All Chapters of My Rise From The Ashes After Divorce: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

It had been a long time since Blake uttered Treasure's name in front of Jake. However, now that Blake's greed is paramount and he is consumed with finding the money, he assumes Jake feels just as strongly about it. Now that they both knew the money was stashed at her house, Jake found it hard to concentrate on the cash rather than on Treasure's well-being. And now that she's been harmed, he suspects Blake was involved in Treasure's hospitalization. The sense of betrayal was overwhelming, creating a tense atmosphere between them.Nevertheless, he kept his cool; he couldn't just accuse Blake without evidence. Jake tried to work and focus every moment, hour, and day, but the thought of nearly losing Treasure kept invading his mind. The only person he perceived as cruel and greedy enough to harm her was his brother, and that suspicion intensified with each passing day. After some time, Blake was astonished by how weak Jake seemed; he had always viewed him as someone who had it all togethe

Jake had cherished and adored Treasure from the moment he laid eyes on her. All he desired at this moment was to show her how he felt about her. He wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her. He wanted to bring her comfort and help her recall who he was. Treasure entered the room, perched on the edge of the bed, and wept. She had begun to feel a sense of guilt and other emotions, but they were trapped behind a barrier in her mind that she couldn't overcome. Still, she sensed something familiar about this man, and he was completely different from the person she recognized as her husband. When Jake came back to her room an hour later, he discovered her sitting on the bed, tears flowing down her cheeks. He approached her with a tender touch, his eyes brimming with empathy. Treasure met his look, her eyes conveying a blend of confusion and sadness."Why are you crying?" "I know it's hard for you and you don’t deserve this, there is so much I wish to tell you, but I can't." She said as t

“That’s not funny,” She whispered.He was so close that her breath fluttered against his skin. “Do you hear me laughing?” His voice sounded gruff now, as if it almost pained him to talk. He only broke eye contact with her long enough to glance down at her lips quickly. She glanced away, as her eyes looked around the kitchen, you could hear the rain begin to pound like a steady heartbeat. It was a little creepy, more than fearful, the way Jake stared at her without saying anything. When he blinked again, she saw a fresh set of tears slide down his cheeks. Treasure was drawn to his open vulnerability. He felt compelled to help and keep her safe. "Are you all right?" she asked softly.After what felt like minutes, he shook his head slowly, yes... She tried to smile but it felt odd under Jake's scrutiny. She knew what he wanted because deep down inside, she wanted it too. He began to move slowly, walking toward her, the closer he got to her the more she could feel this tingling in her

The sun was setting as it streamed through the curtains, casting soft golden hues across the room. Treasure rolled over, stretching luxuriously in the peace of her home and bed, feeling on the other side for Jake. But he wasn’t there. “Oh my, how long have I been asleep?” Treasure takes the warmth of the blanket and wraps it around her body. Her thoughts about Jake, trying to marry her, and how she almost did it, left her feeling uneasy. Jake was a brilliant man. Treasure thought did he want to sincerely marry me to protect me from his brother and father? Or was he trying to sly get his hands on the money? Those gnawing thoughts stayed on her mind as she went to look for him. Where had he gone?The vibrant floral wallpaper was a stark contrast to the cold dread inching up her spine. She swung her legs over the side of the bed, her feet brushing against the cool wooden floor. Treasure padded to the kitchen, calling out, "Jake?" No response. The silence echoed in her ears, amplifying th

Ashes Of Betrayal‘Oh my God, Treasure was gone.’ He murmured. Jake’s heart seized in his chest, a cold, crushing weight.Jake backed away slowly, past the police line. He felt a profound sense of isolation. He reached for the car, leaned on it, and stared at the horror. The ending was indeed sad for Jake, the terrifying certainty that defied all logic and all firemen's reports, that Treasure was a creature of habit. She was always home on a Friday night, curled up with a book and a cup of tea to help her sleep. The absence of a body though her burned car remained in the driveway. It meant nothing to Jake. The night stretching before him was suddenly meaningless.For days and weeks, Jake searched every hospital and all the places he could think of, and there was no Treasure. Jake visited the burned house for months, hoping to get a clue. All that remained was the acrid scent of charred remnants lingering in the air as Jake stood among the ruins, trying to grasp the enormity of what
