Rebecca was visibly intoxicated after just three glasses of whisky. She slumped The Glass on the table, muttering, "I cannot take anymore. My stomach is turning!" Her eyes were droopy and her cheek flushed with heat, clearly indicating the intoxication.

"You will need to keep going if you want the deal," Henrick insisted, his tone unyielding, "I have already had more than you. Come on, you are almost there," his persistent made it clear he was intent on pushing her further, sensing her defences weakening.

"Cannot you see her condition? She cannot drink anymore!" The assistant snapped his voice firm with urgency.

"This nonsense has to stop. If you insist on this, I will take her place and finish the bottle myself. Let her go!" His eyes flashed with concern as he glanced at Rebecca, who looked ready to collapse at any moment. It was clear- she was either about to friend or worse, might need to be rushed to the hospital.

    ★★★★★Edward shoved off the servant’s hand as he was laid on the bed, muttering, “I’m fine, I can handle myself. Leave.” His voice was groggy and weak but still carried enough weight to make the servant obey. Reluctantly, the servant nodded and hurried out of the room, but not before swallowing hard at the sight of Rebecca, already fast asleep on the same bed.“I can’t even imagine how the morning’s going to go in this house. Only God can save us from the young master’s wrath,” the servant muttered to another junior servant, standing just outside the room.“Elder Harrington’s here, stop worrying like a lunatic,” the other servant replied as they both started to walk away from the room.Sigh! “You don’t know the history, so you don’t feel the weight of what’s about to unfold tomorrow.”“What history, Breton?”“Another time. Good night!” Breton said, shaking his head as he headed toward his quarters.Back in the room, Edward irritably pulled off his shirt, his eyes half-closed and his h

    ★★★★★ "I don't care a bit what you think of me. Feel free to form whatever opinions you want. Just let go of my hand, ..." Rebecca hissed in anger. She could not tolerate another insult to her self-worth. "You..." Before Edward could carry further, the door of the room was pushed open by Elder Harrington, who was stunned by his naked grandson. "Whoa, young people! If you are wishing to be naked in your room, at least have some decency to lock the door. Edward instantly let go of Rebecca's hand and rushed to his wardrobe. Getting a robe from it, he shouted, "You could have at least knocked on the door before barging in." "I was concerned for both of your well-being. That is why I forgot etiquette, like knocking on the door," Edward's Grandfather replied with a strong tone before shifting his eyes to Rebecca, making his way to her. His eyes softened, "Sweet girl, you had me worried last night. My sleep has been bothered multiple times because of the tension. Why are you putting yours

    ★★★★★Rebecca took a bath and wore the same dress from the day before, even though she was provided with a silk gown to wear. It was crafted from the finest, the kind Edward always preferred. This was why she hated it. She came down to the hall where Elder Harrington was waiting for her; seeing her, he smiled, the skin wrinkled around the eyes, displaying his age and affection. Rebecca vividly remembered the day he warned her father that he would not like to see tears in her eyes because she was his precious granddaughter."Come here, Rebecca. See the dishes the cook prepared just for you," Grandfather excitedly said. Rebecca smiled with a nod, adding, "Grandpa, my tastes have changed a lot over the years." "Changed regarding men, I get it," Grandfather said with a playful wink, "But your taste buds cannot forget the creamy pumpkin soup," Grandfather said and shifted his head to the helper, who understanding the gaze, instantly took the lid away from the pumpkin soup, releasing a s

    ★★★★ Rebecca’s words ignited the fury Edward had been holding back, and it exploded with a venomous threat. "Since you'd prefer public disgrace over marrying me, then that's exactly what you’ll get," he snarled, his glare searing into her before he stormed out of the room. "Rebecca, don’t take him seriously. He didn’t mean it," Edward’s grandfather spoke quickly, his voice edged with concern, though inwardly he seethed, wanting nothing more than to slap some sense into his grandson. “He meant every word, Grandpa. We both know him too well,” Rebecca said softly, her voice steady but laced with an undeniable sadness. “I understand what you’re hoping for, but I can’t sacrifice my self-worth. I won’t insult. Myself by marrying your grandson. He’s not the right man for me, but I’ll always be your granddaughter like I was before. If you want to see me, if there’s anything you need, let’s meet at your house. That place holds real meaning for me.” With a heavy heart, she pushed her chair b

    ★★★★Rebecca's voice cracked with fury as she nearly screamed into the phone, "How dare you turn your back on us when you made a deal!"Henrick's voice came through, calm but laced with smugness. "Oh, Miss Jonas, I was concerned when you didn’t return to my cabin. I searched, but... well, you were gone from the casino. Naturally, I assumed you’d lost interest in the deal. How could I possibly be blamed for that?""Shut your mouth! This will not end well, Henrick!" Rebecca’s control snapped, her rage pouring through every word as her grip tightened on the phone, wishing she could throttle him through the line."How about we made another deal, Miss Jonas? I know... your anger comes from the desperation since Money is now everything to your family," Henrick paused; there was an eerie calmness in between his next words, "How about you come to my room in Burkins Hotel, where I have a personal penthouse. We could... discuss terms more personally.""You slimy Bastard!" she seethed through cl

