"What kind of business partners would eat each other's lips hungrily?" --- Jessica thought her life was perfect. She thought she had a perfect husband. Good looking, good career, and good in bed, too. Until one day, her perception changed completely when she saw her husband kissing someone else. As if that wasn't bad enough, the person her husband was kissing was a man. She was hurt and disappointed, and she wanted to end things with her husband. Unfortunately, her husband was not only a philanderer but also a master blackmailer. No one knew what sins she committed in the past, but how she was forced to stay with her husband after everything that happened was like a punishment. Her life seemed to be in the grip of her husband, but who would have thought that she was slowly being strangled by a thread with one end held by her husband and the other end held by her husband's boyfriend? One slowly pulled the thread, and the other was reluctant to let go. Jessica was trapped by a thread that, slowly but surely, turned tangled. Unexpected pregnancy, unexpected deceptions, and no one would be able to guess the ending of this story. Would she be able to escape from the entanglement of the thread? Or maybe she would be trapped forever?
View MoreUnfortunately, the person she wanted to avoid the most was the person who silently followed her when she went down from the rooftop to the ground floor. Even when she was in the elevator, the person acted as her shadow as he stood behind her without saying anything. Jessica also chose to see the person as her shadow and pretended not to see him. Unfortunately, once again she had to meet another person she most wanted to avoid when she finally came out of the hotel and stood in front of the hotel lobby. Originally, she planned to call a taxi and go home quietly, but a familiar black car had just stopped in front of the lobby, and a familiar man had just gotten out of the car. “Why are you here, Noh?” It wasn't Jessica who asked that question, but the question came from Tyler who was standing next to her when they were in front of the hotel lobby. Indeed, it was Noah who had just gotten out of the black sedan and was standing in front of the two people wh
Jessica wouldn't sit still this time. Today, since it was announced that there would be a party tonight, she was forced to just listen and not complain at all. There was no room for opinions, and that was why she ended up joining the party even though she didn't want to. When Karl started his crazy game, she also had no choice but to join in. However, when Karl even dared to cross the thick line that she had drawn, she couldn't take everything and began to show her strong disapproval. “Calm down, Jess!” Karl tried to calm her down. “This is just a game, and I have no bad intentions. Your husband isn't here, and Tyler is your husband's best friend, right? Your husband's best friend should be your best friend too, so it's okay to kiss him because it's just a challenge. Your husband will not scold you.” “Just because my husband isn't here, so it's okay if I cheat?” Jessica once again questioned her boss in an increased tone, showing that she was even more
Jessica cursed her luck tonight. She half-heartedly followed the crazy game initiated by her boss, and she didn't expect to be played by her boss like this. In the first round of the game, she could breathe a sigh of relief because the ugly, bloody head did not suddenly pop out of the ball when the ball was in her hands. Instead, the bloody head only appeared when the ball was in Lisa's hands. She looked calm even though her other colleagues felt sorry for the curly-haired girl, but now she was the one who felt pity from her colleagues after hearing how Karl casually asked her to make a choice. The pink ball was still in her hand, and Jessica silently cursed at it before she took a deep breath and raised her gaze so that she was looking at Karl. “Can you skip me, Karl? You still remember how I fainted a week ago, right? I'm still sick right now, and I might pass out again if you keep forcing me to do something I don't want to,” she tried to trick her boss in orde
It was Lisa that ‘the ghost’ chose on the first round of the game, and Karl laughed in amusement as he asked the girl, “So, what will you choose, Miss Tomminson? Dare, drink, or dance?” There must be a trap in every choice Karl made, and that was why Lisa didn't make a decision straight away. Instead, she asked, “Who will give me a dare if I choose it, sir? And what drink will I get? If I choose to dance, can I dance randomly?” “Ah, I did forget to explain further about the available options,” Karl nodded his head several times while admitting his mistake, but then continued, “I am the creator of the game, and I am also the boss here, so it is I who give you a dare if you choose it. For drinks, of course, I will give the most famous here, namely The White Zombie. Lastly, regarding dancing, you are required to do a funny dance, and you must not stop until everyone here laughs.” "..." Lisa seemed silent after receiving an explanation from her superior, bu
