2025-02-24 12:00:08Daniel paid attention to what happened, and he admired Jacob’s calmness. How the younger man managed and handled the unexpected things was praiseworthy. He liked Jacob more and was truly eager to keep him as his future son-in-law, despite him having a hard-to-deal mother.
So he stared at Jacob. “If we find Emily, will you still want to marry her?”
“Certainly.”
“Why?” Elsa asked. “You are young, handsome, and popular. I heard you are on the list of the ten most eligible bachelors. You won’t have any trouble finding a woman who wants to be your wife.”
“No, Aunty.” Jacob shook his head. “Emily is different.”
“Oh?” The woman raised her eyebrow. “How?”
“She’s a good woman, and sh

Jacob drove to his mother’s house. The two guards remained outside of the house, clearly waiting for him to come. Once they saw his car, they straightened their backs.Jacob parked his car outside as he didn’t intend to stay long there. He approached the guards.When Jacob nodded at them, both of the guards bowed their heads a little. “Sir?”“Okay, you two can leave now.”“Yes, sir!” Both of them immediately left. Clearly, they didn’t enjoy guarding his mother.Tanya wasn’t in her bedroom when he entered the house. So, he walked around. Finally, he found her on the balcony. She was drawing a few sketches. As it was a new season, the fashion house had to prepare new clothes soon.

Emily was on the Montgomery’s Express train. It wasn’t too crowded, so she could have a wide space to sit. She was torn if she needed to turn on her phone to call or text her mother. But then, doing so might cause her mother to ask her to return.After considering her options for a while, she knew she couldn’t do it. Pauline already helped her, and she didn’t go this far to return. So, keeping turning off her phone was the best option, at least until she could reach another town and get a place to stay.But then, the guilt was heavy within her mind. Leaving no note, her parents might be worried. Emily bit her lower lip. Probably she could tell them her reason and how sorry she was that she escaped on her wedding day.Taking a deep breath, she took her phone. As soon as she turned

Harold brought Emily to his bedroom and laid her there.Then, he called his personal doctor, “Jim, come to my place now.”“You got it,” Doctor Jimmy Paterson said.After twenty minutes, the doctor came and examined Emily’s condition. He frowned a little, then stared at Harold. “I must have another test to ensure her condition.”“Hmm?”“Hold her. I’ll try to make her conscious.” Then the doctor took a tiny bottle of salve. “Help her sit.”

Harold raised Emily’s chin with a hand and looked into her eyes. “My dear, don’t be afraid. If you don’t know the father of your baby, I can be one.”Gaping, Emily gazed at Harold. The stranger stared back at her without blinking. He seemed serious. But how could he do that? They were practically strangers! Why did he offer her to be the father of her baby?As if he could read her mind, Harold said further, “I’ll marry you, so your baby will be mine. None will dare to ask you anything. As my wife, everyone will think it’s normal for you to get pregnant and give birth to my children.” He even grinned. “Jimmy, my personal doctor, even thought I was the father of the baby.”She shook her head and then bent it a little because she couldn’t look at h

She took a deep breath and shook her head. “Harold, it’s not love. You—”But he stopped her by placing a finger to her lips. “No, my dear, it’s love. I’m a cold-hearted man. Some even doubt I have a heart.” He chuckled and shrugged. “I don’t blame them because sometimes I even think they’re right.”“No, it’s not true.” She shook her head and squeezed his hand. “You’re not cold-hearted. You’re so kind and nice.”This time, he laughed aloud until his head bent backward. “Oh, Emily! You’re the second person to tell me that.”“She is the first?”Harold nodded. “Yes.”

“About him with a woman.” She gulped. “I couldn’t see the woman’s face, but it’s clear it was him. He was with another woman.”Harold frowned to hear it. “With a woman? What do you mean?”Emily let out a sigh. “You know, he and the woman slept together.”“Ah, an affair. Okay, did you show him the video?”“I did.” She nodded.“And?” He raised his eyebrow.“He denied it was him. He said it was a made up video.”Harold crossed his arms over his chest. “Did you believe him?”

A huge table was prepared already. Arturo sat on the right while Al was on Arturo’s right. Jacob sat in Arturo’s prior position, at the head of the table. It was symbolic as they already knew the leader’s replacement, starting from Jacob’s failed wedding day.The Ames family (Al’s cousins and uncles) sat at a different table. Despite being the same blood, Arturo never considered them too high because he saw and acknowledged people based on their competence, not by blood. It was a trait that made Arturo highly respected by ten families who were under his leadership.On the primary table, other than Jacob, Arturo, Al, the head of ten families sat there.

His body was less tense than before. “I’ll tell you the last reason I selected him.”Some leaders stared at Arturo. The rest of them even bent his body a little as they were curious.“Did you know we once kidnapped his old man?” Arturo said.

The Billionaire's Secret: A Second Chance Mafia Romance Chapter 87: The Silent Syndicate's Meeting
At night, Harold attended a meeting of the Silent Syndicate in the headquarters. The agenda was to determine their next leader. It was a regular thing they would discuss every decade. Considering they could choose a new leader after a decade, it would ensure that the syndicate wouldn’t have a bad leader for too long.Five-year leadership changes were suggested because a decade seemed too much. However, most leaders opposed the feedback in the last meeting. It was impractical to change a new leader every five years. Besides, creating a leadership structure required a long time. Changing it every five years would be unproductive.Harold willingly stepped aside for a new leader to take his place. It wasn’t a big deal for him to be the highest leader or not because he was already busy in his business too. Yet, since most of the Silent Syndic
