Emerald went straight to the kitchen as soon as she arrived. She sorted the groceries before preparing Jace's dinner, or he would get mad at her, thinking she was resting again.Dr. Sanders had been Emerald's ally and companion. She likes seeing him but not for anything else. She's just happy thinking there's someone who is concerned about her. He is good-looking, but for the young Morgan, Jace is the only attractive man she has ever seen in her life. She remembers the first time she set her eyes on young Higginson.She was in her bedroom, using her sister's old laptop to talk to her online friend Creep about the latest technology trends."Did you know that SoftWare Group has launched a new software?" Asked Creep."Really? They're the leading software company now. I don't think their rival would be able to defeat them." Emerald replied."Have you seen their CEO?" He asked, making the young Morgan curious."No, do I need to?""Many women say he's handsome and go crazy for him.""Why ar
"Idiot! I am an idiot if I were to believe her!" Jace shouted as he threw everything on his office table. After confronting Emerald the other night, he went to work in the morning feeling angry.Emerose showed him his wife's photo, looking happy with the doctor in a cafe. He didn't know when it was taken, but according to the eldest Morgan, she was passing by and happened to see it, so she took their photo.Emerald's telling him she loved him and only him made him feel uncomfortable, making him believe her. Jace tried his best not to show it because he wanted his wife to suffer and not to be loved by him."Hey, man--" Kyle said as soon as he entered Jace's office. "What happened?" He asked as he roamed his eyes and found his friend sitting on a chair."Get out, Kyle," Jace replied lazily, but his friend didn't listen. He walked closer to him, took a chair he could sit on, and faced him."What's wrong?" Kyle asked worriedly. "You're not going to do something like this—" he said, lookin
Emerald woke up early because it was her special day. She was looking forward to this day, hoping Jace would know about it. Young Morgan went downstairs excitedly and started her daily routine in the kitchen. She cooked their breakfast, making sure that her husband would like it. 'Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me... Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, to me.' She sang internally while cooking."Jace, it's my birthday. Can I have the honor of having breakfast with you?" She asked, practicing the words she would tell her husband. She set the table and waited for Jace to come down. Emerald didn't know what time her husband arrived the other night. She waited for him to ask permission to see her nanny, Lucy, until she fell asleep. "Good morning!" Emerald greeted Jace as soon as she saw him wearing only his bathrobe. For her, he was so handsome and very manly, one of the reasons why she liked him. Young Morgan smiled brightly but faded when she saw a woman emerge b
After that incident, Jace noticed that Emerald had changed. Her stoic face and lifeless aura replaced the warm greetings she would always give him in the morning for breakfast. Like now, he went to the dining hall for dinner and sat down while his wife placed the food on the table. She wasn't looking or talking to him, which annoyed him."Get me my water," he said, which Emerald did quickly. She placed a glass on the table before she poured some water. Jace drank from it, but "Fuck! It's so cold!" he exclaimed, glaring at her. Young Morgan ignores him but returns to the kitchen for another pitcher of warm water and glass. Young Higginson continued eating and left the dining room while his wife cleaned.In his bedroom, Jace wondered why his wife acted like that. 'Did she already give up?' he asked himself. 'She should be suffering so much now. Next time, I will make sure to hurt her even more. She said she loved me, right? Then, I am going to show her how much pain it will cause her wh
“Jace, you look happy,” Kyle commented.“Of course, Jack can see now. Thanks to Eunice, who persuaded him to undergo surgery months ago. Mom said they’ll be in the hospital next week for a check-up just to make sure that everything is okay.”“Wow, that’s really good news.” Kyle replied, “Why didn’t you tell me about his surgery? I should have visited him.”“He didn’t want anyone to know, fearing that he might disappoint us. He was worried the surgery wouldn’t be a success.”“And yet it was.”“Indeed,” Jace replied happily.“So you don’t have to continue your revenge, right? Jack is okay now, and you are already married to Emerald. I don’t see any reason for you to continuously hurt her.” Jace couldn’t talk. He was thinking about whether it was possible. Although he knew he felt something towards his wife, now that his brother could see, he was worried that his brother might get mad at him if Jack found out he married his ex.“I don’t think so.” Young Higginson replied, “Since Jack is
Distraught. That’s how Emerald felt as she continued searching for her nanny. She didn’t want to stop looking for Lucy and delayed her plan to leave her husband. In the mansion, she fulfilled her duties even though she thought she had no reason to do it anymore since her nanny was nowhere to be found. But she didn’t want to anger Jace either.In the morning, she would prepare breakfast for him and serve him. Even after coming back from work, Emerald never failed to do what she needed to do. One day, young Morgan slumped on the couch, feeling tired, thinking about herself and her situation. ‘Is this still okay? Don’t I value myself that I let Jace do this to me? How long will I let him hurt me?’ she asked herself.Emerald went to her room and called her friend. She wants to finalize her plan and leave Jace for good. “Are you sure about this?” Creep asked.“Yes, I don’t think he would care if I just disappeared,” Emerald replied. Still, I want to make sure that he won’t be able to find
Five years later….“Jack is doing well with his wife. When are you going to settle yours?” Kyle asked Jace, who looked at him and rolled his eyes.“Instead of thinking about my life, why don't you do the job I ask you to do?” Jace replied,“I already did, and ACEGame agreed to a meeting to hear our proposal,” Kyle replied.“Are you sure?” Jace asked, trying to confirm it. They had been asking for a meeting for two years in the company, but their CEO didn’t want to.“Of course. It was because their boss lives in Europe and will be back in the country for good. He’s probably in the airport as we speak.”“I see, so he must be very hands-on in business dealings. I want to collaborate with them. After I was sure that Jack was back to his old self and was happy with his wife, I started to feel this urge to create my own online game. But you know that it’s not that easy.” Jace replied.“You know what? I don’t get you; why is it hard for you to do that when you're famous when it comes to soft
The ACEGame building is buzzing with workers who are ready to meet their boss, whom they haven’t met for four years. Employees have been curious about how he looks since he lives in Europe. He avoided getting caught on camera, so no one actually knows his face except their boss for operation, Creep, and his wife, Elise.“Do you think the boss is handsome?” A few females asked the other while they lined up in front of the entrance door of the first floor.“I hope so. I want to see a handsome face when working to motivate me.” the girl replied with giggles.“Get ready,” the one in front of them said before looking at the entrance. Then they saw their boss come in with Creep and Elise. But they wondered why a woman was in the middle of their bosses.Emerald was walking along with Creep, Elise, and Daryl, and she was creasing her forehead when she saw how their employees lined up. “What’s all this, Creep?” she asked in a low voice.“I don’t know either,” he replied. After they pass throug