Following Karl's orders, everyone gathered in a circle in front of the stage in the outdoor area of the rooftop bar. There were around thirty people there, and although they were actually from different backgrounds, they blended as they formed a circle in front of the stage. Jessica was one of the people gathered there. Standing to her left was Tammy, while to her right was Matt. She didn't even know why she ended up standing side by side with the superstar, but she assumed it was better than Tyler standing next to her. Yes, she managed to avoid Tyler this time, and her blue eyes could see how the raven-haired man was standing across from her in the circle, and she could also see how he was watching her the whole time. She could only turn away from that man in the end. "Everyone has gathered here, right?” Karl finally spoke again. He was also standing in a circle, and he was actually standing not far from Jessica—only four people separated them, includi
The reason why Jessica suddenly looked surprised was because several girls from her company suddenly squealed with joy after seeing someone coming. It was none other than Matt Habrew who had just arrived at the rooftop, and he was immediately welcomed by those enthusiastic young women. Just like when Jessica last saw the man more than a month ago, the man's hair was still gray. It was almost autumn, but the man confidently appeared in a black tank top combined with black cargo pants tonight, as if daring to brave the strong wind on the rooftop. He was like the only star on the cloudy night when he finally appeared on the rooftop. His presence completely changed the atmosphere, and everyone couldn't even take their eyes off his figure. Even Jessica kept looking at the man, but maybe the reason wasn't the same as the fangirls. Tyler even frowned in displeasure when he found out that he was being ignored by the woman who was currently eyeing another man.
“Uh, I think I should find another table,” Tammy was the one who broke the silence because neither Jessica nor Tyler had said anything since Tyler arrived at their table. Tyler just stood there looking at the blonde woman, but his lips remained in a thin line instead of opening and saying anything to her. Awkward was the only word that could be used to describe the atmosphere, and Tammy probably couldn't take it anymore. "No," Jessica answered firmly without looking at her. Her blue eyes were fixed on the man as she continued, “Just keep sitting there and don't move anywhere, Tam. Mr. Edwards arrived later than you, so he should be the one looking for another table because there are no empty seats at our table.” Jessica intended to choose a table consisting of two chairs in the corner of the outdoor area. She didn't want anyone to disturb her, and she could probably only tolerate her assistant at the moment. That was why she only invited her assistant t
It was one of the best rooftop bars in Brooklyn, and it was called Tomorrow's Tom's. From the top of The Queen's Bell Hotel, right on the 27th floor, the guests' eyes were treated to beautiful skyline views from the terrace and conservatory. From there, they could see a 360-degree view of New York City. The bar was known for its dynamic menu of original and classic cocktails alongside craft beer and wine. It was quite famous in the city, therefore one needed to make a reservation to be able to enjoy the views and menu offered. It was said that the line was always long, but Karl probably got a shortcut because the bar's owner, Tom Huges, was his best friend. Therefore, it could be said that the people from EntertainMEN had the privilege of being able to enjoy everything at the bar tonight because of their connection. There were indoor and outdoor areas in the bar, and because it was forecasted that the sky tonight would be clear and there were no signs of rain, Ka
Jessica had read on the internet about how most mothers were instinctive philosophers, but she just rolled her eyes at the time, thinking that saying was an exaggeration. She thought the sentence was absurd, but last week she had to silently admit defeat to her mother's instincts. Even if she deliberately tried to hide the truth from her mother, her mother still had suspicions about her pregnancy, and she needed to lie again by saying that the doctor didn't say anything about pregnancy. ["Are you sure about that?" Once again, her mother questioned her even after she denied her suspicions. “I'm sure about that, Mom!” Jessica once again tried to convince her mother, but then her eyes suddenly caught sight of a figure who might be able to support her lie. Pointing at the figure, she said, “If you don't believe my words, you can ask Tammy! You believe her more than me, right? After all, the doctor talked to her while I was still unconscious, so she should be able to tell you what the d
