“Gavin, why are you here?” Lisa said, her tone laced with displeasure.

“Little cousin, why can’t I be here?” Gavin asked Lisa, his voice dripping with a mocking innocence. His eyes darted back to Jane as he said; “I was out of town during my dear cousin Leonard's engagement, so I promised myself not to miss the rehearsal dinner that’s why I’m here.”

From Lisa’s words, the Lockwood family of four finally knew the identity of Gavin, who came uninvited. It also seems like his relationship with Lisa was not that good.

“But no one invited you here, Gavin. I remembered Grandpa warning you not to ever come to any important gathering we are having after what you did last time. Stop being an asshole.” Lisa rolled her eyes at him, disgust written all over her face.

Gavin's smiling face was immediately replaced in anger. He didn’t like the way Lisa was talking to him. He doesn’t want Jane to know about his bad record with his family.

Gavin took a deep breath, his smile returning, but a

    Everyone's gaze shifted towards the speaker. Jane saw that the woman was sitting beside a man who slightly looked like Reginald, Leonard’s father. She guessed she was the man’s wife, and the man was likely to be Leonard’s uncle, the first son of Grandpa Edward. “Dad, Mom, you guys are here,” Gavin exclaimed as he walked towards his mother, giving her a peck on her right cheek. Gavin’s words answered Jane’s thought. The annoying woman was Gavin’s mom. She didn’t see her and her husband on the day of her engagement “Enough Helen. You don’t have the right to scold Leonard’s fiancée in public. We aren’t the only ones here.” Henry, Gavin’s father's eyes scanned the private room. All attention was on him and his family. He was someone who didn’t like being in the limelight, but his wife would always make him feel embarrassed. Trying to clear the awkward moment, Henry stood up from his chair, his hand stretched forward. “Hi Jane, I’m Leonard’s uncle, Dr. Henry. I’m sorry for missing yo

    As Jane walked to the washroom, the soft rustle of her dress echoed off the hallway. She glanced over her shoulder as she had this feeling that someone was trailing her, but couldn’t find anyone. She was the only one in the hallway. “I must be imagining things.” She whispered to herself, shaking her head as she entered the washroom.Meanwhile,in the private dining room where the rehearsal dinner is going on, Ivy’s eyes locked on Jane’s figure through the window. A sly smile spread across her face as she stood up, her chair scraping against the floor. “Grandpa, I would be right back. I want to go and touch up my makeup.” Ivy said coyly, trying to sound as sweet as possible.Grandpa Edward's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he nodded. “You this child,” Grandpa Edward said dotingly. “Why are you telling me this? Just go and do your thing.” He waved his hand, shooing her away.“Thanks Grandpa.” Ivy pecked Grandpa Edward cheek, just like she always does when she was a child, before

    On the big projector screen, a compromising photo of her with the mysterious man was displayed for everyone to see.“What an insolent. What’s the meaning of all this? Is this who your daughter is Jason?” Grandfather Edward shouted, his eyes brewing with anger.“Tch, didn’t I tell you to have a rethink for such a woman Dad?” Helen said, gloating at Jane’s misfortune. “Who knew how many men she had out there? This might just be one of them. What a shameless wretch.” Helen spat, her eyes filled with disgust towards Jane, who was standing in the doorway.Lucy, who was also shocked about the pictures that were on display, was the first to speak up for Jane. “Madam Helen, I would advise you to mind your language. This might just be a misunderstanding. Who knew this might be a setup from a malicious person who is jealous of Jane?” Lina said feeling sorry for Jane. She trusted Jane won’t do such a thing. Her eyes couldn’t help snapping towards Ivy, who was sitting in a relaxed manner, her li

    “What is impossible Ivy? Why are you panicking when you are not the one in the video?” Grandpa Walton asked in confusion. He trusted Ivy so much that he didn’t imagine she had anything to do with the earlier photos.“Turn it off, just turn it off,” Ivy was about to go crazy as the video continued. If it wasn’t turned off, her secret would be exposed. She doesn’t want to lose face in front of so many people.She swiftly moved toward the area where the projector was, but she was unable to find what she was searching for. All she heard was the gasp of the people in the room, as the video displayed where she took Jane’s pictures and left with a smudged look. Lucy, who was boiling with rage, couldn't take it anymore. She hurried towards Ivy and held her by her shoulder-length hair. “You b*tch, just like I suspected. You are the one behind all this. What a shameless person you are.” Lucy dragged Ivy with her hair all over the room, making her scream her lungs out in pain.Everyone was shoc

    A few minutes later, Grandpa Edward's heartbeat returned to normal, and the pain was no longer as excruciating as before, after taking his medication. Ivy, who is still upset, argues with Grandpa Edward immediately his condition gets better, not minding his health. “Grandpa, I didn’t do anything wrong. You can’t just send me out of the house because of an outsider.” Ivy said, her eyes red-rimmed from shedding some tears. “Since you know that, apologize to Jane immediately. And I don’t ever want to hear you call Jane an outsider. She is family.” Grandpa Edward said, his face slightly pale, but his words were firm. “Fine, since you are not supporting me anymore, I will leave.” Ivy’s face contorted in anger as she said this. “Had you not promised me when I was young that Leonard was mine, I wouldn’t be so obsessed with him till now. I hate you, Grandpa!” Ivy exclaimed and stormed out of the room, her face filled with tears. Gavin followed behind her, not caring what others might s

