Chapter 43: A Real One?
Last Updated:
2025-03-09 00:00:22When they were already in the car, Emily leaned her head to the seat and closed her eyes because she was exhausted. Talking, smiling, and trying to bring herself as Harold’s wonderful wife was such a hard chore.
She didn’t lie to the women when she said she was sure Harold was serious with her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t say yes to him. Yet, paying a role as his actual wife was draining.
They sat on a limousine, and Tom, Harold’s driver, already set the car partition down so the newly wed could have privacy.
She sighed because Harold’s hand massaged her shoulder. But then, when his hand moved to her bosom, she gulped.
While holding his hand, she shook her head. “I’m sorry, but I don’t want this …. It’s

Emily’s heartbeat raced because it was an unexpected request from Harold. She said nothing because she didn’t want to create suspicion from the nurse.Then Harold lifted her into his arms and grinned toward the nurse. “Madam and I need alone time. Please watch our babies.”“Yes, sir,” the nurse said.He brought Emily to their bed because they would sleep in the same room according to their agreement. He locked the door and removed his tuxedo.Emily gulped because she was nervous. Harold striped his shirt too, so he was now bare chest.When he saw Emily’s blushing cheeks, he grinned. “Like what you see, baby?”

Emily woke up to see Harold wasn’t next to him. She put her hand on the bed where he slept before, only to feel the sheet was cold. So he possibly awoke much earlier.Recalling their conversation last night, she wasn’t sure she could come to love him in a year. Yes, he was handsome, rich, powerful, but also kind, trustworthy, and caring. She was foolish not to love him, but she was afraid to love again.Having Jason and Mia in her life was enough for her. Love wasn’t a priority anymore because her consideration was more to see her children grow well and happily. But then, would loving Harold make their lives better?She let out a long sigh because it was another question she couldn’t answer right away. Harold had already done so many things for her and the twins, but she couldn’t

His tenderness and sweetness were something that made her feel so much guilt. She wanted so much to fall in love with him, to return his love, regardless of what he said earlier.Harold had never forced her to do something against her will. For that, she was grateful. Even when he seduced her, and she said no, he would stop.Emily sighed and closed her eyes. Why should she know Jacob first? She even didn’t know her feelings toward her ex-fiance anymore, yet she hated it to create a wall between her and Harold.He squeezed her hand. “What’s wrong, my dear?”She opened her eyes and shook her head. “I … I just thought if we knew each other first, it would make things easier.”

Saved by the arrival, Harold grinned at Emily.“We arrived, baby. Let’s talk later, okay?”Tom opened the door for them while the nurses removed the buckles to lift Jason and Mia. Then Tom took a stroller from the baggage and prepared it, so the nurses could put Jason and Mia inside. The stroller was designed for two babies, so it was more practical for everyone.Harold put his hand on the small back of Emily, then they entered the garden. The nurses pushed the stroller slowly behind them.They headed to a secluded area under an oak tree. The tree was a large one as it was planted a century ago.There was a table and four seats nearby. The nurses sat at one side while Harold and Emily were seated on another side.

The woman, Gwen, widened her eyes, then she dramatically exhaled. Later, she pouted and turned her body, walking away from there.Emily glanced at Harold. “Who’s that? What schedule did she mean? Are you supposed to work today with her?”He chuckled as his relationship with Gwen wasn’t working, but he couldn’t reveal it to Emily. “No, not at all.”“Oh …”“What?”“Nothing.”He grinned and asked again, “Are you sure?” He enjoyed teasing her. If she was jealous of Gwen, it meant she had feelings for him.“Yes.”

She blushed as it was the first time he opened her dress buttons when she wanted to breastfeed the twins. Yet, she said nothing.Meanwhile, she fed Mia, Harold took Jason from the stroller and talked with the baby as if his son understood, “Do you think your mommy is the most beautiful woman in the world? I think she is.”The two nurses exchanged smiles because they knew how much their boss loved his wife. So, it wasn’t a new thing.Jason burped and kicked his feet. He smiled and blew his saliva joyfully to hear what his father said.The father chuckled and kissed the baby’s belly. “You are so excited today, huh? Why? Because you enjoy the garden or is it because you can go outside?”

After Jason and Mia’s first birthday, Emily gathered her courage to visit her parents. She instructed the nurses to put on a pink dress for Mia and a blue shirt and trousers for Jason. She was nervous because she didn’t know if her parents would accept her well.With all the mistakes she did: leaving home without telling her parents, not telling them her current location, even putting a secret about her pregnancy, the delivery of the twins, and the father of her children, there were too many mistakes. However, she missed them, and she truly wished they would forgive her.She already discussed with Harold that he would come later. She needed time to talk with her parents first. If her parents accepted her and the twins, then most likely, they would accept him, too. She prayed everything would work well as planned.

