Nancy got up from the sofa and switched on the computer. The moment she looked up Yaacob's name, the first thing that popped up was a photo of that man with a crew cut while he served his sentence.When she went to the Getson family and heard from those people that he had gone to prison before and was even convicted for rape, Nancy thought they were just slandering him and paid them no mind.That was because Yaacob had told her not to trust anyone.So, when she read what was on the internet, Nancy was quite stunned.Right after that, she felt a chill in her heart.She called Todd. Nancy wanted to confirm things with him since she did not believe the internet that much."Todd, when you called me last time and said you had something important to talk about, was it about this?""That's right. I managed to find out that your husband had been to prison for rape when he was in America and wanted to tell you immediately. The phone just cut off for no reason, and I couldn't get throug
Yoana had a man next to her who seemed like her boyfriend. The two of them were picking out a tie.The moment she saw Nancy, that woman challenged, "What a coincidence. I bump into you every time shop in any big branded stores. It looks like you got yourself a lot of money after you married Yaacob."Nancy ignored her and walked right to the other side. Nancy was stuck deciding between two ties, one diagonally striped dark blue tie and a plaid black one.Yet, Yoana followed her over, "I don't think you have anything to be pleased about right now, though. The news coming out in the past two days has been so interesting. I only heard that Yaacob went to prison before, but I can't believe he committed a crime like that. Honestly, I should probably be thanking you. Thankfully, you suddenly showed up to take him away, or else all of this talk might be dragging me down instead.Nancy looked at Yoana coldly when she heard that.Yoana puffed up her chest, preparing to argue.Yet, Nancy me
This time, the interview Nancy accepted would be with a very popular station.She had deliberately picked that one, wanting to get as much exposure as possible.This time, the interview was quite different from usual as well. It would be streamed live.She would be interacting with the audience as she answered the questions from the hosts. It had not been that long since she left the entertainment industry, but Nancy never expected it to have changed so much.They had arranged to meet at two in the afternoon, but Nancy was there two hours ahead of time.She took the time to talk to the hosts before hand, looking into the questions that she would need to be answering before thinking about how she could answer them better.The hosts and director were all completely stunned by her hardworking attitude. Was that the same Nancy who loved to toss her weight around and was always late?They talked until it was two, and the stream officially started."Hello everyone tuning in. Today, w
After Lucy left in a huff, Yaacob had Taya help him open up the interview.Nancy's interview was still ongoing, and she was answering questions from the audience. The host would point out some questions that appeared on the screen for Nancy to answer.It was basically putting her on the spot and making her answer quickly. Normally, that would elicit the most honest answers."What did you feel when you saw the negative news about your husband?""I believed in him.""Mr. Getson was the only thing you talked about today. Can you tell us the most romantic thing he's ever done for you?""Oh, does giving me a credit card with no spending limit count?""Fine, that counts. Do you like him or his money then?""I like it all!""Can you say who you like more out of Mr. Shaw and Mr. Getson?""That question is a bit of a hard one. Am I being trolled?"Nancy had just been asked that awkward question when a large image flashed on the screen."Oh, there's someone called 'Mr. Getson' who ju
When the third day came and Yaacob did not come to see her, Nancy started to feel like something was strange.Most importantly, she was eagerly watching her phone the whole day, but she did not even get a single phone call.Even when she was not going back home, he did not bother showing some concern. It felt very strange.However, Nancy did not want to give him a call herself, because her face really was not presentable at that moment. She felt like if she called him, it would be as if she was hinting at him to come see her.At that moment, the door was opened by someone, and Nancy immediately shielded her face.After that, she peeked out eagerly, but she dropped the blanket in disappointment when she saw who it was."Dr. Peck, it's you.""What? You sound like you were hoping for someone else.""No, you're the one I want to see the most. After all, you're the first person to see me being so ugly. I don't want people to see it."After two days, Nancy felt a bit familiar with t
Nancy let out a long breath. She was so angry that even the mask on her face was puffed up.Even tossing his documents did not calm her down. She glanced around and picked up the pen she had thrown on the desk earlier before throwing it at Yaacob.Thankfully, Yaacob reacted quickly, taking a step back and dodging it. The pen landed at his feet.He bent down to pick up the pen before asking her, "Are you angry?"Nancy suddenly felt like she did not want to see him at that moment. She sat down on the chair and turned away. "What's the point of even getting married? I had a terrible accident and ended up in the hospital, but no one cared at all. You might not even have known if I died in the hospital!""What are you even talking about?" Yaacob walked over to Nancy, "Give me your hand!"He did not wait for her to react before pulling Nancy's hand up. With another hand, he uncapped the pen and tried to draw a ring on her ring finger."What are you doing?" Nancy pulled her hand back
"Who are you talking about?" Nancy asked her, "Who would bring me danger?""It's just a hypothetical. You can answer as you like," Rowena said."Then it would depend on what kind of dangers they are.""Let's say he has his own goals, and his own enemies. He's gone through more complicated affairs than you can imagine. He's even been a part of the underworld as well. Being together with him will mean that you'll be exposed to dangers that you can't even imagine.""That's a very complicated background. Well, it'll depend on whether or not I truly like him then," Nancy answered, "I might still be together with him at the start, then decide how far I'm willing to go after I see how much I like him. Everyone has gone through different things in life. This needs more context to properly think about it, so it's hard to answer your question."Hearing that, Rowena chuckled and said, "That's true."After that, she left the office, and Nancy's carefree expression became more serious.She t
That was right. Lucy was trying to force Yaacob. She was trying to force Yaacob using her life's happiness as a threat!It was her last chance anyway. She looked at the man with all the hopes and dreams in her eyes.Yet, unexpectedly, Yaacob still gave her such a cold answer, "I've never answered you before, and now that I'm already married, there's no way I will now."When Lucy heard that, she took a step back in disappointment. She felt like her soul had been sucked out of her, and her face rapidly darkened. Even her carefully done makeup was not enough to make her look good.Yaacob ignored her after that, and turned around to leave the room.Yet, at that moment, Lucy suddenly rushed over and hugged him from behind.On the other end, Nancy noticed that all the other guests were chatting with each other with champagne in hand. She was left sitting there alone, which left her feeling a bit dumb.She did not want to catch any attention, so she decided to walk around herself.Y
