เข้าสู่ระบบBianca froze. Theo's words echoed in her mind like a voice in an empty hall.
Slowly, she turned to face him. Are you? Are you saying, I can come back to your place and stay there. Theo frowned slightly, don't get the wrong idea, he replied, flatly. Starting today, I can accept you. As a cook, Bianca looked at his cold expression and let out a nervous sigh. No problem. She said quietly, but inside she was fuming, seriously, how bossy can he get Do I lookShe had once forced Theo to endure this kind of drug. Back then, she hadn't fully grasped the agony he must have felt. Now, she understood completely. The heat surged through her veins, scorching and relentless. Her body betrayed her, trembling, not just from fear, but from something far worse. The men approached, rubbing their hands together, their eyes gleaming with twisted anticipation. They weren't ordinary thugs. They had once worked as bodyguards for the rich, standing in the shadows, protecting the elite. They had seen Bianca before, admired her from a distance. She was untouchable, the most stunning woman among California's high society, and now fate had handed her to them on a silver platter. How fortunate. Bianca staggered backward, her breath shallow. Stay away from me, she warned, her voice shaking. Frantically, she reached for her phone, her only lifeline. But before she could dial— A rough hand snatched it awa
I know. I know. I won't run into Sebastian and Edward, Bianca said, waving a hand dismissively. A sigh escaped her lips, edged with frustration. Can you say something different? I'm tired of hearing the same thing. Theo's jaw tensed. The audacity—she was getting bolder by the day. His glare darkened, but Bianca, unbothered, tilted her head curiously. Your eyes are bloodshot. Did you not sleep well last night? Was it? Because—she paused, coughing lightly, but her gaze sharpened with suspicion. Theo stiffened. Did she suspect the truth that he'd spent the night finishing her sketches? He had no intention of letting her find out. Masking his unease behind an icy expression, he cut in. What are you getting at? Bianca cleared her throat. Relax. I just choked on my own saliva. I figured you didn't sleep because your injuries were acting up again. I slept like a log. Sorry about that. Why didn't you wake me? Guilt laced her voice.
You're so full of yourself, what makes you so confident? Theo's words hit like a slap, making Bianca bristle inside.She hated to admit it, but when it came to making money, he was the best she'd ever seen. Still, there would always be someone better.Sebastian, for instance, likely had an edge over him in that regard. Young Master Williams, don't be so cocky, she said dryly.Theo let out a short snort. You should feel honored to have met me. Bianca rolled her eyes. Oh, absolutely. I'm so lucky. You're my lucky star, my savior.She had no interest in arguing with a patient. Just then, her phone buzzed. Sebastian had messaged her on WhatsApp. I heard from Joseph that something happened to you at work.Are you okay? Can I come visit? I'm worried. Bianca sighed internally. Sebastian was always thoughtful, but her original plan to take revenge on Edward by marrying his cousin.But it's no longer necessary. She quickly typed back, thank you for your concern. I'm f
When Bianca turned around, she froze. She wasn't alone. Dr. Kane and his intern stood there, waiting silently. They had only come to check on Theo a few minutes ago, and now they were all staring at her.Their gazes felt odd. Bianca's face flamed. Had Dr. Kane told them what he saw last night?Thankfully, at that moment, Theo stirred awake, drawing their attention. Dr. Kane quickly shifted back into professional mode, proceeding with the checkup.10 min later, as he prepared to leave, he clenched his fist and cleared his throat.You're recovering quickly, but you still need to take care.Bianca stiffened. She didn't miss the hint in his tone. Devastated, she had no words. She simply wanted to disappear.It wasn't until she finished freshening up that she caught her reflection in the mirror. Her lips were swollen.Her eyes widened in horror. No wonder everyone had been staring at her. She was so shocked she nearly fell into the toilet.A moment la
Can't you see how painful it is when I move? Theo gritted out, attempting to shift his hand, only to grimace in pain. Hurry up, or I swear I'm going to pee on you. Bianca's face flushed, flustered. She stepped forward, slipping her hand beneath the blanket. But nothing happened. Theo's body tensed, his frustration evident. How much longer? he demanded, his voice gruff as he stared at her. Bianca's face slightly flushed. Bianca inhaled sharply, steeling herself before ducking fully under the blanket. And that was when the door swung open. Mr. Williams, let me check your— The doctor froze mid-step. Silence stretched. A deep crimson spread across the doctor's face as he stood completely stunned. Sorry, I… I came at the wrong time, he stammered, backing away in a hurry. I'll leave right now. Bianca shot out from beneath the blanket, her face a shade redder than the doctor's.
Daniel let out a dramatic sigh. Theo, now that you're hospitalized, how many corporations have to delay several major projects? The losses will probably exceed a billion. Theo didn't even blink. Let her pay. His gaze flickered toward Bianca. Lazy, yet deliberate. I got injured saving her, after all. Bianca's stomach dropped. A billion. She wanted to cry. Even if she worked her entire life, she wouldn't be able to pay back that amount. Daniel seemed to share her sympathy, shaking his head with a sigh. It's over, sister-in-law. You'll never escape Theo's grasp now. Theo's expression darkened. Do I look like some kind of villain? Daniel coughed and quickly corrected himself. My mistake. Then his face hardened with annoyance. Anyway, how dare Hudson let something like this happen without taking responsibility? I'm going to make sure their property development project crashes and burns.
Hi, sister Rebecca said, as she walked towards Bianca, her lips curving into a faint smile. I didn't expect to see you here so soon. Bianca spun around, but didn't respond. Her breath hitching as she watched Rebecca approach. Each step her sister took was deliberate, confident
What have I done? One of the servers thought panic flooding his chest. His eyes darted toward Manager Lauren, who stood frozen by the reception desk. Pale and motionless. Lauren's wide eyes betrayed the dread coursing through him. The server's hands trembled slightl
Standing by the villa's front gate, she glanced down at her packed belongings. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed, but she forced herself to hold her chin high. This is it. No turning back. Now. She dragged her luggage onto the driveway, the faint hum of the city at night, wrappi
The sound of Theo's cold, rough voice cut through the air like a blade. Have you seen enough? Bianca froze mid step, her heart plummeting into her stomach. Her cheeks flared blazing with heat, as though she'd been caught red handed. Her eyes darted away, frantically searching for someth
