Jillian stayed at Lora’s house.

It was better that way so Julia couldn’t easily get in.

"I don't know what Sake is thinking. But this has got to stop," said Lora as she cleaned Jillian’s wounds. "He cannot keep the both of you. He needs to choose."

"Ma, Sake and Julia are in a relationship. He already chose her."

"I still don’t understand where I went wrong in teaching my son how to judge people properly," Lora said, visibly stressed.

"They love each other. That should be enough to make your son happy. Julia may not be perfect, but she loves Sake."

"I’m still hoping that Sake will change his mind."

"By the way, Mama, I’m going back to the province tomorrow." Lora looked at her, so she continued. "Shawn and I left in a rush. I need to go back to take care of the things we left behind. My boss has also been calling and asking if I’m still coming back to work. Don’t worry, I’m not bringing Shawn with me."

"You’ll be back right away, won’t you?"

    Jillian stayed at Lora’s house.It was better that way so Julia couldn’t easily get in."I don't know what Sake is thinking. But this has got to stop," said Lora as she cleaned Jillian’s wounds. "He cannot keep the both of you. He needs to choose." "Ma, Sake and Julia are in a relationship.

    Jillian thought she didn’t need to be taken to the hospital.But it turned out a few of her wounds needed stitching—deep cuts from shattered glass during her scuffle with Julia.It was childish, and Jillian wasn’t proud of hurting her sister. She had been carried away by her emotions. Although what happened to her was worse. Julia's most serious injury was a cut on her arm—which she herself had inflicted."How's Julia?" she asked Victoria, who had come to visit her in her hospital room. They would be spending the night there. Her sister was in the next room with Valeria and Sake."Being dramatic," her aunt answered plainly."How could you say that? She’s hurt too.""I know. But I know your sister, Jillian. She takes after your mother. They’ll do anything for themselves—even if it means hurting others." Victoria took her hand. "I assure you, while you're here worried about her, she's busy poisoning Sake’s mind against you."Jillian gave a bitter smile. Julia didn’t have to do that. If

    “So it’s true! Sake didn’t sell this house!”Jillian froze at the sound of her twin sister’s voice. She quickly rushed to the living room and saw Julia storming in, followed by Yaya Pasing, who seemed to be trying to stop her.“Julia!”“You really are a slut!” Julia spat. “How could you do this to me, Jillian?!”“It was Sake who brought us here without my consent,” Jillian defended herself. “I’m not a slut, Julia!”“That’s what all homewreckers say!” Julia sneered. “Pretending to be saints!”“Homewrecker? You and Sake aren’t even married. And I am not a homewrecker! For the last time, I’m here because of Sake! So why don’t you talk to him? Confront him! In fact, you’d be doing me a favor if he kicked us out!”“Really?” Julia said mockingly. “If you truly don’t want to stay here, then leave now. I’ll fix this with Sake. Prove to me you’re not after my boyfriend!”“I’d love to. But Sake is out with my child. If you want, let’s wait for them so you can personally ask him to kick us out.”

    "If you're really going to marry Julia, I'm telling you now, Sake—I will never agree to let my son live with you," she declared firmly. Better to lay it all out now so he wouldn’t even think of trying. "I will fight for my rights to Shawn, even if it takes us to hell and back, Sake!""What are you talking about?" Sake frowned deeply."I'm the only one who has the right to Shawn’s custody. No one, not even you, has the right to take my child from me. I swear it!" she said defiantly."Who's trying to take Shawn away from you?""Isn’t that your plan? To take my son away? Don’t you even feel guilty? Shawn is only three years old! He shouldn’t be separated from his mother. He needs me. And besides, I can raise him on my own. You don’t get to say I’m poor and you’re rich—I can give my son a good life. I’ll do everything for him. I won’t let you take him from me and hand him over to Julia to play stepmom!""What are you even saying?""I’m right, aren’t I? You’re going to take Shawn away?" He

