Everyone in the room suddenly went silent. Jacob was quite surprised with what Martin had said earlier, he wanted to marry Stephanie. ‘Maybe Mr Clark got the idea after he knew Lucas Miller did the same.’
Ken saw Stephanie's conflicted face and he decided to say, “I’ll leave it both to you. I won’t intervene.”
Stephanie finally said, “We can talk about it later. Right now I have a meeting and I am already late,” She said as she quickly made her way out.
Martin was dumbfounded with her reaction, he suddenly thought, ‘She doesn’t want to marry me?’
‘Will she choose Lucas Miller instead?’
Martin was busy thinking abo
9 am SeoulStephanie’s heart beats faster when she enters the building lobby. It’s been three years, she hasn’t stepped in there. Martin was next to her and he could feel she was nervous. He took her hand, squeezed it gently and then placed it in his arm.He turned his face to see her and said, “No need to worry, I am here with you. No one will touch you as long as I am next to you.”Stephanie tightens her hand around his arm and they’re walking together. They entered the meeting room and found almost everyone already there. The board members were surprised to see Stephanie and Martin enter the meeting room. Both of them sat next to each other in the front place, across from Ken. Ken gave a sign to the secretary to start the meeting. It was when Ken stood up and about to give a wo
Martin released his hands from Stephanie’s body. Seeing her crying over him, somehow it made his heart hurt. When he wiped tears from her eyes, he heard her phone rings. Stephanie, who lays in the bed, moved her hand around the bed, searching her phone. Martin took her phone from her bag and about to give it to her. He stared at her phone, it was Luke who called her. He continues staring at it until it ends. He keeps her phone in his hand, waiting for Luke to call again but then he sees text messages coming in. ‘Sorry was busy before so I couldn’t give you a call’ ‘Things took time more than it should be, but all clear’ ‘How’s Seoul? Are you okay? Yoan?’ ‘I hope I can spend more time with you and Yoan. Love to get to know your ‘previous’ life’
Stephanie woke up with a heavy head. She couldn’t remember what happened when she got drunk. She slowly moved her body and she found herself sleeping naked in Martin’s embrace.‘I thought I was dreaming having sex with him. Turned out it was real?’ She wonderedMartin’s sleep was distrubed by her move. He slowly opened his eyes and he could see she left the bed to the bathroom. Soon, he heard the shower running, he sat on the bed and then got up, heading to the shower.Stephanie noticed Martin entered the bathroom and saw he jumped into the shower with her. He walked closer to her and he noticed she was breathing heavily. As the water continued running, he pressed her body to the wall as he spread her legs, making his way to get inside her. They’s hugging each other wh
Martin didn’t waste a single time. He informed Jacob about their plan to get married in Fiji so Jacob can send the wedding dress and rings. He also informed Ken and asked him to come, to walk his daughter down the aisle later. Martin asked Emori to prepare a small wedding in the new resort. It was Stephanie who wanted a small and simple wedding. Martin asked her if she wanted a big wedding party later in SF and she declined it. She wants a private moment. After all, it is her one and only wedding, she wants to make it memorable.Martin's breath was taken away when he stood in the altar and saw Ken who held Stephanie’s hand, walked to his direction. Jacob did a great job by getting Stephanie a wedding dress on short notice. It was a special edition dress that just got released, a white lace dress covered with 1,000 diamonds and 2,000 Swarovski crystals. She looks beautiful with loose waves
Stephanie slept soundly during the whole flight, making Martin worried about her condition. As soon as they landed, Martin quickly took Stephanie to the hospital to see an Obstetrician, Dr Marina. In less than half an hour, she finished checking on her. Dr Marina asked Stephanie and Martin to sit down.“Is this your first time, Mrs Clark?”“No. I was pregnant before but didn’t make it till the end.” She lied“Your womb is quite damaged from the previous pregnancy and because of that, for this time, you need extra care on the baby. In the next two months you might experience different symptoms but from your initial condition, this pregnancy might be hard for you.”“I’ll suggest to Mr Clark to put extr

New York CityLilian walked inside a bar and directly went to the VIP room. She found Liam and Luke inside. Luke was heavily drunk. Lilian quickly helped him to leave the bar. She drove to the penthouse and put Luke on the bed. She called staff to help to clean up Luke but Luke refused anyone touching him.“Look at you!!!! You really need to move on!!!” Lilian was worried about her brother“You said it because you hate Stephanie, right? She is special, no one likes her, even Patricia couldn’t be on the same stage with her.”“Whatever you say about her, I won’t listen. Now, leave me alone…..”Lilian felt sad with what happened to Luke but she couldn&rsquo

