Since the day I married to this family, I haven't had a peaceful morning at all. I don't even know what made me decide to marry their daughter. Something, I wish I could turn back time.

"Where is he?" Grandfather Wayne said whilst darting a look at his son. "Father, Jasper is in the room upstairs, and James is still in the ICU." Father Wayne replied shocked when his father walked towards him and slapped him. "Father?" Mother Wayne cried, shocked by what the old man did. She never expect the man who loved his son so much would dare raised his hand on him. "It seems you have forgotten something important. I know James was in danger, but it seems you have neglected your son." Grandfather Wayne said as he turned his back at them and walked away. "What just happened?" "Sir are you alright?" "Honey, why did father did that, didn't we just…" Before Mother Wayne could finish, she realized why her father was so angry. She hurriedly ran to the room and saw his father was next to the boy who had fallen asleep on the sofa. "You neglected him all these years, now he is back, you didn't even bother to check on him.

"Where have you been?" Jessica asked, shocked to see the man, drunk and looking like a beggar. She thought to herself as she looked at the man, 'How did I even end up in this kind of situation.' "Oh, dear, you're finally home. Did you know, while you were away, everyone has been so kind to me?" He said all drunk as he tried to straighten himself up and walk properly towards her. He was drunk, so he was unable to keep himself from walking in a straight direction. As he stumbled and fell onto the bush, he laughed, "Ha-ha, oh dear, I fell." Jessica blood boiled in annoyance. She was getting so frustrated by everything and now she returned home, finding the man she married all drunk and wasted. "Get up, don't embarrassed me at the middle of the night. Our neighbors are all asleep." In Jacob mind, 'What neighbors? Those so-called neighbor who do nothing but curse me for ruining your so-called perfect life.' "Ah, you're finally here.

"I'm coming." A voice inside responded as the door opened from the inside. "Oh, Jacob." "Happy Birthday." Jacob said as he handed the flower and small present he prepared for the elderly woman. "Oh, you remember." She replied with teary eyes as she accepted the bouquets and gifts. "You didn't have too." "Don't worry, the flowers were from the garden, and the gift isn't that much." Jacob explained to her, as she had always rejected all sorts of presents, he gave her, as she would always find them burdensome. "Very well then, thank you."

A week later, Jessica returned with big news for his family. Despite not having a ring on her fingers, the man has asked her out to be his girlfriend. However, the man stated he didn't want to be her secret lover anymore. He stated: Why must a man in my statured hide behind someone who can't even clean my own shoes.

As she stood back up, she decided to approach the man much closer to get a closer look. She was giggling all of a sudden as she stared at the man whilst seated beside him. "Do you know, your brother was my type back then or was it you? Well, the two of you look so alike, I'm not sure which one is which." As she looked at the man, her tears started to fall once again. To be frank, she didn't have the gut to do what was asked of her. But she needed the money for her son. "What should I do, I don't even know what to do." Jacob who was wide awake but had his eyes still closed, only listened to the girl's voice. He soon realized who she was. 'So, it the coffee girl.' "I'm not sure you can hear me, but, know that what I'm about to do is not something I wanted to do. I have no choice. My son, well he isn't my son really. When President Blake said I know what to do, I actually don't. I haven't even done it." Jacob, who was carefully listening, was at the point of laughing. She found the

Early the next day, Jacob was wide away sleeping next to the woman. He looked at her and realized, she does have some beauty in her. As he recalled what happened that night, his head suddenly ached, a bit from drinking too much wine, since he could fall asleep at all. "Hmm, you're awake." Leslie said as he stretched her hands in the air, still half asleep. Jacob smiled as he removed the hair covering her face, "Good morning." Leslie was startled by the man's sudden action as she didn't move at all. She didn't find any problem with what the man was doing, "Thank you." "You better get change, once you're ready, let's talk about what to happen next." "Okay." Leslie went ahead to check out the bathroom; it was her first time seeing such a huge bathtub. She thought that since she was given such an opportunity, why not take the chance to relax. Jacob didn't bother on what the woman was doing. He could briefly hear her giggling and talking to herself in there. He only smiled thinking o
