"What kind of business partners would eat each other's lips hungrily?" --- Jessica thought her life was perfect. She thought she had a perfect husband. Good looking, good career, and good in bed, too. Until one day, her perception changed completely when she saw her husband kissing someone else. As if that wasn't bad enough, the person her husband was kissing was a man. She was hurt and disappointed, and she wanted to end things with her husband. Unfortunately, her husband was not only a philanderer but also a master blackmailer. No one knew what sins she committed in the past, but how she was forced to stay with her husband after everything that happened was like a punishment. Her life seemed to be in the grip of her husband, but who would have thought that she was slowly being strangled by a thread with one end held by her husband and the other end held by her husband's boyfriend? One slowly pulled the thread, and the other was reluctant to let go. Jessica was trapped by a thread that, slowly but surely, turned tangled. Unexpected pregnancy, unexpected deceptions, and no one would be able to guess the ending of this story. Would she be able to escape from the entanglement of the thread? Or maybe she would be trapped forever?
View MoreJessica had only known Tyler for a few months, while Noah had known that man for years. Even though the two men weren't always together, their bond remained strong, even fate seemed to support them because it finally brought them together again after years of separation. That was why Jessica couldn't compare herself to her husband when it came to Tyler, and maybe that was the reason why she could guess that Tyler wouldn't just let Noah go even if she came in between them. While Jessica's mind was preoccupied with her insecurities, she suddenly gasped when her hand in her lap was suddenly enveloped in warmth. When she turned her gaze to the left, she could see the warm hand belonged to Tyler. However, the warmth only enveloped her hand for a moment because Tyler immediately withdrew his hand before using it again to support his other hand gripping the steering wheel. āI'm right-handed, so I can't use my left hand to drive for too long. That's w
Jessica had grown closer to Tyler in the past month before she decided to move away from him. While the two of them were still close, Tyler told her that he didn't have a car. He said that he had to restart his life since his family kicked him out many years ago, and he had to leave everything behind, including money. He started it all with nothing in his pocket, and even after so many years had passed, he was still a poor man who didn't have much money in his wallet. A few months ago, his life started to change after he had a project with Button Boss, but he was still not rich enough to buy a car or maybe a house. That's why he accepted Noah's offer to live in his apartment, but he still didn't own a car to this day. That was also the reason why he could only drive Jessica's car today even though he confidently said he would send her to meet Noah's mother. Jessica sat in the passenger seat, while Tyler sat behind the wheel. No one said anything as the car contin
[āI learned the address from her assistant. She didn't look well at the party, but she insisted on going home alone in that condition. I was worried if something bad happened to her, and that's why I asked her assistant for her address. Thankfully, her assistant was willing to give me the address.ā] That was how Tyler managed to save himself from Noah's suspicion a week ago, and Jessica almost snorted at how well he used his mouth when it came to making excuses. Tyler did manage to save himself from Noah, but Jessica failed to protect her address because of Tyler's loose mouth. In the end, Noah stopped the car right in front of her apartment building, and she got out of the car before slamming the door hard. She also didn't bother to thank the two men and quietly entered her apartment building. That was what happened a week ago, and today was the day she had to go to Noah's mother's house to celebrate her birthday. It was almost seven in the evening, bu
Why did Jessica look so annoyed with Tyler? The answer was none other than how the man dared to kiss her in front of everyone on the rooftop during the party. Of course, it was just a kiss on the cheek, but Jessica was worried that people would be suspicious of their relationship. After all, there was indeed 'something' between them, and she was trying hard not to reveal it in front of everyone. That was the reason why she treated Tyler coldly like when they first got to know each other a few months ago, but she still accepted Noah's offer who said he would send her home tonight. She was exhausted, and she was worried that something bad would happen to her if she insisted on walking to get a taxi. That was why she was sitting in the back seat of the black car tonight. She was sitting right behind the driver's seat, and the driver was none other than her husband. From her position, she could see how Tyler, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to the driver's
