Time flew by so swiftly. It was three remaining days before the wedding. With Emily’s future as Jacob’s wife, Emily and her mother already discussed the future.As her mother wanted her to continue the fashion house she built for twenty years, a month after her wedding with Jacob, Emily would start working in the fashion house. After all, she was her mother and father’s heiress. So, the sooner she could start, the better.Emily already forgot about her doubts and waited for her wedding with excitement. With her mother as the owner of the Refined and Elegant, a popular fashion house in the capital, it was her mother herself who designed her wedding dress. Her wedding dress was an A-line princess gown made from silk with a sparkling pattern of beads to form tiny lilies. The top was a sparkly tulle with lace, fit her body like a second skin.

Emily took a deep breath before she gathered her courage to ask a question to her mother. “Mom?”“Yes, sweetheart?”“If … you know, if everything doesn’t work, can I cancel the wedding?” She bit her lower lip because she was afraid that her mother would say no. She held her breath as she was anxious. “If you’ve already talked with Jacob, and both of you decide to cancel it, I don’t mind.” Her mother exhaled and shook her head. “It’s not ideal, but if both of you can agree to it, I can accept that.”Emily let out a relieved sigh and hugged her mother. “Thank you, Mom! You’re the best.”“Remember, we want your happiness.” Elsa kissed her daughter’s forehead. “But then, it’s only three days before your wedding. It’s normal if you have wedding jitters. I experienced it too.”“Oh ….” Then she remembered what her mother had told her. “Tell me more about Dad’s other woman, Mom. I want to know.”“About what?”“I don’t know …. Weren’t you jealous of her? What happened back then?”Elsa took a

Emily went to JJ’s Properties again with Harry. She wanted to know if Jacob was truly honest with her, so she didn’t call him to notify about her coming.Since it was lunch break, only a receptionist waited in the lobby. She stood and smiled at Emily. “Miss Brooke, it’s great to see you again. Want to see Mr. Jefferson?”Emily nodded and smiled a little. “Yes, but don’t tell him. I want to surprise him again.”“Ah, Miss Brooke. You are so romantic. Mr. Jefferson is lucky to have you.”As Emily didn’t want to prolong the conversation, she only smiled and walked to the elevator. Opening the door of Jacob’s office, she saw Jacob and Viona inside. He was signing some papers, but then Viona se

After leaving Jacob’s office, Viona called someone. “Sir, how are you?”The man growled, as small talk wasn’t what he liked. “Busy. Go to the point, okay?”Viona groaned inside, but then she continued, “Okay. I want to report something. Arturo already had a plan to appoint Jacob as his successor.”The man whistled to hear that. “Jacob, huh? Why didn’t he choose his son? What is his name?”“Al?” Viona said.“Right!” He snapped his fingers. “Al Ames. I don’t get the old man’s mind.”“Well, Jacob is like a second son to him. Besides, you must see three of them toget

A night before her wedding, Emily was restless. She was still unsure if she had to marry Jacob. Yes, she loved him, but she doubted if he was honest. It was seven p.m. after the dinner when she had an idea to go to his apartment.Since the staff in her parents’ house was busy preparing for her wedding day tomorrow, she knew it would be difficult to go out. After thinking for a while, Emily finally contacted Harry because her driver was quite loyal to her.He took the phone on the second ring. “Miss?”“I have an emergency. It’ll determine my whole life. Please help me, Harry!”Harry sighed because it was a hard case. Daniel Brooke, Emily’s father, was the one who paid his salary, yet he worked as Emily’s driver f

Emily went downstairs. Her feelings were numb. She didn’t know what she had to do tomorrow, but she knew she couldn’t marry Jacob.Harry gave her the helmet without words. They headed back to the house of Emily’s parents. When they arrived there, she returned the helmet.“Are you okay?” Harry asked. Knowing Emily too well, he was worried about her condition.Emily shook her head, but she forced a small smile. “Thank you for your help, Harry. I owe you one.”Harry took a deep breath. “You know you can always count on me if you need support. You are a good girl, and you deserve happiness.”Gulping as she was about to cry again, Emily nodded. “Thank you.&rdq

As expected, it was crowded in the morning. Her parents hired the best EO (Event Organizer) in the capital to make their backyard a great wedding venue.More people worked to ensure the best wedding place, food, and event. A make-up artist put makeup on Emily, and a hairdresser did an elegant hair bun. She looked gorgeous in her wedding dress.“You look lovely, sweetheart.” Elsa hugged Emily and shed her tears. “I can’t believe it. Finally, it’s the day. Your dad must give your hand to Jacob today. It’s like yesterday I just gave birth to you.”Emily bit her lower lip as she felt guilty, knowing she would disappoint her mother and father, but she had no choice. She hugged her mother back and whispered, “Thank you for everything, Mom. I love you ….”

When it was 8.45 a.m., Daniel frowned because he still didn’t see Emily. “Love, where is Emily?”“She is on the way to the church.” Elsa smiled as she hugged Daniel’s waist. “Relax!”“There’s fifteen minutes left before we will start the wedding. She should already be here.”Taking a deep breath as she already got used to seeing her husband’s impatience, Elsa took her phone. “I’ll check on her.” When she heard the notification that her daughter’s phone was inactive, she called the EO’s staff. “Where is my daughter now?”“Ma’am? She should be on the way to the church. I’ll wait at the church gate to see if she’s coming.”

