On a scorching hot day, everyone was enjoying themselves at the beach while Stefani quietly observed from afar. She wanted to swim and dive in to cool off, but even just standing up made her dizzy. She let out a deep sigh and glanced at Jacob. "I told you, you can go swimming. I'll just watch you and enjoy." She felt guilty that Jacob couldn't swim and have fun because he was watching over her. Jacob looked at her and smiled, gently rubbing her stomach. "I don't want to swim. I only invited you here because I knew you would enjoy the beach, and since you can't swim, I'd rather just keep an eye on you." Stefani looked at Jacob's hand massaging her stomach and couldn't help but close her eyes, feeling the comfort wash over her. Unbeknownst to her, she fell asleep and just woke up in bed. As she looked around, she realized it was already night. When she tried to find Jacob with her eyes, she couldn't locate him. She slowly stood up, about to go out and look for him, but her eyes were
Stefani's jaw dropped in awe as she stood in front of the magnificent church. The beauty captured in the photograph was nothing compared to the breathtaking sight before her eyes now. It was a grand church that required climbing up a flight of stairs before reaching the entrance, adding to its elegance. She couldn't help but imagine how wonderful it would have been if she and Jacob had gotten married here, creating even more beautiful memories in her mind. Jacob took her hand and helped her walk towards the stairs, ready to enter the church. As they walked, a smile never left Stefani's face, and she couldn't resist speaking her thoughts. "If we get married again, I want to be married in this church." Jacob paused in his steps, turning his full attention to Stefani before smiling. "We can get married today if you want." Stefani's eyes widened in disbelief, unsure if Jacob was joking or being serious, but she knew that Jacob could actually make his words come true, so she chuckled s
Jacob checked his pocket again to make sure that his phone was really not there. For the second time, he swallowed hard and marched back to the car, but before he could reach it, he was stopped in his tracks by Shaira."Jacob!" Shaira called out with a smile. "Are you waiting for me?"It seemed like Jacob's whole being froze in fear as he quickly looked around, afraid someone would see them.When he realized that everyone around him was a foreigner, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned his gaze to Shaira."I have just arrived. You can go inside first, I just need to go back to my car and you can wait for me inside. I don't want to prolong this and I want it to be over soon," he said directly and seriously.Shaira only smirked and didn't pay attention to him, instead, she wrapped her hand around his arm and dragged him along. Jacob couldn't react immediately due to shock. He only reacted when they were already inside the restaurant.He quickly removed Shaira's hand and looked at
Summer’s Point of ViewI married the youngest handsome rich guy like I've ever dreamed of.It was our third year anniversary and yet this was the gift he gave me. A divorce paper.I used to think that my life would be complete when he would choose to stay with me, but I was wrong. Those three years “together” felt hollow, as our relationship could not be considered a genuine marriage, since he never gave us the opportunity to build a family together.Why did he marry me again? Oh, I already had forgotten.He is rarely in my presence. Most of the time, I only hear about him on the TV news.[Breaking News! Steven Carter was spotted having dinner with Amby Black, a famous model and actress at a VIP Premium restaurant. It was widely believed that the two of them had had an intimate connection since childhood. Could this possibly be a suggestion that the feelings we believed had been extinguished will be reignited?]The news I heard didn't seem to register in my mind.In the darkness of my
Summer’s Point of View [One Month Later] “Just don’t push yourself too much. I am confident that you will make a speedy recovery.” I was relieved when the doctor told me the news and I couldn't help but smile, feeling the pain in my head subside. For the initial weeks following my awakening, it felt like my brain was being freshly plucked from my head and the pain was unremitting. The doctor told me that this was one effect of the memory loss I experienced from the trauma of the accident. To tell the truth, I didn't remember the details of how I got into the accident or what caused it. But I saw messages on my phone. “Thank you, Doc,” I replied to the female doctor, then returned her with a small smile. She smiled at me in return and then went on her way. The moment she stepped out of the room, I picked up my damaged phone again and swiped it open, reading the message that still left me baffled and confused. [I’m going home tonight and by the time I get home you should have
Summer's Point of ViewA heavy stillness descended upon us, so loud it felt like a deafening silence. My ears felt as though they were completely numb, and I could practically hear the chirping of crickets. The phrase that I shared with him was like a moment of enlightenment. Not even a trace of surprise was visible in his eyes anymore, but his expression had become a bit more gentle. Even though it seemed unlikely, I still held onto a spark of hope that perhaps what Celine had said about my husband was all made up and that the news had been twisted, intending to damage his reputation.Nonetheless, my hope dwindled to nothing when he asked me with a much colder and callous question, "When?"The once complete heart I had has been slowly breaking apart, leaving it more and more fragmented. My head was wrapped in thick gauze and I couldn't move because of the casts on my hand and foot. He turned a blind eye to my current situation. He had not bothered to ask a word about it since ente
Summer’s Point of ViewIn the space of a split second, he released his hold on my waist, pulled my wrist firmly, and shoved me solidly into the bed. Before I had the chance to respond, he swiftly lifted both my arms up above my head and buried his teeth in my shoulder.His movements were so fast that I could not keep up with what was going on. It was like I was soaring through the sky, pursuing something intangible and elusive. And as soon as I comprehended what he had done to me, I rapidly elevated my foot to kick him.“Mr. Carter, what on earth do you think you are doing?” I looked at him in surprise as I tried to kick him, yet he was quicker and locked my legs with his knee, then pushing his other knee in between my thighs, not allowing me to move.“What am I doing, you ask?” he asked, grinning slightly before glancing down at my somewhat exposed breast. “Don’t act virgin. We both are aware of who typically insists on sex and who made the loudest moans on the first night we spent t
My eyes again sought the woman who shamed me in front of those who praised my husband and his mistress. Nonetheless, instead of finding her, I noticed Steven's glue-like stare directed at me.His gaze was not fixed on me, but it was directed towards my neck and the slight exposure of my chest. Adding a unique touch to the formal event gown I was wearing, I had a slit design on the side of my legs.I was just about to return to him the strange stare he was giving me. However, when my eyes turned back to his and Amby's eyes, a woman entered behind them wearing a Maxi Dress and her echoing stilettos up to five inches long. The red of her lips matched the excitement of the evening and her ponytail was styled so high that it was appeared like she was the star of the night.She rushed in front of me while chewing gum and raising her eyebrows. After she had stopped, she gave me an impish grin that revealed her intentions to tease me."Long time no see, great pretender," she taunted.I return
