FORTY

She miscalculated her balance due to her trembling knees and suddenly collapsed onto the floor. She grimaced from the awkward impact of her fall at that moment.

Suddenly, she looked down at her hands—they were truly shaking. She didn’t want to admit or say that she was weak, but given what she felt at that time, she was completely drained of strength. Her body was on the verge of giving out due to the tremors in her muscles.

She heard the door close, followed by footsteps. A few moments l

    CHAPTER FORTY-THREEShe woke up early that hour, unaware of why, but she immediately got up and stepped off her bed.Stretching, she walked toward her window to check if it was already light outside. It was still dark at that hour, but a sliver of light peeped from the east. She smiled, thinking it would probably be nice to watch the sunrise.She immediately went into the bathroom and washed her face. Afterward, she changed her clothes because what she was wearing was far too thin. Certain that it was still cold outside, she put on a jacket. Once dressed, she went straight downstairs to the kitchen to brew some coffee.The entire house was still quiet at that hour, and she was sure that the people staying in the house with her were still asleep.She stepped outside right after making her coffee. A cold breeze welcomed her, making her close her eyes. It felt wonderful to inhale the fresh morning air.After a moment, she opened her eyes and looked toward the east where the sun was risin

    FORTY TWOHE LET OUT a long, deep sigh before approaching where Zake was and poured wine into another glass sitting there.Afterward, he took it and turned toward the window overlooking the sea. It was already night, but the beauty of the sea was still clearly visible due to the full moon's reflection on the water."What's your plan, Zake?" he asked him. Zake didn't answer right away. He didn't know what his next steps would be either, as all his plans had changed.At first, when they burned the sugarcane field, he let it pass. But when they broke into the hacienda while he was away, his anger reached its limit—they hadn't just killed animals, but some of his men as well.He couldn't let that slide anymore because they were actively looking for a fight. So he was ready to give them what they wanted, but what about his deal with Addie? And what about the promises he made to his men—that he would bring justice to their fallen comrades?He set his glass down and buried his face in his ha

    He swirled the glass of alcohol in his hand. He didn’t know if he made the right decision by giving in to Addie’s plea—sparing the lives of her parents in exchange for her freedom, keeping her bound to him for the rest of her life.What about the families of his men who were killed at his hacienda? What would they say, especially after he had promised them proper justice for their loved ones?He had sworn to them that an eye for an eye—a life for a life—would be demanded. But how could he fulfill that vow now that he was bound by his promise and had agreed to Addie’s terms?He massaged his temples, a headache threatening to break out from the sheer weight of his thoughts. Problems had been piling up over the past few days, leaving him at a loss as to what to prioritize.He was still turning it over in his head, questioning whether accepting Adrianne’s deal—sparing her parents in exchange for her lifelong service—was truly the right move.He knew all too well how painful it was to lose

A few moments later, she saw his feet right in front of her, prompting her to lift her head to look at him."What are you doing here?" he asked with an authoritative emphasis, as if she had trespassed on his property at that very moment.She composed herself; despite her weakness, she strived to sit up straight and knelt before him.She had her pride, but her parents' lives were at stake, so she would do whatever it took to ensure they were not lost. She was ready to swallow everything. She was ready to sacrif

    THIRTY-NINEShe smiled because, despite taking several shots already, he still hadn't stopped. Having no choice, she simply turned her gaze toward the sea and let him take picture after picture until he grew tired of it.She remained staring at the ocean, watching the sunset, until shortly after, she felt him sit down beside her. She scooted over slightly to make enough room for both of them on top of the rock.Neither she nor he spoke; they both just remained staring at the setting sun."The sunset is beautiful, isn't it?" she heard him ask. She merely smiled in response and nodded. She could feel him staring at her through her peripheral vision, and suddenly he picked up the camera again to take another photo of her. She just let him take photos as long as he wanted. After a few moments, she saw him lower the camera once more and look back out at the sea."Do you know what Zake's plan is for me?" she asked him softly. She knew she shouldn't be asking him that, because even if he kne

    THIRTY EIGHTShe woke up feeling utterly exhausted. She could barely move her hands and feet; her entire body throbbed as if she had been severely beaten.Opening her eyes, the white ceiling was the first thing she saw. She let out a yawn, feeling still heavily sleep-deprived—it felt as though she had only just drifted off before waking right back up. She had no idea what time it was, nor did she know what time she and Zake had parted ways last night, or if it even was last night.She tried to stretch, managing to raise her arms, but she could deeply feel the ache in them—likely from exhaustion due to their relentless lovemaking.She couldn't help but recall everything that had transpired between them last night, causing a flush of heat to rise to her cheeks.She hadn't kept count of how many times they did it; he had seemed utterly tireless as he made love to her. They were like newlyweds who acted as if they hadn't seen each other in an eternity, driven by sheer mutual passion.She
