Hailey sat in the corner of the cafe shop, she held the invitation letter as she keot looking at the spot where Hope had left, the weight and event felt overwhelming to her.She stared at the envelope, Her mind raced, she had just being invited by the famous and rich Hope?Tyler, sensing her discomfort, glanced over at her, his voice soft. “You alright? You’ve been quiet for a while.”Hailey exhaled slowly, trying to steady herself. “I don’t know... it just feels like too much, you know? Like a world I left behind is suddenly right in front of me again.”Tyler reached over, his hand warm and reassuring on hers. “I get it. But hey, think about it—this could be an opportunity. I mean, there’s going to be a ton of influential people there. It could help with the business. We could meet some people who might make a difference.”Hailey looked at him, his optimism both comforting and distant.

The payback of Jeremy Xavier/Jessica Sage
The D- Day was finally here. Today Jeremy and Hope was going to get married. Vivian paced the room, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. As Jeremy’s mother, today was one of the most significant days of her life, and though she was happy for her son, she couldn’t shake the feeling that the day was about to change everything, regardless of the fact that it was a business marriage.She glanced at the clock again. The ceremony was about to start, and everything had been meticulously planned. Guests had arrived, the garden was perfectly set up, and Hope was about to become part of their family. Yet, Vivian found herself lost in her thoughts, her emotions battling between pride, her only son, she had been absent away from his life most of his life and now….he was getting married.

The payback of Jeremy Xavier/Jessica Sage
As the program was about to begin, Vivian, along with the other guests, took her seat in the open garden. The gentle hum of conversation filled the air as everyone settled in, the soft rustle of leaves providing a serene backdrop. At the far corner of the garden, Tyler and Hailey quietly slipped into their seats. Their movements were subtle, calculated to avoid drawing unnecessary attention. Yet, a few heads turned their way, ...curiosity evident in their glances. Tyler's reputation often preceded him, and Hailey's striking presence added to the intrigue. Vivian noticed the stir but chose not to look directly, focusing instead on the stage where the program host was now stepping up. The host, a middle-aged man with an easy smile and a resonant voice, welcomed everyone warmly, his words flowing effortlessly. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here tonight to celebrate not just the art of storytelling but also the power it holds to bring us together." Jeremy immediately sighte

The payback of Jeremy Xavier/Jessica Sage
The tension in the garden was palpable. Every eye was on Jeremy, Tyler, and Hailey. The program's calm, almost celebratory ambiance had transformed into something electric, charged with unresolved emotions and unspoken truths. Hope's gaze shifted between the three, her expression a mix of determination and vulnerability. She had orchestrated this moment, knowing it could either shatter what remained of their connection or begin to piece it back together. Jeremy’s presence was the catalyst, but her words would be the glue—or the final wedge. "Jeremy," Tyler finally said, his voice low but steady, "what is this really about? Is it about us, or is it about you proving a point?" Jeremy’s lips curved into a wry smile. "Maybe a little of both," he admitted, his tone cutting. "But mostly, it’s about closure. For all of us." Hailey, her hand still gripping Tyler’s, shook her head. "Closure? After all these years, you think a public spectacle is the way to go?" "It’s not just about yo

The payback of Jeremy Xavier/Jessica Sage
Jeremy's words hung in the air, cryptic and heavy, leaving everyone in stunned silence. Hope's eyes narrowed, trying to decipher the meaning behind his declaration. Tyler and Hailey exchanged a tense glance, their shared unease palpable. "Someone else?" Hope's voice was barely above a whisper, but it carried the weight of her confusion. "What do you mean, Jeremy?" Jeremy let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. "You think this is all about you three? About some tangled love triangle from years ago?" His gaze swept over the group, his expression both accusing and deeply pained. "It’s bigger than that. There’s someone else who’s been caught in this mess, someone who’s been just as affected as I have." "Who, Jeremy?" Tyler's voice was sharp now, his patience clearly wearing thin. "If you’ve got something to say, say it." Jeremy hesitated, his jaw tightening as if wrestling with the decision to speak. Finally, he exhaled and said a name that hit the group like a thunderclap. "Vivan”

The payback of Jeremy Xavier/Jessica Sage
Jeremy took a deep breath, his hand lingered on the doorknob as he contemplated his next move. The house seemed quieter than usual despite the bustling preparations for the wedding downstairs. The faint hum of conversations and the occasional sound of laughter floated up, a stark contrast to the turmoil in his chest. He couldn’t do this. Not without talking to Hope. Sliding on a pair of soft loafers, Jeremy made his way down the grand staircase, dodging staff and family members along the way. Everyone seemed too preoccupied to notice him—or maybe they were just giving him space, sensing the storm brewing beneath his calm exterior. Hope was still standing in the corner of the ballroom when he found her. She looked radiant in a custom-made gown, the delicate lace sleeves and beaded bodice catching the light in a way that seemed almost otherworldly. But it wasn’t her beauty that stopped him in his tracks—it was the look in her eyes. She was nervous “Hope,” he called softly. S

Jeremy remained composed, leaning back in his chair as the tense energy in the room thickened. His piercing gaze shifted to Vivian, a subtle smirk tugging at the corners of his lips."I said," Jeremy began, his voice calm but commanding, "that Ethan’s numbers don’t add up. And I have the evidence to prove it."Ethan's face turned pale, his confident demeanor cracking like fragile glass. "That's a bold accusation, Jeremy," he shot back, his voice shaky but attempting to sound firm. "You better have something substantial to back it up.""Oh, I do," Jeremy said, pulling a sleek tablet from his briefcase. With a few swipes, he cast a detailed projection onto the room's central screen. "Here’s the financial report you submitted last quarter, Ethan. Notice the inconsistencies in your revenue streams? Or should I point out the conveniently inflated figures?"The audience, a mix of high-profile investors and industry leaders, leaned forward in their seats, murmurs rippling through the crowd.

Everywhere felt silent, Vivan’s gaze pressed down like a powerful stare as confusion filled the room. Ethan stood frozen, his mouth agape as the realization of his predicament finally began to sink in. Vivian stpos up and took a step forward, with her heels echoing on the polished floor. "Ethan, as CEO of this company, my loyalty lies with the truth and the integrity of our organization. And right now, the truth paints a very clear picture." Her gaze hardened. "Security will escort you out. You’ll be hearing from our legal team shortly." Ethan’s face turned crimson, his fists clenching as two security guards moved towards him. “You’ll regret this, Vivian! This is far from over!” he spat, his voice trembling with rage. Jeremy watched impassively as Ethan was escorted out, the room buzzing with whispers. Once the door shut behind him, Vivian turned to face the board and the investors. Her expression softened, but her authority remained unyielding. "I apologize for the disruption," s

Jeremy exited the boardroom, the tension still crackling in the air behind him. The murmurs of investors and staff followed him, but he kept his composure as he walked briskly down the polished corridor. He turned a corner, lost in his thoughts, when he collided with someone.“Jeremy!” Vivian, his wife, exclaimed, steadying herself. She looked up at him, her expression a mix of surprise and curiosity. “How did the meeting go?”Jeremy smirked, straightening his suit jacket. “Let’s just say Ethan won’t be ruining any more of our plans.”Vivian raised an eyebrow, her interest piqued. “How did you take him down?”“I told you I had a plan,” Jeremy replied, his tone calm but firm. “There was no way I could let Ethan sit around and spoil the company. He underestimated how much evidence I’d collected.”Vivian’s eyes sparkled with admiration as she crossed her arms. “You’ve always been ten steps ahead. So, what happened?”Jeremy leaned against the wall, a faint smile playing on his lips. “I la
