Since their wedding night, Jack had been probing Isabella for information, but she had remained tight-lipped, adhering to Victor’s script. Since Jack couldn't get the information he wanted from Isabella, he started to show her the true nature of their marriage– a marriage devoid of love and affection.

    “Why? Who is scaring you?” Robert said in a rough, low voice. “No one, Robert, I just can't imagine ruining my son’s wedding. Jack will be devastated if he finds out his bride is missing.” Grace said, her chest racing with anxiety. A horrible laugh escaped Robert’s lips, annoying Grace, but she kept her cool. “But you said you don't want your son to marry her. Just tell me who got you scooped,” he pressed. “Oh my goodness,” Grace whispered, obviously exhausted. She took in a deep breath, her voice firm. “We have less than thirty minutes to start the wedding program. Get Isabella to the wedding venue unharmed and call me back. That's an order.” With that, she ended the call. As she waited for Robert’s call, her anxiety grew. She paced up and down, her heart pounding heavily in her chest. Her eyes couldn't stop darting to her phone, willing Robert to call on time. After what felt like eternity, Robert finally called to report that Isabella had been returned to the wedding venue sa

    It was the wedding day, Grace woke up sluggish and angry, still simmering from the previous night’s arguments with Victor over Jade’s revelation of Isabella being a waitress. Victor had vehemently denied it and since then Grace hadn't spoken to him until that morning. Victor, wanting to avoid anything that would make his family the headline of the news, decided to apologize before they left for the wedding venue. He approached her calmly, his expression cool. “Hurry up and kindly excuse us,” Victor said softly to the makeup artist, who had just finished adding the final touches to Grace's look and was packing up her kit. She hastened up and quickly left. “I’m sorry Grace,” Victor said, his gaze piercing hers. “I want you to understand that the girl Jade showed you is just Isabella’s lookalike, it's not Isabella. Isabella is a child born with a silver spoon; she would never work as a waitress,” he said.Grace ignored him, her focus was on her jewelry box, selecting the perfect jewe

    In Anthony’s houseVictoria stood before the mirror, applying makeup as she prepared to go to a party with her friends. Anthony sat on the bed, shaking his head angrily as he watched her. Once she was done with the makeup, she grabbed her handbag, ready to leave. Anthony stood up and immediately grasped her wrist. “What is it?” Victoria said sharply, her eyes flashing with annoyance.“Are you really a mother?” Anthony said, his voice filled with pain and anger, his grip tightening around her wrist. Victoria hissed and snatched her wrist free from his grip. “Zoe is still very young; she will find someone else who will love her. I’m not going to allow her to marry Jack Mason.” Anthony's gaze pierced deeply into her eyes, his voice cracking with emotions. “But why? What's wrong with Jack?”“Nothing, I just don't like that boy.” Victoria replied sharply, her gaze drifting away from Anthony's. “Then why didn't you stop them earlier?” Anthony said, his anger boiling over. “You watched

    “Mr. Lawrence Brooks, I'd like to know more about your business.” Grace asked, her eyes fixed on him as the maids began to clear up their table. Mr. Lawrence cleared his throat, his eyes flickered with a hint of fear. “I have many companies, tech companies, oil and gas companies, beverages companies…and many more, but they are all based in neighboring countries. I'm a business man with diverse interests and I also prefer to maintain a low profile.” His voice was soft but filled with tension. Mrs Olivia chimed in, trying to hide her husband's tension. “We prefer to focus on our businesses rather than seeking public attention or fame,” she said with a wide smile.“I see…well…I’d love to know the names of your companies, maybe we could explore potential partnership,” Grace said, her gaze lingered on Mr. Lawrence, who felt a bead of sweat forming on his palms.“Grace, we’ll talk about partnership or whatever later,” Victor interjected, saving Mr. Lawrence from further questioning.Grace

    Victor Mason's house was bustling with activities as staff members ran up and down, attending to their duties. In the kitchen, the chefs were busy preparing an array of delicacies. Grace and Jade stood nearby, their faces etched with unhappiness as they gently gave instructions to the maids. Grace had no choice than to obey her husband. Her heart felt a little lighter after Jack assured her that he would be fine in his future marriage. Isabella would be meeting the family that day; the wedding was just three days away. Initially Victor had wanted her to meet the family on the wedding day, but Grace had requested otherwise.
