Author: Sienna Yates
Still…

Thomas turned his head slightly, watching Sharon without expression. She wasn't like him. She hadn't grown up in blood and shadows. Violence didn't come naturally to her.

Letting Jamie die outright felt dull. Keeping him alive to suffer would be far more interesting.

As he packed, his mind drifted through the next steps. When he reached one of the bags, something unexpected caught his eye.

He frowned, pulled it out. "What's this?"

Sharon turned at the sound of his voice—then froze. I

    Just before Thomas disappeared from Sharon's sight, she was struck from behind and lost consciousness.Julliard stared at Sharon with burning intensity. "Sharon, drawing Thomas away from your side was incredibly difficult. Fortunately, I succeeded. It was worth the price of Madeline's life."Sharon's pupils shrank. "What did you just say?"Julliard smiled. "Sharon, Madeline had always targeted you. I disliked her long ago, but out of respect for Carter, I tolerated her. But she bullied you—and I would never let that go. So… it was time for her to die."Not a trace of gratitude rose in Sharon's heart. Instead, a chill crept through her body.Julliard looked at her gently and said in a soft voice, "Sharon, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I will never allow anyone to hurt you."Sharon asked, "What about Theo?"Julliard smiled. "Theo has already been rescued by Thomas. He's fine for now."Sharon pressed on, "Was this fire something you set on purpose, just to kidnap me?"Julliar

    Carter's voice was hoarse and subdued. "Sharon, thank you, but… I don't think it will be necessary anymore."Sharon understood at once. "Alright."After hanging up, Sharon and Thomas brought Theo back with them.Theo looked listless.No matter how strained the relationship between Sharon and Madeline had been, Madeline was still Theo's grandmother—and she truly loved him. Now that her condition had worsened, it was only natural that Theo felt sorrow and distress.Fortunately, Thomas was very good with children. He quickly diverted Theo's attention, easing the heaviness in the boy's mood.That evening, Sharon sat at the table, watching Theo and Thomas play Chess.Suddenly, her phone rang.The caller was Carter again.Sharon glanced at the time—eight o'clock in the evening. Her heart jolted with a faint premonition.She walked out onto the balcony and answered the call."Carter, did something happen?"From the other end came Carter's hoarse, trembling voice."Yes. My mother

    Sharon stared at Wendy in surprise. "Wendy, don't tell me you're getting into an online romance?"Wendy waved her hands quickly. "No, no, not at all. A while ago, I was out drinking with friends at a bar and met a masked pianist. He played beautifully, and his build and demeanor were outstanding. Someone even offered money to make him take off the mask. Anyway… I just happened to help him out of an awkward situation."Sharon frowned. "A mask? Why was he wearing one?"Wendy explained, "He said he's the heir of a powerful family who ran away from home after rebelling against them over some issues. He can't show his face in public. If people recognize him, his family will drag him back."Sharon found it hard to believe. "So you've never seen what he actually looks like?""No." Wendy replied casually while typing on her phone. "I'm going back to Marcentine in a while anyway. There's no real future between us. Flirting for fun isn't so bad, right?"Sharon said, "Wendy, if you really w

    "Be careful," Carter said."I'll be fine," Sharon replied. "Thomas will travel with me, so nothing's going to happen."Carter knew she would be travelling with Thomas. Still, hearing her trust him so completely made his chest tighten. He let out a soft sigh."Alright," he said.After hanging up, Sharon relayed the news to Thomas. He seemed somewhat surprised."Carter's mom had a car accident?"Sharon explained, "She's had a chronic headache for a long time. According to Carter, it flared up while she was driving, and that caused the accident."Thomas asked, "What about the Biggs family's driver?""She didn't have the driver with her. No one knows who she went to see."Seeing how detailed Thomas's questions were, Sharon couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Thomas? Do you think there's something suspicious about her accident?"He replied, "I just… feel it's a little odd."Sharon said calmly, "Madeline is Carter's mother. Whether it was an accident or something deliberate, he'

    Although Loki found it a bit strange, he didn't press the matter. The two of them began walking outside.Perhaps distracted, Sharon misstepped on the stairs and nearly fell. Loki's reflexes were fast, and just as he reached to steady her, a long, pale, elegantly jointed hand moved first, catching her.Sharon lifted her eyes and saw a familiar, handsome face."Thomas." She paused in surprise. "What are you doing here?"He lowered his gaze to her."I was a little worried about you," he said softly. "So I came to check on you."Sharon shook her head gently. "I'm fine. You don't need to worry.""Really?" he murmured.She changed the subject. "What about Theo?""He's being protected by Liam and Doug," Thomas replied.Sharon nodded lightly. "Let's go back, then."Thomas didn't move. Instead, he stared at her, his gaze heavy and unreadable. The hand holding her arm tightened slightly, as if restraining itself.Sharon's lashes quivered. "Thomas…"Loki, sensing the tension, hurried

    Sharon asked, "Do you have anything else you want to say?"Johanna replied, "Of course. Jamie is dead, and you've gained so much from this. There's no way I could let you have it so easy. Whether because you're our rival or for my brother's sake, I have to try to drive a wedge between you and Thomas."Sharon, naturally sensing Johanna's attitude, remained calm. She said lightly, "Fine. Say whatever you need to say today, all at once."She didn't care about Johanna's sarcasm or barbed words. As long as Johanna wasn't stabbing her in the back, a few cutting remarks were nothing she couldn't handle.Johanna continued, "Sharon, Jamie should have bought one of your paintings before, right? When you sold your art, you went by 'MK,' didn't you?"Sharon nodded. "Yes."Johanna gave a subtle, almost enigmatic smile. "When he bought your painting, something significant happened. I don't know what trouble my father caused that time, but Lesley's mother decided to eliminate potential problems
