Jessica walked in and took her seat next to William, who didn’t tear his gaze away from her from the moment she entered, obviously surprised to see her there.“What are you doing here?” William asked in a low tone, audible only to Jessica.“Attending the wedding, of course. Louis invited me,” Jessica said nonchalantly.Concern flashed in William’s eyes. “Are you sure you’re okay with it? I mean, Louis... he’s your...”Jessica smiled reassuringly. “William, I’m perfectly fine. He’s in the past, and that’s where he belongs,” she said firmly.Just then, a classical tune began playing, and the hall went silent as the bride walked down the aisle, accompanied by her father. Her white gown swept elegantly behind her, her makeup flawless, making her look like an angel descending from heaven.“Enjoy the show,” Jessica whispered to William before turning to watch the event. William, however, kept his eyes on her, knowing full well she had something up her sleeve.“Take care of my daughter,” Ama

Satisfied with how the wedding ended, Jessica stood up and was about to leave when someone called out her name.“Jessica.”She turned, and a smile lit up her face. “Hi, Evan. I didn't know you were invited to the party,” she said.“The bride is a good friend of mine. You look stunning, by the way. I was breathless when I saw you dancing with the groom,” Evan said.Jessica smiled awkwardly. “Thank you. You look good too,” she muttered.“How was the wedding? It's really sad it ended this way,” Evan said.“Well, it was nice...” Jessica muttered, feeling awkward—not because of his questions but because of the pair of gray eyes that might be watching them.To confirm her suspicions, she turned to where William was standing, only to meet his gaze. Panic struck her when William began walking toward them.“Mr. Newman, greetings to you,” Evan said respectfully, extending his hand for a handshake.Jessica bit her lip when William gazed coldly at the extended hand before looking at Evan. To her

“Home sweet home,” Jessica said as they walked into the mansion. She turned to William, who was walking behind her.“So, I'll be retreating to my room. I'm very tired. Goodnight,” she muttered and turned to leave but stopped when she remembered something.“Before I forget...” Jessica began, fishing something out of her purse. She then handed a card to William.“It’s an invitation to the premiere of the movie I was part of. It'll be aired in three days. If you're free, you could come and catch a glimpse of the movie,” she shrugged.“Goodnight!” She smiled before leaving.William quietly went to his room. The room was quiet and gloomy, an aura he was used to, but strangely, he didn’t like it anymore.Maybe it was because he got used to sharing a room with her during their stay at his parents' house.William chuckled when he realized he was thinking of her again. Shaking his head, he began undressing. “William, you're a finished man,” he said to himself.After a quick shower, he changed

Time seemed to have stopped for William. The only thing that mattered at that moment was the woman in his arms. His heart raced as he took her lower lip between his, tasting her carefully as if it were his last.Everything felt right at that moment. There was no confusion in his head, no doubt, no misconceptions. Everything was crystal clear—he had fallen in love with this woman, his little enchantress.The kiss was so tender and gentle that it sent butterflies fluttering in Jessica's stomach. When William pulled back, she let out a disapproving sigh.William’s fingers grazed her lower lip as he stared at her as though she were his most precious treasure.Jessica's eyes widened in realization. They had kissed. They had really kissed!She quickly looked away, her face flushing red with embarrassment. William cupped her cheek and turned her gaze back to him.He smiled softly. “Shall we proceed to the next location?” he asked.Jessica bit her lower lip and slowly nodded, thankful he wasn

Jessica walked gracefully down the red carpet, smiling and waving at the cameras that flashed their lights at her. She slowed down when she saw a group of reporters in front of her.“Good evening, Miss Jessica. You look stunning,” one of the reporters said.Jessica smiled. “Thank you.”“Any words about the movie? Can you give us a little spoiler?”“Well, all I have to say is that it's going to have a different ending from what you expect,” Jessica replied.“Concerning the recent viral news about you almost getting assaulted by Mr. Oliver Martins— is it true? If yes, how do you feel about it?” another reporter asked.“Well, I was indeed almost assaulted, but I would never have guessed it to be Oliver. It's quite disappointing, but I stand by justice, and I believe whatever fate he gets, he deserves it,” Jessica said. Then, she suddenly smiled. “However, words can't explain how much I'm grateful for my anonymous savior. Thank you for saving me that night. With that said, I'll be leaving

