The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 699
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

Dean, however, stayed perfectly composed, a faint smile even touching his face. "Francesco, your ex-wife's missing, and you come looking for me? Last I checked, the Slater estate isn't a police station."Francesco's hands clenched into fists. "You'd better hope I don't find Chris."Before the words had fully left his mouth, a small, timid voice sounded from the doorway."Dad."Dean waved his son over hurriedly, his voice suddenly unsteady. "Why are you back already?"Edward glanced at Francesco, then quickly looked away, murmuring, "Chess class let out early."Dean pulled his son close against him, then turned back to Francesco, his expression icing over. "Please leave, Francesco. I won't see you out."Francesco stared at the boy for two seconds, said nothing more, and turned to walk out with his men.Once outside the gate, he didn't break stride, giving low, firm instructions to Mars beside him. "Have someone grab that brat."Mars glanced back at the Slater estate, hesitating

Adriana woke when the sky had already gone fully bright. The moment she opened her eyes and saw she was still lying in that all-too-familiar cabin, despair washed over her like seawater, swallowing her whole, making even breathing difficult."You're awake? How are you feeling?"Chris's voice suddenly came from beside the bed. Adriana pulled the blanket up over her face, unwilling to look at him.Chris kept talking anyway. "Adriana, I could die alongside you. But I can't let you go back to Francesco."Adriana yanked the blanket back down and turned to look at him. The instant her eyes landed on that face, pale as paper, something sharp seemed to stab into her chest, and the question slipped out before she could stop it."What's wrong with you?"Chris tugged his sleeve down and lowered his eyes. "I'm fine."Getting a flicker of concern out of Adriana brought him no joy at all, only deeper pain.Adriana sat up, grabbed his wrist, and pushed the sleeve back up. A row of needle mark

And yet, to Adriana Adler, the days felt even harder to endure now that Chris had arrived."Are you planning to keep us drifting out here on the ocean for the rest of our lives?"Chris didn't answer right away. He pulled a photograph out of the bag he'd brought and held it out to her."Once some time has passed, we'll go live on this little island."Adriana didn't look at the photo. She turned her head toward the sealed glass window instead.She could never go to that island.But Chris trailed after her like a lingering ghost, day and night, his breathing always somewhere close by, never quite far enough away. She couldn't do a thing.For a while she'd managed to hold herself together, but in the few short days since Chris had arrived, her emotional state had started to crack. Her mind felt empty of everything; even her children's faces were starting to blur.She suddenly lost every last shred of hope, and with it, the will to keep fighting.One night, she walked alone into th

Adriana slept fitfully all night. Nightmares clung to her like thick, tangled seaweed, dragging her again and again into some darker depth. Each time she jolted awake, she'd see Chris sitting in the shadows at the foot of the bed. She couldn't make out his expression, but she could feel his eyes on her, just like in the dream, clinging to her skin, cold and dark.Morning finally came. Outside the window, the sky was a blinding blue, and sunlight spread across the sea.She stared into that brightness and said coldly, "I want to go up on deck for some air."Chris sat at the edge of the bed, his face blank in the morning light. "You can leave this room. Just not the deck. Not yet."He got up and knocked three unhurried times on the door. It opened from the outside.This was the first time Adriana had seen any other part of the ship since she'd been taken aboard. Outside was a corridor lined with bright windows on both sides. The sunlight poured in, making the wooden floor look even

Alex skimmed through the two articles in the newspaper, then crumpled it into a ball and tossed it into the trash.If Chris saw the second article, he would only get angry all over again."And this Francesco… his remarks are completely inappropriate.""Achoo!"Francesco, lounging against the edg

Seeing the wicked glint at the corner of Francesco's eyes, a sense of foreboding rose in Adriana's chest.She lifted the binoculars. The moment the cross-river bridge came into view, she saw a figure climb over the unguarded end of the bridge and plunge into the river below.Even from a distance,

"I can keep investigating for you, if you'd like," Charlie offered.In truth, he could have followed the trail and uncovered whoever was behind it. But the matter might involve Adriana's privacy, so he chose not to pursue it further.Adriana thought for a moment. "Then I'll trouble you, Charlie. C

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
