Jennifer screamed loudly and woke up. What happened was just a dream.
Tsk!
"Jennifer, what's wrong with you?"
Shane opened the door and immediately approached Jennifer who was sitting on the bed. His face looked pale with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
“Honey, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?” asked Shane. He wiped the sweat that was flowing with a tissue.
Jennifer looked away and held back Shane's hand which wanted to touch her again.
"It's okay, what time is it now?" Jennifer asked.
“Eight o'clock, darling. You've slept long enough, you know!” said Shane. The way he treats Jennifer is as sweet as ever.
Jennifer nodded slowly, then pushed the blanket off her body and got out of bed. However, Shane's hand swiftly stopped Jennifer and pulled her body towards him.
"What?!" Jennifer exclaimed, she looked uncomfortable and angry.
Shane seemed to ig

Seeing this, it seems that James is destined to be a woman who always comes to ruin Jennifer's relationship. Of course, Jennifer and Shane's relationship will become more complicated.James immediately let go of her hand which was still in Shane's grasp, she then looked down blushing. James couldn't stand looking at each other for too long. Shane's gaze was too crazy like a hungry eagle."Just sit here, where are you going to take the drink?" asked Shane."Um... Over there, my friends are waiting," said James, she seemed to be pointing towards the swimming pool.They were indeed in a well-known bar with a view of the pool directly facing the beach."Oh, with your partner too, huh?" Shane asked again. Of course, he asked this question only to find out more about James's status, because if James stated that she didn't have a partner, Shane would take quick action to win the woman's heart. Moreover, James is now ten times as crazy as she was when she

James turned her gaze to Shane and answered, "Of course I hate it! That bitch is so annoying! I used to fall in love with Eddie, I admit that I was wrong because I teased and tried to pull Eddie into my arms. Yes, you know, as a wife, Jennifer would be angry. However, I think he really acted stupidly and outrageously. Moreover, he also restrained Eddie because he was jealous of me. I think she doesn't deserve to be Eddie's wife. Now it's proven, right? She is indeed naughty and a bitch. I never believed that she was a good woman! You may have heard that Jennifer was involved in an extramarital affair and stepped down from her company as main director, apart from that she also exposed Eddie. How could he not be grateful to have a perfect life!"Shane gasped, he didn't expect that Jennifer's fall from her position as main director would be heard everywhere. However, another interesting thing that Eddie highlighted was the affair that James mentioned. It felt quite amusing, beca

Shane opened his eyes and got up while turning to James, he then said, "Why is that? You are like a virgin girl who finds it difficult to find a man. A beautiful woman like you, I think it's very easy to have a handsome partner."James just smiled. It was clear that it was difficult for her to have a partner because her name was already quite well known among men in the capital as the mistress of old, philandering men. Shane is just a Los Angeles kid who won't be touched by the gossip surrounding James."I told you earlier, most of the people who want to be close to me are just ordinary men who don't interest me at all. You know, my taste is Eddie class and you are one of the people who can melt me tonight. "Sorry if I'm too confident, but I guarantee you are very lucky to be able to enjoy my body," said James.Shane was happy to hear that a woman was full of confidence like James, as if she was looking in a mirror. Shane also applied the same sentence to every

The morning passed so quickly, the sound of the bell woke Jennifer up. When he woke up, he realized that Shane had not returned. Jennifer then got up from her bed to make sure the sound of the bell came from Shane. Not because she wanted to wait for him, but because Jennifer wanted to contact Satria. If Shane came home, it is very likely that the man would immediately sleep for a full day, of course this would benefit Jennifer from using her existing cellphone.As the bedroom door opened, Shane appeared, greeting Jennifer warmly."Good morning, my dear!"That face looked ten times more excited, Jennifer noticed that, but she didn't want to make a big deal out of it.When Shane wanted to give Jennifer a hug, the woman immediately refused because the smell of alcohol was too strong.“How many bottles did you finish? And how many women have you slept with? "Your body smells so bad, I think what's flowing is no longer blood but alcohol," said Jen

Eddie's face looked pale because he was thinking too much about Jennifer and Evelyn. Even though he didn't want to think about Jennifer, the image of the woman's face kept appearing as if beckoning for help. The thing he really hated was that he felt uncomfortable because of Jennifer's shadow. Eddie seemed to feel like he had failed as a husband because he had not succeeded in educating and protecting his wife.In fact, it was all Jennifer's own fault that she shouldn't have to worry about. But, what can I say, Eddie is really too kind and not the type of person who 'has the heart'. Eddie was only afraid that bad news would come regarding Jennifer's safety.Sometimes it occurred to me that Jennifer could have been killed because of Shane, the bad thoughts of his imagination made Eddie lose his appetite. In addition, Evelyn's condition is still not recovered and he keeps calling himself and Jennifer delirious. Moreover, Evelyn was taken to hospital, which made Eddie eve

