Chapter 40: Suicide Attempt

Stefani found herself standing in front of the imposing hospital building. Her hands trembled and perspired, overwhelmed by a mix of fear and anxiety. Though she longed to flee, all she could do was succumb to her nerves.As the sun beat down on her face, Stefani mustered the courage to enter the hospital and approached the front desk to inquire about Shaira's room."Miss Miller is currently in the emergency room. Please proceed to the second floor," the front desk attendant informed her."Thank you," Stefani replied, her response barely audible. Doubt began to creep in, eroding her confidence. She couldn't help but feel responsible for Shaira's current condition.Ascending to the second floor, Stefani was immediately greeted by the presence of Emily, Frederick, and... Jacob.Initially taken aback, as Jacob had mentioned he would be meeting her mother, Stefani and Jacob locked eyes. Surprise was evident in both their gazes.For a moment, they remained frozen, until the doctor emerged

Chapter 41: She shouldn't have left him

Jacob clenched his teeth and jaw, his gaze fixed on Stefani in his peripheral vision. Although he wanted to decline without hesitation, he hesitated at the thought of upsetting Stefani by leaving with her. He sighed, feeling the weight of Emily and Frederick's anticipation for his response. Meanwhile, Stefani regained her composure and took hold of Jacob's hand, her heart heavy and her breaths labored."Aunt," she began, her voice heavy with emotion. "I want to help you, but sharing my husband with her is not only a mistake in the eyes of society but also in the eyes of God. I would consider it if we only had to convince Shaira, but asking Jacob to pretend to love her is beyond what I can accept."Emily grew anxious, fearing that Stefani would back out despite her apparent willingness. "But it's just an act, Stef—"Stefani cut her off, her tone sharp. "That doesn't give you the right to disrespect me! How could you make such a request knowing that I am his wife? I thought you would su

Chapter 42: Indonesia

Stefani let out her 10th sigh in a row as she set down her documents. She nibbled on her lower lip and glanced over at Jacob, who was already looking at her with warm, concerned eyes. Despite his worried expression, she simply flashed him a smile and was about to return to her reading when he suddenly got up and walked towards her.Placing a chair next to her, he gently lifted her chin so she would meet his gaze. Locking eyes with her, he inquired, "You've been sighing a lot today. I noticed you seemed distracted during the meeting earlier. Is everything okay?"Stefani averted her eyes, nervously playing with her fingers as she recalled Shaira's words. She knew she shouldn't let those thoughts bother her, but an unsettling fear gripped her heart. What if Jacob forgot about her...Deciding it was too absurd to bring up with Jacob, she simply shook her head. "Nothing... I just have a headache and can't focus."Jacob studied her carefully, clearly not convinced by her explanation. Changi

Chapter 43: Coincidence

The night sky was engulfed in darkness as the towering skyscrapers illuminated the city. Stefani and Jacob reached their destination without any issues, yet Stefani couldn't shake off her unease. It felt as though someone was observing them, despite her attempts to dismiss these concerns.Upon entering the room, Jacob inquired, "Are you okay?"Stefani halted in front of the wide-open door, surveying her surroundings with cautious eyes. She contemplated speaking up but ultimately decided that her worries were trivial. She closed her mouth, shook her head, and replied, "It's nothing."As Stefani sat on the bed and observed Jacob's stance, she couldn't help but ponder a question that had been weighing heavily on her mind. "Jacob… is it possible for someone to forget someone they truly love? And if so, can't the heart recognize who it truly… loves?"Jacob stood frozen, slowly turning his head to face Stefani, who appeared distant and lost. He responded, "Certainly, the heart and mind can

Chapter 44: Babe

Stefani and Jacob strolled through the city, killing time with a bit of shopping before their evening meeting. Passersby couldn't help but glance their way, captivated not only by Jacob's presence but also by Stefani's.Upon realizing the attention, Jacob swiftly pulled Stefani and wrapped his arm around her waist, shooting a cold look at the onlookers. As soon as they caught his gaze, they averted their eyes and hurried off as if nothing had happened.Stefani, engrossed in her phone, was taken aback by Jacob's sudden move. She didn’t notice the other people because she was busy scrolling through a post, reading it, and finally connected the dots, realizing what happening was all part of Shaira's plan.[Shaira Miller, a successful businesswoman in the corporate world, is working on a new project. She is currently in Indonesia, where she is in the process of negotiating a long-term proposal with large companies.]‘I knew it! This woman is really clever!’ She thought in herself. Despite

