“Walang iba doon, dahil ang totoo, mas importante yang kabit mo kaysa sa lahat ng bagay! You always put your mistress in the first line! Lola ko ang usapan dito, Harvey! She is literally your in-law kaya bakit hindi mo kayang bayaran ang mga tao sa presinto gayong ginagawa mo naman iyon tuwing kailangan ng kabit mo ang dugo ko?!” “I said don’t call her that—” “Why? Iyon naman talaga ang dapat itawag diyan sa babaeng 'yan, ah?! A fvcking mistress—” “Shut up!” Napatalon sa gulat si Jessa sa sigaw ni Harvey sa kanya. Jessa did everything to be a perfect wife to her husband, but even though she did everything, it still wasn’t enough because what mattered to her husband was his mistress. Jessa's pain fuels her strength to seek revenge.

"I will only change my mind after you have managed to show me how far you're willing to go. Every good thing comes at a cost, what are willing to pay for yours?" he asked me with his arms folded across his broad chest. "I would have sacrificed everything I have but the only problem is that you're not a good thing. You're a walking nightmare and my goal will forever remain escaping from your clutches." I said with so much confidence laced through my voice but heaven and earth knew that I felt like a puddle inside. His aura was so strong and powerful and anyone could disintegrate by just standing close to him. Well, I considered myself strong for being able to stand up to him when I was supposed to be whimpering like a puppy but there I was, running my mouth like a parrot.

"Stay away from me you monster!” I screamed at the top of my lungs while I sat there breathless and sweaty. My dress was ripped in half and my hair stood in my face. My eyes were furiously staring at him while I tried releasing my tied hands. ******* “Who the f**k are you, Levi? You can't just barge into my life and expect me to answer your every question.” I retorted, my blood already heating up. “Savannah, how could you keep our child a secret from me? Is this your way of punishing me for what happened between us?” His voice reverberated with an intense wave of anger. “Levi, I never wanted to keep her from you. You never gave me the chance to talk. You cut me off from everyone and everything. I was scared…scared of how you would react, scared of the consequences for both her and me,” I replied with tears streaming down my face. Levi interrupted me before I could finish what I was saying. It would have been helpful if he had taken the time to listen before interrupting. “Scared? Do you think that's an excuse? You denied me the right to be a father and be a part of her life. I won't stand for that” I tried explaining further, “Levi, I never denied you anything. You never gave me the opportunity, and I didn't know how to approach this situation. I wanted to protect her, to shield her from any pain or harm.” “Protect her? By keeping her away from her father? How could you be so selfish?

All because his first love, Luna Harper, needed test subjects for her drug research, Jake Bertrand sent me to a mental hospital when I was pregnant just so I could serve as an experiment subject for her. I was electroshocked until I drooled and convulsed, but he simply covered his first love’s eyes in disgust, saying, “What filth. Don’t look.” Thanks to the results of this experiment, Luna received a nomination for an award, and he lit up the entire city with fireworks to celebrate her success. Meanwhile, during the freezing winter night under the dazzling fireworks, I gave birth to a deformed male fetus. The child cried just once before passing away. Numbly, I placed the stillborn into a freezing chamber. Seven days later, at the awards ceremony for Luna, it would appear in Jake’s hands as a gift.
