Calder stopped.

Somewhere in the room, barely louder than cloth brushing against wood, came a faint rustle.

“Did you hear that?”

“Hear what?”

She yawned.

There were still questions she wanted to ask him, but they could wait. It was far too late.

She curled deeper into his arms and closed her eyes.

Calder stayed still.

The sound came again.

    Meryl’s eyes flickered.“I want to buy a piece of jewelry I like.”Soren crouched in front of her and took her hand.“Then tell me which one.”“I will buy it for you.”“No.”She hesitated.“I want to buy it myself.”“Just lend me the money.”“When I have enough later, I will pay you back.”Soren looked at her.“Why are you talking about borrowing money from me?”“What is mine is yours.”He transferred one million to her without another question.“Thank you.”Meryl checked the payment.Soren leaned closer and pinched the tip of her nose.“You are getting more and more polite with me.”“That is not a good sign.”His mouth curved.“Have I gone so long without taking care of you that you ha

    “No. She never came back.”Joren shook his head.Soren looked around the corridor.“Where could she have gone?”“You stay here. I will find her.”He hurried away.Out in the garden, Meryl finally snapped.Yevgen’s hand was still on her.She knocked it away and slapped him across the face.The blow did not anger him.If anything, he seemed to enjoy getting a reaction from her.He leaned close to her ear.“Does that Rook husband of yours know I have seen things about you he never has?”Meryl recoiled.“You are sick.”Her whole body trembled.There was something deeply wrong in the way he looked at her.It made her skin crawl.“Meryl, you were always beautiful.”Yevgen smiled to himself.“Even when you were young, I wanted to keep you all to myself.”

    This time, Octavia was the one staring.“You know him?”Nola nodded.“His name is Terrence, right?”“The executive CEO of Aurelian Capital?”“Yes.”Octavia leaned closer at once.“You actually know who he is?”“What else do you know?”“Tell me everything.”She had first seen Terrence at the Rook family reception.One look had been enough.Unfortunately, she never got the chance to speak to him.She only learned his name and position afterward by asking around.Then she ran into him again recently at another event.If anything, he looked even better the second time.Completely her type.Since then, Octavia had searched for anything she could find about him online, but nearly all the available information came from interviews and corporate news posted on Aurelian Capital’s

    “That is enough.”Willa cut in before Joren could finish.“Wanda is Nola’s aunt, which makes her an elder to Joren as well. He was the one who pulled her from the wreck. Of course he wants to stay until he knows whether the surgery went well.”She gave Samuel a pointed look.“Why do you need to question everything?”Then she turned to Norchester.“Rick, come with me. Let us go see the other two.”“All right.”Norchester left with her.Samuel had little choice but to let the matter drop.“Fine. Stay here if you want.”Then he hurried after them.Once the elders were gone, Joren sat back down on the bench.He gripped his knees and lowered his head.When Samuel had asked what Wanda was to him, he had wanted to answer.He had wanted to say that she was the woman he had loved more than anyone in his li

    There was a brief silence on the other end.Then the man spoke again.“I am her husband.”Joren said nothing.“Why do you have Wanda’s phone?”The man’s tone sharpened.“Is she with you right now?”“Answer me.”Joren felt as though something had closed around his throat.He could not speak.Could barely breathe.Standing opposite the man who actually had the right to call himself Wanda’s husband, Joren suddenly felt like the one who did not belong.Like someone who had no place demanding anything from her.“Hello?”The man grew impatient.“Put Wanda on the phone. I need to speak with her urgently.”It took Joren several seconds to force the words out.“She cannot answer.”“Why?”“What happened?”“She was in a

    The moment the doctor stepped out, Callan and the others rushed over.“How are they?”“You are the family?”The doctor glanced at them.“Nola has multiple soft tissue injuries, but nothing serious. Xian has a moderate concussion and several other soft tissue injuries. He is still unconscious.”Then he paused.“As for Wanda…”Joren’s entire body tightened.“What happened to her?”“Is she all right?”“Her injuries are more serious. One of the metal teeth on her hair clip snapped during the crash and penetrated the skull, causing damage to the brain.”The doctor continued.“She will need delicate neurosurgery. We have already called in the surgical team.”Nola had escaped with relatively minor injuries.If Xian woke up normally, he would likely recover with time.Wanda
