“Are you sure about this?” Asked Jace.
“Yes, sir," the man replied, hardening young Higginson’s face.
“We have been working for months now, and she’s not saying anything.”
“You can ask her to confirm, Mr. Higginson.”
“The boy’s name is Ace?” he asked, and the investigator nodded. Jace smiled, thinking Emerald named their son after him. “She will deny it, and I’m sure she didn’t want me to meet our son.”
“Yes, and here’s the DNA result and the photos of the boy.”
“How did you manage to get this?”
“Ms. Emera
“What’s this about?” Emerald asked angrily. She went to Jace’s office and confronted him as she showed him the summons from the court.“Exactly what it is.” Young Higginson answered casually.“What the hell are you thinking that you file a case like this?”“Why? Are you planning on letting me know about our son?” Jace asked, looking at her intently. He already knew how she would react, and he was ready.“Of course!” Emerald exclaimed.“When? We’ve been working here for months, but you don’t even give me a hint!”“After our project! I already told my son about you.”
A day after the hearing, Jace talks to Emerald, telling her that he wants to meet their son. Although the judge has already told them that he can visit the boy any time he wants, he still asks his wife's permission, knowing how young Morgan feels about the decision.Young Morgan gives Jace their address, but he tells her that he will follow her on her way home, which leaves Emerald with no choice but to agree. In the mansion,“He’s my Daddy?” Ace asked, not leaving his gaze on Jace, who looked at him with teary eyes. He couldn’t believe that the boy looked exactly like him even though his parents already told him about it and had already seen him in the pictures. His heart was filled with joy, and he couldn’t help but hug his son.Emerald watched them, and a sudden, unexplainable feelin
“He’s big for his age,” Jace said as he looked at his son, who is now sleeping soundly. After he bathed him, Ace requested him to stay in his room with Emerald until he fell asleep. He looked at his wife because she didn’t say anything and found her looking at their son as well. “Emerald,” He called her, making her avert her attention to him. “Let’s talk.”“What for?” Emerald asked emotionless.“Let’s talk outside,” Jace said before looking at Ace. He didn’t want their son to hear them just in case Emerald would start to say words that were not good for the boy to hear. He wants to prevent Ace from hearing them fighting or arguing. They left the room and returned to the living room to meet Daryl, who had just come out of the kitchen.
After that night, Emerald couldn’t sleep enough and was always thinking about Ace. For three days, she goes to work worried about another summons from the court that Jace would file against her to claim custody of their son.“Ma’am Emerald, everyone is ready for the meeting,” one of her team members said after she knocked on her door and got into her office. Young Morgan looked up and nodded before getting up from her chair and leaving her office.The team was busy discussing the development of their project, and Emerald was very happy since everything went earlier than planned. She was satisfied with her team, and although she hated Jace, she wanted to thank him for giving her reliable people who were willing to make extra effort. They were wrapping up the meeting when Esther came,“Ho
“How many of these do you need?” Jace asked Ace. They are in the bookstore, buying the boy’s school things. The father and son were happy choosing from notebooks designed with cartoon characters.“I only need a few, Dad,” Ace replied and started to choose the designs he wanted while Emerald watched them. She saw how happy her son was, although she was annoyed with Jace because he continuously teased her on their way to the bookstore. Jace insisted on driving for them, and as usual, their son was excited about it so Emerald agreed.“Just a few? I can buy you everything here.” Jace replied, although Emerald knew that he was only joking, she couldn’t help but said,“Don’t teach Ace to become arrogant. He can’t have everything.”
