The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 703
As long as there were still people living on a ship, it could never cut itself off from the outside world completely. Everyone on board needed food and water, and if Chris had suddenly changed course, he almost certainly had a specific destination in mind. Otherwise, out on that vast, featureless sea, it would be far too easy to lose their way.Mars called Dean and went straight to the point. "Your dear brother changed course. That ship's completely lost contact now. You know what to do."On the other end, Dean let out a long sigh.His brother was heading one of two places: that island, or somewhere out on this ocean where he meant to vanish forever, along with everyone else on board. Whichever it was, he clearly hadn't given Edward's life a single thought.Dean sent the island's coordinates to Mars, his voice hoarse with exhaustion. "That's everything I know. I hope, whatever happens, you won't hurt my son."His son was a person. But wasn't Adriana a person too? A knife only hurt

Adriana stared at Chris, who felt like a stranger to her now, fury tangled up with a stabbing kind of grief.She'd watched a brother she'd grown up alongside turn into this, powerless to stop it, forced now to resent him."Chris, turn back. It's not too late."Chris slowly exhaled a ring of smoke, the white haze curling up over his brow, blurring the obsession in his eyes."All right," he said, his lips curving up while his voice stayed cold as frost. "The moment you agree to what I want, I'll turn back."Adriana let out a breath, her chest tightening. "Chris, feelings can't be forced. What I feel for you is family, not love. Let me stay by your side as your sister. Isn't that enough?""No!" Chris hurled the cigarette to the ground and growled, "I need you to leave Francesco completely. I need you to have no one in your heart but me!"Faced with this version of Chris, Adriana felt a suffocating kind of pain, and tears blurred her vision in an instant.This was all her fault.S

Sophia took a deep breath. "You should sit down too."Francesco didn't sit. He leaned against a cabinet, one hand still gripping the gun, his whole body strung tight. Mars stood by the door, alert to every sound outside.Sophia gave a helpless little laugh. "I had my whole story ready, how I'd distance myself from all of this. You didn't even give me the chance to say a word of it."She paused. Francesco didn't respond.So she went on. "I never meant to hurt you or Adriana. I just couldn't accept losing to her. I'm not lacking anywhere she isn't. So why can't you let go of her?"Francesco said nothing, as if he weren't even listening. He glanced at his watch, his expression impatient. Every second of delay was another moment of torment. Adriana had been adrift on the sea for over a month now. He couldn't even begin to imagine how desperate and helpless she must feel.Sophia read his urgency and tried to offer some comfort. "Don't worry. Chris won't hurt her. She's a lucky woman
The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 700
A little past three in the morning, Francesco got off the plane and, with no time to rest, headed straight for Sophia's residence with Mars.At the darkened villa, Mars stepped up and knocked on the door. Sophia's steward opened it, and seeing it was Francesco, immediately showed them into the sitting room, served tea, and sent a maid to fetch Sophia.Sophia hadn't slept all night. She had been waiting for Francesco to show up. Once the maid came for her, she deliberately mussed her hair to fake the look of someone just woken from sleep, slid on her slippers, and hurried downstairs."Cesco, when did you get back? What brings you here at this hour?"The next second, she froze in place.Francesco pulled out a handgun without warning and leveled it at her face."Take me to Adriana."His expression was cold, his thin lips pressed into a hard line.Sophia's face went white, her lips trembling as she said, "I don't know what you mean..."Before she'd even finished, a deafening crack

Dean crushed the note in his palm, his knuckles cracking. He looked up, eyes red-rimmed, and growled, "What did you do to my son?"Mars shrugged. "Nothing. We just put him in a room with no windows. Your son's a tough kid, terrified out of his mind, but he doesn't cry, doesn't make a fuss. Quiet as anything."He paused awhile before continuing, his tone turning serious. "You've got three more days. If my boss still hasn't seen Ms. Adler by then, your son goes into the soundproof room. Nothing gets through those walls, not a sound."Dean's face twisted, savage. "You wouldn't dare!"Mars smiled. "When it comes to Ms. Adler, there's nothing my boss wouldn't dare."Of course, this was all meant to frighten Dean. Edward was, at that very moment, staying with Mars's son, in a bright and spacious room.Dean stared after Mars's retreating back, then snatched up the teacup beside him and hurled it to the floor. It shattered into pieces, scattering like the fragments of his own shredded co

That same night, Dean made his way to the Stanley family estate.Francesco leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed.Dean strode in, furious. "You won't even spare a child?"Francesco stayed unmoved, his tone indifferent. "The moment you let me see Adriana, you can see your son. Everything else is off the table."Dean clenched his jaw, ice settling in his eyes. "And you're not afraid of what I might do to Adriana?"Before the sentence had finished, Francesco's gaze snapped toward him, cold and razor sharp."If you don't care about that brat, go ahead and try it."Dean's chest tightened, and he found himself taking two involuntary steps back. His chest heaved as fury and regret churned together inside him. He'd been careless. He'd spent so much energy guarding against Francesco's moves on the Slater Group that he'd never once imagined this man would use Edward against him. That was his only son. How could he not have seen this coming?Francesco seemed to think even another glance

Francesco was supremely confident, moving without a shred of protective gear.Adriana tightened her grip on her sword, testing him with two tentative thrusts—both easily dodged by Francesco.His reflexes were lightning-fast, and soon he returned a strike of his own. Adriana couldn't evade it in ti

Daisy studied Edward, a flicker of something unusual passing through her eyes. The boy looked far too much like a member of the Slater family."Mhm, I gave birth overseas," Joan said.She gently nudged Edward toward Daisy. "Edward, hurry up and say hello to Daisy.""Hello, Daisy.""So adorable,"

Until the end of the next workday, Adriana hadn't received a reply from Chris.She had dinner with Oliver, and on the way home, she saw Joan and her son on a video call in the living room."Chris, I want a toy.""Alright. Tell your mom what New Year's gift you want."Chris's voice was clear, tho

Francesco rose and sank into the sofa. "Sit."Adriana took the seat across from him. "May I ask what kind of meeting this is?"The clock pointed to eleven. Most of the office staff had already left. She suspected his intentions weren't about the meeting at all, but about cornering her.Francesco'
