Chapter 1282

Penulis: Goldfish
Shane knew how much those two words, "just friends," must have hurt Jessica. But with Lincoln's connections reaching so far, her arrival alone put her in danger.

Letting her stay close would give Lincoln another reason to target her. Keeping his distance was the only way Shane knew to protect her.

Jessica sat in the car, exhausted from the flight but too upset to relax. She shifted in her seat, unable to shake the hurt of seeing Shane with Andrea.

Outside the Goldhaven Hotel, the driver sl

  • Reborn Without You   Chapter 1293

    Shortly after Samantha left, the door quietly opened again. Lincoln strolled in without his bodyguards, wearing a tailored black trench coat with the collar open.He held an unlit cigar between his fingers and looked faintly amused. Crossing to the window, he turned his back on Christopher."Samantha's offer doesn't sound so bad." His low, slightly raspy voice broke the silence. "An engagement, a wedding, a move overseas. Leave all this behind and start over."Christopher rested against the headboard, his face still pale. He watched Lincoln coldly."You didn't come here to help her convince me."Their alliance was a matter of convenience. Lincoln and Samantha each wanted something from the other, and neither had any reason to be loyal.Lincoln chuckled and turned, appraising Christopher as though he were something valuable he hoped to acquire.He settled into the chair beside the bed and set his cigar on the nightstand. His fingers tapped steadily against the armrest, an irrit

    Lincoln surveyed the room, looking amused. When he turned to Samantha, there was a hint of admiration in his voice. "You're even more ruthless than I am."He gave her a few slow claps, as if applauding a performance. "The Zephyr fortune and Christopher himself. You really do want everything."Samantha faced him. "That's only the beginning. I'm taking back everything the Bloom family lost, piece by piece."Lincoln raised an eyebrow. "And when he recovers? Aren't you worried he'll come after you? Because if he does, you're finished."Samantha glanced at Christopher and smiled, her gaze lingering on him with possessive intensity."You think that scares me?" she asked quietly. "It hasn't for a long time."She studied his pale face. "As long as he stays with me, as long as I don't have to share him, I don't care what happens to me. I'd go to hell for that."Christopher looked at Amelia, unable to hide his guilt and anguish. He opened his mouth, but no words came.Giving in would

    Christopher went pale as he stared at Amelia. He struggled to his feet, and fresh blood seeped through the gauze on his chest as the movement strained his wound.At the sight of her injuries, his composure fell apart. Anguish and fury crossed his face, followed by a helplessness he couldn't hide."Christopher." Samantha smiled as she lifted the whip, taking her time. "Look at her. The woman you love, completely at my mercy."She spoke lightly, knowing how much it would hurt him. "I decide what happens to her. To both of you."Christopher clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms until they bled. His expression hardened as he turned to Samantha."What do you want?""It's simple." She stepped closer, watching him with an intensity that made her obsession plain. "End things with Amelia. Get engaged to me and come back to my family as my future husband. Agree, and I'll let her go right now. I won't touch her again."She paused, a cruel smile spreading across her face.

    Samantha swung before she finished speaking. The whip whistled through the air and struck Amelia across the back with a sharp crack.It tore through her thin hospital gown, and pain seared across her back. Amelia jerked, sweat breaking out over her skin, but she clenched her teeth and held back a cry.She couldn't control the way her body tensed, though. Every movement sent fresh pain through her back, and Samantha took obvious pleasure in watching her struggle to stay silent.She swung again and again, growing more vicious with each blow. Bloody welts spread across Amelia's back, arms, and legs."Beg me to stop!" Samantha shouted, her eyes bloodshot. "Ask me to spare you! Ask me to spare Christopher! Come on, let me hear it, and I'll stop!"Amelia struggled to stay conscious. Her vision dimmed, and she could barely think through the pain.Still, she kept her teeth clenched, biting her lip until it bled. When she finally spoke, her voice was barely audible. "In...your dreams."

    Amelia was in her hospital room when several people barged in, grabbed her, and dragged her down the hall."What are you doing?" She struggled against their grip."Stop fighting. We're following the boss's orders."They shoved her into a dark room. Soon, she was sitting on a cold metal bed, her wrists tied with rough rope that dug into her skin, leaving deep, red marks.She lost track of how long she sat there before the lock finally clicked. Samantha walked in, her heels tapping against the floor.Her expensive camel coat and perfect makeup looked out of place in the shabby room. She stopped in front of Amelia, looking down at her with a cruel satisfaction that bordered on glee."You know, all I have to do is say the word, and Christopher dies."Samantha spoke softly as she ran a fingertip along Amelia's pale cheek. "The bullet passed right by his heart. A fraction of an inch closer, and he wouldn't be here. The doctor says he needs a reason to keep fighting. I'm going to m

    Samantha swayed, her face ashen as the last of her hope faded from her eyes. With just a few words, Lincoln stripped away her pride and the beliefs she clung to for years.He watched her crumble without sympathy. Nothing about her reaction seemed to surprise him.Then he turned and walked down the hallway, leaving her alone.Samantha finally accepted how much time she wasted believing in a relationship that never meant what she thought it did. The man she loved never cared about her at all.Overwhelmed, she leaned back against the cold wall. Her shoulders shook, and she could no longer hold back her tears.She found so many ways to convince herself. Even when she knew Christopher had his own reasons for their engagement, even when she saw the difference in how he treated Amelia, she insisted he must feel something for her.A few gentle words late at night, an offer to help when she needed him. She held on to every small kindness and called it love, building the relationship she

    Amelia looked at the gown in her hands. "If you don't have money, call your son to come over right now to settle the bill."Lucia chuckled. "Isn't my son your husband? It's the same if you settle the bill on his behalf, so why make him come all the way here? Are you trying to keep his money for you

    Christopher looked so calm, Lucia couldn't figure out what was going through his mind.She held Nathan's hand, frowning. "Chris, there's nothing between you two anyway. Why bother letting pointless news affect your relationship?""So you know about the news, too," Christopher said as he stepped in

    An alarm was issued for heavy wind and rain.The storm was predicted to last for two hours.Amelia's face fell, and she unbuckled her seatbelt. "Winona, wait here with Evelyn for a while. I'll head down and see if I can hail another car. I'll get my car from the car park, too."She couldn't sit

    Amelia rubbed Evelyn's head. "Winning first place isn't that important. What's more important is your participation.""No way!" Evelyn said. "You always win first place in competitions. I want to do the same so I won't embarrass you, especially since Nathan is around."She wanted to be able to hol
