“That's all I found out about Ms. Morgan's nanny,” Ronnie said.

“Ember Ferguson,” Jace said in a low voice, thinking. “She's wealthy, being the only heiress of the Ferguson Telecom; why wouldn't she want to marry Mr. Landers, who is also a billionaire?”

“The only reason I could think of is that she's in love with someone else.”

“Ronnie, I haven't seen Mr. Landers; what does he look like?” Jace asked.

“I don't know either. He always avoided the press and never showed up for any invitations to any business gatherings. He kept himself low profile, and even his relatives were unaware of his appearance.”

“Is it possible for you to get a photo of him?”

“I will try, Mr. Higginson. But I can't promise you a good result.”

“Tell me anything you need, and I will provide you. I want to know whether he was behind the disappearance of Emerald's nanny.”

“Copy that, Mr. Higginson.” Ronnie got up from his seat and left.

Jace was left in his living room. It was Sunday afternoon, and he stayed in his

    “Liam, I’m glad you’re back,” Emerald said after seeing her friend entering her house. She was on her way to the kitchen but was stopped by his presence.“Yeah, finally.”“How did it go? Did you find anything?” I asked hopefully.“I don’t know, M, we failed.”“You didn’t get anything?”“We did, but just another lead.”“Then it’s good. I mean, it’s better than nothing, right?”“I think so, too, but I don’t know

    Emerald’s heart raced as she frantically scanned the playground, her eyes wide with panic. The cheerful laughter of other children felt like a cruel mockery of her fear. Ace had disappeared from her sight. Just moments ago, he was playing on the slide with his nanny, watching over him.“Liam, we need to find him. We need to find Ace!” Her voice trembled, tears welling as she grabbed her friend’s arm. Liam nodded and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.“We will, M. We’ll find him,” Liam replied, calm but firm. Once again, he scanned the area, his mind racing through possible scenarios.Young Morgan's mind was a whirl of dark possibilities. She took deep breaths, trying to calm herself. Her baby boy, her sweet little Ace—where could he be? She felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and helplessness, her chest tight with fear. Each second that ticked by felt like an eternity.They've searched everywhere, starting at the slide where Ace’s shoes were found. Emerald's hands were tremblin

    Creep sat hunched over his monitor inside the sleek, high-tech office of ACEGame, fingers flying over the keyboard. The office was a controlled chaos of flickering screens and urgent activity. Jace was beside him, pacing back and forth like a caged lion. His face was a mask of fury and concern, his clenched fists and tense posture revealing the storm of emotions roiling inside him. He went to see and talk to Creep about Emerald’s nanny, Lucy. Still, while talking, young Morgan called about their son’s disappearance.“What do you mean you lost them? How could Keng just disappear with Ace?” Jace demanded, his voice sharp and accusing. Creep glanced up briefly, his eyes filling with both sympathy and frustration.“Jace, I’m doing everything I can. I’ve got access to every available camera feed a

    Emerald sat on the edge of the bed, her heart aching, as she watched Ace sleep. His small chest's soft rise and fall brought a fleeting sense of peace, but her mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. She knew she had to talk to him to understand what he wanted. It felt almost unbearable, but she had to face the possibility that he might want to live with his father.With a deep breath, she gently stroked his hair. “Ace, baby, it's morning. Mommy needs to talk to you.”Ace stirred, his eyes flicking open. He looked up at her with sleepy confusion, then sat up, rubbing his eyes. “Mommy? What is it?”Emerald smiled, trying to keep her voice calm. “I need to ask you something very important. Do you think you can talk to me for a bit?”

    “It’s not that I am forcing her, Kyle!” Jace exclaimed.“But that’s how it looks to me, and, I’m sure, to her as well,” his friend replied.“I love her and our son. And she admitted that she loves me too. Why can’t she just let me in so I can show her who I really am? Living separately is not helping us; it only pushes her away from me. And because of Liam, she had another option,” Jace said as he brushed his hair with his fingers. He was in a bar with his friend, who listened to him tirelessly.“So, Emerald is the reason why you invited me out?” Kyle asked, raising a brow.“And what else do you think?”“How about the fact that I helped our legal council in trapping that company extorting ACEGame?” Jace's eyes widened. Lately, he has been thinking about his wife and has forgotten everything. He sighed when he thought he had good news to share with Emerald when he remembered what she told him about having problems.“Thanks, man. You’re really a good and very reliable friend.” Kyle shook

    Liam left Emerald’s mansion after their discussion. Although he was happy for young Morgan, he also felt hurt when he saw her kiss Jace. He knew he would never have a chance to get the woman he loved, but he hoped that young Higginson would be able to take care of her. He stepped into the bustling bar, the heart of nightlife, where the energy is intense and the atmosphere is lively. It was an old brick building that housed the bar; its exterior was modest and unassuming, but inside, it was a different world.Most people are dressed to impress. Women in stylish dresses or chic tops and skirts, accessorized with statement jewelry and high heels, move gracefully through the crowd. Men sport a range of attire, from casual button-downs to trendy t-shirts paired with jeans or chinos, some donning fashionable sneakers and others opting for smart leather shoes.

    “Emerald,” Mr. Landers said as he looked at young Morgan with teary eyes. “Looking at you is like looking at my mother’s photo in her younger days,” he added. They were in a hotel where Mr. Landers stayed as soon as he arrived in L.A. He wanted to go to her house, but Cedrick said to wait since she had personal matters to settle.“Mr. Landers, I–”“Dad, call me dad.” Mr. Landers corrected her, making her eyes water. “And he’s my grandson?” he added, looking at Ace, smiling back at him.“Yes, D-dad,” young Morgan replied.“I have another grandpa?” the boy asked,“Yes, young man, and it’s me,” Mr. Landers answered. His happiness was beyond his imagination, seeing his daughter and grandson. He never thought that in his search for the love of his life, he would be able to find another part of himself. “Can you come to me? I want to hug you.”Ace hesitantly got up from his seat while Emerald encouraged him, making him walk closer to Mr. Landers until he was in front of him. “Oh dear boy...

    “What are you going to do about us, Emerson?” Merly asked her husband angrily. They were having breakfast in the dining area of their rented apartment. Because Mr. Morgan is not doing anything to get their company back, Mrs. Morgan is so angry that she thinks he intentionally did nothing and lets her and Emerose do all the work for their living expenses.“What’s wrong? Didn’t I ask you to watch your expenses because we’re facing a financial crisis? Why are you blaming everything on me?” Emerson asked angrily, glaring at his wife.“But Dad, you know how friends are..” Emerose chimed in, making her earn a glare from her father.“If you are only half of the kind of woman Emerald is, you could have gotten a wealthy husb

    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

    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
