They rushed in and began a rapid search, moving from room to room. When doors refused to open, they kicked them in without hesitation.

Shouts and women's screams rang out in quick succession.

"Hey, what are you doing? How is this any different from a break-in? Stop right now. Everyone get out!"

"Ah. Who are you people?"

None of them slowed the black-suited men. Footsteps thundered through the building as doors fell one after another, the noise drawing closer to the room where Isolde was.

  • Marrying My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin   Chapter 354

    Claudia looked at Isolde with clear blue eyes. Her delicate brows drew together, and a hint of gravity settled in her gaze.Their eyes met.Isolde's stare was chilly. 'What did you promise?'Claudia gave a barely perceptible shake of her head. 'I didn't know you'd come.'As if oblivious to the tension between them, Bruce sat down, picked up the decanter, and poured wine for himself and Claudia."Princess, thanks to you, Isolde's hands will heal." He raised his glass, his tone as casual as if he were discussing the weather. "She's always wanted to thank you in person."Claudia did not fully understand what was happening, but years of attending grand occasions had taught her composure. Even if a mountain collapsed in front of her, she would remain unruffled.She clinked her glass against his. "It's nothing."Bruce's next sentence nearly made her choke. "It's just as well to get familiar. You'll have to interact sooner or later. Better to get used to it in advance."'Later?' Clau

    "That's too dirty," Bruce spat.Ezra opened his mouth to speak, but his throat tightened and no words came out. He had never seen Bruce like this.Bruce spoke of his own ugliness with stark honesty, saw his desires and weaknesses with unsettling clarity, and guarded a "light" he might never reach with something close to humility."But…" Bruce's fingers tightened around the railing. "I'm not willing to accept that. I still want to try one last time. If she still doesn't care at all…"He fell silent for a long moment, long enough that Ezra thought he would not continue.Then, slowly and faintly, Bruce tugged at the corner of his lips. "Then I won't struggle anymore. I don't believe… that there's truly not even a trace of me in her heart."…At dinnertime, a maid came instead of Bruce. "Ms. Vancrest, the Prince instructed me to bring you to the dining hall."Isolde had been staring out the window, lost in thought. At the maid's words, her lashes trembled slightly. "Where is he?"

    Ezra's hand, which had been idly toying with the lighter, stilled. The metal casing clicked, the crisp sound unusually sharp in the quiet night.He slowly turned his head, surprise filling his eyes.He raised a brow, his expression caught between curiosity and confusion. "What do you mean? Weren't you just about to win her over? Weren't you smug and satisfied a few days ago? What is this supposed to be now?"Backing out halfway, giving up at the final step… that's not your style, Prince."Bruce did not answer. He took another deep drag of his cigarette.The inhale was harsh and forceful, as if he meant to crush the surging emotions in his chest that had nowhere to go.After a moment, through the drifting smoke, he spoke in a low, heavy voice. "She… doesn't have me in her heart."Ezra froze."No way, right?" he said at once. "The way she treats you—""To her, every moment of staying by my side is torment," Bruce said, curling his lips in self-mockery.He thought of the way she

    'Be rational. Be rational, be rational. The man in front of you is your greatest benefactor. I can't, and shouldn't, throw a tantrum at him. Endure, endure, I have to endure…'Isolde took a steady breath, careful not to show it, then slowly exhaled. The stiffness in her expression eased back to normal.She lifted her gaze, her tone calm. "Prince, if you went out, you must have had something important to deal with, right?"She tilted her head slightly, her smile flawless. "If I ask about everything, wouldn't that make me seem too inconsiderate?"'Considerate… Ha!' Bruce looked at her composed expression and felt a surge of twisted anger, laced with a deep, chilling coldness, rush to his head.He straightened abruptly and pulled away from her, no longer looking at her.His soaked shirt clung to his tense back, outlining sharp lines. With his back to her, his voice turned cold and hard. "Yes, you're very considerate."He raised his hand and glanced at his watch."It's almost time

    Then Isolde activated her AI assistant. "Heart, put this number on the blacklist and block all unknown calls.""Okay, Isolde. The number has been blacklisted, and unknown calls have been blocked." After the assistant's reply, the room fell into a long silence.Isolde leaned back on the sofa, completely drained, her eyes empty and lifeless.Bruce peered through the crack in the door, watching her. He had never seen her like this.Around him, she was always cheerful and smiling, always gentle. Even when her hands hurt, she endured it without complaint.'So… all this time, has she never shown her true self to me?'"You've been through so much together, spent so long side by side, and you still don't love him… You will never love him in your life…"Alan's words echoed in his ears, each one like an ice spike piercing his heart again and again.Bruce's throat tightened."Isolde…" He whispered her name without thinking, his voice hoarse and almost unrecognizable.Pain surged like a

    Bruce forced himself to calm down. He could not scare Isolde.Just as he twisted the doorknob and eased the door open a crack, a man's voice came from inside.It was Alan. He was asking Isolde, "Since you know Bruce and Claudia are together, why haven't you left him?"Bruce froze mid-motion. Blood seemed to congeal in his veins, and his grip on the doorknob tightened until his knuckles turned white. He held his breath and strained to listen."It's none of your business. Don't call me again." Isolde's tone was sharp with disgust.She moved her wrist to end the call.Alan's fierce, distorted voice rose at once. "You still won't leave him after he cheats on you? Isolde, are you out of your mind? Do you love him so much that you have no limits and can't let go?"Bruce's heart leapt into his throat.Alan seemed to realize something. "No… that's not right!"His voice filled with manic delight. "With your personality, you can't tolerate even a grain of sand in your eye. You would nev

    Bruce walked over and handed Isolde a cup of hot milk."Feeling sorry for him?" His voice betrayed neither anger nor pleasure, yet it made her teeth ache with tension. "Want me to call him up and offer him a glass of water?"The warmth seeped from her palms straight to her heart, easing the tightn

    Martin strode to Isolde's side, his brows drawn tight, his voice low but steady. "Isolde, I don't believe you're the kind of person the news is describing. What's going on?"Isolde stared at the defamatory, twisted reports, a cold sharpness flashing through her eyes.The news had not broken earlie

    Was all this accommodation for Isolde worth it?…Back at the Princeton residence, Isolde's former bedroom reeked of stale alcohol. Empty bottles littered the floor, and the room lay in total disarray.Alan slumped on the sofa, gulping down liquor in heavy swallows, drinking as if the world had g

    When Isolde's parents saw her return alone, confusion crossed their faces."Isolde, where's your new boyfriend?" Moira asked.A faint, almost imperceptible awkwardness flickered across her expression. She had not expected the carefully staged performance to unravel so abruptly, all because of Jane
