Jessica, with a calm tone, replied, "It's Jessica, the woman you saved earlier today and proposed a..." She halted herself, realizing the importance of maintaining secrecy around the contract marriage. Only the two of them and his personal assistant should be privy to this information.

Justin's fame made confidentiality crucial. If the doctor or even this stranger discovered it, the news could spread rapidly. She couldn't afford to take any chances.

Jessica walked to the door, opened it, and moved to an isolated location to ensure her privacy.

"I am ready to do what you asked," Jessica declared.

Justin furrowed his brows, "What I asked? What was that?"

Jessica rolled her eyes, impatient with the back-and-forth. She spelled it out clearly. "I'm ready to enter into a contract marriage with you."

"Okay, come to the address on the card and sign the papers. Let's make it official."

"Okay, I will..." The call abruptly ended before she could finish her sentence. She redialed the number.

    Jessica opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. She shut them and just stared at him. The enigmatic glint in his eyes as he gazed into hers made her very uneasy.He finally drew in a long breath, "I thought as much." Glancing at his gold-plated wristwatch that looked like it had cost a fortune, he said without looking at Jessica, "I really should be on my way right now."He looked up from staring at his wristwatch, their eyes met. He immediately wore a serious expression, "I hope your mum's surgery goes well, and I also wish her a quick recovery after that.""Thank you," was all Jessica could mutter as she cleared her throat of the lump that had formed there."Goodbye, Jessica," Lawrence said and held her gaze for a brief moment before turning around. With long strides, he left the premises. Jessica stared at his retreating figure. When he was finally out of sight, she heaved a sigh of relief."What a day it has been," she thought to herself as she sank into the seat behind h

    Kelvin led Jessica to Justin's study upstairs. The room's interior was painted in grey, matching Justin's personality. Kelvin opened the door, ushered her in, and closed it behind her. Jessica was now alone with Justin.She felt very nervous. She couldn't understand why she was feeling this way. There was just something about Justin that made her feel uneasy. His facial features were attractive. He hadn't even looked up from the papers he was working on; he just acted as if he were the only one in the room, ignoring her presence. This made Jessica feel even more uncomfortable."Mhm mhm," she cleared her throat, trying to draw his attention. He looked up, his indifferent dark eyes sweeping briefly through her entire body before he diverted his gaze back to the papers in front of him."I see you have come," his voice was as cold as ice. Jessica didn't know how to respond, so she kept quiet.He looked up at her again. "Please, have a seat, Ms. Jessica," he leaned back in his chair and st

    He walked stealthily towards them in long strides, holding his suit jacket in his hand. Jessica couldn't take her eyes off him; he had a very intriguing aura about him. Why did he ask Kelvin to hold on? Did he want to join them? Jessica thought.As soon as he got to them, he stretched out his hand and demanded the car keys from Kelvin."I'll drive; I have somewhere I need to be right now." Kelvin looked at his boss in shock. He wanted to argue, but the menacing look Justin shot him left him no chance to do so. He immediately handed the keys to him. His mind was filled with so many thoughts at once.What if Justin had a panic attack on the way? What would happen then? He couldn't risk his boss getting into an accident. It was his life's mission to protect Justin, and he wouldn't fail at his job.Kelvin looked over at Jessica, "Can you drive, Ms. Jessica?" She was surprised. "Yes, why?""Nothing really, I just wanted to know."Kelvin knew that asking her that wasn't enough. There was no

    Jessica immediately recognized the voice of the person on the other side of the call. It was Kelvin, Justin's assistant."Kelvin!" she called out as she glanced at Justin, who was still on the floor."You need to call 911 now!" Jessica's voice was filled with panic."Calm down, Ms. Jessica. Just tell me where you are," Kelvin tried to get her to reveal her location.As soon as Justin drove out of the house with Jessica by his side, Kelvin rushed into the house and took the keys to the black Mercedes Benz. He knew he had to follow Justin from behind just in case something happened on the way.He feared that Justin might have one of his panic attacks. He drove two cars behind them. He had been right behind them until two other cars managed to overtake him, keeping him two cars behind.He suddenly noticed that the car wasn't moving as it should. That was his cue that something was wrong. Before he could catch up with them, the car had suddenly disappeared into the bush. He followed after

    Jessica glanced at him, recalling her own experience. When she was in the hospital and had called him about the contract, he initially didn't answer since he didn't recognize the caller. However, her persistent calls eventually made him cave in, much like the situation now.With a sigh, she leaned back in her seat and rested her head.The caller was Justin's business associate, and he had used a new number to contact Justin. He was the person Justin was going to meet discreetly before his panic attack episode began."Hey, it's Alfred. Sorry for calling from a different number; I left my phone at home. Thankfully, I had your business card with me and found your number there. Are you still coming? I've been waiting for over an hour."Alfred was the man who had been keeping Justin informed about his father's company ever since Justin's return. He was one of the very few who knew Justin was alive and well. Justin was supposed to meet him at a private lounge to discuss important matters rel

    Jessica left the ICU and made her way directly to the doctor's office, a place she was already familiar with. Earlier, she had been in his office to process the down payment for her mother's surgery. Her intention was to inquire about her mother's current location, as she was puzzled by her absence from the ICU. When she arrived at the doctor's office, she noticed a nurse emerging from the room, closing the door behind her.Approaching the doctor's office with the intention of knocking, Jessica was intercepted by the nurse who instinctively stepped in her path. Wearing a surprised expression, the nurse addressed her, "I'm sorry, ma'am, but you can't enter the doctor's office without an appointment."Jessica met the nurse's gaze, pondering her next course of action.She acknowledged her mistake with a brief, "My bad." Her gaze shifted from the door to the nurse, and she explained her situation, "I don't have an appointment with the doctor, but I have a question about a patient who was

    Jessica was taken aback by the unexpected news that he was coming to pick her up. She couldn't help but wonder about his reasons for doing so. Her immediate concern was the need to retrieve her bag from the hospital where she had received treatment.In an attempt to delay their meeting, she asked, "Could we perhaps reschedule for later in the day? I have a few errands to take care of right now." Jessica hoped for a positive response from Kelvin. However, instead of granting her request, he replied, "I apologize, Ms. Jessica, but I am merely following Mr. Justin's instructions." Jessica sighed in frustration, her hand coming to rest on her forehead as she contemplated this unexpected turn of events.She felt compelled to accept the situation, knowing that she had willingly embraced this new life just the day before. It was a fundamental part of the contract she had entered into – to make herself available whenever Justin required her presence. As a married woman, she recognized her du

    Jessica blinked in astonishment. Had Justin really just pointed to a photo booth and asked her to go with him? She had to double-check, "What did you say?"Justin, rather than repeating himself, cast a glance in her direction, gently took her hand, and guided her toward the photo booth. This simple gesture sent a wave of unexpected sensations surging through Jessica, causing her heart to skip a beat. She was perplexed by her own feelings, thinking, "What's happening to me? I shouldn't be experiencing these emotions, especially for someone who hardly acknowledges my presence."The photographer greeted them with a warm smile as they approached. Justin and Jessica positioned themselves side by side, standing in front of the white curtain for their wedding photo. However, their demeanor suggested they were more like two individuals compelled to pose together rather than a couple. The photographer, observing this, stepped away from her camera stand and approached them.With a cheerful grin

    Deep in thought, Justin drove to Jessica's mother's apartment. 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.

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.

    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.