Unfortunately, the person she wanted to avoid the most was the person who silently followed her when she went down from the rooftop to the ground floor. Even when she was in the elevator, the person acted as her shadow as he stood behind her without saying anything. Jessica also chose to see the person as her shadow and pretended not to see him. Unfortunately, once again she had to meet another person she most wanted to avoid when she finally came out of the hotel and stood in front of the hotel lobby. Originally, she planned to call a taxi and go home quietly, but a familiar black car had just stopped in front of the lobby, and a familiar man had just gotten out of the car. āWhy are you here, Noh?ā It wasn't Jessica who asked that question, but the question came from Tyler who was standing next to her when they were in front of the hotel lobby. Indeed, it was Noah who had just gotten out of the black sedan and was standing in front of the two people wh
Jessica wouldn't sit still this time. Today, since it was announced that there would be a party tonight, she was forced to just listen and not complain at all. There was no room for opinions, and that was why she ended up joining the party even though she didn't want to. When Karl started his crazy game, she also had no choice but to join in. However, when Karl even dared to cross the thick line that she had drawn, she couldn't take everything and began to show her strong disapproval. āCalm down, Jess!ā Karl tried to calm her down. āThis is just a game, and I have no bad intentions. Your husband isn't here, and Tyler is your husband's best friend, right? Your husband's best friend should be your best friend too, so it's okay to kiss him because it's just a challenge. Your husband will not scold you.ā āJust because my husband isn't here, so it's okay if I cheat?ā Jessica once again questioned her boss in an increased tone, showing that she was even more
Jessica cursed her luck tonight. She half-heartedly followed the crazy game initiated by her boss, and she didn't expect to be played by her boss like this. In the first round of the game, she could breathe a sigh of relief because the ugly, bloody head did not suddenly pop out of the ball when the ball was in her hands. Instead, the bloody head only appeared when the ball was in Lisa's hands. She looked calm even though her other colleagues felt sorry for the curly-haired girl, but now she was the one who felt pity from her colleagues after hearing how Karl casually asked her to make a choice. The pink ball was still in her hand, and Jessica silently cursed at it before she took a deep breath and raised her gaze so that she was looking at Karl. āCan you skip me, Karl? You still remember how I fainted a week ago, right? I'm still sick right now, and I might pass out again if you keep forcing me to do something I don't want to,ā she tried to trick her boss in orde
It was Lisa that āthe ghostā chose on the first round of the game, and Karl laughed in amusement as he asked the girl, āSo, what will you choose, Miss Tomminson? Dare, drink, or dance?ā There must be a trap in every choice Karl made, and that was why Lisa didn't make a decision straight away. Instead, she asked, āWho will give me a dare if I choose it, sir? And what drink will I get? If I choose to dance, can I dance randomly?ā āAh, I did forget to explain further about the available options,ā Karl nodded his head several times while admitting his mistake, but then continued, āI am the creator of the game, and I am also the boss here, so it is I who give you a dare if you choose it. For drinks, of course, I will give the most famous here, namely The White Zombie. Lastly, regarding dancing, you are required to do a funny dance, and you must not stop until everyone here laughs.ā "..." Lisa seemed silent after receiving an explanation from her superior, bu
Following Karl's orders, everyone gathered in a circle in front of the stage in the outdoor area of the rooftop bar. There were around thirty people there, and although they were actually from different backgrounds, they blended as they formed a circle in front of the stage. Jessica was one of the people gathered there. Standing to her left was Tammy, while to her right was Matt. She didn't even know why she ended up standing side by side with the superstar, but she assumed it was better than Tyler standing next to her. Yes, she managed to avoid Tyler this time, and her blue eyes could see how the raven-haired man was standing across from her in the circle, and she could also see how he was watching her the whole time. She could only turn away from that man in the end. "Everyone has gathered here, right?ā Karl finally spoke again. He was also standing in a circle, and he was actually standing not far from Jessicaāonly four people separated them, includi
