Stefani and Jacob strolled through the city, killing time with a bit of shopping before their evening meeting. Passersby couldn't help but glance their way, captivated not only by Jacob's presence but also by Stefani's.Upon realizing the attention, Jacob swiftly pulled Stefani and wrapped his arm around her waist, shooting a cold look at the onlookers. As soon as they caught his gaze, they averted their eyes and hurried off as if nothing had happened.Stefani, engrossed in her phone, was taken aback by Jacob's sudden move. She didn’t notice the other people because she was busy scrolling through a post, reading it, and finally connected the dots, realizing what happening was all part of Shaira's plan.[Shaira Miller, a successful businesswoman in the corporate world, is working on a new project. She is currently in Indonesia, where she is in the process of negotiating a long-term proposal with large companies.]‘I knew it! This woman is really clever!’ She thought in herself. Despite
Jacob and Stefani spent the entire day exploring various tourist attractions. They had a great time until it was time for the meeting. "I'll drop you off at the hotel first so you can rest," Jacob said, holding the shopping bags they had accumulated throughout the day. "Okay," Stefani replied, feeling a bit disappointed. As she got into the car, she couldn't help but sulk. She didn't like the idea of Jacob and Shaira being in the same space or room, even though she knew there would be someone else with them. It made her feel anxious and a little angry. Throughout the entire journey, Jacob observed Stefani's changing mood. When they arrived back in front of the hotel, Stefani didn't move from her seat. Instead, she turned her head towards the window, gazing at the city lights and the bustling crowd. "Let's go. I'll take you to your room," Jacob suggested, preparing to unbuckle his seatbelt. "No," Stefani responded firmly, leaving Jacob confused. "You said you were tired. We're ba
Jacob gazed at Stefani's face, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "What?" he asked, still taken aback.Stefani's smile widened as she repeated herself. "Mango. I want mango."Jacob walked over to the bed, gently pulling Stefani onto his lap as he spoke softly. "Honey, it's late. There are no stores or sellers available at this hour.""How can you be so sure if you haven't even looked outside yet!" Stefani responded irritably, pointing towards the balcony. "Just look, there are still plenty of people out there."Jacob began to explain, "Just because there are people doesn't necessarily mean—"Before he could finish his sentence, Stefani's eyes welled up with tears and they streamed down her cheeks. Panic filled Jacob's eyes as they widened. "Shh! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, please don't cry. I'll go outside and find mangoes for you, alright?"He gently wiped away Stefani's tears and held her close, planting a kiss on her cheek. "Okay, just wait for me and I'll go find them for you."Jac
Jacob gazed at Stefani, who was devouring the mango he had purchased, without pause. A smile graced his lips as he admired her. When Stefani noticed his gaze, annoyance washed over her."Why are you staring at me like that? It's so creepy!" she blurted out without thinking.Jacob's mouth dropped open in response to her words, but she paid no attention and continued eating. Jacob hoped she would retract her statement, but she simply ignored him as if he were invisible."Hey..." he called out softly."What?" she responded, annoyance evident in her tone. When she realized the mangoes were already gone, she looked at him coldly. "Look! The mangoes are gone because of you!""What? Why are you blaming me?" Jacob was completely taken aback. "I... I didn't even touch them because I bought them just for you."Stefani glanced at him indifferently, washed her hands, and didn't bother replying. She simply returned to bed. However, before closing her eyes, she turned to him and glared. "Don't slee
Jacob hurriedly made his way towards Liam, eager to get hold of the car key."Allow me to drive, sir," Liam offered, ready to head towards the vehicle."No, accompany Mister Sy here," Jacob replied firmly, snatching the key from Liam's grasp.Shaira, noticing Jacob's haste, rose from her seat and approached him with a warm smile. "You seem to be in quite a hurry. Perhaps you should stay a little longer."Jacob cast a cold gaze at her, remaining silent. Undeterred, he continued towards the car, with Shaira following closely behind. Just as he was about to open the car door, she reached out and grabbed his hand.In response, he forcefully pushed her away, his eyes filled with anger."What do you want from me, Shaira? Can't you see I'm in a rush?!" Jacob growled, attempting to open the door once more.However, Shaira persisted, embracing him from behind and burying her face in his back as tears streamed down her face. "I love you, Jacob. I always have, and I still do. Please, come back t
On a scorching hot day, everyone was enjoying themselves at the beach while Stefani quietly observed from afar. She wanted to swim and dive in to cool off, but even just standing up made her dizzy. She let out a deep sigh and glanced at Jacob. "I told you, you can go swimming. I'll just watch you and enjoy." She felt guilty that Jacob couldn't swim and have fun because he was watching over her. Jacob looked at her and smiled, gently rubbing her stomach. "I don't want to swim. I only invited you here because I knew you would enjoy the beach, and since you can't swim, I'd rather just keep an eye on you." Stefani looked at Jacob's hand massaging her stomach and couldn't help but close her eyes, feeling the comfort wash over her. Unbeknownst to her, she fell asleep and just woke up in bed. As she looked around, she realized it was already night. When she tried to find Jacob with her eyes, she couldn't locate him. She slowly stood up, about to go out and look for him, but her eyes were
Stefani's jaw dropped in awe as she stood in front of the magnificent church. The beauty captured in the photograph was nothing compared to the breathtaking sight before her eyes now. It was a grand church that required climbing up a flight of stairs before reaching the entrance, adding to its elegance. She couldn't help but imagine how wonderful it would have been if she and Jacob had gotten married here, creating even more beautiful memories in her mind. Jacob took her hand and helped her walk towards the stairs, ready to enter the church. As they walked, a smile never left Stefani's face, and she couldn't resist speaking her thoughts. "If we get married again, I want to be married in this church." Jacob paused in his steps, turning his full attention to Stefani before smiling. "We can get married today if you want." Stefani's eyes widened in disbelief, unsure if Jacob was joking or being serious, but she knew that Jacob could actually make his words come true, so she chuckled s
Jacob checked his pocket again to make sure that his phone was really not there. For the second time, he swallowed hard and marched back to the car, but before he could reach it, he was stopped in his tracks by Shaira."Jacob!" Shaira called out with a smile. "Are you waiting for me?"It seemed like Jacob's whole being froze in fear as he quickly looked around, afraid someone would see them.When he realized that everyone around him was a foreigner, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned his gaze to Shaira."I have just arrived. You can go inside first, I just need to go back to my car and you can wait for me inside. I don't want to prolong this and I want it to be over soon," he said directly and seriously.Shaira only smirked and didn't pay attention to him, instead, she wrapped her hand around his arm and dragged him along. Jacob couldn't react immediately due to shock. He only reacted when they were already inside the restaurant.He quickly removed Shaira's hand and looked at
