Chapter 37: Chapter 37

Performing on the stage, Jace has only wished for one thing; to see his wife from the crowd, watching and cheering to him.

His eyes were wandering through the crowds without anyone noticing his intentions until eventually his eyes saw his little wife.

An unexpected smile escaped his lips, just by seeing his little wife cheering for him, he got more energy and vibe to perform. Funny enough, Jace doesn't care about all the people that were cheering him up, his only concern is his little wife. At that moment, she was the only one that was existing to him.

After the performance, he met many top socialites who were impressed by his performance. Of course they know him but they actually wanted to congratulate him for the great performance. Philip was not left out.

After thinking that it was enough for the greetings and all that, he decided to go to his company and handle some things before going home. He knows that with Jake, his wife will be safe, after enjoying the night with her friends she will definitely come back home safely.

He was at the parking lot where lots of cars which belong to those that graced the event are. He was about to step into the car when his eyes caught a frail figure that looked like his wife. Placing much attention to the figure he found out that his wife is the one there.

She's wearing a black leather jacket which he knew quite well that doesn't belong to her, her hair is a bit messy. Why is her hair messy? Did something happen to her?

She's not alone, a guy is with her…. He recognized him, that's the same guy back in London. This guy was one of the reasons he cut his honeymoon short because he was jealous seeing him with his wife. What is the guy doing here and with his wife?

The door of his luxury car was still open for him to enter but his attention was now placed on the two figures at a close distance. Some of the cars parked at the parking lot were able to make the female and male figure at the other end not to see Jace but Jace was able to see them.

His jealousy is already burning, seeing the way his wife is smiling and discussing with the guy makes him so jealous. After a while, the guy opened the door for his wife; she stepped in and in a few seconds, the car drove out from the garage.

“Victor," his husky voice calls out to Victor who has noticed the tension but he can't believe that his boss is jealous. He thought that he didn't love his wife.

“Follow that car."

With that being said, he entered the car. Victor obeyed. took the driver's seat and immediately put the car into motion as they drove out from the parking lot.

Jace's mind was running wild as their car trail behind Darren's car. Where is he taking his wife to? She looked so comfortable with him, smiling and discussing with him.

After a few minutes' drive, he noticed that Darren's car was moving towards the route of his family mansion. It looks like he's taking Constance home. What about Jake? Why wasn't he the one taking her home?

Finally Darren's car stopped in front of the Williams mansion. Jace asked Victor to stop at a distance. Constance stepped out of the car and bade Darren goodbye before walking into the mansion.

“I want you to find everything about that guy," Jace said to Victor.

When Darren drove away, Victor asked;

“Are we still going to the company?"

“Yes."

Victor nodded, put on the ignition and drove away. After taking care of the things at the company, they drove home.

Going up to his room, he met his wife reading. Constance greeted him, she was really tempted to tell him that she loved his performance but she's so shy to do so.

Jace was still sulking over seeing his wife with another man. Taking his bath and putting on his robe, he was at the door of his dressing room when Constance's phone rang.

Constance picked up the call and placed the phone on her left ear. The expression she gave shows that she doesn't know who the caller is but after a few seconds, she smiled brightly.

“Darren."

After discussing with Darren, she cut the call and continued with her reading.

Meanwhile, she doesn't know that the harmless action of hers had gotten someone angry and jealous.

Jace is even surprised with the way he's getting jealous. He shouldn't care, why is he caring? Constance was so oblivious of what Jace is feeling at the moment, she's busy with her laptop. She didn't even know he heard her conversation with Darren.

Jace climbed the bed; and started working with his laptop, it will be a great distraction to him now. He has many questions that he's tempted to ask Constance but he shrugged them away. He doesn't want her to think the wrong side of it.

After a few minutes, he heard Constance's voice.

“You… your performance, it was great." After gathering so much courage, she was able to let off those words.

Jace was stunned, he stared up from his laptop and stared at her. Constance was so shy, she couldn't believe that she said those words. She stuck her eyes on her laptop, so shy to glance at Jace.

Jace smiled widely, it looks like whatever anger he's feeling inside of him has left.

