"Get ready for tonight, we will attend a big party and act like a wife," Jacob ordered by giving a red evening dress that was so elegant and luxurious."Party? Why are you suddenly asking me to a party?” I asked confused."You will know when you get there. Your job is only to accompany me. As a smart woman you must understand that," Jacob said without expression."Okay, I understand," I replied simply.After saying that, Jacob just left the room, and now I just stared at the eye-catching red dress with a thousand questions that filled my mind.Because this was the first time, Jacob took me out of the castle after months I was cooped up in his castle. It made me sure that Jacob must have had a reason for doing it....I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The makeup I matched to the color of the dress, and this time I made my long hair in a bun back with a model I'd seen in one of the well-known fashion magazines, then I decorated it with seashell clips to sweeten the look. After th
Daniel Noel and Helen Noel stared at me and Jacob who were still busy chatting with the party invitees. I could see the look of surprise in both of their eyes now when they saw me. Jacob who saw him and realized Daniel and Helen's presence smiled meaningfully, then said goodbye to the men in suits who swarmed him like flies."Come on, let's say hello there. I'm sure Noel was so surprised because his long lost ex-wife has now appeared and become my best friend at the party," Jacob whispered with a meaningful smile and I just kept silent following what game Jacob would play with Daniel and Helen Noel.“Hello, Daniel and Helen Noel. I, as the oldest person, humbly come to greet the owner of a large company, Noel and his popular wife," said Jacob, smiling with a smirk in front of the two people who seemed unblinking to my presence and Jacob who now looked real before them."I'm sure you've been planning this for a long time, Jacob Hayden!!” Daniel scolded with an angry look, then he turne
"Why have you been silent since earlier, did you feel your heartbeat again when you met your ex-husband?" Jacob asked to provoke me, who had been silent since the way home from the party and didn't say much."No, why should I flutter?" I said lie."You think I'm stupid, Lucy. You are not talented to lie in front of me." With his domineering attitude Jacob brought his face right in mine so close. I, who felt I wasn't ready for the situation, could only avert his gaze because I felt nervous."I'm going to take a shower, excuse me" I said trying to change the subject then quickly walked into the bathroom.After taking off the eye-catching red evening dress, I immediately flushed my whole body with water in the shower. I don't want to take a bath this time because I want to quickly take a shower and clean myself. The splash of warm water and the sound of running water somehow calmed me down. Because it's true what Jacob said, I couldn't hide my feelings when I met Daniel Noel. I struggled
Noel's Mansion“Give me all the information about Jacob Hayden Al Jassem! Everyone without exception!” Daniel ruled Marvel furiously. His emotions were still burning with anger and great revenge.Already bottles of alcoholic beverages he drank that night after returning from the party. Still wearing a party suit still attached to his broad body, Daniel is now sitting with a frustrated face at his office desk. It's still like a dream when he remembers his meeting with Lucy Watts and Jacob Hayden last night.He was shocked, angry, shocked and jealous at the same time! Yes there is jealousy in his deepest heart. When he has to see the woman who once filled his heart has now become the wife of his archenemy who is none other than his own half-brother, Jacob Hayden Al Jassem! and unfortunately after disappearing without a trace for months, now Lucy looks so beautiful and charming in a red dress that seduces the eyes of anyone who sees perfect beauty, like the one her second ex-wife showed
As usual, if all night Jacob touched me, my body felt crushed, especially in the groin area it hurt and just walking was so painful. Why is that guy always rude when touching me? Can't he have a bit of conscience to treat me a little gentler? However, it seems like it was just a dream, because our marriage was not based on love as it was when mine and Daniel were. Ironically my love for Daniel grew after we spent a lot of time together after the wedding. Unlike Jacob, he never lingered with me. We never spend time together like a real husband and wife should. Because indeed I am not a wife, but as a prisoner or rather a slave while in bed."Good morning, Madam. I will prepare warm water in the bathtub so you can take a shower and wash yourself, and here is some medicine for you to take this morning,” Debora said after coming into my room as usual that morning.I just kept quiet and didn't respond and smiled bitterly at the birth control pills that I usually took when Jacob and I finis
The day came where I would get out of this castle and move to another place that I myself didn't know where it was. Yes, Jacob said that he would prepare a new residence for me as long as I was not living in his castle, but he would still keep an eye on me from afar. I don't care about that, because right now what I'm thinking is that I can get out of the castle that is like a prison to me and avenge Helen Noel's evil deeds to me."This is the new Mrs.'s residence," said Charlie, Jacob's right hand man who was assigned to take me to my new residence, in a luxurious penthouse in downtown Los Angeles."Isn't this too much? I want to live in an ordinary place that isn't too flashy," I commented disapprovingly.“This is an order from the master himself, madam. And I'm sure you'll feel comfortable and safe living here,” Charlie persuaded.“Since when did that annoying guy care about me?” I hissed slightly annoyed."And starting tomorrow you can work as a Manager at Dominic Corp." Charlie a
Lilian's MansionThat night Lilian Bells as the host held a party at her luxurious mansion. As a wealthy widow who also has a brilliant career in the entertainment world just like her best friend Helen Noel, her life is always full of luxury and extravagance. Her career, which started as a model and then married to a film producer whose age is far from her, made her life never feel deprived. Her lifestyle has become more like a socialite since the death of her husband two years ago. Her status as a widow did not make her worse off, but quite the opposite.Like tonight, Lilian held her annual banquet at her mansion just for her prestige. She usually holds parties at her mansion, a legacy from her late husband who died due to illness. She invited many friends in the entertainment world as well as businessmen who were her business relations, and that night the special guests that Lilian had been waiting for arrived, who else if not Helen Noel and Daniel Noel. How not special? Because as
I spent a few days as a manager at Dominic Corp. and I'm quite busy with it, and today is the third day I come home late because of work that requires me to work overtime. After soaking in warm water for a long time in the bathtub I sat on the edge of the bed drying my wet hair with a towel clad only in a bathrobe. After taking a shower I feel refreshed, and for a moment I stare at the screen of my cell phone which I put on the nightstand. It's been several days since I heard from this annoying man, Jacob Hayden, who is my own husband. I haven't heard from him since our conversation on the phone. Not a single message or call from him. I should be happy right? Then why do I feel a little lonely? And with my logic I tried to brush it off and didn't want to think more.Immediately I took off my bathrobe and I replaced it with black lingerie that was in my wardrobe. Lie down and stare blankly at the ceiling. I feel lonely and empty. However, on the one hand I feel happy because I can feel