    ★★★★★ As the Elevator door opened, Rebecca stepped out she was entrapped by the guards, who had guns in their hands, and their guns all pointing at her. "Woman get back in the elevator. If you try to make another reckless move, we’ll have no choice but to shoot,” one of the guards warned, stepping forward with a steely gaze. "Listen, I need to talk to Edward just once. It’s important. Please try to understand!" Rebecca pleaded, folding her hand in front of them, her tears pouring out of her eyes. Her voice trembling. She was helpless, and if she could not meet Edward at this moment, she did not know where she would go for help. "You are not the first we are dealing with. Every day, there are many girls who appear in this building to meet our boss, and they have the same emotional request. Now listen to us and turn around," the same guard said slowly to make Rebecca understand that the bullet was faster than she thought. "I can't... you do not know my situation and I am not someon

    ★★★★★That night, when Rebecca arrived home, her breath caught in her throat as she saw her father sitting on the couch beside her mother. Tears welled up in her eyes, not just from the relief of seeing him free, but from the weight of guilt.There were so many things she wanted to say, but the words wouldn't come. Seeing her, Klein smiled softly and said, "Come here, sweetheart."Rebecca walked toward him. She wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace. "Edward did my bail. I know he did it because of you," Klein said, breaking away from the hug. "I told you, all he needs is a little kindness. His heart isn't made of stone."Rebecca looked at her father and noticed the hope and trust in his old eyes- something instantly broke her heart because she was keeping him away from the truth. Klein continued, his eyes shining with hope. "Trust me, sweetheart, the more you talk to him, the more the relationship between you two will blossom. You’ll see.""Dad, indeed, he helps us today,

    ★★★★★ Rebecca didn’t pack much, careful not to raise suspicion with her parents. She called a cab, loaded her small luggage, and told her parents she’d be staying with a friend for a few days to clear her mind. Upon arriving at Edward’s house, the servants greeted her. Just the day before, they had been wary of her presence, especially in front of their master. Now, they had been informed she would be living under the same roof. They took her luggage to the other room. Rebecca sat on the couch, her palm pressed against her forehead, as a dull ache throbbed in her head. Just then, the head butler approached her and asked, "Miss Jonas, would you care for some tea?" "Actually..." Rebecca began to reply, but before she could finish, a sharp voice cut through the air, "What are you doing here?" Rebecca turned her head toward the entrance and saw Veronica standing there, her eyes widening in shock as she quickly rose from her seat. "I’m just here..." Rebecca stammered, scrambling for a

    ★★★★"There is nothing to lie about, Miss Veronica. The boss doesn't care about anyone's opinion and feelings. If he does have something for Miss Rebecca, I think he would come out to the world openly and proudly. So all I can say to you is to wait and see," said Trevor patiently and collected all the files from the ground. "I can't lose him. I don’t know what I would do to the people he cares for," spat Veronica with anger, making her way to the exit. With both hands resting on the waist, Trevor could only sigh. It seemed to him Veronica had just called a war against Rebecca.Meanwhile, Edward relentlessly called Rebecca, but he did not get an answer from her, increasing the irritation in his head. "Damn it, pick up the phone!" Edward shouted, looking at the phone as the call kept ringing. The growing frustration in his head was punching his patience. As a result, the following second, he cut the call and punched the steering wheel hard. Exhaling, Edward dialled Trevor with a dark

    ★★★★★Edward clenched his fists and stared at Veronica for a moment, adding, "I do not love anyone. But it seems to me you are run over by your jealousy. How about you stop looking for me from now on? But that won't affect your career, nor the project my company has promised to you." The impatience in Edward’s eyes was apparent as if he wanted to follow Rebecca, who misunderstood him."What? No, you cannot do that to me... I am looking for you because I care for you, not because I want my career to thrive on your name," said Veronica, drawing close to the desk as her eyes flickered with fear instead of shock as if she had been expecting such an outcome for a long time."I am a very particular man who is always clear about his feelings. If you can recall, I have told you in one sentence that you cannot see me getting attached to you just because you are walking, running around me," Edward said clearly; his tone was firm, leaving no reason for Veronica to deny. And he grabbed his coat,

    ★★★★"I wish I could answer you. But seems like I am not really clever enough to understand you, Veronica. How about you allow me to grasp the information," said Rebecca with the same curt tone, her eyes narrowed, and glued on Veronica's face, trying to learn what's new she was cooking."I can see you haven't been home for a long time. It would be great if you got to know this from your father. Plus, I know Edward's grandfather wanted you to stay in Harrington Manor, but that doesn't mean you begin building your dream house there," said Veronica, her eyes mocking. In them, Rebecca could see victory as if Veronica was successfully separating Rebecca's intention from her innocent expression."I understand. Thank you," said Rebecca, and turned around, leaving the cabin. Edward quickly sent a text to Trevor because he did not want Rebecca to travel alone in such a situation."Babe, are you free today?" Veronica softly asked, taking a seat opposite Edward."I am not completely aware of my

