Blake rose to his feet. "Allow me to contact the police and tighten security."

"No," Charles said suddenly.

Blake turned, surprised. "Excuse me, Prof?"

"If we involve the police now, they might kill Leonard. Alan wants me to come. Alone. This is clearly psychological warfare."

Blake clenched his fist. "But you won't go alone. We'll infiltrate a shadow team. Remaining invisible, but ready to attack when needed."

Charles nodded slowly. "Alright. But I have to play along with their game, up to a c

  • THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION    51. Happily Ever After

    It had been a month since Charles and Cassie returned from their honeymoon touring Wales. London was beginning to transition into spring. Tulips bloomed in the city gardens, and the sun appeared longer in the sky. Charles and Cassie's lives felt increasingly colorful, even as busyness slowly returned.One morning, Cassie woke up earlier than usual. Her stomach felt a little nauseous, and she quickly felt tired. At first, Cassie thought it was just fatigue left over from their long trip. But as the days passed, she began to suspect something.A morning that changed everything.Cassie stood in the bathroom, looking at the test strip in her hand. Her hands trembled, her face was pale, her heart pounded."Oh God ..." she whispered softly.Two distinct red lines appeared on the surface of the pregnancy test.Charles knocked on the bathroom door. "Darling? Are you alright?"Cassie hurriedly hid the test pack behind her back. "Uh ... yes, I'm fine."Charles entered, wearing a white shirt tha

  • THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION    50. Romance in Portmeirion

    The morning sky in North Wales was clear, as if banishing the gloom that had overshadowed Cassie and Charles' journey for the past few days.The narrow, winding roads brought their car closer to Portmeirion, the magical village that Cassie had only ever seen in travel magazines.Cassie gazed at the scenery through the car window. Her eyes sparkled. "Charles, look at those colors! It's like Italy!"Charles nodded while driving. "What did I tell you? This place is like a piece of Italy stranded in Wales."Cassie giggled. "You're a poet and a professor."Charles glanced at her with a smile. "Only when I'm with you, Darling."Their car passed through a colorful gate adorned with flowers. Portmeirion stretched out before them, pastel buildings with small domes, latticed balconies, white lion statues, and circular staircases with colorful ceramics. The sound of seagulls blended with the gentle lapping of waves from the bay surrounding the village.Cassie held her breath. "Oh my gosh, this p

  • THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION    49. Like a Tsunami Attack

    The morning sun shone on the coast, gently caressing Cassie's face as she opened the window of their wooden cottage by the sea. Sunlight reflected on the surface of the water, making the ripples sparkle like crystals. The scent of sea salt, the gentle breeze, and the sound of seagulls evoked a sense of peace.Cassie peeked towards the bed. Charles was still asleep, his face relaxed. She grinned, then jumped onto the bed and straddled Charles."Wake up, Mr. Charles! We're in beach paradise today!"Charles sighed sleepily. "Please, let me have five more minutes, Darling."Cassie pinched her husband's nose. "No can do. The beach is calling us. Come on!"Charles chuckled. "Alright, alright, you're a fierce wife."Cassie threatened. "Want me to bite you again?"Charles immediately got up. "I'm awake, Darling!"Soon after, they sat on the cottage's terrace facing the beach. A simple wooden table was adorned with croissants, local honey, Welsh cheese, and two cups of hot coffee.Cassie bit i

  • THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION    48. A Honeymoon Full of Hot Sensations

    The morning sun shone on the west coast of Wales with a soft, golden glow. The sky was clear, the calm sea sparkling, reflecting the sunlight. Cassie and Charles got out of their rental car in the parking area of Barafundle Bay, one of the most beautiful beaches in Britain.Cassie stood stunned, gazing at the clear blue sea, flanked by cream-colored limestone cliffs. "Oh my God, Charles, look at the water! It's so clear, like glass!"Charles chuckled, putting his arm around Cassie's waist. "If you say so, it must be truly spectacular. You've seen so many beaches in Italy, after all."Cassie turned, hugging her husband tightly. "But this beach is different. It feels wilder and more natural. It feels like we're the only people in the world."Charles looked at his wife with love. "I love that idea."Cassie gently pinched Charles' cheek. "Don't get romantic yet. We have to have a picnic!"They then descended the long stone steps carved into the hillside. The salty sea air mingled with the

  • THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION    47. Enjoying the Beauty of Snowdonia

    The morning in Snowdonia brought a fresh air that stung the nostrils, yet invigorated the soul. A pale blue sky stretched above the green peaks and towering rocks. From the window of their traditional Welsh cottage-style inn, Cassie gazed at the vast and tranquil hillside scenery."A view like this, it feels like living in a painting," Cassie said, taking a deep breath.Charles, who was putting on his hiking jacket, smiled from behind her. "And that painting feels more alive because you're in it."Cassie turned and squinted. "You're starting again with the professor's sweet talk."Charles approached his wife and kissed her cheek. "It's not sweet talk, it's a scientific statement."Cassie laughed, then glanced at the clock on the wall. "So, where are we going to start today's adventure?"Charles handed her a folded map. "We're going up Mount Snowdon. The Llanberis Path, one of the most popular routes. The lake views along the trail are amazing. But we have to leave now if we want to be

  • THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION    46. Honeymoon to Snowdonia

    White mist still lingered on the mountain peaks as Charles' black car glided slowly into the Snowdonia region. The winding road was flanked by green valleys that resembled natural carpets. The air was cold but fresh, piercing the lungs, as if cleansing away all traces of past tension.Cassie sat in the passenger seat, her face illuminated by the silvery morning light. She wore a cream wool coat and a maroon scarf. Her smile was slightly shy."I can't believe we're finally here," she murmured, gazing out the window, her eyes sparkling.Charles glanced at her, keeping his hands on the steering wheel. "Why don't you believe it?"Cassie sighed. "After everything that's happened – the kidnapping, Alan – it feels like a dream to be able to sit here quietly with you, just the two of us."Charles reached out his left hand, gently squeezing her fingers. "Well, now that dream is real. From now on, it's just you and me. And Snowdonia."Cassie chuckled softly. "Snowdonia. Even the name of the pla