Jennifer smiled, even though her heart was anxious and very annoyed with Shane, she didn't want to show it. This was all for the sake of being able to talk to Evelyn.“Honey… how?” asked Jennifer, she couldn't even continue her sentence because she was so annoyed with the man in front of her."What do you mean by that?"Shane got up and kissed Jennifer's face tenderly."I promised this morning. I want to contact my son, is that okay?" asked Jennifer, quietly.As soon as Shane's face changed, Jennifer immediately panicked because she was afraid that Shane would change his mind and not cancel everything he had planned earlier. However, this fear turned out to be just a myth.Shane immediately hugged him and whispered in his ear, "Yes, darling. Yeah sure."Jennifer let go of the hug and kissed Shane's face. The fake kiss, which he was actually reluctant to do, was just enough to show that he was very happy and grateful

Mary's eyes reflexively shifted to the presence of Satria, who was also stunned by watching this latest drama.“What did you do to Mary!” Satria snapped.Roland turned his head and stared at him like an eagle about to tear its prey apart."Who are you?! I have nothing to do with you! What do you want to do to this slut!”“Hey, watch your mouth. Don't call her a whore when you are also using her and taking advant

“Eddie, you need to think this through,” his secretary, Lisa, urged as she shuffled through papers on his desk. “Keeping your distance from Agatha might not be the best strategy right now.”Eddie leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. “You don’t understand. I can’t afford to get too close to her, not after everything that’s happened.”“Look, I get it. But you’ve already agreed to help her with her family’s company. If you cut ties now, it’ll look suspicious,” Lisa replied, raising an eyebrow.Eddie sighed heavily. “It was a mistake to agree to that in the first place. I should have never involved myself in her family’s business.”“Eddie, this is a complicated situation. You know Agatha needs your support,” Lisa pressed, her voice steady. “She’s promised to start fresh, to make this work. You can’t just back out.”“Her promises don’t mean anything if it jeopardizes my own company,” Eddie countered, his voice rising slightly. “I have to think about my future, my business. I can’

“Eddie!” Jennifer called out as she stepped into the house, her heart racing.Eddie emerged from the kitchen, looking worn out and a little worried. “You’re back! How was your trip?”“It was beautiful, but… we need to talk,” Jennifer said, struggling to keep her voice steady.“Talk about what?” Eddie asked, leaning against the kitchen counter, sensing the tension in the air.“Andrew… he wants to marry me,” Jennifer blurted out, the words escaping before she could rein them in.Eddie’s brow furrowed. “What? You’ve got to be kidding me. You just got back from a vacation! Why would you even consider that?”“I know it sounds crazy, but he’s serious. He wants me to leave everything and be with him,” she replied, panic rising in her chest.“Leave everything? Jennifer, are you really thinking about this? What about us?” Eddie’s voice rose slightly, betraying his frustration.“I’m not saying I will! I just… I need time to figure things out,” she stammered, trying to make sense of her feelings.

Eddie leaned back in his chair, staring out the window as he waited for Agatha to arrive. The morning sun filtered through the glass, casting shadows across his desk, but the warmth offered little comfort. His mind raced with possibilities, scenarios of how this confrontation would play out. He could almost hear the tension humming in the air, a warning that things were about to get messy.When Agatha finally entered, she was all business, her heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor. Her expression was calm, but Eddie noticed a flicker of something in her eyes—nervousness, perhaps, or anticipation.“Eddie,” she greeted, her tone cool. “You wanted to see me?”“Have a seat,” he replied, gesturing to the chair across from him. He needed to maintain control, to keep the upper hand in this conversation.Agatha sat down, her posture elegant, but there was a slight tension in her shoulders. “What’s this about?”“Let’s not pretend, Agatha. You know exactly why I wanted to talk to yo

"Eddie, calm down. You're jumping to conclusions." Agatha’s voice was smooth, too smooth for Eddie’s liking. She sat across from him, legs crossed, sipping her tea as if the world wasn’t on fire.Eddie clenched his fists, barely able to control his rising anger. His office felt smaller, suffocating, as if the walls were closing in on him. “Calm down? Agatha, one of my subsidiaries just got shut down for a violation, and it happens to be the one your man, Charles, oversees. You expect me to believe that’s just a coincidence?”Agatha didn’t even flinch. She set her cup down delicately, her sharp eyes meeting his. “I understand your frustration, Eddie. But accusing me without evidence won’t solve your problem. Charles has been nothing but loyal, and whatever happened at that company was not my doing. You’re letting your emotions cloud your judgment.”Eddie’s jaw tightened. “You think this is about emotions? Agatha, I’ve been in this business long enough to know when something stinks. I j

