Emily was still finishing the remaining tears. Shila, who had been by her side, was silent and occasionally rubbed Emily's back or hugged her best friend.What happened to Emily? Perhaps Shila would not be able to go through so firmly as her best friend did.After being betrayed several times, given false promises, then catapulted again sky-high and again knocked down, Emily still also left an apology for Jason."Em ... are you okay? If you don't want to go back home first, at least until you get better, you know, this house is always open to you," said Shila when Emily was about to step out of her best friend's residence. she had been there since morning. She had to get home before Jason got home.Emily knew that what Shila was doing was only to help her escape from Jason, who was like poison to her. However, Emily, solid and rigid, became fragile and not without reason."No, Shila. I have to be at home, so he doesn't bring that woman to come and enter our house. If he wants to do th
Emily gulped down the water in her glass. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed a few hours ago. It was already evening, and Emily still couldn't forget what had happened. Stupidly, she did not record the incident as evidence. Emily's body was still shaking violently. The glass in her hand almost fell, and when her eyes caught the figure of Jason standing not far from where Emily was, the drink fell on the floor along with Emily's scream. "Shit! S-sorry, Jase, I was surprised to see you there. I thought you'd be home late again." Emily crouched down and picked up the broken glass carefully, although her hands were still shaking. "Don't clean it like that; let me help. Don't hurt your hands again," Jason said as he brought a floor broom and started cleaning it slowly. Meanwhile, Emily clutched her body and looked uneasy, walking to and fro. Jason couldn't help but notice his wife's strange behavior. "Did something happen? I left the office earlier because of a sudden m
The fight between Emily and Jason began to look absurd. Jason showed jealousy and suspicion, making Emily even more confused about the man's feelings. However, when Emily asks Jason about his feelings, the man constantly changes the subject. If asked what exactly was being planned by Emily, she had explained it repeatedly to Jason, and she was not sure the man was listening well because Jason would frequently ask again. And Jason would occupy himself with work every time he had completed an episode of the fight between him and Emily. Emily knew that Jason spent more time at the office than at Tamara's apartment. She had asked some of Jason's employees to keep an eye out. Several agreed, and Emily would pay them well for helping her become a confidential informant. Today, Emily got the same report that Jason hadn't even gone out for lunch. Emily finally decides to come to take him out to lunch. "What did you come here for? You know, I'm not in the mood for a fight," Jason said wi
Charles invited Emily and Jason to dinner at the McKennel residence. The parents missed Jason and their daughter-in-law having a meal together and chatting as usual. Emma herself contacted Emily to invite her daughter-in-law and son in person. "We hope you will come. Charles asked me and some of the helpers to make a nice meal," Emma said, sounding excited. Emily didn't have the heart to refuse. However, Jason always came home late, and she wasn't sure if he would go. "I don't know about Jason; he's been busy with work lately. However, I can come, Mrs. McKennel; you can rest easy. I'll help you make Mr. McKennel's favorite snack." Emily answered her mother-in-law's invitation while flashing a happy smile. "Oh, no, dear. Charles will nag me if you intervene in this matter. You'll be guests later, so don't touch anything because I've got a whole army of people to help," Emma said with an excited laugh. "Alright then. I'll get everything ready for later. And I'll let Jason know in c
Jason couldn't move when Emily calmly told him that the man who left with her was her ex-boyfriend. Emily doesn't mean to torture Jason with pain; she wants Jason to know what it's like to be doomed.There is another hidden fact and side of Emily's relationship with Alex, actually. They used to like each other, but it's not true they were ever in love. Emily just wanted to play with Jason."What did you say? Ex-lover? And you went to the law institute with your ex-lover; what for, Emily?" asked Jason with a raised intonation. Jealousy maybe was the underlying attitude of Jason at the moment.Although he had hurt Emily many times, this was the first time he knew how it felt. And being jealous is very unpleasant."Yes, is there a problem?" asked Emily with a tone of voice that was inversely proportional to that of Jason. The woman seemed so calm and guarded in her speech."You asked, 'is there a problem'? The problem is that you're my wife, Em! Are you starting to lose your mind?" he sa

Emily sat stunned after Tamara left. Emily was alone, because Jason drove Tamara back to her apartment. Emily's chest felt tight right now. All this time, she had tried to endure no matter how much Jason hurt her. However, for this one, she wouldn't stand for it. What kind of marriage would make her have to endure this much pain? Emily didn't want to wait for Jason to come home. She decided to leave. But where to go? She couldn't stay in that house because it would make her even sicker with the memories of Jason and all the pain and sweetness he had given her. Emily took her things and packed them up, and left without her vehicle. She didn't want Jason or anyone else to find her. She took a piece of paper and a pen, writing a few words to Jason that she was leaving to calm down so she would know what to do next. Emily hurried away before Jason returned, allowing new drama between them. If she and Jason still live their marriage like this, it will be impossible to get a solution be
"You're going back to her?" asked Alex; Emily no longer cared what he was asking because the contents of Emily's head were scattered everywhere.How could she think straight at this point? Just imagining what would happen to her with this pregnancy and the mess of her marriage made her helpless.She was pregnant, just like Tamara, and they had even found out about it around the same time. So if Emily told Jason, would he care or believe what she said? Would he have decided to choose Emily? Or would he stick with Tamara?Emily nodded, answering Alex's question. She then turned to the man who had given her a place to stay last night and was about to say thank you. However, what happened next was that she became even more silent."I'm sorry, Alex," Emily said, full of regret. However, Emily was guilty of having made Alex a refuge; it had always been the case that whenever Jason made her cry, Alex was always the only one who returned the joy to
