“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
WITH MATURE CONTENTMeanwhile, Emerose is furious about what her dad says and goes to her boyfriend's apartment. She needed someone who would tell her how special she was and would appreciate her worth. She loves her parents, especially her mother, whom she thought had always been by her side and taught her how she would be able to continuously gain her father's affection. But with what happened earlier, the eldest Morgan felt like she had been useless to her father all this time, even though she did everything she could to help him and their business.“Hey, what's wrong?” her boyfriend, Hubert, asked. Emerose hugged him, crying as the man gently tapped her back. “Shh… hush now, babe,”“I just can't understand my father,” Emer
“Prepare dinner. My brother and parents will be here. I am going to introduce them to you,” Jace said, making Emerald's eyes widen in disbelief. Her luggage was ready, and she was only waiting for her husband to leave for work before she left their mansion for good. She couldn’t utter a word until he was out of her sight.With that, Emerald felt happy, thought Jace had a change of heart, and was ready to accept her. She started moving and planning for the menu she would cook for later. She wanted to impress Jace’s family so they could also accept her. For a year, she thought she would never have a chance to meet her husband’s family, and kept asking herself whether they knew about her.Feeling elated, Emerald cleaned everything before she started cooking and made sure to finish earlier to have time to make herself beautiful. She wanted Jace to see her as a beautiful woman and not what Emerose had told her she was.“Finally, I'm done!” Emerald exclaimed after she prepared the table. Sh
"Please prepare Emerald for next week's wedding." Jace Higginson said that shocks the Morgan family. They never thought he would choose the younger daughter over the sophisticated-looking elder daughter.In her baggy clothes, Emerald looks at the most dashing and handsome man she has ever seen. She, too, can't believe that the man who entered their mansion earlier would choose her."Are you sure, Mr. Higginson?" Emerald's father, Emerson Morgan, asked in disbelief."Our eldest daughter will suit you more. She's educated, beautiful, and very charming. I'm sure that you will be able to present her to any of your business associates." Merly Morgan added.Emerald couldn't understand why her parents were saying those words. It was as if she was so worthless and unworthy to get married to someone like Jace Higginson. She couldn't do anything but let her head down out of shame while trying to stop her tears from falling."My decision is final. I'm choosing her to become my wife." Jace replie
"Sir, I already found a nurse who will look after Sir Jack," Nolan, Jace's assistant, told him as soon as he entered his office the following day."Make sure that she will take good care of my brother.""I briefed her on what she needs to do. The maids had been informed about his supplement as well." His assistant added. Jace couldn't remember how often he had hired a nurse for his brother because they kept resigning no matter how big their salary was. It was because his brother was hurting them, saying nasty things because he didn't like the idea of being saved. He was adamant about taking his own life, which angered Jace even more. His brother didn't want to recover even though he still had a big chance, especially when they had all the resources they needed for his medication and any surgeries he might require.Jace sat on his chair and started working. Last night, he didn't sleep well, thinking about his wife sleeping in a different room. He never thought that he would be feeling
In the mansion, Emerald was confused because of how her husband had treated her. Although she had already felt that something was off, she still didn't give it much thought. She was cleaning the kitchen when she remembered how Jace talked to her earlier."You're going to work?" she asked, earning a glare from Jace, who started to button his polo and get ready for work."Just because we're married would mean I would stop doing my business too." Jace snarled at her. The young Morgan didn't understand that, so she asked."Aren't we just married? Isn't it natural for you to leave for work even for a few days so we will have time to be together?" She looks innocent, and Jace couldn't help but feel uneasy. He had never liked any woman before, but his wife gave him an unfamiliar feeling."Are you that eager to get intimate with me?" Jace asked mockingly."No, it wasn't like that!" she exclaimed. Although she liked her husband and wanted him, she didn't dare admit that to him either."I didn'
As the days went on, Emerald's sufferings never stopped. Emerose would visit their mansion from time to time only to hurt her physically and emotionally. The young Morgan didn't know why her sister was like that to her, and this started when she was a kid. All her life, she thought she was lucky to have someone like her who would be her companion. But as she grew older, she realized that her sister was far from being a companion. She's her adversary, her demise.Besides her sister, Jace is an addition to her suffering and agony. The man she thought would be with her through thick and thin had neglected and mistreated and hurt her. Emerald fulfills her duty to her husband within a month of being married. He would mouth fuck her and humiliate her at the same time. He would tell her nasty and dirty words. But the young Morgan was still hopeful that everything she was doing would end as her husband would realize her worth."Get dressed, and we will attend a party," Jace told her. Emerald
"Here, sir," Nolan said before he handed Jace an envelope containing the pictures taken at the party the other night."You may go," Jace said, leaning back on his swivel chair. Minutes had passed, but he was still looking at the envelope, wondering whether he would look at it.After a long thought, he stretched his arms and reached for the envelope. He opened it, and Emerald's beautiful but lonely face welcomed him. It was when he left her at the entrance of the event venue with Emerose. The cameraman had captured his wife's exquisite demeanor.Jace looked at the photos one by one, and no matter where he looked at his wife, Emerald's beauty stood out. He chose the dress, thinking she would look like an assistant. Instead, the dress became classy and elegant on her.Emerose suggested that he bring her to the party. He thought about it, and just as he had planned, he kissed another woman in front of her. He saw the pain on his wife's face, which Emerald failed to hide no matter how much
