Blade drew a deep breath. “He looks so happy for someone who is cheating on his wife,” he said as he looked at Mr. Charles who held hands face to face with Nancy.Blade sat at the far end of the church with Jack, watching as the couples exchanged vows.Great dignitaries in New York City were all there to grace the occasion. It was no new thing because Charles was indeed an influential personality in town, so no one would expect less.“Don't mind the silly idiot. A cheat getting married to a cheat—that was the same way Nancy cheated on me too. Funny enough, still with him. I am not too surprised that they accepted to marry each other so easily,” Jack commented, thankful for the shade he wore, which hid the underlying pain in his eyes. The past six days have been busy; all hands have been on desks as everyone, including Jasmine, has started putting their plans into action: the plan to get Mr. Charles' wife to ruin Nancy’s happy day.“Yeah, I see. They have one thing in common,” Blade re

Nancy was admitted to the hospital after she passed out.The doctor was examining her that evening as she lay unconscious on the bed. As soon as the doctor removed the stethoscope from her chest, her father asked him, “How is my daughter feeling? Any improvement so far on her waking up?”“From my examination, she will be awake before five minutes. The shock she had, accompanied by the early miscarriage she had, made her lose consciousness for this long. We should be thankful to God that the fetus is minimal and cell development has just begun in her womb. And again, the fact that you guys brought her right on time matters a lot too. If not, it wouldn't be as simple as we are discussing it.” The doctor explained.“OK, doctor. Thank you so much; I will still be here and watch her while she wakes.”While the doctor was about to leave, Nancy turned around slightly and forced her eyes open with blurry eyes.She tried to recall the last scene that played out in her head, but before she knew

“Jack, please, can you come to Stanford? My mom wants to see you.”“Why? I hope there is no problem,” Jack replied.Jack was beginning to think it was the assurance he gave Jasmine the previous day that if anything should come up, she should let him know, that was making her say that.“There is no issue, she just wants to know you,” Jasmine reassured him.Jack was tempted to continue asking to know the reason Jasmine’s mom would want to see him out of the blue, but he decided to go visit since it was the weekend, and he wasn't doing anything. Besides, Stamford is a town close to New York City.He got confused at the same time on what to ask Jasmine exactly, but he managed to say, “When did you travel, yesterday or this morning?”“I was too weak yesterday to step a foot out when I got home, so it was this morning that I traveled.”“Ok, it's fine. I will come. Give me less than 50 minutes to be there with you, and don't forget to send me a map of the exact location.”From New York to St

‘Did Blade lie to him, or did Richard get back without Blade’s notice?He can't mess around with his sister and this one too.’Many things were on Jack's mind, but he needed to take them one after the other.He had an unreadable, terrible expression written all over his face.Jasmine shivered with fright as she saw the expressionless look on Jack’s face. Aside from the day they went to the funeral services of Jack’s sister and grandpa, she hadn't seen Jack in such a mood before.At the same time, she had no clue what exactly was wrong with Jack, but her intuition was strong that it had something to do with what she had just said.She trembled with fear and almost fell to her knees if the car steering cover could allow her. “I am so sorry if I have said anything wrong, boss.”She could not afford to provoke Jack, as she wished she could just burrow into the ground.Besides, in a short interval after her mom had lashed out her words angrily at him.But Jack wasn't even responding to he

“I am an accountant,” Jack finally said.“That's a very nice profession. And where do you practice?”Just as Jack had envisaged, Nick went further to ask. Jack doesn't even want to let him know he owns an accounting firm, let alone that he was the CEO of Agron Incorporation. He doesn't have a problem with him on that, but he has known their mom’s kind of person and wouldn't want her to get to know him for some reason known to him.But then, there was no need to lie to Nick because he was likely going to know the truth from Jasmine, his sister. You know, first impressions matter a lot, so he has to apply wisdom to answer his question.“I own an accounting firm,” Nick said.Nick was beginning to wonder what made their mom think that Jack was poor, let alone talk down on him. There was no way someone who owned an accounting firm would not be rich. Jack hadn't even mentioned the name of the particular firm, and Nick was this amazed already.There was no way he wouldn't know the firm becau