“So, what happened?” Daniel asked. “Where have you been and why didn’t you tell us where you were?”“She just came home.” Elsa shook her head. “It can wait.”Emily glanced at her mother, then at her father. Gulping because it was the most difficult time as she had to confess everything, she inhaled deeply. “I’ll tell you everything, but please if you want to be mad at me, wait until I finish.”Daniel and Elsa nodded. “Go ahead, sweetheart,” Elsa said. “Tell us what has happened.”So Emily told her parents about her fear of being Amy’s replacement after hearing Jacob and Tanya’s conversation on the phone, then many of her doubts about Jacob. She didn’t r

Jacob and Emily talked about the twins, about the past, and also their current situation. Then Emily said, “I’m sorry for not letting you know when I was pregnant with Jason and Mia.”“I forgive you,” he held her hand and squeezed it, “but can you consider divorcing Harold? I want to marry you and be our children’s father and your husband.” He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it. “We can’t repeat the past, but if you give me another chance, I promise I’ll protect and care for you and the children.”She let out a long sigh while biting her lower lip. After knowing Harold’s infidelity, it was getting harder and harder to stay in her marriage.But then she shook her head. “The reason I ran away three years ago was because I knew

From the hospital, Emily was about to go home, but she walked to a cafe near the hospital. After ordering and paying for a cup of latte, she took a deep breath and called Jacob. He took the call after the second ring. “Emily? How’s Jason? Is he okay?”It warmed her heart to know Jacob cared so much for their son. “Jason is well. I just visited him. I … I wonder if we can talk.”“Oh? Sure. What do you want to talk about?” “Well, about the offer you gave.” She licked her dry lips. “I’m at a cafe near the hospital. Can you come here so we can talk?”“Okay. I’m on my way.”After thirty minutes, Jacob arrived at the cafe. Since a few visitors were there, he could spot Emily right away. She waved at him, and he walked toward her table. After seeing her empty cup, he said, “Do you mind if we go elsewhere?”Emily shook her head. “No, it’s okay if you want to go somewhere.”So, Jacob escorted her to the parking lot, his hand on the small of her back. Since he drove the car alone, he opened t

He was already awake and promised her to give a jewelry set because he enjoyed the surprise.When Viona met Emily, she smiled and pretended to be shocked to see her. “Oh!” She covered her mouth with a hand. “You’re here.”Emily recognized Viona’s voice as the voice on the phone. However, she didn’t want to create a scene in Harold’s office.Viona sneered and then bent her head to whisper, “Mr. Montgomery is such a generous man. He promised to give me a jewelry set.” Then she licked her lips. “Maybe he loves my surprise.”Clenching her hand, Emily took a deep breath. She smiled at the assistant. “You can have your lunch now.”

After thinking about what happened, Viona knew Harold was someone she could count on. Considering her nephew told her how happy he was working at the Silent Syndicate, she knew if she could have Harold at her side, she wouldn’t need to work again.She hated Jacob because he fired her. She also hated Emily because she got the men he wanted. First, Jacob, and now, Harold. However, with her joining the Silent Syndicate, not only as Harold’s secret agent to spy on Jacob and the Gold Cleaner, being in Lee’s team would help her approach Harold.When she went to the penthouse, she heard a few maids chatting about how Harold treated Emily and the twins well.

After the meeting, Lee approached Harold. He shook Harold’s hand first and congratulated him. “Can I talk to you?”“Go ahead.”He glanced around to see some leaders remained there. “Well, can we talk privately?”Harold nodded and escorted Lee to the next room. It was a smaller room. He sat on a brown couch and gestured his hand to ask Lee to sit too.Then he asked, “So, what do you want to discuss with me?”“We currently want to recruit a new member. Since we need a diversion, the member is outstanding at providing it.”“Oh? So?” Harold raised his eyebrow because recruiting a team member wasn&rsquo

Gordon Wilson, the Silent Syndicate leader in the drug department, raised his hand.George nodded at him. “Yes, Gordon?”“I think it’s better we raise our hands for people who choose Harold as our leader.”Then all raised their hands, except Harold. When they realized it, the leaders laughed aloud.George grinned at Harold. “See? I told you.” Then he headed to the door and pressed an intercom. It connected to the guard outside. “Bring the champagne!”Some servers entered the meeting room with empty wine glasses on trays. Another bought a cart with two ice buckets and a few bottles of champagne. They opened the bottles, poured the liquid into the wine glasses, then se
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

Jacob immediately lifted Jason and ran to the parking lot. Emily, who didn’t notice what happened, was confused because Jacob ran so fast.

Please hurry to the parking lot!”Emily was anxious now because she didn’t know what had happened. Yet, she lifted Mia and asked the nurses to rush to the parking lot. When they were there, Jacob was cleaning Jason’s wound.“Oh, no! What happened?” The mother put a hand on her chest because it was the first time she saw her son was badly injured.“Jason tripped and fell to the ground, face first. His forehead hit a rock.” Then Jacob ordered Jimmy,

The two nurses also received their tickets.Jacob already created a schedule so the children could ride what they wanted. They enjoyed the carousels, Ferris wheel, seeing some princes and princesses in the castle, then they rode the train too in the theme park.Afterward, they had lunch at a restaurant.
