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

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

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

“Say that again?” Jace asked Kyle. They had just finished meeting with the marketing department and were left behind in the conference room.“ACEGame wants us to submit our detailed proposal,” Kyle repeated. “Are you kidding me? Aren’t we supposed to meet their boss so we will be able to explain the details further?” “They told me that their boss would be very busy this month, so they canceled the meeting. They promise to look into our proposal and study it, and then they will get back to us.”“What if they reject it? How will we explain the project to them if they base their decision only on the proposal? How will we answer their question if they will not meet us?” Jace asked continuously. He wanted collaboration very much but didn’t know why.“Then we get another meeting. They said their boss will be very busy this month, which I understand since he just arrived.”“Don’t you see it, Kyle? They didn’t want to work with us!” Jace exclaimed. “Asked for another meeting. Tell them that

“This is not happening again! How many times do we need to face this, Dad?” Emerose exclaimed. She was angry that their business was facing bankruptcy once again. For three years, Emerson had been struggling to manage their business. The investment that Jace made went to waste since the Morgan patriarch failed to stop his family from spending too much. “I’ve tried so hard to maintain this business, Emerose. I warned you and your mother not to spend beyond our means, yet you didn’t follow. So don’t blame me if we’re down the drain again.”“Are you blaming us? As the head of this family, you are responsible for providing us with our needs,” Merly replied angrily. She hated that her husband was pointing fingers at her and their daughter.“Find another investor, Dad. Or better yet, talk to Jace again. He might want to marry me this time since he was separated from Emerald.” Emerose suggested. Old Morgan looked at her intently while thinking. After a while, he smiled and nodded his head.
