LOGINBack in the car, Vessara turned to look at Razen, who now wore an unusually serious expression. Confusion still lingered in her eyes.
“I already explained everything to you. Why do you still look so worried?”
“I’m just worried that something might happen to your family. You said Emilia has disappeared. And honestly, she doesn’t strike me as a good person. We both know what someone might do when they’re pushed into a corner.”
Razen
The words she had waited years to hear had finally come.Yet for some reason, at that very moment, Claire backed away.She stared at the man she had longed for and suddenly wanted nothing more than to escape.She kept stepping backward, his words repeating over and over in her mind.I'll marry you.But was that really what she wanted?Claire shook her head repeatedly.Then she pushed Lucian away and ran.Lucian was left standing there, staring blankly after her.Had she just rejected him?Maybe it was his own fault.Why had he said something like that in the first place?Lucian lowered his head.He moved his fingers several times before realizing he didn't even have the strength to clench his fists.A deep sense of helplessness engulfed him.His throat felt painfully dry, and he couldn't say another word.Watching Claire disappear from his sight left him with an u
Razen looked at Vessara with such tenderness that it was almost as if his eyes could melt.Unfortunately, Vessara didn’t notice at all.She was completely absorbed in her own thoughts.Razen could only helplessly shake his head and reassure himself internally.‘She just doesn’t think about these things. And she treats me pretty well anyway.’Somehow, repeating that to himself made him feel much better.“All right, enough about that. Nathan seems a little…”Vessara hesitated and glanced at Nathan.There was something about him today that felt off.Razen merely looked at Nathan.The moment their eyes met, Nathan immediately forced himself to perk up and squeezed out a flattering smile.“Why are you two looking at me? Is there something you want?”Nathan felt like he was about to fall apart.Razen walked over and narrowed his eyes.
A shrill voice filled with endless anguish rang through the room, so full of misery that it seemed almost tangible, as though it could wrap itself around Razen at any moment.Razen immediately frowned.A few seconds later, a figure rushed into the room like a bolt of lightning.“Razen! Explain this to me! What the hell is going on?”Nathan didn't bother with pleasantries. He tossed his phone at Razen, his eyes filled with undisguised frustration.Razen raised an eyebrow.“What about it?”“You dumped all these people on me! How am I supposed to handle them all? I'm a doctor, not a freaking beast!”God only knew what Nathan had felt when he arrived at the hospital and found an entire group of patients waiting for him, every single one in serious enough condition to require ICU care.He'd felt like his entire world was collapsing.Then he learned that all of them had been sent ther
The next second, Razen proudly lifted his chin and said each word with complete seriousness.“Begin.”A terrible feeling immediately flashed through Vessara's mind.She instinctively wanted to get away from this place.Unfortunately, she was too late.The people standing on both sides of the hallway suddenly moved.Then, in perfect unison, they shouted,“Welcome, Miss Barclay! We look forward to welcoming you as our boss's future wife!”The moment those words rang through the hallway, Vessara wanted nothing more than to find a hole in the ground and bury herself in it.‘This was really unnecessary. Did I seriously look like the kind of person who would enjoy this?’Vessara slowly turned toward Razen.Her clenched fingers had already curled into fists, looking as though they might land squarely on his face at any second.Razen, however, remained completely oblivious. He was still immersed in
Roy hurriedly caught her before she hit the floor.A flicker of guilt crossed his eyes before disappearing just as quickly.He leaned close to Vessara’s ear and whispered,“Boss, I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I had no choice. Get some rest for now.”Roy carried Vessara over to the couch and carefully laid her down. He found a blanket and covered her with it before straightening up.His eyes swept around the room.Eventually, they settled on the desk in the southwestern corner.He remembered that Vessara particularly liked keeping things there.Roy quickly walked over and rummaged through the desk.Sure enough, he found the documents hidden underneath.He glanced back one last time at Vessara, who appeared to still be unconscious.Roy gritted his teeth and walked out the door.But as he passed Vessara, he stopped for a moment.In a voice so quiet it was almost inaudible, he whispered,“I
Meanwhile, Vessara was still sitting comfortably in the car.She suddenly turned toward Razen.“Why aren't you driving?”“You haven't given me the address yet.”Razen's voice was calm and detached.The next second, however, Vessara let out a quiet laugh.“Do you really not know where that place is? Didn't you already investigate everything about me?”“I…”Razen opened his mouth, but his mind instantly became a mess.So she knew?Vessara had known about all the little things he'd been doing behind her back?Then why had she never said anything?Why had she simply allowed him to keep investigating her?For the first time, Razen realized just how impossible it was to figure out what Vessara was thinking.His mind went completely blank.Vessara reached over and patted him on the shoulder.“All right. Don't overthink
