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
Jacob stared at the phone in his hand and momentarily blanked out. He was stunned and seemed unable to process what Liam had just said. After a few seconds passed, the words finally registered in his mind. "What do you mean...?" Jacob asked calmly. "Why would she leave without a reason if you're saying she left before the picture issue between Shaira and me came out?" Liam was speechless because he didn't know either, but as he thought, his eyes landed on the phone Jacob was holding. Jacob, too, shifted his attention there. As they both realized what was happening, Jacob quickly unlocked his phone and his hand went cold as he swiped through it, revealing his conversation with Shaira. It was an unknown number, but it wasn't hard to guess who he was talking to. He tightly gripped his phone, his knuckles turning white. He remained silent as he quickly returned to his room to retrieve his important belongings. Upon stepping out, he immediately instructed Liam to prepare the jet th
Jacob was taken aback by what he heard from Stefani. His heart ached slightly and his hands grew cold momentarily.After a minute, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Please, let me explain. This is all a misunderstanding.""A misunderstanding?" Stefani repeated incredulously. "I saw and read everything I needed to. So, you don't need to explain anymore. Just leave."Jacob didn't know where to begin with his explanation. He was afraid that one wrong word could completely shatter Stefani's trust."Please, listen to me. It's not what you think. There's a reason why—"Jacob stopped speaking as the door opened and Stefani appeared. Her eyes were swollen, red, as if she was about to cry again. Jacob was momentarily stunned before he regained his composure.He tried to approach Stefani, but she quickly moved away. He attempted to hold her hand, but she swiftly dodged his touch."Don't touch me!" Stefani said firmly, glaring at Jacob. "You should have told me earlier so we wouldn't have
Summer entered Stefani's room and saw her awake. Stefani was standing on the terrace, watching the plants that she hadn't seen for a long time since she got married to Jacob.She noticed Summer entering but didn't look back. She remained silent until Summer approached her."The weather is nice. It's great to take a walk outside," Summer randomly said and stood next to Stefani. She smiled and took a deep breath of the breeze before speaking without looking at Stefani. "But it's even better to appreciate this view when your mind is at peace and you're with someone you love."Stefani still didn't speak but she felt where her mommy was heading with the topic. She remained quiet before Summer continued, "Sometimes, it's better to share the heaviness you feel rather than keep it inside. The weight may not go away but somehow, your heart will feel lighter."A strong wind blew, tousling Stefani's hair and in an instant, tears welled up in her eyes. "I grew up never feeling insecure because yo
Stefani's heart seemed to ache when she saw Jacob's tears flowing continuously. She panicked and felt confused about what to do next. Unable to bear it any longer, she quickly approached Jacob and held his face. "D-Don't cry. Why are you crying? Stop it! You're making me nervous!" She didn't know whether to lower her hand from his face, leave, or just wait for him to stop crying. As she was about to lower her hand, she was surprised when he suddenly grabbed it and placed it back on his face. He leaned his face on it and closed his eyes while warm tears continued to fall from his eyes. "I'm scared..." he mumbled. "I'm so scared because I know you can make those words happen with just one word from you. And I don't want that to happen... I love you and this love I have for you is making me madly insane." Stefani's heart softened at the simple words he uttered. She couldn't help but feel pain for his tears. She didn't speak while he continued, "Tell me what I lack. Tell me what I n
Summer’s Point of ViewI married the youngest handsome rich guy like I've ever dreamed of.It was our third year anniversary and yet this was the gift he gave me. A divorce paper.I used to think that my life would be complete when he would choose to stay with me, but I was wrong. Those three years “together” felt hollow, as our relationship could not be considered a genuine marriage, since he never gave us the opportunity to build a family together.Why did he marry me again? Oh, I already had forgotten.He is rarely in my presence. Most of the time, I only hear about him on the TV news.[Breaking News! Steven Carter was spotted having dinner with Amby Black, a famous model and actress at a VIP Premium restaurant. It was widely believed that the two of them had had an intimate connection since childhood. Could this possibly be a suggestion that the feelings we believed had been extinguished will be reignited?]The news I heard didn't seem to register in my mind.In the darkness of my
