The next morning.Jessica helped the maid, Rekha, with breakfast preparation. Having worked as a waiter in the past before, she knew a thing or two about cooking, though she couldn’t afford to cook at her home regularly for the most part of her life.After making sure Elora had eaten food and taken the pills that Sansa had prescribed, Jessica went out to work. Taking care of Elora was the least she could do for staying here at her farm house, she believed.Eventually, she reached Creed Zone because Regan was spending most of his time here because the new headquarters was being built here, and ten percent of the building was already done.Jessica was extremely impressed by the workers and the strategies they used. She had experience as a construction worker when she used to work with her dad in the past, so she was mind-boggled to see the highly abnormal techniques using stones instead of bricks. She couldn’t contain her curiosity and ended up asking Michelle Arris who was maintaining

“Did I ask you a question that’s too difficult to answer?” Jessica blurted. “Hmph, I’ve seen people change drastically after marriage, but I never thought you’d also be the same as the rest.”“Jessica,” Russell pursed his lips. “I would have answered if I could.”“What the heck is that supposed to mean?” Jessica raised her voice. “You can just say that you don’t want to answer. There’s no need to try and trick me through this, Russell. Now, you’re starting to act like your father. Every time I used to come to your house, your dad would do his best so that I wouldn’t meet you, all the while smiling at me as if he didn't mean any harm. At least you’re not smiling like him, but I feel like you’re going to become him sooner or later. You’re father and son, after all.”Russell didn’t get angry from hearing her words because he could understand her pain. “I really can’t talk to you about it, so please forgive me.”Frowning, Jessica stood. “I wish you a wonderful life ahead, Russell, and I h

“I’ll live with Russell, and then come and meet you and Mom separately on the weekends. What do you say?” Kyra expectantly asked her dad.“I’m okay with it, but a word of advice, Kyra,” Liam replied calmly. “Even if you don’t want Harry in your life, he might come looking for you, so don’t trust that guy. If you let him get too close, he’ll end up hurting you.”“Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t let the Heller family waste my time,” Kyra assured. “Actually, I was angry yesterday that you knew about this and didn’t tell me, but then I realized how much you must have suffered because of it. I’m not angry at you anymore, but I’m still very much angry at Mom. How can she get pregnant with Harry after being married to you? That’s a thousand times worse than me getting pregnant before marriage.”Liam pursed his lips. “None of us are perfect, Kyra.”“No, Dad. You’re perfect.”“I’m not as perfect as you think. I’ve made mistakes, and things that I never speak about in public.”“I don’t think so,” Kyr

At Elora’s home.Jessica just returned from her job. Normally, she’d be tired, but today, she wasn’t. She was full of energy. In fact, she was showing temperament at the maid and even at Elora without giving them any reason as to why she was on edge.But it was only after the maid left, Jessica began to talk to Elora about what was going on in Russell’s life.“Did you know about Kyra losing her baby?” Jessica asked out of the blue.Elora spilled the green juice she was drinking. “What?” Before anything, how did Jessica even know about it? Who told her?“So you didn’t know, huh…” Jessica was cracking her knuckles both in anger as well as disappointment. “Your son has made her pregnant before marriage. Can you believe that?”“Uh..” Elora went speechless. She could clearly see that Jessica was hurt, but she still couldn’t tell that it wasn’t actually Russell who made Kyra pregnant.“I’ve loved him for a long time, you know,” Jessica opened up for the first time before Elora. “I don’t eve

Liam’s voice made Harry let go of his mobile.Harry picked it up and quickly cut the call.Liam was not surprised at all. He tossed the mobile on the floor and crushed it under his boot.“Why would Harry call your mother’s mobile right now, Kyra?” Liam asked in a loud voice. “Do you think it’s just to ask you, or is he trying to make you and your mother his ‘second’ family?”“Liam! That’s enough!” Charlotte got up from the couch.“I bet he’s bought a villa in the suburbs,” Liam didn’t back down. He shifted his gaze to Kyra and walked toward her. “If you stay with your mother, you’re going to be considered a bigger fool than her. I’m not gonna say more, so take care. If you need anything from me, I’ll only be a phone call away.” He climbed up the stairs and went past her.Kyra’s mouth stayed down all this while. She couldn’t speak a word or even think properly right now. Her world felt like it had broken apart because she would no longer be seeing Liam regularly anymore. She and her da
