At the Groove's mansion,
Jace felt bad for Milli and felt the urge to comfort her. Having confirmed that she wasn't a greedy woman and a golddigger, he decided to accept the fact that he had a thing for her.
He was used to comforting his little cousin, so he easily calmed Milli. After that, he decided to take care of her. He felt like he had the urge to keep her safe and happy.
Milli on the other hand didn't notice the change in the gaze and attitude of this usually cold man. She just felt too comfortable in his embrace to think of anything else.
Wait! Weren't they on the dining table a few minutes ago? How did she end up crying in his arms? And why were they suddenly sitting on the couch?
"Uhm Mr. Groove, I think I will be fine on my own now. I will take my leave. Thank you for your help," she said retracting from his embrace and thanking him with a genuine smile.
As he saw her leaving in a hurry, he sighed in distress. Such a silly girl. Nevertheless, it was a very cute action coming from her. Oh, that smile! That smile melted his heart. That one that could lure any man into sin.
Taking his phone, he texted Jason and Oliver and told them to meet tonight at their favorite and usual snack bar. They instantly agreed. It seemed as if they had many things to share.

At Hamilton's mansion,
Arriving home, Amber got shocked when she learned from the butler that her dad left and went to see her inlaws to discuss her marriage.
She panicked and the first thing that came to her mind was to call Jason. She hurriedly dialed his number and fortunately, he picked it up.
As Jason was just bringing Amber to her house, he was still driving when he received her call. So before answering it, he first parked it on the roadside.
After learning from Amber that Mr. Hamilton went to his parents' house to talk about the marriage, he got impatient and happy. Finally, they were going to be one.
'But why did she sound stressed? Wasn't she supposed to be excited like any other girl? Isn't she happy to marry me?' these questions kept playing in his head just like a song while resuming his driving.
Pushing aside all negative thoughts, Jason decided to concentrate on driving first. He will deal with it later. Firstly, he needed to meet his parents as he just received a message from them asking him to come home soon.
After dealing with it, he will deal with his Love. She was so stubborn. Thinking about what he was going to do to her brought a grin to his face.
On the other side, Amber got stressed because of the sudden news she got from the butler. Even though she liked Jason very much, she had no intention of getting married now.
She knew nothing about him, not even where he is working. And when she asked her father, he said that she must ask him herself. She sighed desperately.
Why was life so unfair to her? Her life used to be perfect. She usually got everything she wanted and was praised and pampered by most. She couldn't understand how things changed by then.
She couldn't take it. This was the first time people near her kept things from her. She was not used to being turned around the bush, being lied and being kept in the dark.
Then, the small bulb in her head lightened as an idea just popped up in her mind. 'Why didn't I think about it before?' she thought as she started scolding herself mentally for her stupidity and ignorance.
She went on Google and typed his name 'Jason Willow'. But on seeing the information that was displayed in front of her, her eyes widened in horror. Without thinking, she picked up her phone and dialed his number.
After ringing a few times, he finally picked up the call. Without even letting him speak, she immediately started scolding him "Liar! You are a liar. Why did you do that to me? What did I do wrong for me to deserve that treatment?"
On the other side of the call, Jason who was initially very happy because his Love finally decided to call him, got shocked when directly after answering, she just started screaming at him without even greeting him.
And what got him more stunned is that she was accusing him without even allowing him to explain himself while he isn't aware of what she was reproaching him for.
"You are the CEO of 'Dreamland Intl Corp' and you hid it from me. You knew that I will hate you once I find out. That's why you did your best to distract me till the marriage. How could you commit such an act? You are so shameless. And dad? He knew it all along!" she fussed.
Originally, Jason thought that she was just throwing a tantrum but hearing her speaking again left him speechless. Part of what she said wasn't wrong. He parted his lips but couldn't utter a word to defend himself, so he decided to let her continue.
"Listen, there won't be any marriage anymore. Delete my number and never you call me again. Never address me ever again in the future. Don't even run into me accidentally. This city is big, so you can easily limit our chances to meet again. You disgust me so much! I hate you! I wish never met you!" And after speaking, she hung up.
She was so mad that she could not even breathe properly. She hated all the Willow family. They are the cause of the nightmares she has been having all these years. Those same nightmares which haunted her every night and caused all her sleepless nights.
Then, she texted her father and told him that they had an urgent matter to discuss. And turned off her phone to avoid any more incoming calls and texts.
