Chapter 1645

Author: Sienna Yates
Rick said calmly, "He's still wary of our family. Of course, that wariness doesn't come from fear—it's because if he wants to elevate Sharon, he can't afford to act too ruthlessly. He can't use the same tactics he used against Jamie and Lex on us. All he can do is wait for the right moment—or wait for us to make a mistake."

Scott caught on immediately. "You mean we shouldn't make any rash moves for now?"

Rick nodded. "If he wants Sharon's rise to look legitimate, he can't go too far with us. B

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 1982

    Sharon said, "To be honest, I'm not going to Zachemaine to see Theo. I'm going there to avoid you. Thomas, you really are impossible to deal with. You have left me with no other choice… I have to hide."On the other end, she heard heavy, quick breaths. A flicker of worry crossed her mind, fearing he might be stalling deliberately. She said nothing further and simply hung up.Immediately, she signaled the pilot to take off.With a rumble, the plane lifted into the air. Outside, the sky was thick with dark clouds, mirroring the storm in Sharon's heart.As the plane ascended, she caught sight of a familiar figure at the airport.Dressed in black, he stood out starkly against the empty tarmac, as if the whole world revolved around him alone.As the plane climbed higher, the figure shrank, turning into a tiny black dot before vanishing entirely.In that moment, Sharon felt an emptiness swell in her chest.…After landing, Sharon was immediately picked up by Carter's men. She guesse

    Worried about Denise, Carter flew back to Amstern City that very day with Theo.Sharon stayed behind at Wendy's house.During that time, she received a call from Thomas, asking when she would return. Sharon only replied, "In two days," and Thomas didn't press further.Three days later, Sharon removed the tracking ring from her hand and placed it on the living room table.She asked Wendy, "Is everything set?"Wendy glanced at Sharon, disguised as a man with a wig, and let out a faint sigh."Sharon… are you sure this is a good idea? If Thomas finds out, he'll worry about you."Sharon pulled on her hat and mask. "If he asks, you don't need to cover for me—just tell the truth.""Sigh… I guess going back to Amstern City is for the best. At least Carter won't be under pressure anymore, and he won't get hurt because of this," Wendy said.Sharon checked the time on her wrist. "It's getting late. I should go."Wendy nodded.Just as Sharon stepped out of the room, Wendy called after h

    With one incident after another befalling the Biggs family, even if Sharon were slow to catch on, she could still see what was happening.Thomas was forcing Carter to go back.If Denise had truly been kidnapped, Carter would definitely return.Sure enough, not long after Sharon learned the news, Carter called. His voice carried a trace of cold severity. "Sharon, something's happened to Denise. I'm afraid I have to go back."Sharon asked, "What's her condition right now?""It's still unclear. I have to go back to find out." He paused for a few seconds before saying softly, "Sharon, I'm sorry."He had promised to help her, yet now he had to leave so soon—he'd barely done anything for her at all.Carter understood perfectly well that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes. And once he returned this time, he might not be able to come back anytime soon. Since Thomas had already made his arrangements, he wouldn't let him return so easily."What about Theo?" Sharon asked. "Will

    Theo's face scrunched in thought, torn between choices. After a moment of careful consideration, he said, "I like Thomas more… he's saved me so many times, and he always plays with me, and he's amazing at everything…"He rattled off Thomas's qualities as if reading from a treasured list. Then, as if remembering something, he added quickly, "But I also really like Dad. I just like Thomas a tiny bit more than Dad."He lifted a little finger to illustrate the slight difference.Carter, though Theo's biological father, had little time to spend with him. Sharon had raised Theo in the early years, and even after she left, Carter's interactions were limited. Calm and serious by nature, he had always seemed a little intimidating to Theo, far less approachable than Thomas.Sharon crouched down to Theo's eye level."Theo, Thomas is sick. He needs to get treatment, but he can't bear to leave you and Mommy. Next time Thomas wants to contact you, can you refuse him?"Theo's brows furrowed in

    Theo whispered softly, "Mom… I wasn't in the car when it happened. I went to the roadside restroom, so I'm fine."Sharon's gaze darkened. "Which hospital are you at? I'm coming to see you."Theo told her the name.She immediately turned the car toward the hospital.By the time Sharon arrived at the treatment room, Carter's injuries had already been cleaned and dressed.Seeing the scrape on his forehead, Sharon asked quietly, "Carter… are you okay?""I'm fine," Carter replied calmly. "Just some superficial wounds. Nothing serious."Sharon's expression darkened. "What happened?"Carter explained, "Just like Theo said. I was waiting for him to go to the restroom when a car lost control and hit me. Luckily, I dodged in time, so the impact wasn't severe. The driver didn't flee. He got out, apologized, said he was a beginner, didn't hit me on purpose, and offered to cover all damages and medical expenses."Sharon lowered her head in silence.Carter had been to Marcentine many times

    Sharon lowered her eyes. "I'm sorry… Carter is Theo's father. I can't avoid seeing him."The air grew heavy, suffused with tension. In the quiet room, only the sound of Thomas's increasingly ragged breathing could be heard.Sharon pushed him away and turned to leave—but suddenly, Thomas grabbed the back of her head and pressed a fierce kiss to her lips.His kiss carried the sting of punishment, raining down on her face and body with relentless intensity. Sharon felt tiny flashes of pain.She twisted and dodged, struggling to resist, but she was no match for him. With one hand, he pinned both of her hands easily. His body was like solid rock, immovable.Thomas had never been rough with her before. He had never forced her. Yet now, stripped of his usual restraint, he was so unfamiliar, so frightening that Sharon's heart jolted.Carmen had been right—Thomas's control over himself was almost too perfect. At times, Sharon had even thought he was normal, that his issues were minor, man

    "Besides," John continued, "we don't even know when the teachers will find us. Water is important for us, too."Earlier, the three of them had been chased by a wild boar and lost their backpacks while running. Their food and water were gone. Only Sharon's single flask remained, and it had to last u

    Silas said, "I understand."After ending the call, Victoria steered the car in the opposite direction from Thomas.Everyone in the Ferrero family was a little insane. They lived for danger, thrived on the edge. Best to stay away from people like that—before their madness burned you too.…After

    For a racer, a car is a second life.Few drivers would lend their car to someone they barely knew. Those cars were built to win—what if the other person tinkered with something? She and Lex became close because of racing, and even Lex had never driven her car. She and Thomas weren't that familiar
