ログインLorenzo lifted his hand and gently stroked her cheek. “Wife, I’m always on your side. I’ll help you. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you. As long as you don’t leave me, I’d give you my life if I had to.”Looking at Lorenzo so close, Anna suddenly felt life wasn’t so bad after all. Meeting him felt like all her past misfortunes had been leading up to this—everything lost was worth it for what she had now. He was her salvation, the only light in her world for so many years.As her emotions gradually settled, Lorenzo spoke. “Feeling better now?”“Much better.”&
Anna sprinted across the courtyard. The café’s tropical-themed décor was full of lush plants, but the yard was quiet—not a soul in sight.The door loomed ahead. She inhaled deeply and threw it open.Who was behind all of this?The room was empty—no one, not even Olive.“Boss, they got away!”“I left someone at the door. They might run, but they won’t escape. Call the security team—whoever it is, stop them!”“Yes.”
Anna pulled a sharp dagger and pressed it against Olive’s neck. “That year, I didn’t even get to see my mother one last time. I know her body better than anyone—she was so young. Falling from the height of the villa wouldn’t have killed her. You botched the rescue… or did you take the opportunity to kill her? Was it you?”At the word *kill*, Olive trembled violently. Her neck grazed the dagger, and a trickle of blood ran down, but Anna didn’t flinch. Instead, she pressed on.“No! It’s not like that! I didn’t kill anyone!”Her expression was so tense that Anna was certain this woman was involved.
Anna had spent the past week in a daze, her mind consumed with thoughts of the returning attending physician. No one knew the details of her mother’s case better than she did.A hand, sharply jointed and precise, waved in front of her eyes. Anna blinked and focused.Lorenzo was staring at her intently. “What’s got you thinking so seriously?”“Sorry… I was thinking about the attending physician. She arrives tomorrow. I’ve arranged for someone to intercept her the moment she lands. What’s wrong?”Lorenzo held a tablet, the screen displaying several cocktail dresses. “These are all
Lisa quickly replied, “The exact arrival time is next Friday at 11:45 a.m. Once we locate her, everything will be clear.”Anna exhaled, relieved. “Good. Keep an eye on her. She can’t get away.”“I understand, boss. Don’t worry.”The day passed leisurely. Anna felt less like she was working and more like she was on vacation.Before leaving the office, she received an anonymous text:[Arrived safely. Don’t worry.]No signature, but she knew exactly who it was.
Randall wasn’t like Forrest. With a single command, he could uncover a web of details.His assistant cautiously laid out Xandra’s movements over the past month. “Mr. Davidson, your mother visited Xandra three times. Xandra met Valerie four times: once shopping at a mall, once at your home, once privately, and the last time at Mr. Hamilton’s engagement party. We only caught two of their meetings on surveillance entering a café—we don’t know what they discussed.”He handed Randall the footage. Watching Xandra pick gifts, she was not only snatched at by Valerie but even shoved around. Without Anna and Laura present, who knows what else Valerie might have done?
Anna had just drifted into a deep, hazy sleep when Maurice went to prepare her some food. In that brief moment, Fabian burst in.He roused her forcibly, and she felt her head splitting with pain. Blinking, she focused and realized the man in front of her was Lily’s uncle.“I’m here to get justice f
After a while, her dizziness eased a bit. It wasn’t as intense as before, and the nausea had subsided slightly.Lucas walked in again. “Anna, have you made your decision?”“I…”Maurice pushed the door open. “Madam, a call from Sir. He wants to speak with you.”Lorenzo was on his private jet, with f
What did he think she was? Pregnancy was supposed to be a mutual decision, yet he had schemed it.Anna seethed inside.The child, however, was innocent. It had no say in Lorenzo’s methods of bringing it into the world.She continued with the checks. Maurice arrived at the hospital, terrified.He wa
Even though Anna was now his uncle’s wife, she still occupied an irreplaceable spot in his heart.Lily thought that if he would just glance back at her even once, she might feel a little better.Seeing her like this, Cameron panicked. “Lily, are you okay?”“Dad… it hurts. It really hurts…” Lily whi