FLASHBACK TO YESTERDAY...“You can't run away from me again, Rachael... I'm never letting you go.”Rachael stared at him, completely frozen in place. The revelation was a shock too deep for her to process all at once. Not knowing what to do, she quickly made a move to run back to her son's room, but Alexis pulled her back.“Let me go!” Rachael yanked her arm out of his grip, her breath suddenly turning heavy. She stared at Alexis before taking a deep breath, steadying herself.“Whatever happened between us was a mistake, and it's in the past. I've forgotten about it,” Rachael said.However, deep down, she knew what she said was far from the truth. She could never forget that night—the night that changed everything for her.Alexis gazed into her eyes. It felt just like that night—the girl who intrigued him at first glance, the girl who stole his heart in one night, six years ago.~~~~~Six years ago...It was at the graduation party that they met. Rachael was among the graduating batch

Jessica's gaze never left William as he made his entrance. Her thoughts raced in all directions, her heart pounding loudly in her chest. Why is he here? How does he know where I am? And what will happen to Evan?Evan, unaware of Jessica’s internal turmoil, smiled warmly and stepped forward to greet William. “Mr. Newman, it’s so nice to see you around. Good morning,” he said, extending his hand for a handshake.William’s icy gaze dropped to Evan’s hand, lingering on it as if it were the most repulsive thing he had encountered that day. Then, his eyes moved up to meet Evan’s gaze, sharp and unyielding. He didn’t bother to return the gesture.Evan hesitated, his smile faltering as he slowly retracted his hand, folding it by his side. He cleared his throat awkwardly. “Mr. Newman, could it be that you came to see Mr. Rodgers?” he asked, his voice slightly strained.Jessica frowned, glancing between the two men. “Why would he want to see Mr. Rodgers?”Evan turned to her with a slightly puzz

“Yeah, that's it! You're doing great,” the photographer praised Jessica as he took pictures of her from different angles.Jessica did her best to remain professional, even though deep down, her thoughts and emotions were in turmoil. The scene from earlier kept replaying in her mind.She didn’t know which frustrated her more—the fact that William had overstepped his boundaries, or the fact that she hadn’t made a move to stop him. What would he think of me now? Like an easy woman he could have access to anytime?Jessica tried her hardest not to space out, and thankfully, it seemed like she was doing a good job since the photographer didn’t complain once.However, things got worse when William walked in, talking with Alexis. She could feel his gaze on her, and that made her even more nervous.The photographer stopped when he noticed something was wrong.“Ms. Jessica, is something wrong?” he asked.“Oh... uh... I’m just feeling a bit tired, that’s all,” she said.“Okay, then. I guess we c

Jessica stared at the two of them, confusion and a slight hint of something else wavering in her eyes.When the red haired woman noticed Jessica, she slowly released William, her gaze still focused on Jessica. William followed her line of sight to see Jessica standing by the staircase."Jessica," William smiled, stretching his hand towards her.Jessica slowly descended the remaining stairs, placing her hand on his.

Rachael bit her lip, searching for the right words to explain it to him.Rachael walked closer to him. "Brandon, it's a bit complicated, and—" She halted when Brandon took a step back."You lied to me," Brandon said, tears filling his puppy eyes."No! It's not like that... I would never lie to you. I was just waiting for the right opportunity to tell you," Rachael quickly said."Then why didn’t you tell me that he wasn't my real father?" Brandon asked, referring to Fred.Rachael bit her lip.

