2026-09-25 21:59:45Elena Beaumont’s POV
My life has completely scrambled down right after that night.
“Elena!” My senior yelled at me. “Fix this before lunch. And check your email, I have sent the file you need to edit. Make them done by this night.”
I slumped at my chair. ‘Fuck, when is this gonna end?’ I sighed, glanced at my clock. 11 AM and I haven’t had my breakfast yet.
This is all because of my seniors, they suddenly pulled all their works on me. Right after that night.
I had perfect sleep yesterday, only to get scolded by the Team Manager for the mistake that didn’t even fault me.
‘It feels like that man has done the deed to torture me, in return for me kissing him like a psycho’ I mumbled, regretting my decision.
Why do I need to kiss him? Even for that asshole, Gabriel, I shouldn’t kiss anyone!
My head hurts. I looked at my table, which was already covered with piles of documents. I guess I’ll pull an all-nighter again.
“Elena! Elena—fuck! Fuck! You need to see this!”
“So noisy…”
I was typing on my keyboard. My body jumped at the loud voice coming from the next table. Daniella, she suddenly rushed over to me. She forced me to look at her phone.
“W-What—” I looked at the phone. My jaw dropped.
Daniella? As pale as me.
I had to snatched her phone to make sure I’m not hallucinating.
Two pictures. One news. Big headline on the screen behind the reporter who was in a live stream of Hot News:
[BREAKING NEWS!]
[JAKE HAROLD’S NEW AFFAIR]
[“We’re in his apartment now! All his exes have gathered together to get his clarification! His new affair seemed to be special! Jake himself told the reporters to blur her face!]
[Is this his final destination after breaking up with all his girlfriends!?]
The phone suddenly slipped from my hand.
“W-WHAT…” My mouth gaped. “WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?”
Daniela yelled, “H-Hey! Don’t break my phone!”
“FUCK!” I ruffled my hair. “WHY DIDN’T I THINK ABOUT THAT DAMN REPORTER!?”
“ARGHH!!”
Right. I was too cooped up with work that forgot about the reporter who took my picture that night!
The news spread too fast. They took my photo, right when I kissed Jake Harold at the company’s party, at the perfect angle to make a public opinion; ‘Jake Harold New Affair’.
Golden TV Station. The biggest TV channel in the country. Which means, I fucked my life.
My grandfather is really gonna kill me once he sees that news. I am already having a hard time finding a way to make him believe me if I told him Gabriel cheated on me.
He’s been obsessed with our marriage since his health worsened. Fuck! He is really gonna kick me out of the family!
“Elena! Where’re you going!?” Daniella panicked as she watched me grab my stuff and head out of the office room.
“I’m gonna see him,” I said, rushing, trying to find my car’s key.
Daniella seemed confused. “Him? You mean, Jake Harold? How? You don’t know his apartment,” she said.
“Gabriel knows,” I replied, rushed.
“I need to make him take down the news. If it’s him, he can do it.”
“How can you be so sure? I mean, you kissed him first—” Daniella closed her mouth the moment she saw my expression change. “Sorry.”
“It’s fine,” I said. “I just need to beg him.”
“Elena!” Right before I opened the door, Daniella grabbed my hand.
“You okay, though?” she asked, “I mean, you and Gabriel, and I know how’s your grandpa…”
I patted her hand, “Yeah, I’m fine. I just need to make sure my grandfather believes me.”
I headed out to the parking lot and drove as fast as possible.
My maps showed the location of Isabella-Emerald Corp.—if I want to see Gabriel, I’m sure he’s at his family’s company now.
The company building I used to see on TV suddenly looked completely different.
The moment my car arrived, a security guard stopped me. I had to argue with them until a flash from countless cameras struck my eyes.
For a moment, I couldn’t hear anything except the beating sound from my chest.
“Oh, God…”
My body froze behind the car’s glass.
The reporters were everywhere. They filled the entire entrance, parking lot, some of them even climbed the park’s edges to get a better view.
“Move! Move! You can’t go inside! The company is forced to close today!” The security guard screamed in a rush. I was so panicked that I parked my car in the wrong direction.
I quickly grabbed my bag and rushed out of the car. Then, one of the reporters spotted me right away.
“Ms. Beaumont?” A young reporter, holding a mic, suddenly turned her head to me.
The moment she recognized my face; the reporters’ crowds surrounded me.
“It’s her!”
“Excuse me! May we have a moment!?”
“Ms. Beaumont! We heard that you have an intimate relationship with President Harold, is it true!?”
“Are you his new partner!?”
“What about his other girlfriends!?”
“Please say something!”
In the blink of an eye, the reporters’ crowds that surrounded the company building now turned their cameras to me.
“Did you spend the night with President Harold!?” He thrust the microphone at me.
My eyes widened, unable to move my body. “What—no! That’s not true—”
“Then what about the kiss at the party!?”
They really didn’t give me room to explain.
I narrowed my eyes. The flashes from the camera didn’t stop pouring over me.
“Stop taking my pictures!” I raised my hand to cover myself.
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.
“Are you fucking deaf!?” I growled in anger. My voice was buried in those noises that no one heard me.
Every time I turned away, there’s always a reporter that blocked me with their cameras. They dared to yank my hand. I didn’t care. I grabbed the edge of my skirt and ran away.
I tried to reach my car when suddenly, a tall figure I didn’t expect to be standing in front of me suddenly appeared and made me bump into him.
“Miss Beaumont!”
“Ouch!”
My ankle twisted. A pair of strong arms instinctively caught me before I could hit the ground. My body landed against something firm, solid—a man’s body. We lost our balance and hit the ground, then—
My eyes widened as our lips brushed each other.
‘Oh, no.’
‘Please...’