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
The Billionaire's Secret: A Second Chance Mafia Romance Chapter 86: Emergency
Jacob immediately lifted Jason and ran to the parking lot. Emily, who didn’t notice what happened, was confused because Jacob ran so fast. When Jacob called her, she accepted the call right away.“Emily, we must go to the hospital. It’s an emergency. 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 Billionaire's Secret: A Second Chance Mafia Romance Chapter 85: Family Time in the Theme Park
When they arrived at the theme park, it was crowded. However, Jacob already had some reserved tickets for them, so they didn’t need to queue for a long time. 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. Emily ordered salmon salads and also orange juices for the twins. While she ordered seafood spaghetti with mushroom sauce and mineral water for herself.“Go ahead. Order your food,” Emily said to the nurses.However, they shook their heads. “Please order for us, m
The Billionaire's Secret: A Second Chance Mafia Romance Chapter 84: She’s My Daughter Too
The next day, Emily was nervous to wait for Jacob’s arrival while the children were enthusiastic. They kept talking about the rides they wanted to try. Five minutes to nine a.m., the bell rang, and the children ran to the front door.Jacob smiled to see the twins. “Wow! You two are ready!”“Yes, Dad!” Mia said while lifting her arms.Jacob raised her so he could kiss her forehead. “Dad’s daughter is so pretty today. Where’s your mommy?”Mia only pointed inside the house. “Mommy still wears the clothes.”“Let’s wait for her here, okay?” Then he brought Mia to the couch and sat while still holding Mia. “Son, sit here, please?&r
The Billionaire's Secret: A Second Chance Mafia Romance Chapter 83: Dad or Daddy?
Jason and Mia were excited when Emily told them about the Lovely World. It was the first time they would try any rides there, so they discussed it from the moment Emily told them about tomorrow’s plan.“I want to ride carousels!” Mia exclaimed. “Oh, I can’t wait for tomorrow.”“We can see the fish and many animals too!” Jason grinned as he loved seeing the water animals. So far, he only watched them on TV.“Dad is cool! He knows where to visit.” The little girl raised her hands and shook them to the right and left. Then she glanced at her brother. “If Mommy returns to him, we may visit more cool places.”But Jason immediately shook his head. “No, don’t think like that. Don&rsq
The Billionaire's Secret: A Second Chance Mafia Romance Chapter 82: The Next Visit
Emily didn’t know what to say because she didn’t know her feelings anymore. Jacob was her past, but also the father of her children. However, Harold was her present. Yet, his position as a mafia leader was truly hard to accept.It was strange that Jacob was also in the same status, but she ignored it. Probably it was because she didn’t consider Jacob in her life anymore, but she couldn’t resist him when he kissed or touched her.She exhaled and shook her head. “He was my past. Why did you ask?”It didn’t convince Harold since Emily took a long time to answer. So he finally nodded. “If he’s here, please arrange so I don’t need to meet him.”“Do you hate him?” Emily didn’t want
The Billionaire's Secret: A Second Chance Mafia Romance Chapter 81: Giving a Permission
Emily shook her head because she didn’t want her children to know what had happened. Later, she bit her lower lip because it was a complicated situation. She didn’t want to involve the twins in it.Jason patted Emily’s hand again. “I support you, Mommy. If you want to be with Mr. Jefferson, it may be better. At least, you smiled when we were in the Cold and Sweet.” The little boy was quiet as he recalled the day when they went to the ice cream parlor. “Mr. Jefferson seemed happy too. If we stay with him and the two of you can be happy, I will support you.”Emily hugged both Jason and Mia. Her eyes were wet to know how much her children cared for her, so she knew she couldn’t be selfish.Leaving Harold might bring too many consequences. Besides, he had done so much for
The Billionaire's Secret: A Second Chance Mafia Romance Chapter 80: Support from the Twins
Knowing Harold’s betrayal changed everything. Emily even considered if it was enough reason to divorce him or to hurt him back by going to Jacob and accepting his third option.However, after she could calm herself, she knew it wasn’t a suitable solution. It could create an additional problem. If she wanted to hurt Harold by cheating on him, she was the same, even worse than him because she already felt how hurt it was to know her husband was unfaithful to her.Despite hearing his confession that it was only for sex, she couldn’t accept it. She pondered about what she had to do to the point she frequently became absentminded.Jason, as he was observant, immediately discovered it. “Mommy?”“Yes, sweetheart?”
The Billionaire's Secret: A Second Chance Mafia Romance Chapter 79: Backfire
Emily was worried because Harold hadn’t gone home last night. She waited for him all night long until she was asleep on the living room couch. She wondered if she should apologize to him.Jacob’s words crossed her mind as if he mocked her. He was right. Harold was a normal guy who had sexual needs. If she denied him for years, he might have someone to fulfill the needs, but she only wished it wasn’t true.When her phone rang several times to show there were some text messages, she immediately reached for it because she wondered if Harold might text her. However, when she saw the message, she almost dropped her phone because the pictures were of his naked husband with a naked woman. No words were in the messages.Her husband was asleep, but the nakedness had already told her why he didn&
