But today was different . No matter how long she waited , Stanley didn’t come .
Jessica , starting to panic , kept calling Stanley over and over – but all she heard on the other end was the cold , mechanical voice of the automated system .

“ Sorry , the number you are trying to reach is temporarily unavailable . Please try again later . ”
Stanley wasn’t answering her calls .
Bang !
In a burst of frustration , Jessica slammed her phone against the wall , her delicate face twisted in anger .
“ Jessica , don’t get upset . Your heart can’t stand it , ” Lilian said , trying to calm her down .
Jessica shoved Lilian away .
“ How can I not be upset ? Luna is useless ! I thought her little pregnancy trick would work – that we could set up a situation where her baby would die at Wendy’s hands , and then Wendy would be ruined for good . But she’s such an idiot ! Now Stanley knows that the woman from that night was Wendy . He’s probably with her right now ! ”
Jessica was terrified that Stanley would discover the truth about that night . Now , her worst fear had come true- he had found out .
They had been together for years , but had never crossed that line . Wendy was the first woman Stanley had ever been with . They say that a man never forgets his first woman .
Jessica was truly scared now .
Lilian’s face also darkened . Who would have thought Luna would be so ineffective ?
Now Stanley was with Wendy , and for the first time , he hadn’t come to be with Jessica .
This was a very dangerous sign .
“ Mom , I’m really scared . Do you think Stanley will find out the truth about what happened in that cave ? Do you think he’ll realize that I’m not the girl from back then , and that Wendy was the one he’s been searching for all along ? ”
Lilian’s face went pale . “ Quiet , Jessica ! ”
Jessica froze , quickly covering her mouth with her hand . Luckily , they were in their own house , and no one would
hear .
That secret needed to stay buried forever .
“ Jessica , never say that again . If Stanley finds out , it won’t just be you – it’ll be the end for our whole family ! ” Lilian warned .
Stanley was a dangerous man . If he discovered the truth , the consequences would be unimaginable . They couldn’t let him find out .
Jessica slumped onto the sofa . “ Mom , we should never have let Wendy marry Stanley in my place . We shouldn’t have let her get so close to him ! ”
“ Wendy’s just some poor country bumpkin , with no education and no job , ” Lilian spat . “ I thought Mr. Hawk wouldn’t look twice at her . Who knew he’d be so slowly drawn to her ! ”

At first , both Lilian and Jessica had looked down on Wendy never considering her a real threa
Perhaps fate had already decided things . Wendy had come into Stanley’s life , and now he was attracted to her .
“ Mom , what do we do now ? We can’t just sit back and let this happen . ”
Lilian thought for a moment . “ We have to pull out all the stops this time , Jessica . We have to make sure we win Mr. Hawk over and get him to divorce Wendy . ”
“ What’s the plan ? ”
Lilian whispered something in Jessica’s ear .
The next morning , Wendy slowly opened her eyes . As soon as she moved , every inch of her body ached , as though she had been run over by a truck .
Now , she was lying in the warm embrace of a well – built man . Stanley was still asleep , his arm around her , holding her close .
Wendy lifted her gaze to his handsome face .
Even in sleep , he remained regal , as though untouched by the world . Who would have guessed that he , the high and mighty CEO , would spend a wild night with her in a girls ‘ dorm room ?
The most unattainable man in Hovendale , now lying in her bed , covered in pink love – heart sheets .