‘No. no. no. no.’
Jake Harold.
And—
kiss.
In front of the reporters.

He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 49 - Terms and Conditions
Elena Beaumont’s POV“It was out of my league, but Jake Harold is—”“Are you done with everything here?”Friedrich almost dropped his case of white bubble gum the second Jake burst into the fertility room out of nowhere.“Ahem!” The young doctor quickly pretended to be busy with his white coat. “Yeah, sure. We’re all done,” Friedrich said, clearing his throat to sound calm after almost being caught red-handed talking to me in secret.“So, have you made a decision?” Friedrich stepped toward him. “We can only proceed with IVF once both partners sign off. Would you like me to give you two some privacy? Or—”“No. Just do it,” Jake snapped, cutting Friedrich off before he could even finish explaining.Those grey, slumped eyes met mine with a very stiff, unpleasant glance.Surrounded by another team of doctors, Doctor Friedrich occupied himself with the preparation of the IVF paperwork.Standing behind the other doctors, I could tell Friedrich was trying his best to steal a moment—or at lea
He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 48 - Save Yourself from a Monster
Elena Beaumont’s POV“IVF can also fail. I can’t give you a 100% guarantee, even if we’re using the best technology ever. While we are trying to find the best method for you both, why don’t you talk it over together? As husband and wife, I mean.” Friedrich removed his glasses, and gave his old friend a serious look.Of course, Jake could only lower his gaze. His brown eyes found the white marble floor so fascinating as though it held more interest than the doctor’s suggestions.“Alright.” Friedrich gave a sudden nod, before turning a warm smile toward me. “How about we start with a quick check-up, hm? Are you alright with that, ma’am?”I looked over at Jake, roaming through his eyes for reassurance. Once that man gave me a slight nod, I turned back and nodded to Doctor Friedrich.“Do you have any period problems, Ma’am? Any abdominal pain, perhaps?” Friedrich helped me lie on the hospital bed. He examined my belly using an ultrasound tool, after applying a cold gel all over my lower a
He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 47 - Child as a 'Token'
Elena Beaumont’s POV“Oh! Come in! I’ve been waiting for you!”A sweet, calming fragrance greeted my nose the moment the young doctor—with tousled blond hair, soft grey eyes, and a white coat—stepped forward to the door and offered us a handshake.“I almost dropped my phone when you told me you were already married!” Doctor Friedrich laughed lightly. Jake’s expression suddenly softened into a rare, warm smile as the two men exchanged a warm hug.I watched them silently for a brief moment. Seeing Jake smile with such warmth was so rare that I knew at first glance—they must have been close friends for years. College friends? Maybe?Does he also know about this woman named Jasmine?“Well, then. When a dear old friend who didn’t even invite me to his own wedding suddenly books an appointment with an OB-GYN, there’s really only one reason why! Okay, let’s hear it from you first, old friend,” Friedrich teased, giving me a wink. He gestured warmly toward the chairs across from his desk.“My
He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 46 - Priorities
Elena Beaumont’s POVAndreas raised an eyebrow at us. As that man with glasses flipped the documents, his green eyes occasionally glanced at our seats.“We have a business trip tomorrow,” he said, unlocking his tablet. “The assistant from Castrelle Company suggested dinner before the meeting. What time works best for you, Sir? Your schedule is completely open from afternoon through the evening.”“Cancel it,” he snapped, while the knife sliced into his steak.His assistant froze, blinking in confusion at the screen. “Pardon me?” he stammered, clearly startled by his boss’s sudden cut-off. “Could you clarify, Sir? When you say ‘cancel it,’ do you mean just the dinner, or the meeting as well?”“Both,” he shot back without hesitation. “I have an important engagement with Elena tomorrow. Clear my schedule until I’m free.”Andreas glanced at me through his thick glasses as he tried to read my mind telepathically, ‘Is he being serious? Or, is this just his way to torture me?’ He seemed to be
He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 45 - Sudden Touch
Elena Beaumont’s POVA wave of sudden heat surged up my face and pooled right into my ears. His hand—possessively clamped over my belly, reaching to the curve of my abdomen. Without a word, he drew my back softly against his chest, until there was no space left between us. Locking our chests together.My heart pumped against my ribs so hard I thought it would burst right away. I swallowed hard, a rock forming in my throat. Jake was acting completely out of character.The strict condition he had set for me still echoed loud and clear in my mind: ‘I don’t want any physical relationship in this marriage.’ It felt as fresh as yesterday morning.Yet, the heat of his touch was far too real for me to think that I was hallucinating.“Bring your assistant here. I have something for your wife.”“Alright, grandfather,” he replied, and with that, the line went off.He placed the phone on the table. My limbs were turning numb when his arm still locked me tight.Then, Jake let out a low chuckle.“W
He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 44 - Between Good and Evil
Elena Beaumont’s POV“…”I darted my stiff eyes to the flower vase next to me.Godrick was still talking on the phone, yet I couldn't help but feel uneasy because Jake kept staring at me. I hoped this was only my anxiety kicking in—but ever since Godrick had called me to his mansion that day, Jake seemed very interested in me.“Elena.”I jumped. Too caught up in my own mind, I had forgotten that the old man was still connected to me.“Yes, Grandfather?” I said, masking the tremor in my voice.“…”“Do you want this old man to scold your husband?”“E-eh?” My breath caught in that instant.“W-What do you mean, Grandfather?” I tried my best not to show my shock.“Your husband. Should I have a word with him?” he continued, sighing heavily over the line. “I’m his grandfather. I raised him like my own son. I know better than anyone how stubborn my grandson is. It must be hard for a young lady like you to deal with and live under the same roof with a stubborn man like him.”“I just want you t
