As Bella had expected, both of them had come to their house when Jacob's mom came back two days later .

"What's all this Jacob, is this true? You were with Lauren" said mom getting angry on seeing the video where Jacob was making out with her.
She got angry on seeing the video where Jacob was making out with Lauren in a drunken state.
When her hands began to open his buttons, Jacob pushed Lauren away and the video ended. Jessica wanted to show another video that they had made when that Lauren was finally able to kiss him.
I stopped Jessica showing it to mom "Mom, please. Don't get stressed please! It's not good for your heart" I said.
"Bella .I am sorry. My son cheated on you. I can't believe this; really Jacob how could you…?"She said crying, I stopped her from speaking more.
Jacob's face had fallen on hearing his mom's accusation. "Mom, he didn't cheat "I said as I stood near Jacob and took his hand in mine.
"What are you saying, Bella? You saw the video right. I can't blame you for it and please don't take his side. "said mom panting. "what did you do, jacob ? where did I go wrong in bri.. "she asked jacob with anguish.
I stopped mom from completing her sentence.
Jacob was not in the wrong , I am to blame for all this mess.
Taking my hand away from my husband's hand I went near Sarah and bowing down, and clasped her hand.
"Mom ,please! Don't think like that about your son even for a second. He's a very nice soul. Don't believe in Lauren like person's saying. When I came here, I had to work with Edward who was going to be my fiancee at one point of time. When Jacob came to know about it ,he got drunk and did all that .Lauren's Edwards ex-wife ,she did all this to make me jealous" then I told about my tale about Edward making scene on the engagement day .
"What?" mom cried in surprise .
"I am sorry , mom . My mother told me not to tell about my broken engagement . I tried to tell but couldn't because I lost courage when ever I used to think of telling you all, esp Jacob . I was afraid of losing him "ending the tale, now in tears.
Sarah was alright now ,Jacob let out a relieved sigh seeing his mom breathing normally.
Our chances of taking risk had finally paid off.
"She's telling lies , it was in Switzerland and not in Mumbai "cried Lauren after Jessica nudged her.
Seeing Jessica's behavior was making feel him odd still ,she was literally acting so innocent now she 's not.
"Really, mom . You would believe what she's saying after she ditched him in college? Jacob had told me everything about her when I asked him after I heard it from Emily "I asked mom.
Her face changed when she remembered the long forgotten fact and looked with Lauren with such a face that she flinched back.
"Got to say you have guts to show your face again to my son. He was so shattered at that time "mom said and hugged her son.
She asked him to forgive her ,he smiled and told her he didn't mind it.
"She's not telling lies" Jessica said and showed the recent recording which I saw was morphed a lot.
I showed the real recording and how uncomfortable Jacob looked during that make out and mom finished seeing the video I had filmed
"Why were you so quiet ,Jacob?" she asked him .
"Lauren threatened me to show that earlier video to you. Mom your heart is weak, believe me I don't want to take chances .Bella and I were fighting and it has been a month we patched up" Jacob said in a whisper.
"Mom, I will handle the rest .Please have rest "I said to Sarah , she smiled at both of us and ruffling our hair she said "I believe you both .I don't believe .. that girl" she said eyeing Lauren with such menace, that even she flinched.
Saying this she went inside .
Jacob then went near Jessica .
He couldn't believe she who was his long time friend, was helping Lauren.
"So why did you do this to me ?"asked Jacob.
Jessica was fidgeting beside Lauren who was not comforting or providing support to her at all ,
I doubted now whether they were friends at all. As he pressurized her to tell her the truth to him
I couldn't help remember what happened in Rose's house 2 weeks ago.
She was teaching me to make fusion dish that was Hyderabadi apricot dessert topped with fruit kernels and malai (whipped cream), when one of her friends dropped into out she was Jessica's cousin .
When she got to know that I am Jacob's wife ,she made me show his current photo.
She let out a whistle on seeing him" he sure has grown into a gorgeous guy. No wonder Jessica was hung up on marrying him. Poor girl, missed her chance. She still has his old photos from her college days. She even gave me one "and showed me an old photo of Jacob.
Emily had shown me some of his old photos when I was newly married , it was truly Jacob.
Though he was stunning now ,he was a beauty even in his earlier days.
Suddenly I was brought from my thoughts to the present feeling Jacob's arms wrapping around me.
He was protecting me from Jessica scratching me as she ranted out and cried "I loved you Jacob,and you married Bella.I sided with Lauren to separate both of you . She doesn't deserve your love "
"But Lauren wants Jacob, how would you get him if you are with Lauren?" I asked Jessica exasperatedly.
"I am not in love with Jacob, but with Ravi. He was the guy I cheated upon Jacob in college. We broke up after we finished our studies due to some misunderstanding. When I met him again, after a year I had got married to Edward, he cleared my misunderstandings ... after my divorce trial was in progress. Jacob was hell bent on blackmailing me, Ravi tried indirectly to make him understand "Lauren said.
She saw Jessica with a sneer who was looking at her with disgust along with me.
"What happened . Continue your story ?" I said with sarcasm dropping from my voice.
"Well, he tried to injure Jacob by making the chandelier fall on him at the party . But he got lucky as he escaped unhurt due to you. Thanks to his beautiful and brave wife "she said sarcastically in reply.
"What!" Jessica and I shouted both at the same time.
How could his friend Ravi stoop so low for love , it was hard to believe . His actions made Jessica appear better than him.
Jacob was shocked too ,not able to believe his ears that his one of his close friends Ravi was in love with Lauren.
He was the guy that was one of the cause of his first dreadful heartbreak and also now was the reason of this unnecessary travails with Jessica's craziness thrown in.
Jessica and Lauren were no friends but they were only using each other for their own benefit.
"I knew Lauren you were behind it, how did Ravi came into play in all this ?" Jessica fumed at Lauren ,clearly she had not been let in the secret by her .
It was hard to believe but it was true Lauren did love Ravi .
"And then Jessica started blackmailing me, as she was keeping eye on Jacob from the time when she heard that Jacob had taken transfer to Mumbai branch. Finally her years of searching any link to reach Jacob came in a platter to her. " said Lauren ,clearly hinting in Jessica's direction that , she was also no good either. It was getting too much for me seeing how people in this room, could stoop so low ! .
Jessica caught on her hidden meaning and proceeded to hit her,but was stopped by two lady constables who came there suddenly from nowhere.
I saw Jacob had removed the curtains and was talking to a police officer.
"So what do we do now , Jacob ?" I asked as I saw them going out from our house.
"Justice "said Jacob grimly as he took his hand in mine , his hand was squeezing mine tight like he was seeking strength from me.