Chapter 45: Mango

Jacob and Stefani spent the entire day exploring various tourist attractions. They had a great time until it was time for the meeting. "I'll drop you off at the hotel first so you can rest," Jacob said, holding the shopping bags they had accumulated throughout the day. "Okay," Stefani replied, feeling a bit disappointed. As she got into the car, she couldn't help but sulk. She didn't like the idea of Jacob and Shaira being in the same space or room, even though she knew there would be someone else with them. It made her feel anxious and a little angry. Throughout the entire journey, Jacob observed Stefani's changing mood. When they arrived back in front of the hotel, Stefani didn't move from her seat. Instead, she turned her head towards the window, gazing at the city lights and the bustling crowd. "Let's go. I'll take you to your room," Jacob suggested, preparing to unbuckle his seatbelt. "No," Stefani responded firmly, leaving Jacob confused. "You said you were tired. We're ba

Chapter 46: Pregnant

Jacob gazed at Stefani's face, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "What?" he asked, still taken aback.Stefani's smile widened as she repeated herself. "Mango. I want mango."Jacob walked over to the bed, gently pulling Stefani onto his lap as he spoke softly. "Honey, it's late. There are no stores or sellers available at this hour.""How can you be so sure if you haven't even looked outside yet!" Stefani responded irritably, pointing towards the balcony. "Just look, there are still plenty of people out there."Jacob began to explain, "Just because there are people doesn't necessarily mean—"Before he could finish his sentence, Stefani's eyes welled up with tears and they streamed down her cheeks. Panic filled Jacob's eyes as they widened. "Shh! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, please don't cry. I'll go outside and find mangoes for you, alright?"He gently wiped away Stefani's tears and held her close, planting a kiss on her cheek. "Okay, just wait for me and I'll go find them for you."Jac

Chapter 47: Vomit

Jacob gazed at Stefani, who was devouring the mango he had purchased, without pause. A smile graced his lips as he admired her. When Stefani noticed his gaze, annoyance washed over her."Why are you staring at me like that? It's so creepy!" she blurted out without thinking.Jacob's mouth dropped open in response to her words, but she paid no attention and continued eating. Jacob hoped she would retract her statement, but she simply ignored him as if he were invisible."Hey..." he called out softly."What?" she responded, annoyance evident in her tone. When she realized the mangoes were already gone, she looked at him coldly. "Look! The mangoes are gone because of you!""What? Why are you blaming me?" Jacob was completely taken aback. "I... I didn't even touch them because I bought them just for you."Stefani glanced at him indifferently, washed her hands, and didn't bother replying. She simply returned to bed. However, before closing her eyes, she turned to him and glared. "Don't slee

Jacob hurriedly made his way towards Liam, eager to get hold of the car key."Allow me to drive, sir," Liam offered, ready to head towards the vehicle."No, accompany Mister Sy here," Jacob replied firmly, snatching the key from Liam's grasp.Shaira, noticing Jacob's haste, rose from her seat and approached him with a warm smile. "You seem to be in quite a hurry. Perhaps you should stay a little longer."Jacob cast a cold gaze at her, remaining silent. Undeterred, he continued towards the car, with Shaira following closely behind. Just as he was about to open the car door, she reached out and grabbed his hand.In response, he forcefully pushed her away, his eyes filled with anger."What do you want from me, Shaira? Can't you see I'm in a rush?!" Jacob growled, attempting to open the door once more.However, Shaira persisted, embracing him from behind and burying her face in his back as tears streamed down her face. "I love you, Jacob. I always have, and I still do. Please, come back t

Chapter 49: A meeting with Shaira

On a scorching hot day, everyone was enjoying themselves at the beach while Stefani quietly observed from afar. She wanted to swim and dive in to cool off, but even just standing up made her dizzy. She let out a deep sigh and glanced at Jacob. "I told you, you can go swimming. I'll just watch you and enjoy." She felt guilty that Jacob couldn't swim and have fun because he was watching over her. Jacob looked at her and smiled, gently rubbing her stomach. "I don't want to swim. I only invited you here because I knew you would enjoy the beach, and since you can't swim, I'd rather just keep an eye on you." Stefani looked at Jacob's hand massaging her stomach and couldn't help but close her eyes, feeling the comfort wash over her. Unbeknownst to her, she fell asleep and just woke up in bed. As she looked around, she realized it was already night. When she tried to find Jacob with her eyes, she couldn't locate him. She slowly stood up, about to go out and look for him, but her eyes were
