“Do you still want me to get out of bed? I still have important matters to attend to today,” Emmeline said. “Important matters? What’s up?” Abel asked. Emmeline recalled Janie’s words and said, “I just want to get some clothes for our honeymoon.”

“Want me to accompany you?” Abel asked joyfully. Emmeline was about to become his bride. Although their kids were already four years old, he was still looking forward to their wedding. “There’s no need for that. It would be boring for a man like you,” Emmeline replied.

“Alright. Be sure to call me if you’re in trouble,” Abel said. He kissed Emmeline on the lips. “I will,” Emmeline said as she nodded. “Well, it’s time to get out of bed. I made breakfast for you,” Abel said. “Thanks, Hubby. You’re the best!” Emmeline said as she kissed him.

Abel pulled the blanket away and crouched down to help her put on her slippers. He caressed Emmeline’s head and said, “Go wash up while I set the table.” Emmeline nodded and entered the bathroom.

After breakfast, Abel went to Ryker Group while Emmeline rested in bed. Her legs felt weak after last night with Abel. She began to feel uneasy as she did not receive any messages from Janie. She decided to text her first. “Janie, can we meet now?”

After a while, Emmeline received a reply. “I’m still at Falmouth. Let’s meet up here.”

“We looked for you at Falmouth. Why didn’t you meet us?”

“I didn’t want to see Benjamin.”

“Mr. Benjamin has been looking for you ever since you left. He’s worried about you.”

“I know.”

“Then why aren’t you coming back?”

“I want to see you. There’s something we need to talk about.”

“Alright. Which hotel are you at?”

“I’ll let you know when you reach Falmouth.”

“You’re still keeping things from me?”

“I’m not. I haven’t entered a hotel yet.”

“Fine. I’ll be driving there. Let me know soon.”

“No problem. Don’t tell Abel or Benjamin about this. I just want to meet you.”

“You got it.”

Emmeline got out of bed and changed into white sportswear. Kendra was out for groceries so Emmeline did not inform her. She drove her silver Bugatti towards Falmouth. The trip would take up to five hours. She planned to tell Abel about it when she returned.

If Emmeline returned home late, she would receive another punishment from Abel. She could not bear it as he was too good at it. Her legs were still feeling weak as she was driving. She left Struyria and drove on the highways.

After two hours, Falmouth was at the next exit. Suddenly, a black car drove into the lane from the side. Emmeline nearly collided with the car. She maneuvered to the other lane and prepared to overtake the car. However, the car switched lanes and blocked her path.
