Chapter 38
Jacob Lee
I went home right after the meeting. I didn't know Samantha would be there. How cruel this fate can be? I'm trying so hard to keep my distance from her, but fate doesn't seem to like my decision. I respect her. I love her. I care for her. If letting her go will ease and mend the pain in her heart—that pain I helped to carve—I will risk my heart and happiness, so she can find her own happiness and contentment.Loving her was the most consistent feeling I ever felt. I was so damn happy when I get the chance to be with her. I made her smile. I made her laugh, but after all of that, I made her cry. I broke her. I regret everything I did, so I'm trying to move on, trying to correct my mistakes, but I can't. She's been haunting me every fucking second. She was in my dreams, and when I open my eyes, she was in my mind. It's killing me, wide-eyed. That woman is my first love and my only love. I only dreamed of marrying her, spending my life with her and our futurRelated chapters

Jacob LeeI was counting days. It's been two days since I declared my decision of stepping down as the CEO of VFHL Corporation. The whole company was blown in shock because of my sudden decision. It even reached the national TV, and reporters and magazine writers have been chasing me and waiting for me to step out of my condo unit.I know, these two days is an ultimatum of my grandfather for me.

SamanthaI was biting my lips while waiting for Jacob. I called him because I was worried, but I wasn't able to stop my heart again. I want him. I love him. And now that I realized a possibility of losing him completely, I just lost it.I swallowed hard. It's only been five minutes since our call ended, but it feels like a thousand years of waiting.My breathing hitched when a car stopped in front of my apartment. The door was pushed open, followed by Jacob, who immediately got off his car and rushed to me.It became slow. Everything seemed to slow down. Jacob was staring directly at my eyes as he walked towards me.“Jacob…” I whispered.He stopped in front of me. In no less than a second, I was inside his warm embrace. He's hugging me tight, so tight, and right as if his life depended on me.“Thank you… Samantha, thank you for h-having me again!” He whispered with a shaking voice.Slowly, I lifted my arms and hugged him back. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I buried my face in his ches

SamanthaMy fists are balled as I sat on the chair beside my brother. Jacob took the chair on my right, holding my balled fists. I'm sitting across Jacob's wicked sister. She was glaring at me. I don't even know why she's here. I'm certain she's not part of the company, not even a stockholder—or it's just what I thought?Heaving a sigh, I glanced at Jacob, who gently squeezed my fists. He stared into my eyes as if calming me down, and telling me everything will be handled just fine.Admit it or not, I am indeed nervous. Today, at this very moment, there's a big chance that my life will turn upside down for the second time. It feels like I will lose everything in an instant, and it's scaring the hell out of me.

A Liar's Confession Chapter 42
Samantha's POVI'm silently sitting on the passenger seat while Jacob is driving. Behind me is Shane and beside him is Theo. He left his car in front of the company, saying it has a tracking device on it.I keep on glancing at Jacob. Anger is still visible on his face. Worried, I slowly caressed his arm. He glanced at me and his eyes softened. "I'm sorry about Jacel."I smiled and shook my head. "It's fine, Jacob. It's nothing."His jaw clenched. "They haven't started. My grandfather will do everything to make us struggle severely.""Don't worry, Jacob," Theo paused and tapped his cousin's shoulder. "I got some help here."My forehead creased when he lifted a black briefcase while smirking.Jacob glanced at him through the rearview mirror. "What's that?""Money," Theo grinned and chuckled. "You're not the only smart boy here, Jacob."Jacob chuckled at what his cousin said. He shook his head. "When did you put that in there?""Hmm! You left your car open, Jacob. I paid some kid around
A Liar's Confession Chapter 43
Samantha's POVFor me, our lives didn't change that much, but for Jacob and Theo—it did, big time. I know they're having a hard time living a new life, which was far from their lives before. They said, we'll have a vacation on this island, turns out we will live a simple life like the other people here.The island is private, but there are people living here. Most of them are families of fishermen, and they seem to love the life here."Sam."I looked at my back and smiled at Shane. It's been a week since we got here on the island. Theo and Jacob went fishing every morning. Sometimes, they do that for our meal, but most of the time—to sell, so they can support us. They're enjoying their lives, I can see it, but I'm still worried that they'll eventually realize that they trade their lives for us. They sacrificed too much.Shane stopped beside me, still sitting in his wheelchair. I'm just standing by the door, watching Jacob fixing the fishing net after they got back from the mid-sea.S
A Liar's Confession Chapter 44
Samantha's POVDays and months had passed. Now, I'm tiredly staring at Jacob, who's carrying my baby—our baby. He was just staring at the little girl in his arm. There are tears at the corner of his eyes as he gently caressed the baby's balled small fists.He lifted his face and looked at me. He went to my side and gently out the baby in my arm. I smiled. She looks like an angel. She's so beautiful."She's so beautiful, baby…" Jacob whispered to me. I smiled at him and nodded. "Yeah." My voice is hoarse from screaming while delivering Sunshine. It was so painful. I was crying the whole time. Exhausted and scared, but when I saw my baby, the pain, exhaustion, and fear vanished.I rolled my tongue over my lip and looked at Jacob. He's just staring at me. He looked tired too. There are dark circles under his eyes. His hair is a bit long. He's even become more tan. It's all because he's been working so hard for us.He smiled and caressed my cheek. "Thank you for giving me another reason t
A Liar's Confession Chapter45
Samantha's POVAfter I got discharged, we went home straight. Jacob was so careful of me and our baby that sometimes I'll just laugh at him because he's really overreacting."I'm not a baby, Theo!"I looked at my brother, who growled at Theo. The annoying Theo keeps on insisting on carrying him to sit on the couch, but my brother, who's showering with pride, keeps on refusing.I just shook my head and looked at my sunshine in my arms. I went to the kitchen, following Jacob, who's gonna cook our dinner."Hey!" Jacob noticed me behind him. He smiled and went to us. He kissed our baby's knuckles. "Hello, my little sunshine. Daddy is here."I smiled and stole a kiss on his cheek. He looked at me and shot his eyebrow up. "You're abusive."I chuckled and chewed my lower lip. I shook my head. "You don't like it?"He grinned and kissed my lips. It was a passionate and long kiss while his left hand is keeping my face in place. He licked his lower lip after the kiss and winked. "I love the tast
A Liar's Confession Chapter 46
I've been searching for Samantha for a week, but I always fail to find her. I can't help but to cry on the seventh days because of worry and frustration. I know that it was Dylan, who took her. What made me furious even more was she was taken even when i'm just with her that day. She was taken without me noticing. Dylan managed to take her away on my guard, and i'm so angry at myself. I hate myself."What do we do, Jacob?" Theo asked me and heaved a sigh. "The investigator haven't found any clue for the past few days. I bet our family is also blocking our connections. They think Samantha is the problem here."I clenched his jaws and looked at Shane. He was silently listening while staring at baby Sunny in his lap. I'm aware that he's frustrated either, but he's trying to calm and convince himself that his sister is safe."You need to ask help from our family, Jacob," Theo added.I clenched my jaws and shook my head as I lifted his face and looked at Theo. "No! I will find her myself,
