Chapter 15

Author: Wayfarer
The next morning, Cole woke up with a splitting headache from his hangover. He tried to lift his hand to press at his temples but suddenly realized that there seemed to be someone lying in his arms.

He looked down, only to see the top of a perfectly styled head of curly hair.

Before his mind could fully catch up, the name slipped from his lips. "Jaycie?"

But the moment the word left his mouth, he realized something wasn't right. Jaycie was still in Housleton—she hadn't come back. Besides, just a few days ago, she had decisively broken up with him. How could she possibly be here, in his bed, now? More than that, Jaycie had never curled her hair like this.

A sense of unease gripped him. He pushed the person away with a sudden force, and Eileen, still deep in her sleep, was flung off the bed and hit the floor with a jarring crash that instantly roused her from her slumber.

As she lifted her head, her eyes met Cole's dark, stormy expression.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, his v

very valid point. He was about to comfortably make her a mistress with NO guilt. He was relying on the power imbalance in their relationship to keep her as a bed warmer and emotional dumping ground

    "I'm not the one who brought down Benson Corp. You should be asking him for mercy."Jaycie gave a faint smile, but it didn't reach her eyes. "Besides, Cole, didn't you already do all you can to ruin what we had?"When he hid his engagement to someone else, planning to keep her as just a mistress by his side; when his friends, speaking in Frutunian, mocked and belittled her, and he never even considered stepping in to stop them; when Eileen and his crew spread lies about her, and he remained comfortably silent, acting like a ghost… Now, he had the audacity to bring up their past? Why didn't he remember what they had back then when he did all those things that hurt her?The color drained from Cole's face as her words hit home. He felt an unbearable dryness in his throat, and it became so hard to swallow that it felt like the weight of the world had settled on him. "Jaycie, I know I was wrong, and I'm sorry. But if this goes on, Benson Corp won't survive…"She shrugged nonchalan

    Eileen had been completely abandoned.Jaycie didn't focus much on what happened after that. She trusted that with the capabilities of TruVision's legal team, those responsible would pay the price they deserved. However, when she heard that Eileen had ended up in court without even a defense lawyer to represent her, she couldn't help but feel a little pity. In reality, if Eileen hadn't foolishly provoked Jaycie, she could've easily kept up the illusion of a peaceful marriage with Cole and just be another typical story of an arranged union among the rich and powerful. But Eileen wasn't content. While Jaycie was still with Cole, Eileen tried to drive her away. When Jaycie left, Eileen shifted all the blame for her own suffering onto Jaycie, determined to crush her underfoot. In the end, though, it was Eileen who had fallen into ruin. Cole's group of friends, led by Wayne, had always believed in the idea that birthright determined everything and felt there was no way people of dif

  • Never Lonely Again   Chapter 22

    As the roar of the car's engine faded into the distance, the resentment in Eileen's eyes deepened. She hadn't acted on impulse. Ever since returning from Housleton and learning that she had botched the bidding and angered the daughter of Housleton's richest family, the Wises had decisively abandoned her. Eileen had hoped to solidify her position with the Wises through her marriage to Cole, but the moment she mentioned it, her parents slapped her across the face. "How dare you even bring that up! The minute Cole came back, he came to us to cancel the engagement. You can't even hold on to a man. Tell me, what use are you?" It was only then that Eileen realized she had been abandoned by everyone. But why should she just take it? She felt like because of Jaycie, she was abandoned by the Wises and rejected by Cole. Why did Jaycie still get to look down on her from her high perch? She directed all her anger at Jaycie, dragging Wayne and Cole into her plan as she made one last d

    Hearing the softness and urgency in Zander's voice, Jaycie felt the tension in her chest melt away. She let out a light laugh before responding, "It's fine. I'm not that fragile. It's just a rumor; I can handle it myself." "Okay." Seeing that she was in good spirits, Zander finally relaxed. He didn't want to hang up, but he wasn't sure what else to say. The silence stretched between them. After a long moment of quiet, Jaycie, even from the other end of the phone, could almost hear his shallow breaths. Finally, she broke the stillness. "Zander, thank you." Though she wasn't going to let those unfounded rumors get to her, she was grateful for his concern. Still, she didn't elaborate and quickly hung up. Meanwhile, Zander held the phone in his hand, feeling like time had flown by too quickly. If only they could stay in that moment forever, just like that—on opposite ends of the phone, in the silence of the moment, listening to her soft breathing. That would be enough. When M

    Zander had been waiting for so many years, so waiting a little longer wasn't an issue. As Jaycie had said, they were just friends for now, and he was already content with that. After all, moving from strangers to friends was a step forward, and he couldn't ask for more. That night, unlike the two restless souls in Rochernia, Jaycie and Zander slept soundly. It wasn't until the next morning that Jaycie was awakened by the incessant ringing of her phone. Groggy, she opened her eyes and realized her social media account had been bombarded to the point of crashing. The relentless pinging of notifications filled the air, each one brimming with malicious insults. A quick glance showed nothing but vicious slander. Just then, a call from a Rochernia number came through. She answered, and it was a friend from her time in Rochernia. "Jaycie, have you seen what people are saying online? Those netizens are just repeating whatever they hear, believing anything! They're calling you a homew

  • Never Lonely Again   Chapter 19

    The word "we" left both Cole and Eileen frozen in place, caught off guard. So, what he meant was that not only was he involved in the bidding, but Jaycie was, too? Looking around, they realized none of the information they read about the other bidders seemed to match Jaycie, and the only person left in the running was... Ms. Stanton, the only daughter of Housleton's wealthiest family.The realization hit both Cole and Eileen like a ton of bricks, and their faces drained of color. They glanced around at the crowd, who seemed to be watching the scene unfold with great amusement. In that moment, it became painfully clear to them—they were the butt of the joke. Cole's face shifted from pale to red, his temper flaring. He couldn't care less about the bidding war anymore and, in embarrassment, quickly made his way out of the banquet hall. After he left, Eileen shot Jaycie a venomous look, her hatred burning, and hurried after him, eager to escape the situation. Jaycie saw the hate