WARNING!! MATURE CONTENT!!Jace pinned Emerald on the wall as they continued kissing. He liked the feeling, and so did young Morgan, whose hands were around his neck after he lifted her, making her wrap her legs around his waist.They stopped kissing when they decided to catch some air. Jace’s eyes were on Emerald, and he could see how much his wife wanted him. Although hesitant for young Morgan to hate him if he continued, he lowered his face again and saw how she anticipated the kiss he would give her.Emerald closed her eyes, waited for Jace’s lips to meet hers, and then responded to him wantonly. That’s the last string that holds young Higginson’s control, making him kiss her deeper. The sound of their lips sucking each other will be heard in the corridor, and Emerald was thankful that no
‘He loves me? Is it true?’ Emerald asked herself. She was working in her office in ACEGame, but she couldn’t concentrate because of what had happened to her and Jace. She’s not denying that she likes it and admits that she still loves her husband. The way young Higginson confessed his love to her changed something in her. ‘No! I shouldn’t forgive him just like that. He had to suffer the way I did. Emerald, don't let your feelings for him get the better of you. You should make it difficult for him to appreciate you more.’ Young Morgan thought before she shook her head and tried to focus on work.As soon as she started working, all her attention was on her computer. Although she was in ACEGame, she looked at the ACE Family Grocers sales report, formerly Morgan’s Grocer. Elise successfully changed the store name, but Emerson was unhappy.Seeing how their sales changed, Emerald was very happy. She knew they could increase their sales, especially when she got good suppliers. She started pl
Old Mr. and Mrs. Higginson were so happy when they met Ace. The boy was surprised to see the couple as well. He was very happy when he found out about his cousin, who was only three years old—the same little girl who was with the old couple in the amusement park.Jace was happy to see how the important people in his life were getting along well. There’s only one problem, Emerald. He and Ace were in his room and were about to sleep when the boy asked, “Daddy, do you love Mommy?” He felt relieved when Emerald agreed to let their son sleep in his parents' mansion.Young Higginson was stunned, not because he didn’t know how he would answer his son but more because he was worried that their son was thinking about him and Emerald. “Why do you ask?”“I love my grannies, uncle
MATURE CONTENTThe newlyweds returned to Jace’s mansion. He insisted they stay there because it was their home and where Emerald belonged. They were in their bedroom, and the next day, they would fly to Switzerland for their honeymoon.“I’m so happy you’re mine now, dear wife.”“I have always been yours, Jace.” Young Higginson smiled and cupped his wife’s face with both hands. Before the wedding, he had said everything he wanted to, including the reason for the suffering he caused her and how regretful he was.“I never thought you’d be mine again. Yes, I want you, and I love you. I thought you could never forgive me, as you said before you left. That thought wouldn’t leave my mind, and it made me fear that even if you came back or I saw you again, your love for me would be gone. That you wouldn’t want to feel that way about me again,” Jace said emotionally to his wife.“I tried, but I failed. I don’t know what it is about you, but that’s how I feel. I feel incomplete without you, like
It's "D Day," and Emerald stood before the large mirror, staring intently at her reflection. She couldn’t believe that today was the day of her wedding to the man she loved the most. At first, it was only a dream, but now, in just a few moments, she would be walking down the aisle to meet the only man who had ever captured her heart.They were already married, but for Emerald, this day was different. She thought that if they had a wedding ceremony before, it might not have been as special as today, with her real parents and loved ones present and Jace’s parents and families.“Mom,” Emerald said as she saw her mother, Ember, get in and stand behind her, smiling.“The stylist is here to get you ready. Are you prepared?” her mother asked with a smile, which Emerald returned with a sweet smile and several nods. “You don’t seem excited at all, do you?” Ember teased.“I can’t help but be excited, Mommy.” Emerald's eyes were shining brightly like stars in the sky at night.“That’s exactly how
Everything has become easier for Emerald. Her mother, Ember, now lives with her and looks after Ace when she and Jace are at the office.Mr. Landers and Mr. Ferguson are also doing well. The two will return to Italy to manage their business there. They invited Ember to join them, but she declined because she wanted to stay close to her daughter and grandchild.Mr. Ferguson had no choice but to let his daughter go, but Mr. Landers didn't want to accept it. He wanted to be with the woman he loved and had been searching for so long. So, after appointing someone to manage his company, he will return to L.A. to be with Ember for good and to propose marriage.Meanwhile, the police continue to search for Emerson, who has completely escaped after passing through a road without CCTV coverage. Creep also continues searching for routes where Emerson's vehicle could have passed.Emerose and Merly are still furious at the precinct about what happened to them. They never expected to end up in jail,