  • Winning Back My Ex Fiancée's Heart   Veronica questioned

    ★★★★Edward led Rebecca into his office, the soft glow of the table lamp illuminating the dark, polished wood of the room. He shut the door behind them, casting a brief glance at her pale, unsettled face. He knew taking her home would only give her space to spiral further into her thoughts. "You can sleep on the couch if you’re tired," he said, his tone unusually gentle, though it carried an underlying firmness. Rebecca, however, remained rooted in place, her arms crossed tightly across her chest. Her mind was clearly elsewhere. Edward sighed, his voice dipping into a softer register as he tried to pull her from her internal whirlwind. "You’re obsessing over something invalid, Rebecca. Sometimes, things people say are nothing but empty words meant to rile you up." Rebecca snapped out of her daze, meeting his gaze defensively. "Invalid?" she repeated, her voice low but tense. "She didn’t seem like she was spewing nonsense... Don't you see her face? Her wide, fearful eyes make me th

    ★★★★ Rebecca and Edward arrived at the hospital to meet Martha. The more Rebecca walked toward Martha's ward the little heart inside her rib cage drummed loudly. Edward, on the other hand, emitted a chilling aura as he came to a stop in front of the ward. The moment he heard that Martha came to her senses by some miracle, he decided to hear the reasoning he was looking for without caring about her health or showing mercy to her situation. "Mr Harrington, the patient is very fragile. A small agitation could lead her life to end which is why I want to request you not to make her rattle with your words," the doctor's voice was below the whisper. "Once she is better, there will be plenty of time to get anything you want from her," a doctor who was in his mid-40s requested Edward to be a little gentle with the patient, his voice hopeful. Last night, he had seen Edward being an erupting volcano, which made him believe there was some animosity he had with the woman on the bed. Instead of

    ★★★★★"Shut up!" Kendell shouted, her face contorted in fury. Her fists clenched tightly to her sides, remembering how she dismissed her daughter's worries in the hospital. She thought it was impossible for Rebecca Jonas to ruin her daughter's happiness, but now it seemed she was wrong to judge the dirty intention of that girl."Don't you dare to act over-smart in front of me," Kendall snapped, unleashing her disdain with her eyes. Walking forward she diminished the distance between them and continued, "I cannot believe you and your daughter have no shame. Even though the man once broke off the engagement and left you to deal with the shame and people's mocking. Huh!" She paused to snigger, "You two care only about money.""Mind your language, Kendell! You're standing in my house and insulting me and my daughter; I am no saint," Rebecca's mother shot back, gritting her teeth."What are you going to do?" Kendall challenged Rebecca's mother, her eyes full of provocation. "Back then, you

    ★★★★★"Martha came to her senses this morning. Are you sure you don't want to tag along?" Edward said, glancing at Rebecca, noting the shift in her expression."Is she okay?" Rebecca questioned with a concerned tone that left Edward puzzled, and he turned at her, his eyes staring at the person who was concerned about the people who wanted to kill her, not once but twice."Why are you looking at me like that?" Questioned Rebecca, her lower lips curled into a pout as her frown displayed her deep confusion."She is not okay, but I need to talk to her," Edward replied curtly, turning around, "Don't just stand there if you want to go!""Hmm..." Rebecca replied, her lashes drooping a little as if a certain thought made a change in her feelings. She did not answer the way Edward thought, which prompted him to look in her direction again. "What is there to be scared about?" Edward asked.Rebecca looked up and answered, "I am not scared, I am thinking about the reason she did it. What if....

  • Winning Back My Ex Fiancée's Heart   I will miss the silence

    ★★★★"Move!" Edward ordered, giving Rebecca an annoyed look."No, I can't... you will go out only when I have finished thinking of a proper reason to tell my mom why you are here!" Said Rebecca, not shifting from the door while her hand holding the lock."Don't be stupid! It may not be your mother," Edward said, staring down at the petite woman."Is that so? Do you have super power to look through the door? Besides, there is no one else other than my mother in the house!" Said Rebecca with a light snarl in her eyes. She was absolute that he was looking for problems in the early morning. Until she heard another man's voice outside the door, "Boss!"Her brows were drawn together in confusion before the realization hit, and her expression stretched to horror."Trevor!" She questioned, looking into his eyes to confirm she was assuming right."Yes, he brought the dress so that I could leave your house," Edward replied with an unnerving calm, his tone steady as he motioned with his eyes for

    ★★★★★"I don't care where you sleep, but right now, I can no longer entertain you, " said Rebecca with an angry huff, turning around and climbing to the bed on the right side. Drawing the sheet up to her nose she stretched her hand and turned off the light before closing her eyes.Edward stood up from his seat, made his way to the other side of the bed, and sat at first.Rebecca felt the bed dipped on the empty side. So she pecked out of the sheet and watched him get into the same sheet as her before he stretched his body straight onto the bed. Her heart throbbed in her ribcage. Last time, she recalled herself waking up next to him naked, which left an earthshaking image in her head; for that reason, she could not hold back her nervousness, knowing he was sleeping next to her."I can hear your heartbeat," Edward murmured, his voice soft and muffled, as though drowsiness had already wrapped around him like a blanket."Rubbish!" Rebecca spat, giving a snap look at Edward, but he was not
