Elizabeth doesn't know how to react to that. She stays still, staring at the people in front of her, still pressed to Christian's body, trying to get comfort from him. Her mind wanders around as she tries to process what they are saying. Invite to the family house? Are they serious? Why now? Why not early when she needed someone in her life? When she desperately needed the love of the family, where were they? And now suddenly she is demanded to visit the family who never existed till now… Why now? She came to accept Christian as her husband and started to plan her future with both her children and him. When she was ready to settle in her life, they wanted her to leave everything behind. "Why?" a slow and unsteady breath leave Elizabeth's mouth. She wants to scream at them for coming into her life and demanding things. The man who looks like the head of the group replies - as if not noticing the difficult position they put Elizabeth in - As if Elizabeth's decision doesn't matter,

A strike of lightning lines the dark, gloomy clouds in the distance, reflecting on the rain drops currently sliding down the long glass walls.Christian gazes outside for a second, then continues to lay his head on the back of the couch he's currently sitting on, his eyes closed.The mansion is dark, except for the thunder and the city lights outside being the only source that gives his room a dimly lit glow.He likes the darkness better, though.Especially on nights like this, when the sound of an incoming thunder, the sound of raindrops harshly pelting against the glass windows, silences all the other noises in Christian's head after a job well done.He is shirtless, his chest moving up and down with the silence that had started to settle in, only for his lips to twitch upwards in annoyance, and he slowly opens his eyes."I thought I said I wanted to be alone tonight?" Christian grits out, voice sounding tired, bordering on annoyance.Alex scoffs, walking towards the kitchen and swi

Elizabeth is glad and overwhelmed that Christian understood her perfectly. He said their children are safe with her, which means so much to Elizabeth.She is dying to meet Christian. Show him how she has taught her children and how well-behaved they both are. Because she knows he will be proud of her for what she has done and what she is going to achieve in the coming days.She wonders how proud Christian would be if he knew she had earned her bachelor of fine arts degree. Besides being a Greenwood family Matriarch, she is also a well-known Artist.If she notices correctly, Christian's words sound odd, like he has no control over his emotions anymore in the letter. Still, Elizabeth is so consumed by the heightened emotions in her heart that she doesn't see that.Elizabeth also notices that Christian is referring to his Grandfather as an old man now. But Christian always called him Grandfather respectfully. What exactly happened between them? Was it because Christian agreed to let her

Jenny sighs, glancing at her phone as she stands outside the airport."I can't believe I agreed to this." She says to no one in particular, looking around the crowd of people standing near the exit gates. She was told someone from the Ford family is supposed to pick her up.As she looks around at the people holding up name cards, she freezes when she sees her name.Two big men wearing black suits and black glasses, the evident sign of their tattoos creeping up from their necks, is making them stand out the most.People around them were giving them space, looking terrified to even be around them, eyes glancing towards them once in a while.They're also probably wondering who Jenny Wilson is.Jenny wants to slap her head and wonders if she can just slip past those men and get a taxi or something.But again, she's not in her hometown, and she does not want to disrespect a family that has the most power in this region. She releases a deep sigh and walks toward the two men.And, of course,

As they walk away, Jenny is very conscious of the hand holding hers. Even though her hand was promised to Christian, there was a strange pull in her heart towards the man holding her hand.The place his skin touched her was burning, and she felt like sparks of electricity passed through her hand when their skin met. It was so fast that Jenny felt like she had imagined it.Her face was a shade of red when they finally reached the vehicle. Charles had no intention of letting go of her hand the entire walk. Nobody could understand what was going on in his mind.Christian does not really talk much during the drive to Jenny’s accommodation. But Charles engages Jenny in small talks. And all his questions were oddly all about her hometown, family, and grandfather.“So you stay with your grandfather? What about your parents?”“Yes. I don’t remember much about my parents. When I was five, they disappeared.” Jenny answered. It’s not like she was telling a family secret; everybody in her hometow