The car drove into the mansion before coming to a halt. Jessica was the first to hop out excitedly. William followed suit, watching her with an amused smile on his lips."You seem happier than worried that we went public," William said.Jessica chuckled. "Initially, I was a bit nervous when I saw it, but now I'm happy. It'll spare me from the stress of all those women who have their eyes on you," she said, winding her arms around his neck.William chuckled. "Seriously? Women? You know I have eyes for only you," he said, holding her waist.Jessica smiled, her gaze lowering to his lips. She stood on her toes, bringing her face closer to his.Just when their lips were about to meet, her phone began ringing. She groaned and pulled it from her pocket, seeing that it was her boss.She muted the call immediately before pocketing her phone."What if the call is important?" William asked."I guess it'll wait. I'm a celebrity now, after all," Jessica smirked, placing a kiss on his lips.William

Jessica slowly opened her eyes and squinted as the golden rays of the sun peeked through the curtains, casting a warm glow on her.She sat up in bed and looked around. Her night had felt dreamless. A dull vibration from her phone caught her attention. She glanced at it but decided to ignore it, not wanting to deal with whatever was waiting for her.The last thing she wanted was to go on social media and see the endless hate being thrown at her.Shaking off her thoughts, she got up and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. Afterward, she made her way downstairs for breakfast. Her mood was still a bit sour, but it was better than yesterday.Upon entering the dining room, she was surprised to find William’s seat empty. He never skipped breakfast unless he was deliberately avoiding her."Where is William?" Jessica asked the maid, who had just walked in with a tray of food."Master left early to prepare for the press conference," the maid replied.Jessica furrowed her brows. "Press confere

A stormy look brewed on William's face as he read through the article. He had no idea what was happening. He could only imagine how panicked Jessica must have felt when she saw this."I need you to find the person behind this article... Now!" William said firmly.Maxwell nodded and immediately left his office."Lesley, contact Scott Gibson and tell him we need to meet," he said.Lesley nodded before leaving to carry out her assigned task.William ran his hands through his hair in frustration as he dialed Jessica's number. Just like the previous calls, she declined it.A frustrated sigh escaped his lips. When she told him about the role, he had worried she wouldn't get it, so he went ahead and contacted the scriptwriter. All he wanted was to see the happy look on her face once she got the role.Little did he know everything would lead to this. He regretted it so much.He dialed her number again.

Alexis and Rachael were about to kiss again when the door suddenly swung open, causing them to freeze midway.Jessica, who had just walked in, blinked twice in astonishment as she took in the scene before her.Rachael quickly stepped back from Alexis, rubbing her arm in embarrassment as her cheeks turned red."I... uh... I'm sorry for interrupting," Jessica stammered, glancing between them with an amused smile. "I think I’ll just wait outside and—""No! It’s fine. You can come in," Rachael blurted out quickly, her voice slightly higher than usual.Jessica raised a brow, clearly enjoying Rachael’s nervous reaction. "Are you sure? I mean... I could just—""Mr. Rodgers and I were just finalizing the signing process," Rachael interrupted, regaining her composure. "Congratulations, Jess!

"W–Wow..." Suzie muttered after a long moment of silence, clearly taken aback. She quickly cleared her throat to regain her composure. "That’s... that’s a shocking revelation," she commented, still processing Jessica’s words.Jessica simply smiled, unfazed by the reaction she had caused.Suzie blinked a few times before forcing a smile. "Alright! Let’s move on to the next question. What is Jessica’s favorite meal?""Oh... Well, I’m a foodie," Jessica chuckled, making the audience laugh.Suzie chuckled as well.

Taking a deep breath, Amara turned to face Jessica with a practiced smile on her face."I appreciate your sincerity and concern, but I'm perfectly fine. Honestly. Louis is nothing like what you think. He treats me well. He's loving, too," Amara said with a small smile, though her eyes lacked warmth.Jessica narrowed her gaze, skeptical. "Amara—""If you'll excuse me, I need to get back to the dining room," Amara cut in swiftly.Before Jessica could protest, Amara flashed one last smile and walked out.