    New York 10:00pm “Ouch,” Jane, who stood in front of the vanity in her room, winced in pain. Her eyes welled up in tears as she dabbed cotton swabs on her swollen cheek. She bit her lips to hold back her whimper. Her hand trembled slightly as she hissed through gritted teeth as the swab made contact with her tender cheek skin. The warm glow of the table lamp on her vanity cast a warm glow on her soft and delicate body. As she studied her reflection in the mirror, she noticed the faint bruise that had formed on her tender cheek skin. Her thought couldn’t help drifting back to Helen’s ruthless slap, as her mind replayed the scene continuously. A spark of anger ignited within her as she felt the surge of revenge brewing in her heart. She was done with letting others bully her. From today onwards, she was done with being a victim of bullying. Just then, her phone rang, it’s loud ringtone shattering the peaceful silence in the room, interrupting her thought. Jane couldn’t help feeli

Taking his gaze back to the beautiful woman on the screen, his frown immediately vanished as he smiled lovingly at Jane, whose despite her bruised cheek, her beauty still shone through. Leonard’s heart couldn’t help swelling with affection. “Everything is okay. I just don’t like getting my attention divided whenever I’m with you.” Leonard whined, surprising assistant Rachel, whose face was filled with her professional smile as she entered. She would never have thought that in her life, she would be able to see her cold and ruthless boss whining like a baby. She couldn’t help giving Jane a thumbs-up for securing the devil’s heart. Though they haven’t met themselves yet, her respect for Jane was getting higher and higher everyday. Jane’s green jade eyes couldn’t help sparkling with amusement, hearing the sweet words Leonard said. She could

His eyes were filled with concern for her.“Cupcake, are you alright?” Aaron moves forward to check Jane’s body whether she was injured or not.“I’m fine. Why are you here?” Jane’s eyes were filled with suspicions. After her wedding with Leonard, this would be the first time she would be seeing Aaron. With her investigation from Leonard, she was told that Aaron had left the country the day they wedded. She was surprised to see him here.“Ouch, cupcake, is this your attitude to someone who just saved you.

    “Hmm,” Jane groaned in pain as she lifted her upper body up from the bed. Her waist felt like it was broken. Her whole body didn’t feel like it was hers. She hissed in pain as she held the bed headboard to stabilize herself.“Leonard, you are so cruel!” Jane cursed as her legs wobbled under her. She fell back on the bed the moment her legs made contact with the floor. Her gaze shifted to the bedside clock to see that it was half past five in the evening.Her eyes widened in shock after realizing she had slept throughout the day. Her face was tinted red as she remembered all that happened last night. Her voice was hoarse from Leonard’s hours of torture. It was all that beast-like man’s fault, who didn’t stop torturing her until she passed out.After Leonard carried her to their bedroom, he harshly dropped her on the bed, and took off the towel covering her wet body, which had already turned red from staying too long inside the cold bathtub.

He wanted to push him away and retaliate, but Leonard didn’t give him the chance.Jane rushed out of the car immediately after she got back her strength. She circled the car and ran towards Leonard. Although she enjoyed how Leonard was teaching Teddy a lesson, she couldn’t stand and watch Leonard kill someone.“Leonard, that’s enough!” Jane yelled at the top of her voice, but it seems like Leonard didn’t hear her at all. He continued his assault on Teddy, whose face was already swollen, with blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.As Jane saw that Leonard wasn’t ready to listen to her, she stepped forward and held his fist which was raised in the air to punch Teddy. “Leonard, that’s okay. You can’t continue hitting him like that.” Jane shook her head at Leonard when she realised that she had his attention. Leonard shut his eyes, trying to control the anger that was still brewing inside of him.“Are you feeling sorry for him

    On the highway.“Hmm,” Jane squinted her eyes as she moaned in pain due to how uncomfortable she was feeling. She didn’t know where she was as her brain was yet to register what’s going on.“Dear ex-wife, you are awake.” Teddy voices out behind the wheels immediately he hears Jane’s painful moan. It was then it dawned on Jane that she had been kidnapped. She didn’t know what happened to her earlier that made her lose consciousness. She also noticed that she was in a moving car.

She noticed the car was going downtown, almost making its way out of Manhattan.“Teddy, where the hell are you taking me?” Jane said calmly, not wanting to give her abductor the impression of being scared.

It was like she had disappeared from the surface of the earth. Just when she was about to pull out her phone to inform Leonard what just happened, James pulled over in front of her.“Where is Mrs. Bank? Is she still inside?” James asked as he walked up to Lily, whose body was shaking with dread. “I don’t know where she is. She was waiting for you as always. I just went inside to get something, but I couldn't find her. I only saw this bag laying on the floor. I think she might have been kid