Jacob stayed in the hospital for a while. He was about to leave when he saw a sign that Martin's hand had moved. He quickly called the doctor and it didn’t take long when the doctor came in, Martin slowly opened his eyes. The doctor checked Martin and he updated Jacob on his condition. Martin was still weak and he didn’t say anything. Jacob quickly dialed Stephanie’s number but he got no answer from her. He thought she had already gone to bed, so he called Barbara to update Martin’s condition.Barbara went to the kitchen after took a shower, she was hungry. She had a simple dinner and then she remembered that Stephanie looked tired, so she made a warm Almond milk for her. Barbara was about to go to see Stephanie when the phone rang. She was wondering who made a call this late. When she took the call, she was overjoyed hearing Jacob updating her about Martin’s condition.
Barbara gathered her strength to go to see Martin. She knocked the study room’s door and after hearing Martin’s voice, she went in.“What’s the matter?”“Sir…..” Barbara was hesitant but when Martin looked her in the eyes, she finally continued, “I heard from madam, you and her will get divorce.”“It is her who wants it, not me!” Martin said shortly“Sir, please do something to make madam stay! She said, she planned to leave from here,” Barbara informed him“Leave? She said that?” Martin was surprised“Yes sir. Now, she went out to meet Mr Xander, I believe she planne
Stephanie sighed when she saw the divorce paper scattered into pieces on the floor.“What should I do to make you sign it?” Stephanie finally asked him as her eyes stared at him angrily“You really want to separate from me that bad?” Martin said sarcastically“YES!” She answered it firmly“Don’t you say you love me so badly and won’t leave me? And now…..” Martin added another sarcastic comment“Martin, don’t get it wrong, I do love you, very much! I want to have you as my husband for the rest of my life. But…….” She sighed heavily and continued, “I don’t want to let my girls know how badly the
Nathan hired a lawyer to process Stephanie’s request immediately the next day. A week has passed and Stephanie and Nathan were busy discussing some company’s issues. Besides, she also discussed with him about leaving the States to a better place to raise her child. It surprised Nathan that she is considering raising her child directly and wants to take a break from the business, leaving the responsibility on Nathan and asking him to be the director and she will stay as inactive CEO, which will make her less involved in the company matters.“I promise you, I have your back! It's just I will work less, all the important matters, I will help you to handle that!” Stephanie convinced himNathan sighed, “Hmm, alright! But you need to promise me that this is temporary, okay?”
Martin was only able to stay around half an hour. He tried to hold himself by not thinking about Stephanie and Luke, but he failed. He then made an excuse and asked Jacob to stay for the meeting. He went to the check in counter to ask Stephanie’s room number.Martin walked to the 3510 suite, when he reached the suite, through the opened door, he could see Luke gently rubbing Stephanie's hands while they’re talking about him. Martin’s expression turned cold when he saw both of them being romantic like that. He entered the room and quickly asked Luke to leave. His eyes never leave Stephanie and soon after Luke left, he spoke up.“Guess you really can’t stay away from Lucas Miller!” He mocked her“Even after I marry you and make you pregnant, give you what you want!&rdquo
Martin brought Elena back to Chicago, he laid her down in the same cemetery where Emily is. He stayed there for a while, staring blankly to Elena’s tomb. His heart and his mind are lost. He, still, can’t accept the idea Elena is gone. It was too sudden and he felt he wasn’t done enough for her.‘I promise you to take care of her, Emily! But I failed…’‘Emily, I am sorry’‘If I can go back to the past...I will choose her over Stephanie. She might be still staying here….’Martin was busy with his own thoughts, and kept standing next to Elena's tomb. Jacob, who was accompanying Martin and standing behind him, started to worry seeing Martin continue silent. It was around half an hour later, Martin turn

Martin picked up Elena from the airport and brought her to the new penthouse. Elena stepped into the new penthouse, she immediately asked, “New penthouse?”“Yes. Stephanie and the kids need a bigger and new place, so I got this!”‘Martin definitely has changed. He is willing to do everything for that bitch now! I should do something. I can’t use my sick condition again and now I should take bold step to get Martin’ Elena thought“I’ll show you your room.” He helped Elena to go to her room“I was thinking you can stay like couple days before I send you back to Chicago,” He addedAs they entered the bedroom, Martin put down her suitcase.
