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

Brandon's eyes sparkled with excitement as he stared at the ring in Alexis’s hand. His little fingers twitched as he could barely contained his giddiness.“So?” Alexis asked, his voice laced with nervous anticipation. "What do you think?"Brandon looked up at him, his expression suddenly turning serious. “You really love my mommy?”“With all my heart,” Alexis said without hesitation. “And I love you too, Brandon. You both mean everything to me.”Brandon squinted his eyes as if sizing him up. “Then you have to promise me something.”“Anything.”“You have to protect Mommy always. No matter what,” Brandon said, bringing up his pinky finger.Alexis smiled, reaching out for his pinky fingers to intertwine it with his, “I swear on my life, Brandon. I will protect her and you with everything I have.”Brandon studied him for a moment, then nodded in approval. A small smile played on his lips before he took a deep breath. “Okay, then… Dad.”Alexis felt his heart stop for a second. The word ech

A brief moment of silence settled between them. Stephen looked at the paper, then smiled before standing up and straightening his suit.He placed an invitation card on the table and pushed it toward Jessica."If you're so eager to know what business I have with your family, then you should come and see for yourself," he said."It's such a shame you're already taken. I love feisty women," he added, eyeing her before walking out of the cafeteria.Jessica picked up the invitation card and stared at it."You’re cordially invited to the masked ball held for Halloween. Sponsored by the Shermans."She read the words before glancing toward the door where Stephen had just exited.____Amara and Evan sat in Evan’s car. The silence between them was heavy, broken only by Amara’s soft sobs. She sniffled and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her tears."Do you feel better now?" Evan asked, breaking the silence.Amara nodded slightly, managing a small smile. "I’m sorry you had to see me like this. M

Rachael sat at a desk in the police station, clutching the blanket draped around her. The scar on her neck had been treated and patched. She stared into space, her mind racing at a hundred miles per second, her face void of color."Mommy!"Rachael swiftly turned to the entrance and saw Brandon standing next to Alexis."Brandon," she murmured and quickly rushed to them, engulfing him in a hug."I was so scared... I thought something happened to you," Brandon muttered, tears streaming down his round cheeks.Rachael cupped his cheek and smiled, fighting back her own tears. "I'm fine, okay?" she said, wiping his tears.Brandon nodded. Rachael looked at Alexis, who let out a sigh of relief. God knows the terror he felt when he received a call from the police, informing him that Rachael had been assaulted.A door opened, and a police officer stepped out."Miss Spencer, please come in," he said."Brandon, stay with this kind lady. We'll be back, okay?" Rachael pointed at the woman standing b

Lynne stared at William in pure shock. She looked away and cleared her throat.Chuckling, she playfully smacked William's arm. "Relax, I was just testing you. You should see the look on your face right now," she laughed."Well, it's not funny," William said, his frown deepening.Lynne smiled. "I had a small talk with Jessica yesterday. She's a nice woman—you two really go well together. I just wanted to see if your devotion to her is as strong as the one she has for you, and from what I see, it's even stronger," she said.William's temper softened a bit.Lynne got down from the desk and straightened her gown. "I'll be leaving now. I have to meet up with my father before he goes for a meeting," she said and gave William a brief hug."See you around." She winked before leaving.The moment she turned, the smile on her face disappeared as she headed toward the exit. Her fists clenched tightly in rage as she walked.William sighed and sat back on his swivel chair, running his hands through

The sound of heels clacking against the marble floor echoed as Jessica walked into the fancy restaurant. She was elegantly dressed in a white top, black palazzo pants, and black heels, her makeup flawless. Eyes turned to her as she walked before she settled into a particular seat."Jessica," Jericho smiled when he saw her.Jessica mirrored his smile, reaching out to hold his hand. "How have you been?" she asked."I'm good," Jericho replied, then pushed a paper toward Jessica.Jessica picked up the paper, her brows furrowing as she read it."Stephen Sherman?" She looked at Jericho.Jericho nodded. "That's as much as I could find. I feel like there's more to him than just that marriage agreement," he said.Jessica nodded thoughtfully. Now that she thought about it, it all made sense. Maybe the marriage that had been arranged between her and Stephen had a deeper purpose."Thank you," Jessica muttered, slipping the paper into her handbag. "I'll take it from here.

William finished going through some papers before he stood up, placing the documents he needed to review at home into his briefcase. The office was silent. His secretary and personal assistant had already left for the day, and he was among the last to leave, thanks to the heavy workload. Once everything was set, he picked up his briefcase and turned to leave, reaching for the light switch. But he stopped in his tracks when he saw Jessica leaning against his secretary's desk, watching him. "Hi," she muttered, smiling at him. William smiled back. "I thought you wouldn't make it," he said. "I'm sorry. I should have been here earlier, but I had an impromptu lunch with someone," Jessica explained, walking toward him. He held her waist and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. "So, what do we do now? It's already late," he murmured. "The night is still young. Besides, we planned this date, so let's not ruin it." Jessica pouted. William studied her for a moment before chuckling.

Alexis smiled as he watched Rachael sleep. She clung to the blanket tightly, like a little girl, her peaceful expression making his heart swell.He ran his fingers gently along her cheek, trailing down to her shoulder."Rachael," he called softly, but she only grunted in response, turning to the other side of the bed.Alexis chuckled, leaning down to pepper kisses along her shoulder. "You're going to be late for work if you don't wake up," he whispered against her skin."Is it morning already?" Rachael mumbled, a small frown forming on her face as she turned back to face him."Good morning," Alexis said, pressing a kiss to her forehead.She smiled sleepily, running a hand over his cheek."I made breakfast for you while you were still sleeping," he said, leaving the bed to retrieve the tray sitting on the table."I followed the recipe without missing a single step. Not sure if it still tastes good, though," Alexis shrugged as he set the tray in front of her.Rachael chuckled, sitting u

"I can't," William said, freeing himself from her grip. "Jessica is my wife and I'll always chose her," he said then faced Roland."I won't tolerate any misplaced about my wife ever again. Whether you like it or not, she's part of this family. If you're not okay with it, you might as well leave." William said, glaring at Roland."William..." Lynne gasped. She didn't expect William would say such thing."Very well then," Roland said and stood up, heading to the exit without turning back.Without further ado, William left the dinning in search of Jessica.A stormy look brewed on Lynne's face as she watched William leave. She glanced at Louis who smirked scornfully at her before facing his food.William stormed in their room and just then, Jessica walked out of their bathroom."Jessica," he muttered and immediately pulled her in for a hug, taking Jessica by surprise."Love, anything wrong?" Jessica muttered, gently rubbing his back.William broke the hug and cupped her cheek, "I'm sorry

Jessica took a deep breath as she arrived at the broadcasting studio, her heels clicking against the polished floors. The bright lights, the flashing cameras, and the hushed murmurs of staff moving about filled the air. Leon was already seated in the studio, chatting casually with the interviewer. He turned as Jessica entered, offering her a warm, fatherly smile. Anyone watching would assume they were a close-bonded family, little did they know.She settled into her seat across from Leon, pasting on a smile as the cameras started rolling.“Mr. Harrison,” the interviewer began, “today’s broadcast is truly special.
