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. Jessica sighed in frustration before following her.

As soon as they stepped into the dining room, Louis stood up abruptly, his chair scraping against the floor.

"Amara, we're leaving," he said, his voice sharp, before turning toward the exit.

His gaze locked with Jessica’s for a brief moment before he walked out.

"Thanks for having us today. Have a great day," Amara said, forcing a smile before hurrying after her husband.

Jessica watched the entrance before turning to William, who had a

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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. "It's not like that, I—Brandon!" she called when Brandon ran upstairs to his room, locking the door."Brandon!" Rachael was about to go after him, but Alexis held her back."I'll go talk to him myself," Alexis said, then left.He stopped in front of Brandon's room and knocked. No response.Alexis sighed.

    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.

    "I hate you," Rachael muttered tearfully. "You're disgusting!" she screamed in anger."Disgusting? I wasn't the one who cheated on their spouse with the father of her child, then had that person threaten her spouse at gunpoint for a divorce," Fred said.Rachael just continued sobbing in silence.Fred stood up and walked toward her, sitting down in the space next to her."Just give in. There's no hope now," he said, rubbing his thumb against her teary cheek."If I accept, do you promise not to go after them?" she said, finally looking up at him."You have my word, love."Rachael looked away and nodded ever so slightly. Fred smiled in victory."That's my wife. My sweet, docile wife," he said, patting her hair gently.Rachael folded her fists tightly beneath the sheets as he patted her hair._____"Pregnant?"

    Alexis sat on the chair, drumming his fingers on the table as he occasionally glanced toward the hallway that led to the restroom.He looked at the group of violinists who were already on standby, waiting for Rachael to arrive. The words "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" were boldly written on the cards which the waiters held.He sighed as he checked the time on his wristwatch. Twenty minutes had already passed since Rachael excused herself to use the restroom.The more minutes passed, the more anxious he became.The waitress he had sent to check on Rachael came back with a worried look on her face—and that’s when he knew something was wrong."Where's Rachael?" he immediately asked as she approached."I'm sorry, sir, but I couldn’t find madam. When I got to the restroom, it was empty... Only this note was on the floor," she said, stretching the note toward Alexis.He took it and read it. His eyes widened.“Fuck,” he breathed out, immediately storming toward the exit of the restaurant.He looked ar

    Louis was expecting a scared or tearful reaction from Amara, but he was momentarily stunned when she swiftly turned to face him, glaring while holding her stinging cheek.She smirked scornfully before standing. “Go on, hit me however you want. After all, that’s all you can do,” she said before walking away.“Amara,” Louis called, but she didn’t turn back.“Amara! If you leave this room, you’ll regret it,” he warned.Amara turned to him, then smirked before walking out of the room.Louis folded his fists tightly as he glared at nothing in particular.Roland, who was still casually eating like nothing had happened, smiled. “What’s wrong with your wife? Acting up again?” he said.“You tell me. After all, you were the one who forced me into marrying that wench,” Louis snapped.“Or maybe you’re getting too soft on her. Women are like dogs—you need to constantly remind them who their owner is. Your mother was really a docile one. Too bad she passed away,” Roland said.“I’ll deal with her la

    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.

    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.
