"Aren't you engaged?" Jennifer asked. She doesn't want to be a mistress. "I already broke up the engagement for a while now. I am single" Eddie said. "I haven't gotten over what happened between us in the past. So starting a relationship with you is scary, ``Jennifer added. "You may not believe it. But I didn't rape you that night.

Emily eyed Jennifer. She seemed not to have realized that she is the daughter of the Zu family and Eddie's Fiancee. Eddie has no other option than to make her his bride. Otherwise, the Li's Group will suffer losses. "Have you suddenly gone dump?" Jennifer inquired. All the servants were happy that Yolanda had met her match. Enough of her bullying towards the servants in the house. "I am Emily, Eddie's Fiancee"Emily replied, looking at Jennifer with contempt. "Oh, you are that thing he got engaged to for the past two years and has never spared you a glance. Well I am his woman. The mother of his kids and the one he is in love with. I am not some Fiancee in name, I am his woman for real. We have actually fucked each other and last night, gush, Eddie is too good.

When they were through, Eddie ordered a soft wine. Jennifer knew the wine was expensive and can't imagine what their bills would be when they are done eating. As they sip the wine, Agatha who has been looking away from meeting Eddie's gaze. But then, she decided to steal a glance at him. Then their eyes locked. The latter had been gazing at her all along. Didn't she say she knows the size of his dick? She hadn't seen the dick and was already this shy. What would happen when she does? He chuckled and Jennifer heard him chuckling. She swallowed a ball of saliva and looked away. "I want you to do something for me,"Eddie said, staring at her. Jennifer then looked at him " What?" She asked. "Please don't hate me like you said. I don't think I can feel comfortable when I remember you said you hate me"Eddie asked. Jennifer smiled. "I said I hated you because you threatened me about taking the kids from me forever. But now that I can be with them, I don't see any reason why I

Eddie closed from the day's work and told Julia he had to be at the residence. Breaking his engagement with Yolanda was much more difficult than getting her engaged. Julia said he would accompany him. That way, the two brothers set out and headed to the residence. When they drove into the compound, they saw several cars parked and knew the members of Johnson’s family had arrived before him. He shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't afraid of anyone's cold stare. He took a few strides and walked into the large sitting room. He stood and looked around everyone present. Wanju and his wife Roy were present. Yolanda and Brian Zu were also present. Oh that's great. The immediate family are already seated. Emily had a Puffy face and must have cried a lot. Roy eyed Eddie with irritation. He dares to disgrace his daughter and takes sides with a mistress? How can he insist on cancelling his engagement with her daughter? Wanju Zu was tapping his foot on the floor, one can see his

She should have won their trust and not have made a fool of herself. Now they have lost face before this family. She should have told them the truth and they would have found ways to get everything twisted. But alas, they don't know what to say next. She went to Eddie's Villa at the Frede when she knew he wouldn't be around. Why? What was she thinking when she called her fiance's kids bastards? No man would marry a woman who doesn't love his kids. Even if the love or likeness is borne out of pretence, she should have endured and never to have caused a scene. Cheng and Carol Li were surprised. Didn't they say Eddie's woman bullied the hell out of her? But looks like the one who was bullying the other here is she. Clara can't help but be happy. He smiled and allowed the smile lingered on his lips, deliberately wanting the Zu's to see how excited he was. " Is this the woman you would want me to marry? Wouldn't she turn all the employees in my Villa to half human and robots o

Jennifer suddenly became uneasy. It's not quite Twenty minutes later she had a cold shiver run through her spine and she felt cold. It is not a pleasant feeling. She doesn't know if she experienced it when her mother died, because then, she was still a little girl. But that feeling was exactly what she felt when her father died. Why does she feel there's a bad omen? Feeling scared and goosebumps covering her entire body, she stood up and told the kids to play alone by themselves. She went into the bedroom that she shared with Eddie. But as soon as she stepped in, her eyes rested on Eddie's Large portrait that hung on the wall. She saw the picture and shivered again. Eddie? Jennifer mumbled to herself. Something had happened to him. He is in danger somewhere. Didn't he say to his father he was going to come to see him? At least when he was talking to his father earlier in the day, she eavesdropped on his conversation. "Eddie, are you alright!" Jennifer asked but sh

"What happened to him?"Jennifer asked. She was obviously asking Julia about Eddie's issue. "There was a meeting because of his breakup with Emily…" Julia explained. He told her he was the one aimed but Eddie saved him and got shot. He told her the doctors after the surgery assured them that he was out of harm's way but might take days before he comes around. But from what they said a while ago, he believed he would come around sooner than they expected. Jennifer asked where the bullet got him and Julia said a little below the heart region and the internal organs were not affected. But a rip was injured and might take a while for it to completely heal up. He lost a lot of blood and that contributed to his paleness. Jennifer said she believed he would come around soon. Meanwhile, she asked What had been done to Zu's master. Julia and Jennifer were busy with each other's company when Amanda and his wife arrived at the police station. Wanju Zu and his daughter Yoland

In the hospital, Julia told Agatha to return to the Villa. He would be there to look after Eddie but the latter said no. He should go home and rest while she stays with him. They both argued and eventually decided to spend the night in the hospital with Eddie. Since The hospital belongs to Li's family, Julia easily found a lounge and Agatha opted to sleep on the sofa. Julia said she could press the button if she needs help or wants a doctor to come around. Meanwhile she could call him anyFrede. When Jennifer was left alone with Eddie, she got closer to him and said "after you kissed me earlier today, I thought we would continue tonight. I didn't know you would be lying here unconscious, Eddie. Since you couldn't kiss me, I think I should kiss you goodnight" She moved closer and planted a featherlight kiss on his temple. She let her lips remain on him for a few more seconds before returning to lie on the sofa. She covered herself with a quilt and soon drifted off to

“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.

"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
