was awake.As soon as they entered Nicholas' ward, Mr. Hemsworth motioned for the gua

    The doctor suddenly remembered he had given the nurse a task earlier and asked her to inform him as soon as it was completed. That had to be what she had come to tell him about.He corked a brow up and asked curiously, "Are the test results out?" Laura nodded in response to his question. She wore a grave expression on her face, which was really unsettling to Mr. Hemsworth, who was clueless about what was going on."What test results? Can someone explain to me what exactly is going on here?" he snapped in frustration.The doctor immediately felt the need to explain before things escalated any further. "I am sorry, Mr. Hemsworth, for keeping you in the dark. The thing is, in this hospital, it is standard procedure to conduct a full check-up on our patients to ensure they are medically fit," he exchanged glances with the nurse and continued, "we ran some tests on Nicholas, and it appears the results are out," he concluded.Mr. Hemsworth was a little tense. The girl's reaction hinted t

    Mr. Hemsworth stormed into the hospital an hour later with his bodyguards, looking as ferocious and angry as ever. No one dared to stop him; just the sight of him alone was very intimidating. The security stationed at the entrance had to make way for him after seeing how he had been greeted by the policemen. They already knew who he was; if the police, sent to protect the hospital, had allowed him to gain entrance at this crucial time when security was heightened, then they felt they had no choice but to do the same.Nicholas had been brought to the hospital in his disguised state, so the security men had no clue who the person being protected in the ward was. The hospital kept his identity a secret, and only people who had the right to know due to a role they had to play were informed. Seeing Mr. Hemsworth storm in, the security men gave each other a knowing look; whoever was being protected must be related to him in some way.Once inside, Mr. Hemsworth stood still as his ferociou

    The man who had accidentally knocked Nicholas down immediately alighted from his car. Upon reaching where Nicholas lay in a pool of his blood, being washed away by the soft patter of rain falling, he gasped in shock but immediately recollected himself. "Is he dead?" he thought in fright as he fell to his knees beside Nicholas."Hello? Hello?" he said as he shoved Nicholas lightly.No response!"Oh my God! What have I done?" the man cried in fear. His heart was thumping heavily against his chest. With trembling hands, he brought out his phone and dialed 999, London's emergency contact."I knocked down a man; he needs help!" he cried as soon as the call connected, staring down nervously at Nicholas.The road was a lonely one. He contemplated carrying Nicholas into his car and taking him to a nearby hospital. He glanced at Nicholas' unconscious body again, and a thought crossed his mind, one that chilled him to the bone, causing his jaw to drop as his eyes widened."What if he is dead?

    As soon as Jessica turned, a slight frown etched her face. Standing behind her was Dr. Martins, the same man she had heard from Nicholas, accused her of having a hand in the attack on her husband.When Dr. Martins found out few days ago, just like everyone else, that Jessica was Dr. Alexandra, he was absolutely gobsmacked. He wondered how that could be and thought back to the day Jessica was acting a little nonchalant in his office, realizing it was because she already had a solution to her husband's predicament.He had been scared to approach her due to the way he had treated her in the past—all the snide and sarcastic remarks he made in her presence hadn't gone unnoticed. From the beginning, he had made it clear he really didn't like her, but Jessica always responded to his ill treatment with kindness. To him, she was just acting, being the badass actress she was, which even infuriated him more.Pondering on the next steps to take, he had summoned the courage to meet Dr. Alexandra,

    Sonia was petrified, visibly shaken. Just who is this man, she wondered? The seconds it took for the man to respond felt like a million years to her. Her heart kept thumping against her ribcage."Who am I?" the man asked mockingly as he snorted a laugh. Sonia's eyes widened.Hearing the man speak again intensified her fear. She knew she had heard that voice before, but to whom did it belong?She cried pleadingly, "Please don't hurt me. Whoever you are, please don't harm me.""Hahaha, you should have thought of that when you decided not to keep to your own end of the bargain. Now move, slowly," he snapped angrily, pointing the gun more aggressively towards her as he motioned for her to go in the direction he wanted.That was when it hit her!"Is it you? What are you...wait, how did you know where I live?" she asked, trying to mask her fear."How the tables have turned. It wasn't difficult to find you at all.
