It's Sunday afternoon, and Emerald is in her room trying to get some rest. She just finished doing the laundry while cleaning the house, and she doesn't feel well. Jace left the other day and has not come back, and she was praying that he would never come back until she got some rest. But her prayer wasn't answered because after a few more minutes, her room door burst open, and her angry husband emerged."Is that what you do while I'm away? Resting?" he asked angrily."I just finished the laundry and cleaned the house," Emerald replied in a weak voice as she got up from her bed, which didn't go unnoticed by Jace. He creased his forehead as he started walking closer to her."Don't tell me you're sick!" he shouted."No, I was resting briefly because I wanted to go to Nanny Lucy later.""And who the hell was that?" Jace asked, raising a brow."She's my nanny who has cared for me since childhood. She has been in the hospital for a long time, and no one has been looking after her except me
"Are you alright?" Emerose asked worriedly. They were in Jace's office, and she wondered why the man was not saying anything. She had been talking for quite a while, and she hadn't received any reaction from him."I'm thinking about business," Jace replied, annoyed. "Why are you here again?" He asked. Young Higginson was busy thinking about his wife when his assistant Nolan informed him about the woman's arrival."You have been married to Emerald for six months now, and she has been humiliated and has suffered severely. Are you not going to divorce her yet?" Emerose asked. "Please don't take it the wrong way. I felt pity for her since she's my younger sister, and I think she had suffered enough." She added when she saw Jace crease his forehead while glaring at her. She doesn't feel pity for Emerald; she only wants to appear as if she cares about her little sister."I'll divorce her when I want to. No one dictates what I do," Jace replied, making Emerose have her head down. She's think
Emerald went straight to the kitchen as soon as she arrived. She sorted the groceries before preparing Jace's dinner, or he would get mad at her, thinking she was resting again.Dr. Sanders had been Emerald's ally and companion. She likes seeing him but not for anything else. She's just happy thinking there's someone who is concerned about her. He is good-looking, but for the young Morgan, Jace is the only attractive man she has ever seen in her life. She remembers the first time she set her eyes on young Higginson.She was in her bedroom, using her sister's old laptop to talk to her online friend Creep about the latest technology trends."Did you know that SoftWare Group has launched a new software?" Asked Creep."Really? They're the leading software company now. I don't think their rival would be able to defeat them." Emerald replied."Have you seen their CEO?" He asked, making the young Morgan curious."No, do I need to?""Many women say he's handsome and go crazy for him.""Why ar
"Idiot! I am an idiot if I were to believe her!" Jace shouted as he threw everything on his office table. After confronting Emerald the other night, he went to work in the morning feeling angry.Emerose showed him his wife's photo, looking happy with the doctor in a cafe. He didn't know when it was taken, but according to the eldest Morgan, she was passing by and happened to see it, so she took their photo.Emerald's telling him she loved him and only him made him feel uncomfortable, making him believe her. Jace tried his best not to show it because he wanted his wife to suffer and not to be loved by him."Hey, man--" Kyle said as soon as he entered Jace's office. "What happened?" He asked as he roamed his eyes and found his friend sitting on a chair."Get out, Kyle," Jace replied lazily, but his friend didn't listen. He walked closer to him, took a chair he could sit on, and faced him."What's wrong?" Kyle asked worriedly. "You're not going to do something like this—" he said, lookin
Emerald woke up early because it was her special day. She was looking forward to this day, hoping Jace would know about it. Young Morgan went downstairs excitedly and started her daily routine in the kitchen. She cooked their breakfast, making sure that her husband would like it. 'Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me... Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, to me.' She sang internally while cooking."Jace, it's my birthday. Can I have the honor of having breakfast with you?" She asked, practicing the words she would tell her husband. She set the table and waited for Jace to come down. Emerald didn't know what time her husband arrived the other night. She waited for him to ask permission to see her nanny, Lucy, until she fell asleep. "Good morning!" Emerald greeted Jace as soon as she saw him wearing only his bathrobe. For her, he was so handsome and very manly, one of the reasons why she liked him. Young Morgan smiled brightly but faded when she saw a woman emerge b
After that incident, Jace noticed that Emerald had changed. Her stoic face and lifeless aura replaced the warm greetings she would always give him in the morning for breakfast. Like now, he went to the dining hall for dinner and sat down while his wife placed the food on the table. She wasn't looking or talking to him, which annoyed him."Get me my water," he said, which Emerald did quickly. She placed a glass on the table before she poured some water. Jace drank from it, but "Fuck! It's so cold!" he exclaimed, glaring at her. Young Morgan ignores him but returns to the kitchen for another pitcher of warm water and glass. Young Higginson continued eating and left the dining room while his wife cleaned.In his bedroom, Jace wondered why his wife acted like that. 'Did she already give up?' he asked himself. 'She should be suffering so much now. Next time, I will make sure to hurt her even more. She said she loved me, right? Then, I am going to show her how much pain it will cause her wh
“Jace, you look happy,” Kyle commented.“Of course, Jack can see now. Thanks to Eunice, who persuaded him to undergo surgery months ago. Mom said they’ll be in the hospital next week for a check-up just to make sure that everything is okay.”“Wow, that’s really good news.” Kyle replied, “Why didn’t you tell me about his surgery? I should have visited him.”“He didn’t want anyone to know, fearing that he might disappoint us. He was worried the surgery wouldn’t be a success.”“And yet it was.”“Indeed,” Jace replied happily.“So you don’t have to continue your revenge, right? Jack is okay now, and you are already married to Emerald. I don’t see any reason for you to continuously hurt her.” Jace couldn’t talk. He was thinking about whether it was possible. Although he knew he felt something towards his wife, now that his brother could see, he was worried that his brother might get mad at him if Jack found out he married his ex.“I don’t think so.” Young Higginson replied, “Since Jack is
Distraught. That’s how Emerald felt as she continued searching for her nanny. She didn’t want to stop looking for Lucy and delayed her plan to leave her husband. In the mansion, she fulfilled her duties even though she thought she had no reason to do it anymore since her nanny was nowhere to be found. But she didn’t want to anger Jace either.In the morning, she would prepare breakfast for him and serve him. Even after coming back from work, Emerald never failed to do what she needed to do. One day, young Morgan slumped on the couch, feeling tired, thinking about herself and her situation. ‘Is this still okay? Don’t I value myself that I let Jace do this to me? How long will I let him hurt me?’ she asked herself.Emerald went to her room and called her friend. She wants to finalize her plan and leave Jace for good. “Are you sure about this?” Creep asked.“Yes, I don’t think he would care if I just disappeared,” Emerald replied. Still, I want to make sure that he won’t be able to find
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
