Jacqueline was lifted by someone. After walking for a while, they threw her down hard.
She hit the metal floor with a force that sent pain shooting through her body. She broke into a cold sweat, feeling as if her bones were about to shatter.
Her mouth was gagged, so she couldn't make a sound. Fear took over, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Then, she heard someone walking toward her.
A zipper slid open, and the bag covering her head was yanked off.
Her hair was a mess, and her eyes filled with terror. She tried to speak, but all that came out were muffled sounds. She looked completely terrified.
The man said, "Our leader told me to yank that bag off your head. If you suffocate, we'll have a hard time explaining it to Mr. Jacobson."
Then, he flashed her a disgusting smirk and ran his eyes over her. "You're quite pretty, but I can't touch you right now. Otherwise, I'd definitely have some fun with you."
Jacqueline's face went pale, and her body trembled even harder.
The man walked away soon after.
She heard the sound of waves and turned toward a small window. Through it, she saw the endless stretch of ocean. That was when it hit her—she was on a ship.
The ship rocked violently, making her dizzy and nauseous. She had never been on a ship like this before, and the motion sickness was unbearable. Before she knew it, she was throwing up.
But no one came to clean it up. The putrid smell of vomit lingered in the cramped space, making her reek.
She couldn't believe Stephen hated her this much. Even if he intended to bring her back, how could he throw her onto a ship like this? Did he really feel nothing for her anymore?
Jacqueline curled up in the corner, hugging her knees. The thoughts swirling in her mind only deepened her sorrow, and tears rolled down her face.
That night, the man opened the door and tossed something onto the floor. "Cover yourself. Don't freeze to death."
Then, he shut the door again.
Her body shook violently, her lips turning purple as if her blood had frozen in her veins.
She wanted to survive. So in the end, she could only pick up the filthy blanket and wrap it around herself.
…
Anne's bone marrow transplant was a success, and there were no signs of rejection. Now that her life was no longer in danger, Tessa could finally focus on other things without worry.
For the past few days, she had been tied up with case files and court hearings.
After hearing that Zachary had gone so far as to attempt suicide, she no longer felt safe staying at Marina Apartment.
Stephen had bought her a new villa just four or five miles from the firm. It wasn't far, and the commute would be easy for her.
On Saturday, she hired a housekeeper to help her pack and called a moving company.

Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