Constance point of view:

I woke up the next morning, my husband wasn't on the bed; it seems that he has already left for work.

I couldn't believe what gave me the courage last night. I told my husband that his performance was good. Afterwards, I was so shy to go to bed but my husband carried me to bed.

I was flabbergasted, my face turned crimson. The only thing I did was shyly hide my face in his chest until we reached the bed. He carefully dropped me on the bed before sliding himself into the duvet and drew me so close to him. My cheeks nearly flame up due to blushing and smiling. I hugged him so tight, it's always comfortable sleeping with him.

I thought of telling him about what Dylan did but I shrugged it off. I will deal with Dylan myself. That bastard, I won't let him off.

As usual I got ready for school, I ate breakfast with grandfather and Hannah. Jake has already returned, he drove me to school. He asked me how I got home last night since I didn't call him. I told him that a friend drove me home.

When I arrived at school, Jocelyn ran up to me. She was so mad after reading the message I sent to her yesterday.

“That bastard Dylan, how dare he… oh! My goodness, I'm so angry right now, I feel like strangling that animal to death!" Jocelyn is still furious. It's lunch time and she's still angry with what Dylan tried to do to me.

I'm also angry and I'm thinking of a good punishment to give that bastard. Darren told me that he's going to help me punish him but I actually want to punish Dylan myself. I don't want to be that weak Constance, Dylan crossed the limit with me and I won't let him off the hook.

“Constance, I'm so angry right now. I want to go find Dylan and give him a punch. Who does he think he is? He could mess with my friend." Jocelyn's anger is seriously burning.

“Don't worry Jocelyn, Dylan will be punished. I won't let him get away with what he did to me. I want to set a very good trap for him. This time I want to handle things myself," I said.

“What's your plan? I'm going to help you."

I was about to speak up but someone interrupted me.

“You don't need to worry about Dylan, I have already handled him." I look up to see Darren smiling at me.

“Darren." My voice was laced with a bit of surprise. I have forgotten that he told me about registering in the school.

“May I sit?"

“Of course."

He drew out the seat and sat down. I could see Jocelyn's eyes on him, even the students at the cafeteria were all staring at him, smiling and giggling as if he's a movie star. It looks like he's going to be popular in this school, especially among girls. Well, Darren is a handsome young man. I noticed it the first day I saw him.

“Dylan had been punished, he will face a one month suspension," Darren said.

“What! How did it happen?" I asked.

“I threatened him. You don't need to worry about it. He admitted his crime to the school management. He was given a one month suspension and he must tender an apology to you in public."

“Tender apology to me in public?"

My eyes caught the stupid Dylan and his two friends walking up to me. I glared angrily at them. Seeing their despicable faces irritates me.

“Now, do what is required of you," Darren said in a rigid voice. The way he's staring at Dylan shows that he despises him just like me.

“I… am sorry for trying to rape you," Dylan mutters, he actually hesitated before saying that. It was until Darren gave him another murderous glare that he was able to speak up. His friends just have their eyes facing the floor in shame. I wonder how Darren was able to threaten to admit to his crime.

“No one heard that, say it out loud," Darren snapped. Dylan shot him a glare.

Nevertheless, he spoke nonchalantly; “I said I'm sorry for trying to rape you!"

He instantly felt embarrassed. The students are already staring at him and his friends and murmuring in shock because of what he said. I believe Dylan and his friends wish for the ground to open and swallow them.

Darren made it worse for them when he forced him to holler the apology once again, he forced him to kneel down. Darren took a video of him apologizing to me while kneeling down. It was such a good sight, the students are also taking video of him and his friends.

Darren said that they will only rise to their feet if I forgive them.

I felt on top of the world as I watched Dylan and his stupid friends begging for my forgiveness while kneeling down.

Of course, I didn't forgive them right away. I made sure they felt highly embarrassed before I forgave them. They quickly stood on their feet and ran away in shame.

This was such a good sight to behold. He will never think of showing his face to me ever again. I smile feeling satisfied.

Darren later uploaded the video of him asking for my forgiveness online. Regarding Dylan's prideful nature, I'm sure he will never come back to this school even after the one month suspension elapsed.
