"Step away," As Beth stooped down to pick up the broken pieces, Din said. "I'll have one of the maids clean things up for me. Come along with me." He walked her over to the couch and sat her down softly.Beth was still taken aback by what she had heard. Din had already married someone else. Of course, she'd told him to marry her and then divorce Jessie when he'd gotten the company. That had been the plan all along, but why was she now uneasy?Her hands were sweaty and quivering, and her legs were trembling. Din clasped her hands in his and smiled. He patted them gently, forcing her to look at him. "I assure you, I have no feelings for her.""I understand." As she stared at him, Beth attempted a smile."Then why are you so concerned?" He inquired."Din, I'm sure you'll end up falling for her. What if you fall in love with her after she moves in? What if you ignore me and go see her? What should I do then? How do I feel then? Please respond."He could hear her voice trembling. "I will n

"How could Marco have done such a thing to me?" Jessie inquired as she left the store. "How could he fool me like that? He fooled me by convincing me that I was unique and buying a forgery that looks exactly like the real ring?" Jessie took the ring and was about to throw it away when Taylor intervened."He's a jerk, but don't throw away the ring." She gave advice."Why?" Jessie inquired. "It's a forgery. How am I going to use a fake? What am I supposed to use a fake ring to do?""Hand it over," Taylor said, and Jessie did just that. "I'll get you a dress for tonight's performance. We need to return home. It's almost six o'clock." When she realized how upset Jessie was, she sighed. Who wouldn't be, right? Jessie recently discovered that the man she thought loved her gave her a false ring. "Don't let this dampen your spirits today. You must put your best foot forward and win people's hearts. Okay?"As they got into the car, Jessie gave a hesitant nod.Taylor retained the ring when she

"Try to get some sleep and think of tomorrow as a fresh start." Taylor walked out of the room, picking up Jessie's empty cup and closing the door behind her. Jessie tried to sleep under the cover but couldn't. She dimmed the lights in the room and began silently scraping the ceiling.She had imagined how her life would change once she entered Din's home. It would truly be a fresh start. It wasn't a love marriage; it was a business marriage, and they'd be done in no time after he'd gotten his grandfather's company. Din was in love with another lady, and she didn't feel the same way about him, so ending the marriage wouldn't be as difficult.She inhaled deeply and slowly closed her eyes.Her alarm had sounded at nine o'clock that morning. Jessie stretched and yawned, her gaze falling on a piece of paper beneath her phone. It was a note from Taylor when she picked it up.Taylor had gone to work that morning after promising to assist her and pack. She had gone to work for an important mee

The lady began applying cosmetics to Jessie's face. As she applied eyeliner to Jessie's eyes, Jessie closed her eyes. "She has blond hair as well. She is petite." The lady could tell Jessie wasn't at ease as she spoke. "Would you like me to go on?""Yes. I'd like to learn more about this young lady. What is her name, exactly?""I'm not sure but he calls her babe," she said."Is that so?""They appeared to be in love." She went to refix Jessie's brows after applying the lashes.Jessie stated, "I want gentle make-up.""I didn't intend to make something hefty. You don't need much makeup on your face because you're already attractive."Jessie blinked open her eyes. "Is it always quiet here? It appears to be too big for just one person."The lady smiled. "Whenever Mr. Cooper brings the girl over, he usually buys this place out. I'm the only one that works on her, and he doesn't want anyone else to know what he's up to, so he pays them not to show up. He probably doesn't want them to talk a

Din remembered his conversation with Jessie the night before. She sounded like she was sucked into the downpour. Perhaps that was the source of her illness.He and Sierra escorted Jessie into the house and showed her to her room. Jessie was too unwell to gaze at the mansion she admired.She just wanted to get out of that gown and sleep for a while."Be gentle with her," Sierra said as Din assisted Jessie into her bed."I'll contact the maid to see how she's doing," Din stated as he approached the open door.Sierra said, "No Din, contact a doctor," and Din nodded. "I'll stay with her till he gets here." Din walked out of the room after she assured him.After Din left the room, Jessie took off her clothes so she could breathe freely. She was carefully placed on the bed, her legs covered by a blanket. "If you weren't feeling well, you should have told him no when he invited you over for supper."Jessie coughed, followed by a sneeze. "I was completely unaware that I was ill.""How could y
