For months,Eugene could barely function and he knew now that he was going to spend the rest of his life in regret.He had lost Leah,forever.Everyday,he wished he had listened to his grandfather,he wished he had listened to Mrs Rosie,he wished he had listened to Brad, he wished he had listened to Tessa.He desperately wished he could turn back time.He had even gone to her to beg on his knees yet she still choose Jameson.They had a heart-to-heart talk one time and Leah told him why she really married him,about her love for her for many years,how she miscarried their child and was all alone to heal,the maltreated from his family.Eugene was all tears when she finished talking.But she didn’t cry.She just smiled and advised him to move on from her.That was when he realized that she had truly gotten over him.And now,he was going to spend the rest of his life in regret.He had lost a great woman.*******************Jameson and Leah had just finished having dinner at his house when he
"Ouch." Leah explained as she quickly turned on the faucet and placed her index finger underneath it.She had just scalded herself, accidentally.Sighing, she stared at the pot on the stove and then at her reddish finger. She was currently preparing her husband's favorite meal.She had been married to Eugene Moore for two years, she had loved him for two years but he never reciprocated her feelings. She had never dared to ask him to love her, because her marriage was just a deal. He would marry her just so he could protect the woman he truly loved, and love another more recklessly under her cover.Two years ago, Leah saved an elderly man trapped in a car accident, and that elderly man happened to be Eugene's grandfather. She was taking care of him in the hospital when he spoke enthusiastically about how excellent his grandson was and how well-suited he would be with Leah. Then Eugene abruptly entered the room, and with just one glance, Leah was completely captivated by him.With the h
Eugene was sitting in the living room watching the morning news when Jessica, clad in pajamas, pushed open the door and greeted him, "Good morning, Eugene.""Good morning, Jess," he responded gently, gesturing towards the breakfast already prepared on the table.Jessica sat down but didn't start eating. Instead, she looked pitifully at the man in front of her, her eyes flickering as she began to explain, "Eugene, it was too late yesterday, and I didn't get a chance to explain. Two years ago, I..."Eugene simply pushed the milk towards her and said understandingly, "I know. Your aunt told me. It was my grandfather who forced you."Jessica's expression briefly froze, but she quickly regained her composure and continued, "It wasn't entirely that. I wasn't brave enough. Eugene, don't blame your grandfather."Eugene nodded lightly, continuing to eat his sandwich without saying a word.Seeing this, Jessica asked the question she wanted to ask, "Since you're already married, what about us?"
8pm.A Maybach was riding passed the beach when Jessica inside of it caught sight of the fireworks display."Oh my! It's so beautiful! Stop the car, Eugene. Let's go have a closer look."Eugene stopped the car and both he and Jessica ran towards the beach.She smiled and pointed upwards."My God. It's enchanting."Eugene stared at her thinking about how Leah used to gosh over things like this on TV.Suddenly, Countless drones lifted off and formed a line in the air: "HBD MISS L", and kept changing patterns to amaze the audience."Oh my! Is this all for this Miss L? She's so lucky to be blessed like this for just a birthday." Jessica said in an envious tone. It also kept drifting to Eugene at his side, as if on cue.Eugene frowned recalling that Leah's birthday was today. And the fact that her initials were also L made it inevitable for him to think of her.Where she was right now? Was she at somewhere else still crying over?There was even a second to reflect on whether he shouldn't h
The St Louis Villa was home to the King family.The car stopped in front of the main door and Marcel came out to welcome his sister.He held open the door for her."Welcome home, my princess."Leah laughed, her delicate face looked even more stunning under the dazzling light."How have you been, Marcel? ""Good. But I feel great now that you're back. Did you enjoy the fireworks? My birthday gift attracted the whole of the city center's attention. It's even trending on the internet."Marcel looked excited."Yeah. I saw it. I heard some say that it was probably from a tycoon trying to be romantic to his wife, some even say it was over the top."Leah let out, sarcastically.Marcel ignored her sarcasm and hugged her, happily."Tell me you're staying for good this time and not abandoning us because of a man.""Well, that didn't end well for me so no, I'm never doing that again."Leah patter her brother's back to comfort him."I'm sorry, guys. I wasted two years of my life. Broke the vow I made
Five days later, Eugene called his secretary, Tristan to his office."How's the investigation on her going? "Eugene looked out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing at the city.His talk, upright figure projected an overbearing silhouette."I…I'm sorry, Boss. But there hasn't been any progress."Tristan nervously reported."After she left your house, she didn't go to the flower shop where she worked. I even went to the address where she told you her family stays and it was fake.""Fake? ! "Eugene was stunned.He turned to look at Tristan, his gaze oppressive."Also, there's no family with the last name, Smith leaving in that area.""She lied about her last name as well? ! "Who the hell did he marry?A spy?"She left with Jason King that night? Is there anything on him? ""Jason King lives a very private life so it's hard to know if she's his lover or not."Eugene was furious."How could he be so shameless? He stole my wife from me! ""Technically, he didn't steal your wife, you gu
At JK hotel, all the executives anxiously awaited their new manager."I heard the new general manager is a young woman.""A young woman? How old could she be? ""I'm guessing maybe in her earlier twenties or mid.""Seriously? They sent someone like that to turn the hotel around when all the past managers have failed.""I heard she's Mr King's daughter.""Oh, they're sending us a spoilt brat.""Isn't she the daughter from one of his numerous wives who isn't valued.""So he sent her here to clean up this mess, what exactly is he playing at? ""She's here! The new boss is here! "A sports car came to a step at the entrance of the hotel followed by several Maybachs, creating a grand scene.When the employees saw the customized plate number which read "KING"They didn't dare to gossip anymore.Two men hurried over and opened the door of car, red high-heeled shooed caught their eyes first.Then, a woman with a beautiful figure and long, flowing hair walked out of the car.She was stunning,
After finishing all the inspections, Leah and Jason returned to the office."What are your thoughts after looking around? " Jason laughed."This place is filthy and messy! " Leah sat on the sofa, depressed. Then, she covered her forehead and sighed. "Is this really our group's hotel? How come it looks like this?""Leah, Grandpa started this hotel. In the past, this place only hosts those who are important to us as partners. Never needed a hotel to make a profit.Only then could the JK Financial Group become what it is today. But as our group got bigger and bigger, I left it to the staff below me to manage, and that's how it became." Jason blamed himself."Leah, you'll have to deal with our mess. We're sorry.""It's okay, Jason. it's me who's late."Knock-knock.A knock on the door interrupted their conversation and Leah blurted out, "Come in."Josh quickly entered the office. "Madam, I have found our hotel's bedding and furniture supplier. It's mostly from Hudson's Home. Mark is respon
