“How is everyone?” asked Jace, looking at Emerald and the other team who were ready to launch the game they developed. They all looked excited and very happy because they managed to finish everything earlier than planned and the whole esport industry has been waiting for it.The first time they launched their teaser, every gamer anticipated the game to be exciting and challenging at the same time. Emerald made sure that the players would be able to enjoy every level that they had to get through before advancing. The items they need to buy were on sale for the first week which the gamers will take advantage of. The story behind every character was written by known writers as well so everything in the game was worth the wait.“Yes, sir!” everyone replied before they clapped their hands. Emerald who was standing beside her husband was feeling nervous which always happens whenever she launches a new game. Jace took her hands and held her tightly to calm her.“Relax, dear wife. I’m sure ev
“Dad, can you come with me on the rollercoaster?” Ace asked. Jace looked at Emerald, who was laughing. That’s how the boy was; she knew he would never stop unless he got to ride there. They were in an amusement park where their son requested they go for family bonding.“You see, ahm–” “Don’t tell me you’re scared to ride, Dad.” Emerald couldn’t contain her laughter and let it out, making the father and son look at her, confused.“I’m sorry,” she said while waving her hands in front of them.“Are you laughing at me?” Jace asked with a furrowed brow.“Yes, Daddy. I’m sure Mommy is laughing at you because you look scared to ride the rollercoaster.” Little Ace said, teasing, making Emerald wink at him.“I’m not scared!” Jace exclaimed. Although he’s not fond of rides in an amusement park, he’s not a bit scared to try them. It’s just that he was worried for his son.“Will you be okay?” Young Higginson asked worriedly. Ace nodded in excitement, thinking his father would accompany him. “Alr
“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
