Chapter 51

Weeks had passed, and now there were only three weeks left before Jacob and Charlotte’s wedding. Although Samson had started spending more time with Gloria—partly influenced by Aunt Marie’s energetic visit—and seemed to be making genuine efforts to hide his relationship with Vanessa, his former secretary, Gloria had not given up on the idea of winning back Jacob, her sister’s fiancé. The man she had once rejected for superficial reasons now haunted her thoughts.

Determined, she played her role as a devoted wife alongside Samson, but her heart was no longer in it. She realized that the feelings she had believed she had for Samson were nothing compared to what she felt for Jacob. She was willing to do anything to get him back, even if it meant manipulating and lying. Despite her well-orchestrated plans to seduce him, Jacob remained firm. The prospect of his marriage to Charlotte and his commitment to her constantly reminded him of the values he held dear.