"Jennifer, you need a break. We've both been working nonstop, and honestly, I think a vacation would do us both some good." Andrew's voice was steady but held a hint of concern as they sat across from each other in the quiet corner of a café.Jennifer stirred her coffee absentmindedly, her mind elsewhere. "I don’t know if I’m ready to go anywhere, Andrew. There’s too much going on, and I can’t just leave. Especially with everything at the office." She sighed, the weight of Frank's death still lingering in her voice, even though she had started to heal.Andrew leaned forward, his eyes locking onto hers. "You can't keep burying yourself in work, Jen. It's not healthy. You’ve been carrying a lot on your shoulders, and I get it. But you need to take care of yourself too. Just a few days away. Let’s go somewhere quiet, where you don’t have to think about business or Frank for a while."Jennifer hesitated, chewing her lip. She knew Andrew was right, but the thought of leaving everything beh

“Grace, I need to know exactly what’s going on,” Eddie demanded, pacing around his office. His voice was sharp, filled with frustration. “We can’t afford any more surprises, and this Wilford situation has already cost us enough.”Grace, sitting calmly across from him, nodded. “I understand, Mr. Cameron. I’ve already started pulling reports from the other subsidiaries. But, honestly, I think we need to have a bigger conversation about oversight. This isn’t just about Wilford anymore.”Eddie stopped pacing and turned to face her. “What do you mean?”She handed him a folder. “I’ve been digging, and there are minor discrepancies in a few other subsidiaries as well. It’s not at the level of Wilford, but it’s enough to raise concerns.”Eddie flipped through the documents, his brow furrowing deeper with each page. “How did this happen under my watch? I had systems in place, checks and balances—how did we miss all of this?”Grace gave him a sympathetic look. “Honestly, I think the company has

Eddie sat at his desk, staring at the numbers on the financial report in front of him. His heart sank as he scanned the figures again, hoping he had somehow misread the data. But there was no mistaking it—his company had taken a sharp hit, and the numbers reflected a significant loss.“This doesn’t make sense,” he muttered to himself, furrowing his brow. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed his personal secretary, Grace.Moments later, Grace appeared at the door, clipboard in hand, her face calm as ever. She was always efficient, always on top of everything, and Eddie trusted her implicitly. But today, something felt off, and he needed answers.“Grace,” he said, his voice sharp with urgency. “What’s going on with the numbers? Our revenues have dropped drastically. I need you to dig into this and find out where the problem lies.”Grace nodded, her fingers already flying over her tablet as she pulled up the latest data. “I’ll get to it right away, Mr. Cameron. I’ll have a detailed

Eddie paced back and forth in his office, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. He had just read Jennifer’s text: *"We’re heading to Aruba. I’ll be fine, Eddie. Don’t worry."* His gut told him something was off, but he didn’t want to overreact—at least not yet.He opened his contacts, his thumb hovering over a few trusted names. Maybe he could ask one of them to keep an eye on Jennifer while she was away. But before he could make a decision, Agatha appeared at the doorway, her presence calm and poised.“Eddie, what’s going on?” Agatha’s voice was smooth, almost soothing. She noticed the tension in his shoulders, the way he clenched his phone like it was the last tether holding him together. Eddie exhaled heavily, running a hand through his hair. “Jennifer just texted me. She’s heading to Aruba with Andrew. Something feels… wrong.”Agatha raised an eyebrow, stepping further into the room. “Aruba? With Andrew? That doesn’t sound too bad, does it?” Her voice had a lilt of casualness, a

Andrew watched Jennifer run toward the car, her decision clear as she fumbled with her phone. His face twisted in frustration, his mind racing. He had spent weeks meticulously planning this, gaining her trust, making her think he was her escape. And now, Eddie had ruined everything. His phone buzzed in his pocket, but he ignored it, clenching his fists. Jennifer had already stepped away, halfway across the tarmac, but Andrew wasn’t ready to let this go so easily. With determined steps, he caught up to her, his voice low but urgent as he reached out to grab her arm. "Jennifer, wait."Jennifer stopped, startled, but didn’t turn around immediately. She seemed to wrestle with herself, not quite pulling away from him yet. Andrew took that as a sign to keep going."Just listen to me," Andrew urged, trying to soften his tone. "You don’t have to believe anything Eddie says. He’s trying to confuse you, make you doubt your own decisions."Jennifer shook her head, her voice barely above a whis
