Usually, just seeing other women being physically close to Yaacob was enough to peeve Nancy and make her see red. How could she tolerate a slut throwing taunts at her like this?Nancy reached for the wine on the table and splashed it on Serena."Ah!..." Serena shrieked as she jumped up, finally leaving Yaacob alone."My new dress! Do you have any idea how much it cost?!"Since Serena was an obscure D-list actress, she was not rich by any means. When she heard she had the chance to socialize and drink with a big shot like Yaacob, she put on the best dress and accessories she could manage. She rented a diamond necklace that cost more than a hundred thousand dollars for this occasion. It was unlikely that she could return it with the stain from the red wine.Serena was so furious that she wanted to snap Nancy in half. However, just as she was going up against Nancy, Nancy had the upper hand and slapped her.The room fell into deafening silence.The first to leave the room were the
Nancy saw there was a vase with flowers on the table. She removed the flowers and poured the water in the vase onto Serena."Ah! Nancy, what did you do!""There, are you awake now?"Serena was rendered speechless."If that was not enough to sober you up, there's a bucket of mop water just outside the room. That should stop your daydreaming. You are in this room for not more than ten minutes. Yaacob was never this fast."Indeed, it was exactly as she said. Yaacob and Serena just entered the room, and they did not have enough time to have sex before Nancy came barging in.Nancy could hear the sound of water coming from the bathroom. It must be Yaacob taking a shower.Serena's trick could not deceive Nancy.Even though Nancy had exposed Serena's lie, Serena was still arrogant and obnoxious. She said, "Nancy Lawson, you've been the only woman in Yaacob's life for far too long. Didn't you know that men will get bored eventually? Among all the rich men's wives in Athenapolis, you are
"Impossible!" Xander refused to believe what Nancy told him. "Nancy, look at what Yaacob has become. If you refuse to tell me the truth, I won't help you the next time he hurts you.""That's up to you."Seeing how Nancy was unwilling to budge, Xander was furious, turned around, and walked away.Then again, the two had always been at odds with each other, so this turn of events was very normal.Xander refused to listen to Nancy because that would mean he had to accept the fact that something bad had happened to Anna. He would rather believe that Nancy was lying in order to buy more time for Anna to get away from him.As Xander left the hotel, someone bumped into him at the entrance.From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a petite and familiar figure passing by, and he reached out to grab her subconsciously."Ann…"It was not Anna!Nancy had kept Anna hidden somewhere. There was no way she would show up here."Pardon me."Xander released the girl, but she caught up
Julian was enraged when he saw the two brutes tugging and tearing Nancy's clothes. He punched them, helped Nancy, and ensured she was alright."Are you okay?" Julian asked.Nancy nodded her head and said, "I'm okay.""Look at you! You call this okay?" Julian saw the marks and bruises caused by the slaps, and his eyes became dark and cold. "Who did this to you?"Julian did not wait for Nancy to reply, and he cast his eyes on Serena, for she was nearest to them.Serena was badly shaken with fear when Julian looked at her. From what she heard, Julian was more difficult to deal with than Yaacob. Yaacob had impressed upon others as the polite gentleman, whereas Julian was spoiled rotten. Julian was known to be bad-tempered and used to getting his way in Athenapolis. No one wanted to, or dared to, get on his wrong side. Things usually end badly for those who were foolish enough to cross him.One thing, though. For the life of it, Serena could not figure out why Julian would come to re
Yaacob was doing Nancy in the corridor on the second floor, a common area, out in the public.The Getson family had many members, and any servant could walk up on them unknowingly. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry walking past the corridor would see Nancy being pinned by Yaacob onto Julian's door…Yaacob and Nancy were married, so what they did was nothing out of the ordinary. However, the most intimate act was showcased in the most humiliating manner.Nancy could feel Yaacob's burning breath on her ears as he whispered, "Your definition of true love is never leaving me no matter what I do to you?"Now, Nancy understood what was fueling Yaacob's anger and rage. He was enraged because Nancy came back to the Getson Estate. Nancy was not the target of his wrath, but it was toward himself!Lately, Yaacob has been facing a particularly contradictory phase. He was doing everything he could to deny everything in his past. He even went so far as to make everyone hate and turn against him in the co
Nancy knew it. Yaacob was hiding something from her.As expected, something was wrong with him physically. However, Nancy did not go and fetch him immediately. Instead, she went to look for Randall.When Nancy rang the bell, Lola came to the door."Yes?" Local asked."Is Randall in? I'm looking for him," Nancy asked."No.""Then I'll go in and wait," Nancy pushed her way in."Hey…"Nancy went in without being invited and called for Randall twice. No one responded."I told you Randall's not around." Lola sighed as she said this. She went to pour a cup of coffee for Nancy.Lola was having a cup before Nancy came, so she took her coffee and went to sit with Nancy.Since Randall came back to town, Nancy and Lola had reconciled.Although they would not consider each other friends, they were able to be civil with each other for their partners. "Sigh. Randall has been going out early in the morning and only returns when it's really late. I'm starting to wonder if he really has t
That night, a group of men sneaked into the Getson Estate and took Yaacob away.Randall needed to understand Yaacob's current physical condition and also monitor him on a daily basis in order to develop an effective cure. Besides, rather than letting Yaacob go about causing trouble and harming himself and others, it was much easier and better to lock him up.That was Nancy's idea. The three men were indecisive as to how to handle Yaacob's disturbing condition, and Nancy fixed this issue with such a simple idea. No wonder the saying goes hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."Are you sure about this? If we couldn't cure him in the end, I have to respect Yaacob's wishes and never let you see him again," said Randall."In that case, I'll just pretend that he died in Europe.""Don't blame him. He really tried his best.""I know."However, deep down, Nancy was not as decisive as she made herself out to be.Thinking that that might be the last time she would see him, she tailed Ran
"What's wrong with him? Is he getting worse, or is there no cure for the virus?"Seeing how anxious Nancy was, Randall said, "Since you care about him so much, you might as well take him back with you.""Huh?"Five minutes later, Randall had someone bring 'Yaacob' out to them.The man standing in front of Nancy looked much thinner than when Nancy last saw Yaacob. He had injuries and bruises all over, and he seemed very scared and fearful. It was obvious he had been tortured.The man did not even dare to look at anyone. He took a peek at Nancy and scrambled to hide under a table."Is he… Wilfred Carney?" asked Nancy, pointing at the man.Even though his appearance was altered to look like Yaacob, Nancy could tell at a glance that he was an imposter because his temperament and aura were too drastically different from Yaacob's."Yes. Bring him back with you. If word gets out that Yaacob is missing, it will create a huge uproar within the Getson Corporation. You won't be able to ha
