تسجيل الدخول"This is for you, Jessica. You look thin," Elise smiled.Jessica looked at her suspiciously. What was Elise up to? She couldn't have poisoned the croissant, right? There were so many people around them.Jessica took a croissant from the basket. Suddenly, the basket slipped out of Elise's grip! The croissants dropped on Jessica's lap, dirtying her five-thousand-dollar gown."Ah!" Jessica yelped, shocked."Oh my! Sorry!" Elise quickly bent down and picked up the croissants one by one, putting them into the basket. Along the way, she purposely touched and pressed Jessica's legs, feeling her bone."What are you?!" Jessica felt the pressure of Elise's fingers and panicked."An accident. I'm very sorry," Elise said, feigning an apology.However, Kayden clearly saw Elise touching Jessica's legs. From his angle and where he was standing, he could see every action Elise did. Did she suspect something? He needed to talk to her alone."You..." Jessica reeled in her anger and slapped on her signa
"Dad," Elise sighed. "It's me. It's my fault. I made them keep it a secret because I didn't want you to worry,""What secret is it?"Elise had no choice but to tell him. With Bernard's nature, he'd pester them every day and night for it."Someone hired a hitman to kill and rape me,""What??!" Bernard's eyes nearly flew out of their sockets, his face ghastly pale."What happened?! Did he manage to? He better not! I'll teach him a lesson! Where's the bastard?!" Bernard went to the sports cupboard, snatching up a wooden bat and marched to the gates."Dad! Calm down!" Edward called, reaching out to stop him. Donovan blocked the gate with his body."Dad! It's the middle of the night. Where can you find the mastermind? Nik already caught the hitman and beat him up until he screamed for his mom,""Dad, everything's handled well. We just haven't found the mastermind. It was Damien who saved me," Elise said, taking the scary bat away from him.She passed it to Ellison, who quickly put it back
"What are you doing here, in the middle of the night?" Elise asked. She could guess that he was stalking her. How in the world did he have a lot of free time to stalk her? What kind of CEO was he?Damien gazed at her. "I just wanted to see you,""Why didn't you call or send a message?""I don't want to disturb you," he replied, his tone low and slightly husky."Are you hungry or cold?" Elise's eyes fell to his chest and arm where his sleeves were rolled up, revealing his tattoos. She had to pull her eyes away from his tattoos and body to keep her face from flushing. Why was she so attracted to his tattoos? They were just normal things that she had seen before."A little. But you cured it," Damien said, gazing at her intensely. He approached her, his shoes touching hers. Elise could hear his ragged breathing and feel his warm breath on her cheeks."Are you blushing?" he suddenly asked."What... No. No. It must be the cold weather," Elise replied, nearly stuttering. She wanted to turn a
Liam tried to open the secret compartment but to no avail. He sent Kayden a message.[Found a secret compartment but it might take time to open it. Do you think you can distract her for four hours?]Kayden was having lunch with Jessica in a fancy restaurant. He let her order anything she liked. He typed a message back to Liam.[I'll try to.]Although he didn't want to spend much time with Jessica, he had no choice.Jessica was having the time of her life. Kayden usually never initiated dates. Could it be that he had something to say to her but didn't know how? Well, she could wait.Meanwhile, Liam called two of his friends who were experts in things like this. It took only twenty minutes for them to crack open the secret compartment and the safe.Liam snapped photos of the money stacked in there. One million dollars! Where did Jessica get this money from? Although it didn't seem much, the fact that she hid it like this made it suspicious.Did her parents know about this?He found her
Jessica was at home, moving around the house in her wheelchair. When the wheelchair reached the stairs, she stood up on her two legs and began walking! She walked up the stairs like a normal person as if her legs had never been injured.She reached her room. Jessica opened a secret compartment hidden behind a painting. She pulled out a small safe box. Unlocking it, she took out a few jewelleries and two credit cards.Jack had been demanding money from her. She didn't have enough money and she couldn't ask her parents for money as they would know about her and Jack.So Jessica thought of pawning the jewelleries that all those men gave her during her college years. Over the years, Jessica had her fair share of men who wanted to date her. She purposely led them on while dating Kayden. She made sure to keep those relationships a secret from Kayden.Jessica hailed a cab and went to a pawnshop. After pawning it, she found that it wasn't enough to reach ten million dollars. So she ended up p
Kayden, Liam, and Nathan were back to being friends. After a night of arguments, apologizing to each other, and nearly getting drunk, they came up with a plan to find out whether the child in the orphanage belonged to Jessica. Kayden didn't want to doubt or suspect Jessica. It wasn't right to do that to his wife. But then again, Liam reminded him nicely that he did the same to Elise.He doubted Elise was a gold digger and had ulterior motives.Nathan decided to go to that orphanage in London where Liam's mother spotted that 5 year old child.The orphanage looked quite shabby and dirty. Nathan sighed. If that girl was really Jessica's child, how could she bear to let her own daughter that she gave birth to live in a place like this?He went inside and asked to speak with the director of the orphanage. A bald fat man came out to see him. As Nathan was dressed in a light brown three-piece suit that exuded luxury and power, the director was particularly friendly with him."Hello. I'm the
Seems like he must go to Massachusetts if he wanted to know more about her. Then Kayden noticed Jackson giving him a funny look. "What are you looking at?" He narrowed his eyes at him. "Sir, are you interested in Miss Elise?" Jackson asked, hiding his smile. "No. I'm just interested in her
"Grandma, does this feel better?" "Hmm... Very. You're so skillful and talented," Elise let out a cheerful laugh, her eyes twinkling. "Thank you for your praise," "Do you have grandparents? Sorry if I'm being bothersome or rude," Naty su
"What?! Where do I have such money? You're my brother; you're supposed to do something! You have more money than me!" "I'm your brother, but I'm not your cleaner, and I'm not in charge of cleaning up every mess you make!" Kayden snapped. "Don't forget. The man's crippled for life. He lost his job
No hello or sweet greetings. No word of concern either. He always got straight to the point, cold and rude like he couldn't wait to hang up. It was like she was some virus that he couldn't wait to avoid."Aren't you forgetting what I said yesterday?" Elise asked."What?" He sounded impatient.Elise