    “Freshen up, Jillian. I’ll watch over Shawn for now,” Lora said when she saw her still crying.Jillian didn’t argue. She complied if only to avoid more questions. She was exhausted.The warm water from the shower helped, even just a little. She stayed under the steady stream for several minutes, letting it calm her. Inside, her mind was already racing—trying to figure out how she could get away from Sake and Julia again.Should she ask Lora for help? But most likely, she wouldn’t want to be separated from her grandson.She could leave on her own, but she could never bear to leave Shawn behind. She loved her son deeply, and there was no way she would ever sacrifice him—not even to place him in the care of his father.She had raised Shawn on her own once. She could do it again.After her bath, Jillian slipped into a robe. She planned to send Lora back to her room so she could get some rest too."Can we talk?"Jillian nearly jumped. Sake was standing right outside the bathroom door, wait

    She cried hard and ran away from Sake, despite him calling after her. Her lips throbbed, tender and bruised, the metallic taste of blood still lingering on her tongue. Sake had kissed her like a punishment—fierce, unrelenting, and void of any tenderness.Jillian’s heart was in shambles. Sake had stripped her of every ounce of worth—denying her his trust, his respect, and worst of all, his love.That kiss… cruel and cold, felt like something meant to be forgotten, not cherished. Instead, it etched itself into her like a scar, dragging her self-worth to its lowest point.It was a mistake to come to the party.Why did she let herself be persuaded so easily?‘Next time, stand by your decision, Jillian!’ she scolded herself while making her way back into the hall.As soon as she returned, she searched for Shawn. She was ready to go home. She had had enough. She was hurt enough. She couldn’t bear another second of it.“Jillian, where have you been?” Lora asked worriedly, cradling Shawn in

    The celebration was held at a five-star hotel. The venue was already bustling with elegantly dressed employees. Members of the board, along with their families, were seated at their assigned tables.As expected, when the Chairman arrived, they were given a warm and respectful welcome. However, curious glances shifted immediately to Jillian and Shawn. She felt self-conscious under their stares, but Lora beamed with pride as if she were showing off a crown jewel.They went straight to their assigned seats since, according to the event organizer who whispered to Lora, the Chief Executive Officer had not arrived yet."As always," Lora said, rolling her eyes. Apparently, it was typical for Sake to be late whenever he was with Julia. “He’s coming, don’t worry,” she added, turning to Jillian.“I’m not worried, Mama,” she replied quietly, though in truth, her heart pounded. It wasn’t worry she felt—it was nervous anticipation. She was bracing herself for another confrontation with her sister.

    She forgave Sake—not because she believed he had wronged her, but for his own peace of mind. She wanted him to forgive himself.She didn’t know if he had forgiven her deception, but that was okay. She wouldn't ask him for more than what he could give at the moment.“Ba-bye, Daddy!” Shawn was hugging his father's leg while waving goodbye. “Can I come with you?”Jillian chuckled. Their son looked just like a little koala, clinging to Sake like he never wanted to let go. Even Sake laughed heartily, as if suddenly having second thoughts about leaving for work.“Sweetheart, Daddy has to go to work,” she said as Sake scooped the boy into his arms. She noticed the way his eyes were smiling at her—gentle, warm, like the man she used to know.“Why, Daddy? You’re already rich!”“I need to make sure we have even more money,” Sake said with a playful grin, “so you can go to college someday.”“Where is college? Do we need to ride an airplane to get there?” Shawn asked, wide-eyed with curiosity.Ji

    The next morning, Sake left early. He said he had to return to work. And just to be sure she wouldn’t run off with Shawn, he sent Nanny Pasing over.“What a handsome boy! He looks just like a little Sake!” the old woman gushed, clearly delighted with Shawn. “Didn’t I say so? Your child turned out to be so incredibly good-looking.”“Thank you, nanny,” Jillian replied with a small smile. “Shawn, what do you say to nanny?”“Thank you, nanny,” the child replied politely, earning an affectionate squeal from Pasing.“Very good! Now, let me tell you something,” Jillian said, kneeling to meet her son’s eyes. “Nanny took care of your daddy when he was just a little boy. I want you to always respect her, okay? No being naughty.”“I promise, mommy!”She ruffled his hair lovingly.Sake’s house was huge. She and Shawn could play hide and seek all day and still not run out of places to hide.Not much had changed since she’d last been there—except for the kiddie room. In fact, the large portrait of
