★★★ Jessica pushed her locks out of her face then gradually opened her eyes to the window, which had been wide open since the night before. Unaware Jessica abruptly got pulled by the waist deeper into the bed until she collided with another warm body. Jessica was shocked by the realization. With anxiety, she shifted her head to her opposite side and discovered Liam with his face on the pillow and his hand around her waist. As she thought back on her time with him the previous evening, the pulsing blood in her veins stiffened. Her eyes switched to the ceiling as she blushed in embarrassment while thinking why she had done this and why the person was Liam Grey. “What am I going to do? O god, I shouldn't have consumed alcohol," Jessica was constantly berating herself for what she had done. There were always solutions to any problem, but she chose not to try that. Yes, she allowed the incidents to take place rather than putting a stop to them before they completely enveloped her. “You

★★★ Chris approached their table while sporting a dejected expression, followed by Mr. Fredrick. Jessica stood up from her seat along with a look of bewilderment on her face because she was not prepared for Chris to be here. Drawing her brows together Jessica pondered, 'What was he doing here for?' Liam got up from his seat and put both of his hands on the table as his once-playful eyes grew gloomy and carried the killing icicles. He recognized this man as the one he had seen with Jessica that day, and he was the source of the turbulent emotions he had experienced. “What brought you here while I am not able to see Cornell? What is occurring?" Chris questioned Jessica, but his focus was on Liam, who had pushed his plate off the edge of the table and shifted his body around. “Well, I am here for work with Mr. Grey, and Cornell is staying at home with Ben and a friend of mine," Jessica responded sincerely. However, in the silent corner of her brain, she was cognizant of the fact tha

★★★ Towards the airport, the black car was travelling. Jessica, who was in the passenger seat, was unable to concentrate because she was troubled by a single thought: what would she do if Cornell were to suffer some sort of accident?!! She also doubted if she would continue to live in this world. “Jess, relax. He is fine and I am going to make sure that those people will get proper punishment for touching our Cornell,” Chris reassured Jessica as he caught glimpses of her face, but he was unable to tell if she had paid attention to him. Chris reached out and took Jessica's cold palm in his hand as his other hand held the steering wheel, driving as fast as possible. Jessica did not appear to feel his hands on hers because her emotional state was no longer present. The impatience in her eyes had reached the point where Cornell was the only light that could bring her back into her world. The next second, Chris lost control of his vehicle as their car was abruptly jerked by a hard colli

★★★ In a dark, deserted room, a man was bound with a chair. It was impossible to stand the vile smell there. On the other hand, the tortures he had gone through had caused his mouth to bleed. “What the fuck do you want from me?” the man yelled, moving on his seat but could not able to release his hands that were tired behind. The crowd moved away from him, and a man wearing a mask entered into his field of vision. The man approached the assassin who had attempted to kill Cornell in every way possible but was ultimately unsuccessful due to his bad day and asked, "Who gave you the money to kill the child which you failed to finish off in 65 Pink Lane?" “Are you his father?” After giving the mask man a long look, the assassin inquired. The killer reasoned in his head that if this man was the father, there would be no assistance with bargaining. “No,” the mask man said and lit the cigar in front of that killer and asked, “Will you bother to tell me the name of that person?” “You hav

★★★ Jessica changed into her yellow dress, which she had washed the night before and was now ready to wear. She took her phone and walked out of the guestroom. As she stepped down the stairs, she opened her call log to make a call to her home. “What are you doing here, Jess?” Jessica raised her head from her phone to the hallway, where Stefen could be seen, standing with his hands in his pockets. Jessica's heart sank as she noted Stefen had seen her at Liam's house and that he would undoubtedly inform her father of the incident. Lawrence family members were not going to treat this lightly, and there was an increasing likelihood that she would be kicked out of Lawrence Manor at this point. “I came here to see Liam about a work," Jessica descended the stairs and met Stefen’s stoic face. Jessica was able to deduce his source of rage. His sister had been betrayed by her and Liam, which no brother would take it with cool heart. “In his house??!! Have you just exited his bedroom?” Ste
