LOGINWhen my cousin died, my aunt forced me to marry her husband in order to take care of the child she left behind. She said that it was a way to pay her back for raising me after the death of my mom. For eight years of being in the marriage, I was bullied by my cousin's son, accusing me killing his mom in order to take over her home. And my husband? He never defended me. To them, I was nothing more than a mere house help. And the day I had looked forward finally came, when I could walk away from the marriage. But fate had other plans—I died in pain that very day. Now, with a second chance at life, I made one thing clear: I was done with that miserable family, for good.

Are you okay?” I placed a hand on her hand, jolting her back, and she flinched slightly.“Huh? Did you say something?” She blinked. “Is everything alright? You kept zoning out.”She nodded and smiled faintly. “Yeah, I'm fine.”But I knew she was not. Her eyes gave her away.I've noticed she hasn't been herself since we left the office.“Are you sure you're fine?” I asked, not wanting to give up that easily.Stella scoffed, reminding me that she was still here. I'd almost forgotten.“She said she's fine. Why don't you leave her alone?”I shot her a glare, and she rolled her eyes.“I'm fine, Ollie.” Jess smiled again, but no matter how convincing she tried to look, it only made her look even more suspicious.I gave up asking.Her phone pinged, and she quickly grabbed it, as if she'd been waiting for that one text.I noticed her face went pale for a moment as she read whatever te
Chapter 127Jessica Hemsworth WATCH YOUR BACK!I stared at the note as I reclined on the chair. Someone had been stalking me and I didn't even know about it.Who could this be?The only suspects I had in mind who would do anything to harm me were Susanne and Philip.But Philips? The cops had already put an APB on him. So I'm not sure he'd be this free to stalk me and even get pictures of me.‘What if he'd hired someone to do it?’A voice screamed in my head, and I swallowed nothing.Just then, my phone pinged with a text. Alicia;‘Let’s have lunch later’.Me;‘Alright. See you later’Then I dropped my phone on the table, picking the pictures again.Who could it be?Sighs. I'll figure it out later.Once it was lunchtime, I left for the restaurant.At the restaurant.Alicia waved at me from where she sat once I stepped inside.“Hey!” I smiled faintly, pulling out a chair to sit across from her.Her brows squinted as her eyes swept over me. “Are you okay?”I blinked, glancing down at
Chapter 126 Jessica Hemsworth I laid on my bed, eyes glued to my laptop, and my fingers slowly working its way around the mouse, editing the sketch I'd made. My phone pinged with a text, distracting me, and I hesitated before reaching for it. I gritted out. Liam again? He'd been texting me nonstop all day, but I haven't replied to any of them. I knew I couldn't opt out just like that because I was still interested in finding my mom's murderer, but I needed to make him realise what he did was wrong. ‘I'm waiting at the parking lot. I won't leave until you come out’ I rolled my eyes. He'd leave once he got tired. I was distracted from my phone by the knock on my door, and a smile stretched around my face as I quickly stood and advanced toward the door. That must be Oliver. My smiles faded once I opened the door and was welcomed by Stella instead. Oh… I had forgotten that someone else now lives here. “You look disappointed… Were you expecting someone else?” She crossed her
Chapter 125Jessica Hemsworth “Who are you?” She asked, her eyes sweeping over my body as she stood to her feet.“Who are you?” I asked, staring at her, confused.By mere looking at her, she should be about twenty-two years old. Slim and beautiful.Is she Ollie's sister?But he is an only child, so, who is this?“I'm Stella… Oliver's girlfriend.”I froze, my grip loosened on my bag, and lips parted but no words came out.His girlfriend? There's no way she's the girl he told me that dumped him in the past, right?“You look shocked. I guess he hasn't told you about me yet.” She smirked.My heart stung, disappointed, but I masked my emotions with a small faint smile.“No, he hasn't. It's nice to meet you.” I said, and without another second, headed to the staircase.“You still haven't told me who you are.” She yelled after me as I climbed the staircase, but I didn't stop to glance at her.I threw myself on my bed once I stepped into my room. “Girlfriend?” I muttered and scoffed. “He di
Chapter 124Jessica Hemsworth When Liam came to pick me up, I thought he was taking me to the library, but the direction seemed different.“Where are we going?” I turned to him and asked.He glanced at me and smiled. “Oh, I forgot to tell you… I moved the book from the library.”I blinked. “Huh?”“I heard the library would be demolished by the government soon, and I didn't want such a special book to be destroyed, so I moved it to my apartment.”My heart skipped a beat, and I tightened my fingers. “Your apartment?”He nodded.I suddenly felt uncomfortable about going to his apartment, but I tried to stay calm, reminding myself that he was a good man. He hasn't given me a reason to doubt him so far. He's been nice to me, and even helped me to find my mom's murderer. He is a good person… but still, a part of me didn't feel right about this. Why didn't he tell me earlier that he'd moved the book from there?“Are you okay?” His voice slammed me back to reality, and I glanced at him, m
Chapter 123Jessica Hemsworth My eyes swept over the dining table, a smile lingering on my face.I had spent the night, jumping from one food channel to the other, trying to sort for the perfect healthy food for Oliver, and I got so many options.“I hope he likes it.” I muttered before leaving to go call him.I had just stepped into the walkway when he stepped out of his room, fully clothed and ready for work.I paused and blinked. Is he going to the office today?“Jess?” He smiled as he approached me.“Are you going to the office?”He glanced down at himself and nodded. “Hmm. I have some work to get done.”I scoffed. “More important than your health?”He chuckled. “No job is more important than my health.”“I doubt that.” I crossed my arms in front of me. “The doctor said you were stressed and needed to rest well, and here you are, ready to go to the office?”“I'm fine, Jess. I've had more than enough rest since yesterday to this morning…” he leaned close, his eyes locked on me. “Yo