MATURE CONTENTThe two of them kissed passionately, neither wanting to stop. They were both burning with desire, and their hands began to explore each other's bodies. Jace managed to slip one hand under Emerald's blouse, causing her to arch her back."Hmm..." Young Morgan moaned as she felt her husband's fingers playing with her nipple after he unhooked her bra. Jace lifted her and placed her on a sturdy kitchen table.Emerald spread her legs to position Jace between them as he unbuttoned her blouse. She was excited and couldn't wait to feel the pleasure that her husband was planning to give her."I was planning on pampering you the whole day, dear wife. And that includes making love with you." Jace said after they momentarily stopped kissing as they gasped for breath. He was looking at Emerald with so much love, affection, and lust rolled into one."Don't just make love with me, Jace. Fuck me too. Fuck me like you never did before," Emerald said, almost delirious, as her husband's mo
"Where are we going?" Emerald asked her husband in surprise. She thought that after leaving the precinct, they would head straight to their offices. But she noticed that her husband was taking a different route."After all the stress you've been through, I think you deserve a break. Don't think about work for now," Jace replied, glancing at her after ensuring the road was safe. Emerald rolled her eyes at him, which made both of them laugh. "Kidding aside, dear wife. With everything that happened, you've been through so much worry and stress, so I want to make you happy and take care of you today.""It's up to you, I'm just worried about your company," Emerald replied with concern."Just like you have Creep, Daryl, and Elise in your companies, I also have Kyle. I can rely on my friend, so you have nothing to worry about," young Higginson explained. "Besides, it's not like I do this every day."Emerald didn't respond and just let her husband do what he wanted. She knew there was nothing
Emerson was now being hunted by the law. What happened was that he was about to visit Ember in the secret room when Jace saw him. The old Morgan wondered why the billionaire was there, but he chose to run when young Higginson tried to approach him.Meanwhile, Merly was causing a scene at the precinct after she was picked up by the police from their apartment. Mrs. Morgan couldn’t believe that her husband could do what the police were accusing them of. She vehemently denied the allegations about them being involved in Ember’s kidnapping.After the doctor discharged Ember from the hospital, everyone went to Emerald’s house. They were extremely happy, especially Ace, who couldn’t believe how large their family had grown. He used to live with his Mom and a few friends and didn't expect to have many grown-ups to be added to the people who loved him.“I’m so happy that you still succeeded despite everything that family put you through,” said Ember tearfully as she gently stroked Emerald’s c
Dr. Sanders and Ember were already eating while Cedrick just watched them. The doctor offered him food, but he let them eat instead. He wasn't hungry yet and was used to situations like this, sometimes going three days without eating due to investigations. He figured the two needed it more, especially if things got chaotic when Ronnie received his message."Isn't it a bit late for breakfast?" Cedrick asked the doctor. He thought Emerson had been depriving him of proper nourishment. He admired the doctor for not giving up on Ember after all those years he cared for her."This is the usual time they bring my food," Dr. Sanders replied. Cedrick said nothing further and went to the door, leaving it slightly ajar, hoping to hear something from either above or below.He knew the police might arrive at any moment, so he began to prepare himself. He needed to protect the two of them as best he could. Not because it was his job but because he wanted Mr. Landers and Ember to reunite. He wanted t
Just as the vehicle finally disappeared from their sight, Jace received a call from Ronnie. "Sir, the warrant has been approved. We're heading back there now.""Okay, thank you very much," replied Young Higginson. Ronnie said something else, which Jace just acknowledged. After ending the call, he turned to Liam and relayed everything the detective had said."I hope their leader is there too," Liam said, sighing."I hope so," Jace agreed, then looked back at the establishment and waited quietly.Liam also stayed silent, thinking that once all this chaos was over, he might be able to return to Italy. He knew and accepted that there was no chance of rekindling things with Emerald since Jace would never let them get separated. He felt thankful that the woman he loved would finally be happy, even if it wasn't with him.Meanwhile, Emerson had just entered Madam Z's office and received the news that police had come to their club the previous night wanting to search it. "What? Why are you just
"Do you think it will send?" Cedrick asked anxiously. Dr. Sanders had returned and said that he left the cell phone on top of a high cabinet, which the doctor believed wouldn't be noticed by anyone since the detective assured him it was on silent mode."I think so because the signal bar went up when I checked. I just panicked when I heard footsteps approaching. I can't afford to be caught, especially if the message wasn't sent successfully," the doctor said, thinking it was better than getting caught.Cedrick and Ember nodded, understanding Dr. Sanders' predicament. He wasn't used to such situations, so they could only rely on prayer for the success of their actions. As much as they wanted to do more, they couldn't risk each other's safety.They were nervous as they waited, knowing it was still early. Cedrick pondered the possibilities his colleagues outside might have done and shared them with the two. "If Ronnie received my text last night, he likely informed Mr. Higginson and the ot
