Chapter 27%
After hanging up, Jason rubbed his temples, clearly frustrated.
Ava’s tear–streaked face and her fragile state were messing with his head. He couldn’t shake the image of Emma, the woman who had once loved him deeply, now acting like a cold blade, stabbing him without mercy.
He didn’t get it–why was she doing this?
Was it just jealousy?
The next day. Jason’s phone rang. It was the private investigator.
“Mr. Reed, I’ve checked it out. The hospital is real, but there’s no record of Ava being admitted there.“))
Jason’s grip tightened on his phone, anger bubbling up inside him. He clenched his jaw, trying to keep his cool. “Are you sure?” “Absolutely,” the investigator replied. “I also looked through immigration records–Ava hasn’t traveled anywhere recently.”
He paused before adding, “Oh, and I intercepted a secret phone call of hers. She’s been in touch with someone
The investigator sent over the recording. Jason clicked on it, and a chill crept down his spine, settling somewhere cold and heavy in his chest &
“Remember, I want her to disappear completely Make it look like an accident, understand? Money is no object…”
It hit him like a freight train–Ava’s critical illness notice?!
It was a total fake
Everything Emma said had been spot on.!!
Outside the studio’s floor–to–ceiling windows, Jason stood out like a sore thumb. Tall and stiff, he was holding a massive bouquet of roses, kneeling on one knee ä
He knew Emma might not even notice him, so he decided to make a spectacle of 11.
Jason kicked off a live stream, with the bold title flushing
Jason passionately begs for reconciliation. Emma, please forgive me!
“Emma, I know I was a jerk before, I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have doubted you. I shouldn’t have made you carry all of this alone. deeply regret losing you. Without you, my life feels empty, like a hollow shell. Please, give me another chance. Let me make things right.

He pulled out a small box from behind his back, opening it to reveal a sparkling diamond ring.
“Emma, marry me! I’ll spend the rest of my life making up for my mistakes. I’ll love you, cherish you, and never let you suffer again! If don’t come out, I stay on my knees all night long, until you forgive me!”
Emma’s POV:
The comment section blew up immediately.
[Wow! He’s an actor! This performance deserves an Oscar
[Ugh, Jason Reed, that asshole, is at it again! Emma, come out and slap him!!
[My heart goes out to Emma! She’s been deceived by this guy for so long!]
[Waiting for Emma to slap him! Got my snacks and water ready!
I stood in front of the windows, watching Jason kneel below and a cold smile tugged at the comer of my lips.!!
This drama was something else.
I pulled out my phone, snapped a few pictures, and posted them on my social media with the caption:
[Today’s source of happiness, let’s all enjoy.
As expected, the comments flooded in
[Emma is amazing! Let him kneel
[Is this guy serious? He was so quick to dump you, and now he’s begging to get back together?]
[Girl, don’t give in! That jerk isn’t worth your timel
Reading through the comments, a small smile tugged at my lips.
It felt so good to have my friends in my comer.!!
Meanwhile, Chase, who had been standing next to me, chuckled softly. He pulled out his phone, snapped a picture of Jason outside, and posted
[The show’s begun.]X
He looked at me with a grin. “Emma, how about I go down and beat him up for you? He’s starting to get on my nerves.”
